The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else - Chapter 76.1

I’m a Professional at Inner Palace Fights

Li Chong couldn’t help but laugh at this and poked Lu Shijin’s forehead. “Do you know what spending the night means?”

“This younger brother does!” Lu Shijin rubbed his forehead unhappily, saying proudly, “Wang Xi told his younger brother that it means sleeping together, right?”

Li Chong nodded, his tone affectionate and helpless, “… More or less.”

“Oh right, this younger brother wants to sleep with emperor-gege tonight, please? Did you forget how we slept together everyday back then?” Lu Shijin pouted and said sadly, “But ever since you became emperor, you lived with Mother in this palace, while I have to live outside, do you not want me anymore?”

“Nonsense.” Li Chong rubbed Lu Shijin’s head, “You’ll always be family. Zhen and mother will never leave you.”

“Then why can the new wife sleep with you, but this younger brother can’t?” Lu Shijin seemed to suddenly realize something, “Oh, is this the idiom Wang Xi told me about before, what was it… hoes before bros?”

“… What did that eunuch beside you teach you?”

Poor Wang Xi, who was trembling in front of the door, suddenly felt a cold wind at the back of his neck.

“I don’t care, Jin-er wants to sleep with emperor-gege.” Lu Shijin relied on his current character, who wasn’t mentally developed, to plop down on a chair, acting like nothing would be able to move him from there.

Just then, an eunuch entered with a reminder, “Informing the emperor, the imperial favor carriage has arrived in front of the palace. Beauty Liu is waiting on it.” The eunuch glanced at Lu Shijin and asked with embarrassment, “Should she continue waiting?”

Lu Shijin crossed his arms, looking at Li Chong with anger. If Li Chong dared to chase him out and spend the night with that Beauty Liu, he couldn’t guarantee his next actions.

Li Chong didn’t know whether to cry or laugh when he saw Lu Shijin’s actions.

However, his foolish brother’s intervention did save him from the situation. He had just been thinking about what he should do when Beauty Liu got here, since he wasn’t the actual Li Chong.

Now that Lu Shijin was here, he had the perfect reason to send the woman away without being OOC.

Especially with what a bro-con Li Chong was, he would always place his brother first.

Li Chong waved his hand, “It’s fine, send her back, she doesn’t have to spend the night tonight.”

The eunuch was shocked and looked at Li Chong, then hurriedly lowered his head, “Very well, this servant will obey right now.”

The eunuch felt a bit of pity for Liu Zhenhuan. Right after being conferred Beauty and being sent to spend the night, she was rejected without even going in. for a concubine, it was a huge embarrassment!

But it also made him realize that the most important person to the emperor was this prince!

If this was spread, Beauty Liu would probably die of embarrassment!

“Are you satisfied now?” Li Chong asked Lu Shijin after the eunuch left.

Lu Shijin nodded happily, walking towards the bedroom, “Great, I can listen to emperor-gege’s stories again!”

“Come on, go wash up first. Your clothes are all dirty, don’t bring that onto Zhen’s bed.” Li Chong tugged Lu Shijin back and ordered a eunuch to the side. “Bring prince Ning to wash up, take good care of him.”

“Yes.” The eunuch bowed and walked over to Lu Shijin, “Prince Jun, please follow this servant.”

Lu Shijni followed the eunuch to the bath. He originally thought that there would just be a large wooden basin, not a huge pool.

What a luxurious and debauched way of living. Only the emperor would use this bath, yet they made it so large. A single bath would waste so much water.

He was still sighing at the extravagance when two maids suddenly appeared. One began untying Lu Shijin’s belt, the other loosening his collar. They were so casual with it that Lu Shijin almost didn’t react.

“What are you doing?!” Lu Shijin hurriedly held up his collar and took two steps back, not letting those maids touch him.

The maids knew about Lu Shijin’s mental state and didn’t take him as an actual prince. They bowed and giggled, “Prince~ these servants are going to help you wash up and undress.”

“I, no, this prince! This prince doesn’t need your care! Leave!” Lu Shijin couldn’t stand having people watch and help him wash, especially not two women! What was wrong with these ancient people!

The two maids met each other’s gaze and ignored Lu Shijin’s order.

If palace maids couldn’t receive the emperor’s favor, they would be let out of the palace when they reached twenty five years old.

At that time, they would have to marry some random farmer and live out the rest of their lives working hard.

All the women in the palace wanted to improve their standing and be the phoenix that climbed the top branch in an instant.

But after the new emperor ascended the throne, not only did he rarely visit the inner palace, he rarely even had maids serve it. He didn’t give them any chance of gaining his favor.

But this Prince Jun was different. He was an idiot. If they could get with him once and enter his mansion, even as a concubine, they would be set for life.

The two maids naturally didn’t want to let go of such a good opportunity, so they tried even harder to get on Lu Shijin, fighting to strip him.

Lu Shijin dodged from left to right, acting like a beast fighting to escape. His awkward appearance made the maids giggle.

“Prince, don’t run away, how can you wash up without taking off your clothes?”

“Are you embarrassed? This is the rule in the palace, these servants also serve the emperor like this.”

“Y-You all scram for this prince!”

Lu Shijin’s angry shout drew the attention of a eunuch outside, “What is it? What happened?”

“You!” Lu Shijin pointed at the eunuch and ordered, “Bring the emperor over!”

The eunuch didn’t dare to not obey, and quickly brought Li Chong over. The two maids also realized that they did something they shouldn’t have, and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
