Chapter 191 What to do
After exchanging glances with Xiao Jingzhan, Zhu Xuntao deliberately ignored the emotion that seemed to surge in Xiao Jingzhan's eyes,
pulled the quilt up to cover her chin, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
It was rare that Xiao Jingzhan was willing to let her go and let her sleep well.
She was simply crazy to communicate with Xiao Jingzhan at this time.
Wouldn't it be nice to sleep on such a warm bed?
I don't know if Zhu Xuntao is really so generous.
She went to sleep just because she was upset with Xiao Jingzhan.
It was hard for Xiao Jingzhan to hold back a lot of words. He looked at Zhu Xuntao with his eyes open all night without closing his eyes and sleeping for a while.
When he woke up the next day, Xiao Jingzhan had dark circles under his eyes.
Fortunately, Xiao Jingzhan was a handsome man with extraordinary looks.
Even with dark circles under his eyes, he was still handsome, and even had a little bit of a faint bright color.
No matter how you look at him, he is so attractive.
Xiao Jingzhan is worthy of the title of the first son of the capital.
"What's wrong with you today? Did you get squeezed dry by partying every night?"
The prince was happy to watch Xiao Jingzhan's good show, but he was also really curious about Xiao Jingzhan's situation.
It wasn't the first day that Xiao Jingzhan got married, not to mention that the prince didn't think that Zhu Xuntao's small body could squeeze Xiao Jingzhan into this state.
"I didn't sleep well last night because of the grain price issue."
How could Xiao Jingzhan tell the prince every detail of his affair with Zhu Xuntao?
The prince chuckled and dropped the topic.
Usually, when encountering a problem, even if the ministers in the court quarreled,
it would be impossible to discuss a good solution for a while.
Zhu Xuntao was different. She kept silent and relied on her own strength
to overthrow a group of ministers and did all the work.
Seeing Zhu Xuntao's ability to do things, the prince felt that the court had too many idle people.
If all the ministers were replaced by people like Zhu Xuntao, maybe a few of them could support the entire court.
Zhu Xuntao's efficiency in doing things is really beyond reproach.
That's right. In Zhu Xuntao's careful plan, the grain price has been well controlled and solved.
It's not a problem at all.
How could Xiao Jingzhan stay awake all night because of the grain price?
"Okay."
The prince didn't argue with Xiao Jingzhan. Everyone has some secrets. They are the same as the king and the minister.
"Just one thing, how important Zhu Xuntao is. You know it best besides me."
"Don't hold Zhu Xuntao back and delay her future."
Xiao Jingzhan is strong, young and energetic. He is not afraid of any noise.
Zhu Xuntao is different. She is just a weak woman.
The prince is not afraid that Zhu Xuntao will squeeze Xiao Jingzhan dry, but he is particularly worried that Xiao Jingzhan will squeeze Zhu Xuntao dry.
"How about I assign a doctor to Zhu Xuntao, who will stay in the mansion and take care of Zhu Xuntao?"
The prince was really worried about Zhu Xuntao's health.
If that didn't work, he would send Xiao Jingzhan out on business for a while.
Anyway, when facing Zhu Xuntao, if Xiao Jingzhan couldn't control himself,
he wouldn't mind helping Xiao Jingzhan and letting Xiao Jingzhan learn some scriptures from Master Mingdeng.
"Prince, you treat my Taotao as your own sister?"
Every word was to protect Xuntao, as if everyone was only a relative of Zhu Xuntao, and he was the only outsider.
"Hehehe, Zhu Xuntao is different, even if you can't adapt, you have to adapt."
The prince didn't deny his partiality to Zhu Xuntao at all.
Seeing Xiao Jingzhan's reaction, he knew that the attitudes of other people in Yongjing Marquis' Mansion were probably the same as his.
In this case, the prince was even more justified.
Once upon a time, Xiao Jingzhan was everyone's treasure.
Now, this treasure has been replaced by someone else.
The prince was very happy to see Zhu Xuntao snatch Xiao Jingzhan's status as a star.
He, a dignified prince, had to go through this, and it was time for Xiao Jingzhan to give it a try for the life he had lived all these years.
Xiao Jingzhan didn't know how to untie Zhu Xuntao's knot.
Here, the prince not only came to watch his show, but also said all kinds of sarcastic words.
If possible, Xiao Jingzhan really wanted to forget about brotherly love and loyalty between monarch and subject,
and give the prince a beating like he did with Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Jingshen.
The prince always thought that he could be on par with him in martial arts with his diligence.
But Xiao Jingzhan knew best in his heart that he was just giving the prince some face,
so that the prince would not concentrate on martial arts and put more important things aside. When practicing, he gave in to the prince.
Not letting the prince know his true strength, the prince spoke to him without any scruples.
At this time, Xiao Jingzhan really hated his younger brother.
Even if this younger brother was a noble prince, he was still very disliked.
"It's not the same."
Xiao Jingzhan put his itchy hands back into his sleeves,
"News has come from all over the place that Taotao's plan is going very smoothly."
Not wanting to talk about the private matters between himself and Zhu Xuntao anymore, Xiao Jingzhan had to change the subject to political affairs.
Only in this way could he divert the attention of the prince who liked to watch his show.
"Of course."
The prince was not surprised at all. He looked at Zhu Xuntao's plan very carefully.
Even if he had determined its feasibility, he did not even invite his staff to discuss it.
Directly follow Zhu Xuntao's plan.
Without this confidence and assurance, the prince would never have handled it this way.
"In this case, I would like to congratulate the prince for another achievement. The emperor will certainly be very happy."
Anyone who can relieve the emperor's worries during the snowstorm will be greatly rewarded by the emperor.
If there were no so many appropriate response measures by the prince, the situation of the Yong Dynasty today would not be the same.
Moreover, throughout the whole process, the prince protected Zhu Xuntao behind him and pushed the emperor out.
The reputation in the mouths of the people belongs to the emperor, while the prince hides his merits and fame.
How can the emperor not like such a filial son and virtuous prince?
No wonder they say heroes emerge in troubled times.
When the Yong Dynasty was in the midst of a century-old snowstorm, the prince had already made the biggest splash under everyone's eyes and
won the emperor's heart and favor.
The crown prince must be the biggest winner.
"Fourth prince, what should we do in this situation?"
The crown prince was confident of victory, but the fourth prince was happy for only a few days, and his staff were no longer happy.
The fivefold increase in grain prices only lasted for a short day. The happy time of making money was too short.
The fourth prince tapped his fingers on the table:
"How is the grain price today?"
He heard that the crown prince's people went to collect grain, so he took advantage of the excitement. He didn't want the crown prince to take advantage of it,
so he competed with the crown prince for grain.
