Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Qingyu immediately slammed the table and said, "What a good idea! I didn't expect that you, Leji, could come up with such a good idea!"

Nan Xue said: "With Le Ji's brain, he must have thought about it for a long time. It must have been hard work."

Le Ji suddenly picked up Qin beside him, his face dark as hell: "What do you two mean?"

The noisy sounds in the house did not stop until late at night.

Chu Shitong didn't know what was going to happen tomorrow. Chu Shihan had accepted the invitation, so she sent Linglan another letter early in the evening to inform her.

After receiving the two people's answers, Chu Shitong felt relieved and prepared to show up tomorrow to have dinner with Chu Shihan. Linglan pretended to meet the two people by chance. Chu Shitong immediately invited Linglan to stay, and he ran away to go to the house to sleep.

By the way, find a few storytellers to spice up the story of their private meeting and spread it throughout the capital. Try to come up with thirty versions of the story in three days, all of which are stories about this star-crossed couple who can't be together and can only have an affair secretly. It would be best if the facts were distorted and some extra material was added. We could also make up a special chapter about how to use a green hat for Chu Shihuan, and spread it all the way to Binzhou.

Chu Shitong had everything planned out perfectly, just waiting for Chu Shihan to leave court tomorrow.

-

the next day.

It seemed that a lot of documents were submitted from various places today, so the court session was delayed for a long time and ended near noon.

Chu Shitong received a letter from Prince Han's Mansion and went to the Michelin Restaurant in the morning.

There were not many people in the restaurant in the morning. Everyone was either cleaning or counting and processing the dishes delivered that morning in the backyard.

Chu Shitong had nothing to do, so he dragged a chair and sat in front of the store with Bishui to bask in the sun.

People came and went on the street, and the hawkers' shouts came from far away.

Two children ran into the store, a boy and a girl. The boy looked about seven or eight years old, and the girl looked about four or five years old.

The material he wears is considered the best among the common people.

When Bishui saw Chu Shitong looking at the two children, he came closer and said, "Your Highness, those are Miss Xie's two children. The older one is Wencheng, and the younger one is Lingling."

"Oh."

No wonder Chu Shitong felt that he looked familiar. She had seen Wencheng before when she was helping Xie Chuchu find a teacher. But that was three years ago. Wencheng was only five years old at that time. She didn't expect that he had grown so big in three years.

Wencheng and Lingling were chasing each other and playing Cuju in the store. Xie Chuchu came out with cakes and saw that the two of them were recklessly knocking over the tables and chairs in the hall. She said with a sullen face, "Go play outside. Is this the place for you to play Cuju?"

When the two children smelled the fragrance of the pastries, they immediately put down their Cuju and came over.

Wencheng reached out to take one, "Wow, Mom! Isn't this the egg yolk pastry that Aunt Yuan taught you to make last time?"

Xie Chuchu immediately raised the plate to prevent him from taking it.

"Don't move. This is for His Royal Highness Prince Qi, not for you two. If you two want to eat it, I will make it for you later."

After saying that, he brought out the plate.

Chu Shitong could hear everything that happened in the room clearly from the door.

When the pastries were served, she just opened her eyes and saw the two children staring at the plate of egg yolk pastries from a distance and drooling.

"Your Highness." Xie Chuchu said, "This is Michelin's new egg yolk shortbread. It's not officially on sale yet. Please try it first."

"Ah."

Chu Shitong took one to taste.

The crispy layers of puff pastry brushed with egg liquid are dotted with the aroma of black sesame, and are served with a layer of red bean filling, a layer of soft and glutinous mochi and a whole egg yolk inside. These ingredients seem to have nothing to do with each other, but when combined together, the taste is indeed unexpectedly amazing.

"good."

Chu Shitong ate one and didn't move any more. "Make some more and put them in the insulated pastry box that I sent you before. Bishui will take it away later."

Of course, the hot egg yolk pastry had to be sent to Prince Rong's Mansion for the young master to taste. As for the insulated pastry box, it was the one that Chu Shixuan had given at the beginning.

"Yes." Xie Chuchu bowed and went down.

Although they were subordinates, there was not much communication between the two.

As soon as Xie Chuchu left, Wencheng and Lingling came over secretly.

The two kids looked at the plate of egg yolk pastry eagerly, which made Bishui, who was sitting beside them, laugh.

Chu Shitong said: "Eat whatever you want."

Wencheng and Lingling's eyes lit up.

"really?"

"nature."

Each of them took an egg yolk pastry, and their expressions were so happy when they put them in their mouths.

Bishui looked at them eating so deliciously and felt a little envious: "Your Highness, Bishui wants to eat too."

"eat."

Bishui giggled twice and ran to the two children to eat with them.

