Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Late at night, the palace banquet ended.

Chu Shifan went back to Cangfeng Pavilion to sleep. Bishui then went into the backyard and saw Chu Shitong sleeping in the rocking chair. She went over and touched her gently.

"Your Highness, it's cold at night. Do you want to go back to the room and rest?"

Chu Shitong finally woke up. She rubbed her eyes and asked casually, "What time is it now?"

Bishui said: "It's already midnight."

"Go down, don't worry about me."

Chu Shitong sent Bishui away and then called Rushuang out.

Rushuang came down from the tree and half-knelt in front of Chu Shitong to salute.

Chu Shitong said: "No need to be polite, this prince wants to ask you a question."

Rushuang lowered her head without saying a word and did not stand up.

Chu Shitong ignored her and told her to just bow if she wanted to. He couldn't stop her anyway.

"Who is the person who taught you in Shadow Pavilion?"

Rushuang paused, raised her head, and had a strange expression of struggle.

Chu Shitong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can't tell?"

Rushuang pursed her lips and said, "The person who taught me is called Hawkeye."

"Aside from being loyal to their master, are there any other rules that the Shadow Pavilion teaches its secret guards?"

"I cannot say."

Hearing Rushuang say this, Chu Shitong probably guessed that if there were no other rules, Rushuang would naturally say no, but she said she couldn't say it, which meant there was.

"Do you have to report your master's movements and your own movements to the Shadow Pavilion every once in a while?"

As soon as Chu Shitong finished speaking, Rushang's eyes widened in surprise.

When Chu Shitong saw it, he knew that his guess was almost correct.

The Shadow Pavilion is most likely influenced by the eldest princess, or perhaps someone who is loyal to the emperor as well as the eldest princess, so the eldest princess can intercept and know intelligence so easily.

Although Rushuang was surprised, she still kept her mouth shut and didn't say anything.

"From now on, you are not allowed to report this prince's movements to the Shadow Pavilion."

Rushuang said: "But I will be held accountable if I do this."

Chu Shitong closed his eyes and concentrated, "Don't worry, it won't happen. I have already negotiated with the higher-ups in the Shadow Pavilion, and she won't have any objections."

After not hearing Rushuang's answer for a long time, Chu Shitong said again: "If you report it again, I will directly issue a death order to you."

The death order is an irresistible order among the secret guards. If the master wants the secret guard to die, the secret guard must die.

Even if he escapes, the training camp that trains secret guards will not let him go.

Basically, once a death order was issued, one would either commit suicide or be killed.

Chu Shitong was not afraid of the lack of secret guards around him. At worst he could buy a few secret guards. Ru Shuang's martial arts were so powerful that it would be a waste of her talent to keep her by his side.

Chu Shitong usually either rests or goes to school. For such a long time, Chu Shitong has not given any important instructions to Rushuang except for the Zhou family.

Rushuang didn't say anything.

Chu Shitong said lazily, "I'm just telling you that it's your business whether to report or not, but how I deal with you after you report is my decision. I won't show mercy to you just because you are the best shadow guard in Shadow Pavilion in recent years. I have my own way to explain to my father. If you report, you should eat more delicious food in advance. Eat whatever you want."

Rushuang: “…”

She held it in for a long time before finally uttering a sentence.

"If I don't report it, and the Shadow Pavilion wants to punish me..."

"Impossible. If you want to be punished, you should let him come to this prince in person."

Chu Shitong's words were decisive and confident, and Rushuang reluctantly agreed.

"I obey my orders."

Chu Shitong was lying in a rocking chair. The night breeze was cool, and it was even a little chilly at the foot of the mountain.

After lying down for a while, Chu Shitong realized that Rushang seemed to be still there, so he opened his eyes and looked. Sure enough, Rushang was standing beside him with a hesitant expression on her face.

Chu Shitong was a little annoyed, "Don't worry, Shadow Pavilion won't look for you."

Rushuang said: "I am not worried about this matter."

"Then why don't you leave? What are you doing here? Watching this prince sleep?"

Rushuang lowered her head and said, "No...someone came when Your Highness was sleeping just now."

Chu Shitong then stood up and asked, "Who? Why didn't anyone report it?"

"It's Prince Si."

Chu Shitong was stunned, and looked at her speechlessly: "What is he doing here? So you clearly saw it, but why didn't you wake me up?"

"I tried to wake him up, but failed."

Chu Shitong: “…”

Judging from Rushuang's guilty look, something must have happened.

Rushuang said, "Prince Si came in through a side door, so no one notified him."

"How long has he been here? What has he come for?"

"He came before it was completely dark, and he...he stared at Your Highness for a long time, then kissed Your Highness and ran away."

