Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Chu Shitong didn't fall for her trick. If she didn't get the old woman out quickly, she would probably be closely watched by the Queen in the future.

But she didn't intend to ask this directly, instead she asked Bishui.

"Bishui, what do you think of what Nanny Tian said?"

Bishui thought seriously for a while and said, "I think she is not a good person. She is old, has a bad heart, and is a changeable person. What she says cannot be trusted."

Chu Shitong burst out laughing. This was happening in front of others, and Bishui thought he was really asking for her opinion.

Tian Huiying gritted her teeth and smiled: "Miss Bishui, I just wanted to teach you some rules and scare you, but I didn't really want to hit you."

Bishui pointed at her still red cheeks unconvinced and asked, "Why didn't you hit me? Wasn't this what you did just now?"

Tian Huiying smiled awkwardly and said, "Isn't it because the girl has always irritated me? I can't help it. I'm old, so it's inevitable that I'm a little confused."

Bishui snorted, ignored her, turned around and ran behind Chu Shitong.

Seeing that Chu Shitong seemed to have nothing to say, Tian Huiying said, "Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, from now on, all the major and minor matters in the palace will be handled by this servant."

Chu Shitong glanced at the door and asked, "What's the big deal?"

Tian Huiying said, "From the expenditure of money in the mansion, the management of the family property, to the allocation of positions and daily trivial matters, these are all within the scope of management of this servant, and this is also the will of the Queen."

"How come I didn't know that my aunt likes to meddle in such matters?"

Chu Shifan's voice came from the door. He was wearing a navy blue suit, and was tall and slender. He was the tallest man of his age, over eight feet tall. He walked from a distance with an angry voice, which was a bit scary.

Si Jingli, who was following behind him, was also dressed in red, gently waving a white jade fan, walking casually, looking around at the scene in the mansion, and rarely did he show a look of disgust.

Tian Huiying looked over when she heard the voice, and then her body froze in place in an instant.

Chu Shifan came towards her with great force, and Tian Huiying was so scared that she knelt down immediately.

"Greetings, sir. Greetings, His Royal Highness."

The people around also knelt down and saluted.

Chu Shifan asked angrily, "Why don't you tell me what your aunt told you to do? Tell me exactly what she said, and I will go to the palace to ask. If you miss a word, I will not let you off!"

He could tell at a glance that this servant wanted to use chicken feathers as a token of authority to bully Chu Shitong.

Tian Huiying was so scared that she begged for mercy again and again, "Oh! Sir, please calm down! I am just following your orders!"

"What order? I told you to repeat exactly what your aunt said. Are you deaf?"

"This……"

Tian Huiying was panicked. She never expected that Chu Shifan and Si Jingli, the two little devils, would suddenly appear. She was so anxious that she was sweating profusely and couldn't make up a story.

Si Jingli walked over slowly and said, "Why make such a fuss? In my opinion, there is no need to ask. Based on the attitude she showed to the master just now, she should be dragged out and beaten to death."

His light words frightened Tian Huiying so much that she completely broke down. It was not for any other reason, but because Si Jingli really dared to have someone beat her to death.

"Your Highness, please spare my life!" Tian Huiying said with tears streaming down her face, "It was the Queen who ordered me to be the nanny in charge. I am only following her orders!"

Her words couldn't scare Si Jingli.

"Madame in Charge?" Si Jingli sneered. "Madame in Charge is just a position responsible for supervising servants and giving orders, but what you just said are all the tasks that the head of the family should do. I wonder if this is also ordered by the Queen?"

Tian Huiying said in panic: "I remembered it wrongly. I am old and my memory is not good! It has nothing to do with the Queen!"

Now the servants on the side also understood that it was Tian Huiying who had promoted herself for half a day.

Si Jingli looked at Chu Shitong, with a look of seeking credit on his face, and said, "Chu Shitong, this is your servant, what do you think we should do with him?"

Chu Shifan said angrily: "This dog slave! She wants to take advantage of the opportunity to be the master! How hateful! Xiaoqi, don't be so good-tempered, just beat her up and throw her out!"

Chu Shitong was naturally not satisfied with Chu Shifan's proposal, and asked, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Si Jingli did not answer directly. He tapped his palms lightly with his fan and said, "In the Rong Palace, servants who dare to bully the master will be beaten to death."

Tian Huiying's face turned pale in an instant.

Chu Shitong thought in a dog-like manner: "Isn't it a bit too heavy?"

Chu Shifan also felt that it was a bit too much. He was just angry and wanted to beat Tian Huiying up, not wanting Tian Huiying to die. But strictly speaking, for doing such a thing of betraying the master, she deserved to be beaten to death.

