Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Chu Shitong woke up suddenly, the cool breeze brushed across her cheeks, and her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of her throat.

The sound of the teacher's lecture mixed with the scene in front of her eyes. She stared at everything around her in disbelief.

What is going on?

She was clearly hung on the city wall and died from being pierced by thousands of arrows!

It seemed as if the feeling of being pierced by countless arrows was still causing a dull pain in my body. Such a real and tragic life was definitely not a dream.

Chu Shitong looked at the books on the table, then at the familiar faces of the students around her. She immediately lifted up her sleeves and looked at her right wrist. The scar left by the burn in her previous life was gone.

She confirmed her thoughts and even determined the approximate time in an instant.

It should be the 23rd year of the Yuan Dynasty.

I was fourteen years old this year, which was the time when I was trying every means to win people's hearts in the Imperial Academy in my previous life.

She, Chu Shitong, is the seventh prince of Beiqing Kingdom, or to be more precise, a fake prince.

Chu Shitong's mother was originally a maid in the harem named Yun Xiangrong. She became pregnant with Prince Beiqing after a night of passion when he was drunk. Chu Shitong's mother became a phoenix and transformed from a maid into Concubine Yun.

Concubine Yun was pregnant for ten months and was almost crazy wanting to have a son, but unexpectedly, she gave birth to a daughter.

Concubine Yun knew that she was not favored and if she missed this opportunity, she might not even be able to serve the King in the emperor's bedchamber in the future. So she made up her mind and spent a large sum of money to bribe the midwife and the imperial physician, deceiving the King of Beiqing that she had given birth to a son.

For this reason, Chu Shitong disguised herself as a man since she was a child and was raised as the seventh prince of Beiqing Kingdom.

In her previous life, Chu Shitong was instilled with crazy ideas of seizing the throne and ascending to the highest position by her mother since she was a child. This made her regard herself as a man since she was a child. She was obsessed with power and material gains, and would stop at nothing to achieve her goals. She was ambitious and frantically competed with other princes for the throne in the court.

The King of Beiqing had eight children, five princes and three princesses, but he never appointed a crown prince until his death.

When she was 22 years old, the King of Beiqing passed away. She killed two of the five princes and drove one out of the capital. Only the eldest prince was left to compete with her for the throne. But at the last moment, her mother suddenly appeared in the hall and revealed the fact that she was a woman in front of all the civil and military officials.

The connections and power accumulated over the years all collapsed at this moment.

She was also imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for deceiving the emperor.

The eldest prince took the opportunity to succeed to the throne, and dug up all her heinous crimes over the years, and sentenced her to death by being pierced by thousands of arrows.

Chu Shitong couldn't understand why his mother, who had been so strict and even harsh in forcing him to seize the throne since he was a child, betrayed him just when he was about to get the throne.

It was not until the night before the execution that she learned the reason from the eldest prince.

It turned out that her mother, Concubine Yun Xiangrong, saw that her power was growing stronger and stronger, and her attitude towards her changed from cautious obedience to willful indifference. She was afraid that after Chu Shitong really succeeded to the throne, he would retaliate against her because of the harsh treatment she had suffered since childhood.

She thought she was the one who understood Chu Shitong's ruthlessness best, so she chose to surrender to the eldest prince. Although she could not become the queen mother, at least as a deal, the eldest prince promised to send her out of the palace after the success and reward her with ten thousand taels of gold to support her in her old age.

After learning the truth in the prison, Chu Shitong started laughing almost crazily.

It was clearly her mother who forced her to become powerful, but when she really became powerful, she would be the first person to be afraid.

On the day of her execution, all the people in the capital came. Everyone had heard of her cruelty, and they despised and hated her.

Chu Shitong did not feel afraid or sad. He even felt a little fortunate that this tragic life was finally over.

But when hundreds of archers were in position and aiming at her, she suddenly saw Si Jingli, the prince of Rong Palace, whom she had used and thrown away, rushing into the execution ground with his soldiers to save her.

