That day, Meng Huan had arrived at Lin Bozhou’s bed with a spring palace picture book in his hands.
Ordinary couples don’t look at spring palace pictures, believing it was only circulated by lowly prostitutes in courtesans’ quarters. Not to mention how expensive the things were, the poor commoner could only ever dream of buying them—unless one wanted to attract someone’s affection by adding more spice to their life, why would an ordinary person use it?
This seemed to add another piece of evidence that Meng Huan was indeed trying to seduce Lin Bozhou with his looks, as the letter said.
Lin Bozhou lowered his eyes, watching Meng Huan’s every move.
Meng Huan’s eyes gradually widened when he saw the spring palace picture book. It was as if he couldn’t believe how quickly he was discovered, but soon after, he still listlessly admitted, “Yes.”
A very meek response. “I was the one who brought it.”
“For what reason?”
“…” Meng Huan hesitated for a moment, not daring to say he was afraid of being stabbed to death by the man’s ‘weapon’. Instead, he explained, “As a madam of Your Royal Highness, it is my duty to study the joy of intimacy in bed with you.”
With that, he hung his head with a full blush, showing his shyness.
Lin Bozhou raised his eyebrows and pondered briefly.
Meng Huan kept bringing up his duties, with a very well-behaved image.
—But that wasn’t what the assassination letter said.
“Is that so?” Following the discussed subject, Lin Bozhou responded and pushed the spring palace picture book in front of Meng Huan, showing a hint of confusion. “Then what has madam learned?”
Inexplicably, he was interested in what Meng Huan had to say next.
The underlying meaning in Lin Bozhou’s words made Meng Huan’s scalp tense. Now he was even more certain that he was going to get topped sooner or later. In order to minimize the damage he would receive, he took out the roll of paper in his sleeve and said, “Your Royal Highness, would you like to look at this?”
“What is this?”
“What this Concubine wants Your Royal Highness to know when I serve you in bed.” Meng Huan blushed.
There was a subtle change in the atmosphere.
The paper scroll depicted sex positions for dummies, and Meng Huan felt uneasy wasting fine writing paper, so instead, he used yellow draft paper. Right now, after learning Meng Huan received a secret letter, one could easily suspect that there was a knife hidden in the tightly rolled up paper. Like the idiom, the assassin’s dagger, concealed in a map scroll, would be suddenly revealed when the map was unrolled.
Lin Bozhou didn’t look at the drawing immediately, instead, he raised his eyebrows casually as if he remembered something. “This Regent heard that you vomited from fright trying to kill a chicken?”
“?”
Not expecting the other man to suddenly change the topic, and to one so awkward as well. Meng Huan’s smile turned upside down. “Why?”
“It’s nothing.” It was hard to tell if Lin Bozhou was smiling or not. “This Regent just found it cute.”

“……”
You are making fun of me! You must be making fun of me!

He didn’t have any friends in the orphanage. Back then, he liked to read picture story books. As he grew up, he began to draw his own art, and after he went to university, he drew for a living, doing many commissions of character designs and smut, using the money for his tuition and living expenses.

