The Captivating Crown Prince

Chapter 25.3 — Leng Yu Feng’s Solicitude

“Just taking a walk. The journey ahead is long, so you two should rest early!” Shang Wuxin looked at Leng Yu Feng, who was getting ready to rise. “Rest assured. Bengong knows how far to go and when to stop.”

Although Leng Yu Feng and Huan Mo Che were both extremely anxious, they sat back down after meeting the crown prince’s honest eyes. Nevertheless, Leng Yu Feng still opened his mouth to say, “Crown Prince, please stay close by. We have many soldiers, but countless dangers lurk in this wilderness!”

Shang Wuxin nodded and left. She paid no heed to their worries.

“Yu Feng, you seem to care a lot about the crown prince!” Huan Mo Che queried, knowing that although his best friend was a general and naturally possessed a sense of responsibility, he was not necessarily benevolent.

Since Leng Yu Feng had opened his mouth to warn the crown prince, that meant he held concern for the prince.

However, Huan Mo Che didn’t want his best friend to show the crown prince interest, he…

Leng Yu Feng glanced at the abnormal look on his best friend’s face. “Aren’t you also very attentive to the prince? The crown prince’s character is outstanding. Moreover, we are the crown prince’s taifus[1]. Paying attention to him is our duty! Yet, you seem to care too much about the crown prince.”

[1] “太傅” = The highest official position below the emperor, usually appointed after each new reign. A Grand Tutor’s job is to provide guidance to the emperor.

Despite saying that, Leng Yu Feng knew in his heart that he himself also cared a little more than usual about the crown prince.

Huan Mo Che raised a brow, and his expression reverted back to a gentle and warm one. He did not say any more because even he him couldn’t fathom his own thoughts.

Shang Wuxin arrived at a lake and in a soft and refined voice, like the sound of ruffling bamboo, said: “You’ve already followed me for so long, why not come out?”

A man walked out from between the trees. He wore a red robe and had his black hair tied loosely behind his back, which defined his slender face even more. If one were to say that his arched brows gave him an air of haughtiness, then another could argue that the perfect curve of his nose completely dissolved the haughtiness.

“Ah, you discover me every time. Really, that’s not fun at all!” Han Xuan Hao walked to Shang Wuxin’s side. He looked at the figure next to him and felt a great deal of satisfaction, but seeing the youth’s height only reach up to his chest and his overly thin body, Han Xuan Hao abruptly felt unsatisfied.

The past few days, he’d been pondering over why he cared so much about the crown prince and why his feelings seemed to resemble romantic affection. That’s right–he was sure that he liked the crown prince. As for why, he didn’t know.

Han Xuan Hao was an easygoing person, so now that he realized his feelings for the crown prince, he decided to stay by the crown prince’s side and figure out exactly what his feelings were.

Oh, and someone mentioned that I should make a character list. I’ll do that after my time frees up, don’t worry~

Reminder: This novel is a reverse-harem, so for those asking about who the male lead is, there are 5 male leads. Han Xuan Hao, I guess, is the big boss.
