Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

"Xi'er, come and have some porridge."

Mrs. Chu gently placed a bowl of porridge in front of Chu Xi.

"Thank you, mother."

Chu Xi picked up the porridge handed to him by Mrs. Chu and took a sip. He saw that Father Chu, who was sitting opposite him, had a sad face and was eating breakfast in silence.

"What's wrong with father? He looks very worried."

"It's nothing, Xi'er, you need to eat more. You've lost a lot of weight recently."

Father Chu put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at his precious daughter with concern. He felt that she was getting thinner and thinner after not seeing her for a few months. He guessed that she must not have eaten well.

"Very thin?"

Chu Xi touched her face unconsciously. She felt that she had gained weight recently because the outline of a lifebuoy had appeared on her belly.

"You've lost weight, and there's not much flesh on your face. Ask your mother to have the servants stew some bird's nest tonic and send it to your yard later."

Father Chu's eyes were filled with heartache, thinking that his son must have suffered a lot in the past few months.

"Okay, Master, you are acting like you are interrogating me. Don't scare our daughter. I will ask the kitchen to cook more tonic food for our daughter."

Madam Chu scolded Prime Minister Chu, as if blaming him for asking too many questions.

"Then I'll have to thank Lao Wan'er for taking so much trouble."

Father Chu held Mrs. Chu's hand, and his eyes became affectionate.

Looking at the couple looking at each other affectionately, Chu Xi was unexpectedly fed a mouthful of dog food again.

No wonder everyone says that her father is honest and self-disciplined, but also famously henpecked.

In this era of male chauvinism and polygamy, it is rare that he has been able to stay with his mother for so many years.

It’s not that there were no maids who wanted to climb into bed, or other noble ladies who wanted to interfere, but they were all rejected by my father in a stern and strong manner.

Except for attending the morning court or going out for necessary errands, I basically stay at home with my mother.

He said that taking care of his mother alone was tiring enough for him, and he must not have a second one, otherwise there would definitely be a fire in the backyard.

Chu Xi had to admire his father's clear head.

In modern society, there are few rich and powerful men who can be as consistent as he is, let alone in such a feudal society.

At this time, the old butler hurried in from outside, half bent over and said respectfully:

"Miss, there is a young man named Tang outside who wants to see you. He said he is here to give you a gift."

"Gift?"

Chu Xi was confused. Could it be that idiot Tang Shiyu?

She was just joking with him before, he wouldn't really give her something, right?

"Dad and Mom, take your time eating. I'll go take a look."

Chu Xi put down the bowl in his hand and stood up quickly.

Before I even reached the front yard, I saw that familiar, flirtatious figure.

Tang Shiyu also saw Chu Xi and waved at her vigorously.

"Princess Chu, we meet again. Come and see what good things I brought you."

Tang Shiyu said with a smile, pointing at the brocade box in the hand of the servant next to him.

"Tang Shiyu, you are so polite. I thought you were just joking, but I didn't expect you to actually give me a gift."

Chu Xi was very surprised when he looked at the two exquisite brocade boxes.

"How can this be a joke? Tang always keeps his word."

Tang Shiyu's expression became serious, not at all like his previous nonchalant look.

"Well, what good gift did Mr. Tang bring me?"

Chu Xi was a little uncomfortable seeing the way other people acted in front of each other.

Tang Shiyu directly ordered the two attendants to open the brocade box.

Inside one of the brocade boxes was a pair of crystal clear glass cups. The surface of the glass cups was as smooth as a mirror, which could clearly reflect the surrounding scenery. It was obvious that they were of great value.

The other brocade box is a secret weapon shaped like a lotus bud.

"what is this?"

Chu Xi walked over and looked at the contents of the last brocade box curiously.

"This is a weapon I invented specifically for the princess. It's called the Gilded Buddha's Wrath Lotus."

"Weapons? But I don't know martial arts, so I don't think this thing will be useful."

Chu Xi looked at Tang Shiyu in confusion. Giving this thing to her would be a waste of talent.

"Princess, you are joking. This item was specially made for you by me. You can use it even if you don't know martial arts."

"Look, there's a button here. Just hold the handle and press the button at the moment of crisis. It will instantly kill fifty top masters and buy you a chance to escape."

"Is that what it looks like?"

Chu Xi picked up the gilded Buddha's Angry Lotus and pointed it at Tang Shiyu, pressing his thumb on the switch.

"Hiss, ancestor, don't play with fire. It can only be used once."

Tang Shiyu gasped in fear. He was really afraid that Chu Xi would press it, otherwise he would definitely die on the spot.

The two servants behind Tang Shiyu were also frightened and their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled slightly. Chu Xi didn't know the power of this thing, but as servants of the Tang Clan, they naturally knew the harm of this thing.

Once this gilded Buddha's wrath lotus is shot out, there is nowhere to escape and one can only watch oneself being shot into a sieve.

"Killing fifty top masters instantly, it's really that amazing."

Chu Xi was a little bit unconvinced.

"It must be more than fifty, Princess, you have to believe in my ability. I am an expert in this field."

Tang Shiyu raised his chin with great confidence. When it comes to hidden weapons, no one dares to contradict him.

"Isn't that more powerful than my previous explosive pack?"

"The two cannot be compared. This is a hidden weapon. It can exert its greatest power against humans. It is hard to say whether it can be used against a beast with an iron wall or a copper wall."

Tang Shiyu frowned and thought for a moment, then gave a pertinent answer.

"Is your weapon poisoned?"

"Well, thirty-six kinds of poison, making it difficult for the enemy to defend themselves."

"Wow, Tang Shiyu you are awesome. You can use poison better than me."

"Each other..."

"Thank you for your gift, I like it very much."

Chu Xi carefully put the gilded Buddha's Angry Lotus in his hand back into the brocade box and thanked Tang Shiyu with a smile.

"Well, don't forget to say a few good words for Tang in front of Zi Yi."

"Well, I'll give you credit for the gift. When Zi Yi comes back, I'll definitely praise you."

"Where did Ziyi go?"

Tang Shiyu began to look around, wondering why Zi Yi didn't show up after chatting for such a long time.

His beloved girl always followed Chu Xi closely, but why was she not there this time?

"She just said she had something important to deal with and left yesterday."

"Where did you go?"

Tang Shiyu had a bad feeling and his voice was filled with anxiety.

"Zi Yi refused to say."

"Wow...Did she say when she would be back?"

Chu Xi shook his head.

Tang Shiyu looked depressed. Even Chu Xi didn't know what she was going to do, so she must have never thought of telling him. So what was going on between them?

Chu Xi couldn't bear to see Tang Shiyu looking somewhat depressed, after all, Zi Yi still had him in her heart.

"Tang Shiyu, Ziyi's purpose for leaving this time is not simple. I'm afraid it's very dangerous. I guess Ziyi doesn't want you to take risks for her."

"What is she going to do? You won't even tell me, Princess."

Tang Shiyu looked at Chu Xi with red eyes.

"In fact, Zi Yi hid in the Prime Minister's Mansion because she was being hunted. When she first came, she was in a very low mood and often was in a daze by herself."

"What do you mean by hunting her down? Hasn't she been with the princess since she was a child?"

"No, Ziyi hasn't been with me since she was a child. She has only been with me for half a year."

"Then why did the princess let her go now and not keep her?"

"She is free to come and go, and I respect every decision she makes."

Tang Shiyu raised his head suddenly and said in shock:

"Princess, do you mean to say that Zi Yi might be going to... seek revenge?"

“There is a high probability”

Chu Xi gave him an approving look. This guy wasn't too stupid and he understood things quickly.
