Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Chu Shitong seemed to have the impression that someone had said this, but if he really thought about it carefully, he really couldn't remember who said it.

"Today is the hunting competition, why don't we play together?"

Princess Lily of the Valley blinked her bright eyes and looked at Chu Shitong. Chu Shitong suddenly remembered what Chu Shiyu had told her before and agreed.

"it is good."

Princess Linglan looked at Chu Shihan with a smile, "Does His Royal Highness Prince Han have any objections?"

Chu Shihan said: "No."

Princess Lily of the Valley muttered, "You two are indeed brothers. You are both so frugal with your words."

As the cowhide drum on the hunting ground was gradually beaten, the heavy and powerful drum sound spread throughout the entire hunting ground.

The horn sounded and the hunting competition was about to begin.

Chu Shiyu also walked out of the tent at this time, and everyone came forward to pay their respects.

"See Your Majesty."

Chu Shiyu waved his hand with a kind smile on his face.

"Get up. We can't go to Qingliang Mountain Villa this year. It's inconvenient for you to come to the hunting competition. Today's competition rules are the same as in previous years. The most important thing is to participate."

After the greetings, everyone began to prepare their own outfits.

Although it was a hunting ground, the venue and the situation were incomparable to Qingliang Villa. The national treasury allocated funds overnight to Chu Shixuan to take him to Jingzhou to deal with the epidemic. Everything about today's hunting competition was kept simple.

Chu Shitong checked the saddle on Xiaohong, and after making sure there was no problem with the equipment, he led the horse and prepared to enter the hunting ground.

"Cough cough."

Someone deliberately coughed behind him. Chu Shitong did not look back, but the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly.

"Your Highness has arrived really early."

Si Jingli walked to her side, leading the white horse, and said, "Your Highness Prince Qi's clothes look really nice today. I was staring at Princess Linglan from afar just now."

"..."

Chu Shitong only knew that Si Jingli was going to say something sarcastic to him, "It's time to grant Princess Linglan a marriage today. I always feel that father doesn't seem to be planning to pair Princess Linglan with my third brother."

Although Si Jingli said a few sarcastic words, he was also quite surprised to hear this.

"Could it be that Your Majesty doesn't know that Princess Linglan and His Royal Highness Prince Han have been friends for a long time?"

"Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't have been asked to come and talk to Princess Linglan to comfort her."

Si Jingli looked into the distance and saw Princess Linglan and Chu Shihan standing together, which was a rare sight.

The woman is beautiful, with gentle features.

The man is handsome, and his indifference is yet tolerant.

Si Jingli said with some regret: "But I think these two are quite a good match. If they have already secretly fallen in love, I don't think His Majesty will stop them."

The drumbeats for the start of the race sounded again, and Chu Shitong jumped on his horse and said, "Probably not."

Since Chu Shiyu dislikes Chu Shihan and Princess Linglan is a hot potato, it is normal to arrange a marriage between the two even if they have no personal relationship.

But Chu Shitong currently doesn’t know what Chu Shiyu is thinking now.

It was impossible to grant a marriage to Chu Shixuan, and it was also unlikely to grant a marriage to Chu Shifeng, so the only ones left were myself, Chu Shihan, and Chu Shihuan.

Chu Shitong himself was entrusted with the important task of consolation by Chu Shiyu, so it was obvious that the marriage had nothing to do with him, and the remaining two people...

Chu Shitong couldn't help but look in the direction of Chu Shihuan.

Chu Shihuan was dressed in a black riding suit that barely concealed the perfect muscular lines of his upper body. His slightly bronze skin and eagle-like eyes showed off his coldness and iron-blooded masculinity.

Si Jingli mounted his horse and followed Chu Shitong, saying, "So you will stay with Princess Linglan today?"

Chu Shitong responded absentmindedly.

"Ah."

Si Jingli didn't say anything for a long time. Seeing that the two were almost reaching the starting point, Si Jingli asked in a low voice.

"Then can I follow you?"

Chu Shitong raised her eyes and saw Si Jingli looking at her with a somewhat aggrieved look.

Chu Shitong thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that's not appropriate. When His Royal Highness is here, my thoughts will be on His Royal Highness. I have another mission today. Why don't I wait until the hunting competition is over and then I'll take His Royal Highness to Prince Qi's mansion to apologize?"

Si Jingli felt a little unhappy, but he couldn't show it, so he could only agree reluctantly.

"You said you wanted to apologize. If you can't do it well, don't blame me for being angry."

"Okay, I will make His Royal Highness happy."

......

Colorful flags fluttered, horns sounded, and the contestants rode their horses like arrows shot from a bow, their figures shuttled across the grassland and disappeared into the mountains and forests in an instant.

