Chapter 335 - Being Teased (1/2)
Yu Xiaocao revealed a horrified expression on her face, ‘Could it be that all the noble ladies in the capital appear bright and neat on the surface, but are actually sloppy beneath that facade? Do they not bath or brush their teeth?’
Zhu Junyang leaned forward and knocked her head that was outside the window of the carriage. The pent-up frustrations in his heart dissipated a little as he unhappily said, “What are you thinking! When I said clean, I don’t mean on the outside. I meant their hearts; Their hearts have to be pure and they need to have a good temperament!”
“Oh… you also noticed that her intentions towards you aren’t pure? But it’s not surprising considering that you’re handsome and have a very promising future. So it’s very normal for you to attract the attention of young maidens, okay?” Yu Xiaocao explained to him.
Zhu Junyang frowned slightly and said, “But...everytime someone with ulterior motives approaches me, I feel irritable and I can’t control myself. I want to pinch her throat and throw her out. What should I do?”
Yu Xiaocao blinked her big eyes and suddenly appeared surprised. She hesitated for a long time before she whispered, “Young Royal Prince, are you only like this towards women? What about men? If a handsome looking teenager approaches you, will you also become irritable and want to kill him?”
“I do! As long as those guys with ulterior motive are within three steps of me, I can detect it. Since they’re also men, I don’t need to take too much into consideration and just throw them out!!” Zhu Junyang looked up with his chin pointing towards the sky with a proud expression on his face.
Yu Xiaocao let out a big sigh of relief, patted her chest, and whispered, “That’s good, that’s good…”
Zhu Junyang seemed to have smelled that she was hinting at something, so he looked at her and asked in confusion, “What do you mean? Why do I feel like there’s some other meaning behind your words?”
After giving him a lovable eye roll, Yu Xiaocao said, “We have such an iron clad relationship between the two of us, what kind of conspiracy would I plot against you? I’m just concerned about your sexual orientation. I was just afraid that you’ll mistakenly enter the chrysanthemum door and fall deep into the sea…”
“‘Sexual orientation’? ‘Chrysanthemum door’? What kind of nonsense are you talking about?? I’ve realized that you often say words that others don’t understand. You and the emperor must share the same language!!” Zhu Junyang squinted at her and guessed at the possibility of that being true.
Yu Xiaocao shrank her neck and laughed dryly, “Young Royal Prince, you’re wrong about that! The emperor is high above everyone else. He has a lot of knowledge from reading extensively; his mind holds more knowledge than anyone else…I’m just a small peasant girl who never studied and is illiterate. How could I share the same language as the emperor?”
She reminded herself in her heart that she was now in the capital, so she had to be careful when she spoke or did something. This way the other transmigrated person wouldn’t be able to get a hold of her weakness. He was the supreme ruler of this era. Killing her would be like killing a little ant. Although she posed no threat to the emperor, she must still be careful. How could she know that the emperor had already long established and confirmed her identity? Like a cat playing with a mouse, he had been watching her movements secretly!
Just when Yu Xiaocao was staying silent because of her guilt, Head Steward Liu couldn’t hold back and coughed twice. He quietly told his master, “Some of the wealthy people in the capital have special hobbies. They like to ‘walk the back door’. They call a certain part in the behind the chrysanthemum. I assume the ‘chrysanthemum door’ that Miss Yu is talking about is related to this?”
Zhu Junyang was born and grew up in the capital, so he naturally heard of those dirty matters. He even had some experience himself. When he was a child, his appearance was beautiful and delicate and he liked to be alone. One day he left the house by himself and was taken away by an official who had such a special hobby. He had seen some unbearable sights. The filthy scene turned him violent on the spot and he killed the official that tried to do something to him. When his father brought him back, he was immersed in his own consciousness and almost couldn’t ever wake up again!
Recalling such an unfortunate event, Zhu Junyang became extremely agitated. He jumped off his horse and dragged the carriage from the back to halt it. Then he charged into the carriage and twisted Yu Xiaocao’s arm and asked, “Who told you these filthy things? If that person tells you such nonsense in the future, don’t listen to them, lest you dirty your ears!! Tell me, who told you these things? I will personally dismember his body!!”
In Zhu Junyang’s heart, Yu Xiaocao was a ray of light in the darkness; she was the warm sun in the severe winter. She was someone whom one could only meet by chance and not by force in this chaotic world. She was his only salvation. Whoever wished to pollute this simple and pure land will be his enemy forever.
When Head Steward Liu saw that his master had almost turned violent, he couldn’t help but slap his mouth. Why did he have to run his mouth!!
Yu Xiaocao felt very uncomfortable because her arm was grabbed by the young prince. She tried to shake him off, but she couldn’t. She was annoyed, “Let go! My arm is going to break, it’s almost broken…”
Although Zhu Junyang was very clear about his strength and was able to control it within the range of what the little girl could bear, he still loosened his grip subconsciously. Yu Xiaocao successfully escaped and reprimanded him, “Men and women shouldn’t touch once they’re over the age of seven. We’re not related to one another, so it’s best if you keep your distance, lest I depend on you!”
Yu Hai, who was sitting next to Yu Xiaocao, carefully separated the two, and said, “Royal Prince, sometimes my daughter doesn't think before she talks. Please don’t lower yourself to her level.”
