The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

The dishes in Zui Xiang Lou are famous in Shengjing City for their delicious appearance, aroma and taste. Even a plate of plain tofu can be sold at a sky-high price of ten taels of silver.

Most of those who could enter Zui Xiang Lou to dine were high-ranking officials, royal relatives, and wealthy businessmen with some assets.

However, the owner behind Zui Xiang Lou would occasionally hold a literary gathering, providing free venue and tea, inviting scholars and literati in the city to come and recite poems, or discuss various gossips, or the direction of the imperial examinations...

There is a literary gathering being held in the building today and it is very lively.

This was the first time Xie Xi took his concubine out of the house for a meal, so he would naturally not choose to sit in the lobby.

"Go to the private room on the second floor."

"Okay, I'll listen to your highness."

Lu Xiaoxiao had never been interested in this kind of poetry recitation and writing. She was just waiting to eat and didn't even bother to look at it. She followed Xie Xi upstairs.

The shopkeeper led the way attentively and opened the door of the Tianzi Room: "Your Highness, please come this way."

Xie Xi nodded slightly, strode in, and sat down at the table.

Lu Xiaoxiao hurriedly followed and sat opposite Xie Xi, raised her little face and looked at him eagerly.

[I’m so hungry, I don’t know how long I have to wait before I can eat]

[In my current condition, I can eat a whole pig! ]

"cough"

Xie Xi suppressed the smile that was about to spill out of his lips, clenched his fist and coughed lightly: "Boss, give me four signature dishes from Zui Xiang Lou, and a portion of braised pork trotters."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up.

[Ahhh, His Highness actually ordered my favorite braised pork trotter! ]

[How can I not love such a highness!? ]

[He really is, I love him so much! ]

Xie Xi: “…”

Hearing Lu Fengyi's frank and honest thoughts, Xie Xi's earlobes turned red unconsciously.

Xie Xi took a deep breath, waved his hand to let the shopkeeper go out, and asked Mu Qing to guard the door of the private room.

He took a sip from the teacup and casually said, "My mother mentioned to me that my fourth brother has been a bit naughty lately, and has been obsessed with eating, drinking and having fun. He has been very close to the playboy of the Dong family and is really difficult to discipline. My mother is having a headache. I wonder if Lu Fengyi has any solution?"

"?"

Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned by the question.

[Why would Your Highness ask me about this? ]

[However, the Fourth Prince has a bad temper? He only cares about eating, drinking and having fun? That's all fake! ]

[Your Highness, please be more careful and don't be fooled by the scheming Fourth Prince! ]

[The Fourth Prince is best at disguising himself and hiding himself. The dude from the Dong family hates the Fourth Prince the most! ]

[Normally, the Dong family's playboy would avoid the Fourth Prince as soon as he saw him. How could he possibly get close to him? Moreover, the Dong family's playboy often privately told his friends that the Fourth Prince was hypocritical and difficult to deal with, and was quite cunning, so he should not be befriended...]

[Alas, now your Highness is completely defenseless against the Fourth Prince, so how should I remind your Highness that the Fourth Prince wants to seize his throne? ]

Xie Xi's eyes dimmed slightly, and the hands hanging by his side slowly clenched into fists.

After thinking for a while, Lu Xiaoxiao said tentatively: "Your Highness, I am not familiar with the Fourth Prince, and it is not appropriate for me to speak nonsense in front of Your Highness."

[I don't know if Your Highness will believe what I say. ]

"..."

Xie Xi really wanted to know where Lu Fengyi learned all these things from and whether he had any adventures.

But Xie Xi also knew in his heart that the secret of heaven could not be revealed. Now that he could hear Lu Fengyi's inner voice, it was the greatest gift God had given him.

As for his fourth brother, he would send someone else to confirm it with the playboy from the Dong family.

If everything is as Lu Fengyi said, then he should make other plans.

Xie Xi lowered his eyes, hiding the sadness in his eyes: "Lu Fengyi, don't be afraid. I just suddenly remembered this matter. If Lu Fengyi doesn't want to talk about it, it's okay."

Lu Xiaoxiao: ...

[So do you want me to say it or not? ]

Lu Xiaoxiao was struggling with her feelings when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. Then she heard Mu Qing, who was standing outside the door, say, "Your Highness, the food is here."

Hearing this, Xie Xi subconsciously glanced at Lu Xiaoxiao, only to see that she was staring straight at the door.

[It smells so good, eh, I seem to smell the aroma of braised pig's trotters! ]

[Eating is important, eating is a passion, nothing is more important than eating! 】

Xie Xi was helpless: "Come in."

With a creak, the door was pushed open and Mu Qing brought in the food and placed it on the table one by one.

