Shameless Imperial Family! (Please Vote and Tip)

Qingya Courtyard.

In the central hall of the pavilion, several alluring women clad in scant garments performed seductive dances. Laughter and merriment filled the surroundings, making the place seem like a heavenly paradise.

At one of the private tables, Su Xian sat with Qian Renxue, quietly watching the dancing.

Shameless!

Watching the women around them flaunt themselves and fawn for favor, Qian Renxue felt nothing but disgust.

As expected, all men are lechers!

As she looked at Su Xian, her gaze became somewhat contemptuous, and the last trace of goodwill in her heart vanished completely.

A prince like this is useless alive. I might as well take advantage of him myself!

"Why are you glaring at me?!"

Seeing Qian Renxue looking both shy and angry, Su Xian raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion.

Damn it!

I'm not here to visit prostitutes. I'm here to save fallen maidens!

Even if I did come, I'd come secretly!

Who the hell openly brings his own wife along? Isn't that just asking to die?!

And Su Xian had always been upright and honorable!

"Didn't you say you wanted to marry me? Why did you bring me to a place like this?!" Qian Renxue complained.

Since she was currently maintaining her disguise, even though she was angry, Qian Renxue restrained herself.

Rather than looking furious, she looked like she had been treated unfairly and was hurt and aggrieved. With her brows furrowed, she appeared weak and helpless, just like a vulnerable young woman.

"This is my first time here too. I just brought you along so you could see the place. That way, if I ever come here someday, you'll at least know the way when you come to drag me home," Su Xian said with a smile.

He had only come here to have a look. It was definitely not because he craved these women's bodies!

That was right!

Absolutely not!!

"You..."

Though she knew Su Xian was deliberately teasing her, Qian Renxue still blushed at his last remark, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Those words were far too suggestive, more like flirtatious banter, and she could barely handle it.

At the same time, Qian Renxue felt lost. The turmoil in her heart left her unsure how to proceed.

She could feel that Su Xian truly intended to marry her and treated her as though she were already his wife.

Yet she was a spy from Spirit Hall, sent to replace him!

Would I really... kill this man someday?

Kill my fiancé, perhaps even my husband?

A chill instantly swept through her limbs and bones, and Qian Renxue could not help shivering.

"Are you cold?"

Seeing Qian Renxue trembling, Su Xian raised an eyebrow. Then he took off his snow-white brocade outer robe and draped it over her delicate body.

Warmth washed over her, easing some of the cold in her heart. Qian Renxue looked at Su Xian with her large eyes, her expression impossibly complicated.

Silent, Qian Renxue lowered her head and hugged her knees, curling herself into a ball as though only this could let her cast everything aside and think of nothing.

The road to winning over a beauty is long and arduous!

Seeing Qian Renxue like this, Su Xian could not help sighing inwardly.

From the look in her eyes just now, he had only seen confusion, not any intention of giving up.

Xue Qinghe had kept her as a Maid for several years. He must have treated her well.

And yet... hadn't he still been sent to heaven?

Qian Renxue's confusion existed only because he wanted to marry her, which was why she was conflicted.

And that...

Was also his best opening!

Bibi Dong's attitude toward Qian Renxue was colder than frost, so the latter cherished familial affection and emotional bonds all the more.

And that was his chance!!

Wahaha...

The Sweet Wife Raising Chronicle officially begins today!

Make sure you have your peanuts, melon seeds, and drinks ready...

Tap, tap, tap...

Just as Su Xian was about to order some food for Qian Renxue to try, heavy footsteps suddenly rang out through Qingya Courtyard.

Silver-armored heavy infantry, the Imperial Guard!

Su Xian's pupils suddenly contracted.

Damn!

Don't tell me the old man came here to catch me!

Fuck!

Doesn't the Imperial Family care about its reputation?

With such a huge spectacle, aren't they afraid people will find out I came here?

You people have no shame, but I do!!

Pah!

"Wifey, we need to run. My Old Dad sent people to arrest me."

After saying this to Qian Renxue, Su Xian directly swept her into his arms amid her cry of surprise.

Crash!

Snow-white wings unfurled from his back in an instant. Su Xian smashed through the window and prepared to flee.

Ideals were full, but reality was painfully thin!

"Commander Yu, you're here too!"

Seeing the burly man blocking his path, Su Xian awkwardly greeted him.

As for continuing to flee, the thought never even crossed his mind.

The man before him was the commander of the Royal Guard, a Soul Douluo-level expert. Unless Su Xian planned to fight him in Heaven Dou City, he might as well give up and go to sleep.

"His Majesty has ordered that the First Prince be brought back. If you refuse, I am authorized to take you by force. First Prince, please do not make things difficult for this subject."

Yu Qianxing gave Su Xian a slight bow, his voice icy. In an instant, a chilling killing intent swept toward him.

"Not difficult! Not difficult at all!"

"I was just about to see Imperial Father anyway. I was in a hurry, so I took a shortcut."

Su Xian hurriedly waved his hands, smiling with an innocent expression.

A wise man submitted to circumstances. He was merely following his heart, not admitting defeat!

Qian Renxue: ...

Yu Qianxing: ...

Since when did taking a shortcut mean jumping out a window?!

"First Prince, please."

Watching Xue Qinghe's unrestrained behavior and complete lack of royal bearing, Yu Qianxing visibly frowned before extending a hand in invitation.

"Go back to the residence and wait for me. I'll be back soon."

Reluctantly setting Qian Renxue down, Su Xian smiled gently and tidied her disheveled hair.

"You really are the First Prince?!"

Finally coming back to her senses, Qian Renxue covered her small mouth and feigned shock.

Su Xian: ...

That was a bit much!!

Whether I'm the First Prince or not, don't you fucking know already?!

Su Xian curled his lips but did not expose her. He turned to Yu Qianxing and said in an unquestionable tone:

"Commander Yu, this is the future Imperial Prince Consort. Please send someone to escort her back to the residence."

Imperial Prince Consort?

Yu Qianxing's pupils shrank. He gave Qian Renxue a deep look before quickly agreeing.

"I'm leaving. Wait for me at home."

Smiling, Su Xian ruffled Qian Renxue's head before heading toward the Imperial Palace. Qian Renxue stood stunned for a moment, then departed under the Guard's escort.

After walking for a while, Su Xian suddenly spotted a flower shop and stopped. Afraid that Su Xian might run away, Yu Qianxing hurriedly followed him.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any flowers with thorns?" Su Xian asked.

"Reporting to the First Prince, flowers with thorns have not been trimmed and are unsuitable as gifts," the shopkeeper replied nervously.

"Bring them out for me to see." Su Xian waved his hand.

The shopkeeper did not dare delay. He hurriedly brought out several potted flowering plants from the back, their long stems indeed covered in endless thorns...

"Uh..."

Su Xian raised an eyebrow and immediately abandoned the idea of making a groveling apology and playing the pity card.

That would hurt like hell to carry on his back!

Can't afford to provoke that! Can't afford to provoke that!!

"I've changed my mind. Bring out plants without thorns."

"And send some to my residence as well. Say they're a gift from me to the Imperial Prince Consort."

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll go right away!"
