icipate in the competition, it was really a regretful thing. If you were there, I believe the team could have created miracles." 。"Standing on top, Nishino said softly, "I think winning the championsh...No ads!

"I'll remember all the rules you teach me, or else when that one gets angry, you'll have a bad time."

A man dressed in eunuch attire, with white powder on his face, spoke in a shrill, treacherous voice, reprimanding seven or eight young boys kneeling before him.

These are all brought in from outside the palace. They have been carefully selected for their temperament and qualifications, ensuring only the best are chosen.

Ning Shu knelt on the ground. He had been in the palace for over a month, and had learned many of the palace rules. Thinking about tomorrow, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Lingling told him that the objectives in this world were a bit difficult to achieve, so he should be careful.

Ning Shu couldn't help but purse her lips. As a person from modern times, she knew the imperial palace was a treacherous place, especially after more than a month of seeing and hearing things within its walls, her heart became increasingly uneasy.

The gentle young man knelt on the ground, his beautiful green hair flowing around him.

Li Huai'de had noticed Ning Shu for a long time. When they first met, he was amazed by her appearance. He initially thought that Liu Sui already looked quite good, but he didn't expect there to be someone even better than him.

That was half a month ago, Li Huai de noticed that the boy had become much quieter. He would always lower his head and eyes, never arguing or competing. Every time, he would just listen with his head down.

Only then did Li Huai De notice the other party, who possessed a figure that looked quite good.

His heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but look up.

The young man lowered his head, hesitating for a moment. Finally, he slowly lifted his head, looking like a god, but a god that was too sacred to touch. The boy's beauty was otherworldly, especially his eyes, which captivated anyone who looked at them.

I just felt a warmth in my heart.

Too captivating to look away.

Li Huai de was instantly interested. He had a penchant for this sort of thing. In private, he would often select a few good-looking young eunuchs to serve him.

At first glance of the young boy, he immediately developed a plan.

Li Huai'de also understood that this was the prince's prospective companion. He couldn't move, but even so, he couldn't sleep at night. Just thinking about that face made his heart itch.

I wish I could hug them and spoil them rotten.

Ning Shu wasn't a fool; he naturally noticed Li Huai-de's gaze. Although he didn't know why this eunuch kept staring at him, he sensed the ill intent in the other's eyes.

This made him feel very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but avert his gaze slightly.

Li Huai said: "Alright, we'll stop here for today. You all rest well, and tomorrow I will send you there. If you aren't chosen, then weigh your future days yourselves. Sent out of the palace or rising to great heights, think carefully."

After he finished speaking, he withdrew.

Eight or nine attendant candidates finally got up from the ground.

And after a while, a palace maid came in and whispered, "Young Master Ning, please come out with me. Eunuch Li wants to see you about something."

Liusu, who had originally been standing still, immediately turned her gaze toward the sound.

Ning Shu couldn't help but be taken aback. He hadn't originally wanted to go. But he didn't want to offend Li Huai De at this crucial moment either. After much deliberation, he still followed the palace maid out.

Lee Wai-de was waiting for him around the corner.

Seeing him approach, I croaked in a treacherous voice: "I know you are among the most outstanding of the candidates."

Ning Shu couldn't help but fall silent for a while before saying, "Sir Li is indeed highly praised."

Li Huai'de was tickled by the soft, tender voice of the young man. He couldn't help but reach out his hand: "Young master, I have always believed in you. To be a prince's companion tutor is something many people would fight tooth and nail for."

This companion, might also be a position, or even two positions. But as long as you speak up, I'll make sure you become the Prince's companion.

Ning Shu was startled, he dodged repeatedly and quickly said, "Li Gonggong."

Li Huai'de's face was quite grim. He flicked his sleeve and let out a cold snort: "I've extended an olive branch to you, but since you refuse to accept it, don't blame me for being impolite."

"If you're willing to change your mind, wait for me at my palace tonight. I'll give you one last chance."

After he finished speaking, his gaze lingered on the boy's beautiful face for a moment before he turned and left.

It seemed inevitable.

Ning Shu only then understood what Li Gonggong felt towards him. He was somewhat taken aback, but when he thought of the other party's words just now, he couldn't help but clench his fists tightly and then turned back to the palace.

If Li Huai-de thought he would submit, he was wrong.

Liu Sui looked at him with a cold gaze and then said, "What did Li Gonggong ask you to do"

Ning Shu opened her mouth and casually made up an excuse.

Liù, concealing the mockery in her eyes, turned away.

