Chapter 489 Extra - Inscription
Chen Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking it was a good idea.
"What does Shu Liangyuan think?" His gaze shifted to Shu Tong's face, where he saw a blank look in her eyes.
The moment their eyes met, she suddenly realized: "My handwriting is crude, so I won't embarrass myself in front of Your Highness."
Chen Ci looked at her leisurely: "I think Ashi's suggestion is very good. Shu Liangyuan, there's no need to be modest. Come over here quickly."
Chen Shi nudged Shu Tong with his elbow: "Sister-in-law, go on!"
It's like forcing a duck onto a shelf.
Shu Tong could only get up and walk over, standing beside the desk: "Your Highness writes the character 'image,' I'll write the character 'wind,' and as for the character 'pavilion'... ah!"
Before she could finish speaking, Chen Ci grabbed her arm with one hand.
After a gasp, she was inexplicably pulled into the man's arms.
Shu Tong could feel the warm breath of the man behind her, and her heart was naturally racing.
Before she could calm down, the man handed her the calligraphy brush. She mechanically grasped it, and then the man's palm covered the back of her hand...
Shu Tong understood the man's intention.
His understanding of the shared inscription was completely different from hers!
It wasn't one person writing one word; he held her hand as he wrote.
Shu Tong prided herself on not being a naive young girl in her late teens, having read countless sweet novels and watched numerous romantic dramas. However, when she actually experienced the kind of plots that only existed in novels and television shows, her heart still skipped a beat.
Chen Ci lowered his eyes and saw the tips of her ears, which had quickly turned red, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
It seems that intimate contact is definitely an essential step in creating ambiguity and escalating feelings.
The height difference between the two was about 20 centimeters. His chin was just above the top of her head, and he could clearly see the papers on the table.
Are you ready?
The man's deep, gentle voice came from above her head, causing Shu Tong's face to blush unconsciously again. She nodded and said, "Mm."
So the man took her hand, and she held the pen, and they began to inscribe the three characters "Xiang Feng Ting".
Chen Shi looked at the loving couple on the hammock with starry eyes, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.
I have to say, the Crown Prince is quite capable.
In the vast courtyard, all the palace servants who witnessed this scene had joy on their faces.
This is a great joy for Wutongju.
As the last stroke of the character "亭" was completed, Chen Ci casually released Shu Tong's hand, put the brush aside, and then casually offered a compliment.
"Shu Liangyuan's calligraphy has improved a lot."
Shu Tong was still in a daze, her heart pounding, her face burning: "Your Highness flatters me..."
She didn't even dare to look the man in the eye.
As expected, men in imperial families are the most ruthless. He and the Crown Princess were clearly in love, yet he was so close to her.
It's really hard to figure out.
If this were the original owner of the body, he would have easily swayed her, and the plot would have proceeded smoothly.
But she's not the original owner of this body!
She is an independent woman of the new era, and naturally cannot accept a man with such "scumbag" behavior!
Thinking this, she quickly calmed down and instructed Haitang to carefully store the prince's calligraphy and hand it over to the craftsmen to make a plaque.
Haitang readily agreed.
After finishing his inscription, His Highness the Crown Prince did not linger and left directly.
Princess Shuyun was naturally reluctant to leave; she wanted to linger on the swing a little longer, feeling that even the clouds in the sky looked more beautiful.
As noon approached, Shu Tong saw Haitang preparing to take her purse to the Imperial Kitchen.
She quickly called out to her, "Don't we still have noodles and scallions in our small kitchen?"
"Yes," Haitang asked, "What would you like to do, My Ladyship?"
Shu Tong smiled meaningfully: "Go to the kitchen and help me out. I'm going to make something to eat; I'm hungry."
"No need to go through all that trouble," Haitang said considerately. "I'm going to the kitchen now, and it'll be lunchtime in no time. Why don't you stay and chat with Her Highness the Princess for a while?"
"Don't worry about it, just do what I tell you to do."
As Shu Tong pushed her towards the kitchen, she called out to Chen Shi, "Your Highness, please sit for a while. I'll be right back."
"Okay, go ahead, sister-in-law." Chen Shi waved her hand and lay down on the swing chair, feeling increasingly relaxed.
She closed her eyes and unknowingly fell asleep, even having strange and wonderful dreams.
In her dream, there was a shimmering blue sea and a lush primeval forest. She heard a man's voice calling repeatedly, "Ashi, wake up! Wake up!"
She opened her eyes groggily, and what she saw was a man's face.
His eyes held a mixture of anxiety and joy: "You're finally awake. If you hadn't woken up, your brother would have killed me."
The man's handsome face was somewhat blurry, but his features were clearly defined. His eyebrows were slightly raised, and his tone carried a hint of warning and helplessness.
"How many times have I saved you? Can you please not play such dangerous games next time! I can't find you every time!"
Chen Shi tried hard to see the man's face clearly when she suddenly heard someone calling her name.
"Your Highness, wake up, Your Highness..."
Chen Shi suddenly opened her eyes, and what she saw was a warm light. She squinted for a moment before realizing what day it was.
"Haitang..." She sat up. "How did I fall asleep?"
“That’s right,” Haitang said with a smile. “If you’re tired, you can go to the palace to rest. It’s windy here, so be careful not to catch a cold.”
Chen Shi nodded and glanced around the pavilion behind him: "...Where is my sister-in-law?"
