She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 54: The Scheming Princess 11

He had a bad feeling and subconsciously pushed Shen Weicang away for a distance.

Shen Weicang had never had this kind of experience of actively approaching someone only to be pushed away, and he was a little confused for a moment.

"Your Highness, why did you push me?"

Xiao Chongyu didn't dare to face Shen Weicang directly, for fear that she would notice that something was wrong with him.

Hearing her aggrieved question, he turned around and hugged her regardless of everything: "Cang Cang, why would I push you? There were stones on the ground just now, and I was afraid that you would trip."

Shen Weicang hugged his thin waist directly: "With Your Highness here, how could I be tripped?"

Xiao Chongyu really suspected that he was dreaming. When had Cangcang ever been so close to him?

"Your Highness, I don't know how I offended Miss Chu to make her so malicious towards me that she did that just now. I am so grateful to Your Highness for saving me."

Xiao Chongyu actually knew very well that it was Shen Weicang who pushed Chu Mingyue first and then she grabbed his hand. But in his heart, no matter what Cangcang did, she would not be wrong.

His hand tentatively fell on Shen Weicang's back and gently stroked it. Seeing that she did not resist, he immediately took advantage of the situation and hugged her tightly with both hands: "Saving Cang Cang is what I should do, why should I thank you or not. Chu Mingyue's methods are so vicious, I have already taught her a lesson on behalf of Cang Cang."

He was intoxicated by the feeling of holding a warm and soft jade in his arms. Just as he put his head on Shen Weicang's shoulder and smelled her fragrance, the person in his arms suddenly exclaimed and raised his hand to reach down: "Your Highness, is there a sword on you? It hurts me."

Xiao Chongyu panicked and let go of Shen Weicang, grabbing her hand with one hand: "Cangcang, I remembered that there are still some things to deal with in the East Palace, so I have to go down the mountain. I left you some secret guards to protect you, just tell them if you have anything."

After saying this, he didn't dare to look into Shen Weicang's clear eyes again. He turned around hurriedly and walked out of the yard, but his posture was a little strange.

Watching him walk out of the yard, Shen Weicang turned around and walked into the house. He sneered only after closing the door.

I really don’t know if the Xiao Chongyu in the dream and the Xiao Chongyu in reality are the same person. Why does he look even dumber than Xiao Chongling?

With just a few words, she had changed Xiao Chongyu's impression of Chu Mingyue. It seemed that it was indeed just a nightmare and there was nothing to be afraid of.

But since she chose Xiao Chongling, she must pull Xiao Chongyu down from the position of crown prince.

She yawned and just sat down at the table to pour herself a cup of tea when Shen Ruowu's voice rang out from outside the door: "Is Cang Cang in there?"

"The princess just came back."

Shen Weicang opened the door, and Shen Ruowu and Xiao Chongling looked at her with concern: "How is Cangcang? Is he injured?"

Shen Weicang shook his head: "No, I'm fine, how could I be injured?"

Shen Ruowu showed a disapproving expression: "Brother said that you should tell me everything that happens. Why didn't Cangcang tell me when he encountered such a serious problem?"

Xiao Chongling glanced at Shen Ruowu and frowned slightly.

Even if they are siblings, isn't this kind of discipline overstepping the boundaries?

Shen Weicang coquettishly hugged Shen Ruowu's arm and said, "No, it's not serious at all. I'm fine. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saved me. I was just a little frightened."

As she spoke, she took Shen Ruowu's arm and walked into the room, and Xiao Chongling followed in.

He looked Shen Weicang carefully all over his body to make sure he was not injured before sitting down.

Seeing Shen Ruowu reaching out and holding Shen Weicang's hand tightly, the strange feeling in his heart just now surged up again.

He poured two cups of tea and placed them in front of Shen Ruowu and himself respectively. The cups fell on the table with a "clack". Shen Ruowu finally let go of Shen Weicang's hand and glanced at Xiao Chongling as if nothing had happened.

