Jiaojiao is getting married, and the male leads fall for her and fight over her.

Chapter 285 The Crown Prince is Jealous

Shen Shuyi was completely unaware of Li Yi's thoughts. She chatted with Pei Xizhou for a few minutes when she suddenly felt something behind her. She turned around and saw that Pei Dongzhou had woken up at some point and was standing behind her.

"Aren't you going to sleep a little longer?" Shen Shuyi asked as she stepped forward.

Pei Dongzhou leaned on her shoulder as if he had no bones, and said lazily, "I can't sleep without my cousin by my side."

Pei Xizhou looked away, finding the scene jarring.

How could someone like Prince Pei have the nerve to cling to his cousin? Unbelievable.

Li Yi was also quite jealous. He felt he could understand Pei Shizi's behavior; if he were Pei Shizi, he would also want to lean on Shen's shoulder like that.

Putting everything else aside, although Pei Dongzhou is not interested in women, he has a good eye for women, and he picked out the most interesting cousin, Shen.

Even though he had countless women, none of them were as interesting as his cousin Shen.

Shen Shuyi herself was speechless.

Pei Dongzhou is such a rascal, he's never been like this before. He used to be a very proper person, but now he's being so intimate with her in public.

She looked at Pei Xizhou and Li Yi somewhat awkwardly: "Your Highness, my cousin, the Crown Prince, can be a little strange sometimes."

She secretly elbowed Pei Dongzhou, giving him a warning look, hoping he would behave.

Pei Dongzhou ignored Shen Shuyi and said to Li Yi, "My cousin promised to show me around, so I won't keep the prince company."

Li Yi frowned slightly upon hearing this.

What do you mean by "Shen's cousin promised to show Pei Shizi around"? It's obvious that Pei Shizi wants to take Shen's cousin away and doesn't want him to see her much, right?

Was Prince Pei just showing off his autonomy over his cousin Shen?

hateful! !
However, the cousin Shen in Pei Shizi's arms still made him quite envious. No wonder that madman Pei Nanzhou had his eye on the throne.

Because only by obtaining the throne can one have any woman they desire.

It remains to be seen who will emerge victorious between Li Hong and Pei Nanzhou. He still believes that the throne is less appealing than a beautiful woman; what's so great about being an emperor? It's exhausting.

Although the emperor had a harem of three thousand, he could still have countless beauties even as a leisurely prince.

No wonder some people say that in terms of liking beautiful women, he is most like Emperor Jinglong, and sometimes I feel the same way.

However, in terms of appearance, Pei Nanzhou is undoubtedly the one who most resembles Emperor Jinglong.

Just as he was lost in thought, Pei Xizhou suddenly began to lecture him again: "You're not allowed to make any more advances towards my cousin, do you hear me?!"

Li Yi looked at Pei Xizhou and chuckled, "Do you think I could fight against Prince Pei, who is so fierce and has him watching over Cousin Shen? But I think you're being stubborn. You clearly had a chance. If Pei Dongzhou hadn't interfered, Cousin Shen would already be your mistress. How could you be so useless and let Pei Dongzhou marry Cousin Shen right under your nose?"

I've never seen Pei Xizhou so spineless.

Pei Xizhou remained silent for a while before saying, "What do you know, you womanizer? As long as my cousin is doing well and is happy, that's enough."

He knew that his cousin liked his older brother, so he didn't continue to compete for her.

If his cousin liked him, he would fight Pei Da to the death, even if it cost him his life. "Are you looking down on me?" Li Yi said, dissatisfied.

Upon hearing this, Pei Xizhou said, "You change women every day, how could you understand the value of true love? Li Yi, let me tell you, a man as filthy as you doesn't deserve to covet your cousin!"

Li Yi laughed in anger upon hearing this: "That's a personal attack! What's wrong with me being a womanizer? They all knew I was a womanizer when they were with me, but they were willing. I didn't lie to them about anything, and I gave them plenty of affection, plus my body..."

Pei Xizhou thought this made sense: "So if your cousin doesn't like you, you shouldn't even think about her. Isn't that your principle?"

Li Yi was stunned, speechless, completely stumped by Pei Xizhou's words.

However, he felt that his cousin Shen was different from other women. It wasn't that no other woman had rejected him, but he would forget them as soon as they were gone. But after his cousin Shen rejected him, he still couldn't forget her.

The moment he saw his cousin Shen, he felt his inner lust stir again. She was the woman he wanted to pounce on the moment he saw her. Even though she was married, he still wanted her.

Pei Xizhou was still worried about Li Yi: "You swear a solemn oath to me that you will never again have designs on your cousin!"

"You're sick!" Li Yi ignored Pei Xizhou and walked away.

He even wondered if Pei Dongzhou might die young one day, and if so, he could take over Shen's cousin's care.

Pei Xizhou knew that Li Yi was still after his cousin, but fortunately, Pei Dongzhou was capable enough to protect her.

Pei Dongzhou walked away with Shen Shuyi in his arms. Shen Shuyi noticed that he had suddenly become quiet and wondered what was wrong with him pretending to be melancholy. "What's wrong?" she asked.

"Madam, please stay away from Li Yi in the future." Pei Dongzhou returned Shen Shuyi's gentle smile.

Shen Shuyi was taken aback: "Why?"

She felt that Li Yi was, after all, a prince, and there was no harm in getting along well with him.

Pei Dongzhou gently pinched the tip of her nose: "Silly."

Shen Shuyi scoffed lightly: "You're the stupid one."

What's wrong with her?
Pei Dongzhou could tell that Shen Shuyi really didn't know anything, but as a man, he knew best how lewd men could be. Just now, Li Yi's eyes were practically glued to her, and she was completely oblivious.

My cousin is great in every way, except she can be really slow on the uptake, especially when it comes to relationships.

"You should explain yourself clearly, why did you tell me to avoid Li Yi..." Shen Shuyi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Is my cousin, the Crown Prince, jealous?"

Pei Dongzhou was speechless: "Madam only just realized it now."

"What's so great about Li Yi's jealousy? He's a womanizer and a playboy, and I have no connection with him. What's so jealous about my cousin, the young master?!" Shen Shuyi was genuinely puzzled.

Isn't Pei Dongzhou being too petty?
In that case, wouldn't Pei Dongzhou be endlessly jealous?
Pei Dongzhou sighed softly. He thought it best to let it go; it was better that she didn't know, lest she actually remember Li Yi. Li Yi's face was quite attractive, and he was a seasoned womanizer; in some ways, he really couldn't compare to Li Yi.

“Li Yi has too many women. I’m afraid he’s too dirty and will defile Madam,” Pei Dongzhou said, seemingly serious but actually feigning concern.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuyi lowered her voice: "He is, after all, a prince. Cousin, please keep your voice down so that it doesn't reach the ears of the person in question and cause him to hold a grudge against you."

Prince Pei already had many enemies, and the emperor had begun to neglect him. In addition, Pei Nanzhou and Pei Dongzhou were at odds with each other, so Prince Pei's situation was very bad.
