What’s Your Gender, Princess? - Chapter 10

10

After enduring until the later half of the night, I also could not resist anymore as I leaned on a pillar and began to fall asleep. Prince Wumin probably had already slept for more than half the day, so he wasnt sleepy. He only instructed: You sleep first. When its time, Ill be leaving and will wake you up. You must be kneeling when you do, or else it wouldnt look like you were doing it.

I nodded: Okay.

I actually slept really peacefully this time, probably because I felt that Prince Wumin could ward off evil spirits, so I was especially at ease. When he woke me up, I slightly opened my eyes, but it was still dark out.

How long did I sleep for? I rub my eyes with a bit of dissatisfaction.

Not even four hours. Prince Wumin said, I need to go now, you should go kneel now.

I nodded: Okay.

He sneakily went out over the window without making the smallest of sound. This scene reminded me of the previous me who had infiltrated the West Yang imperial palace, it was the same

I sat on the ground for most of the night, so my legs were a bit numb. I knelt until the Grand Adviser and them came to get me, and I indeed was unable to stand. When they saw me like that, Id reckon that they really believed that I had kneeled for the entire night. They were all moved to tears and said that I was very loyal.

Even though the Emperorsofficial inner and outer coffinswere quickly being made overnight, they were still not done yet, so the Grand Adviser and them told me to go rest first. This was exactly my intention. I returned to the Heaven Palming Palace and soaked in the basin for a while, and then called for some palace maids to help me hammer my leg. Slowly after that, the soreness and ache in my leg gradually faded. Prince Wumin had also come over and quietly sat to the side while watching me. He didnt say a single thing.

After everyone had left, before I even had time to say something to Prince Wumin, the Grand Adviser and them came back, saying that I had to go look at the funeral items that would be buried with the emperor. I brought Prince Wumin along with me to do so, and it took until the event to almost finish the preparations. The official inner and outer coffins were also finished, so I had to change into the Emperors distinctive funeral clothes and sat in a palanquin going towards the Emperors tomb with a large stack of funeral items andstone figures.

After a bunch of messes later, my head felt like it was going to split open, but it ended up to be quite relaxing for Prince Wumin. When I returned to the Heaven Palming Palace, he wasnt in that little room, rather, he was sitting quite comfortably in the Heaven Palming Palaces first wifes large bed while contently cracking melon seeds between his teeth.

I seriously couldnt vent out my anger. Not caring that he was on the bed, I threw myself directly on the bed and said: Youre looking quite comfortable

Prince Wumin shot me a smile: I am indeed comfortable.

I glared at him: Dont think that I dont hit women!

Prince Wumin moved his face over: Hit me then.

I looked at my own face and was unable to do it. Barely suppressing the fire in my heart and not able to restrain it any longer, I could only bury my head into the blanket to cool down.

Prince Wumin laughed: If one saw the prince of a country throw such a childish tantrum, wouldnt it cause them laugh their head off?

After speakng, he used his hand to pick up a melon seed kernel and put it near my mouth: Eat it.

I looked at him with suspicion: You shouldnt have poisoned this, right?

He laughed weirdly, and then tossed the melon seed kernel in his mouth. He said while chewing on the side: I cant bear to poison my own body to death, just like how you cant bear to hit your own body.

I said: That may not be the case, what if you suddenly go crazy?

Prince Wumin yawned: Did you finish everything?

Mn. I nodded, Today is the first day, tomorrow is the official ascension.

Prince Wumin said: The first thing you should do after ascending the throne is to demote the King of Xiuyis entire family into commoners.

Mn. I understood what it meant to establish ones authority.

Prince Wumin glanced at me: Then lets sleep.

Ah? It took me a while to react, Together?

Prince Wumin yawned again: Its not like we have those kinds of intentions with each other.

Thats true, but it wouldnt look too good.

Prince Wumin was difficult: Then thats not my problem. Im not used to the bed in the little lodge outside, its too hard.

I expressed my understanding: Then Ill tell some servants to help you add an additional ten blankets.

Thats just too hot.

Besides, its also too small, too narrow, and too low He chattered on and on as he fussed until I helplessly lifted the blanket: Just sleep, stop talking

Prince Wumin laughed with contentment and then laid down. As I looked at my own face, I discovered that I wasnt really uncomfortable with it humanitys ability to adapt is truly a bit frightening.

Because I had been really tired these past days, I quickly fell asleep. Because nobody was going to call me up early on the second day, I had a comfortable sleep. When I woke up, the sky was already bright. Right when I was about to get up, something felt a bit wrong

Prince Wumin had already woken up, and was sitting next to the bed, looking at who knows what. Seeing that I was awake, he asked: Youre awake?

I glared at him: Pervert

Prince Wumin had on an unfathomable expression: Why are you calling me names out of nowhere If we were to say who the pervert is between us, you would be the pervert

I bit my lips: Your body

Seeing that I was so stiff, Prince Wumin got it, and coughed: Err, that, normal healthy men would usually wake up with that reaction, err, you

I looked at him with a plaintive expression: Do you have any good ideas yet, its really uncomfortable

Prince Wumin said hesitantly: I usually call for a palace maid

I dont want to! I shook my head as if my life depended on it.

Or, use your right hand

I seriously wanted to cry now: Isnt there a third option? Ill definitely do it!

Then, use your left hand He said somewhat hesitantly.

Prince Wumin said helplessly: Then just leave it like that, itll get better over time. If you really cant take it, take a cold water bath.

Its the cold season, alright I laid down on the bed, Ill just leave it

Prince Wumin nodded his head: Now do you know the pains of being a man?

I was a bit angry: You men are exactly as unbearable as this

Prince Wumin said with a tch: You saying that is just not fair. When you women become emotional, there isnt even a hint of warning before that.

I lifted the blanket and used it to cover my head, I dont want to talk to you anymore!

Prince Wumin laughed softly and then didnt speak anymore

After a while, I felt that the place down there didnt really cool down much, so I exposed my head and looked at Prince Wumin: Prince Wumin, I thought up of a permanent surefire method.

The corner of Prince Wumins mouth slightly curled up: You dont need to tell me, I feel like I wont consent

Well simply make it so that it cant do anything anymore, then when we switch back, well I ignored him and just said it aloud.

Prince Wumin coldly laughed and pointed at himself, which was also my bodys chest, then pointed at me, which was also the lower part of his body, and said: A total of three heads, you have two and I have one. Theyll stand and fall together, do what you like!

I stared blankly for a long while. Only until I felt the heat in my lower body rush to my face did I shriek and shove him away: Stinkin pervert, get lost!!!

Prince Wumin bursted into loud laughter and said quite meaningfully: Lets just get along, shall we? Hahahaha

Im definitely going to find a man!