Putting his hands on his waist with pride, Meng Huan waited gleefully for a compliment. “What does Your Royal Highness think?”
Lin Bozhou gazed down and asked softly, “This is also a spring palace?”
“Of course, but it is more detailed and specific than that book. It also portrays each step in the process of a couple’s intimacy. Your Royal Highness, you must look attentively and learn each step—”
Meng Huan quietly finished his little scheme.
Once you learn it, I will not suffer physically.
These spring palace pictures, although in black and white, the lines were more spicy and unrestrained. The figure of the person pressed under the body was similar to Meng Huan, with one hand covering his face, looking like he was clenching his teeth unbearably.
Compared with the spring palace pictures, which expressed no genuine emotion, this one aroused more interest just by adding some life into the drawing.
Putting the original spring palace aside, this man actually went and drew a new one. It was hard not to believe that he was deliberately being seductive.
Lin Bozhou took his eyes from the painting and looked down at Meng Huan.
Meng Huan looked worried. “Can Your Royal Highness understand the images?”
Lin Bozhou looked deep in thoughts, with a trace of darkness glowing in his eyes. After a while, he smiled and said, “It actually is a little hard to understand. It would be better if Huan Huan could explain the images. Come, have a seat.”
Meng Huan blushed. The two of them looked very much like a newlywed couple sneakily tasting the forbidden fruit together. After finding a film, they closed the door and shut the window, tasting the sweetness in secret.
Lin Bozhou moved the lamp close to the scroll, showing his great interest. “What are they doing?”
Following the man’s line of sight, Meng Huan saw two figures holding each other, mouth to mouth. “…They are kissing. This is a prelude, which can make the later acts proceed more naturally.”
“Kissing?” Lin Bozhou looked very thoughtful, immediately moving his gaze to Meng Huan’s lips.
The moment their eyes met, Meng Huan’s back turned hot and his scalp began to tense, vaguely realizing something.
Lin Bozhou leaned over, his shadow suddenly falling over Meng Huan. He reached out and lightly tapped on the youth’s lips. “Here?”
The man’s fingers were cold, but his touch felt hot to Meng Huan.
The couple were whispering to each other. Lin Bozhou’s voice was very low, slightly breathy.
Meng Huan’s back stiffened as he nodded. “Yes.”
“What does it feel like to kiss?” Lin Bozhou seemed to be clueless in love. His eyes darkened like a predator as he rubbed Meng Huan’s lips repeatedly, wanting to get a definite answer.
Meng Huan’s face instantly flushed. “…Tickles.”
“Mmm?” Lin Bozhou seemed to want to hear him say it again.
Meng Huan clenched his teeth. “It tickles…”
As he endured the fingers’ assault, his lips were rubbed slightly red to match the blush on his cheeks.
“What else is there besides being ticklish? Surely it isn’t just ticklish?” The cool fingers were unrelenting, as if to tease, roaming and hovering around Meng Huan’s lips.
Meng Huan lowered his eyes, clenching his teeth. Even his eyelids began to turn red.
Lin Bozhou chuckled softly. “Not comfortable? Then this Regent will stop.” Looking pleased, he took back his fingers. The first round was over.
As if being granted a pardon, Meng Huan exhaled heavily and touched his burning lips. Lin Bozhou’s attention was back on the paper once more as he pointed to the next panel.
“And what are they doing here?”
“…”
Progressively, the figures’ actions became more intimate and wild.
Meng Huan stumbled in his words, “He is bi-biting the other’s neck.”
“Biting the neck?” Lin Bozhou frowned, sounding very puzzled, “But why does this Regent see him sticking out his tongue?”
Meng Huan: “……”
He complained inside, Old virgins are the worst.
He was already shy by nature and did not want to say anything explicit, but it was like Lin Bozhou would not rest until he heard Meng Huan explain.
Meng Huan answered through his clenched teeth, “Something like that.”
Lin Bozhou didn’t let up, “Something like what?”
“…” Meng Huan admitted defeat. “Licking, he is licking the neck, all right?”
“Oh, so he is licking. Huan Huan, be more precise in your descriptions next time.” Lin Bozhou politely suggested. “If not, this Regent fears he won’t know what to do when the time comes and hurt you from biting too hard.”
“…”
Humph.
Meng Huan expressed his unhappiness inside.
He always got this feeling that Lin Bozhou was teasing him.
Lin Bozhou did not show this in his expression at all. He looked very much like a middle-aged man who was interested in romance. In ancient times, being unmarried at twenty-six really was considered old. He placed his finger on the paper and continued to turn to the next panel.
After two rounds of shame, Meng Huan’s eyes boggled as he looked, and when he saw that Lin Bozhou’s finger was pointing at a more explicit image, his brain buzzed, and his blush quickly rose, turning his whole face beet-red.
“This picture—”
The shou was being held in the gong’s arms, while the shou’s arms were around the gong’s neck and his head buried in the crook of it. The shou’s leg was held up by the gong, who had one hand’s middle finger entering the crevice dripping with an unknown fluid.
According to the sequence of kissing, caressing, XX and XX, it was now obvious what the image was depicting.
“…”
Meng Huan’s brain exploded.
He was dizzy, his vision was spinning, and his knees were weak, not understanding why he, a well respected anonymous artist, would have to study his own smut face-to-face with someone. This was pretty much a social death.
Lin Bozhou really didn’t understand this time. “Where did he put his finger?”
Silence was his answer. Lin Bozhou looked up from the drawing and asked, “Why did you stop talking?”
Meng Huan’s embarrassment was written all over his face. He looked like he had committed some offense, blushing with trembling fingers. In this nervousness, he wrung his hands together and continuously bit his lower lip.
Lin Bozhou studied the panel that his finger was on once more. He raised his eyebrows, and understood why Meng Huan was too embarrassed to speak.
The corners of his lips curved inexplicably.
Some officials in the past would offer him beauties in order to bribe him. They were not only excellent and charming, but also well versed in the art of pleasing men. They were the officials’ meticulously raised Yangzhou skinny horses. At that time, when the beauties came down from the carriage, they were so beautiful that no man in the compound could keep their eyes off of them.
It was just that Lin Bozhou left the beauties to his men without a second glance, not at all interested.
However, today, he was quite enthusiastic. He was very interested in seeing what kind of charming trick Meng Huan would pull out of his sleeves. But now, nevermind tricks in charming men, Meng Huan was not even mentally prepared.
…If he was to really touch the youth now, it would probably lead to a bloody, tearful scene.
“Madam is blushing to this extent. Feeling shy?” Lin Bozhou’s fingers were cold as they came up, like a snake’s forked tongue, causing Meng Huan’s fingers to twitch and his back to tense.
Lin Bozhou could pick up the slightest movements. He smiled slowly and meaningfully. “Madam seems very afraid, are you unwilling to be intimate with this Regent?”
Lin Bozhou was smiling but not, according to Meng Huan’s initial impression. Lin Bozhou exemplified the classic trope of someone who hid a knife in his smile. The more he smiled, the more frightened a person would feel. The wider his smile, the more dread the person felt.
Meng Huan thought to himself. Since the other man had a taste for fierce tempers, if Meng Huan said no, wouldn’t he definitely become more excited?
Meng Huan made up his mind. “It is not that this Concubine does not want to be intimate. It is just that I am a little shy, and also a little grateful.”
“Grateful?”
Meng Huan took a deep breath and explained, “Your Royal Highness has a prominent status and unparalleled talent and appearance. How many people wish to be intimate with Your Royal Highness? The same goes for me.”
Blinking his eyes, he looked like a deeply devoted companion. “This Concubine has admired Your Royal Highness for a long time. Since I have the opportunity, I am willing to serve Your Royal Highness for life and be buried with Your Royal Highness after death. So how can I be unwilling?”
Having said that, he gathered his resolve and went for a wild and bold move.
“Your Royal Highness, just let this Concubine undress you.”
The author has something to say:
Lin Bozhou: ? Are you in this much of a hurry to sleep with this Regent?
Lol, Lin Bozhou will tease Huan Huan to death at this point.
