Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

"Stop talking nonsense here. If you have nothing to do, go and wash my carriage."

"How can this be called nonsense?" Song Nian said with a smile: "If I say that if you were a woman, I would definitely marry you and conquer the entire Kyushu for you, this is nonsense."

Chu Shitong said with a look of disgust: "Shut up quickly, if you keep talking I will become a monk tomorrow!"

Song Nian laughed out loud and happily.

At this time, Aying came over and whispered something in Song Nian's ear. The smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he looked at Aying with deep eyes.

Ah Ying immediately lowered her head.

Chu Shitong watched from the side and found it a bit strange.

Song Nian's personality is so cheerful that even if you throw a dog to him, he can talk to it for two hours.

Why is his personal attendant Aying so taciturn?

Song Nian turned his head and a smile appeared on his face again.

"Xiao Qi, someone from home sent me a message. My second brother will be out for a while. Don't miss me too much when I'm not around."

Chu Shitong also wanted to continue reading the letter from Rushuang, so he said, "Go quickly and don't bother me here."

Song Nian turned and left the room, all the way to the backyard of the inn.

A man in black was standing in the backyard, wrapped tightly from head to toe, with only a pair of eyes showing. He wore a golden token on his waist, on which was carved a lifelike hibiscus flower.

Seeing Song Nian, the man in black immediately stepped forward and saluted.

"Your Majesty, please see His Majesty the Crown Prince."

Song Nian frowned and glanced around, only speaking after making sure that there was no one around.

"Didn't I tell you? Don't call me Your Highness here."

The man in black said, "I admit my crime, please punish me, sir."

Song Nian said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, is my dad calling me back again?"

"Your Majesty and the Queen heard that there was an epidemic in Beiqing and are very worried about you. They want you to return to Qinglian as soon as possible."

"No." Song Nian said, "Tell them that if they still keep thinking of finding a Crown Princess for me, I will never go back."

The man in black advised bitterly, "Your Highness, His Majesty is busy worrying about state affairs all day long. He really needs you to return to Qinglian to help. The Queen and the Princess have been thinking about you all the time. They can't eat or sleep because of you. You have been in Beiqing for almost a year. It's time to go back..."

Song Nian casually picked a wild flower from the yard, and asked in a lukewarm and even amused manner: "Did Song Mingzhu teach you this?"

The man in black looked at him vaguely and said, "No, the princess didn't teach me... I came up with it myself."

"Tell my father and mother that I won't go back until they give up the idea of ​​finding me a wife. Also, tell Song Mingzhu that if she talks nonsense to you again, I will beat her up when I go back."

"Your Highness..." The man in black said helplessly, "In the year since you left, rumors have spread all over Qinglian. If you don't go back, I'm afraid everyone will think you..."

He didn't dare to say any more.

Song Nian heard this, rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then said: "How about this, you ask him to cancel the engagement he arranged for me first, send the letter of cancellation, and I will go back. By the way, tell the old man not to urge me all the time. I have recognized two very good brothers here, and when I return to Qinglian, I will reward them with a few thrones to play with, so that he will not be reluctant to part with those small things."

"what?"

The man in black was filled with shock. "Your Highness, are you serious?"

Song Nian carefully put the flowers away and said casually: "The words that can be said are naturally the words after careful consideration."

The man in black was a little confused, more of a shock at what Song Nian said, and asked at a loss: "What if, what if His Majesty doesn't agree? After all, His Majesty and His Majesty have always wanted to marry you off..."

Song Nian stood up and walked back in annoyance, "Tell them to stop talking nonsense. If you want me to go back, shut up and stop urging me. Otherwise, believe it or not, I will castrate myself and cut off the old Song family's bloodline?"

The man in black hurriedly said, "No, no, no! Your Highness, calm down!"

Song Nian took the flowers and lifted the curtain back to the inn. Before leaving, he said, "Get out of here and don't be an eyesore."

......

After Chu Shitong finished reading the letter, Song Nian also came back.

In his hand, he held a flower that he had picked from somewhere, and he gave it to Chu Shitong as if it were a treasure, and said, "Xiao Qi, take a look. Is it pretty?"

Chu Shitong paused for a moment and looked at him.

"Second brother, are you going to give this to me?"

Song Nian glanced at the empty room and asked, "Are there other people in this room besides you and me?"

Chu Shitong suddenly smiled and took the flower.

