Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

The moment Chu Shitong heard this, he clenched his fists.

She frowned and glanced at Chu Shihuan with a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

This idiot, why did he mention Chu Shifan for no reason?

In his previous life, Chu Shihuan did not have the opportunity to recommend someone because Chu Shitong had pushed Xu Zhanqing out long before him.

In this life, Chu Shitong had just pulled Xu Zhanqing back from the brink of danger, and Chu Shihuan inexplicably pulled Chu Shifan out.

Simply sick.

In his previous life, Chu Shifan was transferred from the capital to the remote Liangzhou because he spoke for Chu Shitong in the court. The two never saw each other again until Chu Shitong's death.

Liangzhou was poor and dilapidated, with high mountains and long rivers. Even the local people were cunning and mean. Chu Shitong simply couldn't imagine how much trouble Chu Shifan would encounter if he went there.

The poor princess had to guard the capital alone and never saw her own son again after that.

Thinking of the eldest princess, Chu Shitong immediately spoke.

"Fifth brother, what you said is not good. My cousin is my aunt's only son. If something happens to him on the battlefield, how will you let my father explain to my aunt?"

Chu Shihuan sneered, and when he looked at Chu Shitong, there was a hint of hostility in his eyes that was no longer concealed.

"Xiao Qi has a good relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Young Marquis. She calls them aunt and cousin all the time, which makes people envious."

Chu Shitong twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that he was totally incomprehensible.

The princes and the eldest princess are naturally aunt and nephew, but because of their status, as well as the relationship and status between the concubines in the harem and the eldest princess, except for Chu Shitong, all other princes would not address the eldest princess so intimately.

The royal family is inherently cold-hearted. When they need help, they are like blood relatives, and they are willing to break bones and tendons. When they are not needed, they would rather keep their distance, for fear that the other party's mistake will implicate themselves.

If Chu Shitong had not known that Her Royal Highness the Princess held the secret military command and had real power, to put it bluntly, the Princess had no rights other than being the Emperor's sister.

He was even ordered by Chu Shiyu to stay in Beijing and had no right to return to his fiefdom.

Not to mention Chu Shifan.

Chu Shitong raised his eyes and looked at Chu Shiyu, hoping that for the sake of the eldest princess, Chu Shiyu would not have such an idea.

The eldest princess's husband died of illness in his early years, and the eldest princess now only has this one child. As his uncle, Chu Shiyu can't bear to let his nephew go to the battlefield.

But to her surprise, Chu Shiyu seemed to be really interested in Chu Shihuan's suggestion and lowered his head to think about it.

Chu Shitong began to feel a little anxious.

"Father, the border is dangerous and the war between the two countries is fraught with danger. If something really happens to my cousin, I'm afraid that the Princess will not be able to bear such a shock. I hope Father will think twice."

Her words were earnest. This was the first time she had given such earnest and sincere advice since she came to court.

Chu Shixuan retracted his gaze from Chu Shitong and said, "Father, I also think this suggestion is not good. The young marquis has just joined the army. If he really leads the troops on the front line, I guess he doesn't have the ability to do so. The West Wind Border is of vital importance. If we lose the war because of this, I'm afraid we can't afford the consequences. It's better to pick someone else."

Chu Shiyu seemed a little unhappy, and asked coldly: "This is not possible, and that is not possible. Then who do you think I should send?"

"I do have a recommendation. General Weiwu's son Feng Yang is 20 years old and currently serves as a centurion in the training ground in the capital. He is quite talented and good at martial arts, especially horseback archery. Xifeng Country is good at training horse archers, and making bows on horseback is Feng Yang's strong point. General Weiwu is old, so I think he would like his eldest son to make contributions to Beiqing on his behalf."

Chu Shitong's mind suddenly flashed.

How could she forget about the unlucky guy Feng Yang?

It seemed like I hadn't seen Feng Yang in the past six months. It turned out that he went to the training ground to lead the troops.

Chu Shitong remembered that Feng Yang was indeed talented, but he wisely chose to hide his talents. In his previous life, after Chu Shitong discovered his true talents, he could not win him over, so he simply played a trick and transferred him out of the capital.

As expected of Chu Shixuan, he was ruthless.

"Father, I have also seen General Feng's son. He is indeed a rare talent. It would be safer to have him go to the West Wind Border than to have my cousin, who has just joined the barracks."

Chu Shiyu tried hard to recall the person recommended by Chu Shixuan. After a long silence, he nodded and said, "I remember this son of General Feng. He is indeed good at martial arts."

Chu Shitong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Chu Shiyu said, "Then let Feng Yang and Chu Shifan get ready and go to the West Wind Border together."