Shen Weicang was unaware of anything and looked at Xiao Chongling and asked, "Brother Prince Jing, how was your conversation with Master Nie?"

Seeing that she did not avoid Shen Ruowu being beside her, Xiao Chongling knew that they had a good relationship as siblings, so he did not hide it: "Feiyun said that he wanted to join the army, but his parents asked him to get married first and then start a career."

It turns out that Chu Mingyue and Nie Feiyun were not really going to get married.

Thinking about how Chu Mingyue revealed an unconcealable look of desolation as soon as he tried to get close to Xiao Chongyu, Shen Weicang felt alarmed.

She couldn't let Chu Mingyue and Xiao Chongyu get married by accident like in her dream, not even the slightest possibility.

Thinking of this, she spoke of what happened just now with a guilty look on her face: "Just now, I was chatting with Miss Chu and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by the lotus pond. I saw a snake at Miss Chu's feet, so I kindly reminded her and tried to reach out to pull her over. As a result, I accidentally bumped into her, and she reached out and grabbed me tightly, trying to drag me into the water as well. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saved me."

Shen Ruowu looked very unhappy after hearing her words: "A young lady from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion dared to murder the princess of the Qingyang Palace. She simply doesn't take our palace seriously."

Shen Weicang quickly comforted him: "Brother, don't be angry. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already done justice for me. He said he has punished Miss Chu, but I don't know how he punished her."

"My brother ordered someone to watch her kneel beside the lotus pond as punishment."

Xiao Chongling's voice was gentle but with a hint of oppression: "Cang Cang, don't get close to Chu Mingyue anymore. She is obsessed with my brother. I'm afraid she got jealous after seeing you chatting with my brother."

Shen Weicang didn't know there was such a thing, and was immediately surprised and asked: "Miss Chu and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...?"

Xiao Chongling shook his head: "My brother has no interest in her."

Shen Weicang showed a sympathetic expression: "Miss Chu is a woman after all. Maybe it was really a misunderstanding. The Crown Prince's punishment of her today may make her sad."

Shen Ruowu said helplessly: "Cangcang, she hurt you so much, why are you still thinking about these things for her."

"Yes," Xiao Chongling also said, "My brother will definitely not like this kind of woman. This kind of character is not fit for a crown princess."

There was a flash of sarcasm in Shen Weicang's eyes. What kind of character?

Her character is even worse than Chu Mingyue's, but she insists on being the Crown Princess.

It was getting dark. There was a separate small kitchen in Shen Weicang's yard, but they had to eat vegetarian food during the Buddhist worship, so the meals served were very light.

In the past few days, Xiao Chongling would have dinner at her place every day before leaving, but this was the first time Shen Ruowu had dinner here.

After the meal, the two walked out of Shen Weicang's yard. Xiao Chongling reminded Shen Ruowu lightly, "My Lord, Cangcang is no longer a child. There are some things that are not appropriate for a brother to do. What do you think?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Ruowu asked back: "Your Highness, in what capacity do you say this?"

Seeing Xiao Chongling's surprised expression, Shen Ruowu really wanted to tell him everything, but he suppressed the impulse the moment he opened his mouth and changed the subject: "Your Highness Prince Jing is so close to Cang Cang, but he has been reluctant to ask for the marriage decree. As a woman, Cang Cang must always pay attention to her reputation."

Xiao Chongling was silent for a moment, and did not say Princess Qingyang's dissatisfaction with him. He only said: "I will not let Cang Cang's reputation be damaged."

Chu Mingyue and Nie Feiyun returned to the wing room, which shocked both Madam Chu and Madam Nie: "What happened to Yue'er? Why is there so much mud on her?"

Nie Feiyun explained: "Miss Chu was standing by the lotus pond just now and wanted to pick lotus flowers. She accidentally stepped into the water and ended up like this."

Chu Mingyue said shyly, "It was Master Nie who pulled my daughter up here."

Madam Chu and Madam Nie smiled at each other and understood each other.

Chu Mingyue and Nie Feiyun looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.
