Hong Lian thought it was some kind of extraordinary puzzle, but when she looked at it, the contents of the book surprised her.
She flipped through the cover, and it boldly read, “100 Ways to Coax Women.”
“Your Highness,” Hong Lian felt shocked and disbelieving, almost thinking she hadn’t woken up properly.
“On page forty-two, it says that when a woman has her monthly cycle, you shouldn’t get close to her or argue with her. Instead, you must be gentle and soothe her. Why is that?” Chu Yihan’s well-defined hand rhythmically tapped on the table, and his eyes showed a genuine thirst for knowledge.
Hong Lian’s emotions were complex.
She turned to look at Mo Qi, who also wore a puzzled expression. “Yeah, why can’t you argue and coax a woman during her monthly cycle? What’s the ‘monthly cycle’? Does it come every month?”
Hong Lian was speechless.
She wanted to smack Mo Qi’s head!
“Your Highness, please forgive Hong Lian’s ignorance. Why are you suddenly reading these books? You’re not yet married, so it seems unnecessary for you to go through them.” Hong Lian’s heart trembled, concealing her deep respect and admiration.
But the pain was hard to conceal.
She knew that the woman who made Chu Yihan read these books was not her.
But who was she exactly…
“I’m intending to marry a Princess, and Mo Qi found these books, saying they should be read before marriage.” Chu Yihan furrowed his brow. He was a genius widely praised throughout the Great Cheng Dynasty, and he had never encountered a problem he couldn’t solve.
However, he truly didn’t understand some of the content in these books, nor did he know how to put them into practice.
For example, the part about not getting close to her just now. Whenever he was with Su Yingxue, he couldn’t help but want to be close to her. If he married her in the future, not being able to get close to her for several days was something he couldn’t bear.
“Who does Your Highness intend to marry? What woman has caught Your Highness’s eye?” Hong Lian felt as if her heart had been struck heavily, forgetting about the difference in their status and revealing her inner pain.
“Hong Lian, this isn’t something you should ask!” Mo Qi quickly pulled her back and discreetly reminded her.
The air suddenly became heavy and stifling. Hong Lian lowered her head and apologized, “Your Highness, I have overstepped my bounds. Please forgive me, Your Highness.”
Chu Yihan grunted in acknowledgment, his voice clearly showing displeasure.
He asked her to bring the book over. “Do you know why?”
Hong Lian forced a bitter smile, every word carrying a tinge of bitterness. “The ‘monthly cycle’ refers to a woman’s menstrual cycle, which occurs for three to seven days each month. During this time, a woman’s body is weakened, and she becomes irritable and easily angered. That’s why you shouldn’t get close to her and need to be patient and understanding in your interactions.”
“When she has her menstrual cycle, what can I do for her?” Chu Yihan’s eyes, filled with seriousness, felt like another stab in Hong Lian’s heart.
Hong Lian clenched her lips and looked down. “Keep her warm, prevent her from being exposed to cold, and provide warmth to her abdomen… to alleviate the pain.”
“Does it cause her a lot of pain?” Chu Yihan suddenly stood up, radiating a menacing aura.
Observing the seriousness in his eyes, Hong Lian knew just how much he cared about that woman.
But he was Chu Yihan… God’s favored one!
The noblest Ninth Prince in the entire world!
What kind of woman could captivate him to such an extent, stirring his soul and filling his dreams?
Hong Lian remained silent for a while, and Mo Qi nudged her with his elbow. “Your Highness is asking you a question! What’s wrong with you today? Did you become foolish at the Silver Moon Pavilion?”
Suppressing the pain in her heart, Hong Lian nodded. “Yes…. it causes a lot of pain!”
