"Brother Crown Prince, will they start a new life?" Fang Ruotang tugged at the Crown Prince's sleeve, looking at him expectantly.

Behind the two women were a group of suffering women kneeling on the ground, expressing their gratitude to her.

"Yes, whatever you want to do, your Crown Prince brother will help you accomplish it."

"You're so kind, Crown Prince!"

Fang Ruotang giggled and gave a sweet smile.

"You're so kind, Crown Prince!" the young prince said in a strange, sarcastic tone, like a vengeful spirit.

Fang Ruotang frowned, puzzled: "Why are you mimicking my speech?"

The young prince crossed his arms and grinned mischievously, saying, "Oh, so your neck isn't twisted after all, you can look this way!"

Fang Ruotang glared at the young prince.

Why do you look like you've just had a firecracker explode?

"Because it's sour!"

"Did you just sneak some food?"

Fang Ruotang looked the young prince up and down in surprise, unable to believe that this person would eat alone.

The young prince's expression was twisted and complex.

The crown prince glanced at him dismissively.

"You just let her go hungry and have to put up with your tantrums all day?"

"I, she..."

The young prince was speechless with grievances.

Who is accompanying whom?

If it weren't for Fang Ruotang's request, he would have found these brothel women disgusting to even glance at them.

He will not understand these people, much less change his opinion of them.

Regardless of these women's current mindset, at least initially none of them were willingly depraved; they were all pitiful people who had no choice in the situation.

"Hey, what did you eat? How sour is it? Let me have a taste."

Fang Ruotang barely ate a single grain of rice all day.

When I'm busy, I don't notice it, but now that I'm free, all I can think about is eating, and I feel really sluggish.

The prince took out an oil paper package from his sleeve.

"These are some new pastries that were just made in the palace. Would you like to try them? Do you like them?"

"Brother Crown Prince, you are my god!"

Fang Ruotang accepted it with both hands, looking at the Crown Prince with admiration.

She turned to face the young prince and immediately put on a sullen expression.

"Unlike some people, who eat alone and are really stingy."

Young Prince: ……

I finally understand what the saying "A fool is more terrifying than a bad person" means.

It's not the cunning of bad people that's scary, it's the sudden inspiration of fools.

At that moment, he expressed his strong approval.

At least the bad guy couldn't have his heart shattered with just a single sentence.

"Tell me, is it possible that I felt sour just now because I was jealous? You trust and rely on the Crown Prince more than I do? Besides, I've been under your watchful eye all day, how could I possibly steal food? And if I had food, I would definitely give it to you first."

The young prince sighed, rubbing his forehead.

He always felt out of place among the royals, after all, he was straightforward and frank, unlike the Crown Prince and the others, whose words might have eighteen hidden meanings.

Now, when speaking to Fang Ruotang, he used to be too reserved in his words.

This is not good, it needs to be changed!

"Oh, I see!" Fang Ruotang suddenly realized, and happily shared the pastries brought by the Crown Prince with the young prince.

“Let’s eat together. My brother, the Crown Prince, brought this especially for me. It must be very sweet.”

The young prince silently ate a piece.

Not sweet!

It's both sour and bitter!

Fang Ruotang's face was bright and clear.

"So sweet and delicious! Brother Crown Prince, you're so kind, I want to eat it again next time."

"Okay, I'll have a palace maid deliver it to you tomorrow."

The Crown Prince raised his hand and wiped away the crumbs from the corner of Fang Ruotang's mouth.

Fang Ruotang obediently raised her little face, letting the Crown Prince take care of her.

The prince put the residue from his finger into his mouth.

Fang Ruotang immediately took a piece and raised her hand to feed him.

"Brother Crown Prince, eat."

The Crown Prince took a bite, and seeing the young prince looking at him jealously, he deliberately pushed the pastry he had bitten towards Fang Ruotang's mouth.

“Your Highness isn’t hungry, you eat.”

Fang Ruotang looked at the pastry with a missing corner and still damp around it, hesitated for only a moment, and then threw the whole thing into her mouth.

Anyway, they've been in a relationship before.

There's nothing wrong with sharing a piece of pastry.

She didn't look down on him.

Fang Ruotang stuffed her mouth full, her cheeks puffing out as she bit them.

The young prince's heart shattered into pieces.

The three of them went to a restaurant and ordered a huge table full of food.

The young prince, unwilling to give up, said, "Your Highness is busy with state affairs and doesn't need to accompany us. Go ahead and attend to your work!"

"It's alright, there's still time for a meal," the Crown Prince replied without looking up, as his subordinates diligently removed fish bones from Fang Ruotang's plate.

Fang Ruotang looked at the young prince with a puzzled expression.

"How can your uncle be so heartless? He won't let the Crown Prince have a proper meal at this hour, and he still has to make him go to work. Haven't you seen how dark circles have appeared under his eyes lately? He's so tired!"

The young prince gritted his teeth: "When I'm talking to the Crown Prince, can you stay silent?"

Opening her mouth was a devastating blow to him!

Fang Ruotang angrily slammed her chopsticks on the table.

“Brother Crown Prince, look at him! He looks down on me and won’t let me speak. You beat him up!”

Young Prince: ……

He slapped himself twice.

"I had a bad mouth, I said the wrong thing."

Fang Ruotang's eyes widened in shock... How sudden!

She mumbled, "Okay! I'll forgive you this time, but you can't say that to me again next time."

"Okay, I was wrong!"

The young prince slid to his knees.

He had just decided to speak more directly, and now he's made another mistake.

That's exactly his problem.

Next time something like this happens, he should tell Fang Ruotang not to speak up for the Crown Prince, instead of telling her to stay silent.
