After leaving the Jiangdu Palace, the Fourth Prince was unhappy, feeling a bit depressed for not completing his mission. But when he looked around and saw Ah Liu suddenly appear from nowhere and followed them silently, his eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed to Zhang Shou's side, saying with a drooling face, "Teacher, it's not a good idea to just abandon Chef Song like this, right?"
"What if the King of Jiangdu and his family get angry and lock him up and beat him up? Otherwise, let Sixth Brother go and take a look?" Seeing Zhang Shou hesitated, he took the opportunity to lobby more vigorously, "Of course, there may be experts in the King of Jiangdu's Mansion. Although Sixth Brother is skilled and brave, it will be troublesome to explain if he is discovered. Otherwise, why not let Sixth Brother take me with him?"
Seeing Zhang Shou looking at him with a half-smile, the Fourth Prince was not afraid. He straightened his chest and said, "If I am caught, I will say that I forced Sixth Brother to sneak into the Jiangdu Palace to check the situation! After all, he is the one chosen by Sister A Ling. I can't let him be trapped in the Jiangdu Palace without knowing why, right? No matter how unreasonable Uncle Wang is, he can't do anything to me!"
"I don't think you're afraid of being trapped in the Jiangdu Palace, but you feel sorry that you didn't see the excitement enough." Zhu Ying exposed the fourth prince's righteous excuse unhappily. Seeing him rolling his eyes and laughing dryly without saying anything, she was also moved. However, before she could think of an excuse similar to the fourth prince's, her wrist was grabbed by Zhang Shou.
"Ah Liu, you take the Fourth Prince with you. Be careful. It's best not to let anyone find out, and don't use his lame excuse."
Zhang Shou nodded to Ah Liu, and when he saw the Fourth Prince cheer, he suddenly rushed to Ah Liu's side and pounced on him very skillfully. Seeing Ah Liu helplessly catching this monkey, throwing him on his back, and turning away very neatly, he turned his head to glance at Zhu Ying, who looked unwilling, and immediately laughed.
"Yingying, you are addicted to matchmaking! For things like this, you should let them talk on their own. Did you instigate Princess Hailing to say that? Obviously not. And did I instigate Mr. Song to pick up the conversation? Not at all. To be honest, I was stunned by this scene today. If the emperor is not anxious now, then the eunuch should be anxious too. Why bother?"
"Why are you using eunuchs as an example? Humph! Chu Kuan is simply infuriating!"
Zhu Ying snorted unhappily, but finally agreed: "But Ah Shou, you are right. I thought it was the Queen Mother who brought so many people to Yongping for a visit today, but who knew it would turn out like this... To be honest, Ah Ling was just a greedy and innocent little girl before, I didn't expect she had the guts to do this!"
"Haha, who said it wasn't true? Even our Mr. Song is a man who stands up for justice when necessary and cowers when necessary. The fact that he could say such words in front of the emperor today is enough to make people drop their eyeballs to the ground. He could even speak so freely in front of the King of Jiangdu's family. I almost thought he was possessed by my soul."
Zhu Ying was already used to Zhang Shou's occasional funny remarks, and she smiled until her eyes narrowed. "How can he compare to you? After a short moment of confident talk, his timid nature was immediately exposed... Fang Qing nicknamed him Song Hunzi, and it's true. This guy is considered a slacker by others..."
