Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

It seemed that at this moment, Chu Shitong could see the future that Si Jingli was thinking about.

They stayed away from the court and the capital, bought an exquisite villa in a town full of fireworks, and decorated it the way they liked.

Plant flowers all over the yard, pear trees, peach trees, and crabapple trees.

There were not many servants in the mansion, but they were just enough.

Chu Shitong's current wealth is enough for the two of them to live a wealthy life.

They can be like an ordinary couple, with three meals a day, four seasons a year, and always be together and sweet.

Chu Shitong couldn't help but murmur, "If that's true, it would be wonderful."

Si Jingli thought Chu Shitong was moved, and couldn't help but smile, saying, "How do you feel about this?"

Chu Shitong lowered his eyes and saw his hopeful expression, and couldn't bear to destroy it.

But when his eyes fell on the priceless longevity lock on his chest, his momentary trance disappeared like smoke.

"It is beautiful, but it is too fake, Your Highness."

Si Jingli's smile froze on his face for a moment.

It’s not that Chu Shitong couldn’t afford the longevity lock worth ten thousand taels, but that she came to her senses because of the longevity lock.

Chu Shitong gently stroked Si Jingli's eyebrows and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Your Highness, I came into this world to do something."

Si Jingli asked in confusion: "What do you want?"

Chu Shitong said calmly: "There are things I want to do and people I want to kill."

Si Jingli felt sad unconsciously.

"If you insist on fighting for the throne, I don't want to stop you. It's good that you have your own things to do, but... I'm afraid that you will separate from me because of the fight for the throne."

"No." Chu Shitong said with great confidence: "Even if I can't win that position in this life, I will never let His Royal Highness down."

Hate is important.

Love is also important.

Love and hate are intertwined, and if there is no return, you must choose one of them.

Chu Shitong chose to preserve his love.

But the premise of all this is that anyone who has hurt her must go to hell before her!

She hugged Si Jingli and kissed him lightly on the face.

"I want the throne, and I also want the crown prince."

Si Jingli rubbed comfortably in her arms. Such straightforward and sweet words made him extremely happy every time.

"Chu Shitong, I always feel like you've known me for a long time."

Chu Shitong said nothing.

Si Jingli continued, "When we first met, you knew all my preferences and my temper very well, as if we had been together for a long time."

Chu Shitong said: "Because His Royal Highness and I have indeed known each other for a long time, but His Royal Highness just doesn't know it."

Thinking of how he had been pierced by thousands of arrows for him in his previous life, Chu Shitong wanted to hug him tightly, hug him tightly, and it would be best if he could merge into his flesh and blood so that no one could hurt him anymore.

"Why don't I remember?" Si Jingli didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly figured it out, "I understand, have you been secretly observing me for a long time before I met you?"

Chu Shitong chuckled and did not answer.

The more Si Jingli thought about it, the more he felt that he was right. He couldn't help but stand up and ask, "Have you liked me for a long time? And then you deliberately approached me to make me like you?"

Chu Shitong looked at him with a smile.

"Is this what your Highness thinks?"

Si Jingli said: "This is the truth. You seduced me first. You were attracted by my beauty, kindness and good temper."

As he said this, his tail was so proud that it seemed to reach the sky.

Chu Shitong felt that this was unreasonable, "When have I ever seduced His Royal Highness?"

What's more...it's true that she is beautiful, but what do the last two words have to do with him, Si Jingli?

"You did it on purpose. I've thought it through." Si Jingli said, "I was drunk that day and held your arm in a daze. I felt very safe around you, and you didn't break free from me. Doesn't this mean that you like me?"

"........."

"Then you carried me back home. Don't think I was drunk and unconscious. I had feelings for you. You had secretly liked me for a long time and were deliberately seducing me."

Chu Shitong was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, you call this seduction?"

They actually call something done out of humanitarianism seduction.

Si Jingli said confidently: "What else?"

Chu Shitong hugged him, and with their noses touching, they could feel the closeness of each other's breathing frequency.

Chu Shitong said softly, "Do you want a kiss, Your Highness?"

Si Jingli wanted to say no in a promising manner, but when he looked at Chu Shitong, he swallowed unconsciously.

Recalling the feeling of kissing Chu Shitong, he spoke embarrassedly.

"want……"

The corners of Chu Shitong's mouth curled up slightly.

"One or a lot."

Si Jingli blushed and said, "I want... many, many times..."

But at this moment, Chu Shitong suddenly let go of her hand, and the tenderness in his eyes disappeared.

When Si Jingli was confused, Chu Shitong said seriously: "This is called seduction."

Si Jingli: ???

"Chu Shitong!" Si Jingli blushed and was furious, "Are you teasing me?!"

Chu Shitong did it on purpose. Didn't she seduce? Then she would seduce someone and let Si Jingli experience what it feels like to seduce someone but not get the result.

