The head maid hurriedly saluted and said, “According to the Crown Prince, we are here to help the princess change clothes.”
“What sort of clothes?”
He followed the maids’ gaze and noticed that it was an exquisite-looking dress. One could tell that it was delicate and beautiful, clearly from the hands of a well-known clothes store.
“Where is it from?”
“The Crown Prince ordered someone to hurry into the nearby city to receive it.”
“What does she want to do?”
“This…” The two maids looked at each other before saying, “This maid doesn’t know.”
Actually, there was no need to ask. Now that the South Liang’s princess was in the North Jin’s Crown Prince’s hand, he obviously wanted her to wear the new clothes to serve him.
Xian Sheng didn’t know whether she would agree or not if she was a girl, but he was sure that he wouldn’t let Zhan Lue have his way. If the Liang people knew that the South Liang’s princess was actually a prince and was humiliated like this, others would look down upon him even more.
He raised his hand and threw the clothes on the ground. “Scram.”
“Princess…”
“Scram!”

She gave the others a look and they all walked forward, preparing to forcibly change her clothes. Xian Sheng wondered if he was the match against these healthy girls. He hurriedly took a few steps back and while he was panicking, the curtains on the door were suddenly pulled to the side. Zhan Lue said, “Retreat.”
The maids all left and Xian Sheng silently curled up into a ball in bed, a bit afraid.
Zhan Lue stared at him for a while and Xian Sheng looked down, hugging herself tightly. He appeared to be helpless and pitiful.
Zhan Lue bent over and picked up the clothes, patting off the dust. He said, “I just want to see how beautiful the princess must be after changing out of men’s clothes. I don’t have any other intentions.”
”
Xian Sheng said nothing. Zhan Lue placed the clothes in front of him and continued, “I know that princess has been spoiled and raised delicately as a child. You have a stubborn personality. Unfortunately, I am also stubborn. If the princess is unwilling to grant me my wish, then I’ll have to personally change you out of the clothes.”
Xian Sheng immediately raised his head. “You just said that you had no other intentions!”
“If everything goes well, I naturally don’t have any other intentions.”
Zhan Lue glanced at Xian Sheng. His gaze was full of overbearing and dominance. Xian Sheng had never been humiliated like this. Right then, he felt wronged. However, he was his enemy, so he finally backed up in the end. “Go out.”
Zhan Lue shifted his gaze away and turned around to talk out. He stood in front of the tent but he couldn’t help but tilt his head to look through the curtain as though he could see past it.
He paced back and forth as though thinking about something. Jiang Qin who helped him up the city noticed that he was in a daze. He thought about it before coming over and saying, “Your highness, are you thinking about attacking the city tomorrow? From this subordinate’s perspective, the Liang Country’s princess has already been captured. Right now, there is no way the Liang Country will have someone that can arrange the formation according to the situation.”
After he finished, he noticed that Zhan Lue didn’t respond, but his eyes were pitch-black and he couldn’t read the expression. “Your highness?”
Zhan Lue finally looked up at him and asked, “What?”
“…” So it seems like you didn’t listen to a single thing I said. Jiang Qin looked around and then said, “Is Your Highness thinking about the Liang princess?”
No one expected the weak princess of the Liang Country to be the person on the city tower. Although he only snatched a glance, Jiang Qin noticed that the princess was overly beautiful too. All these years, His Highness had been fascinated in military stratagems and developing new land. Originally, Your Majesty said that after the Crown Prince destroyed the Liang Country, he will find a suitable candidate for marriage for him. It wasn’t strange for the Crown Prince to be moved right now.
Zhan Lue didn’t retort and he glanced at the tent again. He said calmly, “She is very beautiful.”
Jiang Qin glanced at his gaze. Sure. He is really touched. He suggested, “Since the destruction of the Liang Country is inevitable, if Your Highness wants the princess, you don’t need to worry about anything. You can have her wash up and serve you tonight.”
A dark glint flickered in Zhan Lue’s eyes. He subconsciously licked his lips and said softly, “I’m just scared that she’s unwilling.”
