"Ignore him, eat your food, and I'll take you home after you finish." The Crown Prince pinched Fang Ruotang's chin and turned her face towards him.

"I'm a perfectly healthy person right here!" A cold smile appeared on the young prince's face, his pent-up discontent on the verge of exploding.

Think of his first twenty years, how carefree and unrestrained he was. But that scoundrel Crown Prince, as the heir apparent, it was his duty to be busy with national affairs, but what did he do? He was busy with his own affairs, yet he still had to scheme against his love rival.

He was sent to investigate those corrupt officials, but fortunately he remained in the capital. The others fared even worse, as they were all assigned by the Crown Prince to go to the capital.

What a brother! He turned his back on his friends for a woman.

When Prince An left, his gentle, smooth demeanor almost crumbled.

The only one who wasn't forced to work like a workhorse was Prince Rong, but even he received some pointers from the Crown Prince when he went to the Prime Minister's residence to break off his engagement.

If Prince Rong hadn't stopped leaving the manor after that, he felt that Prince Rong wouldn't have been able to escape the fate of being assigned tasks by the Crown Prince.

"This new grain..."

"No, don't even think about enslaving me. I'm telling you, if you keep doing this, I'll turn on you, and we won't even be brothers anymore."

"What are you saying, little royal uncle?"

The Crown Prince calmly picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and placed it in Fang Ruotang's bowl, gesturing to the little girl who was watching the show with her bright, sparkling eyes, "Don't just watch, eat too."

Fang Ruotang took a bite and then watched the two of them argue.

It's pretty fun.

The crown prince remained unmoved, while the young prince was like a chicken with its feathers standing on end.

"Anyway, I don't care. I'm just a lazy person. I don't do any work."

"I thought, well, if you don't want to help Ruoruo, I won't make things difficult for you." The Crown Prince's hesitant manner seemed too fake.

The young prince didn't want to be fooled, but Fang Ruotang next to him was unhappy.

"Didn't you say you wanted to be friends with me and that I could come to you if I needed anything? Were you lying to me?"

The crown prince lowered his eyes, a smile flashing within them.

The new grain harvest is of great importance. In the past, he would have definitely taken charge of it personally, but now he prefers to sit in the capital and oversee the overall situation.

The young prince paused for a moment, then explained, "No, you don't know, the Crown Prince deliberately transferred several of us out of the capital. These things could have been done by other people."

“The new grain is very important. The Crown Prince trusts you, which is why he sent you.” Fang Ruotang looked at the young prince disapprovingly.

How could the shrewd and calculating Crown Prince not have thought of such a thing? He even deliberately guided Fang Ruotang to take the initiative to suggest that these people go on a mission.

After all, Fang Ruotang didn't know many officials, and she trusted even fewer. Unless Xiao Jingzi offered a list, she could only name a few of them.

With a few suggestive words from the Crown Prince, Fang Ruotang would naturally fall into his trap.

Moreover, with Xiao Jingzi's endorsement, Fang Ruotang considered these six people to be the most powerful.

"If the faith of the people is needed, in addition to ensuring the new grain is delivered, we also need to spread her good name along the way. I am not comfortable letting others do this. If you are unwilling, I will think of another way."

The Crown Prince's indifferent voice rang out at just the right moment.

Fang Ruotang puffed out her cheeks and glared angrily at the young prince.

What kind of person is he?

Lie to her.

A few days ago, when the Crown Prince was busy and away, he sneaked up to her and said he could play with her. He could do the same things the Crown Prince could do for her, but not now.

The young prince took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and gave the crown prince a sarcastic smile, "You win."

Then, as if changing his expression, he said to Fang Ruotang in a flattering tone, "I didn't know this matter concerned you. If I had known, I would have gone through fire and water for you."

Fang Ruotang opened her clear, big eyes and asked, "Really?"

"real."

Are you going?

"go!"

The young prince gritted his teeth and forced a smile.

Fang Ruotang was delighted and smiled at the young prince, saying, "Little Mirror said that this power of faith is of great help to the repair of my soul."

"Didn't I tell you that my soul is incomplete, which is why I'm not as smart as you? Once my soul is restored, I'll be even more powerful than you."

Fang Ruotang raised her chin, her face full of pride.

Upon hearing that this was truly important, the young prince suppressed his resentment and solemnly said, "I will handle this matter well. You can tell me the details later."

The first sentence was directed at Fang Ruotang, and the second sentence was directed at the Crown Prince.

The crown prince nodded slightly in response.

When he heard Fang Ruotang's words in the palace, he thought of entrusting this matter to the young prince and the young master Rong, and that he was afraid that others would not be attentive enough.

Some things, wise people don't need to explain.

Having experienced the emotional turmoil of the last time, aside from General Huo whom they haven't met yet and whose situation is unknown, everyone else they met in the capital must be of one mind and hoping for Fang Ruotang's well-being; they certainly wouldn't do anything to harm her.

On the way back to the mansion with the Crown Prince and the Prince, Fang Ruotang skipped and hopped ahead like a young lady, glancing at every stall.

While the Crown Prince and the Young Prince kept their eyes fixed on Fang Ruotang, the Young Prince did not forget to unilaterally denounce the Crown Prince as inhuman.

The crown prince glanced at him indifferently, "Noisy."

Although the young prince was already used to the crown prince's bad temper, he was still amused by it.

"If you're so capable, why don't you just leave the job to me?"

"Can."

The young prince raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Okay, you go and tell Ruoruo yourself."

"You..." The young prince pointed at the crown prince, tilted his head and gritted his teeth for a long time, then snorted angrily, "Fine, I won't argue with you."

The crown prince raised an eyebrow and scoffed.
