Chapter 52.2

The look on the young princes face that said, Im fierce, Im super fierce, Im extremely fierce, immediately collapsed, and he subconsciously hid his hands behind his back, looking pitifully at the person in front of him.

Brother-in-law, dont hit, Ill learn it soon.

After saying that, while under the threat of the ruler, he immediately showed an although very angry, I am humbled and will endure expression on his face.

Lin Shiheng nodded his head in satisfaction. If Your Highness can still maintain this face after being beaten by a ruler, then I can be assured.

So, he really did hit Shen Huan on the palm of his hand with a ruler.

Ow!

The facial expression on Shen Huans face, who had never suffered any physical punishments since he had grown up, was instantly transformed by the miserable pain and could only hold his hand and hide it behind him with grievances.

Dont hit, dont hit

Facing his pitiful cry, the blue-clad scholar wasnt moved at all but only lightly said, Hands out.

Shen Huan faintly hung his head like a chicken and stretched out his other hand.

Pa

He didnt want to be hit again, so this time he remembered Lin Shihengs words, and even though he wanted to put a painful expression on his face, he still frowned to show the appearance of Im angry but Im holding back my anger in a very suffocating way.

Lin Shiheng took back his hand with satisfaction and placed the ruler back.

Then with a gentle smile on his face, he told Shen Huan, Your Highness, remember, if you meet the four Princes, you will respond with this expression. If you meet His Majesty, you should have no expression.

Shen Huan cried on the inside with anger on his face.

He just wanted to seize the throne, why should he still take expression training?

So fearing that he might forget and would be beaten again, Shen Huan tried to maintain the expression of Im the fiercest man in the world on his face while playing chess.

Meanwhile, the real worlds most ferocious coughed softly with a black chess piece sandwiched between his slender fingertips and slowly put it down while gently urging him. Your Highness, its time to place another piece.

Shen Huan hurriedly set down the chess piece with a fierce face, in fear that he would be beaten later if he reacted any slower.

***

This was the scene that Shen Huyang saw when she pushed open the door.

Her Fuma still had a slightly pale face full of gentleness, even after drinking all those nourishing soup. He was carefully playing chess with his lips pressed, and when he heard the door open, he looked up and met her eyes. His black eyes were full of warmth that seemed to be able to melt people.

When he saw her, his lips were slightly raised, his eyes were smiling, and his voice gently called out, Princess.

Shen Huyang couldnt help smiling. Fuma.

She walked forward and draped the white fleece wool blanket she had just brought over on Lin Shihengs legs. Its so cold today, Fuma should take care of your body.

Lin Shiheng held her hand with a smile. The joints of his hands were distinct, and perhaps because of his long illness, the blue blood vessels on the fair back of his hands were looming, but it wasnt ugly, instead, rather made one feel sympathetic.

This one, naturally, referred to Shen Huyang who was determined to make sure that Fuma recovers well.

She also returned the sentiment and held her husbands hand, aware that his touch wasnt too cold but even warm before putting her mind at ease. Fuma, dont just focus on accompanying Aner, dont forget that the imperial physician has instructed you to move around more. Just now, the maid beside me came to report that many flowers in the garden are beautifully in bloom. Shall we go to appreciate the flowers together soon?

Shen Huyangs impression of a scholar entirely came from her impression of her maternal grandfather. In her mind, scholars generally didnt like to walk around, such that any walking around was definitely only to change their location to continue studying. Directly suggesting that she wanted fuma to go out for a walk would cause him to be reluctant, so she threw out the flowers in the garden to lure Lin Shiheng to go out for activities.

The blue-clad scholar didnt refuse as he looked at her with a gaze that seemed to contain an autumnal stream or as if it were a warm spring breeze, both of which held an abundance of warmth.

If the Princess invites, how could I reject?

After finishing this game with His Highness, we should go enjoy the flowers together.

After hearing his response, Shen Huyangs eyes seemed a little happier. Then Ill wait here. After a while, well go together to see the garden full of spring colors.

