Chapter 008: Lin Shouyan, I’ll Write You a Divorce Letter, Just Leave
Lin Shouyan panicked for a moment, but his professional demeanor and quick thinking allowed him to quickly put on a pitiful face.
“No, Crown Prince Brother… Yan Yan just wants Crown Prince Brother to let go! My nose hurts!”
Qi Zhen released his grip.
Lin Shouyan’s nose turned red. On his fair face, the little red nose made him look even more playful and cute, making people want to pinch and tease him more.
As soon as this thought popped up, Qi Zhen was startled, his face darkening.
“From today on, you’re confined to the Western Garden.”
“Huh?”
This won’t do!
He still needs to find someone to have an affair with!
The courtyard is full of maidservants, eunuchs, and attendants, how is he supposed to have an affair?
Be the bottom?
“Crown Prince Brother, please don’t!”
Qi Zhen was cold and expressionless.
The little fool looked pained, “Crown Prince Brother, can you change the punishment? If you’re angry, unsatisfied, just trample on me hard! But don’t confine Yan Yan!”
Qi Zhen’s expression cracked.
His face turned all sorts of colors, very colorful indeed.
“Where did you learn these words?”
The little fool looked aggrieved, trembling with fear at Qi Zhen’s expression, “Didn’t Crown Prince Brother have someone send me picture books? They taught me… I even drew one for Brother!”
The little fool pulled out a piece of paper from his clothes.
Once opened.
There was a bird on it.
The ink was heavy, probably because he thought the initial drawing was too small, so he used a brush to trace over it again and again, making it bigger and bigger.
As a result, both the shape and size of the bird were astonishing.
Qi Zhen’s hand trembled as he held the drawing.
Not only did he draw it, but he also carried it with him…
Qi Zhen gritted his teeth, “What picture book?”
The little fool handed over the culprit.
Qi Zhen’s face was particularly sour!
He punished Xu Fuquan for acting on his own.
And confined the little fool with no filter on his mouth.
That night, Qi Zhen had a dream.
In the dream was Lin Shouyan,
A stunningly beautiful Lin Shouyan.
Obedient, soft, looking at him with sparkling eyes.
In the dream, he wasn’t satisfied with just that, he ordered him, “Speak.”
Lin Shouyan smiled, “Brother.”
Qi Zhen woke up with a start at that moment.
The sky outside was already bright.
Qi Zhen’s face was gloomy, and after getting up, he cut off snacks to the Western Garden and invited the strictest etiquette teacher to the Western Garden.
–
Lin Shouyan found learning etiquette very difficult.
So difficult that he was almost beaten every day.
It wasn’t an act, it wasn’t a performance, it was just that the formalities were too many. Plus, with his identity as the Crown Princess, the etiquette was even more complex! In some places, he had to salute like a man, in others, he had to follow the etiquette of a Crown Princess.
As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen.
But the little fool’s character setting is that he can’t write.
He really couldn’t remember!
So he often got the paddle.
One day, Qi Zhen strolled near the Western Garden and heard the little fool wailing, “Nanny! It’s swollen! It’s swollen! Yan Yan can’t hold chopsticks to eat! Yan Yan will starve to death!”
Qi Zhen frowned, he hadn’t instructed the teacher to be so harsh.
He gave Xu Fuquan a look, and Xu Fuquan, under the pretext of the Crown Prince checking on the progress of etiquette learning, went to see the little fool’s hand. It was a bit swollen, but it didn’t affect eating. The wailing was loud though.
Xu Fuquan told the truth, “The beating wasn’t heavy, it’s just that the Crown Princess seems to be particularly afraid of pain.”
Qi Zhen lowered his eyes and said nothing.
When night fell, Qi Zhen suddenly said, “Is there a lantern festival on the street?”
“Yes, today is the Laba Festival.”
“Get a carriage, call Lin Shouyan.”
Xu Fuquan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.
The Crown Prince wants to take the Crown Princess out for fun.
Lin Shouyan was very excited.
He hadn’t seen an ancient lantern festival with his own eyes. Moreover, going out meant he could meet more people. He could take the opportunity to run away, then randomly pull someone he found pleasing to sleep with.
The task would be completed!
So he was particularly happy, his eyes sparkling like stars, asking Qi Zhen what this was, asking if they could go there, getting upset when they couldn’t squeeze through, and asking if they could ride horses to play.
Qi Zhen said, “You can’t ride horses on the long street. How did you learn your etiquette?”
The little fool had to give up.
The crowd was bustling, the streets noisy.
