Li Youlan blushed slightly, gently bit her lip, and looked at Dongfang Heng with a shy and timid expression: "I have found the man I like, it is Prince An."
Dongfang Heng glanced coldly at Li Youlan and mocked mercilessly, "I have no interest in shameless people."
Li Youlan walked slowly, her bright red inner garment sliding down her arm to reveal her smooth, alabaster arms. She said proudly, "Prince An is the God of War of Azure Flame and the most handsome man. Naturally, his standards for women are also very high. I believe I can meet the Prince's standards."
A bright red bodice tightly wrapped around her snow-white breasts and the beautiful spring scenery of her upper body, while she wore only thin fur trousers on her lower body, revealing her slender and exquisite figure that made the blood boil.
She was confident that no man could resist the allure of her most prized possession: her beautiful body.
Dongfang Heng stood quietly, without saying a word. His deep eyes were filled with gloom, and the chilling aura surrounding him almost froze people.
The overwhelming pressure was so great that Li Youlan was startled and dared not take another step forward. Shen Lixue's clothes were also becoming tighter, and through her figure, she could clearly guess that Shen Lixue's figure was not much better than hers. How could Dongfang Heng not be interested in her body?
Her pride as the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family, coupled with her inherent competitiveness, spurred her to not back down and decide to take another step forward: "Your Highness, it's just you and me here. This is a beautiful time, not to be missed. Look at me carefully; my figure and appearance are no less than Shen Lixue's. She's pregnant and can no longer serve you, but I can..."
Dongfang Heng suddenly turned around, staring at her coldly without saying a word. The air around them seemed to drop instantly, and a sharp, cold light flashed deep within his obsidian-like eyes, like millennia-old ice that instantly froze anyone who looked at him.
Li Youlan shivered and lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze. Was Dongfang Heng angry? Had she angered him? The Azure Flame War God was of noble status and arrogant nature; if he had been schemed against, he would surely be furious.
But she had already laid her cards on the table with him. If something didn't happen and she didn't cling to him, given his cold and disgusted attitude towards her, she would never be able to get close to him again in this lifetime.
After much deliberation, she overcame her reason. Things had come to this point, and there was no turning back. As long as she and Dongfang Heng got together, he would be hers, and she could rightfully stay by his side. Then she could slowly devise a plan to gain his care and affection.
She was the legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official, possessing a slender figure and beautiful appearance that ordinary women could not match, and she was confident in herself.
Her fair hand reached behind her back and gently untied the strap of her bodice. The bright red bodice fluttered to the ground, and her red fur trousers were also taken off. The woman's beautiful body was displayed before Dongfang Heng without any omissions. Her fair skin was as smooth as cream, and her exquisite figure was incomparably beautiful, arousing fantasies. She was no less beautiful than Shen Lixue.
Dongfang Heng caught a glimpse of the delicate young girl's body out of the corner of his eye. His sharp eyes showed nothing, and his brows furrowed slightly as he immediately turned his head away: "You look disgusting right now!"
Li Youlan's figure was almost identical to Shen Lixue's. When he saw Shen Lixue's body, he was only thinking about cherishing her, but when he saw Li Youlan, he had no interest at all, and a wave of nausea rose in his chest.
"You..." Li Youlan was furious. How many people in the capital could compare to her looks and figure? Even the young masters of noble families would be unable to resist and would want to pamper her. But Dongfang Heng actually criticized her as worthless.
Does he hate her? She'll just have to get close to him and make him fall for her!
Li Youlan's anger surged. Naked, she strode towards Dongfang Heng, her clear voice carrying anger and threat, echoing coldly in the room:
"Dongfang Heng, let me tell you the truth: you won't be leaving this room. The people attending the palace banquet will be back soon. Even if you don't touch me, if people see us so intimately close together, you'll be branded as having forced the Princess Consort of Zhan. You might as well consummate your marriage with me; then you won't be branded for nothing..."
Dongfang Heng's sharp gaze suddenly shot towards Li Youlan, and under her frightened gaze, he slowly spoke: "This king is not one to obediently wait for death, Zimo."
"Yes!" Zi Mo, dressed in black, appeared out of thin air and swept away Li Youlan's clothes that she had taken off on the ground with a wave of his hand.
Besides Prince An, there was another man in the bridal chamber! What's going on? What's going on?
Li Youlan's beautiful eyes widened in shock, which was beyond words. She had been seen naked by other men: "Ahhh..." She tightly covered her chest with her arms, her beautiful eyes filled with terror. She screamed and ran to the wardrobe to get some clothes to wear.
