[Oh my, the Crown Prince's time was quite short, was it over already?]
Xiao Chuchu finally managed to break free from Xiao Yunzhou's grasp and covered her eyes as she looked.
[Did it even last half an incense stick? The Crown Prince isn't much of a top, is he?]
[Oh boy, they're getting all cozy now. Goodness, this fair-faced eunuch is a bold one, he's starting to compete for favor.]
[Someone needs to make a schedule for the Crown Prince!]
Xiao Yunzhou cleared his throat softly, secretly pricking up his ears.
"Brother Xiao, what master fortune-teller are you talking about?" Princess Yunwu raised an eyebrow.
Xiao Yunzhou almost made a shushing gesture at her but managed to hold back.
Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Chuchu's inner thoughts indeed moved on to even more explosive matters!
[This eunuch is acting coy with the Crown Prince. My goodness, he says once every four days is too infrequent for him.]
[He says he's lonely in bed every afternoon, and wishes the Crown Prince would keep him company daily, instead of spending time with Mr. Qiu tomorrow, Mr. Liu the day after, and others on subsequent days...]
[Oh my! The Crown Prince has four partners, taking turns daily without a break?]
Xiao Chuchu couldn't help but admire the Crown Prince's stamina.
[No wonder he needs to take supplements. How could he keep up otherwise?]
Xiao Yunzhou's mouth twitched. His daughter's thoughts were so vulgar...
[Oh! So the Crown Prince follows a four-on, three-off schedule!]
[Every seven days, he spends one day copying scriptures and doesn't 'drive', another day he meets with the Grand Tutor and can't 'drive' for fear of being caught, and on another day he has lunch with the King of Chu and doesn't 'drive' either.]
[I see,] Xiao Chuchu, secretly watching the live broadcast of the Crown Prince of Chu's intimate moments with the little eunuch, quickly figured out the Crown Prince's regular 'routine'. [Who needs spies or evidence now?]
[The Crown Prince is more punctual than a rooster at dawn~]
[Four times every seven days, always after lunch.]
[Oh my, the Crown Prince has rested and is ready for round two?]
Xiao Yunzhou's eyes widened.
Xiao Chuchu couldn't help but cover her eyes. [Heavens, he opened another secret compartment behind the painting on the bedroom wall. More 'aids'? Oh no, he's using a toy to...]
"Cough, cough, cough—" Xiao Yunzhou nearly spat out his tea.
[Damn, my eyes... Thank goodness the system blurred it out in time.]
[Oh no, I hope my livestream doesn't get shut down!]
Xiao Chuchu didn't dare to keep watching.
It wasn't until an incense stick later that she noticed the Crown Prince of Chu had fallen asleep, panting heavily, and the eunuch had cleaned up everything and left.
[Even the Crown Prince of Chu has his male pride!]
[No matter what, he has to tough it out for half an hour! He'd be too embarrassed if it didn't last at least one incense stick!]
Xiao Yunzhou held his head in his hands.
This information about the Crown Prince was indeed detailed!
[Just now, that pretty eunuch also advised the Crown Prince to suggest to the King of Chu that our Jing Country's special gathering should be pushed back 500 paces!]
[And to decree that all Chu people are forbidden from sneaking over to participate, or they'll be imprisoned if caught!]
[Well, well, isn't he quite the warmonger?]
Xiao Chuchu caught this crucial bit of information before it ended.
The Crown Prince and the eunuch had both started their afternoon nap.
Xiao Yunzhou's eyes were complex and cold.
This Crown Prince of Chu must absolutely not ascend to the throne!
Otherwise, how would he handle his precious daughter secretly watching these improper scenes of the Crown Prince of Chu in her free time?
This fool would corrupt his darling daughter!
Xiao Yunzhou took a deep breath and quickly stood up. Facing a bewildered Princess Yunwu, he said, "You rest here for a moment. I'm going to consult the master for a divination."
Princess Yunwu's mouth twitched. She didn't believe in the supernatural at all.
In the past, she had prayed countless times before Buddha, hoping her younger brother, the Crown Prince, would have an epiphany. If only he would be more diligent and willing to learn about governance, she could turn a blind eye to his preference for men.
But praying and worshipping had been useless.
Now, Princess Yunwu knew that actions spoke louder than words!
However, it took only the time of one incense stick before Xiao Yunzhou returned with three silk pouches.
