Bai Chen's jaw tightened, and he even clenched his fists. Having the Crown Prince as his first guest in his palace was one thing, but hearing how the 'guest' insulted him was another.
He didn't expect that the older Prince would suspect him of hiding someone in the Jing Pavilion. He was indeed hiding Zhu Ge within the pavilion, but the man was waiting for him in the inner part of the pavilion, so the Crown Prince would not be able to see the man for sure.
Calming himself down, Bai Chen tried to act as if he was the real Bai Chen in this world as he replied, "You are right, Your Highness. I did hide a man within my pavilion, but I didn't expect that you would be interested in men too. That's why I didn't invite you in because I was afraid you'd be disgusted when you saw one of my men."
