Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily
Chapter 8 Broken Sugar and Bite Marks on Palms
Chu Shitong was riding a horse not far from Si Jingli. When Si Jingli suddenly asked her this, she looked away and looked elsewhere.
"Your Highness, you misunderstood. This forest is so big, why can't I come here?"
Although he said that, the horse was definitely heading towards Si Jingli.
Si Jingli continued to walk forward leisurely and said, "Whether you admit it or not, I want to remind you first that you will never be able to hunt prey if you follow me."
"is it?"
Si Jingli seemed to hear the sound of a bow being drawn, and was startled. Could it be that Chu Shitong wanted to attack him in such a place?
He suddenly pulled the reins, and the moment he looked back, a cold beam like an arrow flew towards him!
Si Jingli's pupils suddenly shrank and he felt a layer of cold sweat all over his body. At first he regretted not letting the secret guards follow him today, but the arrow flew past his ear and shot towards his back.
A strand of black hair was lifted up by the wind, and before it could fall, the arrow pierced into the tree trunk with a "bang".
Si Jingli's tightened heart finally relaxed, and his palms, which were tense just now, were covered with a thin layer of sweat.
It was not until Chu Shitong walked past him with his horse and picked up the rabbit that was nailed to a tree trunk in the distance that he came to his senses and could not help but curse at Chu Shitong.
"Do you want to scare me to death?"
Chu Shitong held the rabbit and looked at him with an innocent expression.
"Your Highness is worrying too much. I didn't mean to scare you."
Si Jingli stared at the rabbit in her hand, thinking of what he had just said, as if he had been slapped in the face, and an unnatural light pink color appeared on his handsome face. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He simply pulled the reins hard and changed the direction, saying, "You just took advantage of my inattention and took advantage of the opportunity. This rabbit is given to you by me. We will know who will win and who will lose in the end! Don't follow me anymore!"
Si Jingli whipped the horse and rode away, riding a red and white horse through the depths of the forest.
Chu Shitong was stung by his words, but he was neither angry nor annoyed. He led the horse and slowly followed the direction Si Jingli went.
Si Jingli walked a long way before stopping and looking for prey again. There was a wild pigeon nesting in the woods above his head. Si Jingli raised his hand and shot it with an arrow.
When he dismounted to pick up the pigeon, he unconsciously looked in the direction he came from. The road was lush and green, and there was no one in sight. Si Jingli muttered to himself.
"What's wrong with you? A few days ago, you wanted to stay eight feet away from me, but today you've seen a ghost."
……
Chu Shitong hunted three rabbits, four pigeons and two pheasants along the way. He did not need to take the prey away himself, as there was a special person who followed him not far away to pick up the prey.
There are still eleven arrows in the quiver. If nothing goes wrong, Chu Shifan can probably hunt more than ten, and Si Jingli will be about the same. He doesn't need to do anything now. He can just find a place to throw away the arrows, admit defeat, and take charge of the barbecue.
Chu Shitong walked in the forest leading his horse, enjoying the scenery along the way.
However, this peace and tranquility did not last long, as the hurried voice of the game keeper could be heard not far away.
"Your Highness the Seventh Prince! This is bad! His Highness the Crown Prince has suddenly fallen ill!"
Chu Shitong seemed to have anticipated this. He immediately whipped his horse and changed direction to gallop away.
The official was about to point out the direction to Chu Shitong, but Chu Shitong went towards the direction where Si Jingli was without even looking.
When Chu Shitong found Si Jingli, Si Jingli was sitting on the lawn leaning against a tree, and the white horse beside him was anxiously lowering its head and rubbing against his shoulder.
Si Jingli looked pale. He reached out and touched the horse's head, consoling him, "I'm fine. Just take a rest."
"Didn't you have breakfast this morning?"
Si Jingli was shocked. Chu Shitong had come to his side without him knowing when. The Crown Prince, who had originally wanted to say that he was fine, suddenly lowered his arrogance when he met Chu Shitong's cold eyes.
"Of course I ate it, otherwise I wouldn't have come earlier than you."
"Really?" Chu Shitong said, "Since His Royal Highness said he ate it, I will go to Prince Rong's mansion to ask and see if His Royal Highness is lying."
"Chu Shitong!" Si Jingli was already feeling uncomfortable, and after being forced by Chu Shitong, his breathing became a little unstable. "You have to come to my house to ask about such trivial matters. It's none of your business whether this prince eats breakfast or not!"
Chu Shitong pursed his lips, his expression becoming even colder than before.
Si Jingli looked at her and felt that she was completely different from her usual easy-going and humble appearance. The fact that she didn't speak a word and just stared at him made him feel a little scared.
