Lian Erye in the Red Mansion

Princess Zhaoyang gently lifted her delicate buttocks and sat on the edge of the bathtub, looking down at Jia Lian, who was sitting inside the tub.

Her eyes held boundless tenderness and adoration.

She couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Jia Lian's face, but she was afraid of waking him up, so she didn't dare to get too close.

This was the first time she had faced Jia Lian's body so nakedly, and the first time she had been so unrestrained in front of him.

Having felt Jia Lian's features, her slender hand slid down, from his rounded shoulders and arms to his broad chest...

Finally, it paused slightly upon touching the water's surface.

After pausing for a while, she withdrew her hand and sat quietly, her eyes reflecting the image of Jia Lian's upper body, but her thoughts had already drifted far away.

Initially, she asked Jia Lian to escort her on this trip simply because she wanted to have a man she liked by her side during her final glorious moment.

By the way, let's see if she's really blinded by her own limited perspective, and why she's so bothered by a man she's only met a few times!

She even thought that perhaps she had simply been inexperienced with men like Jia Lian and had been momentarily blinded by his charm.

Perhaps by talking to Jia Lian more on the road, one will be able to see Jia Lian's flaws, or anything else that one doesn't like.

In that way, perhaps he could reduce Jia Lian to a mundane person, thus forgetting his past and then gladly taking on his own mission.

Contrary to her expectations, along the way she found that she had not only failed to transcend herself, but had become even more confused.

The man in my eyes, well, he's a bit more handsome than others, a bit more courageous, and even seems to have some literary talent.

However, such men are not uncommon, if not ubiquitous.

Why would a princess, a woman of heaven, be so devoted to a married man?

She thought about it for a long time before she finally understood a little bit.

Jia Lian seems to be unlike any other man in the world. His speech, his intellect, his knowledge, and his unique understanding of all things in the world.

And his ambition.

The more she understood Jia Lian, the clearer her vision became.

Although he was merely a subject, Jia Lian possessed a heart as proud as a mountain.

It was as if everything in the world was merely an object for his use; he could stand at the highest level and look down upon all living beings.

Including her, the princess who symbolizes power and nobility.

Although he tried to hide it.

This was something she didn't quite understand, but it fascinated her deeply.

She was now almost certain that Jia Lian was the kind of person she had imagined in her mind before she even fell in love.

It was even more perfect and vivid than I had imagined.

When traveling to various scenic spots with Jia Lian, she would often deliberately leave Jia Lian's personal guards behind.

She wanted to test whether Jia Lian also had different feelings for her. She wanted to see if this man would have the urge to do something disrespectful to her.

Unfortunately, Jia Lian was frighteningly rational.

If she hadn't occasionally caught glimpses of admiration in Jia Lian's gaze, she might have begun to doubt her own charm.

Tonight, I heard that Jia Lian was being forced to drink by the generals at Gan Ning Pass, so I specially sent someone to help Jia Lian out of the predicament.

Who knew that Jia Lian not only didn't appreciate it, but according to the returning eunuch, Jia Lian was extremely arrogant and didn't take her, the princess, seriously at all...

Although she knew the servant was exaggerating, Princess Zhaoyang was still somewhat annoyed and thought to herself, "Let him get drunk to death."

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt a sense of good fortune.

Ganning Pass was the last stop on this trip that was completely under the control of the Great Wei, and it was also the last place where she, as a princess, could fully exercise her authority as a princess.

Once she leaves Ganning Pass, only heaven knows how much autonomy this princess will have left.

Therefore, tonight seems to be the last chance to unleash all the thoughts and desires in my heart...

Therefore, she went there in person and, as scheduled, carried the drunken Jia Lian back to the palace.

At this moment, her beloved was right before her, and she was utterly powerless against him. It seemed that no one could stop her from doing whatever she wanted.

Seeing Jia Lian still with his eyes closed, Princess Zhaoyang finally couldn't resist twisting her incredibly flexible waist and lowering her head to slowly approach Jia Lian.

Without hesitation, he pressed his lips directly onto Jia Lian's...

Time seemed to stand still.

