The prince's expression, which had just softened, returned to its usual state in an instant, like an inviolable snow lotus on an iceberg.
Fang Ruotang looked at the newcomer and was somewhat pleased, after all, the points were beckoning to her, and the little mirror was even more so, screaming in her mind like a groundhog.
He's here! He's here! He's bringing the points!
The young prince's carefree smile froze slightly. He looked at Fang Ruotang, who was smiling radiantly, with a complicated expression, and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
"You don't mind if I sit down with you, do you?"
The young prince casually remarked and then sat down on his own, completely ignoring the crown prince's sour face. After all, according to seniority, the crown prince had to call him uncle.
Hurry up! Talk to him! Touch his hand, and you'll get ten points!
"You're making me look creepy."
What are you afraid of? He's the kind of man who would rebel for you.
The Crown Prince raised his eyebrows and looked at the young prince, having forgotten about this matter.
The young prince shrugged, looking like he was giving up. Anyway, he wouldn't admit to anything that hadn't happened, and his elder brother wouldn't kill him for such a small matter.
"I have heard many rumors about the Grand Preceptor these days, but I don't know if they are true or false. I wonder if the Grand Preceptor could show me something?"
The young prince took the initiative, extending his hand and spreading it on the table. With a teasing smile, he said to Fang Ruotang, "A master once told my fortune, saying that I was destined to have no wife or children. Is that true?"
Fang Ruotang was stunned for a moment, staring straight at the large, well-defined hand in front of her. It was slightly different from the Crown Prince's. The Crown Prince had a thick layer of calluses on his hands due to years of sword practice, while the young prince's hands were clean and white, clearly indicating that he was a person of high status and wealth.
Can I just touch it directly?
[Hurry up and go! What are you hesitating for?]
Fang Ruotang blinked, placed her small hand on the little prince's large palm, thought for a moment and then felt something was wrong, so she held his hands and touched them.
The young prince was taken aback, his ears burning slightly. The girl's gaze was innocent, but her hand gestures were somewhat uncouth, sparking the imagination.
[The little prince's hands feel so soft!]
The little girl bluntly touched the young prince's large hand, one finger at a time, and finally went too far by inserting her fingers between his fingers and then gripping them tightly.
The young prince felt a tremor in his heart and coughed lightly to remind him.
The crown prince, who witnessed the whole scene, darkened his face and angrily reached out to pry their palms apart.
Fang Ruotang had no other thoughts on her mind and was focused on completing the task. She didn't notice the subtle flirtation between the Crown Prince and the Little Prince and was only concerned with bargaining with the little mirror.
[I didn't just hold the young prince's hand, I also thoroughly examined him inside and out, that's worth way more than ten points!]
Little Mirror: ...
Just tell me! What do you want?
"Give me the sweet potato you mentioned! You can't refuse, or I won't do any more tasks." Fang Ruotang threatened in her mind, her voice both cute and fierce.
The Crown Prince and the Young Prince, who had just been exchanging barbs, simultaneously turned their gazes to Fang Ruotang.
[You want sweet potatoes just because you held the young prince's hand? That's too much...]
【I don't care, I don't care, I want it! At worst, I'll sleep with one of them, and I won't ask you for the reward anymore; just give it to me in advance.】
Xiao Jingzi was clearly no match for Fang Ruotang, or perhaps for some reason, he treated Fang Ruotang's words as gospel.
In the eyes of the Crown Prince and the Little Prince, Fang Ruotang had just said a few words in a spoiled manner, and Xiao Jingzi had compromised without any principles.
Shouldn't you be thinking of yourself first? You can have the sweet potatoes later.
The little mirror offered a word of advice, and it was his honest opinion.
Fang Ruotang remained silent for a while, and the thoughts that came out next were all muffled.
Although the failure of the Heavenly Dao's evolution was not my fault, in the future you see, the Crown Prince and others, in their struggle for power over me, disregarded the people's livelihood, exacerbating the disasters and causing immense suffering to the populace. I do not wish to be a woman who brings disaster to the country and its people.
【……All right! 】
"Then give them more, so that they can be cultivated on a large scale, and then distributed to various counties before natural disasters strike, so that ordinary people can have a way to survive."
【……good. 】
Xiao Jingzi's reply was weak and listless, yet remarkably human, which both the Crown Prince and the Little Prince recognized. However, Fang Ruotang's words had an even greater impact on them.
Fang Ruotang was completely unaware and, taking advantage of the situation, asked the little mirror for the pill, eventually succeeding in obtaining a Peiyuan Pill.
[Hehe, I'll give the Qi-Nourishing Pill to Sister Lü later, then she can marry Prince Shen! How wonderful!]
Crown Prince: ...
Young Prince: ……
It's true that the well-fed don't know the hunger of the starving.
With medicine, one can do whatever one wants.
Although the two felt that Fang Ruotang's gift of medicine was too casual, they didn't say anything. After all, it was Fang Ruotang's stuff, and she could give it to whomever she wanted.
Moreover, the fact that Fang Ruotang likes someone and would give them medicine is a testament to their own abilities. At least with Xiao Jingzi's supervision, the person who received the medicine must not only be a good person but also someone who likes Fang Ruotang.
"Did you notice anything?"
The young prince waited until Fang Ruotang's thoughts had calmed down before asking, just as he had been waiting for her to organize her thoughts.
Fang Ruotang can't tell fortunes, but she can cheat.
With the small mirror present, ordinary people have nowhere to hide in front of her.
Tell him, don't worry, even if he can't marry you, you can give him ten or eight children. I have pills for having sons, pills for having daughters, pills for multiple pregnancies, pills for preventing miscarriage, all kinds of them.
Do you think I'm a pig?! I'm not giving birth, and besides, I can't have children because of a heart condition...
Fang Ruotang was interrupted by the small mirror before she could finish speaking.