"Why are you staring at me? I'm just tired. I just need to take a break." Si Jingli said with a guilty conscience, "I might as well tell you that I have hunted nine prey! There is less than half an hour left until noon. Even if I am not feeling well now, I will definitely not lose to... um!"
Si Jingli was halfway through his words when Chu Shitong quickly stuffed something into his mouth.
Si Jingli didn't know what it was, and tried hard to pry Chu Shitong's hands open to spit it out, but Chu Shitong covered Si Jingli's mouth tightly, and Si Jingli couldn't pry it open at all. He could only glare at her in frustration.
But when he tasted what was in his mouth, he froze in place, as if he had been struck by lightning.
Then he struggled frantically, using his hands and feet to try to push Chu Shitong away.
Chu Shitong refused to let go, and Si Jingli struggled violently. Chu Shitong's hand was forced to move down, and Si Jingli took the opportunity to bite her hand hard!
This bite did take a lot of strength. Chu Shitong let go instantly, lowered his eyes and saw that his hand was bleeding from the bite, with two tiger tooth marks left.
Si Jingli immediately turned around and spit out the food in his mouth, as if he had eaten something dirty.
Chu Shitong pulled out a silk scarf from his waist and wiped the blood off his hands. He stopped when he saw that Si Jingli's complexion seemed to have returned to normal.
Si Jingli vomited for a long time until the sweet taste in his mouth was no longer there.
If someone took a look, they would know that what made Si Jingli so disgusted was just a piece of candy.
"Chu Shitong!"
Si Jingli stood up with the help of the tree, glaring at Chu Shitong with red eyes, "How dare you feed candy to this prince! Are you tired of living?"
Chu Shitong looked at him expressionlessly and said, "If Your Highness had not eaten a few bites of this candy, Your Highness would have been carried back to the palace to see the imperial physician in a while."
The originally furious Si Jingli seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water. His aura instantly vanished, and there was a hint of shock in his eyes as he looked towards Chu Shitong.
"You...how do you know that this prince..."
He suppressed his emotions and didn't say them out loud.
Chu Shitong answered casually, "It's just a coincidence."
As she spoke, she had already climbed onto her horse and was ready to leave.
Si Jingli immediately asked, "Impossible! You can't possibly guess something like this! How did you know that?"
"I told you, it was just a coincidence."
Chu Shitong seemed very impatient and left with a whip. Si Jingli immediately mounted his horse and chased after him.
Everyone said that the Prince of Rong's Mansion was as delicate as the emperor, and his clothing, food, housing and transportation were all noble. He wore brocade and silk, ate delicacies from the land and the sea, lived in a magnificent house, and went out with a large army. His usual meal cost as much as an ordinary family's annual income.
But almost no one in the world knows that Si Jingli, who grew up in such a delicate body, has a most unspeakable problem.
Hunger and fullness.
This disease is also elegantly known as insufficient Qi and blood or deficiency of Qi and blood. It is usually related to deficiency of both heart and spleen, deficiency of liver and wind, and deficiency of Qi and Yang. To put it bluntly, it is usually a problem left over from people who often went hungry and worked hard in childhood. Once meals are not taken on time, they will suffer from palpitations caused by insufficient Qi and blood, and coma is called syncope.
Everyone believed that apart from the emperor, Si Jingli was the most noble person in the world. But who could believe that he, a prince who was loved by thousands, would suffer from tuberculosis caused by hunger and fullness that only existed in lowly slaves?
Even in Prince Rong's mansion, the only people who knew about this were the old lady and the old nanny beside her. Prince Rong himself didn't know that his son had this disease.
In his previous life, Si Jingli told Chu Shitong about this matter. Chu Shitong went to great lengths to learn the simplest and most effective method of healing from a famous doctor, which was to eat candy.
When you are sick, eat a few bites of candy and your body symptoms will slowly recover.
But in his previous life, Si Jingli refused to eat candy no matter what. Chu Shitong remembered that it seemed to be related to the death of Princess Rong.
In fact, there is no connection. Princess Rong died because of a sudden recurrence of an old illness, which has nothing to do with Si Jingli's eating candy. But he just refused to eat candy again and did not like sweet things.
Chu Shitong asked Bishui to bring sugar in advance because he was afraid of this kind of situation. He heard that Si Jingli came earlier than him, and considering his lazy nature, he probably rushed here just to save face without even having breakfast.
He was carsick in the carriage and couldn't eat. The food he brought to the hunting ground was stale and he refused to touch it. He was so pampered that it would be strange if he didn't get sick.
"Chu Shitong!"