Jiang Qin smiled and said, “She needs to serve you no matter whether she’s willing or not. Military Doctor Hu has medicine there. If Your Highness needs…”
Zhan Lue’s gaze became cold right then. Jiang Qin realized that he said the wrong words, so he immediately shut up and found an excuse to escape.
After all, he was the North Jin’s Crown Prince. How could he drug a woman?
Zhan Lue silently walked around. After a while, he walked back to the tent again. He extended his hand and then withdrew it. He said, “Did the princess finish changing?”
There was no movement in the tent.
Zhan Lue knitted his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, “If the princess doesn’t answer, I will come in.”
After a few moments, he pushed the curtains to the side and walked in.
Xian Sheng still sat in bed, but he changed into women’s clothes. It was light green and made him seem like a fairy descending from heaven.
Xian Sheng raised his head and Zhan Lue hid his worry, casually asking, “Why don’t you use some blush?”
Xian Sheng asked, “Just what do you want to do?”
Zhan Lue didn’t bear to shift his gaze away from Xian Sheng. He walked forward and said, “If the princess is willing to be affectionate, I am willing to make a deal with you.”
Xian Sheng was moved. “What sort of deal?”
Xian Sheng felt a bit regretful. If he was a woman, he naturally didn’t mind throwing himself in Zhan Lue’s arms to keep his family safe. But at this time, even if he didn’t have the confidence, he needed to pretend that he had confidence.
“Bow and bend down to you Jin people?” Xian Sheng mimicked his elder brother’s tone and said, “You’re dreaming.”
He said this in a sharp tone, but Zhan Lue wasn’t angry. He sat back down on the bed and reached over to caress Xian Sheng’s long hair. He avoided his touch and at the same time, moved his body even closer to the wall, looking angrily at him.
“Princess has a sharp tongue. Your words are sharp like knives at times and sometimes sweet like honey.” Zhan Lue moved closer and Xian Sheng was forced to move back again. Zhan Lue’s face hovered over him and he softly said, “Do you want to let me try it?”
Ahhhhh leave him alone 😧
Although I personally like the big tall overbearing type.. I know, I know sigh… I am kinda scared for the prince.
Thanks for the chapter!
Try what?? I thought he was gonna say ‘taste it’ 🙈
Thank you for the chapter ❤
Thanks for the chapter!
“Ther ei sno”?
it’s meant to say “there is no”
“Right now, ther ei sno way the Liang Country will have someone that can arrange the formation according to the situation.” > their is no way
“All these years, HisHighness had been fascinated in military stratagems
and developing new land. Originally, Your Majesty said that after the
Crown Prince destroyed the Liang Country,” > his Highness had been… your Majesty? (who is “majesty” referring to? I have no clue myself)
“Sure. He is really touched.” > Sure, he is really touched? I don’t know if this is an accurate correction but it’s awkward to read three short sentences together
I think his majesty is referring to the crown prince’s father
Abt that “Your Majesty” part, like Ice Bear said it’s prolly referring to the Emperor and should be “His Majesty” rather than “Your Majesty”.
And as for that last one, yeah it does sound awkward and I’m not sure if this would be accurate based on the raws, but “Indeed, he really was moved” would sound better.
Ah, poor Xian Sheng.
Thanks for the chapter! ^ ^)/♡
Not gonna lie, even though they will end up together, I’m still gonna be
thinking that it’s a non-con relationship (at best, dub-con). Just
because the power dynamics were so off and forced from the beginning. I
know that I need to take IRL logic away for the sake of the story, but I
can’t for this – maybe because I just listened to Colleen Stan’s story. I’m intrigued about what XS will do though, and his character draws me in.
Not sure why that italicized or how I did that lol
….I appreciate him not forcing Xian Sheng, but he really isn’t gonna stop with all the flirting huh lolol
Thanks for the chapter! 🙂
Zhan Lue is obsessed with Xian Sheng’s beauty… Maybe If he makes himself Ugly, the Prince Will let him go. Buuuut we know that’s not gonna happen.
Thanks for the chapter!
Try what? His tongue or his words?
Thanks for the chapter la ~
This begins a battle of wits.
Thanks for the great translation ♥️
thank you for the chapter!
