These two days, no matter how busy Prince Zhan was, he would always go back to the Duke Palace for dinner. Sometimes, when Nangong Waner was eating, the Prince Zhan would just hurriedly come back from the palace.

Nangong Waner looked at Prince Zhan who was wearing a court uniform and eating dinner beside him, and silently sympathized with the Emperor, "The imperial cuisine in the palace must be delicious, if not why would Prince Zhan come back hungry for dinner."

As he thought about it, Nangong Waner felt some sympathy for Prince Zhan, and he really worked hard, getting busy everyday and not being able to eat meals on time. In the blink of an eye, Nangong Waner put some food into Prince Zhan's bowl, "Eat more."

Prince Zhan immediately ate it, and his face had a look of enjoyment.

Seeing that the Prince Zhan was so happy, Nangong Waner was even more annoyed. He thought about how the servants in the juniors had said that the person beaten to death in the Wang Residence a few days ago was a spy from the previous dynasty, and he had truly wronged Chu Xiuhan, and thought that he was just an ordinary person who did not have enough time to hide. As he thought about this, he unconsciously picked up another piece of meat and placed it into Prince Zhan's bowl because he felt deeply guilty for wrongly blaming Prince Zhan for the past few days.

Nangong Waner raised his chopsticks and fell completely into deep thought, he also remembered that when he was at the tea shop and heard the gossip, Prince Zhan went to the frontlines when he was fifteen years old, and after going through several life and death situations, he returned victorious after eight years. Nangong Waner really pitied the teenager in the story by silently picking up two vegetables and placing them in Prince Zhan's bowl.

Suddenly, Nangong Waner remembered that the servant said that the Prince Zhan had supported up to half of the luck of the Tian Sheng, and that the various powers wanted to sneak into the Duke Palaces, or provoke them, or try to rope them in. Nangong Waner sighed, "Ah," and then looked up at Chu Xiuhan, silently cursing in his heart, "It's so tiring to live like this, and the pressure is too great." As he thought about it, he added another two pieces of meat into Prince Zhan's bowl.

"Wan Er", Prince Zhan said somewhat helplessly. Nangong Waner raised his chopsticks and looked at him suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

When Nangong Waner looked at the bowl in front of him, he didn't know when, but the bowl in front of him had become as tall as a small mountain. Furthermore, at this moment, Nangong Waner was holding a piece of meat in his chopsticks, which was obviously going to be piled on that small hill again.

The Prince Zhan was baffled by Nangong Waner's sudden gesture of goodwill, but she was still extremely happy deep in her heart. During the meal, Liu Hong came in with a bowl of black soup, saying that it was a prescription given by Imperial Physician Yang.

Seeing that, Nangong Waner immediately lowered his head, and quickly scooped up the rice in his bowl, as if he had not heard what Liu Hong had said.

Prince Zhan gently pushed the medicine bowl in front of Nangong Waner, indicating for him to drink it. Nangong Waner immediately teared up as if she was a pearl with a broken string, puckered her lips, and said in an extremely aggrieved manner, "I'm not sick … "I'm not sick …" How could the Prince Zhan endure this? He hurriedly went over to coax, "I'm not sick … "No problem …" As he coaxed her, he also gently caressed Nangong Waner's back with his big hands.

Seeing that it was very useful, Nangong Waner continued to cry, "I don't drink medicine … "I don't drink medicine …"

Hearing that, the Prince Zhan hurriedly replied, "I won't drink any medicine …" "Don't drink medicine …"

Nangong Waner was overjoyed in his heart, but he cried even harder on the surface, "Then drink the medicine and don't waste it … "Isn't it a hundred year old mountain ginseng?" Nangong Waner thought that in any case, Chu Xiuhan had done his best to take care of things everyday.

Hearing that, Prince Zhan paused, looking at the black medicinal juice in front of him, he hesitated, "If you don't drink it … "Fall down …"

But Nangong Waner refused, and cried until her eyes turned red, "I can't fall … Too much waste... "It can't be reversed …"

Seeing this, Prince Zhan drank the medicine. Nangong Waner quickly put a candied fruit in his mouth, then smiled and asked him, "Is it sweet?"

Prince Zhan answered in a daze. "En, sweet" Hearing Prince Zhan's answer, Nangong Waner was even happier.

