Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily
Chapter 173: A Rare Invitation
Bishui continued, "Our Highness has always missed you. When you were not around, two out of three sentences he mentioned were about you. But when he was in front of you, he couldn't say anything. Doesn't the Crown Prince know our Highness?"
"Of course I know that Chu Shitong can't say a single nice word with three sticks."
Si Jingli was so flattered by Bishui that his tail was about to rise to the sky: "But in the end, it's all because of this prince. This prince is so good, isn't it natural for people to care about him? Should this prince praise her for this kind of thing?"
"That's not necessary..." The moment he said that, he was exposed.
Bishui smiled awkwardly. She found that it didn't even take much effort to persuade Si Jingli. As long as she was given a chance, Si Jingli would be able to comfort himself with his own imagination.
"Your Highness has always wanted to visit the Marquis at the Marquis' Mansion, but the situation in the capital is not peaceful, so this matter has been delayed. Otherwise, how could His Highness come here in person?"
Bishui kept praising Si Jingli for a long time, her throat was so dry that it was about to smoke, but Chu Shitong had not come back yet.
It was getting dark, and Chu Shitong probably hadn't come back yet, so he would probably have to stay somewhere else for dinner.
"Did something happen to our Highness on the way and he was delayed? If His Highness doesn't mind, I will serve you some dinner first."
Si Jingli seemed to have noticed something, and stood up mercifully and said, "Okay, Bishui, stop speaking well for your master. What could possibly happen to Chu Shitong? She has to bring more than 20 secret guards with her when she goes out to listen to a song. This prince thinks she should be planning to stay somewhere else for dinner, right?"
Bishui's smile was awkward and forced.
"This...I can't guess for sure..."
"If it's unfortunate, I'll go back first."
Seeing that Si Jingli was finally leaving, Bishui breathed a sigh of relief.
When he reached the door, Si Jingli stopped again.
Bishui's heart was also lifted up again.
She forced a stiff smile and felt frantic.
Why...why did you stop? Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Although Si Jingli stopped, he did not look back, but he had something to say before leaving.
"I will have someone send an invitation after I go back. You can let Chu Shitong decide whether to come or not. Don't wait for several days to go to Youlonghui. If you make grandfather unhappy, I will not speak well of her."
Hearing the coldness in the tone, Bishui felt that all her efforts for the entire afternoon had been wasted.
It turns out that Si Jingli is still angry.
But fortunately, this invitation is a way for Chu Shitong to get out of the way. As long as he follows Si Jingli's wishes and goes to the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow, there should be no problem.
"I will tell His Highness the truth. Please take care, Your Highness."
……
In fact, Chu Shitong finished her business and left early, but she did not return to the inn. She finally had an afternoon of free time, so she strolled on the road with her two servants, preparing to sell some snacks and listen to some storytelling.
Si Jingli had told her more than once that the storytelling in Quanzhou teahouses was a hundred times better than that in Beijing.
After finding out the best storytelling teahouse nearby, Chu Shitong bought two bags of Quanzhou's unique pastries along the street, went to a tavern to get a pot of good wine, and then slowly walked towards the teahouse.
The two attendants were brought by Rushuang, named Bailing and Wuque. They were not secret guards and were not afraid of being exposed when going out. It just so happened that they were able to stroll on the street with Chu Shitong.
After walking halfway down the street, they saw the teahouse not far ahead. Chu Shitong walked in front, fanning himself, while Bai Ling and Wu Que followed behind, one carrying wine and the other carrying cakes.
Chu Shitong was focused on looking ahead and didn't notice that he bumped into a man coming towards him.
The man was taller than Chu Shitong, and was nearly knocked down by the collision. Chu Shitong subconsciously tried to help him, but the two servants behind him immediately rushed over to block him.
Bai Ling lives up to his name, with a loud voice.
"who?!"
Chu Shitong: “…”
Wu Que held the pot of wine and shouted at the man on the ground: "Don't you have eyes when you walk? How many lives do you have to pay for bumping into my prince?!"
Chu Shitong stood aside speechlessly. The originally bustling street turned to look at them after they shouted.
The looks of the people around me changed instantly.
Chu Shitong really wanted to beat them both to death with two punches. She had a bad reputation to begin with, and now it was even worse, bullying ordinary people in the street.
The man lowered his head, as if frightened, and kept saying in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."
As he said this, he got up from the ground in a somewhat panicked manner.
Chu Shitong stepped forward and glanced at Bai Ling and Wu Que with disdain.
