Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Chu Shitong just felt that Chu Shixuan was a little scary at this time.

But she didn't know why Chu Shixuan suddenly became like this.

"Brother, what's wrong with me? Why have you become an old person?"

Perhaps it was because her eyes were too clear when she asked this question, so that Chu Shixuan stared at her quietly for a few seconds, and the sourness in his heart disappeared under her gaze.

"nothing."

Chu Shixuan stopped his movements and seemed to have become his usual gentle self again.

He stroked Chu Shitong's soft hair and asked, "Xiao Qi, do you think I am better to you or Sixth Brother is better to you?"

"Of course my brother is good to me."

Chu Shitong hugged his waist and raised his head. His pair of light brown eyes were sparkling, and he looked like a simple person who was heartless and didn't bear grudges.

Chu Shixuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, and put his arm around her shoulders with satisfaction. His voice became deeper and gentler, with a hint of coaxing, as he spoke.

"That's good. You must always remember that I am the best person to you in this palace, and I am also the only one who will not harm you. Do you understand?"

Chu Shitong smiled sweetly and said, "I know. I like my brother the most."

Chu Shixuan said: "Then you must always love your brother like this."

"Of course I will always love my brother."

Chu Shitong's matter-of-fact look immediately made Chu Shixuan happy.

It is also possible that Chu Shixuan was not angry with her in the first place.

Chu Shitong vaguely felt that Chu Shixuan didn't like Chu Shifeng very much, so after that, she seldom mentioned Chu Shifeng in front of Chu Shixuan.

But Chu Shixuan was always busy. As time went by, he became busier and busier and was rarely in Dongyi No. 1 during the day.

Chu Shitong would stick with Chu Shifeng all day long during such days.

Originally, she was afraid of Chu Shifeng, but after watching the white jade parrot together that day, Chu Shifeng came to her yard to find him again and again. After more interactions, Chu Shitong gradually felt that Chu Shifeng was not so scary.

Warm afternoon, cool shade from green trees.

The two of them were lying on a bamboo mat, and on the low table beside them was an exquisite bird cage.

Chu Shifeng was holding a small windmill with gold foil in his hand, and its leaves were rustling in the sultry wind.

Just when Chu Shitong was feeling sleepy, he suddenly heard Chu Shifeng ask a question.

"Xiao Qi, where did you go last night?"

Chu Shitong was no longer sleepy.

Yesterday, Chu Shifeng asked her to come to the East Fourth Office to sleep with him at night, but Chu Shitong did not agree, giving the reason that she was only interested in her pillow.

She lied, "I...I slept."

"Go to sleep?"

Chu Shifeng snorted coldly: "Why did I hear that you went to see Chu Shixuan?"

Chu Shitong felt more and more guilty, "My brother made some ripe pear cake and asked me to go eat it... so I went."

"You don't have time to sleep with me, but you have time to eat ripe pear cake, right?"

Chu Shifeng suddenly grabbed her wrist tightly, as if torn apart the past relationship, and his tone became cold and stern.

"Is it because I don't treat you well enough? I send people to deliver food and daily necessities to you every day, so why do you still go to play with Chu Shixuan? Is it possible that I am not as good as Chu Shixuan?"

Chu Shitong explained awkwardly: "No! Sixth brother is very good to me!"

"Then why did you go to find Chu Shixuan?"

"Because... because my brother is also good to me..."

Chu Shitong said aggrievedly: "You all treat me well, I don't want to make you sad..."

Chu Shifeng grabbed her fiercely and asked, "Then tell me! Who do you like best, me or Chu Shixuan?"

Chu Shitong looked at his angry eyes and felt scared. After hesitating for a moment, he said weakly, "I like...Sixth Brother the most..."

Chu Shifeng then shook off her hand and asked, "Why do you sound so aggrieved? Did this prince bully you?"

"No."

Chu Shitong's eyes suddenly turned red, "I just felt that Sixth Brother was so scary just now..."

"..."

Chu Shifeng glared at her, "Why are you crying? You are so useless. You have been playing with me for so long, why are you still acting like a woman? Stop crying."

As soon as he got angry, Chu Shitong's tears started to fall.

Chu Shifeng suddenly became at a loss.

"I just said one thing to you, is it that serious?"

The more she talked, the more she cried.

The aggrieved look of being bullied made Chu Shifeng even more annoyed.

Besides feeling irritated, I also doubted whether I had gone too far.

"Okay, stop crying. I didn't mean to be mean to you. You just lied to me."

Only then did Chu Shitong stop crying.

"I didn't mean to lie, I was just afraid you'd get angry if I told you the truth..."

