The cruel little princess

The night was like thick ink, hanging heavily over Puning Temple. In the silence, only the small courtyard where His Royal Highness Prince Jin lived still had some vitality.

After dinner, His Royal Highness Prince Jin accompanied the Little Princess Shen Youyou and his elder brother-in-law Shen Zijin for a stroll in the courtyard. The lanterns on both sides of the stone path flickered with a warm yellow glow, barely dispelling some of the night's chill and serving as a digestive aid.

"I'm going to accompany Princess Fukang to perform a big show later, so I'd like to trouble you to accompany Youyou..."

His Royal Highness Prince Jin had a solemn expression on his face, and his words were filled with serious instructions, breaking the tranquility of the night.

"A big drama?" Shen Zijin frowned, his eyes full of confusion, and blurted out, "What drama is going on between you and Princess Fukang? What's she up to again?"

"Again?" Shen Youyou was casually looking at the gravel road at her feet, but her mind was instantly hooked by her eldest brother's words. Like an alert cat, she keenly caught the key words, "Brother, what's wrong with her?"

Shen Zijin thought of what happened in the afternoon, his face darkened slightly, anger flickered in his eyes, and he said slowly, "After I paid my respects to my mother in the Hall of Rebirth this afternoon, I wanted to stay quiet for a while and remember my deceased mother.

Unexpectedly, Princess Fukang rushed in like a madman and made a scene, completely disregarding the solemnity of the Hall of Rebirth. With a wave of her hands, she swept down many tablets, and her mother's tablet was not spared!

This has caused my mother to have no peace in her grave!

I was so angry that I yelled at her and kicked her out right there and then!"

At this point, Shen Zijin clenched his fists. No matter how well-mannered he was, he could not hide the hatred in his heart.

Although he swallowed down those unbearable curses in front of his sister, he had already cursed Princess Fukang thousands of times in his heart, and every word was a "greeting" filled with anger.

I didn’t curse out loud, but I was cursing in my heart with great enthusiasm!

After hearing this, Shen Youyou's face flushed crimson, her chest heaved violently, her eyes widened, and she angrily said, "Princess Fukang is really going too far. She simply deserves to be punished!"

But in an instant, she suppressed her anger, her bright eyes looked at her beloved husband, His Royal Highness Prince Jin, beside her, and gently parted her red lips, calling out softly, "Husband!"

The sound was like a spring breeze blowing across the strings of a piano, soft and melodious, with a hint of coquettishness at the end.

His Royal Highness Prince Jin's body suddenly stiffened, and he felt a warm current surging in his abdomen, and his heart began to beat irregularly.

He knew very well that although this little girl was lively and playful on weekdays, she would only call him "husband" in such a tender way when she was overwhelmed with passion in bed.

Moreover, ever since she was diagnosed with pregnancy, she hadn't had any "in-depth communication" for six days... one, two, three...!

He was already itching to do it, and this call at this moment was like a fire, instantly igniting the emotions that he had been suppressing for many days, almost making him lose his mind.

But the remaining clarity of mind reminded him that now was definitely not the time to be intimate, and this clever little fellow must have some ulterior motive for trying so flatteringly.

"Youyou, just say what you want to say! You and I are husband and wife, there's no need to be like this..."

He only secretly complained about the last three words "seduce me" in his heart, and pretended to be calm on the surface, but the trembling tone of his voice still revealed a bit of confusion.

She's so good at acting like a spoiled brat, it's almost killing him!

Shen Youyou raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a sly smile. He blinked and asked, "Is everything arranged?"

His Royal Highness Prince Jin puffed out his chest, his expression full of complacency, and patted his chest to assure: "Don't worry, Princess, I will do my job perfectly!"

"Then let's have a lively performance later. I guess I'll have a scene later! When the time comes, this princess will dress up and make a grand appearance!"

Shen Youyou folded her hands in front of her chest, her face full of excitement, as if she was a famous actor about to go on stage, full of anticipation for this "big show".

“…” Shen Zijin looked at this, then looked at that, totally confused. He scratched his head and became even more bewildered.

"What kind of opera is this? Youyou, what kind of opera is this late at night? Which troupe is coming?"

He looked around and saw that Puning Temple was full of simplicity, tranquility and peace. He waved his hands repeatedly.

"That's not right. Puning Temple is all about quiet cultivation. Bringing that idiotic troupe here will disturb the peace and tranquility of Puning Temple! Abbot Wuwo will then kick us out..."

As he spoke, he took a step forward, pulled His Royal Highness Prince Jin over, and gently took Shen Youyou's sleeve, and was about to send her to the side room, muttering, "Listen to big brother! It's so late, don't go to sing any opera! Go to bed quickly!"

