PNB Chapter 105: Does the Second Prince Dislike Women?
Chapter 105: Does the Second Prince Dislike Women?
"Then who does Your Highness wish to see? Do you think I am unsuitable?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked cautiously.
The second prince looked up at her and said, "Why do you seem to be in such a hurry? Are you plotting something?"
"Your Highness is joking. How could I dare to have any bad ideas? It's not that I'm anxious, but I'm anxious for Your Highness. The price of grain outside has already started to rise. If we don't go to collect grain soon, the cost will increase and the profit will be less. I'm worried about Your Highness's money."
The second prince smiled, somewhat smugly: "No worries, this prince is rolling in money."
[Damn it, he fooled me! I really want to fight you rich people! Aaaaaah...]
There are so many rich people in the world, why can't there be one more like me?
The second prince swirled his teacup, his thoughts racing. Gu Linglong likes money? He has it.
The Second Prince said, "I know what I'm doing; you don't need to concern yourself with this."
Whether Gu Linglong's words are credible or not will be known in three days. There's no need to lose money; he can afford to wait three days.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the handsome Second Prince sitting in front of her and felt a little distracted. It seemed she couldn't wait any longer. If she waited any longer, when would her favorability rating increase?
"Since Your Highness already knows, I will not inquire further. If you need me, please just give the order, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation," Lin Xiaoxiao expressed her loyalty.
She picked up the teapot in front of her with her slender hand, deliberately rolling up her sleeves to reveal her fair and delicate arms: "I'll pour the Second Prince a cup of tea."
Lin Xiaoxiao poured tea from the teapot, gazing at the Second Prince with tender affection, her eyes filled with the unspoken longing of someone looking at their lover. Her gaze was brimming with boundless tenderness.
Why is the person pouring tea looking at him instead of the teacup? The Second Prince instantly got goosebumps; he felt a chill despite the heat.
Like the low-class opera he once saw at the brothel, the feeling of a weak scholar being targeted by a beautiful ghost.
He is now that scholar.
The second prince couldn't help but retort, "Is there something wrong with your eyes?"
Lin Xiaoxiao: "..."
Is it because she hasn't practiced her seductive gaze in a long time, and it's lost its effectiveness?
It's alright, she has another plan.
"Oh dear, the tea has leaked. I'm so sorry, Your Highness, I didn't mean to."
Lin Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed a handkerchief from the side to wipe away the tea stains, and then casually walked towards the Second Prince, her body intentionally or unintentionally getting closer.
But she didn't dare to actually get close, only standing very close. The second prince frowned and moved back a little.
See? I told you Lin Xiaoxiao went to seduce the second brother!
The old nanny looked to the other side. She was an old servant in the palace and could see through what the other person wanted to do at a glance, but it was not something that a servant like her could interfere with, so she could only turn her head to the other side.
Lin Xiaoxiao gently touched the Second Prince's hand.
Gu Linglong, being behind, couldn't see everything and could only imagine: [Could they already be holding hands? Holding each other in their arms?]
[Wow, the second brother is so weak. He got fooled by such a simple trick. Tsk tsk, he's only fit to be a supporting character.]
From Gu Linglong's perspective, it does look like they are hugging.
The second prince abruptly moved his hand away, his voice authoritative even without anger: "Be careful. What kind of behavior is this, acting so recklessly?"
Lin Xiaoxiao: "?"
Am I not showing it clearly enough?
[Ding! The system has detected that the favorability rating of the target has decreased by 50%. The current favorability rating is 20%. Please keep trying!]
Lin Xiaoxiao: "?"
How come it was 80% just now and suddenly it's 20%?
Lin Xiaoxiao was getting a little frustrated; this wasn't what she had expected.
Don't like this type? Don't like proactive types, lack a conquering spirit?
Then let's switch to another one. The strategy guide the system gave us wasn't for nothing.
Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes, looking utterly pitiful: "I understand, Second Prince, please don't be angry, Xiaoxiao knows she was wrong."
【Wow, this is great tea!】
What's wrong with you? You're a staff member in the mansion, not a vixen!
The second prince was even more annoyed by her; she was so affected and pretentious.
"Can't you speak properly? Why are you using such a high-pitched voice?"
Lin Xiaoxiao: "..."
After saying that, he added, "Like a hen that has been poisoned and rendered mute."
Lin Xiaoxiao: "..."
What do you know? She specially spent points to learn this sound, what's it called again? Right, it's a "clamping" sound, but it was actually pronounced like a hen's voice.
Lin Xiaoxiao was almost driven crazy by the Second Prince.
Don't like this one? Then let's choose another one, she wouldn't believe me.
"Oh, I see, I didn't cry."
Lin Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears, appearing particularly forthright and uninhibited.
"Your Highness, I didn't cry. Crying is something only effeminate people do. A tough woman like me wouldn't do such a thing."
Lin Xiaoxiao poured herself a cup of tea and drank it down in one gulp, just like drinking alcohol. She poured herself several cups in a row.
[Wow, a new persona? What style are you going for? A more outgoing, carefree style?]
The second prince pinched the bridge of his nose, looking at his tea with a pained expression.
Such fine tea was being drunk by Lin Xiaoxiao like water, which made me even more upset. It was extremely vulgar!
What kind of bold and unrestrained style is that? I think she's just crazy.
The second prince frowned and put his teapot away: "Don't drink it, my tea is quite expensive."
Lin Xiaoxiao: "..."
You, a dignified second prince, don't even have the money to buy your subordinates tea?
[Ding! The system has detected that the favorability rating of the target has decreased by 10%. The current favorability rating is 10%. Please keep trying!]
Lin Xiaoxiao was furious. "I only drank a few cups of your tea! You're deducting my favorability points? Fine, I'll give them back to you!"
"I'm so sorry, Your Highness. I just couldn't resist having a few extra cups because your tea is so delicious. I have a jar of Suzhou Maojian tea that's just been released this year; I'll get it for you."
The second prince took out a silk handkerchief from his bosom and vigorously wiped his hands, wiping each hand carefully, one by one, on the hand that Lin Xiaoxiao had touched.
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyelids twitched violently, feeling an unprecedented sense of humiliation.
"Suzhou Maojian tea? This prince hasn't drunk that inferior stuff for years. You certainly have a unique palate, liking to drink junk."
Lin Xiaoxiao: "..."
Lin Xiaoxiao felt her blood surging inside her body, and she was almost so angry at the Second Prince that she vomited blood. How could Suzhou Maojian tea, which is also a famous tea, be considered garbage?
Her hands were gripping the hem of her clothes so tightly under the table that they were almost deformed.
The second prince added, "Even my dog won't drink it."
[Hahahaha, second brother, if you can talk, then say more. Don't scold too harshly, or you'll have to cuddle with Gu Minghai when you get home tonight.]
Gu Minghai? What does that mean?
[These two really know how to have fun. Gu Minghai has joined the Prime Minister's camp, and his concubine has become an advisor in the Second Prince's residence. How interesting!]
Concubine?
How dare a concubine serve as a staff member in the prince's residence?
Being a staff member is one thing, but trying to seduce him is another?
Well done!
[Ding! The system has detected that the favorability rating of the target has decreased by 10%, currently at 0. Please try again.]
Lin Xiaoxiao: "..."
Ugh... Where did things go wrong? Could it be that the Second Prince doesn't like women?
