Chapter 27: Bad News and Good News
The system continued to say in a suicidal manner: "Host, I feel that your prince seems to be a little unsatisfied, even with acne. Are men of his age already married and have children?"
Fang Lingchu almost couldn't maintain the expression on his face.
Fortunately, they arrived at the study. Fang Lingchu deliberately slowed down and adjusted his expression. He was already laughing in his heart.
After laughing out loud in my heart, I pretended to tidy up my clothes and went in.
Minister Fang couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
As soon as he and the prince came in, they heard their daughter's thunderous laughter.
Then I looked up and saw that she looked like a lady from a wealthy family.
This contrast really makes him, as an old father, feel ashamed.
Still pretending in front of the prince, he is simply risking his life.
The Fang family is in danger.
The prince, however, likes Fang Lingchu very much because she is smart and cute.
If Minister Fang and Fang Lingchu knew what the prince was thinking, they would definitely say: It turns out that love-brain has a filter.
It is true that in the eyes of a lover, every woman is a beauty, but in the eyes of Xishi, only eye boogers are seen.
Fang Lingchu and the other person asked, "System, why are they looking at me like that? And what does that prince mean? He looks like he really likes me."
The system said: [Could this be the look of love in your eyes?]
Fang Lingchu wanted to roll her eyes again.
"Will you die if you don't talk nonsense for a day? If you keep saying this, I'm almost mistaking it for the prince liking me."
The prince felt a little nervous and happy at the same time. Did she know?
The system apologized: [Alright, alright, I won’t say any more.]
Minister Fang strategically took a sip of tea and asked, "I wonder what brings His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Fang Mansion?"
When Fang Lingchu heard his father say this, he looked up at him in surprise, as if to say, "Dad, you don't even know why the prince is here?"
Minister Fang seemed not to notice Fang Lingchu's little action and waited for the prince's next words.
I heard that Lord Xiao Fang is very good at painting, and I would like to ask him to help me draw something.
Fang Lingchu glared at his father, then took the thing from the prince's hand.
When I opened it, I saw a slightly yellowed paper with a picture of a heroic female general on it.
The female general looks very young. Perhaps because the painting has been kept for a long time and is often touched by people, some of the parts are badly worn out.
Fang Lingchu looked up and asked, "Repair it or paint a new one?"
Minister Fang pretended not to notice Fang Lingchu's actions.
Anyway, one of them is a prince and the other is a princess, and he can't say anything about their identities, so let it be.
The prince smiled and said, "My eldest brother's birthday is in a few days, so if it can be repaired, that would be great. If not, please ask Xiaochu to help me draw a new one so that I can send it to my eldest brother."
Fang Lingchu didn't hear the change in the prince's address, so he asked, "How long?"
She had learned a little about calligraphy and painting restoration before, but it required high technology, which she had never tried before.
She has the tools, but she doesn't know if they will work.
The prince ignored Fang Lingchu's attitude and said, "My eldest brother's birthday is in three days."
Fang Lingchu pushed the painting back and said, "Not in three days. It can't be repaired."
The prince did not take the painting from Fang Lingchu's hand, and continued, "Then Xiaochu, please help me draw another one."
The prince's tone was still very gentle, and one could even say there was a hint of doting in it.
At this time, the system's voice sounded inappropriately: [Sorry for the trouble, Xiao Chuchu.]
He even spoke in a low voice.
Fang Lingchu felt nauseous instantly and got goosebumps.
[Guagua, are you crazy? Why are you suddenly talking like this?]
Because of the system's behavior, Fang Lingchu was unable to respond to the prince in time.
He quickly apologized, "Please forgive me, Your Highness. I was distracted just now. Can I draw a new one for Your Highness? Okay, I will send it to the Eastern Palace the day after tomorrow."
The prince nodded and said, "Okay, then..."
Before the rest of the address was announced, Fang Lingchu interrupted, "Prince, please follow everyone else and call me Little Lord Fang."
Fang Lingchu's words made it very clear that they could only be in a subordinate relationship.
When Fang Lingchu directly interrupted the prince, Minister Fang had already figured out what kind of death law Fang Jiajiu would have.
The prince just looked at Fang Lingchu quietly.
Minister Fang quickly pulled his daughter to apologize, saying that she was risking her life to speak to the prince like that.
Fang Lingchu also realized what she had said, but she actually did not regret it. If she were asked to marry the prince, she would rather die than live a life worse than death.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Fang Lingchu said he was sorry but did not admit his mistake.
He really wanted to ask her if she hated him so much.
But I also know that now is not the time to ask this.
The prince helped the two men up and said, "Master Fang, you are too kind. Besides the portrait, I have another thing I want to ask you, Master Fang."
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard him change his address.
Fang Lingchu smiled and said, "Your Highness, please feel free to tell me what you want. I will do my best to help you."
Fang Lingchu helped his father sit up, then he sat back down and answered the prince.
The prince clapped his hands, and someone brought in a pot of flowers from the door.
It's not quite a flower, because it only has leaves, small ones, just two. It looks like it's dying.
The prince took the item, placed it on the table, and said, "I got this from a Hu merchant. It looks like a stone, so I potted it as an ornamental stone. I didn't expect it to sprout."
The Crown Prince glanced at Fang Lingchu, who was calm and collected. He didn't hear her thoughts and continued, "I went to court today and saw the picture that Minister Fang gave to Your Majesty. It looked somewhat similar. I wonder if Master Fang recognizes it?"
Fang Lingchu looked at the thing and asked the system: [Guagua, do you know what this is? ]
Then he replied to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, let me take a look."
When the Crown Prince and Minister Fang heard her asking about Gua Gua, they felt relieved. They didn't come to ask her, but mainly asked about Gua Gua, the expert beside her.
The system said: [One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear? ]
Fang Lingchu thought for a moment and said, "Good news, right?"
【The good news is that the prince has potatoes in his hand.】
Fang Lingchu stood up in surprise, quickly walked to the table and looked at it carefully.
When the Crown Prince and Minister Fang heard that it was potatoes, they were so happy that they almost forgot to breathe.
This is a grain that produces 1,000 kilograms per mu, which can change the fate of tens of millions of people.
The system looked at the excited Fang Lingchu. She didn't want to pour cold water on her, but...: [Host, calm down. There is one more bad news.]
When the Crown Prince and Minister Fang heard what the system said, their hearts suddenly tightened.
Fang Lingchu also calmed down and asked, "What's the bad news? Isn't it that there's only one potato left, and this one is about to die?"
After hearing Fang Lingchu's words, the Crown Prince and Minister Fang were both a little unhappy.
Although we cannot be superstitious, we cannot say this either. What if the thing is really gone?
The system said excitedly: [Host, you are so smart. I admire you more and more.]
After hearing what the system said, Fang Lingchu came back and sat down without even looking at the plant.