"Alright, it was me who bumped into her because I didn't look where I was going. Keep your voices down. You two must shout so loudly that everyone in Quanzhou can hear you, right?"
In order to appear approachable in front of the people, Chu Shitong stepped forward and tried to help the man up.
"Are you OK?"
However, that person awkwardly took away Chu Shitong's support.
Chu Shitong felt a little strange. Normally, ordinary people would be eager to come up to her and make themselves known to her after learning her identity. Why did this person seem to be avoiding her?
She tried hard to look at the man's face, but he kept his head down. He stood up, turned around and was about to run away.
Before he ran away quickly, he quickly looked up at Chu Shitong.
The moment the two looked at each other, Chu Shitong's pupils suddenly shrank and he stood there in shock.
Qin Wei? !!!
By the time I reacted, the man had already run a short distance away.
Chu Shitong hurriedly said, "What are you looking at? Chase! Catch him!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ling and Wu Que immediately dropped the cakes and wine in their hands and chased after him.
Chu Shitong looked at the cakes and wine on the ground, and the anger in his heart burned all the way to his brain.
Rushuang is already stupid enough, how could she raise two idiots who are even dumber than her?
At the moment, she had no intention of caring about the cakes and wine, nor did she care about her status as she chased after the man.
Can't go wrong.
She would never mistake Qin Wei!
Although it was only a brief glance, she could recognize Qin Wei even if he was burned to ashes!
The man ran very fast, and Bailing and Wuque could not catch up at all. Chu Shitong had no choice but to shout for the secret guards to come out.
Several secret guards rushed out from every corner like ghosts and pushed the man onto the street as quickly as possible.
I ran back and forth across most of the street, and now the people around were watching me secretly.
Chu Shitong no longer cared about saving her face. She walked up to the man, pinched his chin and lifted him up.
Qin Wei has a pale and thin face with sharp features. He looks handsome with a sinister youthful look. People who are not familiar with him may even be frightened by his wolf-like eyes, but Chu Shitong would not be frightened - because Qin Wei is the wolf she raised.
"Still want to run?" Chu Shitong was inexplicably angry when he thought about how he and Ji Shu had searched almost the entire Beiqing and still couldn't find him. "Where do you want to run to?"
Qin Wei lowered his eyes, looking cautious.
He always behaves like this when he pretends to be aggrieved, looking so pitiful, like a wolf begging for mercy.
"I didn't mean to run away... I plead guilty... I shouldn't have offended His Majesty..."
Chu Shitong frowned slightly. Qin Wei seemed different from his previous life.
Low voices of discussion came to his ears one after another, and the people around were watching. Chu Shitong had to give himself a reason to go out on a expedition.
She coughed lightly and said, "After you bumped into me just now, I found that the jade pendant I was carrying was missing. But did you take it away?"
Qin Wei lowered his eyes and said, "I don't have any, Your Majesty, please investigate..."
"Of course we have to investigate clearly." Chu Shitong said, "I will not wrongly accuse anyone. How about this, you let my people take you down and search you. If you don't take anything, then I have wrongly accused you. If you do take something, I will take you to see the authorities."
After making up a random excuse, Chu Shitong saw that the people had accepted the charge, so he quickly ordered his men to take Qin Wei away.
But she did not take Qin Wei to the inn, but to a house she had bought in Quanzhou a long time ago.
She wanted to find out why Qin Wei appeared here and what he was doing now.
……
After questioning for a long time, Chu Shitong finally learned the reason why Qin Wei appeared in Quanzhou.
In this life, his hometown changed to a secluded village in Quanzhou, but his fate remained similar to that of his previous life.
In his previous life, he was sent to a blacksmith shop as an apprentice because of his poverty. In this life, even though he moved to another place, he was still sent to the blacksmith shop because of his poverty, but this time he was completely sold to the blacksmith shop to pay off his debts.
Chu Shitong first ordered his men to arrest him on suspicion of stealing the jade pendant, and then sent someone to the blacksmith shop to inform them of the matter.
If she went to the blacksmith shop with great fanfare to buy Qin Wei back, even a small place like the blacksmith shop would definitely think that Qin Wei was a rare commodity and would rip her off. She thought it would be best to find a reason to get it for free and save some money to buy candy for the young master.
After all, Qin Wei is too weak now. To train him to be like he was in his previous life, the amount of gold and silver that would be spent in the later stage would probably be no less than building a few palaces.
After Chu Shitong arranged Qin Wei to stay in the house, he returned to the inn.
Looking at the invitation on the table, Chu Shitong fell into deep thought.