Ju Xiang, who was standing behind her, was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off, and then, he looked at Liu Hong, who was also standing beside her, and he stood by the side with a very standard expression. Ju Xiang quickly restored her normal expression, as she was unable to adapt to the strict rules of the Prince Zhan's Mansion at first, and was slowly being influenced by Liu Hong. In front of outsiders, Ju Xiang also became very obedient.

After dinner, Ju Xiang accompanied Nangong Waner to walk around the Duke Palace's courtyard. Seeing that there were only the two of them left, Ju Xiang unrestrainedly teased Nangong Waner, "Miss, your acting skills have advanced by leaps and bounds recently.

Hearing that, Nangong Waner became really pleased, "That's right, young miss's foresight is divine, I have already determined that there will be a calamity tonight, I had long since hidden the chili concoction in my sleeves, with a light touch, I can guarantee that you won't stop crying", he pulled up his sleeves and showed it to Ju Xiang, "Ju Xiang, do you want to try it? It's pretty strong. " After he finished speaking, he subconsciously wrinkled his nose.

Ju Xiang was stunned on the spot, the corners of his eyes twitched, his young miss was really going all out.

After dinner, Prince Zhan went to his study in the bamboo forest by the lake and hurriedly returned to attend to the affairs of the imperial government. He still had a bunch of matters that he had not had enough time to handle when suddenly, Prince Zhan thought of something and lifted his head out of the pile of reports, staring outside the window in a daze. He smiled, and Zi Ye, seeing that his master's mood was very good, could not help but tease him, "Mistress, at dinner time, Miss Nangong has chili water hidden in his sleeves."

The corners of Prince Zhan's mouth curled up as he said in a completely unconcerned manner, "I naturally know about it."

Zi Ye was very shocked, "Master, you actually drank that bowl of medicine."

Prince Zhan lowered his head again and started to process the report, slowly saying, "I'm afraid that if she cries too much, it'll be bad for her body."

"Mistress, I've followed you for so many years, but didn't you refuse to use the soup?" Zi Ye thought about how his master had a weird personality and refused to drink medicine even when injured. He actually drank an entire bowl of soup tonight.

Prince Zhan seemed to be in a good mood, and unexpectedly picked up on Zi Ye's words, "Un, I puked it out while Wan Er wasn't paying attention." With that, he began to carefully draw and write on the report.

Zi Ye could not help but feel sympathy for the Prince Zhan. If the Miss Nangong cried every day with the chili concoction, would the master have to drink that bitter medicine every day before spitting it out? In reality, Zi Ye did not overthink it. In the next few days, as long as that black soup appeared on the table, Nangong Waner would always find a suitable time to cry and cry. Prince Zhan would also always agree to her request and drink that tonic. After a while, Prince Zhan really cared about Nangong Waner using the eyes of the chili concoction, but she was too embarrassed to expose her little trick. As long as Liu Hong used the pitch black soup, Prince Zhan himself would automatically drink it all, not giving Nangong Waner the chance to cry.

Nangong Waner was secretly delighted, but the Prince Zhan was also willing to bear it. Zi Ye saw it in his heart, and secretly went to find Liu Hong, and changed the medicine, "Since master is happy, but at least you have suffered less. The prince has never been able to drink the bitter medicine, and he has already vomited it out." Liu Hong was very shocked, and immediately changed the medicine in silence.

In the past few days, the emperor who was in the palace wasn't happy anymore. He repeatedly thought about how Prince Zhan had come to the palace a while ago to chat with him about politics when he had nothing better to do, playing chess, and seemed to be very hardworking, and the emperor thought that the Prince Zhan had suddenly changed his attitude and was understanding that the emperor was not doing things so easily. Why did he rush back to the palace recently and was unable to stop him even at meal time?

Just a moment later, the Prince Zhan was gone. His personal eunuch said that the prince had returned to his mansion and the emperor was deep in thought as he looked at the table full of food. "Little De, what has happened to the Prince Zhan's Mansion recently?"

"Your Majesty, the daughter of the Government's Lord Assistant Minister was saved by the Prince Zhan when she fell into the water of the Prime Minister's Residence. She is currently being raised in the Prince Zhan's Mansion.

The Emperor suddenly smiled, seeming to have thought of something, and his smile contained a sense of cunning.