Chu Shitong was stunned and hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

"Father!"

"Tong'er."

Chu Shiyu spoke almost at the same time as Chu Shitong, but his voice was low and majestic, and when his eyes stared over, there was a subtle sense of intimidation and a hint of warning.

Such a deliberate interruption almost made Chu Shitong breathless.

All the words that Chu Shitong was about to say to plead for mercy were blocked in his throat.

Chu Shitong opened his eyes slightly wide and looked at the man on the dragon throne, his pupils flickering, and an unstoppable feeling of powerlessness instantly spread throughout his body.

Chu Shiyu looked at her coldly, the distance and indifference in his eyes were so obvious, "You have been very busy in the court these days because of Jiangzhou affairs, I think you must be tired. I will give you another ten days of rest. You can rest well in the mansion, and you don't need to worry about the affairs of the previous court."

As soon as the words fell, Chu Shifan's matter was almost finalized.

It also directly cut off Chu Shitong's opportunity to interfere in this matter.

Take ten more days off!

Ten days later, Chu Shifan had already reached the border! How could Chu Shitong have a chance to speak?

Chu Shiyu was dissatisfied with Chu Shifeng because of what happened to her, so she started to hit him without even giving him a blow on the face.

Chu Shitong stared at Chu Shiyu for a long while before he reluctantly lowered his head and saluted, suppressing the hatred that clenched his teeth as he bit out a few words.

"My dear father, thank you very much."

The matter ended with Chu Shiyu again ordering Chu Shifan and Feng Yang to come to the palace to meet the emperor.

The moment he stepped out of the palace, the coldness on Chu Shitong's face was terrifying.

She walked very fast, as if she was rushing back home to pick up her sword and chop Chu Shihuan.

"Why are you walking so fast, Xiaoqi?"

Chu Shihuan's voice with a mocking smile came from behind her.

Chu Shitong slowly stopped, closed his eyes and took a deep breath to suppress his anger. After he calmed down, he turned around and spoke coldly.

"I have never seen Fifth Brother and my cousin interact with each other. Today, he brought up my cousin for no reason. I don't know what Fifth Brother's intentions are."

Chu Shihuan walked up to Chu Shitong, his tall figure almost covering Chu Shitong completely. He lowered his head slightly, and the grin on the corners of his mouth looked a little scary.

It was so terrifying that Chu Shitong instantly suspected whether Chu Shihuan had seen through his plan to attack him secretly.

"What are you talking about, Xiao Qi?" Chu Shihuan's eyes were like ghost lights in the night, staring straight at Chu Shitong's cold and stunning face. "The young marquis is also my cousin. How could I bear to send him to the battlefield? I just saw that he was eager to make achievements, so I gave him a chance."

"Ah--"

Chu Shitong sneered, his eyes, as clear as glass, were as cold as ice, unconsciously carrying a hint of sharp murderous intent.

"I didn't realize that Fifth Brother is so kind-hearted."

Still so talkative.

"You and this king have never met before, so it's natural that you don't understand each other."

Facing Chu Shitong, Chu Shihuan's attitude was quite natural, and his calmness revealed a nonchalance, as if he was deliberately performing to anger Chu Shitong.

"Your sister-in-law has been looking forward to your visit to Prince Huan's mansion for a long time. I have also called you several times, but you always agreed directly and forgot about it afterwards. You have never come even once. The Sixth Prince even paid a visit once, but the Seventh Prince was too lazy to even put in the effort."

Chu Shihuan mentioned lily of the valley for no reason, and it seemed as if Chu Shitong had suddenly grasped something.

In the past, Chu Shihuan was very indifferent to Linglan.

Even though Linglan had been married into the palace for a long time, people still called her a princess instead of a princess.

It is quite strange nowadays that Chu Shihuan actually calls Linglan "your imperial sister-in-law".

Chu Shitong probably had some guesses in his mind, and he thought that there must be some changes in Prince Huan's mansion, which made Chu Shihuan target him like this.

"That's what my brother said."

Chu Shitong raised the corners of his lips, revealing a cold smile, and said, "Xiao Qi had a bad memory before. Now that my brother has been given a full ten-day rest, Xiao Qi can't wait to thank my brother. It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. I will pay you a visit today. I hope my brother and his wife will not mind my being presumptuous."

"How could I be so presumptuous? Linglan has been thinking about you for a long time and has been looking forward to seeing you day and night."

The atmosphere between the two seemed to have reached the point of being on the verge of a fight, but both of them had smiles on their faces that did not indicate a smile.

If others hadn't seen the naked hostility in their eyes, they would have thought that these two people had a very good relationship.

