What Bad Intentions can the Yandere Crown Prince have?-Chapter 374 - 370: The Grand Wedding (Part 3)

Is this simply thoughtful concern, or intentional flirting?

This question lingered in Tang Xiaobai’s mind even during the betrothal ceremony.

She couldn’t help but sneak a glance at the young master sitting opposite her.

Under the crow-feather-like long lashes, the pitch-black eyes were calm and quiet.

At first glance, he seemed cold and solemn; on second look, somewhat obedient.

Her young master is still just a big boy...

As she was thinking, the female official prompted the next step: "Crown Prince, Crown Princess Consort, please proceed to change clothes."

Tang Xiaobai didn’t feel anything special when she heard this, but when the Crown Prince looked up at her, she inexplicably shuddered: "Please leave us."

It seemed as though something jumped in the Crown Prince’s dark eyes, making her heart fiercely skip a beat.

The female official was at a loss: "Crown Princess Consort—"

"The Crown Princess Consort asks you to leave!" The Crown Prince spoke too, his tone cold and impatient, his eyes pinned on Tang Xiaobai’s face.

The female official shrunk her shoulders and left with her head bowed.

As the palace door closed, the candles inside seemed to flicker slightly.

Tang Xiaobai’s heart also trembled slightly, seeing the person opposite her seemingly intended to move, she quickly said: "I have questions for you!"

Li Mu had just thought of standing up but sat back down upon hearing this: "Ask away."

Tang Xiaobai hesitated for a while, then asked: "What are we supposed to do next?"

"Wash and change clothes, then go to bed," Li Mu said, suddenly realizing, and he couldn’t help but smile, "Has no one from your family ... taught you?" Though it was unreasonable, it’s ... kind of nice?

Unexpectedly, his young Crown Princess Consort jumped up directly upon hearing this, glaring round-eyed: "You, you were taught?!"

Before Li Mu could answer, she continued bombarding him with questions: "Who taught you? A male or a female? How did they teach you?"

Tang Xiaobai was about to explode.

She had completely overlooked this point!

The young master is the Crown Prince!

Let alone the Crown Prince, even noble gentlemen in ancient times would have arranged "special individuals" to teach them before marriage.

For a dignified Crown Prince, such arrangements are so natural that there’s no need to inform her!

Aaahhhhhh——

"They weren’t exactly teachings;" Li Mu’s response abruptly halted her internal screaming.

Tang Xiaobai took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down and listen.

"When I first returned to the capital, Mo Huan found some... albums for me, three in total. Later, Cao He wanted to arrange for two palace maids for me; I didn’t decide on that, so I searched for some albums, totaling five. Yu Jun also donated five." Li Mu hurriedly explained clearly seeing her face looking bad.

The Crown Princess Consort’s expression indeed quickly improved after his answer.

Li Mu subtly moved next to her, quietly asking: "So... Ah Jiao saw them too?"

Even though the girl’s face was dusted with powder, it couldn’t hide the rising blush.

The blush spread in the blink of an eye, even staining her slender neck with a peach blossom-like pink.

Li Mu’s throat rolled slightly, whispering: "Shall I assist Ah Jiao with washing and changing clothes?"

"Wait!" Tang Xiaobai jumped back a step, watching him warily.

Before, she didn’t overthink whatever the young master said or did, but now—

What washing and changing clothes! He clearly intended to...

"I want to discuss something with you!" Tang Xiaobai rubbed her heated face, wiping away a handful of powder disdainfully on her clothes.

Li Mu saw her actions and couldn’t help but laugh: "Why not wash first, then discuss?"

He said, moving towards her.

Tang Xiaobai quickly backed up two more steps: "Let’s discuss now!"

Li Mu frowned: "Come over here first."

"Why come over?" Tang Xiaobai was so vigilant she almost had her ears up.

Although the young master had always pretended to be obedient in front of her, she wasn’t foolish enough to truly regard him as a little pup.

Li Mu grew increasingly displeased: "We’re married now."

Tang Xiaobai paused, then suddenly felt she was being excessive, so she moved a step closer to show a good gesture.

She took a small step, unaware the other party simultaneously took a big step, directly closing the distance to almost zero.

"Hey, don’t—" Before Tang Xiaobai could protest, he had already enclosed her in his arms.

This embrace, she thought she was already very familiar with, but usually, she’d break free easily, whereas today it was like an iron-fortress, immovable.

"Are you afraid?" He whispered near her ear.

His breath was scorching, brushing against her neck.

Tang Xiaobai shrank her neck a bit and quieted down, softly saying: "Don’t you think we’re still too young?"

"I don’t think so." Li Mu replied without hesitation.

Tang Xiaobai hesitated a little, then continued earnestly: "I’m only fourteen this year, my body isn’t fully grown yet. What if... if I get pregnant, it would be dangerous."

"What danger?" Li Mu’s expression immediately became serious, straightening his body to look into her eyes and ask.

"It’s... difficult labor."

Li Mu’s face changed dramatically: "Are you serious?"

Tang Xiaobai nodded vigorously.

She had only vaguely thought of this issue in the last couple of days, delaying until the wedding night to discuss with him, indeed it’s her fault.

But since it concerns her life, she couldn’t help but insist.

The marriage proceeding was due to other considerations; in other respects, she’s only fourteen, it’s better to delay further.

Li Mu fell silent for a long time, his expression brooding.

Feeling guilty, Tang Xiaobai snuggled into his arms, hugging him and softly asking: "Are you angry?"

"No," Li Mu said sulkily.

How could this be "no"? Obviously, he needed to be comforted!

The Crown Princess Consort was flexible, nudging against the Crown Prince’s chest, coquettishly and softly: "Don’t be angry, Your Highness!"

Li Mu immediately softened on one side, glancing at her without saying a word.

Tang Xiaobai understood perfectly? She chuckled lightly and continued to cater to him: "Your Highness? Crown Prince?"

Still no response.

"Li Mu?"

"Ah Mu?"

The Crown Prince’s expression gradually gave in.

"Still unhappy? Then... Xiao Hei?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Li Mu couldn’t help it, laughing out loud.

Tang Xiaobai smiled slyly, throwing out her trump card: "Brother Ah Mu."

Soft and sweet, almost dripping with honey.

Li Mu felt as though his heart was scratched by a plump little paw, itching unbearably, a sudden emptiness surged up from deep within.

He instinctively wanted to embrace the girl before him to fill the emptiness, but the girl who was within reach suddenly slipped out of his arms like a fish swimming away.

Tang Xiaobai escaped to the bathroom door, turning back to smile at him: "Brother Ah Mu, I’m going to wash and change clothes!"

After finishing her sentence, she dashed into the bathroom, closing the door, locking it.

Flirting and running away, so thrilling!

...

But in this world, there are consequences.

When Tang Xiaobai comfortably finished her bath and changed into brand new sleeping attire, opening the door to leave, she looked up—

Ah!

The Crown Prince was waiting right by the door!

He initially leaned against the wall with crossed arms, but when he saw her come out, he straightened his body.

Beneath the white gauze interior, his muscles flowed like dark currents.

Tang Xiaobai swallowed, just looking away, she met his dangerous gaze—
