“Xuan Ce…” After understanding the good intentions of his retainer, His Royal Highness the King of Chu immediately stepped forward and hugged him: “I’m sorry, I admit that I spoke too loudly just now…”

"Brother Xuan Ce's heart is really impressive." After Zhang Zhenxuan bowed to Wang Xuance, he also had a learned expression on his face: "I, Zhang Zhenxuan, don't think I'm stupid, but after listening to your words today, I know that the truth lies in the subtleties..."

“Brother Zhenxuan, you are too kind.” Wang Xuance saw Zhang Zhenxuan saluting him, and he immediately broke free from the arms of His Royal Highness the King of Chu and saluted Zhang Zhenxuan in return. The thunder on the Qingliang River that day still haunted him until now: “After all, these people’s calculations are nothing to you…”

“Brother Xuan Ce, you didn’t treat me like this before…” Yuan Tiangang, who was standing aside, became unhappy when he saw this: “And His Royal Highness the King of Chu…” - When did this old man ever hesitate when beating up his retainers?

It only appeared once today when I was arguing with Zhang Zhenxuan, but... I think His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu also did it because of his status as a priest of the other family...

It’s true... it’s nice to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade.

Alas... When will I, Gangzi... Pah! When will I be able to become a priest...

Well... Master... when will he be able to ascend to heaven like the old Heavenly Master?

It must be said that among the retainers of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, there are also filial sons.

"What's wrong with me?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu found that Yuan Tiangang really had a lot of skills - especially the one of "bringing up irrelevant things": "Have you forgotten who stood up for you in the depths of Qinling Mountains? Besides, if I hadn't stopped you that time, Dou Shu'er would have punished you!"

"Your Highness," Zhang Zhenxuan was also smart. Seeing that His Highness the King of Chu seemed to be criticized by his colleagues for being lenient to him, he immediately demonstrated what was meant by "the difference between a worshiper and a retainer." He took out a palm-sized gourd from his arms and handed it to His Highness the King of Chu: "I know that I made some mistakes before and angered Your Highness, so I am giving you this as an apology. I hope you will accept it and not take it to heart."

"What is this?" His Highness the Prince of Chu said he disliked it, but his body was still very honest. After taking the gourd, he shook it casually and found a rustling sound coming from inside the gourd. So he subconsciously asked, "Is this filled with elixirs?"

"These are just some pills for strengthening the body," Zhang Zhenxuan smiled slightly when he heard this. "My great-grandfather asked He Weng to bring a letter to me a few days ago. In the letter, he said that he knew you loved your youngest sister very much, so he asked me to refine these pills for strengthening the body that I ate when I was a child, as a way to help you."

"Have you eaten it when you were a child?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu was mostly skeptical about elixirs.

"Your Highness, although they are called elixirs, they are actually just some hand-rolled pills. The main ingredient is licorice, and the auxiliary ingredients are just some mild medicinal herbs. Of course, if you want to open a furnace to refine the elixir, that's not impossible, but it will take a long time. And I can tell you for sure that if you only refine this kind of pills, the effect of refining the elixir in the furnace will probably not be better than making it directly into pills." Zhang Zhenxuan answered honestly after hearing this.

"Why didn't you tell me it was a pill earlier?!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu glared at Zhang Zhenxuan unhappily, and then he realized that this fellow didn't know that he had a "still alive" stupid brother at home: "Zhenxuan, get me more of these pills later, I will use them."

"Your Highness, these pills are for children under three years old. Why do you need so many? Besides, I estimate that after the little princess finishes taking these pills, she will be free of disease and no disaster until she reaches adulthood - at least that was the case with me back then."

"Don't I have a stupid brother who is the same age as Sizi, but not as pretty, smart, or lovable as her?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu sighed after saying this: "But he is my biological brother after all..."

"Why haven't I heard you mention it before..."

"How can a family scandal be made public for no reason?"

"Ah?" Zhang Zhenxuan was stunned after hearing the patriarch's answer.

"The brat's greatest skill now is to spit on my face and neck. Do you think I would bring this up for no reason?" After saying this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly glared at a certain place in the east of the city with hatred: "I said that my mother was wronged when she was pregnant, so it is impossible that there would be no mistakes..."

"Your Highness..." Xuan Ce was so smart that he immediately caught the hidden resentment in His Highness' words: "This... This is irrelevant..."

Who knows, maybe the little prince is just doing this for fun.

“I am just talking~~” His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw Wang Xuance trying to persuade him and immediately waved his hand: “Okay, okay, let’s not talk about this anymore.”

After the King of Chu finished speaking, he opened the gourd on the spot and poured a few pills into his palm: "Zhenxuan, did you wash your hands when you rubbed the pills? And this black... why does it look so much like sheep dung? Speaking of sheep dung... well... I don't know if Steward Yu later ate the sheep dung that I secretly mixed into his medicine box... Alas... Speaking of which, I miss him a lot..."

"..." If he hadn't heard the last sentence of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Zhang Zhenxuan would have wanted to answer, but now...

He didn't want to say anything.

He wants to go back to Zhongnan Mountain.

The people down the mountain are so crazy!

At this moment, Yuan Tiangang and Wang Xuance, who were already accustomed to this, looked at each other, and both sides understood the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Alas... maybe this is fate...

"It's quite sweet~~" His Highness the King of Chu, who had no idea what his retainers were thinking at the moment, put the pill into his mouth, tasted it first, and then gave his own evaluation: "Sizi should like it."

"Your Highness, are we still going to the Honglu Temple?" Wang Xuance asked immediately when he saw His Highness the King of Chu carefully put the gourd into his arms.

"Go ahead," His Royal Highness the King of Chu raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. "That bastard Quan Gaisuwen is just trying to sow discord between me and my elder brother while we're letting him go back to his country. How ridiculous! Who am I? And who is my elder brother?! There are no brothers in this world who are more friendly and respectful to each other than the two of us!"

"Your Highness is right." After His Highness the King of Chu said this proudly, Wang Xuance pursed his lips and gave his own evaluation: "Speaking of which, I now find the phrase 'brotherly friendship and respect' even more unpleasant to the eye."

"Are you being sarcastic to me?" His Highness the King of Chu did not expect that with Zhang Zhenxuan as a troublemaker, Xuan Ce would actually start to learn bad things. "Xuan Ce, I'm warning you, what I hate most is my retainers being sarcastic to me. It's okay with Dou Shu'er and Jiang Gong, I respect them because they are older, so I won't make a fuss about it, but you guys, if you continue to be so ignorant, I'll beat you up!"
