Asking About Love Songs

Chapter 47

"What does my younger brother want to say?"

“I want you to know that no matter how much I try to please or scheme, I will not resort to hunger strikes.”

"so what?"

Compared to his narrowed, sharp eyes, Su Shaochu blinked innocently.

"I'm hungry." Her appetite began to stir as soon as she heard the maid bring in the food.

"Hungry?!" Zhu Yu smiled, loosening his grip on her and instead supporting her head on either side, his tone suggestive and ambiguous. "This prince is hungry too, and only you can satisfy me. I wonder if my beloved younger brother Shaochu would be willing to let this prince feast to his heart's content?"

"I think that with your noble status and generosity, Third Prince, you would not have the heart to bully a poor woman who is hungry and weak at this time." She spoke helplessly and gently, her soft hand touching his handsome nose and lightly moving to his slightly upturned lips.

“It is not my pleasure to bully a poor, hungry, and weak woman, but I would be happy to try it with you!”

"Oh dear, this body has grown with great difficulty and is hard to nurture. I beg you, Third Prince, to consider the suffering of the Su family's bloodline and give it some rest before you can use it."

As a child, she was nurtured by the precious jade pillow and the golden lotus in the bed of the East. Before her complexion was fully restored, ginseng and snow lotus were always taken to nourish her. It was only through the nourishment of the heaven and earth and the careful care of a group of people that the sixth son of the Su family was able to escape the fate of dying young.

"Could it be that this prince, in such high spirits, needs to burn incense and choose an auspicious time to torment someone?"

"How dare I? With your indulging in your desires and disregarding the lives of others, Third Prince, I never dared to hope that I would be an exception. At least, I never believed that the feelings you have shown me were serious enough to make me an exception."

"You are young and love your brother. The feeling of love and hate is not enough to describe how you feel. You know very well whether I am serious about you or not. No matter what you think, you are not allowed to play tricks on me because of the feelings I have for you!"

"People always start to want to face the things they've been trying to escape when they have nowhere else to run, like... your feelings, Zhu Yu."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu's brows furrowed instantly, and he gripped her slender wrist tightly in one hand, while his other hand pinned her neck and jaw!

"You are not allowed to—" he repeated again as if issuing a warning, "You are absolutely not allowed to take advantage of the feelings I, the prince, have for you. Nothing will change your situation now!"

He kissed her lips, which were parted by the choking, ignoring her pain as she struggled to breathe. Her struggles only fueled his cruelty, his sucking becoming fierce and biting, until a low, painful sob escaped her lips, at which point he finally stopped, satisfied.

"From this day forward, my dear brother, with your body that could drive anyone mad, I will hold you day and night..."

He stroked her lips, which were moist and swollen from the repeated kisses, and spoke in an unusually soft voice, yet so soft it was chilling, "You are not allowed to take advantage of the feelings I have for you, you are not allowed to play tricks again, or you will not be able to bear the consequences."

She never expressed her feelings for him. No, it should be said that she didn't want to care at all. If it weren't for his power, if it weren't for what had happened between them, and even his forceful actions, the person under her might never have belonged to him in her entire life!

"Are you afraid of my reciprocation, or are you afraid of being deceived again?" Facing the demon from the Heavenly Clan whom he had brought upon himself through his misdeeds, ignoring the twisted ruthlessness on that handsome face, Su Shaochu provoked again, "The Third Prince, who has toyed with countless people, is now afraid of tasting the feeling of being toyed with?"

As anger blazed in Zhu Yu's eyes, his large hand ripped open the half-open shirt, revealing half of his snow-white shoulder and skin, contrasting with the tattered light green bodice. A low, thirsty growl followed as a soft, twisting hand covered his lips. A finger pressed against his lips, and Su Shaochu raised his eyebrows slightly, as if telling a reckless child, and sighed, "Third Prince, Shaochu said, be gentle, don't hurt me, otherwise Shaochu will not be able to accompany you in this dream."

She suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Do you really decide my situation? Do you control me?"

With her eyelashes slightly lowered, her alluring eyes seemed to be brewing a rich, intoxicating aroma, inviting one to become intoxicated by it. Before Zhu Yu could respond, Su Shao Chu kissed his lips, returning the deep, lingering kiss he had just given her, but this time she took the lead.

Although her actions startled Zhu Yu for a moment, he immediately wrapped his arms tightly around the body that drove him mad. Her lips and tongue responded with a touch of rough possessiveness. Even though he knew that her approach was mostly scheming and that her response was a mocking retort, he was still captivated by her initiative in kissing and her close embrace.

He never imagined he would have such a day. As a man of immense power and influence, he always relied on those around him to watch his every whim before taking action. He never worried about getting what he wanted and never cared about the lives of others. Now, however, he was moved by such a trivial matter, and his thoughts and emotions were entirely tied to one person.

"Shaochu..."

Zhu Yu's deep moans kissed her rosy cheeks and neck, his hands moving from under her clothes to her smooth back, trying to untie the bodice straps behind her, but she pushed him away.

"Wait, wait a minute."

“I told you, nothing will change your situation!” Zhu Yu’s voice was hoarse with desire as he gripped her arm.

"Sigh!" She leaned her head against his chest, looking innocent and aggrieved, and said, "Shao Chu just said that this body has had a difficult growth process, so he should give it some color before you can do anything to it."

Zhu Yujun narrowed his long, captivating eyes slightly. "Very well, it is my responsibility to feed my beloved brother. After that, it is your turn to feed me."

"If Shao Chu doesn't know how to accept an order that leaves no room for maneuver, he'll seem ungrateful." It seems that the saying "when people are well-fed and clothed, they think of lust" applies to ordinary people, not to this lustful demon from the imperial family who is always thinking about lust.

"Young Master Ai has always been very shrewd about the situation and knows the consequences of resisting."

He smiled and picked her up, carrying her through layers of light-colored draped gauze, each layer an arm's length apart. The further out they went, the more the draped gauze fluttered in the wind, and the clearer the sound of the cascading waterfall became. The breeze was cool and refreshing, making her instinctively shrink back into the man on his chest.

“The wind at ‘Yunliu Pavilion’ carries the moisture from the distant waterfall, and it gets quite cold at night.”

"here it is……"

The inner room was already extremely spacious, but the outer room was even more unbelievably large. There were five huge square windows around it, each with a frame made of brightly colored glass totems, like clouds representing good fortune. The glass frames were openwork, and the sunlight shone through the bright green leaves, filtering through the colorful glass totems and casting beautiful shadows.

Each window is decorated with an arched carving, with a green gauze curtain tied to one side. Outside the window is a landscape of green mountains and forests, with shady peaks and a vast waterfall in the distance. Even from a distance, one can feel the magnificent grandeur of the waterfall.

From a high vantage point, the mountain peaks and forests resemble a vast expanse of green satin. As autumn approaches, a few streaks of yellow and pale red adorn the landscape, sketching the beginning of late autumn for the season to come.

Whether in the outer or inner rooms, the most distinctive feature of this house is its layers of draped gauze. This is because of the five specially made glass windows. When opened during the day, the colorful glass allows light to pass through, enhancing its beauty. Although each glass window is covered by an outer window for protection, covering it would prevent the light from being too dim and losing the beauty of the design. In addition, the open windows also provide protection from the cold in autumn and winter and the flying insects in summer. Therefore, the layers of draped gauze are used to keep out the cold.

"The Rising Waterfall of Piaoxia Peak and the Yunliu Pavilion are located on the mountainside," Zhu Yu said, as if knowing her doubts, as he placed her on the soft couch.

"Piaoxia Peak... Rising Sun Waterfall... Is this Jinghui City?!"

A bustling metropolis to the east of the capital. Su Shaochu remembered that this city was famous for its glass and bamboo woven products.

