Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Chapter 133: Deceitful Heart and Hypocritical Feelings

In Chu Shitong's dream, he recalled almost everything he had done to Si Jingli in his previous life.

Although Si Jingli has an arrogant personality, he is also very simple.

Ever since Chu Shitong told him about this, the way he and Chu Shitong get along seems to have changed.

The dream scene changed, and it seemed to be a flower-viewing banquet.

In her previous life, Chu Shitong had participated in many flower-viewing banquets in order to make friends. But in this life, Chu Shitong had no intention of participating. Basically, she could get all the useful connections she could get. She really couldn't go to such places to suffer for no reason.

Si Jingli was often invited, and undoubtedly everyone invited him to appreciate his stunning beauty, as if as long as Si Jingli appeared in this flower-viewing banquet, he was more beautiful than millions of flowers.

At the flower-viewing banquet, it seemed as if a young man, relying on his family background, approached Si Jingli with malicious intent and spoke in a sarcastic manner.

"Your Highness is so kind to come to this banquet. It's just an ordinary flower-viewing banquet, but you have come dressed so gorgeously. For a moment, I don't know whether I should appreciate the flowers in the garden and the young lady from the noble family, or the beauty of Your Highness."

All the words were mocking Si Jingli's love of beauty.

Although everyone loves beauty, when a man becomes the object of admiration of all the young ladies from aristocratic families because of his good looks, he will definitely be looked down upon by many men.

It’s simply because they can’t compare with others in appearance, but they are unwilling to give in.

That is why extremely handsome men are compared with women, as if by doing so, one can associate one's own mediocre appearance with so-called masculinity.

It seems that good-looking men should be appreciated by other men like women, and only men with ordinary looks are real men.

There is no reason or basis for these inexplicable words. They are just said out of jealousy and inferiority in their hearts, so they are humbly trying to save their own face, which they don't have much to begin with, in this way.

Si Jingli couldn't hide his anger, and he got mad when he heard this.

"Who do you think you are? Do I need you to admire me? You talk to me like this, so do you not want your tongue anymore?"

The young master seemed to have thought of a response long ago, and immediately pretended to be surprised and said, "I just said something ordinary, and I was telling the truth. Why are you so angry? Besides, I didn't say anything unpleasant. Every word I said was a compliment to you. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask the young masters present here? Can you tell that I have other intentions when I say the same thing?"

The other young men came to watch the fun. It seemed that after these ordinary-looking or even ugly men formed a group, teasing and secretly insulting the handsome men who were incompatible with them became something that everyone wanted to do.

Si Jingli looked at the surprised expressions of the people around him, and instantly became angry.

He knew that if he took action against that young master now, his actions would become a laughing stock in the capital for at least three months.

But he could not bear such an insult.

"Someone, give this prince..."

"His Royal Highness."

Chu Shitong came walking on the wind and interrupted Si Jingli's words with a greeting that was as intimate as possible.

A few days ago, Chu Shitong expressed his feelings to Si Jingli in disguise. Although Si Jingli did not agree, the two still got along as friends. But after not seeing each other for a few days, Si Jingli suddenly saw Chu Shitong and felt inexplicably awkward.

The anger in my body also subsided a lot.

"Seventh, Seventh Prince, why are you here?"

Chu Shitong had a very ordinary smile on his face and said, "I have nothing to do today. The invitation happened to be delivered a few days ago, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here too."

Si Jingli met Chu Shitong's calm gaze, immediately looked away, and said vaguely: "This prince... is just wandering around when he has nothing to do."

"Your Highness is in a very elegant mood. Today he is admiring the flowers. What he is wearing is even more enchanting than the flowers themselves."

It was clearly words with almost the same meaning, but when these words came out of Chu Shitong's mouth, Si Jingli's face turned red for no reason. He lowered his head, no longer looking like he was angry and wanted to punish someone.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Chu Shitong turned the topic to the young man just now.

"Mr. Li, long time no see."

The young man restrained his attitude and bowed, "Your Highness the Seventh Prince is too polite."

"No need to be so polite." Chu Shitong waved his hand and said, "How is Lord Li's health these days?"

Hearing Chu Shitong's normal tone, Li Sheng felt relieved and relaxed a little.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness the Seventh Prince. My father is in good health. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the time to come out and enjoy the flowers. Don't you agree?"

