Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"Your Highness, what are we going to do?"

Ergou didn't know why.

"Adults do things, children don't ask questions."

Ning Fan grimaced, his brows knitted into a knot.

The current situation is not good, and Ning Fan already has a sense of urgency.

Now, he has become a thorn in the side of the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince. If he does not establish his own base, he will be eaten to death by the two of them.

If it doesn't go well, even your life will be lost!

Since ancient times, the struggle for imperial power has been the most cruel. Brothers, fathers and sons are a joke.

"Ahem, what are you doing?"

A girl in a green dress walked in and was immediately startled by the smoky environment in the yard.

This girl is none other than Xiao Lingxi's personal maid Xiaoyu.

Ning Fan had never seen Xiaoyu before, but when he suddenly saw this beautiful girl, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"satyr!"

Seeing Ning Fan's eyes, Xiaoyu cursed inwardly.

The rumored ridiculous prince is indeed well-deserved.

The way he looks at people seems to be like a hook, as if he can strip people naked with his eyes.

"Girl, who are you?"

Ning Fan's face was darkened by the ash from the vegetation. He walked over and opened his mouth to speak, revealing a mouth full of white teeth.

This startled Xiaoyu, she rolled her eyes at Ning Fan, and then said reservedly: "My young lady is ill, so I have asked you to learn how to make instant noodles from the Sixth Prince."

Ning Fan had actually thought clearly that Xiao Lingxi probably didn't have any health problems at all, it was just an excuse.

The other party is afraid of his bad reputation and doesn't want to get too close to him. This is the key point.

Now that another little maid was sent, Ning Fan felt angry.

"I'm busy, I don't have time."

Ning Fan said angrily.

I went to Xiao's house today and got into trouble. Even now, Ning Fan is still angry. He, Ning Fan, is not a dog licker. Does he really want to be manipulated by others?

Xiaoyu was also dumbfounded. Ning Fan was so courteous before, why is he so cold now?

She was so thin-skinned that she was about to turn around and leave on the spot.

But when I thought of the young lady's instructions, my feet suddenly seemed to have taken root, and I couldn't move them at all.

"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, please abide by your integrity and teach Xiaoyu how to make instant noodles! Otherwise, the soldiers at the border will go to war hungry!"

Xiaoyu's eyes were red with anger.

"What do you mean by being honest? I said I would teach it to your lady, but I didn't say I would teach it to you! Also, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to learn how to make instant noodles, help me work first!"

Ning Fan said unceremoniously.

Xiaoyu was stunned. She didn't expect Ning Fan to be so ignorant of compassion and pity that he let herself do rough work with these eunuchs.

Although she is a maid, she is also Xiao Lingxi's personal maid. She has never done any rough work...

"Are you going to do it? If not, get out."

Ning Fan sneered.

Xiaoyu burst into tears of grievance and stood there for a while not knowing what to do.

When Ergou saw Xiaoyu's appearance, he couldn't bear it. He quietly came to Ning Fan, pulled Ning Fan's sleeve and said, "Your Highness, don't you like Miss Xiao Lingxi? Isn't it unfair to treat her maid like this now? The impression score is greatly reduced?"

"Er Gou, it's not that I don't want to teach, it's hard for a clever woman to make a living without rice! Everyone in our house is going to be hungry. I even pawned the jade pendant to get these pork. Where can I still have the money to buy flour to make instant noodles?"

Ning Fan sighed deliberately.

Xiaoyu was surprised when she heard Ning Fan's complaint.

His Majesty, the majestic prince, actually has to rely on pawns to survive?

"Your Highness the Sixth Prince, if there is really a shortage of materials for making instant noodles in the mansion, I, Xiaoyu, can pay for the raw materials myself."

Xiaoyu said quickly.

"Forget it, you can make enough food and clothing by yourself. If you want to help, you can stay and work. If you don't want to work, go back first. I'll wait until I make money to buy the ingredients another day, and then I'll teach you how to make instant noodles!"

"I also know that there is a shortage of food on the front line. I can't wait too long. Let's do this. I should be able to make money tomorrow morning. You can just come tomorrow afternoon."

Ning Fan waved his hand, indicating that Xiaoyu could leave.

Xiaoyu had no choice but to turn around and leave temporarily.

"living comfortably without anybody's help!"

"Did this sentence really come from His Highness the Sixth Prince?"

At this time, in the inner courtyard of the Xiao family, Xiao Lingxi looked surprised.

When she heard Ning Fan's words, she felt as if she was electrocuted all over.

Simple words often reveal profound truths.

Just like the poem Ning Fan wrote last time, it was all ingenuity but not workmanship.

"Miss, that's not the point. The point is that he kicked me out!"

Xiaoyu said angrily.

Xiao Lingxi didn't take it seriously at all, and said with a faint smile: "He must be angry because he was rejected, but he didn't say no, just go back tomorrow!"

Xiaoyu was so angry that she stamped her feet and frowned: "Miss, why do you always turn to him? He is just a big stick! I don't believe that the poem before was really written by him!"

"Even if it is plagiarism, it shows that he is knowledgeable, doesn't it? Xiaoyu, people should be more open-minded! By the way, let me ask you, you said that His Highness the Sixth Prince is making money, how is he going to make money?"

Xiao Lingxi asked with interest.

In this era, a prince said that he wanted to "do it by himself and have enough food and clothing". This was very shocking in Xiao Lingxi's opinion.

"I don't know either. They seemed to be boiling lard, and they also made a lot of stove ashes! By the way, when I went there, the sixth prince's whole face was completely black with grass ashes. It's really insulting to gentlemen! As for the prince, I think he is worse than an ordinary servant!"

Xiaoyu was slighted by Ning Fan today, and she is still a little dissatisfied.

"Boiled in lard? Stove ashes? Can you make money from this?"

Xiao Lingxi was very interested, with a bit of exploration on her face: "Xiaoyu, you go tomorrow morning to see how they make money."

"All right……"

Xiaoyu wrinkled her nose and agreed.

Naturally, Ning Fan didn't know that Xiao Lingxi, the most dignified beauty in Anjing, would be so concerned about his career in making money.

But at this time, Ning Fan was not idle either.

The lard is cooked and needs to be left aside.

But the plant ashes must be disposed of tonight. In one afternoon, Ergou and the others sifted out hundreds of kilograms of fine ashes, which was enough for Ning Fan to use for a while.

"Yes, add water and stir vigorously with a big thick stick!"

Ning Fan directed Ergou and others to work, and he himself was not idle either. He also worked with a stick.

When the servants saw that Ning Fan, a prince, was not afraid of tiredness or hardship, they worked even more energetically.

"Well, leave it alone after it's mixed well. Leave it here overnight. We'll get up at the fourth watch tomorrow morning and make the things early in the morning to sell!"

After some operations, the preparations were finally completed.

But then, Ning Fan was still not idle.

He found wooden boards and began making molds.
