Lo Cheng was recently quite troubled, as Shangyang Princess was relentlessly following him.
He was at the Palace of the Empress, and Shangyang Princess came along to the Palace of the Empress. When he went to a tavern, she followed him there as well. Like a tail, she was impossible to shake off.
For several days, there were no signs of her losing interest.
Lo Cheng went to his residence to complain, but instead of receiving comfort, he was met with laughter.
"Hey! Isn't this the Prince Consort? When did you take office?" Yang couldn't help but tease first.
The others around him did not stop him; instead, they joined in the fun.
"Please don’t make fun of me," Lo Cheng said helplessly. "That princess, every evening... sigh, let’s not talk about it!"
Ye Xiaohan laughed and said, "Your Highness is truly lively; you are the joy of the palace. To win her favor is not a rare blessing?"
"Right." Gu Bei had been busy for the past few days but now found a moment to come over to Ye Xiaohan.
Lo Cheng shot Gu Bei an annoyed glance and said, "Since the princess is so wonderful, why not let General Gu have her all to himself?"
"That won't be necessary!" Gu Bei quickly declined, glancing at Ye Xiaohan to see that she wasn’t angry before feeling relieved.
Due to Shangyang Princess, many troubles had already arisen between them, and Gu Bei did not wish for it to continue.
Only Luo Jingxian looked at Lo Cheng with concern. Lo Cheng felt warmth in his heart and turned to comfort her.
However, the situation did not resolve itself; Shangyang Princess continued to cling to him day after day.
To avoid Shangyang Princess, Lo Cheng decided to leave the Palace of the Empress and head out onto the streets.
"Wait for me! Don’t walk so fast; I can’t keep up!" Shangyang Princess called out from behind, her legs moving quickly in pursuit. But no matter how hard she tried, there was always a slight distance between them that kept her from reaching Lo Cheng's side.
Lo Cheng was determined to shake her off; there was no way he would stop and wait for her. However, given the identity of the Shangyang Princess, he could not outright refuse her in a rude manner. If the Queen found out, it would be a grave disrespect.
"Your Highness, I have urgent matters to attend to today and cannot accompany you for leisure. I will come by another day to apologize!" Lo Cheng could only push everything onto his official duties, hoping the Shangyang Princess would let him go.
However, the princess immediately saw through his lie. "I asked Father long ago; you haven't been busy at all lately! Mother Empress even specially pleaded with Father on your behalf, so you wouldn't have to manage affairs and could focus on accompanying me!"
Lo Cheng felt overwhelmed; it turned out that the Emperor's recent behavior was all due to this. He should have realized it sooner.
"Your Highness is joking!" Lo Cheng replied. "It is inappropriate for a man and woman to meet privately, especially with someone unfamiliar. Your reputation is important; you should return to the palace early so that the Queen does not worry."
Upon hearing this, the Shangyang Princess seemed to think of something, her face slightly reddening. "We are already engaged, and Exiled Nation has agreed to the marriage; how can we still be considered strangers?"
As they exchanged words, their feet continued moving forward.
Lo Cheng's excuses were being countered one by one, and just as he felt helpless, he suddenly caught a strong scent of perfume that was impossible to ignore.
Not far behind him, the Shangyang Princess was already sneezing from the overwhelming fragrance.
It turned out they had inadvertently wandered into Flower Street and Willow Alley due to their unfamiliarity with the roads of the capital.
Seeing the bustling establishment filled with women in vibrant attire welcoming guests, an idea struck Lo Cheng.
"Your Highness, I truly have urgent matters today and cannot accompany you. I hope you can understand." With that, he calmly walked into Flower House.
Even if the Shangyang Princess was naive, she could not possibly be unaware of what kind of place this was. Looking at the heavily made-up beauties and the men who seemed entranced by them, it was clear this was not a respectable establishment!
What urgent matters could possibly be here? This was an unprofessional excuse! Was his so-called business simply to get rid of her?