Chu Shifeng softened his tone and said, "Then don't lie to me anymore."

Chu Shitong nodded with tears in his eyes.

Chu Shifeng was still a little unhappy, and he insisted, "Swear to me, or I won't believe you."

Chu Shitong asked: "How do I swear?"

Chu Shifeng held her hand and swore, "Say, swear to heaven, if you lie to me in the future, you will die a miserable death."

Although Chu Shitong did not understand the meaning, he still did it.

"I...I swear to God, if I ever lie to Sixth Brother again, I will die a miserable death."

She felt that this was a very solemn ceremony, and that God would surely hear people when they swore. If she broke her promise, God would definitely keep his word and punish her.

Chu Shifeng felt a little better.

"I will forgive you this time. If you dare to lie to me again next time, I will punish you if God doesn't."

"I don't dare anymore."

Chu Shitong pulled his sleeve, moved closer, and continued to look at him seriously with those round, gem-like eyes.

"Sixth brother, I really know I was wrong."

Chu Shifeng looked into her eyes, which were very close to him. He seemed to be able to faintly smell the faint scent of pear blossoms on her body. His brain suddenly stopped working for a few seconds, and then he looked away in panic, saying, "Just talk, why are you getting so close? What man would act like a spoiled child like you?"

At this age, Chu Shitong didn't know how her coquettishness was a foul tactic. She only knew to stick close to them and say nice things, and her two good brothers would forgive her even if they were angry.

"Then I... won't do this in front of you anymore."

"no!"

Chu Shifeng said without thinking: "If you don't act like a spoiled child to this prince, who else do you want to act like a spoiled child to? Chu Shixuan?"

Chu Shitong muttered softly: "Big brother will never say that I am not manly..."

"..."

Chu Shifeng gritted his teeth and said, "Just think that I was wrong. You can do whatever you want in the future. I won't stop you if you want to act like a spoiled child. Do you understand?"

Chu Shitong didn't know what Chu Shifeng was talking about.

Why do I feel unwilling one moment and willing the next?

She couldn't figure it out, so she just nodded obediently.

……

rainy night.

The carriage stopped in front of Dongsi Institute in a grand manner.

Today, Chu Shifeng took her to the theater to watch a play. Chu Shitong was very happy from the time she left the palace to the time she came back.

He was still full of energy even when he got off the carriage.

"Be careful."

Chu Shifeng looked at her with disdain as she jumped off the car, then turned around and signaled his servants to hold an umbrella for Chu Shitong.

Chu Shitong smiled and said, "Sixth brother, I'm so happy. It's so fun outside."

Chu Shifeng looked at her satisfied expression and felt relieved in his heart, but he pretended to be a grown-up and said, "It's just a show, what's there to be happy about?"

With Chu Shitong's status, he couldn't even leave the palace, let alone go to the best booth in the theater to listen to opera.

However, this is just a common occurrence for Chu Shifeng.

Chu Shitong said, "I have only been out once, when my father took us to Qingliang Mountain Villa to escape the summer heat. If it weren't for Sixth Brother taking me out today, I wouldn't have known there were so many fun things outside. Sixth Brother is really amazing!"

Her tone was pure admiration.

It greatly satisfied Chu Shifeng's vanity.

"You really haven't seen much of the world." Chu Shifeng said proudly, "I'll take you to Jiangzhou when I have the chance. My grandfather's house has everything. It's much more fun than the capital."

Chu Shitong asked excitedly: "Really?"

She was extremely curious about her grandfather Chu Shifeng. All those novel and luxurious gadgets in Chu Shifeng's hands were collected by him from all over the place.

"Of course it's true."

Chu Shifeng said: "Jiangzhou is my territory. As my loyal brother, I can guarantee that no one will dare to say anything to you no matter what you do there."

Chu Shitong rushed over and hugged him, saying happily, "Great! Long live Sixth Brother!"

Chu Shifeng felt awkward for a moment and wanted to push her away, but seeing her happy expression, he stopped his hand in mid-air and didn't push it away for a long time.

After a long while, he said, "Okay, it's getting late, you should go back."

Chu Shitong then let go, turned around and took a few steps before uttering a surprised "Huh?"

Chu Shifeng had not left yet. Hearing her say this, he took the initiative to step forward.

"what happened?"

Chu Shitong pointed at the lonely figure under the big tree deep in the alley and said, "Why is Third Brother sitting there?"

Chu Shihan, who was standing under the tree, had his clothes mostly wet by the rain, and he was staring into the distance with empty and dull eyes.

He seems to always be like a puppet.

Chu Shifeng didn't have a good attitude towards Chu Shihan, and said with disdain: "Isn't he like this every day? Don't bother with him."

