Chapter 2730: Young Masters and Old Masters

The male prostitutes in the Capital are relatively few, and ordinary families can’t afford them. They are mostly for the sons of upper-class society and wealthy households, seeking some excitement. It’s normal for average families not to know about this.

The guards all looked at Long Yi together and said, "You just found out!"

When they first discovered this, they were also shocked. Wasn’t the Princess Consort supposed to be a simple country girl, honest and straightforward?

They have lived in the Capital for so many years and never knew about this industry. But the Princess Consort just returned to the Capital a few months ago and seems to know everything. They genuinely feel inferior.

Long Yi shivered and instructed his men beside him, saying, "Oh my, the Princess Consort is too scary. Let me tell you, be careful in the future not to give her any leverage, or else you’ll be sold off as a male prostitute. Don’t say I didn’t warn you."

"Oh! Got it!" all the guards answered in unison.

Long Yi shivered again. No idea what’s going on? It’s summer, yet the War Prince’s Mansion feels particularly cold today.

He couldn’t stand it; he must go inform Zi Xia quickly, telling her not to annoy the Princess Consort for no reason, otherwise, if the Princess Consort gets angry one day and sells off his future wife, whom would he cry to?

Rain Listening Courtyard.

Having solved the troubles within the mansion, Xuexue was in high spirits, singing a little tune while embroidering a small handkerchief, her expression full of delight.

"Darling, in a good mood today?" Long Rui first poked his head through the door and smiled after taking a glance.

Xuexue glanced up at him and chuckled, "Prince, why are you sneaking around? If you’re coming in, just come in. Did you do something guilty and dare not enter?"

"Hehe... No!" Long Rui smiled broadly as he walked in, closed the door behind him, and removed the mask from his face. Today he didn’t wear the Human Skin Mask, and once the mask was removed, his stunning visage was revealed...

His fair and smooth face showcased sharply defined cold elegance, with deep and dark mesmerizing eyes. His thick eyebrows, high nose, and exquisite lip shape further expressed nobility and grace.

Compared to the hideous face he typically revealed in public, it was like heaven and earth, making it hard to believe they were the same person.

"Prince, how come you returned so early today? Did you hear some rumors, and so came back eagerly?" Xuexue’s voice was full of jealousy.

"Yes, I longed for you, my darling, so I returned eagerly."

"Sweet talk."

"Really, my darling, you’re beautiful today!"

"What happened? The Prince has such a sweet mouth today; did you eat candy?"

"As long as I can see you, my darling, my heart feels sweet as if it’s been filled with sugar every day!"

"If I cut off all the Prince’s ’peach blossoms’, won’t you be angry?"

"Peach blossoms? Do we have peach blossoms?" Long Rui thought hard for a moment and then laughed, "As long as you’re happy, my darling, you can tear down the War Prince’s Mansion, and I’ll not frown even a bit, let alone a few rotten peach blossoms."

Pretending, you’re just pretending!

Xuexue didn’t believe for a moment that Long Rui returned without someone reporting to him that she sold all the women in the mansion to the Yihong Brothel.

Especially the steward, who is very loyal to him and would report all matters to Long Rui, big or small.

Xuexue nodded and laughed, "Since the Prince says so, I’m relieved. Come over and take a look; I specially embroidered a handkerchief for you as a reward."

"Really?"

Long Rui was very happy, walked over cheerfully, and sat beside Xuexue, carefully examining the handkerchief in her hands.

This is a handkerchief for men, slightly larger than those used by women, not as gaudy in color, and edged with golden threads. It must be said that this handkerchief looks quite imposing and quite attractive.