Unexpectedly, four or five figures in black suddenly appeared, pushed her aside, and swiftly took all the clothes from the closet, leaving not even a silk handkerchief behind.
"Ahhh!" Caught off guard, Li Youlan was pushed back several steps before she could regain her footing. The closet was empty. Her eyes darted around, and she screamed loudly as she rushed to the bed, trying to cover her naked body with the blanket.
Unexpectedly, another guard appeared, waved his hand and took away the brocade quilt, sheets and curtains from the bed, leaving only an empty bed by the wall.
The guards took away all the cloth items that could cover her body. Although there were many furnishings in the room, they were all tables, chairs, benches, porcelain vases, which could not cover her naked body at all. Li Youlan was furious and wanted to cry but had no tears.
They deliberately wanted to embarrass her! How despicable!
Slow yet hurried footsteps sounded outside, followed by the voices of young men: "Isn't it inappropriate to be making a ruckus in the bridal chamber now?"
“The palace banquet won’t start until later. Let’s have some fun first. After the banquet, when we’re all drunk, we can go straight back to our residences to rest. Why bother with wedding night festivities?” one person objected.
“Exactly, a bit of noise makes it more lively…” one person agreed.
"This is the Princess Consort of Prince Zhan. Let's all be mindful of our boundaries and not go too far..."
"We know, we know..." the crowd echoed in agreement.
More men are coming, and she's completely naked. What should she do? What should she do?
Li Youlan panicked, her slender body trembling slightly. Her eyes lit up when she saw Dongfang Heng standing at the door. She threw herself at him and blamed everything on him. Hehe, what a golden opportunity!
Having made up her mind, Li Youlan's eyes darkened, and she instantly appeared in front of Dongfang Heng, reaching out to grab his cloak, wanting to burrow into his arms to hide her disheveled state.
In the blink of an eye, the moment her delicate white hand touched Dongfang Heng's clothes, Dongfang Heng's slender figure retreated more than ten meters away. The tightly closed window suddenly opened, and strong sunlight shone in. Li Youlan's eyes could not withstand the strong light, and she squinted sharply. Dongfang Heng's white figure disappeared from her sight in an instant.
"Princess Zhan, we've come to make a ruckus in the bridal chamber!" The tightly closed door was pushed open, and the young men from prestigious families walked in, chatting and laughing. When they saw a fair and slender figure standing at the door, they suddenly stopped in their tracks.
A long neck, delicate collarbones, long jade arms across her chest, a slender waist that could be encircled by a single hand, fair and delicate skin so tender it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it, and long, slender legs that were shapely and alluring. Several young men from noble families couldn't help but drool. Her figure was absolutely stunning. But when they looked at her face, they suddenly widened their eyes in disbelief: How could it be her!
"ah……"
"ah……"
Dozens of exclamations pierced through the clouds and resounded throughout the sky.
"Get out, all of you get out..." Dozens of burning gazes were fixed on her. Li Youlan's face turned as red as blood. She screamed in alarm, clutching her chest, and rushed into the inner room without a care.
The young noblemen were once again treated to a feast for the eyes. Princess Zhan's shapely buttocks were so white and round, and her smooth, bare back was as delicate as cream. Her long, flowing hair covered a large portion of her beautiful back, appearing and disappearing as she ran, further fueling their fantasies. And those slender, delicate legs... wow, so alluring.
The young men from prestigious families covered their eyes with their hands, saying they were retreating, but they walked very quickly, one step at a time. They secretly opened a gap between their fingers, their lecherous eyes following Li Youlan's slender, fair skin through the gap: "Tsk tsk...so white and tender...such a slender figure..." It must be enough to make one feel like they're in heaven.
Several even more dissolute and lecherous individuals didn't cover their eyes at all, leering at Li Youlan's petite, naked body, and muttering mockingly, "Take your hands off... turn around... let us see your most beautiful, most alluring parts..."
Two figures stood by the window of a private room in the teahouse across the street, their angle allowing them to see everything that was happening at the Prince Zhan's residence.
Shen Lixue watched as several maids from the Prince's mansion rushed into the bridal chamber carrying several women's long dresses. A cold smile appeared on her lips. The noble and delicate body of the Princess Consort Zhan had been seen by everyone, and no amount of clothing could cover it up anymore.
When the steward of the Zhan Prince's Mansion stopped her and invited her to visit Shen Yingxue's courtyard, she sensed something was amiss. She was the Princess Consort of the Holy Prince's Mansion and had no connection with the Zhan Prince's Mansion. Shen Yingxue was Dongfang Zhan's concubine, and it was not her place to dictate where she was placed. The steward's invitation for her to go and offer advice was clearly a ulterior motive.
