Fifth Prince and I
Seven Nights
Gu Niang- Girl, Lady
Wu A Ge-Fifth Prince
I had been wandering down the streets where a night festival was being held. Today, I was ‘Min Min’, the elegant,
youngest daughter of a rich noblemen. I had chosen my newest robe, the light pink silk one. No one questioned me or
knew who I was. Tonight, I would forget about my worries. I was Min Min now, but no one needed to know I wasn’t
actually a girl. Besides, that was the point.
I had bumped into him at the food stall, and we soon got to know each other throughout the night. But now, why
was I sitting here in the inner palace of the Forbidden City? Wu A Ge they called him. The fifth prince. Just the night
before, I barely knew him as the young son of a rich noble. Now, I knew he was more than that. He had ventured out
of the palace to look for someone. A cross-dresser to be exact. He had found me. He told me that he needed seven
nights with me. In return, I would be given gold. I was greedy of course. I was specifically told that during my stay, I
would be ‘Min Hua’ or in other words ‘Min Min‘. I was to be the supposed lover of the fifth prince.
“Min Hua Gu Niang, your bath has been set. The prince will arrive a few hours before midnight. Please prepare
yourself.” The palace maid standing before me was beautiful. It was a shame her status had led her to such a life.
The bathtub had been filled with rose petals and scented perfume. I carefully slid my robe off and stepped into the
tub. I bathed myself, splashing the water all over my body. This was something a young lady would have done. Of
course, even when I’m not in the clothes, I like to stay in character. It helps with the overall image. The bath was
short due to the arrival time of the prince. He would appear soon. I had wondered how he would look like in his
royal attire. At the time I met him, he was already handsome despite the clothes. He had given off a powerful
presence.
Light beige was the choice. I was lucky that my pale, milky complexion could match well with any color robe. After
much ease, I was ready. I didn’t know what awaited in the following hours when he would come. Why did he need
me? What was my purpose here? I began pacing slightly in the large bedroom. Slow, baby steps, Xiumin. You are a
girl right now. Embrace your inner girl and focus!
“Wu A Ge has arrived!” A weak yet manly voice announced the presence of his majesty. The palace maids by the
door all stood up straight and formed two rows. His first step in the door was grand. Bows were made as he passed
the maids. His overwhelming power was felt all throughout the room. He had left the main quarter where the maids
were and gracefully made his way to the bedroom where I was. We were hidden from the eyes of the others. He
pulled me close, with his arms around my waist. “Pretend that you’re mad at me because I’m late,” he whispered.
Right away my character kicked in. I pulled away from his embrace and made my way over to the bed. I crossed my
hands and looked away from him. “Wu A Ge, why come so late? Why don’t you just wait until the next day to visit
me ?” I angrily exclaimed.
He smiled and sat next to me, snaking his arms around my waist before smoothly saying,” Min Hua ah, forgive this
prince. My heart wished to be where you are, but my duties forced me to stay away from you.” I felt a sudden
sensation in my stomach. It was as if his words had affected me in some way.
I turned my body around to face him. He pulled me in closer, and I rest my head onto his shoulder. I lift my hand to
hit his chest lightly. I repeat it a few times before using my “feminine” voice to jealously say, “You are so mean to
me. I only have you in my heart, but who knows how many you have in yours?”
Going along with my act, he gently grabs my hand to stop me from hitting him. “My hearts been shaken by you and
only you. There is no other person.” With a locked gaze on me, he pushes us back to ly on the bed, his body
hovering over mine. My heart skips a beat as I stare back at him. I was really into character.
I suddenly remember the palace guards and maids standing anxiously in the next room and pushed him off me gently.
He knew why I was pushing him away. Of course he knew. He had requested it.
“Make sure to guard the surrounding areas well and a good distance away from the door. No one is allowed to enter
unless I say so!” They all scrambled out to follow his order. As soon as the doors closed, our distance became wider.
