Chapter 200: Men on both sides
Chunyu Tower, where singing and dancing filled the air, and the melodious sound of the zither lingered, was an exceptionally elegant and romantic place.

Yu Changfeng leaned back in his chair, lazily fiddling with the wine cups on the table.

Now that school is over, Nuan Nuan must be on his way to pick someone up. If he didn't need to avoid suspicion in front of others, he would have gone with them long ago. Why would he need to pretend to be friendly with these princes?

The Second Prince of Dongchen raised his wine cup, "The Crown Prince's honor in sharing a drink with us is a great honor for us."

Seeing that the person on the seat remained motionless for a long time, the Second Prince's lips twitched, and he cursed his ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

He had the audacity to interfere and disrupt the original plan, instead of trying to win over the royal families of these small countries.

Princess Nanyue colluded with him to create this enrollment issue, and today, half of the people who accepted his invitation to the banquet have been lost.

I cannot quell the hatred in my heart without avenging this grudge.

The royal family and envoys of the small country were all opportunists, and they all followed suit by offering toasts.

"Young Prince Jingbei Lin Prince."

"Kresha Jingbei Lin Prince".

Yu Changfeng glanced at them sideways, then casually raised his glass and drank it down.

The sound of the piano rose up, drowning out the murmurs of discontent from some people.

The second prince was humiliated, and his expression turned ugly for a moment before he spoke insincerely.

"Where are the courtesans in the tower? Why don't you quickly summon some beauties to serve the Crown Prince, so that he can be pleased and you can also have a better fate?"

The flower girl walked slowly with a smile on her face, swaying her hips, without a trace of panic.

"Oh dear, Your Highness, you may not know this, but the girls in this building sell their art, not their bodies. If Your Highness is not averse to them, I, Hua Niang, will personally serve you."

With a powerful backer, she was no longer the timid and cowardly brothel manager she once was.

"How dare you be so disobedient!"

The Second Prince was furious. It was one thing for the Crown Prince of Beilin to disregard him, but for a mere manager of a brothel to act so arrogantly.

Hua Niang bowed and explained, "Hua Niang dares not. The master has ordered that the girls in Chunyu Tower need not serve anyone, and Hua Niang dares not disobey the master's wishes."

The second prince suppressed his anger at overturning the table, his hand holding the wine cup trembling.

"Chunyulou has quite the nerve. How dare a lowly servant offend the royal family? I, the prince, want to see what kind of status he has."

Every word he uttered was laced with disdain, clearly showing that he didn't take the people behind Chunyulou seriously.

Yu Changfeng, always eager for a good show, casually remarked.

"I remember that Chunyu Tower belonged to Princess Nanyue."

The second prince's face stiffened, and he felt a lump in his throat.

It's Princess Nanyue again. He swears he won't be a man if he doesn't kill her.

The princes and envoys of the small country remained silent, heads bowed, not daring to get involved.

Anyone who dares to make a move at this moment will surely be made the target of anger.

"Boring."

Yu Changfeng threw down his wine cup and strode away.

This action completely disregarded the Second Prince of Dongchen.

Compared to the noisy Chunyu Tower, Tao Mansion was just as bustling.

After returning from Tai'an College, the two girls secretly drank alcohol and are now clinging to her tightly.

Fule's eyes were red and tears were streaming down her face, but she kept her mouth shut and refused to cry out.

In contrast, Zhenbao howled and chased after the guards with two spiked clubs, frolicking around.

Ah Yuan and the others grabbed them from both sides, barely managing to snatch the spiked club.

Seeing the pitiful girl clutching the wine bottle, Shi Nuanyu felt a pang of sympathy.

"Fule, is there anything on your mind that you want to tell your sister?"

However, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl has many things on her mind.

Fule sniffed and tilted her little face up. "Can I tell Princess Sister everything?"

Despite feeling incredibly wronged, they still tried to probe and ask questions.

Shi Nuanyu nodded slightly and picked up a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

Upon receiving a positive response, Fule could no longer hold back and threw herself into her arms, bursting into tears and recounting her grievances in broken sentences.

"Fule does not want to be married off or be given a political marriage. Fule wants to share the burdens of the people like her sister Princess. Fule wants to study at the academy with her classmates, to understand things and learn knowledge."

