Chapter 26: Eunuch 26 (Unfortunate Couple)

Eunuch 26 (Unfortunate Couple)

Jiang He considerately cleared out space for the Fourth Prince and Character: Yang Gonggong to mess around.

In this palace that felt like a prison, besides the emperor, everyone lived oppressively, leading to many things happening frequently—between men and women, men and men, or women and women, anything could occur.

Jiang He had once discovered the mutual affection between two concubines in the old emperor's harem.

Those two concubines were said to be from the same hometown, supporting each other in this man-eating palace, and their relationship was famously good.

They were assigned to a palace; because they were over twenty, the old emperor despised their age and hadn't seen them in years. They also didn't care about the old emperor—once the palace doors closed, they lived their own little lives, needless to say, very moist.

Since the old emperor never summoned them, they were even happier to have only each other.

Since becoming a night wanderer, hardly anything in this palace could escape Jiang He's notice.

He wasn't particularly surprised that Character: Yang Gonggong had defected to the Fourth Prince.

Character: Yang Gonggong, this kind of eunuch, isn't particularly favored by the palace's masters; working the same job in the Flower Bureau with a monthly stipend, how could he possibly have so much silver to spend on fruit-dew wine?

Jiang He jumped out the window and said to the System Cat crouching there: "System, pay attention to the time, and call me again after it ends!"

He wanted to check on Little Character: Mingzhi washing his eyes, and by the way educate him: if he grew up learning these royal men's ways, he'd directly break his third leg!

The System couldn't help but hop about, "You're afraid of hurting your eyes, but as a system I'm not afraid of hurting eyes?"

Dog host, as a system under a thousand years old, it's still a baby!

Jiang He chuckled at it, coldly saying: "A baby that's browsed all the major time-space porn sites and even wrote a comparative paper?"

The System Cat jumped about: "That was for researching the diversity of human species!"

As a high-tech system, it truly couldn't understand why humans are so enthusiastic about this when not for reproduction; it approached it with a scientific spirit, and even if it were lustful, it would be directed toward the System Sister—a round, pink metallic ball-shaped System Sister, which is its favorite.

The System bickered with the host while keeping an eye on the situation in the room.

"Host, you really have bad taste." The System couldn't help but complain, "To mess with the Fourth Prince, you actually spent points to buy Little Gold Water."

The name Little Gold Water was naturally chosen to pass review; its original name is similar to a certain well-known... brother.

A raspy voice from outside the door sounded: "Who told me my luck is good? I just happened to hit a big discount at the mall, and Little Gold Water is actually only one-tenth the price!"

He had originally wanted to mess with the Fourth Prince, but this situation also allowed him to conveniently pair up Little Gold Water.

After all, the Fourth Prince might later be unable to get it up with either men or women; you can't let a eunuch without the proper tools do the job, so it's better to let the Fourth Prince enjoy himself one more time—afterward he won't be able to.

If Character: Yang Gonggong dares to scheme against him, he must be prepared to be counter-schemed; this is also him reaping what he sowed.

It is said that as a youth, the Fourth Prince was never well-behaved, playing wildly; he once had homoerotic fantasies about a handsome Fourth Prince. At that time, the Fourth Prince was furious and chopped up anyone who imagined his butt, feeding them to dogs.

Even if he doesn't distinguish between men and women, he's still a burly man, a proper prince—who could make him submit? Don't even think about it!

The System couldn't help but sigh, "Host, you're getting more and more wicked."

In a feudal society, those nobles' practices aren't feudal at all; even among commoners, sworn brothers are supposedly not few, and nobles chasing trends are even more, but it's basically the same as above—if the Fourth Prince were seen as the bottom...

Jiang He chuckled inwardly; if your voice had a little less schadenfreude, I'd believe it.

He sat beside Little Character: Mingzhi, pointed out his homework, and rebutted the System: "Nonsense, I'm obviously too kind, letting the Fourth Prince see life from a different angle."

When the Fourth Prince and Character: Yang Gonggong woke up, it was nothing but a mess of chicken feathers.

As for Jiang He, he had long gone to the Flower Bureau to work, delivering flowers to the Noble Consort's palace, avoiding the two people in the room so they had no target to vent their anger on.

