No title, no marriage? Do you think I'm some kind of lapdog?

"Brother Chuang...you've made Father angry again..."

Su Chuang walked around a corner and found that Lin Ruxue was waiting for him.

A relatively tight-fitting purple dress accentuated her curvaceous figure.

A pair of plump thighs, unfazed by the cold, exposed in the depths of autumn, tempting men to make fatal mistakes.

A small cherry-like mouth, with two lips gently moving, not only has a gentle voice, but also a refreshing fragrance.

His throat tightened, but he sneered inwardly:

This girl, she always chooses to come right when he has just angered the Martial Emperor...

"Ah... So it's Princess Ruxue..."

Su Chuang quickly suppressed his primal instincts and forced out a nonchalant smile.

This is the imperial palace; we must behave properly and not have the slightest improper thoughts.

"snort!"

"Brother Chuang...you forgot?"

"We agreed beforehand that you don't need to be so distant with me!"

Lin Ruxue pouted and protested.

"Um... okay... Ruxue..."

Su Chuang wanted to retort, but he saw Lin Ruxue acting angry in a coquettish manner.

He scratched his head helplessly and said intermittently.

"Hehe...that's more like it."

Lin Ruxue was happy to see that Su Chuang was listening to her so well.

"Come on, Brother Chuang, have a sip."

"This is a brand new wine from the capital, it's incredibly delicious."

"Supply cannot meet demand!"

As Lin Ruxue covered her mouth and chuckled, she handed the other person a small pot of wine.

"Oh? Since supply can't meet demand, then... how did Ru Xue manage to buy it?"

Su Chuang took it and, after just one glance, knew it was made by him.

As the beverage business grew, the existing few types of beverages could no longer meet the demand.

Therefore, a few days ago, a product was specially produced for wealthy ladies who like to drink, called Fruit Wine!

It has a mild, sweet, and fragrant taste, with a relatively low alcohol content, making it suitable for elegant ladies to enjoy a small sip.

"Hmph! This is naturally no problem for me!"

Lin Ruxue said with a hint of pride, and then took a sip of wine.

It tastes so good…

However, she didn't mention that she had to pull a lot of strings to find out that Wang Wenxiang was in charge of the exclusive sales in order to get a sip of it.

"Drink less; too much of this alcohol is bad for your health..."

Seeing Lin Ruxue's cheeks gradually turning red, Su Chuang reminded her as if by some strange twist of fate.

She looks absolutely stunning!

"Hehe... Brother Chuang is concerned about me~"

Lin Ruxue was quite happy to hear this.

"You know, I was so worried when you were taken away by the fake angel that day. Luckily, you're alright."

"Otherwise, I will make them go down to their deaths!"

She abandoned her usual gentleness towards Su Chuang and spoke with considerable firmness.

The injuries on her body were from that time, and they have almost healed by now.

Therefore, he did not explain in detail to Su Chuang, so as not to worry him.

"Um?"

Su Chuang suddenly realized that Lin Ruxue seemed to know a lot.

"Oh, it's alright, it's all over now..."

"Come on, I'll take you to where I live. Let's drink until we drop!"

Lin Ruxue reverted to her usual lively and adorable self, and without any attempt to avoid suspicion, she grabbed Su Chuang and started running.

"Ru Xue...this is not right. As an outsider, I cannot go deep into the palace."

Su Chuang quickly refused, but for some reason, Lin Ruxue's strength was exceptionally great; she must be a hidden master.

"It's alright... You're my brother Chuang... You should know my heart... I won't marry anyone but you..."

The more Lin Ruxue spoke, the redder her face became, and the softer her voice grew, until finally it sounded like a tiny mosquito buzzing…

"Besides, you're practically Father Emperor's son, you're not an outsider!"

She said with absolute certainty what she finally thought of.

"Um... okay then..."

Su Chuang had no choice but to agree; nothing ventured, nothing gained.

He also wanted to learn a lot of secrets from Lin Ruxue!

At worst, we'll make it a fait accompli, what's there to be afraid of!

Deep Spring Palace.

It is located deep within the palace, right next to Yongle Palace.

"Ru Xue, your palace is your private chamber. It wouldn't be appropriate for a grown man like me to go in..."

"Hmph! I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of? You're a grown man, yet you're acting all coy and timid!"

"Um... okay then..."

"Hehe... I knew it, Brother Chuang is the best..."

Su Chuang was dragged inside by Lin Ruxue, while Zhao Yun stood guard at the door, though his face was flushed.

After all, he had never experienced matters between men and women.

All she knew was that her lord was quite the ladies' man, having caught the eye of the reigning princess.

"Drink! Brother Chuang, keep drinking!"

Lin Ruxue pulled Su Chuang to drink, finishing one small pot after another.

The two gradually became dizzy.

"drink…"

Su Chuang's eyes gradually turned red as he suppressed the burning desire in his heart, teetering on the verge of collapse.

A lone man and a lone woman alone in a room;

The environment is right, the atmosphere is right, the feelings are right, everything is ready.

"Brother Chuang... I still remember what you said..."

Lin Ruxue's face was flushed, her head tilted back, and her big, watery eyes looked pitifully at Su Chuang.

"Your lips are sweet, and now I want to taste them... Is that alright?"

Her eyes were already glistening with tears, and she suddenly leaned closer, her breath carrying a hint of alluring fruity fragrance.

Her fingertips were already touching Su Chuang's wrist, and the temperature was shockingly hot.

War is imminent!

"Yes, absolutely!"

Su Chuang's back tensed; he could hear his own heart pounding like a drum.

He was going all out, throwing away the last shred of reason he had left.

Life should be enjoyed while it lasts.

Besides, to die beneath the peony blossoms is to die a romantic death, and eighteen years later one will be a hero again!

"Hmm... let's close our eyes together..."

Lin Ruxue said shyly, this was also her first time, and she was full of embarrassment.

As their lips drew closer, the atmosphere grew warmer, and their faces turned increasingly red.

"My lord, the Empress is coming this way, less than a hundred paces away!"

Zhao Yun suddenly shouted loudly from outside.

He saw Zhang Yuhua approaching from afar, accompanied by some palace maids.

"what!"

The two people inside the room opened their eyes instantly and let out a scream.

"Princess! This wine...this wine is too strong!"

Su Chuang reacted quickly, immediately raising his hand and gently pushing Lin Ruxue towards the window.

He staggered backward, deliberately kicking over the wine jug and shouting at the top of his lungs.

The sound was loud enough for the person outside the door to hear.

"Quick, Brother Chuang, you guys leave through the back door."

"I'll hold off the Empress Dowager!"

Lin Ruxue didn't have time to complain and immediately made arrangements.

"Okay... alright then..."

Although Su Chuang was unwilling, he quickly led Zhao Yun out the back door.

If Empress Zhang were to witness this directly, it would be difficult to handle.

But what he didn't know was that the next time the two met would be a long time coming, and it would be another life-or-death separation!

"Brother Chuang...I love you..."

Lin Ruxue gazed at Su Chuang's retreating figure and spoke slowly.

She also knew that being deep within the palace meant she would have no worries about food or clothing.

Yet there was not a shred of freedom to speak of.

"I really want to marry you... In the next life... you must marry me..."
