Ok. In other words, this auntie is the manager of the Crown Prince’s harem. What an interesting job to have. If I must live here or find a way out as fast as possible, it will be extremely important to remain on Chen’s good side.
“It is an honor to meet you…umm…Miss Chen…” I replied with the warmest smile I could muster.“You can call me Auntie Chen. Everyone, please leave us alone for a moment,” Auntie Chen replied before turning to wave off the others in the room.With swift bows they turned to leave the room, quietly closing the door behind them. Suddenly, I was left alone with Auntie Chen. I breathed in deeply a few times to calm my own heat beat. For some reason, I had a very gad feeling about this and the atmosphere is making me nervous. I looked down to see that my hand were balled together and my palms were sweating slightly.“There is no need to be nervous. I am here to guide and prepare“Lastly, here is a small gift for you,” Auntie Chen said as she handed me a small bottle containing some liquid inside. “And this is…?” I asked as I hesitantly took the bottle from her hand. “This is a special oil that will enhance his pleasure and lessen the pain for you upon his entry into your love flower. Let me help you apply it in between your legs…” Auntie Chen calmly stated like this was and probably is the norm. Ok, so this thing oil is like lubrication. Not like I will be needing such thing because I am not going to engage in any sexual activities with Ren tonight or any other night. Auntie Chen approached me, and I recalled the rest of her words from just now. No! “No no no…I can apply the oil myself. Thank you…like really, thank you…” I quickly protested before this mad old woman proceeded with spreading my leg to apply the oil to my private area. This is crazy.
“Fine,” I replied simply. “I see. Well, do you know why you’re here with me tonight?” Ren asked in a light tone, his eyes never leaving my face. Ren has not eaten at all. Clearly food was not on his mind right now. “Yes. I know why I’m supposed to be with you tonight…but…I don’t know why it has to be me,” I replied honestly. Out of all those women, why must it be me? “Good question. To be honest, it doesn’t matter to me who is sitting opposite me right now. It could be you…or it could be any other woman,” Ren replied emotionlessly. “Then…can you please just send me back home? Please” I pleaded with some hope in my voice. If he has no interest in me, and I didn’t think he did, then I can go, right? “That’s not entirely for me to decide. Just to cure you a bit of your curiosity. I didn’t pick you or anything like that. Th
His lips feels so hot against mine and I felt my body feel weaker as he continued kissing me. His hand dipping lower from my waist to caress my hips. I heard myself let out a sigh, followed by a soft moan. “No…crown prince…” I protested weakly in between our kisses as my mind started feeling hazy. “Ren…call me Ren,” Ren whispered seductively as he changed the angle of our kiss. Using this opportunity, Ren slowly slipped his wet tongue in between my slightly parted lips. I felt my body shudder when I felt his warm tongue enter my mouth and meeting my own. I’ve never kissed man before and this new sensation was making me feel tingly inside. I heard myself moan several times when Ren’s tongue grinded against my own. When Ren’s lips finally parted from mine, I felt so lightheaded dthat I could barely keep standing. Sensing this, Ren supported my body with his arms around me as I leaned on him. I was p
“You’ll kill me? I guess dying at a beautiful woman’s hand is not such a bad option, after all. Shall I help you out then?” Ren asked in a solemn voice. I couldn’t tell if he was joking or serious. Glancing away from me and at the knife held close to the side of his neck, Ren slowly moved his neck closer to the knife until his skin grazed the sharp edge of the knife. Smiling at me, he pushed his neck slightly harder against the knife and to my absolute shock, red blood started oozing out from his neck. Ren…he cut himself on purpose?! Why?!“No! Ren!” I screamed at him in shock as I let go of the knife. He’s bleeding. Almost by instinct, I grabbed the long sleeve of my robe and pressed it firmly against his wound in an attempt to stop the bleeding. This is bad, I don’t know if the wound is deep or not but a wound to the neck can be dangerous. He needs to be treated as soon as possible. “Ren&hell
“There’s no need for you to be so nervous. Just act natural and follow my lead,” Ren said reassuringly as he smiled brightly at me and took my hand in his. Today is the start of our pretend relationship between crown prince and his favorite concubine. Easy for him to say, how can I possibly act natural in this situation. His hand holding mine felt hot and my palm feel sweaty from nervousness. “Easy for you to say. I’ve never dated anyone before, I don’t know how to act all lovey-dovey…” I mumbled to myself. “Just hold my hand, smile sweetly at me, talk to me in a sweet voice and just follow my lead. If people ask questions, I’ll help you answer them. So just smile and keep your head up, ok?” Ren instructed confidently. At a loss for words, I just nodded. After the maids dressed me up fitting of my new position, we were ready to leave the White Lotus palace to meet the emperor at the main
“Why don’t you two join us for lunch later today?” Prince Kin asked invitingly. He seemed like a nice guy. I was about to open my mouth to answer him when Ren cut in with a cold voice. “Maybe another day. Excuse us,” Ren rejected Prince Kin’s offer without a second thought. Turning to address the emperor and the empress, he bowed, and I quickly did the same. “Wait, Ren!” the emperor called out behind us. Breathing out a silent sigh, Ren slowly turned back to face his father. “Yes, Father?” Ren asked, trying his best to hide his annoyance. “I have arranged a trip for you and Lady White Lotus to the holiday palace in Luwin province. It is not far from here but you two can relax and enjoy the hot springs there. Please make sure you leave on holiday together tomorrow. I will not expect you to be back for three days. That is all,” the emperor declared. It was clear from his tone th
I was excited and nervous for the trip that I just couldn’t sleep. After tossing and turning in bed for what seemed like an eternity, I simply gave up on the idea of sleep and decided to take a stroll in the garden instead. The palace was quite dark and dead quiet since it was late at night and the only ones awake were probably the guards that were on duty guarding the wall and the entrance. I slipped slowly outside and along the walkway leading to the garden. Since I couldn’t sleep anyways, I might as well enjoy some peace and quiet out in the garden where the lotuses were. I was able to make my way there without getting lost in the dark and also without being spotted. I sat down next to the lake as I watched the moon reflecting off its surface. Tonight, was a full moon and the moonlight provided enough light for me to see quite clearly in the garden. I sat there lost in thought as I thought about my hometown and uncle and auntie. I wonder how they were hold
“Rin, take my hand. Then step one foot on here and I’ll pull you up,” Ren instructed sounding a little more patient than before. “Ok…” I said as I nodded up at him. The horse was much taller than I had initially thought, now that I was standing right at its side. With some struggling and effort on Ren’s side of pulling me up, I managed to sit astride the horse in front of Ren. I felt my face flooded with warmth when I realized how close he was to me on the cramped saddle. I could feel his body press against the whole length of my back as he leaned forward holding onto the reins of the horse. Don’t tell me we’ll be pressed up close to each other like this all the way…Suddenly I felt Ren’s arm tightly wrap around my waist, pulling me even tighter to his firm body. “I…I can sit just fine…” I started saying. “I wouldn’t be too sure if I were you,&