"Your Highness, please calm down. I am only objectively explaining to you what seduction means."

Si Jingli was about to cry with anger, and threw himself into Chu Shitong's arms unreasonably, and shouted in a soft voice, like a spoiled child and a scoundrel: "No, if you seduced me, you must take responsibility. If you don't take responsibility, I won't play with you anymore."

"Okay, okay, I'll take responsibility."

Si Jingli wanted to say something, but Chu Shitong lowered his head and kissed him.

At this time, Si Jingli finally stopped making noise.

……

late at night.

After Chu Shitong invited Si Jingli to have a meal, he had him sent back to Prince Rong's Mansion.

Because Si Jingli was going to Jingzhou tomorrow and I was leaving too, I went back first to let him rest.

There was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Your Highness Prince Qi, I have something to ask you."

It’s Han Zijun.

Chu Shitong still found it strange, but it was normal for him to be curious about Han Xinyue's movements.

"come in."

Han Zijun entered the study. Thirteen-year-old Han Zijun was already a very handsome young man. The treatment in Prince Qi's Mansion was quite good, at least it could give him a rich life.

Everything you eat, wear and use is good.

Chu Shitong asked casually, "Are you ready for the provincial examination?"

"It's almost ready."

Han Zijun said: "There is just one thing I can't figure out."

Chu Shitong guessed that he wanted to ask about his sister, "Then ask."

Han Zijun got Chu Shitong's permission and asked directly, "I have never understood why the people in the capital think that the status of the prince of Rong Palace is more valuable than you and other princes?"

Chu Shitong was stunned.

What's the problem?

Han Zijun added: "I heard from my classmates today that even the Queen Mother is very respectful to His Royal Highness, but I don't understand. His Royal Highness is just a minister. Although the Rong Palace is noble, it has no real power. Why is His Royal Highness so noble?"

Chu Shitong knew that this kid was now trying to understand the history of the civil and military officials in the court.

Not to mention Han Zijun, there are many things that outsiders cannot understand.

Chu Shitong said: "I can tell you very clearly that Si Jingli's noble status is not because he is the prince of Rong Palace."

Han Zijun was puzzled, "If not? Then why is he so noble?"

"The main reason for his noble status is that his grandfather was the Marquis of Zhenguo."

Si Jingli's mother, the late Princess Rong, was the only daughter of the Marquis of Zhenguo.

The Marquis of Zhenguo, to be more precise, is the Marquis of Zhenguo Army. The one who dares to use the word "Zhenguo" knows its importance.

Unlike the Marquis of Xiaozhan Army, the Marquis of Zhenguo does have real power and troops, which has existed since the founding of Beiqing.

The brave military commander is now stationed outside the western border, and the Western Region is right in the western border. The two countries are on good terms, their military strength is average, and there has been no war for many years.

The Marquis of Zhenguo has been stationed in Quanzhou, the northernmost part of Beiqing, all year round. Quanzhou is close to the northern border and is a cold place.

The Marquis of Zhenguo has to resist the nomadic tribes in the north in Quanzhou. The Marquis of Zhenguo's son is also a leader among the young generals of Beiqing. He is over 30 years old and has experienced hundreds of battles. He can defend one side for his father alone.

Why is Si Jingli so noble? Because his grandfather, the Marquis of Zhenguo, has an army of more than 200,000 soldiers!

The border city that is guarded by the enemy can be said to be the lifeline of Beiqing.

Although the territory of Beiqing Kingdom is not small, almost half of it is located in the cold north, while the capital and several other wealthy states are concentrated in the water town in the south. Once the north gate is broken, almost half of Beiqing's territory will be occupied by nomadic peoples.

"Si Jingli is noble because he is the only grandson of the Marquis of Zhenguo. This is the fundamental reason for his nobility. Even if the Rong Palace is gone one day, Si Jingli will still be noble because the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion will not be gone."

In his previous life, when Prince Rong's Mansion fell, Si Jingli continued to live happily. The reason he was not implicated was simply because the Marquis Zhenguo wrote a letter to His Majesty.

None of the princes has real power. Nearly one-third of Beiqing's military force is in the hands of the Marquis of Zhenguo. The 5,000 troops under the command of the eldest princess are already a threatening number in the south, not to mention the 200,000 troops under the command of the Marquis of Zhenguo.

The incident in which Princess Chaoyang framed Si Jingli a few years ago was only because the Marquis of Zhenguo was far away in Quanzhou and didn't know about it. If the old Marquis of Zhenguo were here, Chu Shiyu would not dare to punish Si Jingli no matter how angry he was.

Princess Chaoyang's father, Prince Jiang, didn't dare to say a word when he came.

Not to mention that the military power in Prince Jiang's hands has now been taken away by Chu Shiyu and given to Xiaozhan Junhou.