"Your Highness Prince Qi."

Perhaps it was Chu Shitong's generosity that made the two children feel closer. While eating, Wencheng suddenly asked, "When will Daddy come? I haven't seen him for several days."

Chu Shitong's expression gradually became confused.

"Ok?"

Do these two kids have a father?

Lingling asked Wencheng: "Brother, does His Royal Highness Prince Qi know our father?"

"Of course I know him." Wencheng said, "Didn't Daddy say that before? He and His Royal Highness Prince Qi are cousins. Maybe we should call His Royal Highness Prince Qi our uncle?"

Chu Shitong: “…”

She asked in a slightly speechless manner: "The father you two are talking about...isn't he the young marquis of the princess's mansion?"

"Yes!"

When Chu Shifan was mentioned, Wencheng and Lingling immediately became interested.

Lingling said, "Although Daddy hasn't married Mom yet, he has already asked us to call her that. But every time we call her that, Mom scolds us."

"That's because mom is still unwilling to marry dad." Wencheng added: "But dad said that he would definitely marry mom."

Wencheng was very confident when he said the last sentence. It seemed that Chu Shifan had told them a lot.

This was something Chu Shifan could sense. Before he even started to figure out the fate, he had already started to trick the two children into calling him dad.

Chu Shitong said: "Your father should be training in the military camp. He might be back in a few days when he has a day off."

"Oh, that's it."

Wencheng asked: "Did Dad really join the army?"

Chu Shitong: “Really.”

Lingling: "Will Daddy go to war and become a great general in the future?"

Wencheng said in a somewhat blaming tone, "Lingling, how can you ask that? People will die in war, and it's good enough that Dad is staying in the capital."

Chu Shitong felt that he was being annoyed to death by these two children, as if they were two little kids talking non-stop in his ears.

She closed her eyes and pretended to be dead, thus enjoying some peace and quiet for a while.

As it approached noon, more and more people came to the restaurant. Chu Shitong was wearing a black suit when he went out today, so no one recognized him.

Wencheng and Lingling were called back by Xie Chuchu to practice calligraphy. The restaurant began to get busy and the aroma of food wafted from the restaurant.

A carriage slowly stopped at the door.

Chu Shihan got out of the car and saw Chu Shitong sleeping on a chair at the door, so he walked up to him and said.

"Xiao Qi has been waiting for a long time."

Chu Shitong then slowly opened his eyes.

Chu Shihan was rarely seen today wearing a black and white ink-dyed robe, which made his already somewhat unapproachable aura even more serious, but his handsome face was not affected at all and remained expressionless as always.

"My brother is here."

Chu Shitong stood up and said, "It didn't take long. I have reserved a seat on the second floor. Let's go up first."

"it is good."

The dining table on the second floor is separated by a curtain. It is much quieter than the hall on the first floor, but because of the curtain, the privacy is not as good as the private room on the third floor.

What Chu Shitong wanted was to be recognized by chance, otherwise it would be awkward for him to bump into Linglan.

When they arrived at their seats, Chu Shitong casually ordered some dishes. During the entire process, Chu Shihan hardly said a word.

When the waiter brought the food and wine, the atmosphere at the table was still cold and a little awkward.

Chu Shitong didn't know when Linglan would come over, so he could only pretend to chat with her.

"I don't know why, but I've been wanting to talk to my brother these days."

Chu Shihan said, "Xiao Qi seems to be in a good mood. I thought you would be feeling very uncomfortable these days."

Chu Shitong: “…”

As expected of Chu Shihan, he left Chu Shitong speechless with just one sentence.

She endured the awkward atmosphere, rubbed her brows, and said, "It is true that I am a little bit, but I am not affected too much. After all, birth, aging, illness and death are normal for human beings. If I become negative and depressed because of this, I will be sorry for the deceased."

Chu Shihan: “Yeah.”

Chu Shitong couldn't continue the conversation, so he reached out and picked up some food for Chu Shihan.

"This dish is good, please try it, my brother."

"Thank you."

"This is not bad either, please try it, my brother."

"Ah."

"..."

Oh shit.

Chu Shitong felt that if Linglan didn't come, he would have picked up all the dishes on the table.

downstairs.

Li Nu and Qing Yu were eating in an inconspicuous corner.

Li Nu asked: "The prince hasn't come yet? Didn't he say that he was most interested in the doll opposite?"

"They should be here soon." Qingyu looked around, "Sister has been waiting in the private room for a long time, and the little prince is also eating on the second floor. It's just right for me to take the little prince in to catch the adulterer later."

Looking at the bright light at the door, Qingyu immediately said, "Here I come!"

