"Hui'er, come and try the cooking of the Prince's chef."

As Xia Yuxuan spoke, he placed a fish lip of an unknown fish into Hui's bowl and said with concern, "Hui'er is injured and should eat more to recover."

"No, I can do it myself." Hui tried to stop Xia Yuxuan.

But Xia Yuxuan said somewhat defiantly, "Is Hui'er still angry with me?"

Xia Yuxuan was just asking casually, but Hui heard it as: "Are you trying to refuse a toast and then suffer the consequences?"

Immediately, Hui replied very obediently, "Your Highness, Hui, Hui'er didn't mean that. We just didn't dare to trouble Your Highness."

After saying that, to show that she wasn't angry with him, Hui obediently bit the fish lip that Xia Yuxuan had given her, not daring to disobey him any further.

One bite and your mouth is filled with fragrance. The fish lips may look oily, but they are actually oily but not greasy. In particular, the juice that seeps out inside is fresh, juicy and delicious, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

Chapter 208 Fei Yan

Seeing the expression on Hui's face, Xia Yuxuan said, "How about it? Does the Yanjiang sturgeon's lips suit Hui'er's taste?"

Hui couldn't help but praise, "Mmm, it's delicious."

"I'm glad you like it. Come on, Hui'er, eat more."

After saying that, he gave Hui a few more fish lips.

"How badly is Hui'er injured?"

Hui was a little overwhelmed by Xia Yuxuan's enthusiasm. Although she didn't know why he had changed his personality, she wanted to hate this feeling of being treated so gently, but she couldn't bring herself to hate it.

Hui replied softly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Hui and Hui'er are fine."

No matter how many times she was called "Hui'er," Hui always felt that the name was too embarrassing, especially when she called herself that. She felt extremely ashamed. However, since Xia Yuxuan liked it, Hui had no choice but to endure the embarrassment and call herself that.

Upon hearing Hui's words, Xia Yuxuan put on a stern face and said unhappily, "What did Hui call me?"

"Huh?" Hui couldn't understand what Xia Yuxuan was up to again, but she still answered with a lot of questions in her mind, "It's... Your Highness."

"Don't call me Your Highness. I don't want to be as distant as ordinary people. My name is Yu Xuan. Please call me that."

"This..." Hui tried calling out softly, "Yu Xuan?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuxuan said unsatisfiedly, "Not enough."

Hui's face flushed slightly, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she racked her brains for a long time before finally saying shyly, "Brother Xuan!"

This was how Nangong Bingqing addressed Xia Wuwei in Dong'er's memory. It didn't seem like a big deal to Dong'er, but now that Hui herself was addressing Xia Yuxuan this way, she felt incredibly ashamed.

But to Xia Yuxuan, it sounded incredibly beautiful. A beautiful woman's shy voice always evoked endless fantasies in men, and Xia Yuxuan was no exception.

Xia Yuxuan's eyebrows twitched, his face full of joy, and he couldn't help but pull Hui into his arms. The two sat there intimately like that.

Hui was startled by Xia Yuxuan's sudden action. Her body instinctively wanted to resist, but she immediately thought of Xia Yuxuan's violent and fierce appearance and became as obedient as a lamb, without any resistance, and leaned against Xia Yuxuan's chest.

Hui felt that her nose was filled with a scent similar to ambergris emanating from Xia Yuxuan. The scent was warm and calming, making Hui feel a little dizzy and intoxicated. Her body, which had been tense due to nervousness, relaxed a lot.

Xia Yuxuan felt the soft body in his arms and smelled the delicate fragrance emanating from Hui's body. He said with satisfaction, "Hmm, very good. Hui'er, remember this. Call me that from now on."

Finally, Xia Yuxuan added, "If Hui'er ever calls me by the wrong name, well, then we'll deal with it according to family rules."

After saying that, Xia Yuxuan looked at Hui with a mocking expression.

Hui blushed deeply under Xia Yuxuan's gaze. She knew without a doubt that the family rules Xia Yuxuan mentioned were not proper things. Having been in the backyard of the Prince's mansion for so long, Hui roughly understood what kind of place this was.

To put it seriously, this is the residence of the women of the Prince's mansion. To put it bluntly, this is where Xia Yuxuan seeks pleasure. How to please Xia Yuxuan can be seen from the dazzling array of beauties here and their attire.

Naturally, the so-called "family rules" here are probably not anything serious.

Hui Lian had no intention of exploring further, and simply answered Xia Yuxuan very obediently, "Brother Xuan, Hui'er remembers."

Afterwards, Xia Yuxuan and Hui began to eat.

Throughout the process, Xia Yuxuan continued to inquire about Hui's condition with concern.

"Are you settling in well at Xunyan Pavilion?"

"Habit."

"How comfortable are Ziyan and Qiyue? If you don't like them, we can change them."

Ziyan and Qiyue, who were standing behind Hui, were maids assigned to Hui by Xia Yuxuan, so they had not obeyed Xia Yuxuan's orders to go down earlier. Now, when they heard Xia Yuxuan's words, a look of panic flashed across their faces.

However, Hui said, "They are very good."

"I'm glad you like it."