Her short one-day trip to the school was the happiest time of her life.

She admired her older sister, the princess, and wanted to become like her.

The little girl sobbed and huddled in her arms. Shi Nuanyu felt a pang of sadness. She could make decisions for Nan Yue, but not for Dong Chen, and was destined not to be able to help her.

Silently comforting her and giving her enough sense of security.

After crying enough, Fule shyly stepped out of her arms, her eyes blurry with tears, and asked...

"Princess sister, can Fule shoulder the responsibilities of a princess just like you?"

What a little girl who longs for affirmation!
Shi Nuanyu couldn't bring herself to say anything hurtful, so she patted the girl's little head.

"Of course, by following your heart and breaking free from all constraints, you can generate boundless courage."

"Following my heart, Your Highness's words have enlightened me."

Tao Huiyan, dressed in a light purple gauze dress, gracefully approached, her wide collar completely covered, making her appear extremely dignified.

It was rare to see him like this, so Shi Nuanyu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked him up and down.

With outsiders present, Tao Huiyan observed all the proper etiquette.

"Greetings, Your Highness, Princess Fule."

A flamboyant man attracts attention wherever he goes.

Fule blushed and quickly got up to say goodbye, "Fule will come to see Princess Sister again tomorrow."

After saying that, the little girl ran off, determined not to disturb the lovers' reunion.

With no one else in the courtyard, Shi Nuanyu beckoned with her finger, "Come here."

Even a seemingly innocent peach blossom fairy can be incredibly alluring when she's serious.

Tao Huiyan smiled, pulling out the tightly tied belt from her waist as she walked and sat down, her robes open, revealing her elegant demeanor.

"I am deeply saddened that Your Highness has been missing me for several days since I left home."

He spoke sad words, but there was not a trace of sadness in his eyes.

With her gaze falling on the man's bare chest muscles, Shi Nuanyu teased with a smile, "You were all covered up just now, but now you're showing your true colors. I see you're enjoying yourself."

Tao Huiyan held the woman's hand to her chest, her eyes filled with unconcealed sorrow.

"Is Your Highness trustworthy now?"

Such acting skills compelled Shi Nuanyu to give a thumbs up.

"As expected of a womanizer, Boss Tao can seduce people with just one look. I am ashamed to admit that I am not as good as him."

If she were truly a foolish princess, she would build a palace wall to lock him up, making him a caged bird.

Tao Huiyan got into character, leaning forward slightly, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally tracing the woman's red lips.

"It is my honor to have won Your Highness's heart."

The beauty filter was suddenly activated, and Shi Nuanyu blinked nervously, hurriedly covering the man's eyes.

"In broad daylight, you shouldn't do this."

Fortunately, she had enough self-control at that moment, otherwise she really would have pounced on him.

"It's not allowed in broad daylight, but will Your Highness stop us when the candlelight is flickering?"

How was she supposed to answer that question?

"of course……"

"Of course not."

Yu Changfeng's narrow eyes narrowed slightly as he strode over, picked up the tea from the tea table, and drank it.

"Boss Tao acts like a brothel owner, isn't he afraid of being laughed at?"

After he finished speaking, his gaze remained fixed on the woman who was staring straight ahead and refused to turn her head to look at him.

Tao Huiyan slowly gathered her clothes, "If Your Highness likes it, I will certainly practice diligently."

The pungent incense, mixed with the strong smell of alcohol, filled his nostrils. He spoke sarcastically, "Your Highness has quite the refined taste; I, Tao, am no match for you."

As the two locked eyes, a hidden undercurrent of tension simmered.

Shi Nuanyu pretended not to see anything, keeping her eyes straight ahead, and carefully poured herself a cup of tea. Although the movement was small, it still attracted the attention of the two of them.

Not knowing how to react, he awkwardly raised his teacup with a laugh.

Do you want some?

Just as Yu Changfeng was about to reach out, someone intercepted his hand.

Shi Nuanyu watched helplessly as Tao Huiyan leaned closer and drank the rest of the tea, using the lip print on the cup as a starting point.

None of them have any intention of living together right now, and there's a dramatic situation to come, so stay tuned, my darlings.