A strong shock made her heart stop at this moment.

Because the new emperor was present in person on the day of the execution and the highest-ranking imperial guards were guarding the execution ground, Si Jingli, who tried to save him, was ordered to be killed on the spot, and his fate would be the same as his.

Thousands of arrows pierce the heart.

Seeing him crawling towards the direction where he was tied up while being shot by several arrows and dying, Chu Shitong, who had not shed a tear in more than ten years, broke down and cried.

She tried her best to break free from the heavy shackles, but it was completely useless. She could only watch Si Jingli die in front of her, and then all the archers' thousands of arrows were shot at her.

When she was alive in her previous life, she was like a cold stone, and had no desire to live except for the mission of winning the throne.

But before she died, she wanted to live like crazy.

Perhaps God couldn't bear to see her live such a miserable life, so he gave her a chance to be reborn.

Chu Shitong steadied his breathing and looked up at the man sitting by the window.

The boy is so beautiful that it is difficult to tell whether he is male or female, with skin as white as snow, hair as black as ink, a cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, narrow and long peach blossom eyes, exquisite and perfect facial features, and an aura of noble, spoiled and lazy. He looks like a beauty that has walked out of a picture book.

Seeing the living Si Jingli, Chu Shitong felt extremely bitter.

Si Jingli is the only prince of the Rong Palace of the Beiqing Kingdom. He has been raised in the palm of his hand since he was a child. It is said throughout the capital that it is better to offend the prince than the prince, and the rumor is about Si Jingli.

As a founding hero of Beiqing State, Prince Rong's Mansion is one of the most prestigious families in Beiqing State.

In her previous life, she had always wanted to make friends with Si Jingli because she was attracted by the power and connections he held. Even because Si Jingli was protected too well and was extremely ignorant about matters of the heart, she lied to him and said that she was a homosexual in order to deceive him and make him feel guilty.

Si Jingli was deceived by Chu Shitong and really thought that Chu Shitong liked him. He knew that homosexuality was not tolerated by the secular world, but for some reason, he did not feel disgusted with Chu Shitong at all, so he was hesitant.

Chu Shitong took advantage of Si Jingli's guilt to get to know and win over Si Jingli's connections. After he had used up all his value, he became indifferent to him. Later, when the Rong Palace fell, Chu Shitong was even too lazy to see him again.

But Chu Shitong could never have imagined that when he was despised by everyone, it was this noble prince who had been brought up in a pampered manner since childhood who rushed into the execution ground without fear of life and death to save him.

Thinking of how he was crawling towards him, covered in blood, muttering his name, Chu Shitong felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Teacher: "Okay, today's class ends here. You must memorize all five poems I taught today. I will check tomorrow. If you can't memorize them, you must copy them 100 times and hand them to me. get out of class is over."

Hearing that the get out of class was over, all the young masters and young ladies in the hall breathed a sigh of relief. All kinds of voices immediately filled the school. The servants and maids guarding outside the door also went into the house to help their masters pack up.

When Chu Shitong saw Si Jingli stand up, he immediately looked away.

She had a momentary urge to go up and say something to Si Jingli, but remembering that she and Si Jingli didn't seem to be familiar with each other at that time, she resisted the urge.

The maid Bishui came in, bowed, and began to pack her books and writing materials.

Chu Shitong was sitting in his seat, and when he saw the clear water, he still seemed a little dazed.

In my previous life, I suspected that Bishui was planted by my mother, so I sent her to get married when she was sixteen. I heard that she didn't seem to have an easy life after getting married, but I didn't care about it at that time.

Suddenly someone patted my shoulder.

She looked back and saw Zhou Hengchuan, the eldest son of the Minister of Rites, standing behind her.

In his previous life, Chu Shitong put a lot of effort into winning over Zhou Hengchuan. He had been treating him like a brother since they were in school. But after he entered the court, Zhou Hengchuan chose to follow the fifth prince, Chu Shihuan.

