Quick Wear: Pampering Your Lover

Chapter 151 The Dandy Prince Disguised as a Man (11)

The night is as cool as water and everything is silent.

Mingzhen was sent back to the mansion by Lu Xingzheng under the silvery moonlight. Under the cover of darkness, no one noticed her red and slightly swollen lips, and the several red marks under her clothes.

Tonight, when developing feelings with Lu Xingzheng, because of curiosity about matters between men and women, she accidentally got carried away and did something more intimate than last time. Although she stopped at the last moment, Mingzhen did feel comfortable.

She glanced at Youling, who was keeping watch outside the house but sleeping soundly, and stepped into the room with a guilty conscience, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow.

"Who?" Mingzhen was alert.

"Cousin, it's me."

A slightly childish voice sounded, and a thin figure walked into the dim candlelight beside the bed. Mingzhen, who had excellent eyesight, easily saw the boy's delicate and handsome face.

She instantly let down her guard and whispered, "Zhifang, why are you here with me?"

She knew that her cousin had been living with her for some time. They had a close relationship, so she naturally wouldn't blame him.

But why did he suddenly come to his room in the middle of the night?

She was gone for an hour, so my cousin probably didn't know...

"Cousin, I can't sleep and want to sleep with you..." Yan Zhifang pursed his lips, his long eyelashes like crow feathers cast a shadow on his cheek, and his expression seemed a little fragile.

Mingzhen walked over and patted him on the back. "Did you have a nightmare?"

The young man was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes and nodded, "Yeah, I dreamed that my cousin left me and left... Cousin, I was so scared, can you let me sleep with you?"

If it was three or four years earlier, the two of them would have slept in the same bed. When they were tired from playing, they would lie down and sleep together without any scruples. But now she is sixteen years old, and if she were to return to her girlhood, she would have already reached the age of marriage.

Sleeping together is not okay.

Mingzhen pondered for a while and was about to persuade him to go back when he saw the young man hug his waist first.

Although Yan Zhifang was only nine years old, he looked almost as old as Mingzhen. At this moment, he buried his cheek in Mingzhen's shoulder, his voice still trembling, "Please, cousin, I'm so scared..."

"......it is good."

Mingzhen still agreed.

He really looked so pitiful.

"Okay, I'll stay with you. Go to bed and sleep." Mingzhen patted the back of his head and yawned.

I'm indeed a little sleepy.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the two of them had gotten into bed, Yan Zhifang noticed that the person beside him was breathing evenly and had obviously fallen into a deep sleep.

The candlelight in the hall was dim and yellow. He raised himself up and, with the dim light, could see Mingzhen stretching out her snow-white arms from the quilt. Her long, soft, black hair spread out, making her look even whiter than snow.

Her eyes were closed, her breathing was shallow, and her sleeping face was peaceful and well-behaved, not as unruly as usual, but like a crabapple tree sleeping in spring.

Yan Zhifang has always known that his cousin is extremely handsome.

He covered his rapidly beating heart and carefully got into Mingzhen's bed. He grabbed her arm and covered it with it. After it warmed up, he hugged her lovingly.

He had actually come here a long time ago and had been waiting for his cousin for nearly an hour. He had already noticed something was wrong with his cousin, but...

He will support his cousin no matter what he does.

Oh yes, except going to those smoky and foul places and making friends with those hypocritical and disgusting people.

The boy's arms tightened.

In any case, he is the person closest to my cousin.

Yan Zhifang closed his eyes and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

......

Prince Huai's Palace.

This year's winter came especially quickly. A thin layer of snow had already covered the outside of the temple, but inside the temple it was warm and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of tea.

After Zizhu served tea to the two of them, she tactfully left the hall.

Mingzhen and Lingling sat opposite each other on the rosewood couch near the window. There was a chessboard on the table in the middle, and the two were playing chess in deep thought.

Mingzhen thought for a while, suddenly curled his lips, and placed the black piece in his hand on one of the positions.

"Sister Ling, it's your turn!"

Mingzhen's eyebrows were slightly curved, with a sly smile in her eyes. Ling Ling raised her eyes to meet her gaze, her cheeks felt a little hot, her hand trembled, and the chess piece was placed in the wrong place.

My brother looks so weird.

She actually didn't expect that the friend she made by chance would be the prince of the Ming Dynasty. However, when getting along with people, she never looked at their identities, but only looked at whether they were sincere.

In the past two months, she felt more and more that she and Mingzhen had similar interests. Although Mingzhen had a bad reputation outside, she didn't care.

She has her own eyes and can see.

Ling Ling didn't intend to take the chess piece back. She just signaled Ming Zhen to take the next move and said, "I wonder how the snow disaster in the northern border is doing now..."

This year's snowstorm was so fierce that even the capital was much colder than in previous years. When going out, I wanted to wrap myself up completely.

Mingzhen paused and sighed, "The situation is very bad. The people of Yanbei and Hengdan can hardly endure it anymore..."

They had been open with each other before. Mingzhen told her the situation in the northern border and did not hide the fact that the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince were perfunctory in their response to disaster relief. Ling Ling immediately said that she had many partners nearby who she had worked with and could support disaster relief.

So they joined together, Ling Ling provided the money, Ming Zhen provided the labor, and secretly sent people to the northern border.

As for the people Ming Zhen sent out, they naturally came from Lu Xingzheng. At Ming Zhen's suggestion, Lu Xingzheng volunteered to secretly go to the northern border to secretly monitor the disaster relief operations of the crown prince and the seventh prince.

The emperor thought about it and agreed.

His heart was also wavering. The Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince were enemies. He couldn't bear to give up either of their children, but he was destined to choose only one.

"Oh." Ling Ling also sighed.

This time she has donated more than half of her assets, and the rest is needed to support so many employees she hired. She has done her best.

"Don't worry, it will be fine." Mingzhen put down the chess piece.

Just like her chessboard, she takes an unconventional approach, but is destined to come out on top.

......

In a small courtyard somewhere in Yanbei.

The room was burning charcoal of extremely poor quality, and the air was filled with a strong smell of charcoal fire. Even so, I was still very cold all over.

The man standing in front of the window was wearing a dark robe and a black cloak. He was tall and straight, with a majestic aura. His red, frozen fingertips were holding a thin piece of paper, and he was reading the contents on it seriously.

This letter was naturally Mingzhen's reply.

He had collected evidence of the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince's negligence in disaster relief and their closing of the two city gates to save trouble, and had given it to Mingzhen.

In fact, the two princes did not want to be so decisive, but the snowstorm was too severe. The snow on the road was so thick that it was difficult to walk. It was impossible to move forward by horse or carriage. They could only walk. The weather was so cold that it seemed to freeze people into ice. Naturally, the two princes could not bear such suffering, so they sent people to go.

But it was not satisfactory. When it was transported to the two cities, there was almost nothing left. In addition, the accompanying officials also needed food and drink, so there was even less left.

In order to prevent the people from escaping and causing unnecessary trouble, the city gates were simply blocked.