These several candidate companions, naturally, slept in a palace.

As night deepened, everyone thought of the next day and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

The Prince's Attendant sounds very imposing and prosperous. In reality, this is the palace after all, accompanying the ruler is like being with a tiger, let alone the Crown Prince who is the future king.

Especially when they heard rumors about the prince from others, it would be a lie to say they weren't afraid.

"Is the Prince really as ruthless and bloodthirsty as the rumors say"

"I heard the Crown Prince is as beautiful as a god. I wonder if that's true"

They whispered to each other, a flicker of hope in their eyes. Perhaps the Crown Prince wasn't as terrible as the rumors suggested. After all, rumors were just rumors.

"The prince has never had a consort, he... could it be possible that he likes men"

One of the candidate companions said somewhat bashfully.

Ning Shu closed his eyes, unaware of why so many thoughts were swirling in their heads. He heard a slight noise from beside him and couldn't help but open his eyes.

Only to see Liu Sui tiptoed up.

...while others did not notice.

Liu Sui first glanced around, then quietly slipped out through a side door on the other side of the main hall.

Ning Shu couldn't help but take a look for a while.

He waited for a long time, but Willow didn't come back.

After about an hour or two, Ning Shu slept in a daze. He suddenly heard footsteps coming back from the side door. He opened his eyes and saw Liu Sui come in from the side door.

The clothes on their body are a bit messy.

He couldn't help but glance.

While Liu Sui was sharp-eyed and saw that someone hadn't gone to sleep in bed, he saw Ning Shu lying there. He turned his head to look at him, then jumped in fright, and stammered, "What are you looking at me for"

Ning Shu said it was nothing, then closed her eyes.

He wasn't interested in where Liu Sui had gone, in this palace. The more he pretended not to know anything, the longer he would live.

The next morning.

Li Huai'de came over. He glanced at Ning Shu, his eyes filled with a hint of anger and resentment.

Ning Shu probably knew he didn't go yesterday, which made Li Gonggong angry.

I couldn't help but avert my gaze, avoiding their eyes.

"Li Huai De saw this and sneered, “Today is the day we go see the Prince. You all had better perform well for me. If you anger the Prince, I won’t take responsibility for your heads.”

They passed countless palaces along the way, though those were merely common sights within the imperial palace.

Then they stopped before a magnificent and lavish palace.

Li Huaide's expression became respectful out of courtesy, and he brushed the dust off his clothes before going in to request an audience.

After a while, he came out and let Ning Shu and several other potential companions in.

Several attendants, their legs trembling slightly, entered the palace. The palace was grand and spacious. Even the floor was paved with smooth white marble and soft carpets. Everywhere one looked, there was a dazzling display of gold and splendor.

All the descriptions show how noble and esteemed the prince is.

They didn't dare to raise their eyes to look.

Even Ning Shu, he didn't dare to raise his head. Afraid of offending the Crown Prince, and then his head wouldn't be safe.

"Is this the companion you found for me"

A voice came over.

However, it was like jade, a bit low-pitched, but with an indescribable coldness and detachment.

Ning Shu couldn't help but feel a tightening in her chest.

He thought of the rumors about the prince, and couldn't help but think that they might not be unfounded.

At least for now, this master doesn't seem like an easy one to serve.

Li Huai De didn't dare to be even slightly negligent. No matter how imposing he was outside, in front of the Crown Prince, he was like a dog, immediately kneeling down and tremblingly saying: "Yes, Crown Prince. These are all carefully selected by this humble servant, please take a look."

The boy sitting in place, playing with the luminous pearl in his hand, possessed a face that was as beautiful as a fairy. However, his eyebrows and eyes were too deep-set. Even at such a young age, there was an indescribable bloodlust emanating from him. A slight curl of his thin lips...

He wasn't even sitting up, just lifting an eyelid and saying, "All of you, lift your faces and let me have a look."

Hearing this, the young attendants all cautiously lifted their faces. When they saw the prince's face, they couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

They had long heard that the Crown Prince was as beautiful as a fairy, which was well-known.

I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes, only to find that it was even more shocking than the rumors.

But seeing the Prince displeased, he said, "What are you looking at me for"

He lowered his eyes, a hint of mockery flickering in the corner: "Could it be that you wish to replace this luminous pearl and let me play with your two paltry fish eyes"ling said: "It wasn't mentioned in detail, but this girl really is the first ray of light in Elder Ji's life!"Ning Shudao: "Can I ask where she is now"Lingling said, “Okay, host. I’m opening permissio...
