Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Chapter 109: Roasted Oranges and Chestnuts in Winter

Time passed like this, and Linglan came to visit Chu Shitong several times.

But Chu Shitong hasn’t seen it.

After all, Linglan is married, and Chu Shitong is now a man, so it is indeed inappropriate for them to meet in private.

It seemed that Lily of the Valley had also noticed something and never came again after being rejected twice.

The weather gradually became colder, and Xu Zhanqing was sent out again not long after staying in the capital.

The affairs of Jingzhou were finally settled. Chu Shiyu took back all the political power in Jingzhou. Now the new governor of Jingzhou has not been elected yet. Chu Shitong guessed that Chu Shiyu should want to select a new person from next year's imperial examination, and then transfer people from the court to Jingzhou.

Liu Zeshan and his accomplices were naturally sentenced to death and were scheduled to be beheaded in public in early November.

The imperial examination was still going on, but as Chu Shitong had expected, Han Zijun failed to pass.

Zhang Yuanqing is on the list, and his success will be decided after the palace examination in February next year.

At the end of November, there was a heavy snowfall in the capital.

Chu Shitong left the court as usual.

The cases in Jiangzhou will be reported gradually towards the New Year this year, so she is not in a hurry.

"Xiao Qi." Chu Shifeng put his arm around Chu Shitong's shoulders as usual, "Come to my house for a drink today."

Chu Shitong smiled and said helplessly: "Royal brother, it snowed so heavily a few days ago, and my eldest brother has been busy dealing with it all over the capital. You and I are drinking at this time, and we are not afraid of what others will think if they know."

Chu Shifeng was almost immune to Chu Shitong's words, "Who cares about them? Are you coming or not?"

Chu Shitong did not agree immediately.

Chu Shifeng said, "I have two jars of wine sent by Qinglian. Would you like to try some?"

"It's not impossible, but my father asked me to go to Kaiyuan Temple with my eldest brother tomorrow, so I can't drink too much today."

"I know, I know. Come on, get in my carriage."

......

Prince Yu's Mansion.

Ever since Chu Shitong came back from Jingzhou, he has not been to Prince Yu's Mansion again. After a few months, he found that Prince Rong's Mansion was still as luxurious as before.

Near noon, Chu Shitong stayed for a meal.

The wine from Qinglian tastes sweet, but not cloyingly sweet. Instead, it has a bit of the natural sourness of grapes. It is sweet and sour, delicious and very refreshing, just like grapes made into juice.

Chu Shitong drank a whole jar of it.

Chu Shifeng was not very interested in wine and had always been drinking strong liquor.

The sun shone through the layers of snow. The house was heated by a floor heating system and filled with incense, making it as warm as day.

"Brother, please get up for a moment."

Chu Shitong suddenly said.

Chu Shifeng didn't understand, but he didn't ask any more questions and just got up from the rocking chair.

Chu Shitong took the opportunity to step forward and occupy the rocking chair, lying down on it comfortably. Looking at Chu Shifeng's expression as he realized what was going on and wanted to curse, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't blame me, my royal brother. I have been thinking about this rocking chair for a long time."

Chu Shifeng was so angry that he laughed at these childish words.

"Can't you just tell me directly? You have to trick me into getting up. Do I really have to fight with you for a rocking chair?"

"What if? If you don't let me, there's nothing I can do. This is called outsmarting."

Chu Shitong lay comfortably in the rocking chair, and Chu Shifeng, the real owner of Prince Yu's Mansion, was forced to sit on the chair.

He poured himself a glass of liquor, drank it all in one gulp, and exhaled a comfortable breath.

"In this weather, lying down and drinking strong liquor is the most comfortable thing. It's a pity that my rocking chair was stolen by a little bastard."

"I've already said it, this is called outsmarting. You and I are brothers, how can this be called cheating?"

Chu Shifeng picked up a piece of bright red strawberry and stuffed it into her mouth with disdain, "Hurry up and shut your mouth. Who else but you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me?"

Chu Shitong was eating a strawberry in his mouth, "Brother, the strawberries here are so sweet."

