After failing the imperial examination, he began to wield immense power after entering the palace!

A hint of suspicion flashed in Princess Anle's eyes, and she shook her head directly.

"You dog of a servant, are you trying to take this opportunity to shoot me, the princess?"

"Your Highness is overthinking it."

Li Fan spread his hands, looking completely innocent.

"If I were to harm even a hair on your head, my entire family would be executed. How could I possibly risk my life like this?"

"I just wanted to make the game a little more exciting."

He paused, a hint of provocation flashing in his eyes.

"Or perhaps, the princess doesn't have the courage to play this game?"

Princess Anle's expression changed.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.

Li Fan didn't give her time to hesitate.

"Since the princess dares not, then we shall take our leave."

"From now on, don't bother me, and I won't offend you either."

He turned and left, his steps crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

Princess Anle was stunned.

She watched Li Fan's figure walk further and further away, feeling as if something was blocking her heart.

From childhood to adulthood, Princess Anle has never been afraid to play any game.

Blindfolded knife throwing is nothing; she's done much more exciting things.

But this lackey spoke to her in such a tone, as if she were a coward.

"Halt! You lackey, I know you're trying to provoke me."

"but……"

She took a deep breath and raised her voice a few decibels:

"This bet, I, the princess, will take it!"

Li Fan turned around, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"OK."

Princess Anle had already squatted down, picked up a few small stones from the ground, and weighed them in her hand.

"This princess didn't bring any throwing knives, so I'll use pebbles instead."

She raised her chin, a sly glint in her eyes.

It's just a pebble, not a throwing knife.

Even if it hits, it won't hurt anyone.

Moreover—the pebble is so light, it would drift away with a gust of wind, how could it possibly hit the gold hairpin on my head?

She's determined to win this bet.

Li Fan took the pebble from her hand and smiled indifferently.

"Princess, would you like me to be blindfolded?"

Princess Anle's anger flared up again at his smug expression.

This lackey is provoking her.

"Mongolian!"

"You must be blindfolded!"

Li Fan nodded and tore a strip of cloth from his sleeve.

He slowly wrapped it around his eyes and tied it in a knot at the back of his head.

"Please, Princess, stand twenty paces away."

Princess Anle lifted her skirt, walked to the end of the corridor, and turned around.

"Are you done yet?"

"alright."

Princess Anle looked at his blindfolded and nonchalant appearance and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

But she quickly suppressed that unease.

Twenty steps.

Blindfolded.

Pebbles.

With these three conditions combined, even a god couldn't hit you.

"You dog slave, if you lose..."

"Don't speak."

Li Fan interrupted her, raising his right hand with a pebble between his fingers.

He took a deep breath and flicked his wrist.

The pebble shot through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

Princess Anle instinctively closed her eyes.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound.

She felt a jolt on the top of her head, as if something had hit her.

The golden hairpin flew off the hair bun, spun a few times in the air, and landed on the ground three zhang away with a "thud".

A few strands of her dark hair fell down and hung beside her ears.

Princess Anle suddenly opened her eyes.

She looked down at the gold hairpin lying in the distance, and froze.

Did you hit it?

That lackey was blindfolded, and he actually hit him!

Princess Anle's mind went blank for a moment.

next moment.

Li Fan removed the blindfold.

He looked at Princess Anle's head, where the gold hairpin was no longer there.

Since he reached the eighth rank, his hearing has improved by leaps and bounds.

He knocked off a gold hairpin in a mere twenty steps while blindfolded, without even a hint of a problem.

"Princess, it seems you've lost."

Princess Anle never expected that she would lose.

She stood there, her peach blossom eyes wide open, her mouth opening and closing repeatedly.

The expression on his face changed from shock to anger, and from anger to frustration.

This was the first time in her life she had ever lost to someone.

Moreover, the one who lost was a eunuch!

"You lackey..."

She gritted her teeth, squeezing out the words through the gaps between them.

"Hmph, so what if I lost to you in one game? What do you want? Hurry up and say it."

Li Fan looked at her with a smile and slowly raised one finger.

"My first request is that, in private when we are alone, Princess, please call me 'Master'."

"What?"

Princess Anle's face instantly turned bright red.

She stomped her foot suddenly, her bright red skirt billowing, her head full of jewels jingling.

"Impossible! You lackey!"

"You'll never be called 'master' by this princess in this lifetime!"

She was furious, her chest heaving violently.

Those two full, soft mounds trembled incessantly through the thin fabric of the red dress.

I never would have imagined that this lackey would make such a shameless request!

How dare he?

Li Fan wasn't annoyed; he just looked at her with a half-smile.

"Your Highness, are you trying to renege on your promise?"

"A princess of a nation, how dare she act so shamelessly towards a mere eunuch like me?"

"Do you even care about your face anymore?"

Princess Anle's lips trembled slightly; she wanted to retort, but couldn't utter a word.

"If I'd known the princess was a scoundrel..."

Li Fan sighed, his face full of regret.

"I shouldn't have played this game with you."

"From now on, Princess, please do not bother me again."

He turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

Princess Anle stood there, her eyes flickering several times.

She bit her lower lip so hard it almost bled.

"stop!"

Li Fan stopped walking without turning around.

Princess Anle took a deep breath, her voice squeezed out from the depths of her throat, each word sounding like she was swallowing a knife.

"Alright, the first request... I, the princess, grant it."

Li Fan turned around and looked at her with a smile.

"Why hasn't the princess called out yet?"

Princess Anle stood in the sunlight, her bright red skirt fluttering gently in the wind, her headdress adorned with jingling pearls and jade.

Her face flushed red and then turned pale, her lips trembled, and her throat felt like it was blocked by something.

Those two words were too shameful.

She was so ashamed that she, a princess of a nation, could not bring herself to say it.

But she refused to admit defeat.

Princess Anle never reneges on her debts.

"host……"

The sound was so faint, like a mosquito's buzz, that it was blown away by the wind as soon as it was uttered.

Li Fan raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and just looked at her.

Princess Anle's eyes reddened.

She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and forced out those two words from deep in her throat...

"Owner."

Her voice was still very soft, trembling, filled with shame and resentment.

But Li Fan heard it clearly.

At that moment, the joy in his heart exploded like a volcano.

The princess of the current dynasty.

His Majesty's most beloved daughter.

A ruthless woman who kills without blinking an eye.

Now, call him master.

"Um!"

Li Fan nodded, his smile as bright as if he had secretly eaten honey.

"Princess, you're such a good girl."