Hearing that Chu Shitong was still in the mood to chat calmly with the person who had just insulted him, Si Jingli became unhappy again.

Just as he was about to say something else, Chu Shitong suddenly gently grabbed his wrist from behind. Although it was only a momentary touch, Si Jingli's face felt as hot as fire, as if he had touched some hot and stubborn stone that was sparking sparks. He immediately took a step back and even forgot to say the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Chu Shitong did not show any emotion on the surface, and continued to talk to Li Sheng, "Lord Li is indeed very talented. I think he will only need opportunities and time to rise to higher positions in the future. However, the upbringing of your Li family is commendable. You are so polite."

Li Sheng's face suddenly froze.

How could he not hear the hidden meaning in Chu Shitong's words?

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince...what do you mean by this?"

"Nothing, I just heard you talk about what His Royal Highness said." Chu Shitong said, "Mr. Li seems to be working with my eldest brother recently. It just so happens that when I return to the East Fifth Residence, I will tell my eldest brother about Mr. Li's wonderful remarks today. I'm sure my eldest brother will be touched by what Mr. Li said."

Li Sheng panicked instantly, "Your Highness the Seventh Prince! What I said personally has nothing to do with the upbringing of my Li family."

Chu Shitong knew that he was panicking not because he knew he had made a mistake, but because he was afraid that he would affect his father's career, which would in turn affect the entire Li family.

If his father knew, he would beat him to death.

Chu Shitong smiled slightly and said, "Don't panic, Mr. Li. I am just praising the upbringing of the Li family. Didn't you just say that His Royal Highness couldn't tell the difference between good and bad words? Could it be that you can't tell the difference either?"

Li Sheng understood that Chu Shitong was venting Si Jingli's anger.

His face turned pale as earth. He was afraid that Chu Shitong would gossip about him, and regardless of the people laughing at him, he quickly stepped forward to apologize to Si Jingli.

"Your Highness, I said the wrong thing just now. I didn't mean to offend you. I hope Your Highness will be magnanimous and don't take it to heart."

Si Jingli snorted coldly and said, "This prince will never forgive you."

Chu Shitong: “…”

Li Sheng begged desperately and was sweating profusely, but Si Jingli didn't even look at him.

"You are nothing worthy of my forgiveness. Get out of here right now, or I'll break your legs."

After he said that, he turned and left in a hurry.

Chu Shitong followed immediately.

Just arrived and left.

When I went out, I saw Si Jingli waiting for me at the corner of the garden.

He asked in a bad temper as soon as he came up: "Why did you scare him? If you didn't scare him and he didn't apologize to me, I would have had his mouth smashed. Now that he apologized, how can I let anyone beat him up?"

Chu Shitong said: "Your Highness, I did this just because I don't want you to have a reputation as a cruel person."

Si Jingli was silent again.

He said with an unnatural expression: "I don't want you to care about my business."

Chu Shitong lowered his eyes, pretending to be cautious and sad, and said, "If His Royal Highness doesn't like it, I won't meddle in your business next time."

Seeing this, Si Jingli felt a sense of guilt for no reason, as if he didn't know how to appreciate a good person. He said, "That's not what I meant... I was just angry that you didn't let me punish him."

"I am a bit rude. I won't say these things on behalf of His Highness next time." Chu Shitong changed the subject and asked, "Does His Highness like the set of dolls I sent yesterday?"

Si Jingli didn't dare to meet Chu Shitong's gaze and said, "It's okay, but it looks a bit strange. I can't say whether I like it or not. This prince already has a lot of them."

"As long as His Royal Highness doesn't mind."

In fact, Si Jingli not only didn't dislike it, he simply couldn't let it go.

He didn't know where Chu Shitong found such exquisite and beautiful dolls, a set of eighteen in total. They were now displayed on Si Jingli's most gorgeous cabinet, and the servants were not allowed to wipe them for fear that they would be damaged.

He felt even worse when he thought about how Chu Shitong had kindly helped him but was scolded by him.

This time, Chu Shitong promised not to meddle in Si Jingli's affairs anymore, but the reality was not like that at all.

Next time, Chu Shitong will still be in charge.

