1829 Was Crown Prince Long Good


    Yuan You fiddled with her fingers. “The novel I read mentioned this.” A thought crossed her mind and she leaned into Hexin’s ear to whisper, “Was Crown Prince Long good?”


    She could not understand why a properdy like Yuan You would be interested in such a thing.


    Hexin lifted her head and saw Yuan You staring back at her with bright, ck eyes. There was a coy smile on Yuan You’s face and Hexin was taken aback. She remembered the naughty thoughts in her mind and she quickly brushed it off while trying to suppress the embarrassment in her heart. She peeled a grape and stuffed it into Yuan You’s mouth as she tried to change the topic. “This grape is really sweet. You should try it.”


    Yuan You ate the grape while looking at Hexin from the side of her eyes. “I was just being curious. Cousin Hexin, you’re really stingy with information.”


    Hexin was taken aback and decided to be thick-skinned with her reply. “Why are you so interested in another person’s affairs in bed? If you really want to know more about it, just get married quickly and you’ll find out.”


    At the mention of this, Yuan You put both hands on the table and leaned her chin on them. She said listlessly, “I’ll start matchmaking once I return. My grandfather has a few families in mind…”


    “Don’t worry, Grandfather has a good eye. He’ll help you pick a good husband.” Hexin consoled Yuan You.


    Yuan You leaned on the table and looked at Hexin with slight envy. “You’re lucky to be able to marry someone you love. You grew up with Crown Prince Long and have an understanding of each other’s background. Now that you’ve gotten married, you’re the envy of others.”


    Hexin ced a hand on the table and said with a hint of mncholy, “Even then, I now have fewer opportunities to see my parents. Moreover, there is a long way ahead in our future. Who knows if anything might change?”


    Yuan You could not helpforting Hexin when she heard this. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a little far away. At least you’re marrying someone you like and Crown Prince Long treats you very well now. Why would you worry about the future? At the very least, you still have the Emperor and the Empress of Great Shang, don’t you? They’re such a loving couple and Crown Prince Long would definitely be influenced by them. He will surely treat you even better in the future. Cousin Hexin, you will continue to lead a happy life.”


    Hexinughed and pinched her cheek. “When have you be such a sweet-talker?”


    Yuan You pouted unhappily. “Do you mean to say that I’ve been clumsy with my words before? I’ve always been good with my words.”


    Hexin gave a smallugh and humored Yuan You. “Yes, you’ve always been good with words.”


    Yuan You leaned closer to Hexin and brought the topic back to its original point. “Well, Cousin Hexin, I’m really dying of curiosity. Hurry up and give me the answer.”


    Hexin was exasperated. “Rather than listening to me, why not let me find you a man to help you experience things for yourself? Wouldn’t that be better?”


    Yuan You felt a little embarrassed. “You’re too blunt, Cousin Hexin. Does Crown Prince Long know that about you?”


    “What does it matter if he knows this? Aren’t you the one who kept on asking me about it?” Hexin rolled her eyes.


    “Are you avoiding the topic and refusing to reveal anything because Crown Prince Long can’t perform?” Yuan You suddenly asked in a whisper.