Only the dust on the ground and the sound of horse hooves like an earthquake slowly faded away were left.

Chu Shitong followed behind Chu Shihan and Princess Linglan, not walking very fast.

Chu Shihan was a man who took his time, and Princess Linglan was not participating in the competition for a place. The two of them walked slowly, as if they were out for a picnic.

Chu Shitong also relaxed and followed behind, looking at the flowers and grass.

I don't know how long I walked, but when I looked up, I saw green mountain peaks hidden in the clouds, the forests were full of green, with tall pines and cypresses, and delicate flowers clustered on the hillsides. The forest paths were filled with green, and the scent of fragrant grass wafted between the rocks, which was refreshing.

Chu Shitong raised his bow and arrow and shot two rabbits not far away with one arrow.

The prey was picked up by a special person, so she didn't need to go over to handle it or record the number.

Princess Linglan suddenly reined in her horse, and Chu Shitong and Chu Shihan also stopped.

Princess Lily of the Valley jumped off her horse and squatted in the grass nearby. Chu Shitong felt that the scene looked somewhat familiar.

Chu Shihan asked: "Princess, what are you doing?"

Princess Linglan stood up and walked to Chu Shihan soon after. She grabbed a handful of wild flowers and said with a smile on her face, "Can you make a wreath for me?"

Chu Shitong: “…”

She stood silently in the back, feeling that she was a little redundant at this moment.

Chu Shihan was stunned for a moment, his face flushed a little, and he glanced back at Chu Shitong unconsciously. He coughed awkwardly and said seriously, "We'll talk about this later. Princess, you should go hunting first, which is the main purpose of participating in the competition today."

Princess Linglan grabbed Chu Shihan's sleeve and shook it left and right, like a child begging for candy, and begged in a soft voice: "No~ I want it~ There won't be such beautiful flowers in the future. You made them so quickly, it won't take you long to make one for me~"

Chu Shihan sat on his horse, feeling torn.

Chu Shitong saw him secretly looking at him several times, so he had to say tactfully: "There seems to be a rabbit over there. I'll go over there and take a look first, and then come back to meet up with my brother and the princess later."

Chu Shihan nodded.

Chu Shitong rode away on her horse. She really regretted not agreeing to Si Jingli at that time.

However, if Si Jingli were here, the situation would probably be even more awkward.

Si Jingli was very competitive and when he saw Princess Linglan asking Chu Shihan to weave a wreath, he begged Chu Shitong to weave one for him as well. Then, like a peacock, he foolishly wore the wreath made by Chu Shitong on his head to show off for the whole day.

Thinking of Si Jingli's arrogant look with his tail raised to the sky, Chu Shitong couldn't help but laugh for no apparent reason.

Chu Shitong didn't notice how long he had been gone. When he came to his senses, he seemed to be already far away from Chu Shihan and Linglan.

She wandered around for a while, wondering how long it would take for her to go back.

"Hey! Isn't this His Royal Highness Prince Qi?"

Feng Yang shouted from not far away, and his voice looked quite strange.

"Your Highness Prince Yu, come quickly, your little brother Xiaoqi is here!"

When Chu Shitong heard him say this, he knew that he couldn't escape today.

She closed her eyes deeply and adjusted her state of mind. She felt that she shouldn't go out today. She was really unlucky.

Then he was forced to open his eyes, put on a smiling face, pretending to be surprised and happy, and took the reins and walked towards the two people.

"What a coincidence, I actually met my brother and Master Feng in this deep mountain."

But when he walked in, Chu Shitong realized that something was wrong.

Feng Yang had a smile on his face, as if he had found something fun and wanted to amuse the children.

But the expression on Chu Shifeng's face was extremely cold, his eyes were as sinister as knives, and he almost wanted to cut off all the flesh from Chu Shitong's body.

Feng Yang joked, "Your Highness Prince Qi, I told you last time that Your Highness Prince Yu and I are good brothers. I'm one year older than you, so you have to call me brother anyway."

Chu Shitong smiled politely, "Mr. Feng, you are joking. How can I call you my brother? Isn't this embarrassing for you?"

Feng Yang: “…”

Wouldn't normal people say that they are putting too much pressure on themselves?

Chu Shifeng kept staring at Chu Shitong, and Chu Shitong took the initiative to greet him, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, brother. Why are you staring at me? Could it be that you forgot what Xiao Qi looks like?"

Chu Shifeng sneered and said, "I will never forget what Xiaoqi looks like even in my dreams. I'm afraid Xiaoqi was born with two appearances. One in front of me, and another in front of others."