"Isn't this a necessary route to Jiangnan?" I remember when Zhu Yu took me away from "Yunshuzhai", he said that we were going to Jiangnan.

"What? Already thinking about how to get out of here?" Zhu Yu lifted her chin and pinched it playfully.

“Not in the capital, not in the imperial city, Shao Chu’s whereabouts are truly a mystery. He has far removed from the forces he can use, and even his martial arts have been sealed. What else can be done?” Su Shao Chu retorted in great detail to what he had just said.

"You are someone who must not be given any opportunity to take advantage of others, otherwise your actions will be regrettable."

"Oh, could this be the reason why the Third Prince changed his whereabouts, just to confuse anyone who might be trying to rescue Shao Chu?"

With Zhu Yu's power and ability, what is there to fear from anyone! Whoever comes will be the perfect opportunity for him to vent his anger at Yunfeng last year, especially his twin sister Su Xuechu, whom Zhu Yu probably can't forget.

"What do you think, my dear brother? You've always been very accurate in your predictions."

"The Third Prince's thoughtful considerations and actions are beyond Shao Chu's comprehension."

"Is it that you can't guess, or that you don't want to say?" Zhu Yu sat down on the other side.

Su Shaochu simply smiled. "Shaochu only sees food right now."

On the low table on the soft couch, several delicious dishes are laid out, the rims of which are decorated with matching glass ornaments, all so beautiful that they are tempting to the appetite. The tableware is also adorned with the beauty of glass.

"It seems that Yunliu Pavilion has lived up to Jinghui City's reputation for producing glass, and even the dishes on the table are exquisite and full of ingenuity."

The chopsticks were also painted red and inlaid with yellow and green glass, truly reflecting Zhu Yuhua's luxurious style.

"What's wrong? Doesn't it suit your taste?" He watched her pick up her chopsticks and enjoy the food for a moment, then looked at him with interest.

"It's nothing... I just feel that it's rare to see the Third Prince looking so 'plain'."

Aside from his fine robes and brocades, jade ornaments in his hair and crown, and the slightly shorter string of crimson stones he always wore, he had none of the other dazzling gold and silver jewelry on him. Even the ruby rings that he always wore on at least eight fingers were nowhere to be seen. This was truly a rare and peculiar sight on Zhu Yu!

"Speak up, my dear brother!"

"Even though you're dressed so simply, you still exude... an aura of great wealth. It's truly... unbelievable." Could it be that you were born with precious jewels and have absorbed them to become your essence?

"I've also discovered another incredible thing." Zhu Yu's lazy smile was husky, and his sidelong glance began to ignite a fiery light. "Even though you, my beloved brother, possess an ethereal purity that seems untouched by worldly affairs, after holding you, just looking at you makes it hard not to feel a burning sensation in my stomach, imagining your rounded breasts beneath my large hands—"

"Why don't you join us for a meal, Third Prince?" Su Shaochu interrupted him, trying to find something for him to do while he sat idly across from her.

“I enjoy looking at you.” He continued to linger over her with his gaze.

"Then could you please not make Shao Chu feel more like a meal?" After enjoying her meal for a while, she finally put down her utensils and met his burning gaze.

"Because my younger brother, you are now so beautiful that they make me even hungrier."

Looking at her half-naked shoulders and the torn light green bodice, one could vaguely see her full, firm breasts and pink nipples, an alluring sight that was hard to conceal.

"Why don't you kindly give me a piece of clothing, so that neither of us will be affected?" She was afraid that if he kept looking, he would really breathe fire and burn people.

“I can’t bear to lose the pleasure of ‘seeing’ you.” Zhu Yu rested his head on his hand, a wicked smile spreading across his face. His piercing red eyes made no attempt to conceal his naked desire as he stared at her beautiful and alluring figure. “If the weather here weren’t so cool, I would rather you didn’t even need to wear clothes.”

"You've already possessed this body, so why bother with this little bit of eye candy?"

"As long as it's you, Su Shaochu, this prince will never have enough!"