Si Jingli paused what he was doing, and his face, which had originally had a faint smile on it, instantly turned dark.

"Since you have asked this prince, and I have answered, what do you mean by saying these words now?"

"Don't be angry, Your Highness. I was just saying it casually. There is a reason why Prince Rong did this."

Chu Shitong then walked down the stairs and said, "Then let's follow the rules of Prince Rong's Mansion. Come, drag him down and beat him to death."

The guards who had just come forward and dragged Tian Huiying out. Tian Huiying begged for mercy desperately, crying so heartbreakingly, like a pig being slaughtered.

But Chu Shitong turned a deaf ear to him. She had long wanted to drag Tian Huiying out and beat her to death. A servant was showing off his power by relying on the master behind him, and he was doing it on his own territory. Isn't this courting death?

The servants standing by didn't dare to say a word and knelt straight.

Chu Shitong said: "Although Nanny Tian was sent by the Queen, this is the Seventh Prince's residence. We cannot tolerate people who recognize others as their master. Do you understand?"

Her words were still so calm and friendly, as if she was not the one who ordered people to drag Tian Huiying out and beat her to death.

Everyone lowered their heads and nodded repeatedly. They originally thought that Chu Shitong was the prince with the best temper, but they never expected that he would have Nanny Tian beaten to death right away. This show of power, coupled with Chu Shitong's calm tone, frightened them so much that they had a subversive change of mind and fear towards Chu Shitong.

Chu Shitong said: "Bishui, you are responsible for allocating these people. If Xuan Changji comes back, let him allocate them."

"Yes."

Chu Shitong took Chu Shifan and Si Jingli to the east courtyard where they lived. When they passed by Bishui, they saw a red mark on her face from the beating she had just received.

When Bishui was being beaten, Chu Shitong could have come out to stop it, but she didn't do so, because if she stopped it at this time, it would not cause any real harm to Bishui, and it would be difficult for her to deal with Tian Huiying directly.

It didn't matter to Chu Shitong that Bishui was slightly injured, because her heart was still as cold as it was in her previous life.

……

East courtyard.

The dilapidated courtyard had not been cleaned up yet. After Bishui assigned the cleaning work, Xuan Changji happened to come back. Bishui immediately became a hands-off boss and threw the task to Xuan Changji and immediately returned to Chu Shitong.

Chu Shitong took Chu Shifan and Si Jingli back to his own dormitory, which was also the only relatively clean and tidy place in the entire mansion.

"Cousin, His Royal Highness, please take a seat."

Chu Shitong was very polite when he spoke.

Chu Shifan looked her up and down again and again, as if he almost saw through Chu Shitong.

Chu Shitong felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he asked, "Cousin, why are you looking at me like that?"

"When I woke up this morning, I heard that there was a fire in East Fifth Institute last night. I also heard from the teacher that you took sick leave and didn't come to the academy. I was so scared that I was absent-minded the whole morning. Fortunately, I met the Sixth Prince at noon. The Sixth Prince said that you were fine and were just frightened by the fire. His Majesty also specially granted you a mansion. I didn't believe it at first, but now that you look good, I think the fire last night should not have hurt you, so I feel relieved. After I go back, I will tell my mother so that she can feel more at ease."

Chu Shitong asked in surprise, "My aunt also knows about this?"

"Of course." Chu Shifan said, "I heard that the fire at East Fifth Institute last night was quite big, and it was even seen outside the palace. Naturally, my mother also heard about it, and she urged me to go to the academy early in the morning to see how you are and whether you were injured by the fire."

Chu Shitong smiled and said, "I'm sorry that my cousin and aunt were worried. It's Xiaoqi's fault. I slept until the afternoon and forgot to send someone to tell my cousin and aunt."

Chu Shifan waved his hand nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? Even if you sent someone to tell me, I still have to come and see it in person to feel at ease, right?"

Si Jingli coughed twice, seeming to feel a little uncomfortable because he had been ignored for a long time.

Chu Shitong said, "By the way, I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just now in the courtyard."

Si Jingli did not respond, but instead placed the white jade fan he had been fiddling with in his hand in front of Chu Shitong.

Chu Shitong looked at Si Jingli in confusion, but Si Jingli had already looked away. Chu Shitong had no choice but to pick up the white jade fan, open it and take a look.

Chu Shifan came over to take a look and said, "Eh? Isn't this the fan you always held in your hand, Xiaoqi? I was wondering why I always felt like something was missing these days. It turns out that this fan is in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The white jade fan was the same one that Chu Shitong had used before. The broken parts had been carefully repaired by a skilled craftsman. Although there were still slight cracks when looking closely, it was much better than before.