The only beloved daughter of the Marquis of Zhenguo married Prince Rong and gave birth to an only child, Si Jingli.

After the death of his beloved daughter, the Marquis of Zhenguo wanted to bring Si Jingli back to Quanzhou several times, but Chu Shiyu and Prince Rong were unwilling.

Chu Shiyu wanted to keep Si Jingli to prevent the Marquis of Zhenguo from doing something that he could not control.

Prince Rong needs Si Jingli to be by his side so that he can use Si Jingli's name to continue relying on the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion.

The reason why Si Jingli was sent back to Quanzhou a few years ago was that Chu Shiyu realized that Si Jingli might have offended a lot of people, and that something might happen if he stayed in the capital. If something happened to Si Jingli in the capital, the Marquis of Zhenguo would definitely make a big fuss, and by then Quanzhou would not be stable, and the entire Beiqing Kingdom would not be stable either. So Chu Shiyu simply had Si Jingli sent away.

Han Zijun suddenly realized.

"So, His Royal Highness is not noble just because he is the Crown Prince."

"Yes, but the title of Crown Prince is just a name given to him based on his true self."

This is also the reason why Chu Shitong has felt that Prince Rong is increasingly restless in recent years.

After the death of Prince Rong's wife, Prince Rong took concubines frequently. The Marquis of Zhenguo had long looked down upon Prince Rong as a son-in-law, but had never said anything because he was Si Jingli's father.

The money that the Rong Palace has been using over the years, apart from the dowry brought by the Rong Princess, is the money that the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion sends every year.

It can also be said directly that the Rong Palace is now rich and powerful, basically all the money spent is the money that the Marquis of Zhenguo gave to his grandson, that is, Si Jingli's money.

Prince Rong has no real power, so he can only rely on the money to build a network of relationships among civil and military officials.

It seems that these days, Prince Rong has been seeking an official position for Lu Jiushang and has gone to the palace to find Chu Shiyu twice, but Chu Shiyu has not agreed yet.

Han Zijun: "So, the Queen is very respectful to His Royal Highness because of the Marquis of Zhenguo."

Chu Shitong: “Yeah.”

The Queen's maternal family and Concubine Li's maternal family are nothing in front of the Marquis of Zhenguo.

No matter how rich or powerful you are, you can only abuse your power in your own territory.

The Marquis of Zhenguo holds real military power. He is not like the Imperial Guards who patrol all day long. The soldiers under his command have all been on the battlefield with real guns and swords.

Speaking of this, Chu Shitong suddenly felt that being with Si Jingli was like being a gigolo.

She suddenly fell silent.

Han Zijun didn't seem to notice her strangeness and continued to ask.

"Then since His Royal Highness has such a good relationship with you, does that mean that you have also gained the support of the Marquis of Zhenguo?"

Chu Shitong, who suddenly realized that he might have to live off his wife, felt that these words were like a stab in his heart.

"You can't say that... The Marquis of Zhenguo is in a special position. The fight for the throne has almost nothing to do with him. Guarding the border is his main task. As long as Beiqing is still here, it doesn't matter to him who is the emperor."

Thinking of this, Chu Shitong felt much better.

In his previous life, Prince Rong’s Mansion was in decline, and Si Jingli could have gone straight back to Quanzhou to live a carefree life, but he chose to stay in the capital.

Chu Shitong really felt that he could not do anything to take advantage of the Marquis of Zhenguo.

In his previous life, he had met the Marquis of Zhenguo. He was already over fifty years old, but he was still an awe-inspiring old man with a strong aura.

At that time, Chu Shitong was still around Si Jingli and saw with his own eyes how the old man loved him in front of Si Jingli. The key point was that the Marquis of Zhenguo guessed the relationship between the two and did not care about gender. He only asked Chu Shitong to treat Si Jingli well and did not say anything else.

So when he thought about how Si Jingli was pierced by thousands of arrows in order to save him, Chu Shitong couldn't bear to think about how miserable the Marquis of Zhenguo would be after Si Jingli's death.

"That's right." Han Zijun said, "Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty. I understand now."

After Han Zijun left, Chu Shitong stayed in the study for a while before leaving.

After bathing and changing clothes, Chu Shitong was about to rest when Bishui suddenly entered the room.

"Your Highness, the prince is here."

Chu Shitong put on his coat and said, "Please let him in."

Wang Zexu came to visit suddenly, probably because he had something to say.

The cold moon is shining brightly.

Wang Zexu walked into the house under the moonlight.

There were only a few candles lit in the room, neither bright nor dark. Chu Shitong was sitting on the couch, flipping through some letters.

Wang Zexu stepped forward and bowed deeply.

"Your Highness Prince Qi."

Chu Shitong realized something was wrong and immediately stood up and helped him up.

"What are you doing for no reason?"