Si Jingli followed Chu Shitong all the way and asked questions for a quarter of an hour, but Chu Shitong ignored him.
Si Jingli couldn't bear it any longer, so he simply rushed forward and blocked Chu Shitong's horse with his horse, forcing her to stop.
"Chu Shitong! Why are you dodging and not answering my question?"
Chu Shitong was a little tired of being entangled, and said, "I have already explained it, but His Royal Highness the Prince just doesn't believe it."
Si Jingli was extremely concerned about this kind of embarrassing matter, and he refused to leave without getting the truth.
"What do you know about this prince?"
"I don't know anything."
Si Jingli threatened viciously like a kitten with bared teeth and claws: "Don't even think about leaving if you don't tell me today!"
Chu Shitong chuckled, suddenly opened his arms, and said, "Then please reward me with an arrow, so that I don't have to be questioned by your highness all the time."
"you!"
Si Jingli was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but it was impossible for him to really shoot an arrow at Chu Shitong.
He couldn't win the argument with Chu Shitong, but he was still angry and didn't want to leave. It was like a one-sided cold war. He continued to follow Chu Shitong all the way, but he refused to give Chu Shitong a good face no matter what.
Chu Shitong didn't care much, and the two of them wandered in the woods for a while.
"Your Highness the Seventh Prince, Your Highness the Crown Prince, we are only a quarter of an hour away. The young master has sent me to report that he has hunted ten prey, but now his bow and arrows are all used up. He is already waiting for you two at the hunting grounds."
"understood."
The prey hunted by Chu Shifan seemed to be less than Chu Shitong expected, perhaps because twenty arrows were not enough.
Now Chu Shitong and Si Jingli each have nine preys. Basically, they can only find one prey in a quarter of an hour. It depends on who the prey belongs to. Whoever catches the prey will be the winner together with Chu Shifan, and whoever fails to catch the prey will be the loser.
Chu Shitong glanced at Si Jingli's quiver, and there were only two arrows left in it.
Si Jingli seemed to notice Chu Shitong's gaze and looked up. The two looked at each other for a moment. Si Jingli snorted heavily and turned his head away as if he was angry.
Chu Shitong: “…”
As if she had done something wrong.
Turning her head back, she saw a sika deer appearing in the bushes ahead. This sika deer was considered a large prey. If they could shoot it, the venison alone would be enough for the three of them to eat. The deerskin and antlers also had other uses, which were much more useful than rabbits and wild pigeons.
Just as Chu Shitong was about to pick up the bow and arrow, he suddenly remembered Si Jingli beside him.
If I do it myself and Si Jingli loses, I'm afraid all the meat will be burnt by him.
Thinking of this, Chu Shitong kindly said, "Your Highness, don't you want to defeat me? Can you shoot down the sika deer in front with your two arrows?"
Chu Shitong knew Si Jingli too well. If he asked him to give it to him directly, he would definitely not want it. So he had to use such abnormal tone and means to force him to accept the sika deer.
"Who do you look down on?"
Si Jingli really took the bait. He said unconvincedly, "A little sika deer is nothing in front of me. I will shoot it right now for you to see!"
Because he was still fourteen years old and had not fully grown, the flesh on both sides of his cheeks would even bulge slightly when he was angry, and he couldn't even retract his fangs when he spoke when he was angry.
Seeing Si Jingli aiming his bow and arrow at the sika deer as he had thought, Chu Shitong sighed softly where he couldn't see.
He is spoiled and silly. What kind of princess will he marry in the future who can tolerate him?
Chu Shitong watched quietly.
Si Jingli shot out two arrows as smoothly as flowing water, but they were both dodged by the deer nimbly.
Chu Shitong couldn't help but say, "This little deer is quite clever."
Then her whole body stiffened, and she felt like she was being stared at by something full of resentment.
Si Jingli stared at Chu Shitong. His two handsome sword-like eyebrows were twisted and his peach blossom eyes made him look angry and resentful, but also a little pitiful and aggrieved.
"..."
Chu Shitong felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and said, "Your Highness, why are you looking at me like that? I didn't scare the deer away."
In his previous life, after Chu Shitong took advantage of Si Jingli, he refused to see him again because he was afraid of the kind of person he would be.
Si Jingli didn't say anything, just stared at Chu Shitong. He looked as if Chu Shitong had done something very sorry to him.
Chu Shitong couldn't stand being stared at anymore, so he pulled out a few arrows from his quiver and handed them to Si Jingli.
"Although this violates the rules we originally set, if His Royal Highness does not mind, you can use these arrows first. This matter will only be known to heaven and earth, and I will never tell anyone."