Watching Lo Cheng walk straight in and quickly become surrounded by a group of flamboyant women until he vanished from sight, the Shangyang Princess felt anxious. Without thinking twice, she followed him inside.
"This is the newcomer, looking quite beautiful!" As soon as she entered, before Lo Cheng even appeared, the Shangyang Princess was already cornered by a drunken middle-aged man.
Looking at the Drunkard's bloated figure and greasy face, the Shangyang Princess felt a wave of nausea. These men, clearly surrounded by wives and concubines at home, still indulged themselves outside without a care—how shameless!
"Get out of my way!" The Shangyang Princess spoke with disdain, coldly staring at the Drunkard.
Her attitude infuriated the Drunkard: "Bitch, I paid to have some fun, and you dare to give me that look? Are you itching for a beating? Hurry up and apologize to me; serve me well, and maybe I'll forgive you!"
"Oh really? You are quite magnanimous!" The Shangyang Princess's tone dripped with sarcasm. Anyone familiar with the princess would recognize that she was already gathering her energy.
A dignified princess being humiliated by a Pimp like this—if the royal family found out, this Drunkard would be executed without mercy. Disrespecting the royal family was a grave offense.
However, the Drunkard, too intoxicated to remember his own name, was oblivious to the danger he was in.
"Yes! Yes! Don't be scared, miss; I'm not a bad person!" The Drunkard thought that he had frightened the Shangyang Princess and was trying to take advantage of her fear.
"As long as you serve me well, I promise I won't treat you poorly!" The Drunkard pulled out a pouch and waved it in front of the Shangyang Princess. "Just spend one night with me, and all this will be yours!"
The Shangyang Princess smiled slightly, which only made the Drunkard more eager to get closer. She then said, "You want me to serve you? Alright, just wait and see!"
With that, she grabbed whatever she could from the table—jugs and bowls—and hurled them at the Drunkard.
"Do you want to be served like this? Or like this?" As she threw things, the Shangyang Princess maintained her smile, though it was far from gentle.
Caught off guard, the Drunkard not only failed to get close to the beauty he desired but ended up drenched in greasy food and alcohol. The smell around him became overwhelmingly complex, causing those nearby to step back three paces while covering their noses in disgust.
"Bitch! How dare you!" The Drunkard roared at the Shangyang Princess, furious at having lost face in front of everyone.
The Shangyang Princess smashed everything on one table; if it weren't for its weight, she would have lifted it to throw at him.
"I have nothing to be afraid of!" Shangyang Princess sneered, "Open your eyes wide and see clearly, what I dare to do is not just this!" With that, she moved to another table nearby, picked up a bowl of noodles, and dumped it onto the Drunkard's head.
White noodles spilled out of the bowl, cascading down, with a large portion sticking to the Drunkard's scalp, resembling a greasy and ill-fitting wig, which drew laughter from the crowd.
"Hahahahaha!"
This comical scene elicited uproarious laughter, and the patrons inside the establishment lost interest in their own merriment, coming out to witness the spectacle.
"Bitch! Bitch! I'll kill you!" The mocked Drunkard roared in anger, swaying his hefty body as he attempted to grab Shangyang Princess, who nimbly dodged his grasp.
While Shangyang Princess may not possess the same agility as Luo Jingxian, her royal training in archery and horsemanship had kept her in good shape compared to a long-time sedentary fat man. She easily evaded his attack.
However, there was more than just one Pimp in this Flower House.
"Where did this wild girl come from, daring to cause trouble on my turf? Someone grab her!" The commotion attracted the attention of the madam. Seeing the chaos unfolding inside, she immediately ordered her bouncers to apprehend Shangyang Princess.
Naturally, Shangyang Princess would not surrender easily, but outnumbered by her opponents proved challenging. The bouncers were not like the Pimp; their usual work involved capturing and fighting people, giving them ample practical experience. They quickly subdued her.
"Bitch, let's see where you can run now!"
The Drunkard and the Pimp, seeing that they had captured her, approached Shangyang Princess with smug satisfaction.
