Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Qi Siyu turned his head and saw his second brother, who had just been found not long ago.

Qi Siyu instinctively disliked the way the man addressed her, but ignored him and continued drinking her tea.

Ignored, Qi Silin showed no outward reaction and said with a smile, "Sixth brother, is something troubling you? Why don't you tell your elder brother?"

Qi Silin deliberately got close to Qi Siyu. Prime Minister Murong only had one daughter, and if he wanted to marry her, he had to attract her attention first.

Being with Qi Siyu is perfect; given Qi Siyu's personality, it's very likely that it will highlight his abilities.

Sure enough, Murong Wei, who had just arrived, immediately looked for Qi Siyu's location and happened to see him at that moment.

Qi Silin sat down next to Qi Siyu, just in time for Murong Wei to see him clearly.

Qi Siyu didn't like sitting with strangers, so he stood up and wanted to leave. Qi Silin seized the opportunity to tug at his sleeve, but before his fingers even touched him, Qi Siyu gave him a cold look.

She said, enunciating each word clearly, "I am the Crown Prince. Are you trying to usurp the position of Crown Prince by referring to yourself as the Sixth Imperial Brother?"

Qi Silin was visibly flustered, and knelt on the ground in fear: "I, I don't know..."

Qi Siyu didn't even glance at him, turning and leaving expressionlessly.

Qi Silin knelt on the ground, looking completely bewildered.

The incident immediately attracted the attention of those around them. Because they were far away, no one could hear what they were saying clearly. They only knew that His Highness the Crown Prince probably disliked the Second Prince and had made him kneel as punishment.

Some people felt that His Highness the Crown Prince was arrogant and domineering. No matter what, he was the second prince. Even if they weren't born of the same mother, he shouldn't act like that and humiliate people.

Some of the young ladies around Murong Wei shared this idea, but they dared not let others hear them and whispered among themselves.

Murong Wei felt uncomfortable when she heard someone speaking of His Highness the Crown Prince in that way.

Just then, the Empress arrived with a group of concubines to admire the flowers.

From afar, one could see the Second Prince kneeling on the ground.

Immediately inquire with the head maid who had arrived earlier; it was Aunt Su, who served the Empress, and she was the one who had led the women around earlier.

"Perhaps he said something wrong that displeased His Highness."

The Empress still wore a gentle and graceful smile, and sighed softly, "Go and get that child up. It's cold, don't let him get cold."

"Yes." Aunt Su walked towards the Second Prince.

A short while later, Qi Silin followed closely behind and bowed to the Empress.

"My son, thank you very much, Queen Mother."

The Empress nodded slightly: "The Crown Prince is young and sometimes acts like a child. You have been wronged today."

Qi Silin appeared flustered and shook his head: "It was my fault, Mother, please don't blame His Highness the Crown Prince."

After a few words, many of the women developed a liking for the Second Prince, thinking that such a well-mannered person would make a good husband in the future.

After Qi Siyu left, he walked to a secluded spot on his own.

They encountered people from the Imperial Academy ahead, including the First Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince.

Knowing Qi Siyu's solitary nature, the group bowed to him on the spot until he had walked away before continuing their previous conversation.

When appreciating chrysanthemums with literati, they mostly exchanged poems, which Qi Siyu found uninteresting.

After bypassing an artificial hill, Qi Siyu walked to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Few people come to this place; Qi Siyu always hides here.

But this time there was one more person.

Qi Siyu pushed aside the bamboo fence and saw a person sitting inside, dressed in black with dark hair, one hand resting on the stone table with his eyes closed, and several pots of wine on the table.

Several wine jugs lay overturned on the table, clearly emptied by the person in front of them.

Qi Siyu walked over as if possessed. He hadn't seen this person for many days, and he seemed to have become even more handsome.

Akahoshi's fair cheeks were slightly flushed, and one could smell the alcohol as one approached.

He's quiet and doesn't scold anyone; he's quite well-behaved.

"Red Star?" Qi Siyu called out softly.

Akahoshi didn't open his eyes or speak; he seemed to be asleep. His arm, unable to bear the weight, suddenly tilted, and Akahoshi was about to fall to the ground.

Qi Siyu reacted quickly and caught the man, supporting his waist with one hand and putting his arm around his shoulder with the other.

Smelling a strong odor of alcohol, Qi Siyu had no idea how much the man had drunk, so he sat down on the bench and let him lean against him.

He called out again, "Akahoshi? Are you drunk?"

Akahoshi frowned, as if he had been disturbed, and let out a muffled groan of dissatisfaction.

Then, she pressed her face directly against Qi Siyu's neck and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Qi Siyu's heart was pounding, and he dared not move for a moment.

Chi Xing had a pleasant scent that Qi Siyu couldn't quite put his finger on, and the emotions that had been disturbed by Qi Silin were quickly soothed.

With that soft body in his arms, Qi Siyu couldn't help but gently hold that supple waist.

I thought to myself, he's really not a man. His waist is so thin, his face is so handsome, and he even smells good.

He shifted into a more comfortable position and looked down to see Akahoshi's slightly red lips, her tightly closed eyes, and her thick, long eyelashes.

She reached out and touched her chin, which had been reddened from pinching it last time; it had now healed.

He gently patted Akahoshi's slightly flushed face as if to cover up his embarrassment: "Hey, wake up."

He spoke so softly that only he could hear it, and Qi Siyu saw that Chi Xing did not move.

The fox blinked, reached out and picked up the wine jug on the table, shaking it to count how much the man had drunk.

I was a little annoyed. How could someone be so careless as to drink alone here and get drunk?

The thought that if it were someone else who came this time, wouldn't Akahoshi be sleeping in someone else's arms?

Qi Siyu, for some unknown reason, was angry. She gently pinched Chixing's face and whispered, "You're so stupid."

"Well……"

Akahoshi frowned in displeasure and tried to break free of the fingers pinching her face.

Hearing his voice, Qi Siyu's heart fluttered again, and a smile appeared on his face that he himself didn't realize.

But she immediately released Akahoshi's face and patted him on the back.

"Sleep now, I will stay by your side."

Qi Siyu thought, "Let this be a way of repaying him for taking care of me those few days."

He's happy with this, but Akahoshi isn't.

After drinking, Akahoshi mumbled, "Ayu..."

Qi Siyu froze, then lied, "You insisted that I hold you."

"Ayu, I feel unwell." Her voice sounded as if she had suffered some injustice.

Qi Siyu saw him mutter a few more words before realizing he was still asleep, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"So hot…"

Chi Xing reached out and tugged at her collar. Qi Siyu saw her fair collarbone and felt a sudden rush to his head.

He quickly reached out and grabbed Akahoshi's flailing hands. "Don't move!"

Chi Xing whimpered again, feeling wronged. Qi Siyu had no choice but to turn to the side and pull her completely into his arms, speaking softly:

"Don't move, I'll fan you."

He took out a folding fan from his pocket and gently fanned Akahoshi, blowing her long hair that fell to her cheek to one side, and Akahoshi fell asleep again.

The more Qi Siyu looked at him, the faster her heart pounded.

Qi Siyu, who had never been attracted to anyone since childhood, suddenly understood something.

Seeing Akahoshi's slightly parted lips, Qi Siyu was bewitched and lowered his head to kiss her.