"Then I'll trouble you, my brother. I won't come empty-handed. I'll go ahead and prepare some gifts for you and your wife. Bye."

Chu Shitong turned around and left quickly.

It seemed that if she stayed here for another second, she would feel like hitting someone.

Chu Shihuan looked at Chu Shitong's back, and the smile on his lips seemed inexplicably sincere.

I don't know what I remembered, but I laughed softly.

"It's really interesting, Xiao Qi... He has grown up and become cruel, showing his teeth and claws to everyone..."

Chu Shixuan and Chu Shihan had been standing behind the two men and silently watched the entire conversation between them.

The two of them watched Chu Shitong's figure completely disappear before they walked forward.

Chu Shixuan looked at the empty palace gate, stood beside Chu Shihuan and said expressionlessly: "Why do you treat her like this? Chu Shifan has been friends with her for many years. You recommended him to go to the border. Didn't you just piss off Xiaoqi?"

Chu Shihuan sneered, his eyebrows stiff and eyes hard, and said: "Lao Liu is so good to her, she can do that to Lao Liu, no matter how I treat her, she will never let me go."

Chu Shihan frowned and said, "Then you don't have to do this. If something really happens to Chu Shifan, not to mention Xiaoqi, my father and the princess may not let you off easily."

Hearing Chu Shihan's voice, Chu Shihuan frowned and glared at him, making Chu Shihan, such a rigid person, feel extremely uncomfortable with just two glances.

He took a step back slightly, the hem of his snow-white robe swaying slightly, and asked with some confusion and some disgust.

"Why are you looking at me like this?"

Chu Shihuan said nothing, but just looked him up and down.

That look.

It was just like picking out a beauty in a brothel, and she wanted to look him over carefully from head to toe.

Chu Shihan couldn't stand his gaze. If he didn't really have something to say, he would have turned and left long ago.

"She has long forgotten all that happened in the past. She doesn't remember, but you and I both know that today you have touched her heart with someone she cares about. In the future, she will regard you as her enemy."

Chu Shihuan chuckled, "What's wrong with me? I just recommended Chu Shifan to go to the border. Why does Xiaoqi regard me as an enemy? Who in the military camp doesn't want to make achievements? Xifeng has never been Beiqing's opponent. I am sending the merit directly to Chu Shifan. If she really cares about Chu Shifan, why doesn't she think about it? If he is not on good terms with Xiaoqi, how can he, a soldier who has just joined the army, lead the troops to go to war? In the future, Chu Shifan will return with a great victory and be awarded the title of major general. He will definitely be eager to come to my house to thank me for my support."

Chu Shihan was silent for a moment. No one could be sure of winning or losing on the battlefield, but Xifeng had not been a match for Beiqing for more than ten years, so there was a high probability that there would be no problems this time.

He saw that Chu Shihuan's words to Chu Shitong were just teasing and there was no real hostility, so he said nothing more and turned away.

Chu Shihuan looked at Chu Shihan's back, suddenly took a deep breath and cursed softly.

"I don't know how I am worse than him."

Chu Shixuan looked at him quietly, and calmly and bluntly exposed Chu Shihuan's thoughts.

"Are you speaking up for Princess Lily of the Valley?"

Chu Shihuan knew that he couldn't hide it from Chu Shixuan, so he just told it directly.

"I'm not complaining, I just think it's unfair."

"Why?"

"Xiao Qi has forgotten everything, but we all remember it, but we can't bring it up. She can be a double-faced prince who kills for the throne, but we have to take into account our past affection and guilt and take extra care of her. Why?"

Chu Shixuan lowered his eyes, adjusted his cuffs, and said slowly: "This is not all. If it were just this, you wouldn't have been targeting the third brother all this time."

Seeing Chu Shixuan say this, Chu Shihuan had to suppress his displeasure and reluctantly told the real reason.

"Xiao Qi has been secretly instigating Ling Lan to be with Lao San, and even took advantage of me not being in the capital to secretly arrange a private meeting between Lao San and Ling Lan. You know, I hate it most when others covet my things.

It was not my original intention to marry Linglan, and I never treated her harshly after I married her. Xiaoqi's disloyalty made me a laughing stock in the whole capital. If it weren't for the fact that the third brother had some brains and refused, I would have rushed into the Han Palace with a knife.

She was secretly stirring up trouble and wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight. I just made her angry, but in fact I was secretly helping her. You guys, on the other hand, directly treated me as a sinner and lectured me, as if I had done something extremely bad.

It's time for you and Lao San to look at her differently. She is no longer the Xiao Qi of the past. She is now a wolf, a hypocritical and vicious wolf."
