Brother Yichen is a Bit of a Scoundrel, System's New Feature!

Zhu Zhuyun sighed and cast him a sidelong glance with her beautiful eyes. "You don't need to say that specifically. I've never seen many royal children who had only one partner by their side."

Zhu Zhuyun paused before continuing, "Still, I'm quite surprised you said it so directly. I used to think you weren't interested in women." She teased him lightly.

Dai Yichen: ...

"Big Sister Zhuyun, what did I do to give you that misunderstanding? No matter what, I'm still a man, okay?"

Zhu Zhuyun smiled. "Can't be helped. I've never seen any other girls around you besides Zhuqing, and right now, you only see Zhuqing as a younger sister without those kinds of thoughts, don't you?"

Dai Yichen shot a strange look at Zhu Zhuqing, who had lowered her head and remained silent, before quietly saying, "Big Sister Zhuyun, is that really something we can say?"

"Go ahead. Zhuqing may still be young, but she's a member of the Zhu Family. Even if the family didn't deliberately teach her about such things, she's seen plenty."

Since Zhu Zhuyun had said so, Dai Yichen answered with complete sincerity and directness. "Big Sister Zhuyun, then I'll be frank. I'm still young right now, and I think those kinds of things should wait until adulthood. Before then, I should focus on cultivation and spending time together normally."

Dai Yichen paused slightly, blinked at Zhu Zhuyun, and smiled for no apparent reason. "Besides, who said there aren't any other girls around me besides Zhuqing? Aren't you one too, Big Sister Zhuyun?"

"Alright, we've more or less finished eating. Let's take a stroll around the Imperial Garden." Dai Yichen did not pursue the topic any further. That was enough.

He then stood up and walked outside first, giving the two sisters a brief moment to process things.

As Zhu Zhuyun met Dai Yichen's somewhat profound gaze, her heart gave a small jolt. What had he meant by that just now?

Zhu Zhuyun shook her head, casting aside the unpleasant thoughts that had arisen in her mind. Then she nudged Zhu Zhuqing beside her. "Little Sister, let's go. What do you think about what Younger Brother Yichen said just now?"

Zhu Zhuyun was actually rather curious about her younger sister's thoughts.

She had not expected Dai Yichen to take advantage of the topic she had raised and directly reveal his truest thoughts. She had always thought the royal family had produced a rare pure-hearted exception, but unexpectedly, he was still a romantic at heart.

By voicing his thoughts without hesitation today, he was probably trying to let Zhuqing understand what was in his heart before their relationship progressed any further, so as to prevent emotional entanglements later on?

A one-year buffer period. After one year, whether Zhuqing chose Dai Mubai or Dai Yichen—or chose neither—would all be up to her.

In Zhu Zhuyun's eyes, Dai Yichen's approach was sincere, yet also somewhat blunt. Or perhaps it was simply heartless?

Zhu Zhuqing puffed out her cheeks and said softly, "Brother Yichen is really a little rogue."

Zhu Zhuyun: ???

What did her younger sister mean by that? Why did she not quite understand?

But Zhu Zhuqing did not explain. She simply took Zhu Zhuyun's hand and pulled her outside.

This was the first time she could not see through her younger sister's thoughts.

In the Imperial Garden.

Watching the two girls from the Zhu Family laugh and play amid such a beautiful flowerbed, Dai Yichen could not help thinking that it would be nice if this world had phones—no, even just a camera. Then he could preserve such a beautiful scene.

Ding. In response to the host's request, the Diary System has unlocked photography and video recording functions. After the host takes photos or records videos, there is also a small chance of obtaining points. However, please remember not to attempt meaningless photography or video recording solely to earn points. Finally, the system retains final interpretation rights.

Dai Yichen: ...

Forget it. Dai Yichen felt too powerless to complain. With a thought, several beautiful pictures of Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun were recorded.

Perhaps once his Mental Power became strong enough, he could imprint these photographs as keepsakes. Wouldn't that be more beautiful and realistic than copying a painting?

After testing the photography function, Dai Yichen also activated video recording. It looked no different from the camera function on phones from his previous life.

The only difference was that phones from his previous life had beauty filters, while the system's video recording function did not. Yet that only made it appear more real and beautiful.

The instant Dai Yichen started recording, Diary Copies automatically appeared before all the heroines, displaying the scene Dai Yichen was currently recording.

The two girls from the Zhu Family: ??? Weren't the two people in this image them?

The Diary System has unlocked a new video recording function. Whenever the host records a video, everyone with a Diary Copy will watch it in full and receive one random reward, distributed together with the other rewards.

Holy crap!

Upon seeing this message, all the women were stunned. Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun, who were in the recording, were somewhat embarrassed instead. He was filming them. Fortunately, they had the acting skills the system had given them before, so they would not reveal any flaws.

Zhu Zhuyun guessed inwardly that there seemed to be quite a few people with Diary Copies, and some of them might be people Younger Brother Yichen would not even be able to meet over the next few years. That was why the system had come up with this—was it trying to spread the favor around?

To be fairer to those Diary Copy holders who were elsewhere?

Still, this was a good thing for her. Due to her status as Dai Weisi's fiancée, it was impossible for her to have too much private contact with Dai Yichen. And when she was with Zhuqing, most of the topics in Dai Yichen's diary concerned Zhuqing, so her chances of receiving rewards were actually rather low.

In the Imperial Study.

"You're saying that the Third Prince and Fourth Prince clashed on the way to the Imperial Kitchen today? They summoned their martial souls and fought, with the Fourth Prince winning completely and the Third Prince suffering serious injuries?" Dai Yutian's tone did not ripple in the slightest.

The imperial physician replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty. After treatment, the Third Prince is already able to get out of bed and move about normally. However, the broken ribs in his body have only just been reconnected, so he should not engage in any intense activity for the time being."

"Understood. You may leave."

After the imperial physician departed, Dai Yutian finally revealed a faint smile. His fourth son had given him another surprise. In his very first battle, he had actually managed to defeat Mubai. He wondered just how strong the boy had become now.

Dai Yutian's fingers tapped continuously against the tabletop. Before long, news of Dai Mubai's defeat at Dai Yichen's hands would probably spread throughout the entire palace. He wondered how Dai Weisi and Dai Yuxuan, the Second Prince, would react.

If Dai Yichen could defeat Dai Weisi within the next few years, then there would be no need to wait until he turned twelve to make changes!