His Royal Highness Prince Jin and Shen Youyou looked at each other. Seeing Shen Zijin's anxious look, he could no longer hold back his laughter.

"Brother! You're worrying too much! We're not talking about 'this play' or 'that play'!"

Shen Youyou patted the back of Shen Zijin's hand and explained slowly, with a mysterious light flashing in her eyes, "Just wait and see!"

He looked so proud, just like a clever ghost who was hiding a shocking secret and was just waiting to see everyone's jaw-dropping reactions.

"Really? What happened? I was only away for a moment, how could so many things happen? And I didn't even know about it? Come on! Tell me!"

Shen Zijin's curiosity was completely aroused. His eyes widened and his face was full of eagerness to "eat melon". He almost brought a small stool, prepared some melon seeds, peanuts and mineral water, and listened carefully to the story behind this "big show".

Shen Youyou kept the secret for a while before speaking slowly, "Brother, do you know that Princess Fukang is always arrogant and relies on the favor of the Qinglong Kingdom's royal family to bully others in our Jinlong Kingdom?

But I didn't expect that she would act so recklessly in Puning Temple.

Today, she caused a scene in the Hall of Rebirth, and she really ran into our trap."

As she spoke, she moved closer to Shen Zijin and lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of hearing someone on the other side of the wall. "My husband has long been fed up with her behavior and wants to find an opportunity to teach her a lesson!

As a result, today she heard from somewhere that I fell into the water and was injured last December.

She said she had a priceless medicinal herb that could cure my uterine coldness.

But the husband must go alone at night and without guards.

Who knows what evil things she has in mind!

I will let my husband go alone to check the situation later.

If she really intends to send us medicine, we should pretend to agree to her conditions and accept the medicine.

If she has other ideas, hmph…” Shen Youyou snorted coldly.

"If she really doesn't respect herself and does something shameful and indecent.

Then we can just play the game of 'luring her into a trap' and expose her scandal in public, so that she too can taste the bitterness of having her reputation ruined."

In fact, the most important thing is to see whether Princess Fukang has good intentions. In the end, she will return the favor in her own way.

His Royal Highness Prince Jin took over the conversation with a stern expression: "Humph, she thinks that she can hide from others and do whatever she wants in this pure land of Buddhism.

I had already arranged people to watch what she did in the second half of the afternoon!

Princess Fukang is like a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken - she has no good intentions!

If she dares to plot against me later, I will give her a big gift!

If anything happens, we don’t care who she is!

I have disturbed the Buddhist meditation. I would like to ask the abbot and the pilgrims to bear witness to this.

Youyou dressed up to attend the event, intending to, as the mistress of the palace, righteously rebuke her for corrupting Buddhism and bringing disgrace upon the royal family. Just wait and see how arrogant she becomes in the future!"

Shen Zijin listened with great interest, clapping his hands and laughing: "Great! This way, we can teach this tricky princess a lesson and restore justice to the Palace of Rebirth. He is worthy of being my brother-in-law, and he has thought it through!"

Immediately, he worried again, "But this is quite risky. What if Princess Fukang bites back, or..."

Before his elder brother-in-law could finish, His Royal Highness Prince Jin interrupted him. He was a little guilty and worried that his elder brother-in-law would ask, "If I send you medicinal herbs, what conditions do I need to agree to?"

Haha! Are you kidding? He could say that the condition for agreeing is to let Princess Fukang marry into the Shen family... Isn't this just trading his brother-in-law's happiness for the peace of his own little princess... Don't say that, don't say that!

Therefore, His Royal Highness Prince Jin smiled confidently: "Don't worry, big brother, I have solid evidence in my hands.

She had already set up the stage and made all the arrangements in the afternoon, just waiting for me, the leading actor, to go on stage and perform.

There will be so many of us watching!

Even if she had extraordinary abilities, she couldn't turn the tables."

Shen Youyou also echoed: "Yes, big brother, we can't let her bully us like this, we must make her pay the price."

As the three were talking, the night wind blew, and the leaves rustled, as if cheering for the "big show" that was about to begin.

Shen Youyou wrapped her cloak tightly around her and yawned. Seeing this, His Royal Highness Prince Jin hurriedly supported her arm and said with concern, "Youyou, you are pregnant. It is not suitable for you to stand for a long time. Go inside and rest first."

Shen Zijin also nodded in agreement, and the three of them walked towards the side room. The flickering candlelight in the room reflected their confidence and anticipation for the upcoming "big show".

As if it could foresee Princess Fukang's embarrassed appearance, Puning Temple would eventually return to its former tranquility and solemnity, and this conspiracy at night was just a prelude to the pursuit of justice.
