Chapter 133: Chapter 133

This Jun Ning is clearly twins with Old Seventeen, and they are both princes.

A prince is a prince, why pretend to be a princess?

Now everyone looks at him strangely, and the Astronomical Bureau even claims he’s a calamity to the world.

Just for the Emperor’s favor?

That could cost him his life.

It’s really not worth it.

The Crown Prince shook his head and started helping Jun Ning undress.

"Little guy, to prevent you from running away, you’re sleeping with me tonight. But I, the Crown Prince, have a thing for cleanliness. You must be clean before getting on my bed, or else you’ll sleep on the floor."

The Crown Prince would not make exceptions for Jun Ning just because she’s small.

Jun Ning refused, "You, you, you, don’t undress me, let go."

The Crown Prince was unmoved and continued with his actions.

Jun Ning insisted again, "Men and women should not touch each other."

The Crown Prince paid no heed to her words, stripping her bare in a few moves.

Adults and children naturally have a huge strength disparity, and Jun Ning couldn’t resist, ending up completely uncovered.

After shooting a glare at the Crown Prince, Jun Ning quickly covered her private parts.

But the Crown Prince didn’t seem interested in looking at her, continuing to undress himself. When he was down to just one pair of pants, he picked up the reluctant Jun Ning and unceremoniously tossed her into the bath barrel.

Jun Ning was small, and the water in the barrel was too deep. Being suddenly thrown like that, she hit the edge of the barrel, and her whole body ached, but she didn’t have time to cry out in pain before struggling to stand up.

During her struggle, the Crown Prince noticed the features of her being a little girl.

The Crown Prince’s first child was also a daughter.

Being his first child, she was especially cherished and was mostly brought up by him and the Crown Princess Consort personally. She’s about the same age as Jun Ning now. So, how could he not recognize a girl’s features?

She, she, she... wasn’t lying after all?

She really is a girl! Really his sister!

What were his subordinates doing? How come they couldn’t discover the truth?

It took a while for the Crown Prince, shocked, to accept the reality.

He slapped his forehead hard and said, "Sister, brother just offended you, brother shouldn’t have taken off your clothes, brother apologizes, sorry, brother will leave now."

With that, the Crown Prince put on his clothes and hurriedly called in a maidservant from outside to assist Jun Ning in taking a bath. Then he wrote a letter overnight, having someone send it to the Crown Prince Mansion to be personally delivered to the Emperor by the Crown Princess Consort the next day.

The Crown Prince, being the Crown Prince, was shocked but only for a brief moment. After sending the letter, he returned to normal.

He had the assistant open another room, and after bathing and changing into clean clothes, he went to the room where Jun Ning was.

On the way, he kept praying that the little girl wouldn’t run away when he wasn’t looking.

Luckily, the little girl didn’t run. She had already been helped to take a bath and had changed into clean clothes.

Compared to earlier, the Crown Prince was very cautious.

Although he was in his early twenties and had a daughter, daughters and sisters were different, and he couldn’t treat his sister the same way he treated his daughter.

He put away the stern look he usually showed to his daughter and carefully asked Jun Ning, "Sister, are you hungry?"

Jun Ning rolled her eyes at him, saying fiercely, "I’m full of anger because of you!" Humph, he actually saw her little body, how infuriating.

The Crown Prince didn’t take the fact that he saw his sister’s small body to heart. First, he’s her brother, and as an elder brother, he has the mindset of a guardian. Second, he has a daughter, whom he himself raised, so seeing doesn’t feel strange or inappropriate.

His only feeling towards his sister right now is guilt; he shouldn’t have stripped her clothes.

If this gets out, what a scandal!

The Crown Prince let out a deep sigh.

"If you’re not hungry, then sister should sleep, right?"

There was only one bed in the room, so the Crown Prince offered it to Jun Ning, bringing several quilts from the next room to make a bed on the floor.

Jun Ning was indeed tired. Seeing the Crown Prince didn’t have any ulterior motives and purely treated her as his little sister, she didn’t dwell on it for too long and fell asleep quickly. Read complete versıon only at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵

When she woke up, the Crown Prince had already brought food into the room, waiting for her to wake up and eat.

"Come over and wash your face first." The Crown Prince tested the temperature of the freshly drawn water.

It wasn’t cold, suitable for washing.

Jun Ning glanced at the food and walked to the washbasin.

She reached out her hand, just about to wash herself when the Crown Prince took the lead. He carefully washed her face and hands, a skillful technique, showing he had done this often.

Thinking about how the Crown Prince’s first child was a daughter, Jun Ning wasn’t surprised.

Seeing this sudden change in the Crown Prince’s attitude, Jun Ning belatedly realized something.

Ever since the Crown Prince found out she was a girl, he hadn’t been rough towards her, but rather patient and attentive, treating her as if she were his own daughter.

Sure enough, the Crown Prince said, "When at the Crown Prince Mansion, I often helped Jing Shu wash her face and comb her hair. I can also braid your little girl’s double loops."

Saying that, the Crown Prince helped Jun Ning comb out her hair, which had become tangled from sleeping.

He braided it into little girl’s double loops, doing a good job, with straight parts and no loose ends.

Clearly, he was used to doing this, unmistakably treating her like a daughter.

Unexpectedly, such a shameless person like the Crown Prince could be so meticulous with his children.

Surprised, Jun Ning’s attitude wasn’t as poor as last night.

After they finished eating, they talked about the recent child abductions happening in the Imperial City.

The incident had caused widespread panic. The Crown Prince personally investigated the matter but had no results. He went to the Black Market yesterday hoping for leads but was thwarted by those in black clothes.

The Crown Prince planned to visit again tonight but didn’t intend to take Jun Ning with him.

It was too dangerous. If something happened to Jun Ning, the Emperor might strip him of his position as Crown Prince.

Besides, what could Jun Ning, a child, do there? She couldn’t help him anyway.

As for the words Jun Ning said last night that gave him new insights, the Crown Prince had already dismissed them due to her identity as a child.

"Sister, someone will come to pick you up shortly," the Crown Prince said, "You should go back to the palace and be with the Emperor. Don’t believe those rumors about being a disaster star; the Emperor won’t listen to them and harm you. Trust in the Emperor."

Moreover, now that Jun Ning’s gender was clear, she wasn’t disguising herself as male; she was a girl.

That Astronomical Bureau was just talking nonsense.