"I thought it was some kind of precious flower, but I didn't expect my second brother to be so perfunctory when sending flowers. Which intersection did he pick it up from?"

Song Nian saw that Chu Shitong looked disgusted on the surface but was very careful in his actions, and he couldn't help feeling very happy.

"I picked it up in the backyard. If you like it, I'll pick another one for you."

Sure enough, my younger brother is better than my younger sister, and his vision is the same as mine.

If this flower was given to Song Mingzhu, she would throw it into the pond in disgust.

"I'm not a beggar, why would I ask you to pick up things for me every day?"

Chu Shitong looked at the fiery red wildflower and unconsciously thought of the cinnabar on Si Jingli's forehead. He said, "I heard that Qinglian has a kind of golden hibiscus flower that is extremely beautiful. It would be great if I were lucky enough to see it in my lifetime."

Song Nian walked to Chu Shitong's bed in two steps, lay down on it without any hesitation, found a comfortable position, and said: "Qinglian's Sunlight Hibiscus is indeed beautiful. After all, it is used exclusively by the royal family. When I have time to go to Qinglian, I will go to the palace to steal one for you."

"Stop bragging."

Chu Shitong said: "Qinglian is rich and powerful, unlike Beiqing. I heard that their palace is covered with a net, so it is impossible to enter the palace with Qinggong."

Song Nian just smiled and didn't care much.

"So what? I can go wherever I want and leave whenever I want. Who can stop me?"

Chu Shitong knew his temper and quickly advised him, "I was just talking, I don't really want to see it, don't go crazy, if you get hacked to death for a flower like this, won't I feel so guilty that I can't eat, right?"

Song Nian suddenly turned over on the bed, holding Chu Shitong's pillow in one hand and supporting his chin with the other. His inky black hair hung down in disarray, and his handsome face had a lazy and wanton look.

"I died picking flowers for Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi, the heartless little one, just couldn't eat because of guilt?"

"Why not?"

God knows why so many people like to describe her as heartless. Chu Shitong thinks that she has been very conscientious in her life.

Chu Shitong stood up from the chair by the window and walked closer, looking down at Song Nian who was acting recklessly on his bed.

If he didn't have the same mysophobia as Si Jingli, Song Nian would have been kicked off the bed long ago.

Song Nianyi threw away the pillow, lay on the bed with his arms stretched out, and looked up at her seriously.

"If I die for you, you should die for me. And you, my brother, should both die for me."

Chu Shitong bent down to pick up the pillow on the ground, patted the dust off the snow-white pillow, and said, "That's called being buried with the dead."

The smile on Song Nian's face deepened a little, "You can say that."

Chu Shitong put the pillow back on the bed and found a place to lie down on the side. She felt that she and Song Nian were like good brothers who could talk about anything. The bed also turned into grassland at this moment, where she could lie on it and talk freely.

"That probably won't work. After all, I have a fiancé."

Song Nian froze and suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Chu Shitong's thoughts wandered outside, and he said, "Although he has a bad temper, is rude to others, is picky about food, likes to be scornful, is sarcastic, and is very delicate, he still has many advantages that I like."

Song Nian was stuck on the last three words of Chu Shitong's words. He glanced at Chu Shitong, who didn't seem to realize that there was anything wrong with what he had just said.

Chu Shitong continued, "He is the person who treats me most sincerely in this world. Even if one day I am pointed at by thousands of people, he will break through thousands of troops to come to protect me. Even if he is pierced by thousands of arrows for me, he will crawl to my feet and die beside me before he dies."

Song Nian just came back to his senses, wondering if he had heard it wrong. He didn't dare to show it too obviously, nor could he ask directly, so he had to continue talking.

"What you said is just because he is not capable enough to protect you. If you can find someone who can completely protect you, you won't be condemned by thousands of people because no one in the world dares to do so."

"That's what I said." Chu Shitong smiled awkwardly, "But everyone is different. Now that I have won the true heart of this person, I shouldn't be fickle and look for someone else. Unless one day he tells me in person that he has changed his mind, I will not let go."

"Xiao Qi is a person of long-lasting love." Song Nian said, "I don't know what my sister-in-law looks like to make Xiao Qi obsessed with her so much."

"I'll take you to see him when I have the chance."

After Chu Shitong finished speaking, he suddenly shut his mouth.

Meet.

How to meet?

Could it be that Si Jingli was asked to dress up as a woman? Wouldn't that be using a lie to cover up a lie?