Later, in order to take revenge, he framed Chu Shihuan for privately raising troops and intending to rebel, and imprisoned Zhou Hengchuan along with him.

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince, are you free today?" Zhou Hengchuan asked.

Chu Shitong had long been accustomed to wearing a mask, and instantly restored his expression as when he was on friendly terms with others in his previous life. He smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zhou, do you have any good things waiting for me?"

Zhou Hengchuan laughed loudly upon hearing this, and put his arm around Chu Shitong's shoulders. He whispered in her ear with great interest, "I heard that Huaxilou is auctioning off an Oiran tonight. She's a beauty from the Western Regions. Doesn't His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince have any interest in this?"

Chu Shitong smiled. She remembered that in her previous life, after this guy took her away, he called her a brother in various ways and made explicit and implicit hints to her, making her spend three thousand taels to buy the top girl in Hua Xilou for him, and she became a sucker.

Later, this matter reached the ears of King Beiqing, and Chu Shitong was scolded. Her mother, Concubine Yun Xiangrong, was also punished by being made to kneel for a night because of this incident.

At that time, I foolishly thought that the three thousand taels were worth it. Little did I know that not only was the money wasted, but I also accidentally angered the prince of the Duke of Qing's Mansion because of this courtesan, and became a laughing stock of the family for a long time.

Chu Shitong calmly cooperated and said, "Since Brother Zhou wants to go and take a look, let's go and take a look."

"As expected of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, you are so straightforward. Come on, tonight's wine is on me!"

Chu Shitong agreed with a smile.

If she were to live her life over again, she would never be taken advantage of again.

The two of them had just walked out of the school. Chu Shitong was thinking about how to trick Zhou Hengchuan when he suddenly heard the eldest prince's voice from behind.

"Xiao Qi, where are you and Zhou Hengchuan going to play?"

Beiqing Kingdom has no legitimate son. The eldest prince, as the eldest son, is five years older than Chu Shitong. He has always had followers in the court and is a hot candidate for the position of crown prince.

Zhou Hengchuan immediately turned around and greeted the eldest prince Chu Shixuan.

"His Royal Highness the First Prince."

Chu Shixuan nodded and his eyes fell on Chu Shitong.

Chu Shitong smiled perfectly and asked, "How come my brother has time to come to the Imperial Academy today?"

Chu Shixuan was nineteen years old, at the peak of his handsome youth. He wore a moon-white gown outlined with gold threads. He was tall and graceful with an extraordinary temperament. He always had a gentle smile on his face, which was different from Chu Shitong's.

In her previous life, Chu Shitong thought that Chu Shixuan's appearance was fake, but she never expected that even when she was imprisoned in the Sky Prison waiting to die, she never saw any pride in Chu Shixuan's face after he succeeded to the throne.

Chu Shixuan said, "I wrote an article about preventing floods, and I want to show it to you, Master."

Chu Shitong nodded, "Then please go ahead and do your work, my brother. I have something else to do and will leave first."

Zhou Hengchuan also smiled and said, "Then His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince and I will take our leave first."

The two looked at each other, turned around and left the school.

Chu Shixuan stared at the backs of the two people. The smile on his face slowly disappeared and his eyes became deeper.

……

Huaxilou.

Zhou Hengchuan was a frequent visitor to Huaxilou. As soon as he came in, he was surrounded by a group of women.

Chu Shitong felt a little uncomfortable with the smell of makeup on the women, so he waved his hand and sent away the women around him.

The seats in Huaxilou are divided into three classes. The first class is the seats for individual guests in the lobby on the first floor, usually one table for one group. The advantage is that the price is low and it is close to the main counter.

The second class is the single room on the second floor, with curtains dividing the corridor into several separate areas. The consumption here is higher than on the first floor, with a table fee of five taels of silver. However, the view is wide and it is quieter than on the first floor.

The third class is the private room on the third floor. The windows are covered with thin gauze. Each room has a dedicated servant. Outsiders cannot see what is going on inside, so it is very private and the minimum consumption is twenty taels.