Qi Zhen was originally shoulder to shoulder with him, but seeing him darting around, afraid this fool would get lost, he grabbed his hand.
“Behave.”
The little fool behaved a little, but was still excitedly looking around, finding everything new and fun. Until he saw the snack stall.
Qi Zhen had cut off his snacks for several days.
Lin Shouyan had suffered from a lack of snacks for a long time.
He had no money.
Could only look at Qi Zhen with longing, “Brother…”
Qi Zhen took out money and bought a portion.
Which ended up digging a hole for himself.
Everything Lin Shouyan hadn’t tried, he wanted to try.
Qi Zhen didn’t mind the money, mainly, he wanted to take him out for fun on a whim today. Afraid of alarming people, they wore masks, and naturally didn’t bring many people.
Now the hands of the two people behind them were full, and the little fool still wanted to buy more.
“No more buying.”
“But… I want to try.”
“Next time.”
“……”
There won’t be a next time.
The little fool mustered up the courage to bargain, “Then at least, a candied hawthorn.”
Qi Zhen glanced at him, took out money, bought a skewer and handed it to him. The lower half of his face, not covered by the mask, immediately blossomed into a smile, happily taking the candied hawthorn, holding back and swallowing a gulp, first offering the candied hawthorn to his mouth.
“Brother, you eat first.”
Before Qi Zhen could speak, the little fool took the candied hawthorn away.
“No, no, Yan Yan should eat first, what if it’s poisoned and Crown Prince Brother eats it?”
Then he took a bite himself.
Qi Zhen watched him with deep eyes.
The little fool ate one, then offered the candied hawthorn to Qi Zhen’s lips, “Brother, eat.”
Qi Zhen raised his hand.
His hand paused in mid-air, then slowly touched his lips.
Very soft.
Qi Zhen wiped away the sugar from the corner of his mouth.
“Lin Shouyan, when we go back, I’ll write you a divorce letter. Just leave, don’t let me see you again.”
These words didn’t even pass through Qi Zhen’s mind, and after he said them, he realized what he had said.
His expression was a bit heavy.
Lin Shouyan was shocked.
How could he just turn hostile like that?
Today was supposed to be a happy day.
“Why? Is it because Crown Prince Brother doesn’t eat candied hawthorn? Crown Prince Brother, are you angry again? Yan Yan has been learning etiquette properly…”
“No reason.”
Qi Zhen walked forward, even letting go of his hand.
The little fool quickly caught up, “Why is there no reason? You have to give Yan Yan a reason, right? Brother, do you dislike Yan Yan eating too much? Then Yan Yan doesn’t want any of these, doesn’t want them…”
The little fool threw the things in his hand to the ground.
Qi Zhen turned back, calling his name in a low voice, “Lin Shouyan.”
Lin Shouyan quickly picked up what he had thrown on the ground, handed it to the attendants behind him, and let them throw it away.
The little fool looked pitiful, like a puppy abandoned by someone, looking like he was about to cry.
Qi Zhen was a bit annoyed.
The straight line of his lips indicated his displeasure.
“Brother, why are you like this? You often don’t see me for ten days or half a month. So you’ve been tired of Yan Yan for a long time, right? But on that day in the mountains, Brother, you did have a husband and wife relationship with Yan Yan.”
Qi Zhen frowned, about to speak.
Lin Shouyan suddenly threw himself into his arms, hugging his waist.
Qi Zhen was momentarily speechless.
“Brother… you don’t want to take responsibility for Yan Yan, right? Afraid Yan Yan will cling to you… Yan Yan won’t, Yan Yan won’t do anything to make Brother unhappy…”
Qi Zhen took a deep breath, closed his eyes.
“If you shed a tear, you’ll stand here crying until you’re done before going back.”
Lin Shouyan was secretly delighted.
That’s great!
Just what he wanted!
A tear immediately fell.
Qi Zhen clenched his fist, turned and left without hesitation.
But after taking three steps, he turned back.
His temples and neck were bulging with veins, looking like he was about to kill someone, very frightening.
Lin Shouyan stood in the middle of the bustling crowd, tears streaming.
Crying fiercely, but without a sound.
A fire raged left and right, unable to come out, instead forming an indescribable pain in the heart.
Qi Zhen almost gritted his teeth, “Lin Shouyan, letting you go is for your own good.”
The little fool looked up, his eyes red from crying, the lower half of his face all wet. Without even thinking, you could imagine what a mess the upper half of his face, covered by the mask, was.
“Brother, you go, Yan Yan will cry it out before going back.”
