Ojos encantadores

Capítulo 56

“That’s absolutely right.” Zhu Yu nodded in complete agreement. “Did you hear yourself clearly? Young Master Su was taken by me, the prince, with my own ‘force’.”

"If you had said we could do this earlier, we could have borrowed people from the Empress and snatched Young Master Su back." Wuyou waved her hands and shouted, "Every time you tell us that we can't do anything reckless after we become princesses."

"But you were the one who acted recklessly and stole her away!"

"That's right! Dad is the most determined. This time we're going to take it back."

Two pretty faces, one gripping chopsticks and the other a spoon, made a very spirited declaration.

"Oh, so young and already dares to steal a woman from me, the prince." Zhu Yu narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze across the room. "Truly courageous."

Bloodlines truly do pass down; kidnapping and imprisonment, and a complete lack of conscience, have been passed down from generation to generation. Su Shaochu leisurely savors fine wine, watching this drama of father and daughter vying for power.

"It was Father who broke his promise and tried to take Young Master Su from us first!"

"Even if Young Master Su lets us stay one night, Father won't let us go. That's outrageous!"

The carefree and worry-free sisters have decided to join hands with their father and persevere to the end!

"Let them pass!" Zhu Yu sneered at their absurdity. "Of course not. This prince cannot go to sleep without holding my beloved younger brother Shaochu in his arms."

Zhu Yu glanced ambiguously at the person beside him, who was clearly the focus of the competition, yet acted as if he were an outsider.

"Why are you the only one allowed to sleep with Young Master Su? We want to sleep with him too!"

The two sisters argued and shouted, feeling deeply wronged.

"You... what can you do!" He looked at the young girls with amusement, but there was another layer of coldness in his words. "Only this prince knows how to soothe the body and soul of Young Master Su, to know which parts of her body are sensitive and which parts bring pleasure!"

"Worry-free and carefree" jumped up at the mention of this sentence and made a shy face gesture.

"Father, that's torturing Young Master Su!" Wuyou Kezhen shouted. "You dare to talk about comforting us? Don't think we're too young to understand what you're doing!"

“That’s right! We’ve seen plenty of Father’s outrageous deeds in the past.” Wuchou chimed in. “Among them, Young Master Su is the most pitiful. She’s been bullied the most by you. Every time you comfort her, she doesn’t see you for at least a day.”

Zhu Yu gave a cool snort. "With your bird-like brains, if you could understand adult matters, the Tiandu Dynasty would probably be handed over to the four foreign tribes to be divided up."

"But……"

"Sweetie, eat your food. You need to call me when I call you, okay?"

The two girls were about to argue, but they had already lost their temper under Zhu Yuwei's gaze. Whenever their father smiled gently and told them to be good, it meant they were to shut up and not make a fuss. Otherwise, once their father's strictness was unleashed, they would be in for a beating.

"It's so unfair. Every time I don't want to continue the conversation, I just say it's an adult's business."

"That's right! He's been doing adult things since he was thirteen."

The two girls pouted and mumbled. Inside the palace, they had already heard many stories about their father, the "Third Prince," and his glorious deeds.

Seeing that the argument between the father and his two daughters had finally come to an end, Su Shaochu not only did not feel embarrassed about this topic, but also thought seriously: It seems that the Empress's worries should be taken seriously. The father and his two daughters could fight like this over hugging her. Will the two little girls start to fight with their father when they grow up and become independent?

No wonder the Queen would consider her to be another terrible sin.

Next, the two girls kept trying to separate Zhu Yu and Su Shaochu from each other, desperately trying to get Su Shaochu to sit next to them. This was the only time they could get a seat for Su Shaochu.

"Dad, don't rush back after dinner! The market is so lively, let's take a stroll!"

"That's right! Dad, fine, you can take Young Master Su away, but let us go play in the streets!"

After finishing their meal, with the waiters clearing a path for them to descend the steps, Wuyou and Wuchou, still unwilling to give up, pressed on with their questions.

"No." Zhu Yu interrupted their hopes directly. "The remaining forces of the Demon Xi Cult have already headed towards Jinghui City. For your safety, you are not allowed to run around for the next few days. Once we go to the mansion in Jiangnan, you can have as much fun as you want."

Feng Yan and the imperial guards transferred from the capital continued to pursue Meng Yansi, a man who was extremely cunning and ruthless. Originally, he did not plan to leave "Piaoxia Peak" in the next few days, intending to wait until all the people in the Eastern Region were captured before leaving Jinghui City. However, due to the quarreling of the two girls and Shao Chu's pleading, there was a banquet here tonight.

“Jiangnan is different from here, and we still have to wait so many days.”

The two girls immediately grumbled and complained, and Zhu Yu patted them on the shoulder.

"Good children, your father doesn't want anything to happen to you."

"Okay, okay!"

They grumbled reluctantly, but once their father made a decision, no one could change it.

Su Shaochu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but cover his mouth.

"Has your younger brother, Shao Chu, discovered something interesting?"

"It's nothing. It's rare to see you show such fatherly tenderness. It's really... not bad." She raised an eyebrow.