Chu Shitong doesn't think that everyone can accept the term "Duanxiu". She also has no intention of revealing her true gender. Maybe one day she will tell Song Nian and Zhan Zhao in person, but definitely not now.

Song Nian deliberately used the word "sister-in-law" to test him, and found that Chu Shitong did not correct him. He began to doubt whether he had really heard it wrong.

But the room was so quiet, and the words "husband and wife" were so different, how could I have heard it wrong?

Or was it that what I heard was right, but Chu Shitong was too embarrassed to tell me?

For a moment, Song Nian was not sure.

Chu Shitong took out the half piece of full moon jade from his wide sleeves, handed it to Song Nian, and said, "By the way, give this piece of jade to my second brother as a token of trust. My brother took it away before, which was really rude. But he is a bit rude, so don't mind it."

Song Nian took the jade pendant, looked at it carefully in his hand, and asked intentionally, "Your brother seems to have a good relationship with you."

Chu Shitong said: "General."

Song Nian said tentatively: "But I always feel that your brother cares about you a little too much."

"What does that mean, second brother?"

Chu Shitong thought about Chu Shixuan's previous attitude towards him and said, "My family has complicated relationships. He was born to my father's first wife, not the same mother. My mother... can be considered a concubine."

"Look, isn't this even more wrong?" Song Nian said, "He and you are not from the same mother, and you also said that your family is rich and powerful. Half brothers are destined to be competitors from birth. Even if they have the same father and mother, there is still competition. As long as interests are mixed in, all feelings are like wine with poison hidden in it, and cotton with a needle hidden in it."

"Second brother, do you mean he is spying on me?"

"..."

Song Nian suddenly fell silent.

Chu Shitong asked, "Isn't that what you mean?"

Chu Shitong himself has this feeling.

Chu Shixuan has just as many people under his command as he does, so it is basically a foregone conclusion that they are monitoring him.

Song Nian glanced at Chu Shitong. Chu Shitong's profile and scattered hair were so almost perfect and stunning no matter from which angle he was seen. He looked cool but steady, and his steady temperament still retained the innocence and cuteness of a child.

Especially those light brown eyes, as pure as a pool of clear water.

Song Nian asked cautiously: "Xiao Qi, has anyone ever told you that you look a bit... like a woman?"

Chu Shitong rolled his eyes at him.

"You just said that."

"..."

Song Nian said: "What I want to say is, is there a possibility... that your brother has a special hobby that is shameful to others?"

Chu Shitong was stunned and his expression became confused.

"what?"

Song Nian confidently analyzed, "I once met a person who liked beautiful people, regardless of whether they were men or women, and he would accept them all. Perhaps your brother covets you because of your appearance."

Chu Shitong frowned and remained silent for a long time, his expression becoming more and more ferocious.

She couldn't accept such a bold idea, and she had sent people to monitor this matter for so long in her previous life and had never heard of any bad habits.

"Brother, are you out of your mind? I'm telling you this. If one day my brother inherits the family, the first person he'll kill will be me."

"Why are you so sure?"

Why?

Because he had been killed by the first one in his previous life.

Chu Shitong didn't know what to say, so he just casually said, "My family situation is complicated. The brothers basically want to kill each other. It's impossible for them to be so perverted. Besides, my brother has a girl he likes. He told me about it before."

"Oh, it turns out I was overthinking it."

Song Nian couldn't help but remind him, "Then you should be extra careful with him in the future."

Chu Shitong knew it all without him reminding him.

"Know it."

……

July 28th, evening.

Chu Shitong sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and said to Song Nian, "Okay, don't see me off. I'm leaving now."

Song Nian said: "If you don't let me go with you, then you should be more careful. The epidemic in Jingzhou is particularly serious recently. We must not infect you."

Chu Shitong waved his hand lazily, "I know, I will be careful. My second brother has been saying this for two days."

It feels really good to be cared for by someone in a truly friendly way.

"You are such a jerk! I am worried about you but you still think I am annoying. Your kindness is really wasted."

Although Song Nian was harsh in his words, he had already taken out a golden token that he had prepared in advance and handed it to Chu Shitong.

Chu Shitong took it and looked at it. The token was very small, and seemed to be an accessory of some kind of token. There was no word engraved on it. It was inlaid with jade above and below, and there was only a lifelike lotus on the face of the token.

"what is this?"
