Chapter 457: A Puppy

Huo Qing had never felt much attraction towards women. If not for that, he would definitely visit the inner palace which was filled with beauties more often.
However, now he was feeling an unsuppressable and uncontrollable desire. Even though he felt pleasure, he also felt embarrassed, so he was very conflicted.
Ning Shu slept quite well that night and woke up very refreshed. The moment she left the bedroom, the little milkbun, Huo Chengwang, threw himself into Ning Shu’s arms while carrying something. He rubbed himself against Ning Shu cutely and said happily, “Imperial Mother, is this puppy for this subject son?”
“Yes, this puppy is a present for you.” Ning Shu sat down and looked at the puppy Huo Chengwang was carrying. This puppy was only about a month old and had very soft fur.
Ning Shu patted the stool next to her and had Huo Chengwang sit down. Huo Chengwang carefully sat down while holding the puppy. Ning Shu looked at the puppy as she said, “The little fox got injured last night and won’t be able to play with you anymore, so just let this puppy keep you company. But in the future, not only will you have to study, you’ll also have to take care of this puppy. Puppies get dirty easily so you’ll have to frequency give it baths.”
“The little fox got injured? Is it severe?” asked Huo Chengwang worriedly.
Ning Shu replied mildly, “It’s not severe, it just injured its leg and won’t be able to walk for the time being. You shouldn’t go disturb its rest. Your Imperial Father won’t let you see the little fox, so don’t go bother it for the time being.”
“This subject son will remember.” Huo Chengwang nodded. “This subject son will listen to Imperial Mother.”
“Good child. Have breakfast with Imperial Mother, alright?” said Ning Shu. Huo Chengwang was pretty adorable and he seemed to still carry a milky scent.
Huo Chengwang sat down next to Ning Shu and Ning Shu got some food for him. Huo Chengwang hastily said, “Thank you, Imperial Mother.”
He also knew his manners. Ning Shu smiled.
Huo Chengwang picked up a steamed bun with his chopsticks and placed it next to the puppy’s mouth, but the puppy only licked at it. Ning Shu said, “The puppy’s too small right now and can’t eat these things. In a bit, make some thin porridge for the puppy. Is it troublesome? Does Chengwang regret things now?”
Huo Chengwang was afraid that Ning Shu would take the puppy away and hastily said, “Imperial Mother, this subject son will definitely take good care of this puppy!”
After breakfast, Ning Shu started rubbing medicinal power on the puppy to kill any bugs that were on it. Huo Chengwang also helped out and got his hands covered with the powder.
“Chengwang, he’s a little life, so you have to take good care of him. Since you’ve chosen him, you have a responsibility towards him, got it?” exhorted Ning Shu.
“This subject son understands. This subject son will definitely take good care of him.” Huo Chengwang’s face was flushed with happiness and he acted like a sweet spoiled child again. “Imperial Mother, you’re really the best! This subject son will definitely study hard and take good care of the puppy.”
“Alright, go.” Ning Shu patted Huo Chengwang’s shoulder, then exhorted Huo Chengwang’s wet nurse to make sure that the little prince didn’t get scratched by the puppy.
Once Huo Chengwang left, Qing Zhu curtsied towards Ning Shu and said, “Your Imperial Highness, the highnesses from each palace have come to greet you.”
“Announce them.” It was time to see these women.
Ning Shu smoothed out her wide sleeves, then walked out from the side palace into the main palace. The moment she walked in, she was blinded by the assortment of women. There were ones of every type—beautiful, seductive, and pure. Soft fragrances filled the air. This very room was a sensation.
“We concubines pay our respects to Your Imperial Highness and wishes Your Imperial Highness great fortune and health.” The consorts and concubines stood up to curtsy to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu looked at these beautiful women and inwardly sighed that they were seriously too beautiful.
“Rise,” said Ning Shu mildly. The moment Ning Shu said this, a woman suddenly said, “Your Imperial Highness, His Majesty stayed in Noble Consort Xuan’s palace last night.”
“Oh…” Ning Shu’s expression remained unconcerned, but she was shocked. The little fox had been injured last night. Huo Qing hadn’t kept the little fox company and had actually gone to sleep with someone?
Hadn’t he been restraining his desires? He had already gone so many months without tumbling with any consorts, why did he suddenly sleep with a consort now?
