Chapter 96 A Better Gift

Zhixing's slightly cold fingertips pressed gently on his muscular curves, her face red as if blood was dripping out.

Ye Jingnian's slightly rough fingertips brushed across her delicate skin, looked at the part that had been injured, and said, "Well, there are no scars."

"I apply the ointment that His Highness gave me... every... day..." Zhi Xing said tremblingly.

"Can't hear clearly."

"Your Highness..."

Ye Jingnian stroked her back and looked at her shy appearance. A gleam flashed across his dark eyes: "What are you shaking for?"

Zhixing lowered her head, not daring to look at his face.

"Where are you looking?"

Zhi Xing didn't think much about it at first, but when he said that, she turned her face away hurriedly.

But after teasing for a while, the person in his arms began to burst into tears.

Ye Jingnian narrowed his eyes slightly, with a deep meaning flashing in his eyes. He turned her over and pressed her against the stone wall. He raised his hand to lift her chin and kissed her lips.

The eyes of the beauty in his arms were red and her delicate pupils were sparkling with tears. This was the second time he kissed her since the night they first met.

Ye Jingnian spoke in a hoarse voice, pressing his lips against hers, "From now on, you will do the bathing work."

Zhi Xing clenched her fists tremblingly and whispered, "Yes..."

Ye Jingnian moved the hand that was holding her wrist up, pried open her fingers one by one, flattened her soft palm, and pressed it into the water.

Zhixing bit her lips tightly and dared not say a word, her cheeks reflected by the candlelight were red as if dripping blood.

The water waves were rippling, which was not very obvious due to the evaporation of water vapor. There was a not too thick fog, which reflected the surrounding candlelight and cast a dazzling glow.

But before long, an inopportune voice came from outside the screen: "Your Highness, Miss Yanle is here."

Ye Jingnian let go of Zhixing's lips and looked at the clepsydra in the distance. The time had come.

Zhi Xing was stunned for a moment, but before she could react, Ye Jingnian had already let go of her wrist and stood up.

Zhixing turned sideways and stretched out her hand to keep him, but she didn't dare to, so she could only lower her head and take her hand back.

Ye Jingnian let out a long breath, casually picked up a towel from the shelf to wipe the water droplets off his body, changed his clothes, and walked out.

She had listened to erotic music several times. Ye Jingnian, the top performer in Chunxiang Pavilion, had summoned her to his mansion to dance several times. She didn't care much for the girls in brothels.

She looked down at her hands, frowning in confusion, and said, "What is this?"

So in Ye Jingnian's heart, he was not even as good as that prostitute? !
She suddenly stood up, jealousy burning in her eyes, and she reached out and smashed the white jade bottle on the shelf to the ground.

There was a "crackling" sound coming from the inner room in the corridor. Yan Chuan, who was behind Ye Jingnian, frowned slightly in dissatisfaction and said, "Your Highness, Miss Zhi Xing seems to have broken something."

"Yeah." Ye Jingnian responded softly.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for speaking frankly. If anything in your room is broken, Zhi Xing cannot afford to pay for it. You just summoned her for a while, and she became so arrogant. Where has there ever been such a spoiled girl in the Crown Prince's Mansion?"

Ever since Zhi Xing forced Ye Jingnian to stay at home for several months, Yan Chuan has been extremely dissatisfied with her. He doesn't understand why His Highness didn't punish that woman at all after returning home.

Ye Jingnian glanced in the direction of the house, and without stopping, he said lazily, "Let her go."

Yan Chuan was slightly stunned, but he still lowered his head in shame and said no more. With a "creaky" sound, the door was pushed open.

"Your Highness!" A charming voice was heard, and the man who opened the door was hugged by the woman in the room.

Yan Chuan showed a look of panic and stood still.

The woman in red raised her eyes, but saw that the person in front of her was not Ye Jingnian. She frowned in disgust, quickly let go of her hand and took a step back.

Ye Jingnian then stepped into the room, glanced at Yanle with contempt, and sneered.

A brothel girl is still a brothel girl after all, and when she sees a man she can't wait to get close to him.

Yanle bit her lip in annoyance, snorted at Yanchuan, and then went to Ye Jingnian again: "Your Highness, you haven't come to see me for a long time."

Ye Jingnian drew the sword from his waist, put the scabbard against her shoulder, and pushed her away.

"Your Highness, you..."

Yanle staggered, and her thin collar was pushed up, revealing her snow-white skin, with a few ambiguous red marks particularly obvious.

Ye Jingnian turned around with a frown in disgust and said, "Not everyone can touch me."

Yanle looked down and immediately pulled up her collar to cover the mark. She frowned in grievance and said, "Your Highness wants Chunxiang Pavilion to keep the secret between you and me. Without Your Highness's protection, those stinky men bully me... If they knew that I was Your Highness's woman, they would definitely not dare to do that."

Ye Jingnian walked to the chair, sat down, raised his hand and waved lightly.

Yan Chuan understood, lowered his head, walked out, and closed the door.

Yanle nodded and smiled shyly, then moved her soft body to sit next to Ye Jingnian, raised her hand to pour him a glass of wine, picked up the glass and handed it to him, saying, "Your Highness, drink."

Ye Jingnian took the wine glass, snorted, and said, "The silver I gave you is enough for you to not have to entertain guests for half a year."

Yanle looked at him pitifully and said, "Your Highness, Yanle is innocent. If I don't have contact with those men, how can I help Your Highness get information? This is what Your Highness wants."

She looked at Ye Jingnian's handsome face, and the dangerous sense of oppression made her extremely excited.

She said infatuatedly: "If His Highness is willing to accept me... I will definitely be loyal to His Highness..."

She can get information by drinking with guests, playing the piano, and dancing. It is obvious that she is in need of a man. She took the initiative to get close to him and stay with him forever? Humph...

"Forget it. I don't care about your life." Ye Jingnian drank a glass of wine and said, "What's the news recently?"

Yanle smiled and continued to pour him wine, saying, "Yesterday, the son of the butler of the Prime Minister's family came to Chunxiang Pavilion. I heard from him that the Prime Minister has been very important to the Emperor recently. The Emperor seemed to have said that he wanted to find an official position for the eldest young master Li Shang..."

Ye Jingnian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Really?"

The Prime Minister of Ming Dynasty is very loyal to Ye Jinchen.

"It can't be wrong." He has come to Chunxiang Pavilion several times, and he always talks about the Prime Minister's family. I dare not tell Your Highness until I am sure of it."

Yanle bit her lip and whispered, "Your Highness, I have worked so hard for you, shouldn't I be rewarded..."

After she finished speaking, she slowly moved her hand on the table to Ye Jingnian's hand.

Ye Jingnian withdrew his hand, exhaled lightly, and said: "You don't have to be so obsessed with following me. Compared to men, I have something better to give you."

Yanle's eyes flashed with a sparkle, and her throat rolled for a while, saying: "Your Highness, could it be..."