She didn't know when it started, but when faced with his intense passion, a touch of melancholy and helplessness would always rise in her heart.

"I suddenly feel a strong urge to take care of you, my wife." He reached out and pressed her hand down as she tried to pick up her chopsticks again.

He blinked his bright, clear eyes, still not understanding what he meant. The next moment, he scooped up a spoonful of thick soup that was still steaming and brought it to her.

"These dishes were specially prepared by a renowned chef from Jinghui City, and the soup is served in a special vessel that keeps the soup warm. Please have a sip of the soup, my wife."

"Ahem, the Third Prince is of the highest rank in the imperial family, how could I, Shao Chu, dare to trouble him?"

Zhu Yu put down the spoon in his hand, looked at her and said, "I'm sure you know very well the current situation and circumstances. Whether you like it or not, the situation is set. Getting used to how we get along from now on is better for both of us. Don't you agree, my wife?"

"What does the Third Prince think should be done?"

"How about we start by calling each other 'husband' and learning to be obedient?"

“It’s such an easy start!” Su Shaochu nodded in agreement. “It’s just a pity that Shaochu has never grasped the meaning of obedience since he was a child, and his understanding is not yet at that level.”

"How can I help you reach this level, my wife?"

"Well..." He pondered for a moment, then raised his eyebrows as if he had a good idea. "Why don't you confess your sins first, Third Prince? As a member of the imperial family, you have forcibly abducted an innocent woman. Such a heinous crime is unforgivable. If you confess your sins properly, you might suddenly realize what it means to be obedient."

"Then let me, your husband, show you another way of submission!"

Zhu Yu came up to her, put his arms on either side of her, and stared at her intently.

"How about you just obediently drink this bowl of medicinal chicken soup?" The voice was extremely gentle, yet it carried an undeniable authority.

"So simple?" She met his handsome face as he leaned down.

"There's no need to make things complicated for you."

"It's a pity that Shaochu has already taken too much medicine since childhood. Unless necessary, he has no interest in drinking medicine again. I can only thank the Third Prince for his kindness."

From the moment the lid was lifted and the first spoonful was scooped out, even with the meat and bones masking the taste, she could still smell an extraordinary medicinal aroma. The friendship between her and Feng Jun'er, the female pharmacist from Nanyuan, was far from ordinary; her knowledge of the aromas of various medicinal herbs was no less than that of a doctor.

"Your ability to love your younger brother is just like your personality, which makes this prince both love and annoyed!" He lifted her chin and said clearly, "This is a medicine specially prescribed by the imperial physicians and brewed to prepare a woman's body for conception."

"A fertility drug?!" His eyes widened in shock. These three words were like a thunderbolt to Su Shaochu, who was used to being carefree and unrestrained.

Every day I'll make you drink a medicinal soup to help you conceive, so you can properly bear me a little princess or a little prince, a real bloodline offspring...

These were the words Zhu Yu spoke when he assaulted her at "Yun Shu Zhai". No matter how dangerous the events or people she encountered in her life, even when she first faced the Third Prince, whom everyone feared, it had never made her hesitate. But at this moment, Zhu Yu's seriousness and persistence towards her caused, for the first time, a slight cold sweat to trickle down Su Shao Chu's forehead.

"I wish to give Wuyou and Wuchou a sibling, so that they can truly feel what it means to be an older sister and know what sibling affection is."

"After recognizing Wuyou and Wuchou, the Third Prince has truly shown remarkable fatherly love...it's truly touching." But even the most touching family affection shouldn't involve her!

Last year, to lure Zhu Yu into her trap, she used her own body as bait. The golden needles hidden in her ring and the circulation of her internal energy allowed her to avoid what might have happened. Now, without the golden needles, her skills are even more...

"The first dose of the medicine for conditioning the body to prepare for conception is the most important, and it serves as the guide for every subsequent dose."

"I suppose the Third Prince intends to take good care of Shao Chu after he drinks this medicine?"
