Home/ There’s A Beauty / Chapter 52 (Part 1)

The Ninth Prince changed into clean clothes, and asked someone to find a small copper basin and fill it with water and pebbles. Then he hurriedly walked back to the outer courtyard, and saw the young man sitting on the steps with his knees crossed, who then picked up a piece of dog’s tail grass and gently poked the little turtle that had retracted into its shell while mumbling something to himself.

The anxious mood of the Ninth Prince calmed down in an instant, he walked over with the copper basin filled with water, and said, “Put it in, or it will die of thirst.”

When You Shu heard that the turtle would die, he quickly threw it in the copper basin. Although he had a straight face, one could clearly see the worry in his slightly flickering eyes.

It’s really the heart of a child. The Ninth Prince sighed in his heart, and his love grew stronger. Before that, he had imagined countless times what kind of person can make Emperor Zongsheng infatuated with himself for a lifetime. Since he was three years old, he was tortured repeatedly by those desperate and painful dreams, and gradually developed a rebellious psychology.

He refused everyone’s approach, and he was unwilling to devote his energy to anything. Everything around him was a dispensable existence in his eyes, or a pastime for when he was bored. Somehow, he knew that he was waiting for something, but he resisted it. He thought, did he come into this world just to fulfill a regret? Why did someone who had been dead for more than six hundred years left these extremely painful feelings to him, yet took away the best memories?

In his dreams, throughout his whole life, he was always struggling in the despair of loss and hesitation in finding someone, but he doesn’t know why he was desperate and hesitant. For seventeen years, he finally had enough of this and wanted to live his own life.

But suddenly, You Shu appeared, like a bright star in the dark sky, like a flower blooming in the barren wilderness. Those endless tortures before have become the wind and clouds supporting the star and the oasis watering the flower. Now everything seems to have the value of existence and the meaning of rebirth.

With just one glance, he fell in love with You Shu, which was an inescapable fate. It turns out that the person loved by Emperor Zongsheng looks like this, pure and simple, eager but restrained. His eyes would shine when he looked at himself, and his skin would feel hot when he hugged him. He is the treasure of Emperor Zongsheng, so he is destined to be his treasure.

The Ninth Prince calmed down his beating heart, and slowly let out a breath. Fortunately, he survived those torturous years and waited for the sweetness to come.

On the other hand, You Shu didn’t know that the master had already identified himself, and he was still struggling with how to make it up for the other party. He held the copper basin in his arms, and accidentally bumped it against the bamboo tube in front of his chest. Then he remembered that he had found a gift for his master, so he quickly untied it and handed it over.

Seeing the young man’s slightly upturned face, bright eyes, and flattering smile like a puppy, the Ninth Prince’s heart itched. He took the bamboo tube with a suppressed smile and asked, “What is this?”

“This is a painting by the unknown layman. I hope you like it.” You Shu rubbed his hands with a worried expression.

The Ninth Prince breathed slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, “Yesterday, you learned that I like the paintings of the unknown layman, so today you went to buy them for me on purpose?” With this intention alone, he was already very happy and satisfied.

You Shu would not lie, so he blushed and nodded.

The Ninth Prince’s fingertips suddenly exerted force, and he almost crushed the bamboo tube and the painting together. Damn it, he thought that You Shu in the dream was enough to confuse him, but facing him in reality, it was even more difficult to restrain himself than in the dream. He doesn’t even need to make a seductive gesture, nor does he need to make beautiful moans. As long as he just stands in front of him, with a blushing face, blinking his eyes, he can make his emotions surge.

In the dream he belonged to Emperor Zongsheng, but in reality, he completely belonged to himself, and the feeling of being tempted was even stronger. As long as he thought that You Shu, like himself, was the reincarnation of someone six hundred years ago, and had an unrequited love with his so-called other self, he felt extremely jealous.

However, that unlucky ghost is already dead. He is still a lot less fortunate than himself, so there is no need to worry about it anymore. Thinking about it this way, the Ninth Prince suppressed the sourness in his heart and quickly opened the bamboo tube.

You Shu didn’t know if the painting was genuine or not, so he said a little uneasy, “Is this painting authentic? If not, I’ll look for it again. Whatever you want, I can find it for you.” With the ability to control ghosts, he can find anything.

The Ninth Prince had already made up his mind that whether the painting was genuine or not, he would nod in recognition, and he would also act as if he couldn’t put it down, and show fondness for it. What he cares about now is not the authenticity of the painting, but You Shu’s intention. But what surprised him was that this painting was actually one of the few genuine works that had been passed down among the people, but the depiction in the painting was so unique that he didn’t know how to evaluate it.

Seeing that His Highness had not spoken for a long time, Xue Wangjing and others leaned over to look, and then their faces twisted.

There are two men on a swing, one sitting between the legs of the other, with very joyful expressions. After more than 600 years, the ink has faded to some extent, and many details have become blurred. However, as long as you have similar experiences, one can already guess what they were doing from their sitting posture depicted in the painting.