After an unknown amount of time, Princess Zhaoyang raised her head in confusion and stared blankly at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian remained unchanged, still seemingly lost in a drunken stupor.

Princess Zhaoyang blushed suddenly, stood there for a long time, finally sighed softly, and turned to leave.

The room fell silent until Jia Lian slowly opened his eyes and looked solemnly at the swaying curtain.

Two maids were ordered to enter again. They glanced at Jia Lian, who was exactly the same as when they left, even his posture hadn't changed, and felt puzzled.

The princess sent them away and stayed in this room alone for so long, and nothing really happened?

Having learned from their previous experience of almost being caught by the princess, the two maids dared not have any other thoughts and obediently served Jia Lian as he bathed.

After finishing, she tried to help Jia Lian to bed to rest, but Jia Lian suddenly woke up.

"We two servants are here to serve the general on the orders of the princess..."

Faced with Jia Lian's scrutinizing gaze, the two previously lively girls couldn't help but feel timid and hurriedly retreated to explain.

Jia Lian then calmed down, nodded, glanced at his surroundings, and stood up, saying, "Please thank the princess for me. I'm sorry for troubling her."

It is getting late. If there are no further instructions, I will take my leave.

As Jia Lian spoke, without giving the maid a chance to speak, he pushed open the door and walked out.

This place is already the center of the palace, and the main hall next to it is where the princess will stay.

Having familiarized himself with the route, Jia Lian left immediately. As soon as he stepped out of the inner courtyard, Zhang Yong and the others were indeed waiting there. Upon seeing him emerge, they all came forward to greet him.

Seeing that Jia Lian was unharmed, she was relieved and smiled knowingly.

It seems Zhao'er was right. Even if the Second Master suffers a loss in front of the Princess, it will surely be a good thing. What do they have to worry about?

He offered insincere greetings to Jia Lian, but seeing that Jia Lian said nothing and only told him to go back, his mind began to wander even further...

Inside the palace, besides the eunuchs, there were only young and beautiful palace maids and princesses. Zhao'er and the others naturally assumed that Jia Lian had been inside for half a day because he had enjoyed a wonderful time, and they admired their second master's abilities and charm.

Apart from Aqin, who disguised herself as a bodyguard and followed Jia Lian.

After helping Jia Lian to bed, Aqin decisively chased Zhao'er out and then stayed by Jia Lian's side, trying to observe whether Jia Lian had been taken advantage of by the princess and others.

Unfortunately, Jia Lian seemed unable to resist the effects of his drunkenness and fell asleep.

After thinking for a moment, she reached under the covers, ready to check it herself.

Unexpectedly, Jia Lian grabbed him and scolded him, "Don't be silly."

Seeing that Jia Lian was still awake, Aqin said coquettishly, "Master has been inside for so long, and the smell of alcohol on you is gone. You must have favored some woman and even took a bath... Waaah, Second Master is fickle. He said he didn't want anyone to serve him for the sake of the bigger picture, but it's all a lie."

Along the way, Aqin repeatedly tried to take Zhao'er's place and serve Jia Lian personally.

However, Jia Lian, concerned about the impact on the military, never allowed Aqin to take off her military uniform.

Because if he allowed this woman to seduce him, Jia Lian didn't know if he could resist.

"Nonsense, that's not true."

Jia Lian, who had been suppressing his drunkenness for a long time, was starting to lose control. He turned over, not wanting to get entangled with the little maid any longer.

"Since they don't have it, then I'll let them see for themselves. Once they see it clearly, they'll believe me..."

Knowing Jia Lian's feelings well, Aqin saw that Jia Lian had stopped moving, so she got up with a smile, bolted the door, then came back, took off her extra clothes, and carefully snuggled into Jia Lian's bed.

With a serious and responsible attitude, after confirming that Jia Lian had not been taken advantage of by other women, he rewarded Jia Lian with half a night.

Unfortunately, Jia Lian was already fast asleep.

As a result, not only did she fail to please him, but the next day, after Jia Lian got up, he also gave her a severe scolding, calling her a money-grubbing little witch who would stop at nothing to make money.