He seldom hides his emotions in front of Chu Shitong.

The words were spoken with such strong irony that Feng Yang felt so embarrassed that he wanted to slap himself in the face.

The "other people" mentioned by Chu Shifeng most likely refers to Chu Shixuan.

I think Chu Shifeng already knew that Chu Shixuan wanted to take Xiaoqi with him when he went to Jingzhou to investigate in front of Chu Shiyu two days ago. And later, when Chu Shixuan could not go to investigate the taxation, he specially recommended Chu Shitong to go, which made this matter very difficult to explain clearly.

Almost everyone knows that when investigating such matters, some of the money will be embezzled.

If you are willing to recommend this money-making opportunity to others, you must have a close relationship.

Chu Shitong said calmly, "How come Xiaoqi doesn't understand what the emperor said?"

"Don't understand? Then you don't need your ears anymore." Feng said, "Don't forget what you promised me in the beginning. You ignored my words. Do you think I will not attack you because of our past friendship?"

Feng Yang has realized that things have reached a point where it is difficult to recover. Although he plays with Chu Shifeng, it does not mean that he wants to directly participate in Chu Shifeng's network of relationships.

If you get involved, this matter will most likely affect your family in the future.

Feng Yang said tactfully: "Well, let me go over there and take a look. There seems to be a rabbit over there..."

Chu Shifeng also knew what he was thinking, so he kept silent, which was considered as his agreement.

Before leaving, Feng Yang couldn't help but whispered to Chu Shifeng.

"You'd better control your temper. If what you said today is too harsh, Xiao Qi will not play with you anymore. I'll see what you can do."

Chu Shifeng's expression finally softened.

Feng Yang rode away on his horse. Looking at his back, Chu Shitong seemed to see himself who had just silently left Chu Shihan and Princess Linglan.

The surroundings are open and lush with greenery.

There were only two of them left at the moment, and it seemed a lot quieter.

To show his sincerity, Chu Shitong dismounted, walked closer, and got straight to the point.

"Brother, are you doubting me because my eldest brother recommended me to go to Jingzhou to investigate?"

Chu Shifeng sat on his horse, looking down at her.

"you know too?"

Chu Shitong smiled, stepped forward and said, "Don't be angry, my brother. This matter is just because my elder brother felt that there was no one else to turn to, so he found me. I have no grudges against him and it is difficult to refuse. He recommended me because there was an epidemic in Jingzhou, so he just mentioned it casually."

Chu Shifeng stared at Chu Shitong's eyes with gloomy eyes, as if if he found any sign of lying in Chu Shitong, he would reach out and tear her apart on the spot in the next second.

"Have you ever said these words to King Kite before?"

Chu Shifeng suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched Chu Shitong's chin, using his fingertips to exert force, leaving red marks on the tender skin.

He said viciously: "Don't think that this kind of talk can reassure me. If I find out that you want to have the best of both worlds, I will definitely not let you go!"

Chu Shitong's skin felt a dull pain.

Chu Shifeng was always ruthless when he attacked, whether it was servants or concubines, he would throw things at them at will. Last time, he hit Li Nu's face twice with his pipe, leaving a red mark on his face.

Chu Shitong smiled and said, "Don't worry, my brother. Since I promised you, I won't lie to you. If Xiao Qi is lying, you can punish me however you want."

Chu Shifeng's anger subsided a little and he reluctantly let go of his hand.

Looking at Chu Shitong's red skin, he looked away and said coldly, "Are you willing to go and investigate this matter? If you don't want to, I have my own way to stop you from going."

Chu Shitong smiled bitterly, "Father has already made the decision, I'd better go."

"Oh." Chu Shifeng sneered for no reason, "Chu Shixuan is really a thief with a heart of his own. I just haven't seen you for a few days, but he couldn't help but go to your house to look for you. The epidemic in Jingzhou is serious. If he goes there this time, it's hard to predict whether he will live or die. Will Xiaoqi feel sad for him?"

Hearing this, Chu Shitong said excitedly from the bottom of his heart: "Of course not!"

Chu Shifeng looked at him for a long time and felt that Chu Shitong really didn't want to pretend, so he took a deep breath and said, "In the future, don't always feel embarrassed to refuse others. Those who make things difficult for you are not good people."

"That's what the emperor said."

Chu Shitong rubbed his chin and said, "Did my brother enjoy the hunting today?"

Chu Shifeng sneered and said nothing, as if he was still angry.

Chu Shitong stood there awkwardly, glancing at the wild flowers and weeds around him, and said casually: "How about...I'll make a wreath for my brother to make amends?"