After that, Mu Qing went out and closed the door.

The fragrant braised pork trotters almost made Lu Xiaoxiaoxiang dizzy.

Lu Xiaoxiao quickly picked up the chopsticks and was about to reach into the dish of braised pork trotters in front of Xie Xi. Suddenly, she stopped and looked at Xie Xi with her round almond eyes: "Your Highness, try it first."

"it is good."

Xie Xi calmly picked up a piece of tofu and put it in the bowl, then moved the braised pork trotter in front of him to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Lu Fengyi, try it."

[Your Highness is so kind! ]

Lu Xiaoxiao picked up a piece of pig's trotter, lowered her head and took a bite, and immediately exclaimed happily: "Your Highness, this is so delicious!"

[Host, host, the system has a mission]

Lu Xiaoxiao:?

She had just taken a bite when Jiujiu popped out, scaring her so much that she almost choked to death.

Lu Xiaoxiao swallowed the pig's trotter in her mouth, [Can't you let me have a good meal first? Why do you suddenly send me a mission? ]

Jiujiu: [Host, Jiujiu doesn't want to do this either, but this mission is urgent.]

Lu Xiaoxiao: [Okay, let the system issue the task]

[Ding! The progress of helping Crown Prince Xie Xi ascend the throne is 0. Task is now activated: Recruit talents for Crown Prince Xie Xi, prevent Prince Huaijun from getting to know the Fourth Prince, and pull Prince Huaijun into the camp of Crown Prince Xie Xi]

[In addition, the system detects that Prince Huaijun is about to meet with the Fourth Prince. Please go over and stop him as soon as possible.]

[Complete the task to get 100 points, open the points mall, and fail the task to be struck by lightning]

"..."

Xie Xi originally wanted to tell Lu Fengyi about the chef in Zui Xiang Lou, but was caught off guard by the word "mission".

What is the task?

Xie Xi pursed his lips, stared at Lu Xiaoxiao, and couldn't help but listen carefully.

Lu Xiaoxiao was really pissed off by this crappy mission.

Even the pig's trotters in the bowl don't smell good anymore.

[It’s fine if I was asked to recruit talents for His Highness, but why should I be struck by lightning if the mission fails? ]

Jiujiu: [Host, I’m sorry, this is stipulated by the main system]

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

[It's bad luck to meet a task while eating! 】

[However, even if you want me to stop Master Huaijun and the Fourth Prince from meeting, you should first tell me where Master Huaijun is right now, right? ]

Afraid that the Crown Prince would notice her abnormality, Lu Xiaoxiao pretended to be eating seriously while catching Jiujiu trying to find a way to slip away.

Little did she know that Xie Xi had heard her thoughts clearly.

Although he didn't know who assigned the task to Lu Fengyi, he just heard that Lu Fengyi wanted to recruit talents for him?

If the mission fails, will you be struck by lightning?

Xie Xi frowned, feeling a little uneasy: Also, who is Mr. Huaijun? Why did Lu Fengyi stop Mr. Huaijun from meeting his fourth brother?

For a moment, the Tianzi Room was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Xie Xi was confused, but didn't dare to ask directly.

Lu Xiaoxiao caught Jiujiu and asked him about the situation.

Jiujiu: [Host, Young Master Huaijun is currently attending a literary gathering at Zuixiang Tower, and the Fourth Prince is on his way to Zuixiang Tower.]

[Master Huaijun is attending a literary gathering in Zuixianglou! ? ]

Lu Xiaoxiao was startled. She raised her head and secretly glanced at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

He was caught off guard and met Xie Xi's surprised gaze: "Lu Fengyi, is the food not to your taste?"

"No, Your Highness, I have already eaten."

Lu Xiaoxiao picked up a handkerchief, wiped the corners of her lips, and struggled to move her eyes away from the dish of braised pork trotters.

[Wuwuwu, I'm sorry, my braised pork trotter, I can only eat you after I complete the task. ]

Xie Xi followed her line of sight and put down his chopsticks. "I heard that there is a literary gathering downstairs today. I wonder if Lu Fengyi is interested in going down to take a look?"

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at him in shock.

[Your Highness, could it be that you and I have a telepathic connection? ]

Xie Xi rarely felt guilty. He clenched his fist and coughed softly, then asked in a gentle voice, "Lu Fengyi, do you want to come with us?"

"I want it!"

Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly came back to her senses.

[I have to go check on Mr. Huaijun first, and then find a way to intercept the Fourth Prince.]

[Can this broken system be upgraded? You have to meet the mission target to unlock the relevant plot]

Jiujiu: [Dear host, system upgrade requires one thousand points]

Lu Xiaoxiao: ...
