Shuyi thought about the time when Tongjia asked him to take the Crown Prince to a brothel. He thought of many ways to do it, but none of them seemed feasible. Besides, the Crown Prince wasn't so easy to invite.
The opportunity is right in front of us, and it's right here in the mansion, so there's no need to worry about running into the censor. This is the perfect opportunity.
"Your Highness, since the Fourth Prince has come to the residence, why don't you stay for a meal?" Shuyi asked.
Jing Shu looked at Shu Yi, wondering what she was up to. What should they eat now? Was it too late for breakfast? And too early for lunch?
"In that case, I shall respectfully comply!" the Crown Prince replied.
"Big brother, you stay with the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince, I'll go make some preparations!" Shuyi said and ran out.
Shuyi wasn't going to prepare food, but rather to prepare people. Didn't his mother tell him to find a few pretty girls?
There are many maids in the mansion, and of course he won't force them, but there are also some with ulterior motives.
There was one in his courtyard who always came up to him. He was just about to tell Madam Tongjia to kick this maid out when the opportunity came.
Shuyi returned to her courtyard and beckoned to Xiaoyu, who was sweeping the yard. "Xiaoyu, come here, I have something to tell you!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu ran up to Shuyi and asked, "Second Young Master, what is it?"
Shuyi carefully examined Xiaoyu. She was fairly good-looking, though of course not as pretty as Hexue.
Xiaoyu was overjoyed to see Shuyi staring at her. "Could it be that the Second Young Master understands my feelings? All my hints these past few days haven't been in vain!"
"Xiaoyu, there's a chance for you to rise to the top and become a phoenix. I wonder if you can seize it?" Shuyi asked.
"Second Young Master, I will definitely catch him!" Xiaoyu said shyly.
"In that case, come with me!" Shuyi said.
Xiaoyu blushed and said, "Second Young Master, isn't this inappropriate in broad daylight? Aren't you in too much of a hurry?"
Looking at Xiaoyu's expression, Shuyi knew she had misunderstood. "What are you thinking? A distinguished guest has come to the manor. If he takes a liking to you, your status will change!"
I only thought of you because you put in so much effort; it's up to you whether you go or not!
Xiaoyu was torn. Someone who could be described as an honored guest by Shuyi must be extraordinary, but would that person even be interested in her?
Xiaoyu was thinking to herself, what if she really liked him? Then she wouldn't have to do this servant's work anymore.
"Xiaoyu will follow the Second Young Master's arrangements!"
"Alright, go change into some clean clothes! Hurry up!" Shuyi knew Xiaoyu would agree.
When Shuyi returned to the front hall, she said, "I'm sorry to have kept you both waiting. The food isn't ready yet. Why don't we have some wine first?" After saying that, she clapped her hands, and Xiaoyu came in with the wine.
"Go pour the wine!" Shuyi pointed Xiaoyu directly in front of the Crown Prince.
Xiaoyu secretly glanced at the Crown Prince, "He's even more handsome than the Second Young Master!"
Before Xiaoyu even got close to the Crown Prince, he smelled a pungent rouge scent, and immediately felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't breathe, his face turning somewhat cold.
Shuyi's legs suddenly went weak, seemingly unintentionally pushing Xiaoyu toward the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince, however, avoided it like the plague, immediately taking several steps back, even pushing his seat aside, and then disdainfully patted the clothes that Xiaoyu hadn't even touched.
Xiaoyu collapsed to the ground, tears welling in her eyes as she looked at the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince's cold gaze fell upon Shuyi.
Shuyi smiled somewhat guiltily at the Crown Prince. Was the Crown Prince's reaction a bit excessive? Why was he avoiding women like the plague? Something was really off!
