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

Chapter 310 His smile made her legs go weak

Shen Shuyi, of course, also noticed Pei Dongzhou's displeasure and tried her best to appease him: "Your Highness is wrong. In my opinion, it is my great fortune to be able to marry my cousin, the Crown Prince. Whether it is character, talent, or ability, my cousin is second to none. I don't think there is a more outstanding man than my cousin, the Crown Prince."

Pei Dongzhou, who was in a volatile state, was soothed by Shen Shuyi's gentle words and regained his usual gentle and warm demeanor: "It is my great fortune to be able to marry my cousin."

Li Yi, who was suddenly forced to eat a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection): ...

He increasingly felt that the food in his mouth tasted bland. Other couples were harmonious, and he couldn't break them up even if he wanted to.

Seeing that Li Yi was lingering and wouldn't leave, Pei Dongzhou simply whispered something to A-Jian.

After hearing this, A-Jian accepted the order and left.

Before long, Pei Xizhou arrived at Fusang Temple.

As soon as Li Yi saw Pei Xizhou, he greeted him warmly: "Xizhou, come and sit down."

Judging from his demeanor, anyone who didn't know better would think he was the master of Fusangin.

To everyone's surprise, Pei Xizhou immediately reached out to him, saying, "Come on, let's go sit in my courtyard. You're disturbing my elder brother and sister-in-law here."

I've never seen anyone as tactless as Li Yi. Knowing that the young couple hadn't seen each other for a long time and needed some alone time, Li Yi still came over to ruin things. He has absolutely no sense of propriety.

"I need to discuss something with Dongzhou... Don't touch me, I don't like men..."

Despite Li Yi's protests, he was still rudely dragged out of Fusangyuan by Pei Xizhou.

The guards standing outside exchanged bewildered glances upon witnessing this scene. It seemed only the Pei brothers in the entire capital dared to be so disrespectful to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Li Yi was thus dragged to the West Garden by Pei Xizhou.

Li Yi has been here many times; coming here feels like returning home.

"Xizhou, let's go to Baixianglou for fun?" Li Yi suggested enthusiastically, feeling that he hadn't had any fun in a long time.

Pei Xizhou gave him a cold laugh: "Things are different now. If you dare to go, aren't you afraid you won't come back alive? There are quite a few people watching you. If you dare to go, I'll take you with me."

Li Yi thought about it and decided to give up: "Never mind, I don't really dare."

Nothing is more important than your own life.

“Don’t think I don’t know you’re still eyeing your cousin. Let me tell you, you can’t mess with a friend’s wife. You’ve said before that you’d only be lovers who are mutually attracted, and you wouldn’t force a woman who doesn’t want to be with you. Now that your cousin is married to your older brother, what are you still interfering for?” Pei Xizhou said seriously.

Li Yi scoffed at this: "Do you think I'm that indiscriminate? You know me, I'm not interested in other men's women!"

Pei Xizhou did not believe Li Yi's words.

Li Yi used to be a man of principle, but he felt that Li Yi, like him, clearly still liked his cousin.

Especially since men tend to go bad when they have power, and Li Yi doesn't seem like a good one. Now that he's become the crown prince, what will happen if he abuses his power for personal gain and forcibly takes his cousin away?
"How about this, you make a solemn oath, saying you swear you won't harm your cousin!" Pei Xizhou said to Li Yi.

Li Yi reacted strongly to these words: "I am the Crown Prince, how can I make a poisonous oath? That won't do. Don't worry, although I still think Cousin Shen is very cute, I don't like that she was touched by Pei Dongzhou."

Pei Xizhou just stared coldly at Li Yi. Although Li Yi felt a little guilty, he braced himself and said, "I am the Crown Prince now. What kind of beauty can't I have? However, my father doesn't like me indulging in beauty, and Dongzhou is very strict with me. Since I became the Crown Prince, my life has been very hard. It was much more comfortable to be a prince."

However, he also knew that now that he had taken this position, he had to hold onto it, otherwise he would lose his life, and his mother would lose hers too. What could he do? Continue to be the crown prince.

"You can say these things to me, but you must not let anyone else hear them, not even His Majesty," Pei Xizhou said solemnly.

"I'm not stupid, I know. But I must say, your brother is really amazing. Although he's old-fashioned and boring, the people he chooses and the things he does are all top-notch, and he's incredibly patient. Putting everything else aside, Cousin Shen has excellent taste, choosing Dongzhou to marry. If I were a woman, wouldn't I also marry a perfect man like Dongzhou?"

Pei Xizhou: ...

"What's with that expression?" Li Yi kicked Pei Xizhou.

Pei Xizhou kicked back: "I think you should just be a good crown prince. My brother's judgment is good, and I think you are really capable of taking on that position in the future."

Li Yi was speechless.

What's so great about being an emperor? Besides having a harem, you also have to manage so many officials. It's exhausting.

Unfortunately, there's no turning back now, and he can only grit his teeth and continue to persevere.

Inside the Fusang Courtyard, the good man Pei Dongzhou, seeing that the eyesore Li Yi had finally left, took Shen Shuyi's hand to digest her food.

"When His Highness the Crown Prince returns to the Crown Prince's residence later, would you like to personally escort him back?" Shen Shuyi asked.

Pei Dongzhou frowned and asked, "I've just returned home, and you're already trying to send me away, my wife?"

Hearing him refer to himself as "husband" made Shen Shuyi's scalp tingle.

"Let the Crown Prince stay at the Marquis's residence today, and send more people to protect him. The Crown Prince has been very tired lately, so let Xizhou keep him company and have a private chat to help him relax." As he said this, Pei Dongzhou asked gently, "Has Madam finished digesting her food?"

Shen Shuyi quickly shook her head: "I just got up and walked around, how could I have finished digesting my food?"

"Then I'll keep you company as you continue your digestion, my lady." Pei Dongzhou occasionally played with Shen Shuyi's soft fingers. "I've missed you terribly these past few days. Do you miss me, my lady?"

Shen Shuyi wondered if Pei Shizi would get angry if she said she didn't want to.
"Of course I miss him! I think about my cousin, the Crown Prince, all the time," Shen Shuyi quickly replied.

She had a bad feeling that she might be very tired tonight.

Prince Pei took a nap in the afternoon, and she hadn't touched him for a long time. When she saw him smile at her, her legs felt a little weak.

It turned out that she wasn't being paranoid. As soon as she finished replying, Pei Dongzhou suddenly picked her up and carried her in his arms: "I'll take my wife to a nice place to digest her food, and while we're at it, see if she really misses her husband that much."

Shen Shuyi: ...

At first, she thought he was going to take her to bed, but when they went to the private room, she realized that Pei Dongzhou was even more thirsty than she had imagined.

He claimed he was serving her while she bathed, but in reality, he was the one who groped her, and it eventually escalated into a bath together.

In fact, men can't go hungry, especially a lustful man like Prince Pei. That night, Shen Shuyi was thoroughly exhausted. Even after she fell into a deep sleep, she was still thinking that it would be better for Prince Pei to be busy.

Whenever he's not busy, she's the one who gets flustered and overwhelmed.