We were silent for a moment. He muttered a few praises and stood up to go sit at the table near by. That was how I
spent the first night.
As we spent each night getting more intimate then the last, my feelings for Fifth prince also grew. I wasn’t going to
let him know though. Who has ever heard of a man loving a man? Even I knew it was shunned upon. It was just that I
couldn’t control what I felt. Tonight was the sixth night, and the vibe certainly felt different. He was late. Not just a
few minutes, but an hour. I had decided to do some embroidery while anxiously waiting for him. I crave for his
touches and kisses even though it’s a sin. I had started on the lotus after our second night together. The lotus that has
now been one-fourth of the way done is sitting before me untouched. My mind was too preoccupied to notice the
tall figure approaching the bed and sitting behind me. A pair of arms wrap around my stomach and a warm body is
overwhelmingly close to mine. I immediately knew who it was. He carefully rested his chin on my shoulder.
“Have you been waiting for me?” He softly said. I sighed before answering him. Should I tell him how anxious and
worried I was? Or how I longed for him to be here with me? “What am I suppose to say? If I tell you I’ve been missing
you, does it make any difference?”
“Xiumin ah,” he whispered just loud enough for me to hear. I shivered as he called out my real name. I moaned softly
as he left a trail of kisses coming down from my neck. This was so wrong but so right in many ways. His hand had
lowered itself down my body to a new low. It rested just above my crotch. I let out a muted gasp as he rubbed me
back and forth. Our lips met, and we kissed sweetly, each one of them filled with passion. I laid back onto the bed,
my head hitting the soft pillow. He had stood up to blow out the candles that lit the room. Under the moonlight, he
was on top of me. His face was half-lit on one side. His gaze was full of desire and longing, but what was I to do? I
wasn’t a woman. I couldn’t fullfill his needs the way a woman can. I tried to stop him before anything happened. He
needed to realize I wasn’t what he wanted even though it pained me to do so.
“Wu A Ge, I’m not a woman,” I whispered, hoping to shake reality back into him.
“I know, but that doesn’t mean I can’t love you just the same.” Those words shook me. Has he been hiding
something from me all along? Was he....
Our lips locked, and we became more passionate. His hand began violently ripping off every piece of fabric I had on.
I was and embarassed. He smirked at me and his lips. He hovered over me again and trailed his hand
down the middle of me, starting from my chest and moving down towards it. That was just the beginning.
I lay in bed staring at the ceiling as I recalled the events before me. Wu A Ge was sleeping soundly next to me, his
arms wrapped around me tightly. We were and our clothes were everywhere on the floor. I had tried to
process what had happened, but my brain wasn’t in the right state. We had made love, despite being the same
gender. It all felt so surreal to me. Wu A Ge must have noticed that I wasn’t asleep because he was wide awake now.
I look over to him and over eyes meet. His hair was damp from all the perspiration. He grabbed me and pulled me on
top of him. I rested my head at the crook of his neck and lay there in silence. The smell of sweat and lavender mixed
together lingered in the air. I lift my head a little so our eyes would meet.
“We shouldn’t be like this. This......” He stopped me before I could finish with a kiss.
“Shhh. I don’t want to hear anything right now.” His whisper was low. His kisses, however, were getting rougher by
the second. From my forehead and down to my neck. He left no empty spaces unkissed. I moan softly. Right now, it
felt so right. He flipped us over so I was on the bottom now. With his index finger, he traced an invisible line from
the middle of my forehead, down to my nose, and stopped at my lips. Another soft peck landed on them. His every
action made my already fast beating heart pound faster. I wrapped my arms around his neck and gaze into his eyes
longingly. My fingers slowly tracing circles onto his back.
“Tonight, we don’t think about anything else. Just us. Tomorrow can wait.” I wasn’t sure of the future of tomorrow,
but I wasn’t in a rush to find out. Right now, being in his arms was all I needed.
I was going to write but how would they know what to do since they are in the past? So yeah I leave it to your imagination.
