These are why I gathered from review and novel, I couldn’t find rest of chapter after chapter 80 so I had to use MTL. And yeah Hong Lian was more shittt in the novel:

it's just pretend play, ML NEVER slept with him. Red lotus guy likes Song so he is jealous of MC bcos of him. Not bcos of the North King. They will be the secondary couple later.
Hong Lian (ch 73 debut): Less than 3 days later, the details of Emperor Ye’s secret plan appeared in a letter to Zhenbei Wang.
Zhenbei Wang took one look and then tossed the letter in the brazier. A pair of brightly coloured hands appeared from behind to wrap around him.
“My Lord, it’s late. You’ve been busy the whole day, isn’t it time to rest? Let me help you relax.” A flirtatious beauty clung to Zhenbei Wang. The voice was clearly that of a man, but the words were more charming than what any woman could say, but not to the point of being disgusting.
Zhenbei Wang grabbed his hand, and spun around to pin him down on top of the bed.
(Ch 74) “How bizarre that the Lord discarded a beauty like you in this lonely place and became a frequent guest of mine-”
(Ch 75) “I was invited by the Princess Consort to steal the Lord’s favor from you. We’ll see each other often in the future. I hope Concubine Yin can take good care of me.”
“Then let me explain it. Princess Consort found me to serve the Lord. So during this time I’ve been taking care of him. The Lord is really forceful, even I have a hard time taking it every night. Right now my back is still hurting.”
“When you were sitting on the steps just now, you were waiting for the Lord, right? Look at this pitiful face of yours. Don’t wait anymore. With my meticulous care, he probably won’t think about you for a while~”
After saying this, and under the murderous look of Song Qing, Hong Lian walked away with a sway of his butt. As he walked, he hummed a little tune. “It was supposed to be a strong opponent, but turns out it’s just a fool with a good body~ How boring.”
Hong Lian’s sigh could be heard from far away, as if it was purposefully said for Shen Yu to hear.
(Ch 77) “Do you see this? This is the jade ring that the Lord gave me this morning for satisfying him.” Hong Lian lifted his left thumb, and indeed there was a top-quality jade ring on it. Hong Lian tilted it toward the light and admired it with glee.
Hong Lian sneered in disdain, “Of course, a mute can’t openly ask for rewards. You’ve been with the Lord for a while now, you must have gotten something worth money from him? Let’s admire it! You have to take advantage of when men are in the throes of desire to bring up your requests, they’ll agree for sure!”
“But also you can’t talk, I wonder what it’s like when the Lord is bedding someone who’s silent. Even if he beds you to death you can’t yell. Any moaning must sound really dry, the Lord really likes my cries.”
(Ch 78) “Are you an idiot?” Hong Lian asked rudely, “You must know all about Zhenbei Wang’s past love affairs? All of those boy toys and concubines were hopelessly devoted to him. And have you seen Zhenbei Wang miss any of them after they died one after the other? What makes you think you’re better than any of them?”
“How would I dare to run rampant like this if I didn’t already have the Lord’s permission? The Lord said that if I liked it, then I could take it back to my room. Master Song, your rank isn’t high enough, right? Can you protect your little master?”
Hong Lian took out Zhenbei Wang’s command, and seeing Song Qing’s speechlessness, he let out a cold laugh and continued. “And these charcoal braziers. My place is too cold. He’s too sickly to recover anyway, take them away!” Two servants weren’t enough to move even the charcoal braziers away, so Hong Lian shouted for ten more people. Not long after that, Song Hua Pavilion sat emptied.
(Ch 81) It was cool at night, and Shen Yu got up. He wanted to go to Bingxin Pavilion to look again, but Bingxin Pavilion was very remote, and Shen Yu couldn't remember the way. Shen Yu is most familiar with the road, even with his eyes closed, he can walk over.
The study room was still lit with lamps, and it was as bright as daylight inside. Two figures were reflected on the window, one was shaking violently above, and the other was panting and panting below.
(Ch 82) Honglian's groaning sound is really pleasant to listen to. When King Zhenbei goes deep, he sings like a song, and when King Zhenbei speeds up, he chirps like a bird, always matching the emotional ups and downs of King Zhenbei.
Shen Yu didn't know how long she stood outside, one side of her body was numb, and the people inside died down after the final sprint.
Honglian's voice was lazy, with a hoarseness after being satisfied with love affairs. “My lord, my family saw Concubine Yin today, she seems to have lost her soul, don't you feel distressed?".
"Humph.”
King Zhenbei didn't answer directly, as if he did something, which made Honglian cry out.
“How are you, my lord...” Hong Lian’s voice was unsteady, "After all, he was your former favorite, you are really so cruel, and you are not tempted by him at all?
His doubts were easily resolved. It turned out that in King Zhenbei's heart, he had always been a lowly slave, and he was also delusional, restless, trying to seduce Emperor Ye to climb to a higher branch.
"Then, my lord, do you like the slave family more, or do you prefer Shen Yu more?".
"At this moment, I naturally like you a lot.”
(Ch 83) After Shen Yu fled back to Shaohua Courtyard, in the study, King Zhenbei had grabbed Honglian lustfully and pressed him under his body, but suddenly stopped, and glanced sideways at the dark outside.
(The AFTER Shen Yu left makes me think ML knew Shen Yu was there and was lustful just to show. But it doesn’t make sense still, that he and Hong Lian were having sex before Shen Yu came. uuugh)
"My lord~ what's the matter?"
Hong Lian was already hungry and thirsty, and her two long straight legs hooked around King Zhenbei's waist, and took the initiative to meet him.
"Nothing, you go back.'. King Zhenbei got up, grabbed his robe, Honglian put on the clothes in astonishment, and was driven out of the study by King Zhenbei inexplicably.
