Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Apart from Si Jingli, where in the world can you find another prince who dares to be so arrogant in the palace?

Bishui hurriedly chased into the house and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince ran too fast, and I was unable to stop him!"

Ji Shu also brought a few soldiers into the house and tried to control Si Jingli.

Chu Shitong said, "You all should go out first. I have something to say to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ji Shu was worried and said, "Your Highness, why don't I stay here? If His Highness gets angry and loses his mind, I can protect His Highness's safety."

Ji Shu and Bishui looked at Chu Shitong eagerly, but Chu Shitong just shook his head lightly.

"No, get out."

Ji Shu and Bishui had no choice but to leave with their people, and Han Zijun quickly followed them out.

The door closes.

Si Jingli was so angry that he slashed towards Chu Shitong!

The sword's edge was moving, and the sharp blade cut through the air, as if carrying endless murderous intent.

Chu Shitong didn't move at all, just stood there looking at Si Jingli.

When the sword was about to hit Chu Shitong's neck, it stopped abruptly.

Si Jingli's eyes were red, and the sword in his hand could not fall no matter what. He shouted angrily, "Are you stupid? Why don't you hide? Aren't you afraid that this prince will really kill you!?"

Chu Shitong raised her hand and gently used her fingertips to pry away the cold and sharp sword. It was obvious that she did not use much strength, but the sword was slowly moved away with her movements, until it moved to the side of her shoulder, and then fell to the ground with a clang.

Seeing Si Jingli feeling angry and aggrieved, with mist slowly rising from his peach blossom eyes, Chu Shitong spoke softly.

"If His Royal Highness really wants to kill me, it's useless for me to hide. If His Royal Highness is still willing to listen to my explanation, he will naturally give me a chance to explain."

Si Jingli's tears welled up in an instant. It was obvious that he was the kind of person who couldn't help crying when he was anxious, but there was no tenderness in his words, and he was still as arrogant as ever.

"You are just taking advantage of my soft heart and not wanting to kill you, right?"

Chu Shitong stared into his eyes and said seriously, "No, it's because I know that His Royal Highness wanted to kill me because he was angry because he heard something that was difficult to understand. But His Royal Highness is actually willing to listen to my explanation because he has me in his heart."

Si Jingli's tears started to fall.

Chu Shitong's heart softened instantly, and he immediately stepped forward to help him wipe his tears, "Don't cry, Your Highness. Listen to my explanation."

Si Jingli took a few steps back, distanced himself, wiped his tears, pretended to be strong and tough, and said: "Then explain it! This prince wants to see what you explain!"

Chu Shitong had no choice but to express his thoughts helplessly.

She had no intention of really performing well to win Princess Lily of the Valley's heart. She invited Princess Lily of the Valley to go on a boat cruise just because she wanted Princess Lily of the Valley to lose interest in her.

"I did this just to give an explanation to my father and to the Western Regions. As long as Princess Linglan refuses to marry me, no one can do anything about it."

After hearing Chu Shitong's explanation, Si Jingli's anger slowly subsided.

But the tears in my eyes didn't go away.

He lowered his eyes and saw the sharp sword on the ground. He suddenly felt that he was too impulsive. If he really hurt Chu Shitong, he was afraid that he would not even be able to hear an explanation.

Chu Shitong asked softly, "Is His Royal Highness still angry?"

Si Jingli lowered his head, feeling aggrieved and guilty, not knowing what to say.

Chu Shitong took a step forward, opened his arms, and said, "It's my fault that I didn't explain it to His Royal Highness in advance. Your Highness, please don't be angry with me anymore. As compensation, can I hug Your Highness?"

Her voice is naturally cold, and compared to the clear boy's voice, it is more charming when it is gentle.

Si Jingli couldn't stop crying instantly. He rushed forward and hugged Chu Shitong tightly in his arms, unable to hold back his tears any longer.

Chu Shitong had no choice but to coax her softly.

How weird.

Si Jingli was nearly half a head taller than herself, and was one of the tallest men. Despite his big stature, he hugged herself and cried so aggrievedly.

Chu Shitong gently stroked his back and let him rub his head against her face.

"Alright, alright, Your Highness, stop crying. I was wrong."

When she said that, Si Jingli wanted to cry even more.

Si Jingli choked up and said, "Why do you say it's your fault... It's obviously me who was too impulsive..."

"Because His Royal Highness can't be wrong, so it's my fault."

Si Jingli felt even more guilty instantly and cried for a long time while hugging Chu Shitong.

Chu Shitong's shoulders were numb, but he still didn't let go.

She reminded helplessly: "Your Highness, my shoulder is numb."

Si Jingli then let go of Chu Shitong embarrassedly, with some tear marks on his face.

