Chapter 44: Temptation and meeting the sick Prince

The Emperor asked to prepare magnificent meals because he wants them to enjoy the food. However, that would be very impossible. Of course, its not because the Palace kitchens cooking is not good, but because of the dull atmosphere around them. So obviously, any delicious food will turn sour.

At the dinner table, Lin Chujiu didnt even make a single sound. She tried to follow the table etiquette to her utmost capability and didnt dare to make mistake until the Emperor himself put down his chopstick. Whether Lin Chujiu has eaten or not, she also followed and put down her chopstick. After that, the maidservant immediately came and brought them water to rinse their mouth.

The Emperor also know that his presence made the atmosphere dull so after saying a few words, he no longer stays and just left. Lin Chujiu also wanted to leave and retreat, but when she about to say her farewell ceremony the Seventh Prince stop her and ask her to play with him again.

Lin Chujiu frown her eyebrows and wanted to make an excuse. However, the Seventh Prince didnt give her an opportunity to speak and directly hugged the Empress to ask her consent and stop Lin Chujiu too.

The Empress helplessly shook her head and then said: Chujiu, most of the time, only the eunuchs stay with the little Seventh Prince, so he doesnt encounter any lady to play around with him. Its only you who always play with him in the palace, so could you let him play with you for a bit more.

The Empress looked at the Seventh Prince with full of love while pulling him away, but her temperament is still as noble and dignified as ever. However, her doting and love for him cannot deceive the peoples eyes. And their level of relationship as a mother and child looks very different to the Crown Prince.

And because the Empress had said so, Lin Chujiu can no longer refuse and can only show a smile.

When Lin Chujiu nodded her head, the Seventh Prince cheerfully jumped up and said: Imperial Aunt is the best, I really like Imperial Aunt the most.

What? You like Imperial Aunt than your Muhou (mother)? Is Muhou not good enough for you? The Empress pretended to be jealous, so the Seventh Prince immediately coax her. A seven-year-old childs words are like a honey that is so sweet. So, a person wont be able to reject it.

Lin Chujiu just keep smiling and stand in the same place, until the Seventh Prince finished coaxing the Empress. But when they left, the Seventh Princes suggested walking around the palace a bit more.

Imperial Aunt, we just eat so walking around a bit is good for digestion. The Seventh Prince said, but Lin Chujiu doesnt know what he really wanted to do so she just nodded to agree.

Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir (Idiom: different situations call for different action). She might not be afraid of Xiao Tianyao, but she shouldnt act carelessly to this Seventh Prince which she finds not an ordinary child.

So, Lin Chujiu walk all around the palace with four maidservants and two little eunuchs of the prince, while the Seventh Prince himself is bouncing and jumping all the way around. The Seven Prince doesnt need anyone to lead the way, so he took Lin Chujiu to the East side up to the West side of the palace. Occasionally, they encounter some group of concubines, but Lin Chujiu doesnt need to greet them because their rank is not high enough to her.

After walking for a long time, they didnt encounter any strange person or things. So, Lin Chujiu started to doubt herself that maybe she was just thinking too much. Seventh Prince is still a child, so why would he have a heavy heart. But the next moment, they encountered the Third Prince who is being pushed by his eunuch.

Third older brother, The Seventh Prince got surprised and releases Lin Chujius hand then went around the Third Prince.

Third Prince Xiao Zian is the Emperors son to Imperial Concubine Zhou. However, when he was born, he has a congenital leg disability, so the Imperial Doctors use their superb skills and rare medicines just to keep his legs grow normally.

Because of his sickness, the Third Prince only stay in his private palace most of the time. Lin Chujiu never met him before and this is the very first time she had seen him in person. But the reason why the previous Lin Chujiu could recognize him is because he is also sitting in a wheelchair like Xiao Tianyao and there were rumors that he has an attractive face.

Rumors says that the Third Prince has an unparalleled handsome face and has a warm temperament just like an immortal god, which could make a person wont forget him in just one glance.

Those rumors were spread by the people that had already seen the Third Prince. However, not all the people wanted to believe them so they just said that they will know it eventually once they have seen him. And because not all the people in the entire East Country could see the Third Prince easily, they couldnt help but just fantasize that the Third Prince is such a romantic man.

And so in just a glance, Lin Chujiu herself find out that the rumors dont have the slightest exaggeration. The man in front of her is not only handsome but also look as pretty as a painting. He was just quietly sitting there, but she could sense that he is a very modest, self-discipline and gentleman.

Lin Chujiu had already seen countless of handsome men in her previous life. But when she saw the Third Prince, she thought she had seen an immortal god.

Imperial Aunt Xiao Zian took the initiative to say hello. At that moment, his eyes looked so clear and his thin lips were looks so good. So, even though he was sitting in a wheelchair it couldnt cover up the elegance in his style.

This man is simply the enemy of all the men in the world. Every move he makes looks very natural and appropriate, but once you have seen it. Any lady wont be able to stop herself to get attracted.

Since you unintentionally made yourself attractive, Im sure those ladies really fall in love with you and dumped themselves to you.

Lin Chujius said her praise with a dark looking face. However, she tried to recover her gentle face soon and sincerely smile: Your royal highness, Third Prince. The gentle face of the Third Prince can make a person feel at ease and can stop a person to do harm on him.

However, when Lin Chujiu saw the Third Princes current situation. She couldnt help but think about Xiao Tianyao: Both of them has paralyzed legs, so why is Xiao Tianyao so ill-tempered? He should learn to be calm just like the Third Prince, right?

In front of the Third Prince, the Seventh Prince didnt act like a spoiled child and stop jumping off. Instead, he just stood beside him just like a grown up man. And every words and action he took are very polite.

The Third Prince didnt also treat the Seventh Prince just like a child. He spoke with him very serious but didnt forget Lin Chujius presence.

But because they were in the middle of the road. They havent talked much when Third Prince said: Imperial Aunt and Seventh younger brother, where will you go? Do you want me to show you the way? However, theres nothing much to see up ahead of the northwest corner.

Third older brother, Imperial Aunt and I were just walking around the palace and accidentally came here. But, when we were about to go back, we saw you. The Seventh Prince smiled and explained. His face looks so innocent and pure, but a person couldnt help but feel doubt

Lin Chujiu couldnt help but think that the Seventh Prince didnt accidentally take her in this place. However, why did he bring her here?

Is it for her to meet the legendary handsome Third Prince? And see the that the Third Prince has the same situation of Xiao Tianyao?

Is the Seventh that naive?

I was about to go to Mufei (mother), do you also want to go? When Xiao Zian spoke, his line of sight fell on Lin Chujiu to seek her answer. However, Lin Chujiu havent answered when the Seventh Prince clapped his hands then said: Thats good! Thats good! Third older brother, you should go out more. As you also know, Imperial Uncle Tianyao has the same fate as you. But, he doesnt just stay inside his mansion every day. I heard Big Brother Crown Prince said that Imperial Uncle Tianyao even invited the most famous doctor in the world to treat him. So, if that famous doctor cures Imperial Uncle Tianyao, I will definitely ask him to let that doctor cure your legs too. And when you no longer need to stay in your wheelchair, you can even travel all over the world.

The Seventh Prince said with full of concern to Third Prince Xiao Zian. But inside his heart, he doesnt really care. He thought others wouldnt find his words offensive, but

Lin Chujiu know that Third Prince Xiao Zian didnt like it when the Seventh Princes said that he has the same fate as Xiao Tianyao. After all, the medical system desperately reminding her that there is a patient she should give a treatment. And that patient is no other than the Third Prince himself. But

Inside the palace, how could she just randomly give him a treatment ah?