After listening to Bishui's explanation, she stared at the invitation for a long time, then looked at Bishui who looked guilty, raised her eyebrows and asked, "You mean, after the prince came, he ate three plates of my cakes and drank two pots of tea, and then left without saying a word, and then the Marquis' Mansion sent this invitation, right?"
Bishui didn't dare to tell the truth, she lowered her head and said: "It should be three plates... or four plates, I can't remember clearly..."
"Is the point about those plates of pastries?"
Chu Shitong was speechless. She was no longer the poor prince she used to be.
Bishui pursed her lips, not daring to even raise her head, let alone respond.
Chu Shitong rubbed her eyebrows. In fact, she still hadn't figured out how to meet Si Jingli. Moreover, the invitation came in a strange way. It might not be from Si Jingli, but from the Marquis of Zhenguo.
If Si Jingli came to see her today and found nothing, and was unhappy, and went back to complain to the Marquis of Zhenguo, and the invitation sent by the other party was actually to invite her to lock the door and beat the dog to vent Si Jingli's anger, wouldn't she be miserable?
Originally, Chu Shitong had an appointment tomorrow, so this invitation came at a really bad time.
After much deliberation, Chu Shitong finally ordered his men to postpone the original appointment for tomorrow and visit the Marquis of Zhenguo instead.
In the final analysis, the Marquis of Zhenguo has the final say in Quanzhou.
And the other side.
The lights in Si Jingli's mansion were bright, and the strong smell of incense turned into wisps of smoke and floated out.
Meng Zhiyu and Mu Chuyun stood at the gate and peeked for a long time.
Mu Chuyun said: "What has this bastard done to him? Is he planning to secretly burn down the mansion in the middle of the night?"
Meng Zhiyu sighed and said, "A-li went to King Qi's place this afternoon, but didn't even see him. After he came back, he insisted on sending an invitation. King Qi has been here for so long without saying a word, so he obviously doesn't plan to meet him now. So what's the point of our A-li sending an invitation? Now your father is also angry, how can he meet King Qi tomorrow?"
"Queen Qi? Is she close to that brat?"
"It seems so." Meng Zhiyu lowered his voice and said, "I heard that before Ali came to Quanzhou, he had a quarrel with her in Prince Qi's mansion."
"is it?"
Mu Chuyun sneered, "You dare to quarrel with my nephew. You really don't take my Mu family seriously. Isn't this bullying my nephew because there is no one to support him in Beijing? Mom, you and dad don't have to get angry. Just keep it to yourself. Wait and see how I will teach her a lesson tomorrow. I don't believe she will have any objections when I speak up for dad."
Meng Zhiyu said: "Be careful."
Mu Chuyun said: "I have heard of her a long time ago. She is an ungrateful person. How did Prince Yu treat her in the past? How did she repay him? Why does A-li still play with someone like her?"
"Keep your voice down!" Meng Zhiyu quickly glanced towards the courtyard, "If Ali hears, he will definitely get angry again."
"I don't think so." Mu Chuyun guessed, "Maybe Ali sent the invitation deliberately to give us the opportunity to make the decision. I heard that after Prince Qi was bumped into in the downtown area today, he ordered the secret guards to attack the civilians. He is really ruthless. Ali must have been fed up with her for a long time and was ready to teach her a lesson!"
When Meng Zhiyu heard this, he felt that it seemed to make sense.
If not for this, it seems that Si Jingli would have no other reason to visit Chu Shitong.
"Then let's do as you say. If Ali is unhappy, remember to restrain yourself and don't let him lose face. If Prince Qi really bullies Ali, remember to get back at her. No matter if she is a prince or a noble, the emperor has to give us some face when he comes. Ali is not someone a prince like her can bully casually."
"Mom, don't worry."
……
inside the house.
More than forty servants stood in front of Si Jingli, carrying clothes one by one. Si Jingli was leaning on a chair, and the bright light made his face even more handsome.
He looked carefully at the clothes in front of him and shook his head in dissatisfaction.
The servant beside him immediately said, "If the prince is not satisfied, change to the next batch."
Dozens of people came forward in a row, carrying all kinds of heavy and complicated expensive clothes.
After picking out clothes, I picked out jewelry. After picking out jewelry, I picked out shoes. I spent most of the night picking out everything from top to bottom.
It was almost dawn when the lights in Si Jingli's yard went out.
Mu Chuyun, who got up for morning exercise, happened to see the lights in the yard go out, which made him even more annoyed.
"I didn't expect that the devil could be so angry that he couldn't sleep all night. It seems that the Seventh Prince is really hateful. I must teach her a lesson today."