The fan in Chu Shitong's hand slowly stopped.

At this moment, it seemed as if the whole person had stopped.

It was as if something like thunder rolled through my mind.

Rushuang stared at Chu Shitong blankly, as if Chu Shitong had never been so dull in front of her. Even in an emergency, she could arrange things instantly, as if she had replayed the situation in her mind thousands of times before it happened.

As the first shadow guard of the Shadow Pavilion, she was at a loss at this moment.

Rushuang fell into deep self-doubt. Should she have told Chu Shitong about this? Or should she have used stronger means to wake Chu Shitong up?

But Chu Shitong and Si Jingli had already...

Could it be that I heard it wrong?

No, she definitely didn't hear it wrong, so why did Chu Shitong behave so strangely?

No one knew how long the two of them remained in a stalemate in the slightly chilly night. It was not until Chu Shitong let out a long sigh that Rushuang came to her senses and immediately half-knelt to salute.

"I am guilty, please punish me, Your Highness."

Chu Shitong waved his hand and said, "You'd better leave quickly."

Although Rushuang still wanted to explain, she didn't know what to explain, so she had to follow Chu Shitong's order and turned back to the tree.

Chu Shitong looked at the moon in the sky, and his thoughts flew to the sky.

Si Jingli...what exactly does he want to do?

Chu Shitong thought carefully about what she had done in this life, but she couldn't understand why, in her previous life, when she pretended to be gay and approached Si Jingli, he resisted in every way, but in this life, Si Jingli came up to her inexplicably.

What exactly happened in this transformation?

Or was it that Si Jingli had no feelings for her at all and just kissed her casually?

This reason seems a bit far-fetched.

Although Chu Shitong wanted to repay her gratitude, she did not want to have any feelings between her and Si Jingli. After all, what she wanted was to win the throne, and to put it bluntly, feelings would only drag her down.

Just pretend that you don’t know and just avoid Si Jingli when you meet him next time.

Chu Shitong thought so and did so. He claimed to be sick and didn't want to see anyone for several days. Si Jingli came several times but was unable to see Chu Shitong.

Sometimes Chu Shifan couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to call Si Jingli in, but Chu Shitong wouldn't let him. No matter what, Chu Shifan was living in Chu Shitong's yard. It was hard to say what would happen. He could only watch Si Jingli come and go.

......

The seventh day at Qingliang Villa.

Today we went hunting in the wild on horseback. There were a lot of prey on the mountain behind Qinglian Villa, including small chickens, ducks, rabbits, and big geese, deer, and blind bears. Hunting has always been a very important activity in Qinglian Villa.

All the young masters of noble families have been waiting for this day with their hands rubbing, just to get a good start today.

All men over the age of fourteen can participate in hunting, and this is also Chu Shitong's first time to participate in hunting.

In his previous life, Chu Shitong was trying his best to pretend to be a grandson, but in this life, Chu Shitong didn't want to hide his strength and be ridiculed by others.

Chu Shifan had been looking forward to this day for a long time. He changed his clothes early in the morning and urged Chu Shitong to come to the hunting ground.

The rest of the people had basically arrived a long time ago, and the eldest princess even came for the first time.

"Mother."

Chu Shifan and Chu Shitong came forward and greeted them, "It's so hot, why are you here?"

The eldest princess sat quietly to the side, dressed in plain black and white clothes, and her pure and simple aura made people respect her even more.

Chu Shitong bowed and said, "Aunt."

The princess nodded and said, "Today is Afan's first time to go hunting. As a mother, how can I not come?"

Although Chu Shifan was usually a little in awe of the eldest princess, they were mother and son after all. Hearing his mother say this, he was already overjoyed.

"Hahahaha, mother, just wait and see, today's jackpot will definitely be mine!"

The princess smiled and patted Chu Shifan's head. "I don't care whether you win the first prize or not. What matters is your safety."

Chu Shitong watched this scene of loving mother and filial son, and the terrifying look on Yun Xiangrong's face when she looked ferocious at him flashed through his mind.

I don’t know if she made some mistakes in her previous life that God gave her such a mother.

Perhaps because he felt that he was out of place, Chu Shitong said nothing and quietly moved away from them.

Not long after, Chu Shiyu came with everyone in the harem.

After a group of people finished their greetings, Chu Shiyu spoke.

"The Queen has prepared the first prize for today's hunt long ago. Many people can participate this year. I want to see if Xuan'er can continue to win the first prize."

Chu Shixuan has always won the first place in the hunting competition at Qingliang Villa since he was fourteen years old.

It has never stopped over the years.