Chu Shitong reached out to wipe his tears, and Si Jingli held her hand tightly, his still red eyes filled with guilt.

"Chu Shitong, I'm sorry..."

Chu Shitong smiled and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to apologize."

Si Jingli lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake, and held Chu Shitong's hand tightly without letting go, and said nothing.

Chu Shitong said, "Your Highness, are you tired? Can we go sit on the couch for a while?"

Si Jingli nodded.

When Chu Shitong pulled him away, he felt powerless taking care of a child.

It was obvious that she had the least patience with children, but it was different with Si Jingli, a bigger child.

Chu Shitong felt that perhaps it was because although Si Jingli's character was a little willful and impulsive, at least it was clean and thorough.

As soon as she sat down, a clean and beautiful older kid threw himself into her arms with a smug look on his face.

"Chu Shitong."

Si Jingli buried his head in her arms, smelling the faint cold fragrance on her body, and his voice unconsciously became coquettish.

"I clearly saw you just yesterday, but I missed you this morning."

He didn't notice Chu Shitong's stiff body.

"You were the one I dreamed about yesterday, and you were the one I thought about while eating. I wish I could see you every day."

Si Jingli sighed gloomily when he said this.

He noticed that Chu Shitong hadn't moved for a long time, so he couldn't help but stand up and look at her.

Chu Shitong's expression was very complicated, as if he wanted to say something, but seemed to be hesitant.

"what happened?"

Si Jingli looked at her with confused eyes.

Chu Shitong pondered for a while, then said in a dry voice, "Nothing."

Just now Si Jingli was buried in her arms and rubbed against her unscrupulously. As luck would have it, the height difference between her and him made Si Jingli stick to her chest. If Chu Shitong had not been busy attending court today and had not been wearing a bra under her clothes, she would not have been able to hide the fact that she was a girl.

Si Jingli looked at her depressedly, "You are so boring. I talked to you for a long time but you ignored me."

Chu Shitong immediately recovered and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. In five years at most, I will be able to give Your Highness a legitimate status."

Si Jingli paused, then his eyes slowly widened.

"You...are you telling the truth? With your identity, aren't you afraid that people will criticize you?"

Chu Shitong lowered his eyes, his smile carrying some self-deprecating bitterness, and said: "Maybe it was possible before, but not in the future."

She believed that the biggest mistakes in her previous life were, first, leaving Yun Xiangrong alive, and second, that she attached too much importance to the man's identity.

After being reborn, Chu Shitong not only wants to ascend the throne, but also prepares to announce to the world that she is a girl.

She used to hate the fact that she was a girl because of Yun Xiangrong's brainwashing since childhood, but now she doesn't think so anymore. Since God made her a woman and no one can change it, she will ascend the throne as an emperor as a girl.

An emperor is an emperor, and an empress is also an emperor. Why can't a woman be the emperor?

Chu Shitong insisted on doing it and she had to do it!

We must build our power steadily and hold great authority, so that all those who look down on a woman being an emperor will go to the northern border to build the Great Wall!

Si Jingli's ears turned red after hearing Chu Shitong's serious promise. He pretended to be calm and said fiercely.

"Don't think that just because you said these nice words, I can let you go and have fun with Princess Lily of the Valley. I'm telling you, I want to go on the cruise tomorrow too. If you don't let me go, you have something to hide!"

"Your Highness can certainly go, but... I'm going to put on a good show for Princess Linglan tomorrow, but I'm afraid Your Highness will misunderstand me then."

Si Jingli's ears instantly grasped the key point, "What are you afraid that I will misunderstand?"

Chu Shitong told Si Jingli about the play. Si Jingli was shocked at first, but then he looked at Chu Shitong with a terrifying look.

"Why didn't I know you were so bad before?"

Chu Shitong raised the corner of his mouth and said, "That's because I never do bad things in front of His Highness."

Si Jingli pondered for a while with a tangled expression, and said in a muffled voice: "Then you are not allowed to do bad things to me."

"it is good."

Chu Shitong agreed very easily.

Si Jingli was still a little worried, "Promise me."

Chu Shitong said: "I promise not to do anything bad to His Royal Highness."

not always.

……

The next day.

The sun is shining brightly, and the water is rippling.

On the fifth day of May, the weather gradually becomes warmer.

The peonies on the shore are in full bloom, pink as clouds, eye-catching and eye-catching, and the rich and refreshing fragrance can be smelled from afar.

A gorgeous pleasure boat was parked by the lake, with flying eaves and pointed corners. An exquisite four-cornered pavilion gradually took shape and stood proudly at the bow of the boat.