Perhaps because of what happened in Jingzhou, Chu Shifeng's tolerance and trust in me are much stronger than before.

"If it's sweet, eat a few more bites." Chu Shifeng said, "If you like it, ask someone to bring some back for you when you leave."

"My brother is so kind."

Chu Shitong was so arrogant that he leaned on the armrest of the rocking chair and pointed at the fruit plate on the table.

"I still want to eat."

Chu Shifeng glanced at her and felt that she was as lazy as a cat.

"You don't have hands yourself?"

"My royal brother is close."

Chu Shitong looked at him innocently, and her eyes, as clear as glass, made her self-righteousness more acceptable.

Chu Shifeng raised his lips slightly and said, "I am not someone you can order around with just a few words."

Chu Shitong asked, "Then I'll get up and get some strawberries. I hope my brother won't take the opportunity to occupy the rocking chair."

What an extremely childish statement.

Chu Shifeng couldn't stand it anymore and quickly took a strawberry and handed it over.

"Just shut up. You're already seventeen, but your mind is still like that of a child."

Chu Shitong suddenly felt that ordering Chu Shifeng to do things was a very novel and teasing feeling.

She deliberately said, "I don't want this one, I want the big one next to it."

Chu Shifeng's face darkened again and he changed his expression.

Chu Shitong then took the strawberries and lay back contentedly. The strawberries were the size of a palm, red and sweet.

"Brother, your rocking chair is really nice."

Chu Shifeng snorted coldly and said, "This rocking chair of mine was specially made by someone. It is many times better than ordinary rocking chairs. Fortunately, you have a good eye to see that."

"Indeed, this rocking chair is really comfortable. Brother, do you still want this rocking chair?"

Chu Shifeng: “…”

It has almost become a habit for Chu Shitong to take things from Prince Yu's mansion.

Every time I went drinking before, I always came back with a full bag. I basically never came out empty-handed.

"I can see that you are here just to get something for nothing by inviting you to our house as a guest."

Chu Shitong smiled and said, "Then come find me, find my Third Brother. He won't ask you for things like I do."

"Looking for him?" Chu Shifeng leaned back in his chair, his black hair covering his sharp eyes, and his tone was full of disdain, "I don't want to have anything to do with him. If you like this chair, I'll have someone make one for you. I can't give you this one."

"why?"

Chu Shitong still found it quite strange.

Chu Shifeng said: "I am used to lying like this, I am not used to other lying positions."

"What if the new one isn't as comfortable as this one?"

Chu Shifeng smiled and looked at her. "Then can I have someone make the armrests out of warm jade? And then set some gemstone beads for you."

"Okay, my brother is generous."

Chu Shitong finally felt relieved now.

Sure enough, if you hang out with rich people, you will also become successful.

If this rocking chair had its armrests made of warm jade and inlaid with gemstone beads, it would probably be worth hundreds or thousands of taels of silver.

The floor heating in the house was burning red, chestnuts and oranges were roasting on the stove, the aroma mixed with the smell of wine, making people so lazy that they didn't want to move, and the cold winter wind was blocked outside the door.

Outside the house, a figure stood in front of the window for a long time, so long that his legs were numb and his hands were frozen, but he still had no intention of leaving.

Xueqing poked a hole in the window paper and secretly peeked into the room through the window.

He saw Chu Shifeng, who had treated him very well in the past, just taking an orange from the stove and handing it to the man in the rocking chair.

"Is this His Royal Highness Prince Qi?"

The loss in the words is so oppressive that it makes it hard to breathe.

Chu Shifeng never let him touch the rocking chair, but now Chu Shitong was lying on it in a swaggering manner, silently showing off this unique favor.

She wouldn't even reach out to take the orange.

Chu Shifeng said something in his mouth, then took the orange back, peeled it cleanly and handed it to Chu Shitong.

Chu Shifeng no longer had his former mood swings. Even though he was treated like a servant by Chu Shitong, there was always a smile on his face.

Chu Shifeng was so handsome that his smile made Xueqing's heart beat fast. But now when she saw that smile again, Xueqing felt that her heart was broken.

As Xueqing watched, tears fell silently.