After Xia Yuxuan finished speaking, Ziyan and Qiyue exchanged a quick glance, both seeing the joy of surviving a disaster in each other's eyes.

Dinner took place amidst Xia Yuxuan's questioning.

At first, Hui wasn't used to Xia Yuxuan's gentleness, but seeing Xia Yuxuan's persistent gentleness, Hui became a little bolder and finished the meal feeling quite full.

After the meal.

Hui was very nervous because she didn't know what would happen next. No, Hui actually knew what would happen next.

In the palace, after the concubine and Xia Wuwei had dinner together, preparations for the concubine's night with the emperor would begin.

Although Xia Yuxuan said he would cherish her and not treat her roughly, in the eyes of these men, especially the high-ranking officials, "favoring" a woman was the greatest act of love.

What if Xia Yuxuan asks me to serve him in bed later?

Hui thought nervously, but quickly realized: 'Heh, as if she could refuse Xia Yuxuan if he wanted it.'

Is my virginity going to be lost tonight?

At this moment, Hui looked up at Xia Yuxuan again. It has to be said that Xia Yuxuan was very attractive to women as a man. Not only was he of high status as a royal prince, but he also inherited the handsome and dashing appearance that the Xia royal family had always had. In addition, he was a first-class martial artist, and his wisdom, while not unparalleled in history, was by no means stupid.

In summary, this is a true high-achieving, rich, and handsome man, and one of the very best among them.

'But even so—'

Hui wanted to give herself a reason to refuse, but after thinking it over, she finally thought: 'It seems that being Xia Yuxuan's woman isn't so bad, and he seems to really like me. Asking him for a higher status later wouldn't be so difficult to accept.'

"As for his many women, don't be ridiculous. This is ancient times. Which man with even a little status and talent didn't have multiple wives and concubines? Of course, there are men willing to give up multiple wives and concubines for you, but how do you find that person? Even if you find him, how can you be sure he's telling the truth? And even if he is telling the truth, how can you be sure he won't go back on his word later…?"

The more Hui thought about it, the more she felt that being Xia Yuxuan's woman was a very good choice.

'No, no, no, I'm the one who should reject him, how can I convince myself first! No, I need to think about Xia Yuxuan's shortcomings.'

What are Xia Yuxuan's shortcomings?

Hui watched as Xia Yuxuan tried to find fault with him.

'This guy, this guy…' Hui thought and thought, but couldn't seem to find anything about Xia Yuxuan that was unacceptable.

"Hui'er, what's wrong?" Xia Yuxuan asked, seeing Hui looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Ah, no, it's nothing. It's just... I've eaten, so I'll be leaving now."

"Leave? Oh—, Hui'er probably doesn't know what this Scarlet Smoke Palace is for."

At this point, Xia Yuxuan looked at Hui's gradually pale face with amusement. He didn't know if it was a perverse sense of humor, but he just liked to see Hui clearly unwilling but not daring to disobey him, and her conflicted expression was simply irresistible.

Xia Yuxuan instructed Ziyan, who was standing to the side, "Ziyan, explain this properly to your wife."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ziyan took the order and explained to Hui, "Madam, Feiyan is taken from 'Dreaming of Feiyan, the night is late,' meaning 'bedroom,' which is where the prince rests at night and where the women in the back courtyard serve him."

After Ziyan finished speaking, Hui felt a chill in her heart and sighed, "As expected, what's meant to happen will happen."

For some reason, Hui felt that besides reluctance and extreme nervousness, there was also a strange sense of anticipation...

Chapter 209 The Person in My Heart

Right after this strange feeling arose.

Hui suddenly felt a piercing pain in her chest. The pain was very sharp, very deep, and very short-lived.

So much so that Hui was unsure whether this was an illusion.

However, at this moment, a blurry figure appeared in Hui's mind.

The figure was very blurry, and I couldn't make out his appearance, but judging from his height and build, he should be a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old. My hazy memories were full of scenes of being with this boy. Judging from some intimate actions we had done before, I knew that we were not relatives, but lovers or even husband and wife, because I remembered that I had been intimate with him, and more than once.

Who is this person?

Why does thinking about him cause me so much pain?

Hui felt an urgency, wanting to try to clear away the fog in her memory and see the person's face clearly.

Just as they were about to take action,

"Hui'er, why are you crying? Are you scared? Don't worry, I will be gentle!"

Xia Yuxuan's gentle voice interrupted the image in Hui's mind.

"Huh? Crying!!"

Hui asked in confusion, 'Did I cry?'

Reflexively, I ran my slender, white fingers across my eyes, and sure enough, they touched a wet patch. As I slid them down my cheeks, I realized that I was already in tears without even noticing.

'Hmm, why am I crying?'

Is it because of that person in my memory?

Who is that person? Why, why can't I remember? Why, why, why...?

Although Hui still couldn't recall any information about that person.

However, Hui also realized one thing: she was not alone; she belonged to someone else, to the boy in her memory, and she could not betray that person.

"Hui'er, are you alright?"

As Xia Yuxuan spoke, he wanted to go forward and check on Hui's condition, because Hui had been perfectly fine, but suddenly she had become a completely different person, filled with a sense of utter despair.