The Ninth Prince has never been involved in the affairs of men and women, but he knows everything one should know. He looked at the painting for a while, and then at You Shu with a complicated expression. Did You Shu deliberately found an erotic picture to seduce him, but is it possible? He probably doesn’t know the theme of the painting, right?

Knowing that he shouldn’t offend His Highness’s sweetheart, Xue Wangjing still couldn’t help it, and asked with a suppressed smile, “You Shu, do you know what this painting is about?”

“Spring Play.” You Shu pointed to the place where the signature was signed, and explained, “Spring has arrived, and the weather is getting warmer, the two of them are playing on the swing in the courtyard.” As for their intimate sitting posture, he doesn’t think there is anything wrong with it, when he was still young, the master used to hug him and play like this.

“Yes, spring is here, it’s time to play.” Xue Wangjing clutched his stomach, shrugged his shoulders, and couldn’t help but laugh until he got internal injuries. Mother, how could such an innocent person go to Yanliu Lane? He probably doesn’t even know what it feels like to be with a woman, does he? As soon as he came to Shangjing, he was caught by the devil king of the world, it’s really unlucky!

The Ninth Prince was also trying hard to suppress his smile. He pressed his fist to his lips, coughing repeatedly until his face turned red. He put his hands on the young man’s shoulders, and said sincerely, “I really like the spring play in the painting very much, let’s go to play on the swing someday, okay?”

Xue Wangjing immediately looked at His Highness with admiration. Only he could say such obscene words with such an upright expression.

You Shu nodded immediately, and added, “But I have to sit on it. I’m not strong enough to hold you, I am afraid you will fall.”

The one above is obviously the recipient. Didn’t you see that he hugged the neck of the person below him tightly with both hands, and his buttocks were also raised very high? It’s good for You Shu not to say this, Xue Wangjing was already trying hard to suppress his laughter, and when he heard this, he burst out with puffing noises, as if he was suffering from asthma. The commander of the guards, who had always been extremely restrained, also couldn’t hold back anymore, and turned his head slightly.

The Ninth Prince didn’t find it ridiculous at all, he could already imagine the scene with just one sentence. The swing was rippling, and there was You Shu in his arms, breathing hot air from the tip of his nose, and making cute moans from his small mouth into his ears, burning a piece of flesh on his neck red, it must have been so beautiful.

Feeling his body reacting, the Ninth Prince didn’t dare to think about it anymore, and quickly rolled up the painting and stuffed it into the bamboo tube, and reiterated, “I like this picture very much. We must play together on a swing someday.”

“Of course.” You Shu took the initiative to grab a corner of his master’s clothes, and sold himself in a daze.

The two looked at each other, and giggled silently, both feeling happy and satisfied, and laughed for a quarter of an hour before leaving together. When they left the gate, they saw many guards with swords standing outside, and two of them were still holding Zhao Yusong tightly.

Zhao Yusong saw that the Ninth Prince stayed inside for less than half an hour, and thought that his plan had succeeded. Although he was worried that His Highness would be angry with him, but with the protection of his old man, his life would not be in danger. After all, You Shu came here with his own legs, who can force him? Could he still knock You Shu out and throw him on a prostitute’s bed?

This kind of thing is groundbreaking, and he shouldn’t have to bear the blame for it. Besides, His Highness Ninth Prince had already killed someone, so he must have hated him to the bone, so naturally he wouldn’t think about it for too long. Based on His Highness’s character of not caring about anything, within half a month, he would forget about You Shu, while he himself was already engaged to Princess Mingzhu, so sooner or later he would be the imperial son-in-law, and his future would not be greatly affected.

Because he held the trump card of Princess Mingzhu, Zhao Yusong gradually calmed down, and the idea of waiting for a good show had overwhelmed his previous fear. However, he never expected that You Shu not only came out completely unscathed, but was also tightly held in the arms of the Ninth Prince in a very intimate manner.

The two of them would look at each other for a while, and laugh foolishly, like any other young man in love.

When he walked past Zhao Yusong, You Shu glanced at him indifferently, not even curious why he was caught and gagged by the guards, let alone pleading for mercy. He only cares about the people he should care about. The Ninth Prince had a large number of subordinates, so he waved his hand to let the guards release him.

Zhao Yulin, who was covering his face and following behind, was quite angry, he grabbed Zhao Yusong, and cursed in a low voice, “What a bastard you are! You set me up to frame You Shu! Do you know that I was almost skinned by His Highness? I know you have a deep friendship with His Highness, regardless of it I am not done with you! I will deal with you in the future!” Zhao Yulin pushed him away, and limped towards home, but suddenly turned back as if he remembered something, and sneaked into the green wax building.

Zhao Yusong was not interested in the matter of the second cousin, he rubbed the red marks on his neck with a solemn expression. He more or less knew about the temper of the Ninth Prince. If he were to get furious with himself today, it would be easy to handle. If he is willing to argue with you, it means that he still values you. But if he doesn’t even bother to say a word, it means that he has completely abandoned you.

The question now is, what should he do with himself? Zhao Yusong didn’t know what to do, so he hired a carriage and hurried home to ask his father for advice, hoping that there was still room for redemption.
