“What are you talking about? I was clearly with Brother Chu!” How could she have slept at the mansion’s entrance? Did Brother Chu bring her here? Thinking this, Blue Ling’er smiled faintly.
“Hey, have you considered what I said last time?” He had heard the princess was about to arrive and needed help. This girl seemed the most suitable candidate.
“No! I’m sleeping!” Feeling exhausted, Blue Ling’er crawled back under the covers.
“Hey! Wake up! Unless you agree to my request, forget about sleeping!” Dongfang Yu was persistent, pulling the blanket away.
“Fine! I’ll give you a problem. If you can solve it after I wake up, I’ll agree to your request.”
“123, 321, 1234567, 7+8, 8+7, 9 plus 10 plus 11!” Blue Ling’er yawned and burrowed back under the covers, drifting into a sweet dream.
“123, 321…” Dongfang Yu’s voice could still be heard through the blanket.
What’s the answer to this problem? What a boring girl!
The clear autumn sky resembled a calm blue sea; intense white light danced in the air, like ripples on the surface. Autumn nights added an extra layer of melancholy, reminiscent of poets’ words: “Since ancient times, autumn brings loneliness and desolation.”
Stretching lazily, she opened her eyes and was startled.
“Hey, are you sick? Why are you watching me sleep?” Opening her eyes revealed that this guy had disturbed her pleasant dream.
“Tell me, in this room with just the two of us, what would happen if I were to have my way with you?” Dongfang Yu asked with a wicked smile while reaching out to touch her cheek. He needed two days to manage this girl; otherwise, meeting the princess would be problematic.
“Who are you? Get out of this room right now!” She was genuinely furious. Early in the morning, as dawn broke, old women stood outside her door, banging basins. Were they all looking to die?
“Miss, please forgive us! This is the prince’s order!”
Before leaving for court, the prince instructed us to teach you etiquette and skills such as playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, and embroidery—activities for noble young ladies.” An older woman, who looked like a witch to Lan Ling’er, stepped forward and spoke respectfully.
