The Crown Prince frowned as he looked at Fang Ruotang's flustered face, pursed his lips, and asked in a restrained tone, "Are you very familiar with Minister Ye? Why do you look so guilty when you see him? What are you afraid of him for?"
Fang Ruotang blinked rapidly, her guilty expression growing even more pronounced.
"Brother Crown Prince, what are you saying? Why would I be afraid of him? Hehe!"
The Crown Prince's face grew increasingly gloomy, devoid of any brightness, a stark contrast to his earlier playful antics in the room.
"Crown Prince?"
"I don't want you to be afraid of me, but at this moment I also want you to be afraid of me."
The Crown Prince suddenly made this remark, and Fang Ruotang stared at him for a couple of seconds, not understanding what he meant.
"I don't understand."
"never mind."
After processing his thoughts, the Crown Prince gently patted Fang Ruotang's head.
"It's none of your business, it's my problem."
From the initial investigation, we knew what kind of personality she had. Instead of disciplining her, we indulged and spoiled her. Now we're blaming her for not being afraid of us, which makes no sense.
Besides, she wasn't afraid of Minister Ye, but she couldn't stand his unreasonable demands. However, she couldn't bring herself to do what Minister Ye did to Fang Ruotang in private.
"If you're unhappy about anything, you can tell me, and I might be able to help you resolve it," Fang Ruotang said considerately, her face downcast as she looked at the sullen-faced Crown Prince.
I don't understand why he suddenly became unhappy.
She glanced guiltily toward the doorway. It couldn't be that they had figured out her relationship with Ye Wuxia; if they had, they wouldn't be so calm.
They might tie her and Ye Wuxia together and drown them in the pond.
It must be for something else. After all, the situation is so chaotic right now, and there are so many disasters. The Crown Prince is so busy that he rarely gets to sleep, so he must have a lot of worries.
Fang Ruotang convinced herself well, then straightened her back and looked at His Highness the Crown Prince with a righteous air.
The Crown Prince was completely stunned by Fang Ruotang's changing emotions, and was speechless.
This is truly a girl who doesn't suffer from internal conflicts at all.
That's fine too.
The Crown Prince's vexation subtly improved; after all, the young girl was happy, so he had no reason to be unhappy.
"Why don't you go out and I'll change my clothes?"
Fang Ruotang cares about those close to her and is good at sensing their emotions. When she noticed that the Crown Prince's mood had eased a bit, she immediately took advantage of his kindness.
"Didn't I help you change your clothes just now? Why do you want me to leave now that you're changing?"
"It's not that I'm avoiding you! It's just that since Vice Minister Ye is here, he probably has some official business to discuss with you!"
[You're so clever! Leaving them alone, aren't you afraid they'll let something slip?]
Oh! Why didn't you remind me sooner?
Fang Ruotang's face changed, and she immediately said in a high-pitched voice, "If you don't want to go out, then don't go out! Or you can help me pick out some clothes. Which one do you think looks good on me?"
Fang Ruotang grabbed the Crown Prince and started rummaging through the wardrobe.
The crown prince remained speechless.
That's outrageous.
"...You look good in anything, and besides, you're only meeting Minister Ye, a minor official of the third rank. Is it really necessary to put so much effort into dressing up?"
The Crown Prince was both pleased that Fang Ruotang had tricked Minister Ye into waiting outside the door, and displeased that she had dressed up so carefully to see Minister Ye.
My heart was being torn back and forth, and I finally couldn't hold back the bitterness in my heart and choked out a sentence.
"Brother Crown Prince, what are you saying! I dressed up nicely so you could see!" Fang Ruotang raised her small face, looking surprised, and spoke with righteous indignation.
The prince looked closely and saw that the girl's eyes were full of sincerity, unlike her usual scheming and incompetent pretense of cleverness. Her words were clearly from the heart.
The Crown Prince's anxious mood was instantly soothed, and he even took the initiative to act as an advisor.
The two of them sweetly picked out clothes, and in the end, the Crown Prince even personally drew Fang Ruotang's eyebrows. The sounds of their playful banter drifted out of the room, and Ye Wuxia's handsome face twisted with jealousy.
"Brother Crown Prince, your drawing is so ugly! Aren't you supposed to be a very good painter? You wouldn't have deliberately made me look ugly, would you? Are you just jealous that I'm prettier than you?"
Fang Ruotang's spoiled voice rang out, and Ye Wuxia stepped forward, wanting to say something.
Your Highness, can you draw it clearly? If not, let me do it.
But then the prince’s clearly pleased voice rang out.
"This is my first time drawing eyebrows for someone, please bear with me, okay? Once I return to the palace, I'll practice a few more times, and I'll definitely draw them beautifully next time."
"Who are you going to practice with?" The girl's voice was clearly tinged with jealousy.
Her steps, which had already stopped, suddenly became numb, and Ye Wuxia looked down at the ground.
Separated by a door, it's like two different worlds.
"I won't ask anyone else. I'll just draw it on my arm a few more times and I'll get it on my own. Trust me, next time we meet, I'll definitely draw you beautiful eyebrows."
"Alright! I'll trust you this time, but you're not allowed to draw eyebrows for other girls, understand?"
Fang Ruotang's spoiled and commanding tone pleased the Crown Prince, who happily agreed.
The two lingered and snuggled inside for a while before finally going out hand in hand.
Seeing Ye Wuxia standing upright in the courtyard, Fang Ruotang was startled. She asked somewhat guiltily, "Why didn't you wait in the hall? Are you just standing here?"
Without waiting for his reply, the hostage scolded the maid.
"Peach blossoms and apricot blossoms, how can you treat your guests like this? How can you let your honored guest stand here waiting!"
She didn't know! If she knew even a little bit, she wouldn't have been so arrogant in the room just now. Who knows how much Ye Wuxia heard?
"It is Tao Hong (Apricot White) who has not been hospitable enough. I hope Miss will forgive her."