Although he doesn't distinguish between men and women, he has higher standards for men, preferring those who are young and delicate-looking, rather than someone like Character: Yang Gonggong, big and thick.

The Fourth Prince coldly stared at Character: Yang Gonggong; at this moment he even felt like killing.

Especially seeing Character: Yang Gonggong prostrated there, still unable to hide his bulky frame, he felt utterly disgusted.

"Is this what you did?! With that appearance of yours, you actually still want to climb into this prince's bed?"

At this moment Character: Yang Gonggong was even more incredulous than the Fourth Prince, especially as his bodily abnormality told him he had endured a nightmare no man could bear.

He is, after all, a proper man—how could he submit beneath a man?

Even though he is a gelded eunuch, he had always wanted to find a gentle, beautiful palace maid to eat with, not a man… but he never expected the Fourth Prince to be so indiscriminately hungry, mistaking him for someone else and crawling into his bed…

But Character: Yang Gonggong didn't dare say that—what fault could the master have? The fault lies with the servant who does evil deeds.

Although the Fourth Prince wanted to explode in rage, this is the palace, not his mansion; even if he wanted to kill, he couldn't do it openly.

He gave Character: Yang Gonggong a cold glance, face dark as iron, and flicked his sleeves away.

Seeing the Fourth Prince storm off in anger, Character: Yang Gonggong couldn't help but go limp, collapsing to the ground, his heart filled with despair.

He also didn't know how things turned out like this—clearly the Fourth Prince should have gone to Little River Child's room, so why did he end up in his own room instead?

Moreover, the incense he had ordered was the most expensive bought from the Chrysanthemum Pavilion, used to arouse passion, said to make one bewildered and delirious—could it be that the Fourth Prince mistook himself for Little River Child?

Character: Yang Gonggong felt dazed all day, and had someone request sick leave for him.

Jiang He revealed an embarrassed smile and said apologetically, "Character: Yang Gonggong, are you still okay? Last night you… I never expected that you and the Fourth Prince would actually have such interest, so I went elsewhere to squeeze in a night, making room for you."

Fortunately, the Fourth Prince feels nauseous at the touch of an adult woman, only able to be with women by taking medicine; fortunately his male pride forbids him from taking medicine, otherwise it would be her turn to feel nauseous.

The Fourth Prince's consort arrogantly beat someone to a pulp and swaggered away.

As for why she didn't choose to simply bear the Fourth Prince's child...

Character: Yang Gonggong is afraid of death; before the blade falls, he still hopes to live—if he outright revealed the Fourth Prince's intent, people might learn that the Fourth Prince has acted against the palace eunuchs.

By then, whether the newlywed prince's consort could turn a blind eye like her is uncertain.

Later she discovered that although the Fourth Prince also liked women, he only liked young girls, and moreover he liked to take the dry route not the water route, simply disgusting to the extreme.

After being tormented all night, even though he was big and sturdy, he couldn't go work.

Character: Yang Gonggong originally had his male self-esteem wounded, and having offended the Fourth Prince, he knew he could die silently in the Place: Inner Palace at any moment, and was about to bluntly reveal the Fourth Prince's purpose, dragging Jiang He down with him.

No, the Fourth Prince should still care about heirs; the imperial bloodline must not be mixed, she needs to think of a way to make the Fourth Prince believe the child in her belly is his.

"Not interested in me, but interested in men?" the Fourth Prince's consort said with a sneer, "Your sympathy is useless; today this consort will beat you—what can you do about it!"

The Fourth Prince's consort was not frightened by his dark face; thinking of the years of humiliation after marriage, she gave a cold laugh and said fearlessly, "If you have the ability, Your Highness, go complain to the emperor, saying I beat all the male companions you keep!"

Character: Yang Gonggong's scattered spirit instantly gathered; dragging his body, he opened the door, his eyes gloomily fixed on Jiang He.

Character: Yang Gonggong choked up on those words, feeling awful, and inwardly roared, "Who has this kind of interest?!"

Just arrived at the mansion, he heard a piercing wail.

So afraid of death, where does he get the courage to scheme against people?

