Transmigrated as the Villainess, Troubled by the Cuteness!-Chapter 176 - 148: Why Not Ask About Your Fish Soup

Shen Jingxian saw a mischievous smile on the Empress’s face at that moment.

It was obvious, standing before her were two bowls of chicken soup, certainly one made by Wen Ranchen and the other by Fu Xuan. No matter which one she picked, there would be trouble.

Shen Jingxian was well aware of her situation. The three people present were all influential figures, and she knew she couldn’t outwit any of them, so she chose to...

"I don’t love chicken soup."

When faced with difficulties, don’t be afraid, but bravely give up on them.

"Mother, I want fish soup."

The Princess, with her hair down, leaned softly against the bed. She opened her innocent eyes, and as she spoke to the Empress, she couldn’t help but act coyly, puffing up her little face like a hamster that had stolen some pine nuts.

So... so cute!

Fu Xuan turned his head in a fluster, calming the flutter in his heart. He couldn’t understand why the same face could evoke such different charms.

Silly, adorable, glamorous, sexy...

Fu Xuan dared not think more, for every time he did, his affection for his sister deepened!

Wen Ranchen didn’t shy away like Fu Xuan. He gazed at Shen Jingxian, as if he could never see enough. Occasionally catching Shen Jingxian’s eye, he would awkwardly shift his gaze.

Fortunately, Shen Jingxian didn’t have the time to bother with his little gestures at the moment.

"Mother, I don’t want chicken soup! I want fish soup! Just the broth, no fish!"

To avoid reality, Shen Jingxian adopted a stance of throwing a tantrum, knowing there was no need to maintain her image in front of those present, thus revealing her true nature and starting to make unreasonable demands.

It was the first time Fu Xuan heard the Princess’s spoiled manner, and while he found it intriguing, he also felt shy.

Wen Ranchen couldn’t help but recall how the Princess used to shake his hand and be playful like this in childhood.

"Brother Chen, teach me to write, your handwriting is pretty."

"Brother Chen, I want to hear what you learned today, read it to me."

"Brother Chen, I’m sleepy, tell me a story, well... like the one about the Empress’s battle against the white lotus flower last time."

Wen Ranchen subconsciously replaced the term the Princess used to refer to herself in his memories, turning her words into...

"Brother Chen, teach me to write~"

Oh no...

Wen Ranchen realized that this was something he shouldn’t think about, his face turned red, so red that even his inner strength couldn’t suppress it.

Wen Ranchen instinctively didn’t want the Princess to see him in such an embarrassed state. If the Princess knew what irreverent thoughts he had just entertained, she would likely distance herself from him.

Wen Ranchen immediately turned around, facing away from the three people, and said, "Ranchen will go make fish soup for the Princess now."

The Empress’s face immediately lit up with a smile. Wen Ranchen, like when he was a child, knew how to act appropriately, a child worth teaching.

Moreover, Fu Xuan was still being shy, evidently still a child.

Typically, at this moment, parents would prefer the more sensible Wen Ranchen, but the Empress’s thoughts were different from most people’s.

She constantly compared Fu Xuan and Wen Ranchen in her mind, and ultimately found Wen Ranchen too composed.

No matter what kind of man, in front of the woman he likes, he should turn into a child, like Fu Xuan, flustered and longing to get closer, rather than being as poised as Wen Ranchen...

The Empress never doubted Wen Ranchen’s feelings, but now she wondered if he might be a bit abnormal.

She glanced again at her daughter, who was still innocently acting cute, and didn’t expect anything insightful from Shen Jingxian’s newly awakened mind.

Shen Jingxian breathed a quiet sigh of relief seeing one person leave.

She glanced at Fu Xuan, about to send him off too, but unexpectedly, Fu Xuan approached her with a bowl of chicken soup.

Of course, Fu Xuan only dared to do this after receiving the Empress’s approval.

"Elder Princess, won’t you try some of this chicken soup? Fu Xuan spent a long time preparing it, skimming off all the oil, it’s not greasy at all."

Fu Xuan scooped a spoonful of chicken soup with a spoon and brought it to Shen Jingxian’s mouth, intending to feed her.

It’s been a while since Fu Xuan last addressed her as Elder Princess.

The scene of Shen Jingxian’s first meeting with Fu Xuan came to her mind. He had been sobbing, gasping for breath on the ground, but stood up and politely greeted her as Elder Sister upon seeing her.

Ah, little Fu Xuan was really adorable back then, and she even gave him candy.

However, after so many years, hearing Fu Xuan call her that again felt a bit... awkward?

The eight honors and eight disgraces suddenly emerged in Shen Jingxian’s mind. She silently recited them, tactically retreating to evade Fu Xuan’s chicken soup assault, "Men and women should not touch hands when giving or receiving. You may not feed me!"