The fan surface has not been moved, but the handle and the ribs have been trimmed with a circle of gold wire from the original white jade. At the same time, it covers the original traces of cracks and reinforces the corners of the white jade ribs that are easily bumped. It also looks more noble than the original single milky white smoky jade.

It had indeed been restored with great care. Even Chu Shitong felt that it could be restored to this state within a few days. Si Jingli must have spent a lot of money.

"Thank you, Your Highness. This fan has been restored to a much more refined state. I think Your Highness must have put a lot of thought into it."

Si Jingli was not polite either, and said, "Since you know that I have spent a lot of effort to repair your fan, why don't you treat me to a good meal?"

"Of course." Chu Shitong said with a smile, "Your Highness the Crown Prince came to visit me with my cousin. This kind gesture is priceless. You are an honored guest of our house. I will naturally entertain you well in a while."

"Don't try to fool me with a table of rabbit rice. If you do, I'd better go back home for dinner."

Chu Shifan laughed when he heard the phrase "rabbit rice". "Yes, Xiaoqi, His Royal Highness and I have come from afar, so you can't be stingy. If it's really rabbit rice, I won't even stay, let alone His Royal Highness."

Chu Shitong smiled helplessly and said, "You have seen the situation in the mansion now. Not to mention a proper cook, I am afraid there is not even a clean place to eat. If my cousin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince don't mind, I will treat you to a meal out, okay?"

Chu Shifan's words just now were just talk. To him, there was no difference between drinking in a magnificent palace and drinking at a stall in a busy street. Now it depends on whether Si Jingli is willing or not. After all, he is notoriously difficult to serve.

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

Si Jingli said: "It's not impossible. If you want to eat at a restaurant outside, you have to go to the restaurant ordered by this prince."

"Your Highness, please feel free to say so. Since I have agreed, there is no reason to regret it."

As soon as Chu Shitong said this, he was ready to be slaughtered.

The capital city is big, but also small. There are only one or two restaurants that Si Jingli likes. By the way, she also wants to see other things.

"Then let's go to Xibaolou."

……

Xibaolou is located in the west of the city. It is just around the corner from the main gate of the mansion and is very close.

At present, Xibaolou is one of the largest restaurants in the capital. Even princes like Chu Shifeng like to go to Xibaolou to eat some of its signature dishes on weekdays.

But Chu Shitong clearly remembered that within two years, Xibaolou would be replaced by another restaurant. The owner behind that restaurant was a woman, a legendary figure among the merchants in Beijing.

I heard from my former subordinates that the woman's husband died in the battlefield, and she supported her family with her superb cooking skills. After making a name for herself in the countryside, she came to the capital city to make a living so that her children could study under a famous teacher, regardless of the hardships.

At the beginning, she worked as a cook in the kitchen of Xibao Building.

There were too many chefs in Xibaolou, with at least twenty chefs of various dishes added up. Although she had cooking skills, she repeatedly ran into obstacles in Xibaolou because she was a woman. The owner of Xibaolou was also a man with very ugly eating habits. Finally, she couldn't stand this discrimination and insult, so she chose to leave Xibaolou and open her own shop and restaurant in the capital.

At that time, he was still working with a subordinate from his previous life. Xie Chuchu provided superb cooking skills, and his subordinate provided various strategies and means of attracting customers.

In just two years, it has grown from a small restaurant in a deep alley to the most famous restaurant in Beijing.

One can imagine the hardships involved.

Chu Shitong calculated the time and found that it was around the time when the woman had just arrived at Xibaolou.

The restaurant was noisy and bustling, with all kinds of conversations from the guests mixed together.

The private rooms on the upper and lower floors are occupied by the children of wealthy families. The waiters are busy as hell, the accountant's hands are shaking as he counts money, the air is filled with the aroma of dishes and the scent of wine.

Chu Shitong brought Chu Shifeng and Si Jingli into the private room. The faint scent of sandalwood filled the air. The bright candlelight shone through the hollow carved windows, making it seem as if it were daytime. The exquisite carved decorations were antique in style.

Si Jingli ordered eighteen dishes, and Chu Shifan asked for twenty jars of the best wine, and neither of them was polite at all.

Dishes were served one after another, wine was poured glass by glass, and under the light, several people were having a happy conversation.

"Prince Si." Chu Shifan drank several jars of wine and finally couldn't help asking what was on his mind, "You ordered all the dishes on this table, why did you not even move your chopsticks?"