Si Jingli said a few unhappy words at first, but later he found that with Chu Shitong around, fewer people came forward to make trouble, and he gradually got used to Chu Shitong standing in front of him.

He seemed gentle and approachable with a smile, but his attitude towards outsiders was like a dagger hidden in his smile. If anyone dared to be sarcastic to him, Si Jingli, Chu Shitong would make that person apologize with a red face in the next second.

Si Jingli had unknowingly gotten used to Chu Shitong's presence.

Chu Shitong watched himself in his dream.

It silently touched all his hobbies and habits and invaded his life.

Know what he likes to eat and what he doesn't eat, what kind of food he can eat and what kind of food he should throw away three miles away.

Knowing that he suffered from tuberculosis, he sought out famous doctors all over the world to treat him, and always carried candies with him when he went out to play.

Knowing that he loved clothes and jewelry, she secretly worked hard to make money and found ways to send him new and beautiful fabrics, gold and silver jewelry.

Novel gadgets, delicious snacks, very rare booklets, whatever Si Jingli liked, Chu Shitong would give him.

Si Jingli was forced to get used to Chu Shitong's presence, and would even feel very irritated if he hadn't seen him for a few days.

The relationship between the two also deteriorated from friends at the beginning to a strange intimacy.

The time they spent together was neither long nor short.

They met at the age of fifteen, and the Rong Palace declined when he was twenty.

Just five years.

For Chu Shitong at that time, five years was nothing. As long as her goal could be achieved, it would not matter if she had to perform for a lifetime.

But now, as a bystander of the dream, Chu Shitong realized belatedly that the two had been together for such a long time.

When he was twenty years old, Prince Rong was imprisoned for a crime and stripped of his throne.

Because Si Jingli was the grandson of the Marquis of Zhenguo, he was not implicated at all. He just moved to a new place and lost the title of prince.

Everyone in the capital laughed at Si Jingli. He was once so arrogant, but now his family was in decline and he ended up like this.

In order to prevent Si Jingli from secretly going to Quanzhou, Chu Shiyu always sent people to monitor his residence.

The last time the two met was because Chu Shitong wanted to get a lost manuscript of scriptures from the warehouse of Prince Rong's Mansion.

At that time, there was only one day left before the Rong Prince's Mansion was to be ransacked. No one knew how Chu Shitong could be so cruel as to go there to ask for things the day before the house was ransacked.

The Prince Rong's Mansion has lost its former glory, and there is not a single person to be seen in the empty courtyard.

Chu Shitong knew where Si Jingli was, and found him without thinking.

When Si Jingli saw Chu Shitong, his eyes turned red.

The two people who had never made their feelings clear but had been reluctant to get married seemed to have finally settled down in their relationship at this moment.

Si Jingli was finally willing to accept it, but Chu Shitong achieved his goal and just put on a show in front of him for the sake of an object.

Si Jingli hugged Chu Shitong, tears falling from his eyes.

The Chu Shitong in the dream just coaxed her with an expressionless face, and those cold glass eyes did not have the slightest warmth.

"Chu Shitong... I only have you, please don't leave me, I'm so scared, someone is watching me, I don't know what to do, there's no one around me..."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will always be by your side."

Si Jingli hugged her tighter, and repeated himself in her ear for a long time like an insecure child.

Chu Shitong coaxed him for a while, but lost his patience and asked, "Your Highness, I remember you have a manuscript of Master Nanping in your house."

Si Jingli wiped his tears and looked at her innocently.

"Do you, do you want it? If you want, I'll get it for you right away."

"I may need it for something." Chu Shitong said, "If this manuscript can be used properly, my position in the court will be more stable, and our future will be more stable."

The affectionate look of Chu Shitong in the dream made her want to kill her former self.

Si Jingli took out the manuscript without thinking and gave it to Chu Shitong.

Chu Shitong originally wanted to leave after getting the manuscript, but Si Jingli was too clingy. Perhaps Chu Shitong felt obliged to take the manuscript, or perhaps he still had some feelings for Si Jingli in his heart, so he stayed with him until he went to bed late at night before leaving.

When we returned, it was already dark.

Chu Shitong remembered that it was also at this time in his previous life that he felt that accompanying Si Jingli was a waste of time and that Si Jingli was completely useless to him, so he made up his mind never to see him again.
