What is this? A bad joke?

Seeing Luo Jiaxing finally unable to hold back his laughter, and Xiao Mingzheng who had a faint smile on his face until now, Zhong Min finally understood that Xiao Mingzheng also had the same sense of humor as a normal person. For Prince Mu, who had never let her see a real smile in such a long time, today could be considered a major breakthrough in his image.

"Haha, Your Highness is really humorous." She laughed dryly and said truthfully, "That's my level. Your Highness, just make do with it. Anyway, as long as you can understand it, that's all."

"I'm not kidding. They say that a person's character is revealed by his handwriting. This handwriting is really unsightly." Xiao Mingzheng said bluntly, with a matter-of-fact look, without considering whether it would hurt Zhong Min's self-esteem.

Although Zhong Min was not a fragile person, she didn't know how to respond after hearing what Xiao Mingzheng said. She couldn't figure out what Xiao Mingzheng meant for a while. Could it be that he couldn't do anything about her poor handwriting? Then this prince must be too bored.

"In my opinion, you should practice your handwriting when you have time. This handwriting is indeed a little too... that." Luo Jiaxing on the side finally kindly reminded him. Zhong Min is usually very smart, but why did she suddenly become slow this time and didn't even respond to the prince's words.

After hearing what Luo Jiaxing said, Zhong Min found that he was right. However, she really didn't want to practice calligraphy. With that kind of time and effort, she might as well read a few more books or get more sleep.

"I've never thought of becoming a calligrapher." She expressed her true feelings somewhat awkwardly. If she didn't want to practice, she didn't want to practice. Why should she be at the mercy of others even for such a thing? It was really boring.

Hearing Zhong Min's answer, Luo Jiaxing couldn't help but secretly worry for this girl. Did she really not understand or was she pretending not to understand? The prince always had a cold temperament and would never say a word to anyone he was not particularly familiar with or respected.

Today, the prince not only showed a seldom-seen smile, but also took the initiative to remind Zhong Min to improve her handwriting. This fully demonstrated that the prince was very positive and appreciative after reading Zhong Min's works, but this girl didn't appreciate it at all. She really has a unique personality.

"Then do your duty as a personal maid!" Xiao Mingzheng didn't seem angry. He stood up while speaking and turned to the slightly nervous Luo Jiaxing and said, "There's nothing else to do today. Jiaxing, go back and take care of other important matters."

"Yes!" Luo Jiaxing naturally accepted the order upon seeing this, and then quietly glanced at Zhong Min beside him, and continued: "I will take my leave first!" After that, he bowed slightly, then left the yard first and went out of the house to do his own thing.

"Let's go. I hope your performance as a personal maid is no worse than your handwriting." After Luo Jiaxing left, Xiao Mingzheng said this to Zhong Min who was standing there motionless, and then strode out of the yard.

Zhong Min was stunned for a moment, unsure if she had just seen clearly or was hallucinating. Did Xiao Mingzheng just smile at her? It was truly bizarre. She quickly shook her head, and when she saw Xiao Mingzheng had already walked away, she immediately came to her senses, stopped dwelling on the question, and quickly followed him.

Soon, Zhong Min understood how hard the job of a personal maid was. It was no different from a round-the-clock personal nanny. She had to follow Xiao Mingzheng wherever he went, and she was mostly standing all day long, and her legs were almost broken.

In fact, today is not even a day long. At most, it has been less than four hours from noon to now. If it were a full day, she didn't know how miserable it would be.

At this moment, Xiao Mingzheng was sitting in the study reading a book leisurely, and Zhong Min was standing by waiting, feeling very depressed. It turned out that she was now taking on all the security jobs, Mo Garden jobs, and other miscellaneous tasks by herself, becoming a complete indentured laborer who was completely oppressed.

The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became, the more she felt suffocated, and the more she wanted to kick Xiao Mingzheng, who was sitting comfortably, to the ground. Perhaps the resentment was too strong, even Xiao Mingzheng, who was concentrating on reading, seemed to sense something was wrong. After a while, he finally put the book down and glanced at Zhong Min.

"What's the matter?" He finally couldn't help it. This woman was becoming more and more out of control. Did she really think that everything would be different now that a small deal had been reached, and that she could even be on equal footing with him?

Zhong Min immediately understood what Xiao Mingzheng meant. Although the prince did not say anything explicitly, Zhong Min was extremely sensitive to his unique expression of disgust, no matter how subtle it was.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I just stood for too long and my legs are a little numb. I didn't mean to cause any trouble." Zhong Min felt even more aggrieved. He didn't know what bad luck he had that made him run to such a place to suffer.

"As a maid, you are really not qualified at all." Xiao Mingzheng raised his eyebrows slightly. Zhong Min felt tired even if she stood for a long time. Looking at her usual appearance, she didn't look so delicate at all.

Zhong Min raised her eyebrows upon hearing this and said in dissatisfaction, "Your Highness, I never said I was cut out to be a maid. Besides, if you think I did it on purpose, then let's try it out. Then you'll know what it's like."

Xiao Mingzheng never expected that Zhong Min would refute his words so sharply. His face darkened for a moment and he stared at this ignorant guy.

What are you looking at? Am I afraid of you? Zhong Min secretly groaned again at this, but she was not the kind of person who did not know the seriousness of the matter. Seeing that Xiao Mingzheng was already showing signs of being irritated, she immediately changed the subject and said, "By the way, Your Highness, if it is possible, I would like to know your travel plans for the next few days. This way, it will be easier for me to familiarize myself with your travel routes and adjust them."

Seeing Zhong Min change the subject without changing her expression, Xiao Mingzheng didn't pursue the matter any further. Instead, he said indifferently, "I already have a general idea of ​​the security measures within the mansion. You also mentioned that security arrangements outside the mansion are more complicated than those inside the mansion. I would like to hear your specific ideas for security outside the mansion."

Hearing Xiao Mingzheng's question, Zhong Min nodded, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he pointed to a chair beside him and asked, "If Your Highness doesn't mind, I would like to sit down and talk in detail."

After all, this time it was serious business, so Xiao Mingzheng didn't make it difficult. He nodded and signaled Zhong Min to sit down and talk in detail.

Seeing this, Zhong Min quickly sat down, not caring whether Xiao Mingzheng was satisfied with her behavior. She pounded her foot with her hand while speaking in a deep voice, "Outbound security can be specifically divided into two types: short-distance and long-distance. Short-distance security is generally for places that the prince often visits. Generally speaking, a relatively fixed deployment and response strategy can be formulated according to the route. As for long-distance travel, it is necessary to collect various intelligence in advance according to the specific destination and formulate two or more security plans. Specifically..."
