Chapter 164: Fellow Travellers

The prince was somewhat shocked:

"Does my aunt really like Zhu Xuntao so much now?"

It felt unreal.

Xiao Jingzhan thought that this was the normal development:

"Prince, when you were talking about my mother, why didn't you think about yourself?"

"What's wrong with me? Haven't I always been fine?"

At first, the prince didn't react.

Soon, the prince suddenly remembered his mood and scene when he first met Zhu Xuntao a few months ago.

Indeed, at the beginning, the prince also felt that the unknown Zhu Xuntao could not be worthy of Xiao Jingzhan, who enjoyed a great reputation in the capital.

Zhu Xuntao is also a naughty child. She has developed a habit in modern times, and she wants to talk nonsense when she sees a handsome guy.

She thought that she was just thinking about it casually in her heart, and she didn't say it casually, so it can't be wrong, right?

But because of her ignorant nonsense, the prince had a worse impression of her.

At that time, the prince even thought that since most people in Yongjing Marquis's Mansion didn't like Zhu Xuntao,

and Xiao Jingzhan himself didn't seem to be emotional about Zhu Xuntao, Zhu Xuntao was so unbearable,

it would be better to really go against the grandmother's will and cancel the marriage between Zhu Xuntao and Xiao Jingzhan. They couldn't know that Zhu Xuntao was unreasonable, but they still put Xiao Jingzhan's life in it

for the old feelings of the old lady, right? In short, the first meeting between the prince and Zhu Xuntao was not pleasant at all, and the prince's attitude towards Zhu Xuntao was also quite bad and extremely disgusting. But soon, within three days, let's see what the prince's attitude towards Zhu Xuntao is. Originally, Xiao Jingzhan never thought of turning over this old account and slapping the prince in the face. But who asked the prince to expose his mother's stage first, laughing at his mother for not liking Zhu Xuntao before, but now she loves Zhu Xuntao more than her own son. At this time, reason and marriage are all on Xiao Jingzhan's side. What choice should be made between his mother and the prince, do you still need to hesitate? "Okay, okay..." The prince was speechless after being rebuked by Xiao Jingzhan. The prince had no choice but to admit that it happened, because it was only a few months ago. Even the prince himself did not expect that he would look down on Zhu Xuntao so much, but he would look up to Zhu Xuntao today. Is this also a matter of time and fate? "I will keep an eye on Minister Zhao." "As for Jingshen, you can only help me keep an eye on him and make him keep his skin tight for me." The sooner Xiao Jingshen finishes his studies under Zhu Xuntao, the sooner he can make arrangements for Xiao Jingshen and deal with Minister Zhao. If Xiao Jingshen does not finish his studies, the prince will have to rely on Minister Zhao to help Xiao Jingshen take the position of minister. "Ah." Xiao Jingshen did not know that the prince had made such an arrangement for him and wanted to put so much pressure on him. In the eyes of others, he is just a young boy who has just come out of the house and is still wet behind the ears. How could he have the qualifications to let the dignified Lord Zhao occupy such a high position as the Minister of Revenue for him. After all, there are so many people in the court, and many of them are eyeing the position of the Minister of Revenue. Who is he, who hasn't even finished the imperial examinations, and who is he? "Caught a cold?" Zhu Xuntao is not Zhou Bapi. After hearing that Xiao Jingshen sneezed several times today, he advised Xiao Jingshen to go back and rest, "If you feel unwell, go back and rest. Find a doctor to prescribe some medicine for you." When talking about taking medicine, Zhu Xuntao's tone changed. Xiao Jingshen had a very clever mind. After he noticed something was wrong, he did not ask Zhu Xuntao about herself, but set a trap for Qiuyue: "Qiuyue, is my sister-in-law particularly afraid of taking medicine?" Xiao Jingshen had seen the same expression on Zhu Xuntao's face, as if he was gloating when seeing others taking medicine, on Xiao Chenliang's face. Hearing this question, Qiuyue nodded to Xiao Jingshen without thinking: "My prince's wife hates taking medicine." "Last time, in order to save the young master, the prince's wife fell ill as soon as she returned home, and she has been making a fuss and refused to take medicine." "Thanks to the prince for coming to see the prince's wife and feeding me the medicine." "If it weren't for the prince's help that day, I'm afraid the prince's wife wouldn't have recovered so quickly and married the prince smoothly." The prince's wife can only marry the prince and get married to the prince after she recovers from her illness. "Qiuyue!" Zhu Xuntao wanted to interrupt Qiuyue to cover up her shame. But Qiuyue's little mouth was like a machine gun, and all the good and bad words came out "thump thump", and Zhu Xuntao couldn't stop them. "Hahaha, sister-in-law, you are just like the little fat boy. You hate taking medicine." "You may not know that the little fat boy is delicate and avoids medicine when he is sick." "In the whole mansion, only the eldest brother can do that to the little fat boy. He pinches the little fat boy's nose and forces medicine into his mouth." They are soft-hearted. They see how pitiful the little fat boy is when he is sick. He has to drink bitter medicine, which is even more pitiful. But the child is weak. If he doesn't take medicine, it will be more difficult to recover. When everyone was at a loss, Xiao Jingzhan stood up with a cold face. Without saying a word, he picked up Xiao Chenliang, pinched Xiao Chenliang's nose with one hand, and forced medicine into Xiao Chenliang with the other hand. It was the first time, and his hands were unfamiliar. After a bowl of medicine, half of it went into Xiao Chenliang's stomach, and the other half was all over Xiao Chenliang's clothes. By the second time, Xiao Jingzhan immediately became an expert, and almost 80% of the medicine went into Xiao Chenliang's stomach.

From then on, Xiao Jingzhan became the only person in the mansion who could feed Xiao Chenliang medicine.

So, this job naturally fell into Xiao Jingzhan's hands.

Fortunately, Xiao Chenliang is a healthy and lively little fat boy. He is already two years old, and he gets sick as often as he ages.

Otherwise, facing his uncle who feeds him medicine like that,

even if Xiao Chenliang is not old enough to remember things, he would be so scared that he would have a shadow in his heart and hide from Xiao Jingzhan.

"So that's it!"

Qiuyue showed an expression of sudden enlightenment,

"I was surprised. How could the prince be so skillful in feeding the prince's wife medicine that day? It was obvious that it was not his first time." It turned

out that the prince's skill in feeding people medicine was learned from the young master.

Then, Qiuyue said to Zhu Xuntao, who was suffering from embarrassment, in a particularly serious manner:

"Princess, I finally understand why the young master and the princess get along so well and like her so much."

"So that's what you think. How can the young master not like someone like him?"

That's how the fate between the two came about!

Zhu Xuntao, who was so embarrassed that he shut himself off and said he didn't want to talk to anyone.

Thinking of Qiuyue's silliness, which was all caused by her,

Zhu Xuntao said with tears in her eyes that she could only bear it.

"Hahaha..."

Xiao Jingshen was amused by Qiuyue.