Hearing this, the queen laughed so hard that she couldn't stop.

"Your Majesty, you are really wrong. Xuan'er is already so old and has won the first prize for so many years. Logically speaking, if she participates in the competition again, it would be bullying. Xiaoqi just participated in the competition at the age of fourteen this year. Your Majesty is talking to Xuan'er like this. Are you not afraid that Xuan'er will not give in to her younger brother Xiaoqi?"

Yun Xiangrong was drinking tea quietly on the side. When Chu Shitong was mentioned, she didn't even want to say a word.

Chu Shixuan said: "Although Xiao Qi is young, he has always been the best in horse riding and archery. I don't need to give in. Maybe I can't beat Xiao Qi even if I try my best."

The queen was unhappy when she heard this, "Xuan'er is the elder brother after all, how can an elder brother be inferior to his younger brother?"

Chu Shitong was also forced to speak at this time. She didn't know why the topic was brought to her.

"In terms of riding and shooting, I am definitely no match for my brothers."

Master Chu said: "It's just a hunting competition, just do your best, there's no need to give in on these little things between brothers."

The fifth princes Chu Shihuan and Chu Shihan stood aside, and at this moment they seemed to be ignored.

Chu Shiyu looked at the crowd for a long time and asked, "Why can't I see Jing'er?"

The Queen said, "The Fourth Princess and Master Wuji went to the Buddhist temple in Qingliang Mountain Villa right after they arrived. They said that the ceremony of praying for the country would take ten days to finish. Your Majesty, have you forgotten? It's only the eighth day."

Chu Shiyu nodded, "In that case, let's start today's hunting competition."

In the hunting competition, each person has 300 shots. There will be different marks on the contestants' bows and arrows for classification. The competition ends when the bell rings at sunset. No matter whether the arrows are used up or not, the contest is closed. If the arrows are used up early, the competition will end early. There will be special people to collect the prey and count the number. At the end of the competition, all the prey will be presented one by one.

The person who wins the jackpot will receive a reward. Of course, this kind of competition is not for the reward, but for the title of jackpot.

Participants can choose to go in groups or alone. If they go in groups, it will be difficult to distinguish the prey in the end, so most of them choose to go alone.

As soon as the bell for the start of the race rang, everyone rode their horses into the forest.

Chu Shifan, who was impatient, didn't want to delay any longer, so he said goodbye to Chu Shitong and set off.

Chu Shitong rode his horse casually and went up the mountain in a random direction.

The mountains and forests are lush and green, the trees are towering, and the shadows are sparse.

Because the forest is large enough and there are not many contestants, the possibility of meeting each other along the way is not very high.

As soon as Chu Shitong entered the forest, he saw two gray hares. He raised his hand and shot an arrow through the two rabbits.

It was only morning, so she was not in a hurry. The prey would increase in number according to the algorithm as they grew larger.

For example, the most basic one rabbit counts as one, a pheasant and a pigeon counts as one, a deer counts as five rabbits, a blind bear counts as fifteen rabbits, and a tiger counts as twenty.

The specific amount should also be calculated based on the specific size of the prey.

She rode her horse slowly through the mountains. The morning sun was shining brightly, and the scenery was filled with emerald green.

After walking for a while, I felt like there was someone behind me.

Because I heard the sound of horse hooves.

Chu Shitong turned around and saw from afar a young man in red riding a white horse riding towards him.

As the black hair fluttered in the air, coupled with the stunning face that was unforgettable at first sight, Chu Shitong almost subconsciously tightened the reins and whipped the horse hard.

"drive--"

Si Jingli, who was not far away, saw that Chu Shitong actually sped up his horse. He was so angry that he whipped the whip even harder to catch up.

This was the first time in Chu Shitong's two lives that he had to hide from someone like this.

The two figures shuttled through the mountains and forests at a speed that was dazzling.

Si Jingli chased Chu Shitong relentlessly. Chu Shitong had no idea that Si Jingli's horsemanship was so good. He chased him for nearly half an hour without stopping.

Chasing all the way, the direction is chosen randomly.

Chu Shitong also deliberately chose some difficult paths in order to make Si Jingli give up, but she really underestimated the degree of Si Jingli's persistence.

Finally, he didn't know where he ended up, but a stream blocked Chu Shitong's way.

Chu Shitong was forced to look back and happened to see Si Jingli chasing after her.

The precious and exquisite red dress was torn in many places by the sharp branches, and even her long hair that was originally tied up was a little scattered. She could see that Si Jingli had put a lot of effort in chasing her.

Chu Shitong had no where to go, so he had to bite the bullet and ask.

"Why does His Royal Highness keep chasing me?"