"Are you willing to fall for me again, Your Highness?"

"Well..." she winked at him playfully and said, "If you won't let go of me, then do something with me!"

"Oh, what does my beloved brother want me to do with you?"

"Young Master Su—Father—where are you going—"

"Take us with you if you're going to have fun!"

Suddenly, Su Shaochu grabbed Zhu Yu's hand and ran towards the market outside the door, shouting "Worry-free and carefree!"

"master--"

"Young Master! Young Madam—"

Yan Pingfei and his attendant were startled by this sudden action and couldn't keep up. They saw the two disappear into the crowd.

"We want to too—"

The two girls followed suit, calling out to each other before running towards the door.

"Stop the young lady!"

At Yan Pingfei's command, the entourage rushed forward!

"Let me go!"

Wuchou was pulled back and struggled angrily.

"Young Miss—"

She was just one step too late and Wuyou ran out the door.

"Quickly, after them—we must bring the young lady back!"

Chapter Eight

The moon was high in the sky, and after the colorful fireworks, the streets of Jinghui City were filled with lively festive crowds, and the clamor of vendors could be seen everywhere.

"Young Chu loves his younger brother, what kind of tricks are you playing?"

Zhu Yuchu was taken aback when Su Shaochu pulled him into the bustling street. But when he saw her holding his hand tightly as they walked, it was as if a string in his heart had been touched, and he couldn't help but let her lead him.

"It lets you feel what the joy and happiness of ordinary people are like."

"Why should I, the prince, feel these things?"

Throughout his life, whatever he did, he could get things done with a single command, and no one dared to offend the imperial family. As for pushing and shoving, such things never happened in his life.

"It's worth trying to do it yourself."

"Do you intend to treat me like those two girls, Wuyou and Wuchou, letting them use all sorts of myths to test me?"

He smiled, his gaze fixed on her hand, which she held tightly. Her casual gesture filled him with a sense of contentment, and he even wished the street were long so that she could hold his hand and walk with him for a longer time. After all, this was the only time she had taken the initiative to get closer to him.

"Speaking of this, I really don't know if you, as a father, spoil them or are just too lazy to care, allowing them to be so picky about food."

"Is that a big deal?" He didn't think it was important. "Since I was little, I've been a pickier eater than them, and my mother forbids anyone from putting anything I don't like in front of me."

"It's truly a miracle that you're so smart and good-looking, with such a discerning palate."

Can this be taken as a compliment?

"There are so many people who praise the Third Prince that there is no less than one person like Shao Chu."

"This prince only cares about the person in his heart."

She turned her head to look at his focused gaze and slightly raised the corner of her lips.

"Then, I believe the Third Prince is very willing to win the favor of his beloved."

"That depends on what my beloved brother's request is," Zhu Yuke said, not so easily lured. "As I have said before, my beloved brother, you are someone who cannot be given any opportunity to take advantage of, otherwise your actions will be regrettable."

"Buying rouge and face powder, hairpins and hair ornaments are all opportunities to take advantage of?"

Arriving under the big banyan tree, in front of a street stall selling rouge, face powder, and accessories, this must be the cosmetics stall that Liu Tian'er mentioned.

"My brother would like these things?" He frowned at the bright red and garish colors on the stall. "If you want these, there are plenty of high-quality items in the palace. Why buy these cheap street vendor goods?"

"When strolling through the bustling streets, the point is to have some fun, why take it so seriously? You always wear bright red and purple, unafraid of blinding others, so I'll try wearing bright red and purple myself, that'll match!"

She picked out cosmetics from the stall, specifically choosing colors so bright they were almost frightening. She held them to her nose, smelled the fragrance, and asked him what he thought.

“My dear brother…are you serious?” He couldn’t help but wonder if this was another form of revenge. “You never even wear jewelry, let alone cosmetics, so why would you suddenly want these?”

Even the pearl earrings from the other day were chosen by Wuyou and Wuchou, who brought out their own treasured collections and competed to let her choose. It turned out that the two girls were competing to see whose earring Su Shaochu would choose. In the end, she chose a simple and matching pearl earring from each of their collections to appease the two girls' quarrel.

"What, Third Prince, don't you like it?" Seeing his strange expression, she responded with an exaggerated expression. "This is to suit your taste! It's so bright red that strangers will back down, absolutely unique; it's just to show that this 'nobility' belongs to our imperial family, and no one in the common people can match it."

Indeed, it is unparalleled; even a single large ruby ring is not something an ordinary wealthy businessman can afford.

"I suddenly have a feeling that I've been tricked."

"This is a huge misunderstanding; the hearts of young people are inherently pure."

Zhu Yu raised an eyebrow at her innocent-looking face.

“My brother’s naiveté has always been the beginning of his mischief, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it.”

“In that case…” Su Shaochu turned to the vendor and said, “Boss, I’ll take all these red and purple rouge and face powder.”

“My dear brother, you…”

The stall owner was happy to pack it up for her, not forgetting to boast, "Madam, you have excellent taste! These cosmetics are all high-quality, every single one of them is—"

"I'll pay you three times the price and throw away everything you're holding in your bag."