Everything was going poorly; the Fourth Prince was filled with anger, and at this moment any little thing could make him explode.

"Character: Yang Gonggong, what's wrong?" Jiang He asked with a smile, "What do you want to say?"

"Character: Yang Gonggong, you really want to say it here?" Jiang He reminded him.

What nonsense, a male favorite gaining a man's favor, actually strutting proudly in front of her, the main wife, to show off? This isn't just losing face for a man; it's pure pretending to be a woman!

Feng Ge is her current beloved; although just a guard, he is strong and vigorous, with a heroic bearing; if she weren't reluctant to leave the mansion's wealth and glory, she would elope with him.

A prince cannot be without a wife; if the Fourth Prince dares to divorce her, the emperor will certainly make him remarry.

"Granny, don't worry; I understand in my heart, those boy servants, the Fourth Prince has recently grown tired of them, he won't stay angry for long." the Fourth Prince's consort said while doing her makeup before the mirror, "Come over to do my hair and makeup; tonight I'm going to see Feng Ge."

The Fourth Prince's consort sneered, "Even if everyone in the capital divorces, it's not our turn! Even if he divorces me, he'll still have to marry another woman back; might as well put up with it—at least I don't have to care about his bird business!"

He coldly said, "Little He, don't try to fool me with words; honestly tell you, the Fourth Prince……"

"Little He, where have you gone?" he asked gloomily.

Come to think of it, when she first married in, wasn't she considered old when she just came of age?

Even if he had to die, he'd drag someone down with him.

Who would have thought his words would provoke her, causing her to pause again.

The beautiful Fourth Prince's consort glanced at him and sneered, "What, Your Highness, are you feeling sorry?"

Besides, it doesn't matter if they don't elope; the Fourth Prince feels nauseous at the touch of a normal woman, he goes after men, so he doesn't have to worry about fathering an illegitimate child.

By then, if the Fourth Prince suffers a setback, he doesn't know what will happen to the Fourth Prince, but Character: Yang Gonggong knows he himself will surely die a miserable death.

Until evening, Jiang He returned.

The Fourth Prince's face was full of sinister menace; he threatened in a low voice, "I warn you, better restrain yourself; I'll turn a blind eye to your keeping lovers, on the condition that you don't interfere in my affairs!"

The Fourth Prince's consort glared angrily, "I'm not beating them because they're favored; I can't stand their smug attitude when they run up to me!"

At this moment they were all beaten to a bloody pulp, each with tear-filled eyes looking at him.

Eunuchs also serve the emperor; even if the old emperor doesn't have that preference, it's not a reason for the Fourth Prince to attack eunuchs.

If things go well, maybe she can bear a child with Feng Ge and pin it on the Fourth Prince; anyway he doesn't care about being cuckolded……

Who would have thought he's a coward who fears death.

"What are you doing?" the Fourth Prince snapped angrily.

He gave Jiang He a gloomy look, then turned and went into the room.

Character: Yang Gonggong's expression changed repeatedly; finally he squeezed out, "Nothing, Little He, you're great!"

"Since the consort already knows the truth, why bother beating his boy servants to this state?" Granny wondered.

The Fourth Prince flew into a rage, "They're all innocent! You're angry that I neglected you; why not reflect on your own appearance instead of taking it out on others? I have no interest in your face!"

As the saying goes, one burst of effort, then decline, then exhaustion.

Hehe, how many women in this world like a stir-shit stick?

Jiang He snorted, still thinking Character: Yang Gonggong would have the backbone to expose this for the sake of his male dignity.

The Fourth Prince kept many boy servants, all of them without exception delicate-skinned and fresh-looking.

She also wanted to be a good woman and good wife, but her husband had no interest in her from the start; what could she do?

The Fourth Prince returned to his mansion in anger.

The Fourth Prince's face was dark as iron, especially when he saw the Fourth Prince's consort ordering people to press down his recently favored few boy servants and beat them with boards in the courtyard—he was about to explode.

The Fourth Prince's consort shrank back a little, then declared righteously, "I am a woman, and I also long for a normal marital relationship."

The consort's attendant granny was very worried, "Consort, if the Fourth Prince gets too angry and thinks of divorcing……"