The dazzling array of decorations on Si Jingli's body were extremely eye-catching. He was simply a walking jewelry rack. From a distance, one would be blinded by the various gemstones and beads on his body.

Qingyu's eyes were fixed on Si Jingli. After looking for a while, he couldn't help but speak.

"This prince has a decent face, but I don't see anything else that can attract the little prince. He dresses up in a flashy way, and it's obvious that he is a philandering person who despises the poor and loves the rich."

Si Jingli didn't stop and went straight up the stairs.

Someone came this morning to report that a set of dough puppets had been sent from Qinglian. The production process was complicated, the finished product was excellent, and it was a limited edition product of the LEGO chain puppet workshop.

As soon as he received the letter, Si Jingli immediately sent someone to contact the businessman. The two parties agreed to meet on the third floor of the Michelin restaurant, and then discuss the price after seeing the actual product.

He walked through the corridor on the second floor and turned the corner of the stairs, but did not see Chu Shitong behind a layer of gauze curtain.

Because the atmosphere at Chu Shitong's table had become so cold that she didn't want to talk anymore.

Chu Shihan seemed like the kind of person who took one step forward after being kicked. Every time Chu Shitong said something, he would open his mouth to respond.

Since Chu Shitong didn't say anything, there was no sound at the table, just everyone was eating.

After Si Jingli entered the private room on the third floor, the carriage from Prince Duan's Mansion finally arrived at the door of the restaurant.

Linglan came dressed carefully. She deliberately did not wear the clothes from Beiqing, but changed into the gauze skirt she often wore in the Western Regions before she got married. Although she was so cold that she shivered even with the cloak on, she was willing to do it.

Chu Shitong had already invited many storytellers to dine on the first floor. When Linglan appeared, their eyes widened.

Lily of the Valley did not stop and went straight upstairs. The gauze dress she wore was so eye-catching that the group of storytellers made up ten story beginnings on the spot.

Chu Shitong felt that he had never eaten so seriously in his life. When he was cursing Linglan in his heart, Linglan finally found the two of them.

The gauze curtain was opened, and Linglan's acting was so bad that Chu Shitong wanted to run away immediately.

"Ah! Your Highness Prince Qi! What a coincidence!"

She even posed in a way she thought looked good when she lifted the veil.

Chu Shitong raised his head expressionlessly, looked at her poor acting skills, and forced a smile as if he was angry.

"It's a coincidence."

It's so embarrassing.

Master Chu glanced at the two of them coldly without saying a word, but the words "I know everything" were written all over his face.

Linglan was not aware of the emotions of the two people at the table at all. She was so happy to see Chu Shihan today that she forgot everything else and was still acting hard.

"It just so happens that I'm here to eat too. If you don't mind, can I join you?"

Chu Shitong felt his entire body numb, his face had disappeared due to shame and embarrassment, leaving only his cold body still sitting on the chair.

"It's such a coincidence, let's have a meal together." She recited the lines that had been set long ago like a ruthless machine, "I think my brother won't mind."

Linglan looked at Chu Shihan, her eyes sparkling with stars.

Chu Shihan was still as cold as ever, not even looking at her, just lowering his head to eat.

"It's up to Xiao Qi to decide."

Lily of the Valley took a seat naturally.

Chu Shitong had originally planned to say a few hypocritical words and then find an excuse to escape, but Linglan's gaze at Chu Shihan was too fiery, and Chu Shitong, as a bystander, felt a little uncomfortable, so he quickly made an excuse to go to the bathroom and escape.

"I'm going to the toilet. Excuse me."

After saying that, he walked away quickly as if there was fire behind him.

I walked and cursed in my heart.

After doing this, whether successful or not, I will never play with Lily of the Valley again.

Chu Shitong made up his mind silently.

in the house.

When Si Jingli pushed the door open, he smelled a strong floral scent.

He frowned and looked inside. There was a woman sitting at the table. She was beautiful and had a plump figure. Her long curly hair was tied up in a bun, with a few strands hanging down in front of her chest. The neckline of her long skirt was very low, revealing her delicate skin and seductive curves.

"Are you the businessman from Qinglian?"

Nanxue also stood up and bowed to Si Jingli. She raised her head, smiled like a flower, and said in a gentle voice, "That's right, my little girl Nanxue greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Si Jingli hesitated at the door for a moment, but still walked in.

"Where is that set of puppets? I want to see them."

Nan Xue suddenly came forward, pulled his arm through his clothes and walked to the table. She gently pressed his shoulders and sat down, pouring him a glass of wine.

"Your Highness, you must have worked hard on this journey. Let's have a drink first before we talk."

Si Jingli felt that he had sat here inexplicably, with a glass of wine in his hand. He asked in confusion, "Aren't you here to show this prince the puppet?"
