Chapter 255: Has Your Hair Grown In Yet?
Sun Jiaojiao never expected that she would run into the Seventeenth Prince at Nanfeng Hall...
That frail little prince who had helped her out of a predicament in the palace actually had a "passion for the wind from the south"? And he was a "little shou" who liked to be 'attacked' by men?! Sun Jiaojiao was gobsmacked.
That day, she and Xiao Ba had wandered to a quiet place called "Nanfeng Hall." Sun Jiaojiao's eyes lit up. Wasn't this the place in novels where ancient men went to find other men? Without a second word, she pulled Xiao Ba inside. Who would have thought that, by sheer coincidence, she would bump into the Seventeenth Prince just as he was about to leave?
One was a prince secretly visiting a male brothel, and the other was the Crown Princess, disguised as a man, visiting a male brothel. The two exchanged a look of tacit understanding, neither daring to acknowledge the other.
"Um... you dropped something."
Suddenly, the Seventeenth Prince called out to Sun Jiaojiao weakly, his face crimson, looking just like a kind-hearted person who does a good deed without leaving their name.
"Hm?" Only then did Sun Jiaojiao notice that her handkerchief had fallen to the ground.
The Seventeenth Prince and Sun Jiaojiao bent down to pick up the handkerchief at the same time. The Seventeenth Prince took the opportunity to whisper in Sun Jiaojiao's ear, "Imperial Sister-in-law, you must keep this secret."
"Oh..."
Perhaps Sun Jiaojiao's reply was too perfunctory. As if worried, the Seventeenth Prince gritted his teeth and added, "I have no interest in the throne, and I absolutely have no disloyal intentions toward Imperial Brother. Imperial Sister-in-law, you must keep this secret for me."
Only then did Sun Jiaojiao realize that the Seventeenth Prince was the prince most valued by the Empress Dowager's faction. Whether he wanted to or not, he would be forced to compete for the throne. If a scandal like him liking men was exposed, it would be disastrous. Especially if such a weakness fell into the hands of his brother, it would be a disaster upon disaster. No wonder the Seventeenth Prince had to repeatedly urge Sun Jiaojiao to show his loyalty to the Crown Prince.
Looking at his worried and fearful expression, Sun Jiaojiao suddenly felt a pang of sympathy.
Children who grew up in the palace, regardless of whether they had ambitions, all had a hard life. The Crown Prince was like this, and so was the Seventeenth Prince.
"Hug." Sun Jiaojiao suddenly extended her arms of friendship toward the Seventeenth Prince. Facing his baffled expression, she reached out, pulled him into her arms, gave him a rub, and then let go.
Amidst the faint scent of cosmetics, the Seventeenth Prince felt a throb he had never experienced before. A certain soft piece of flesh unexpectedly hardened slightly. Fortunately, Sun Jiaojiao released him immediately, seemingly unaware of the strange change in his body.
"Don't worry. You're still a child. I wouldn't go so far as to trap you." While reassuring him, Sun Jiaojiao couldn't help but reach out and pinch the Seventeenth Prince's soft, chubby cheek.
"I'm not a child!" The Seventeenth Prince puffed up his cheeks angrily, protesting her act of taking liberties. "I've already been granted my own residence."
"Your hair hasn't even fully grown in..."
Sun Jiaojiao muttered under her breath, but who knew the Seventeenth Prince would hear this complaint? He glared and rolled his eyes at her.
"It has too grown in!"
"Pfft..." Who emphasizes that their hair has 'grown in' in front of their sister-in-law? If it weren't for the fact that this kid was fond of men, Sun Jiaojiao would have mistaken this for him flirting with her. Looking at the Seventeenth Prince's innocent and cute appearance, Sun Jiaojiao couldn't help but let her inner demon take over again, teasing him, "It really has grown in? Take off your pants and let me check."
"You're-you're a rogue!"
The Seventeenth Prince's face turned red, looking as if he had been bullied. He stomped his foot and ran off.
Luckily, this was Nanfeng Hall. When everyone saw the frail Seventeenth Prince, red-faced, being teased and fleeing, and then looked at Sun Jiaojiao, disguised as a handsome little pageboy not far away, they all understood what was going on. They laughed and cleared a path for the Seventeenth Prince.
After teasing the Seventeenth Prince, Sun Jiaojiao naturally felt refreshed and invigorated. There was a spring in her step as she walked. When she saw a few beggars on the road, she was exceptionally generous, tossing out whole ingots of silver.