"But he looks so pitiful."

"Xiao Qi should stay away from him." Chu Shifeng said, "He is the prince that father hates the most. If you get close to him, nothing good will happen."

He seemed to have no interest in Chu Shihan at all. After saying that, he turned around and went back to the East Fourth Institute.

A group of people hurriedly followed and left, and in a blink of an eye, only Chu Shitong and Bishui were left in the alley.

Bishui was holding an umbrella, and the lantern in her hand was flickering in the wind.

"Your Highness, let's go back too."

Chu Shitong was still nervous after the trip and had no desire to sleep. He said, "You go back first. I'll go see my third brother."

She was curious about what Chu Shihan was doing.

What are you looking at, or what are you waiting for.

Bishui originally wanted to stay with Chu Shitong, but Chu Shitong asked her to go back and make the bed first. Chu Shifeng bought a lot of things for her on the street, and these things also needed to be stored away, so Bishui had to go back to East Fifth Institute first.

Chu Shitong walked towards Chu Shihan alone with an umbrella.

He still didn't react until he came to Chu Shihan's side.

"Third brother, what are you doing? Why don't you hold an umbrella?"

Chu Shitong asked several questions but got no answer.

But she did not leave. Instead, she sat beside him, holding an umbrella to protect him from the rain, counting the happy things in her heart, and chattering about the play she had watched today.

"That man flew up in a flash, and spun many times in the sky before falling down. The stick in his hand also spun along with it. It was really beautiful. By the way, Sixth Brother said that the stick was called a red tassel spear..."

"Third brother, have you been outside? I saw so many people today. The streets were full of people..."

She chattered for a long time.

By the end of his speech, his voice was hoarse and he felt sleepy. The hand holding the umbrella was swaying along with his body and he felt drowsy.

The child was so sleepy that he was still mumbling about what he saw this afternoon, and the next second his umbrella tilted and he fell asleep leaning on Chu Shihan.

Chu Shihan felt the weight on his shoulders, and his distracted eyes finally came back to life.

He stared at Chu Shitong, who was sleeping with his body leaning against him, for a long time and continued to sit like that.

It was pitch dark until late at night.

He slowly stood up, picked up Chu Shitong and sent her back to East Fifth Institute.

……

The next day, Chu Shitong woke up in bed.

Bishui said that she was sent back by Chu Shihan last night. Chu Shitong suddenly felt something in his heart touched, and asked in surprise: "Did the third brother move? Did he speak?"

Bishui shook her head.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince sent you back and left."

Chu Shitong felt a little disappointed, but she felt that there would definitely be a chance for her to hear Chu Shihan speak.

When she brought up this matter at Dongsi Institute, Chu Shifeng scoffed at her idea.

"What's the point of listening to him?"

"I remember that my third brother was not like this before."

It was just a vague picture she remembered when she was very young.

In the past, Chu Shihan was just as favored as Chu Shifeng. Every time there was a palace banquet, the prince's table was particularly lively.

Chu Shifeng naturally remembered it, but he didn't care. He teased the katydid in his hand and said, "He has become like this since his mother was banished to the cold palace. It's useless even if the emperor comes. I advise you to save your efforts."

"The Third Brother is good-looking. I want to see if he looks like what I imagine when he smiles."

Chu Shifeng looked at her, "No matter how pretty she is, she is better looking than me?"

"..."

Chu Shitong also didn't know why Chu Shifeng loved to compare himself with others on many points. When she compared himself with Chu Shixuan before, whenever she praised Chu Shixuan on something, Chu Shifeng would have to compare himself with Chu Shixuan non-stop, and every time he would force her to admit that he was better than Chu Shixuan.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Chu Shifeng raised his brows even higher and even put the katydid in his hand back into the cage.

"What do you mean? Do you think I'm not as good as him?"

"how come."

Chu Shitong said: "Sixth brother is also good-looking, you and third brother are good-looking in different ways."

Chu Shifeng snorted coldly: "Don't try to get rid of me with such words. Tell me, who is more handsome, this prince or him?"

Chu Shitong had already understood Chu Shifeng's character during their time together.

He loves to be praised by others, and he is very vain and competitive, and he can't stand others saying that he is not as good as others in any way. Chu Shitong also remembered what Chu Shixuan taught her, that she should say what she wants to say in front of different people, and she should remember that Chu Shixuan is the best in everything, and she should not say it directly.

"Of course, Sixth Brother is the best looking." Chu Shitong said, "I like Sixth Brother the best."

"I don't believe what the little ungrateful bastard says."

Chu Shifeng said this, but the corners of his lips were already curved.
