Chapter 447 Xiaojiu

"Donggui, have you noticed that someone seems to be staring at me recently?" Xiao Jiuyue went out to see how the dam was being repaired. As soon as she went out, she found that it seemed like a pair of eyes were staring at her.

"Yes, the second prince's people." Dong Gui had discovered it a long time ago, but the other party did not take any action, so she did not tell Xiao Jiuyue.

"Why is he staring at me? Is he worried that Dad won't pay enough attention to the levee?"

Xiao Jiuyue muttered to herself without giving it much thought. She said, "Donggui, don't worry about it."

Xiao Jiuyue decided that she would follow her father everywhere from now on, no matter what the second prince was planning.

The Jinjiang River dike, after its collapse, is now at a time when there is less water. Xiao Fu is directing the diversion of water flow. When the flood season comes, the flood will be diverted and the pressure on the dike will be much less.

"Master Xiao."

Xiao Fu looked at the Second Prince, who had been enjoying himself and rarely came over, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness." When it came to etiquette, Xiao Fu would never allow anyone to catch him.

"Lord Xiao, there's no need to be so polite. I just came to take a look today." The Second Prince's eyes scanned the dike. This was his first time to visit the dike in all the time he had been in Xiangcheng. He raised his hand and said, "Changfeng, pass on the food I brought."

"Today I specially invited all the chefs from several restaurants in the city to come here and treat these working people to a good meal." The second prince thought, his mother asked him to win people's hearts and pay more attention to the dam construction. He treated everyone to something good, right?

"Your Highness is so thoughtful." Xiao Fu bowed. When he looked at the pork being carried in, the corners of his mouth twitched. It was either pig's head or pig's offal. He said tactfully, "Your Highness, why are these all pig's offal?"

"Why is it just pig offal? Isn't this pig head meat?" The Second Prince pointed at several large pig heads nearby and said, "Master Xiao, it's rare for the people to eat meat. If these are cooked well, they will be good things too."

"Why, Lord Xiao, do you think these things are not good?" The second prince raised his eyebrows. Of course, all the high-quality pork went into his stomach, and the rest belonged to the people.

But they are all untouchables.

"Okay." Xiao Fu looked at the pig heads and offal and said, "The chefs in the prefecture city should be able to cook these offal well."

"If they can't do it well, they will all be sent back for retraining." The Second Prince said, looking at the disguised Xiao Jiuyue behind Xiao Fu and said, "The servant next to Master Xiao is quite fair-skinned and doesn't look like a laborer."

Xiao Fu stepped forward and changed the subject, saying, "Your Highness, I heard there's a dish called Nine-Turn Intestines, stir-fried large intestines, which is very suitable for pig offal. I wonder if the chef can make it?"

"Lord Xiao." The second prince frowned. Who cares whether this dish is easy to cook or not.

Xiao Fu said, "Xiao Jiu, go and tell the cooks that these pig offal must be cooked properly. If it doesn't taste good, they will be held accountable."

After saying this, Xiao Fu looked at the Second Prince and said, "Your Highness, take a look at how the dike here is going. If we can transfer another 500 people, we will definitely be able to finish the dike sooner and return to Shengjing sooner."

The second prince looked back at Xiaojiu. When he got closer, he realized that although Xiaojiu's facial features were only delicate, her eyes made people take a second look.

"Your Highness?" Xiao Fu asked, "Can you send another 500 men?"

The Second Prince did not think about Xiao Jiu anymore, but replied: "Master Xiao will make the decision on this matter."

Until lunch time, the second prince did not see Xiaojiu again.

Under Xiao Jiuyue's guidance, pig heads and offal soon became delicacies.

Xiao Jiuyue also mixed fresh pig blood with tofu to make pig blood and tofu soup. When the people knew that it was sent by the Second Prince, they all thought that the Second Prince was too stingy and was reluctant to give away pork?

Soon, when everyone was eating the delicious pig offal, they changed their minds.

"The chef's skills are great. Such a disgusting pig intestine has become a delicacy in the chef's hands!" Zhu Jiuliu ate the stir-fried pig intestine and secretly told what Xiao Jiuyue had told him.

"That's right. Luckily this chef is from the capital, otherwise, how could we eat these pig offal?"

"We are just ordinary people. How can we deserve to eat the pork sent by the prince?"

"It's good to have something to eat."

“…”

The second prince gave meat to everyone with the intention of winning people's hearts, but the second prince looked down on those common people and directly gave them pig offal. After Xiao Jiuyue's operation, the second prince's attempt to show goodwill was completely unsuccessful. By the time the second prince knew about it, it was already too late to change it.

"Untouchables."

When the Second Prince heard the rumor, he smashed everything in the house and said, "What's the point of me keeping you? You're a bunch of good-for-nothings!"

The Second Prince was furious, and everyone was silent, no one daring to raise an eyebrow. Minister Du rolled his eyes and said, "Your Highness, it can still be salvaged. You ordered the prefect to do this, but who knew he would misunderstand? You can now send some pork to everyone!"

"Hmph, if you have a way, why don't you do it?" The second prince glanced at him and turned back to his room. The beauty in the room was no longer dressed in blue as last time, but in green. She was wearing emerald green clothes and her skin was as white as snow.

The second prince got up from the green-clothed woman in the arms of a gentle woman, his face cold.

"Your Highness." Lu Yi looked at the Second Prince tremblingly. Even though he was lying on the bed, the Second Prince had a smile on his lips, but the smile was not reflected in his eyes. Lu Yi was extremely scared.

"What are you afraid of?" The Second Prince looked at the trembling Lu Yi with heavy eyes. "Come here, bring the contraceptive medicine and send the person away."

Playing aside, the second prince still attached great importance to his offspring. If his father knew that a brothel girl was pregnant with the royal heir, he would probably break his legs.

"Your Highness." Chang Feng took care of Lu Yi and then asked carefully, "How about I find some young and beautiful girls for Your Highness?"

"No need." The second prince frowned and waved to Changfeng.

Changfeng approached hesitantly with a flattering smile on his face.

"Changfeng, what's that smell on you? Whoosh." The second prince kicked him in disgust.

Chang Feng quickly got up and said with a smile, "Your Highness, I am a man and my clothes are not scented, so naturally they are not as fragrant as yours."

The Second Prince looked at Changfeng with disdain. He stood up and said, "Take a bath and change clothes."

He closed his eyes and let Changfeng put his clothes on. He must have been unwell recently. Even though he had a beautiful woman in his arms, he kept thinking of the servant named 'Xiao Jiu' who was beside Lord Xiao.

"Your Highness, is there something urgent? Why are you here so late at night?" Xiao Fu saluted while muttering, wondering if the Second Prince was ill. If he didn't have a beautiful woman in his arms, why would he come to him in the middle of the night?