The relief carvings of coiled dragons and auspicious clouds on the dragon pillars are stacked one upon another in an orderly manner. The carvings are so fine that every scale on the dragon's body can be counted.

The carved railings at the stern echo the carvings on the cabin and bow, and the hull is surrounded by embossed auspicious clouds, which looks rich and magnificent.

Princess Lily of the Valley came down from a gorgeous sedan chair and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

She was clad in a thin red gauze, with a slender, graceful and charming figure, the three-dimensional facial features unique to people from the Western Regions, deep eye sockets, green eyes, long curly hair, and a body covered with gold and gemstone head ornaments, earrings and waist ornaments. When she walked from afar, the gemstones reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight, almost blinding people's eyes.

Chu Shitong had been waiting on the boat for a long time.

Si Jingli, the jealous little guy, also arrived early. He found a seat with an excellent view and sat down. With a depressed look on his face, he watched Chu Shitong get off the boat to greet Princess Linglan.

"Your Highness Prince Qi."

Princess Linglan saluted Chu Shitong, although she had just learned the Beiqing etiquette, so her movements were not very standard.

Chu Shitong smiled and said, "After seeing Princess Linglan today, I am even more amazed by her than on the day of the banquet."

Princess Linglan smiled shyly and said, "Your Highness Prince Qi is really good at talking."

Today, not only Chu Shitong and Princess Linglan came on the cruise, but also many young men and women from aristocratic families.

As soon as Princess Lily of the Valley got on board, some young masters from aristocratic families could not wait to come forward and introduce themselves.

Princess Lily of the Valley was cheerful and not arrogant. She talked enthusiastically with the gentlemen, acting like a socialite in the capital.

Chu Shitong had already quietly withdrawn from the crowd and walked into the boat, intending to find a quiet place to sit down.

"Cough cough."

Si Jingli coughed twice, and Chu Shitong looked at him awkwardly.

"His Royal Highness."

Si Jingli sneered and said sarcastically: "Your Highness Prince Qi is really good at talking~"

There was a look of jealousy on his pretty little face, and he tried to pretend that nothing had happened, but his eyes showed that he had already wanted to kill Chu Shitong countless times.

Chu Shitong: “…”

Fortunately, I gave notice in advance, otherwise I would have been chased and hacked by Si Jingli as soon as I got off the boat.

Chu Shitong admitted that he was in the wrong and found a place to drink tea quietly.

Soon, everyone got on board.

Princess Linglan found Chu Shitong's desk, followed by several young masters.

She said in a delicate voice, "How come your Highness Prince Qi got on board without saying a word? I have been looking for you for a long time."

Chu Shitong, however, put on a cold look, stared at her, and said, "Are all women from the Western Regions so fond of attracting men?"

Princess Lily of the Valley was stunned.

Chu Shitong threw open the white jade fan and waved it gently.

"Do you know that what we Beiqing women value most is modesty and reserve? We have to keep a distance when we see strange men, otherwise we are not faithful to our husbands?"

Princess Lily of the Valley opened her eyes wide in disbelief and turned to look at the young masters behind her.

Those young masters immediately spoke up for justice.

"Your Highness Prince Qi, Princess Linglan has not yet married you, why do you want to bind her with such rules?"

"Yes, Princess Linglan is from the Western Regions, not a Beiqing woman. Why should she abide by the rules of Beiqing women?"

Princess Linglan felt more confident when she heard several gentlemen speak up for her. She said, "This is how I behave in the Western Regions. I just said a few words. Do you really have to say this to me?"

"The Western Regions is the Western Regions, and Beiqing is Beiqing. Since you are willing to marry into Beiqing, you should follow the same women's virtues as Beiqing women."

Chu Shitong glanced at the young men behind her and said, "You are entangled with other men before you get married. Only I am willing to marry you out of righteousness. Otherwise, who would dare to marry you?"

"you!"

Princess Linglan blushed at Chu Shitong's confident tone. She was just a more cheerful person and she didn't hang out with other men. Chu Shitong's words were so harsh that it really made her lose face.

"This princess hasn't agreed to marry you yet! Don't talk nonsense here!"

Chu Shitong sneered and looked at her with a playful and disdainful look, "Playing hard to get, huh?"

Princess Lily of the Valley lost control of her expression the moment she heard that.

Si Jingli, who was not far away, couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and the young ladies from the noble families nearby also looked at this side with eyes of watching a good show.

Chu Shitong continued, "You are playing this trick on me. As a woman, the most important thing is female virtue. How about this? I have someone bring you "Female Virtue" and "Female Training" today. Since you are here, don't rest. Copy them ten times first. Come on, bring the pen and ink."

Princess Lily of the Valley: ? ?
