Chu Li was an adopted abandoned infant, raised as the Ninth Prince—a girl disguised as a boy—by Consort Wen to gain favor. However, she was determined to live a 'salted fish' life, just eat...

"Xue'er has met the Regent."
The girl leaned forward, her soft voice sounding like a nightingale, cheerful and lively. Against the backdrop of war, and in front of a table full of big men, her appearance seemed particularly clean and simple.
Picking up the wine pot, he leaned over to pour the wine, and his long, soft hands rested on Chu Dichi's arms...
She lowered her eyes to pour the wine, and her curly and straight eyelashes looked like a pair of butterfly wings.
Light and beautiful.
Chu Li glanced at him from the corner of his eye, biting his chopsticks and chuckled.
Oh--
It was a very light sound, coming from the chest cavity, almost inaudible, but it made Jingying and Chongfeng, who were sitting next to them, look at each other.
Their eyes met.
Prefect Sun waved his hand and smiled, "My little girl Yuxue, being able to serve the Regent is a blessing that you have cultivated for three lifetimes."
He immediately winked:
"Why don't you serve the regent some food?"
Sun Yuxue leaned forward to get the chopsticks.
Bang!
With a crisp sound, the chopsticks hit the bowl. Everyone at the table was shocked and looked at the man who threw the chopsticks.
“Regent…”
"Stay away from me, my king."
The man sat with his legs wide open, staring straight ahead at the table, but his voice was as deep as ice between the lines.
Sun Yuxue said hurriedly:
"I don't know where Xue'er failed to serve me well. Please let me know, Regent. Xue'er will definitely change!"
Chu Dichi was as cold as ice: "Just now, your hand touched me."
Sun Yuxue was stunned.
Wh, what?
The deputy generals at the table felt like they had something stuck in their throats.
Can't you even get hit?
this?
The Regent has thorns on his body?
They were shocked in their hearts but dared not say a word. Many eyes looked at them, which made Sun Yuxue blush.
It's humiliating and embarrassing.
She is the apple of her father's eye and the most distinguished daughter in Tianshui City. Which man does not pamper her, coax her, and please her?
From childhood to adulthood, I have never suffered such humiliation.
A pair of almond eyes turned red, tears welled up:
"Xue'er is overstepping her bounds. I don't know what the Regent likes..." She pinched her sleeves, her thin body swaying:
"Please punish me, Lord Regent..."
Seeing this, Chu Li sighed.
It's just a meal, don't make everyone unhappy. Besides, the girl is young and ignorant, and she didn't do anything wrong.
She put down her chopsticks and went to help her:
"You get up first..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stretched out her hand, Sun Yuxue secretly brushed it away, and she knelt down at Chu Dichi's feet, with tears on her face:
"Please punish me, Lord Regent~"
Chu Dichi's eyes were as cold as knives: "Stay away from me."
The girl rubbed her eyes with her fists and cried in grievance:
"Xue'er knows she was wrong. She really knows she was wrong. Please give her another chance, Regent. I will serve you well."
Woohoo——
She rubbed her eyes with her pink fists and her shoulders twitched with the hiccups. She was born young and pretty, and looked very childish. Now she was crying like this, any man who saw her would be aroused with a strong desire to protect her.
Several deputy generals felt sorry for the situation.
Chu Li glanced at Magistrate Sun and saw that his father had no intention of saying anything to comfort him, so he immediately understood what was going on.
Being the prefect and having such a beautiful daughter, who wouldn't want to marry into a wealthy family?
Chu Dichi looked at her:
"Miss Sun, you don't understand what I'm saying. If you ask for punishment, then stay away from me. Do you understand?"
The very direct words were like a slap in Sun Yuxue's face.
She was a little confused.
Every time she cried like this, those young masters were helpless and let her manipulate them. Why doesn't it work now?
"I……"
"As the daughter of a prefect, you are so cowardly and without any courage. Our Great Chu is in a period of internal troubles and external wars. If everyone is like you, the Chu State will be in danger."
Sun Yuxue's face turned red with shame and anger.
The Regent spoke without reservation, in front of so many people...
"Get out of the way."
Chu Dichi had no patience anymore. He stretched out his long arms, grabbed the armrest of the chair under Chu Li, and pulled her chair to his side.
Squeak—
A chair was pulled over and the two of them sat next to each other, and Sun Yuxue was squeezed out.
How humiliating!
Woo woo!
Sun Yuxue was so ashamed and angry that she covered her eyes, stood up and ran away.
From childhood to adulthood, I have never suffered such injustice!
Prefect Sun opened his mouth in surprise and stood there, not daring to speak.
Isn’t it a hobby ingrained in men’s bones that they love beautiful women?
Why didn't the Regent even glance at it?
Chong Feng held the chopsticks and sneered secretly: This Magistrate Sun is so bold that he dares to come up with such an idea without even considering who his master is!
Jingying also sneered.
What does it look like to cry so much?
When the Ninth Prince was as old as Miss Sun, he was already so powerful that he went against his master every day, and the more he was beaten, the stronger he became.
Chu Li bit his chopsticks, glanced at Chu Dichi from the corner of his eye, and then glanced at everyone at the table.
The atmosphere is a bit strange.
Or maybe we should just have a meal...
During the meal, Magistrate Sun did not dare to say a word and served carefully. After the meal, he even ordered the maid to prepare the room and new bedding, and did not dare to overstep his authority.
Leave the dining room.
Chu Li walked to a deserted spot beside the pond and said:
"You just hurt Miss Sun's self-esteem."
Chu Dichi put his long arm around her neck, leaned against her small body, and said, "She has bad intentions."
"I think she's only about thirteen or fourteen years old, not even marriageable yet, young and shy..."
"If you have bad intentions at such a young age, what will happen when you grow up?"
Chu Li: “?”
That's not what she meant.
"She may be attracted to you."
"She's already yearning for a man before she even reaches adulthood, so I'd say she has bad intentions."
"..."
"My eyes are my ruler. These monsters want to get close to me, but they are still not good enough. Besides, I only have eyes for Xiao Jiu."
He hooked his arms around her neck, and the two of them leaned against the pond with their arms around each other's shoulders, like a pair of good brothers.
Chu Li said: "She is still young, young and ignorant, and has a pure mind."
"She was pouring wine for me just now, and you didn't stop her. Her hand even touched mine. Is she clean? I don't think I'm clean either."
You're a grown man, how can you be unclean?
When a man and a woman are together, due to the differences in their physical structures and the social world, it is often the woman who suffers.
He also felt wronged.
"Xiaojiu, can you keep a closer eye on me from now on?"
Chu Li looked at his aggrieved look and poked his waist with his elbow: "You are such a grown-up, what does it have to do with me!"
"Oh, it's okay if you don't want to worry about it. I have a very strong consciousness and wise eyes. Even if I'm away from home, I won't let you worry about me at all. If you want to worry about me, you don't have the chance yet."
loquacious!
Chu Li bent his knees and kicked him, but he was happy in his heart.
When Qin Muyu arrived, he saw the two of them leaning against the railing, arm in arm, and being affectionate with each other. Thinking of the little incident during dinner, he began to like the Regent a little more.
After standing for a while, he spoke:
"I pay my respects to the Regent."