"Princess Yunwu, open these on your way back."
"What you wish to know is inside these pouches."
"Also, leave behind someone who can contact you. If anything changes, I'll send my secret guards to inform you," Xiao Yunzhou said.
Princess Yunwu was skeptical but looked towards Liu Chaniang.
Liu Chaniang, who had heard the girl's thoughts, had barely managed to suppress her blushing. Now she could only pat Princess Yunwu's hand and say, "Yunwu, take care and be cautious."
Princess Yunwu was reluctant but finally nodded and strode away!
There were still many interesting things at Jing Country's special gathering, but she had no time to linger. She left two guards to collect various novelties, then boarded the carriage back to the capital of Chu with her two children.
In the carriage, Yunwu was busy comforting her children whom she hadn't seen for half a day and didn't have time to open the pouches.
She didn't really believe in these pouches anyway.
It wasn't until she returned to her princess mansion, exchanged a few words with her consort, and after he left, that Yunwu finally washed up, lay down, and leisurely opened the pouches.
As soon as she opened the first one and saw the note inside, she immediately sat up straight!
—Starting today, for four consecutive days, at noon, four-on, three-off!
—Lasts for one incense stick, then ends.
Yunwu's eyes widened in an instant.
What was this about four-on, three-off?
'Princess Yunwu, if you wish to know the goings-on at the Crown Prince's Mansion, you might want to pray to the heavens.'
'What you wish to know is inside these pouches.'
The thing she wanted to know... was none other than the times when her good-for-nothing younger brother, the Crown Prince, was engaging in his debauchery!
She wanted her father, the King, to catch him in the act.
As Yunwu thought of this, she suddenly stood up, staring in shock at the note in the pouch.
At noon, for four consecutive days... Was this about the Crown Prince's Mansion? Was this about the Crown Prince's times of debauchery?
How did this pouch know?
Did Jing Country really have such a skilled fortune-teller?
Or did the Emperor of Jing Country have spies even in her Chu royal palace?
No, impossible!
Even she, a princess, couldn't monitor the Crown Prince, how could Jing Country?
Yunwu's heart was shaken. If the note was true, Jing Country was not to be underestimated!
"Come here!" Yunwu suddenly walked to the center of the room. "Prepare the ink for me!"
*
[My old man really didn't waste his time cultivating the Dao, he actually knows a master fortune-teller.]
Xiao Chuchu clicked her tongue in admiration.
They were temporarily staying at the prefect's mansion. She had just been placed on the bed by Liu Chaniang and started praising her father.
[Yunwu is already on her way to the palace, hehe.]
[There's going to be a good show to watch again today. System, give me access to the live broadcast of the Chu royal palace.]
Xiao Yunzhou couldn't help but grin.
Indeed, his cultivation and meditation hadn't been in vain.
Isn't this heaven's gift to him, a little princess bringing good fortune?
Chuchu was his prodigy, the fairy of his Jing Country!
Xiao Yunzhou felt smug, but then became anxious, knowing his daughter's inner thoughts today would surely be exciting.
"Chaniang, go out and enjoy yourself today. I'm tired, so I'll stay here with Chuchu and review some documents."
Liu Chaniang: "..." He just wanted to stay and watch the show!
But just as she was about to object, she heard Xiao Chuchu's excited inner voice begin.
[Oh my, Princess Yunwu has come directly to the door of the imperial study.]
[Well, well, let's see if I can eavesdrop on the King of Chu handling state affairs...]
Xiao Yunzhou and Liu Chaniang instantly forgot to breathe.
[Oh no, the system says it involves state secrets from various countries. It'll cost me 100,000 points for just half an incense stick's worth of time.]
[Damn it! So expensive!] Xiao Chuchu chose to give up and let it go.
Xiao Yunzhou sighed with disappointment.
But he also breathed a sigh of relief, as this seemed reasonable.
Otherwise, if all state secrets were at their fingertips, it would go against the will of heaven, and sooner or later, the little princess's good fortune would be taken back.
As her father, he didn't want anything that would cost his little princess such a great price!
Xiao Yunzhou calmed himself, and soon welcomed today's main event.
[Oh, Princess Yunwu said she brought a gift from a special gathering for her little brother, the Crown Prince!]
[She's inviting the King of Chu to go with her to see the Crown Prince.]
Xiao Yunzhou turned to look at the sun outside.
It was almost noon!
His eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.