Upon hearing this, the handsome Fuma looked down shyly, his eyelids slightly lowered, and replied with a warm voice, Although I havent seen it yet, I already know that the garden full of flowers still wouldnt be able to match Princesss smile.

After all, he wasnt quick-witted nor was his memory too good. And even if he was bullied, he wouldnt think about revenge or anything as long as the person in question didnt bring it up.

Such a person was commonly known as Ersha.

(TNote: Ersha = silly idiot.)

But now, Shen Huan, who the Eldest Prince had always viewed as innocent and naive in his heart, has signs of wanting to explode?

He certainly didnt consider that it might be that the youngest brother was in a bad mood and he just happened to come at a bad time, the anger was clearly directed at him.

What did the hell happen?

The Eldest Prince flipped through the recent events in his mind.

But the only thing that came to mind was that his underlings, who were sent to the mansion that Shen Huan had bought outside, ran into people who were under the Third Prince.

Did the Third Prince tell him that he was spying on him?

Did they form an alliance?

In his heart, the Eldest Prince gritted his teeth while hating the fact that the Third Prince was always antagonizing him. Was it not enough that he had united with the Fourth Prince against him before, but now he even wanted to drag the youngest and most useless Shen Huan onto the boat?

What was the use of having such an idiot!?

To add trouble for him!?

The Eldest Prince never suspected that Shen Huan had deliberately made this expression to deceive him. After all, Shen Huans stupidity has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the past, when the Eldest Princess was still there, there were people guarding him. But now that the Eldest Princess has left the palace, the Third Prince must have felt that there was no one sheltering him anymore, so he pushed him out to be the spearhead.

He certainly wouldnt dispute with a silly person who had been pushed out like a pawn. The most important thing was to pull the person into an alliance quickly, so as not to be countered by the Third Prince, a guy who would only play dirty tricks behind peoples back.

Thinking thus, the Eldest Prince couldnt care less about the brotherly and friendly script that he had written in his heart before he came. He simply casually exchanged a couple of words with Shen Huan, who was full of I am very angry, I am super angry on his face, then left in a hurry.

After the other had left, Shen Huan finally allowed himself to slide down, then reached out and rubbed his face.

It was really tiring to keep this expression on for such a long time.

He should quickly eat a snack to make up for it!

***

Over the next few days, Shen Huan had eaten several snacks but still didnt manage to make up for it.

His four brothers, as if they had suddenly discovered that they had a younger brother, took turns coming to his palace for all kinds of enthusiastic inquiries but all left in a hurry shortly after meeting.

According to Lin Shihengs orders, Shen Huan had been trying to pose as a little pufferfish whenever they came. Although he didnt understand the use of this, the next few days of fiery encounters between the four princes all indicated that he was the last straw that completely crushed his brothers plastic brotherhood.

The Eldest Prince broke up in discord with the Third Prince because he discovered that the mansion Shen Huan bought outside used to be under the name of someone under the Third Prince, who had then sold it at a low price after Shen Huan returned from Nancheng.

Who would believe that they werent secretly in alliance given that they had sold it at such a low price?

The Third Prince, on the other hand, ran into the Eldest Prince along the way to Shen Huans, and he suspected that the other had wooed the youngest and most gullible younger brother and was angered back by the Eldest Princes change of face.

Good! The Eldest Prince, who always loved to pretend, was too lazy to hide it. He must be colluding with the Fifth Prince!

The Third Prince and Fourth Prince were even crueler to their broken plastic brotherhood.

And they also found each others people within Shen Huan mansion.

No one said anything about it, but everyone was secretly on guard.

The Fourth Prince soon developed dark circles under his eyes.

The Fourth Prince, who once had to maintain harmony even if they were violent in private, was completely torn apart.

Talking to each other could make things clear, but these Princes who had been fighting since childhood just didnt budge.

To be precise, even if they managed to squeak out the truth, it was useless. To these Princes, to whom the words I want to eat could be rationalized to you want to eat food, equals you want to eat the whole world, equals you want to be an Emperor were definitely not going to believe it.
