Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Crown Prince beamed and informed the fifth princess, “He’s Su Bin, the new Primus.”
“Is… Is he Divine Doctor Qin’s husband?”
“That’s right.”
Her enthusiasm waned slightly. The fifth princess was somewhat disappointed. Qin Zhenzhen’s fame for curing the empress dowager’s headache had spread far and wide in the capital. Her husband, Su Bin, was also a household name. His striking good looks and remarkable talents had left a strong impression on her, causing her heart to flutter at first sight.
Unfortunately, he was already married.
“Why is Brother Crown Prince so vexing? What’s the purpose of showing me this portrait?” She pondered, speculating on his intentions.
The Crown Prince was well aware of his fifth sister’s thoughts but chose to feign ignorance, offering a soft explanation, “Big Brother knew that Fifth Sister enjoys collecting pictures of handsome men, so he sent this painting over. If it doesn’t appeal to you, I can take it back.”
With that, he made a move to retrieve the portrait.
After a moment’s contemplation, the fifth princess snatched Su Bin’s portrait back, declaring, “I actually needed one like this.”
Given that her brother, the Crown Prince, was already privy to her penchant for collecting images of handsome men, she felt little concern about him disclosing her secret. Should she ever marry an unattractive man in the future, these portraits of handsome men would serve as her spiritual sustenance.
Observing that his fifth sister had held onto the portrait, the Crown Prince concealed his inner satisfaction. He decided to engage in light banter.
“You know, collecting portraits of handsome men is perfectly fine because everyone appreciates beauty. I, for one, share a common interest with Fifth Sister—I enjoy collecting portraits of beautiful women.”
The fifth princess playfully rolled her eyes at her brother. “Brother Crown Prince, your interests extend far beyond just collecting Portraits of Beauty, don’t they?”
It was no secret that the Crown Prince had an insatiable appetite for beautiful women of all types. Rumor had it that he had a particular penchant for Qin Zhenzhen and had even attempted to forcibly take her away. Had it not been for their father’s timely intervention, Qin Zhenzhen might have already been residing in the Crown Prince’s palace.
At this thought, the fifth princess cast a resentful gaze in her brother’s direction. Why hadn’t the typically audacious Crown Prince seized Qin Zhenzhen back then? If he had, she could have recruited Su Bin as her son-in-law!
Each year, the new Primus was essentially a Prince Consort groomed for princesses like them.
Observing that his purpose had been achieved, the Crown Prince smoothly changed the subject.
“Fifth Sister, you’ve always enjoyed bustling places, haven’t you? Today,l will take you out of the palace for a little outing.”
When the fifth princess heard this, she became excited. “That’s great! Thank you, Brother Crown Prince!”
She and Brother Crown Prince were born from the same mother, and their hobbies were the same.
The crown prince liked to sleep with beautiful women, and she actually liked to sleep with handsome men.
However, she was a woman and did not dare to be as arrogant as Brother Crown Prince.
But she was no less courageous than the crown prince.
Actually, she had already slept with more than one handsome man. Every time, she would disguise herself and go out to fool around.
She thought that only her trusted subordinates knew about this. She did not expect the crown prince to know long ago that she had no resistance to handsome men.
She seemed to understand the Crown Prince’s intentions.
The crown prince brought the fifth princess out of the palace in disguise.
He specially brought her to the streets of the capital to see the new Primus tour the capital.
Su Bin, who was riding on a horse in high spirits, looked around with his beautiful eyes. His gaze seemed to be looking for someone, and the fifth princess was stunned.
Oh my god! He was a hundred times better-looking than in the portrait!
If she could sleep with this handsome man, she would have no regrets in her life.
It was really a coincidence. Su Bin’s gaze happened to meet the fifth princess’s. The fifth princess’s heart immediately fluttered..
