Chapter 104 He Pooped
Chapter 104 He Pooped
The second prince had never dealt with such a situation before, and he was completely flustered.
Half an hour has passed, and judging from Gu Linglong's expression, she's definitely about to poop.
"Has the nanny arrived?"
The guards dragged and pulled the old woman over, and the Second Prince quickly stuffed Gu Linglong into the old woman's hands, treating her like a hot potato.
"She...she...she seems to need to poop."
The old woman calmed herself down, wondering what had happened to the young lady; that short walk had given her quite a fright.
"It's normal for the young lady to be so young. Just leave it to me to handle."
"Here you go, here you go."
The nanny carried Gu Linglong to another room to change her diaper before returning.
"Your Highness, the young lady has been changed."
"Um"
The second prince then picked her up again and explained, "I'm not saying I dislike you, it's just that men and women are different, you understand?"
Gu Linglong secretly rolled her eyes.
The second prince entered the room: "Let's stop our discussion here for today, everyone can leave."
The staff members all took their leave, but one person lingered in the corner.
The man approached and bowed: "Greetings, Second Prince."
The second prince nodded. This was a staff member he valued highly. Although she was a woman, she was quite capable.
She wore a purple men's robe with a black and gold belt around her waist. The robe looked a little loose on her, but it also added to her rebellious beauty.
"I have something I'd like to say to the Second Prince alone."
The second prince nodded and handed Gu Linglong to the nanny: "Take Miss out to play."
"Yes"
Gu Linglong glanced at the newcomer. [Oh, isn't this Lin Xiaoxiao? Why is she dressed so inappropriately?]
The second prince was slightly surprised; she actually knew him?
The second prince couldn't help but laugh when he saw the person dressed so incongruously in front of him.
Lin Xiaoxiao: "?"
The second prince turned to the nanny and said, "Let's leave her here for now. I'll take her out to play myself after we're done talking."
"Yes"
The nanny took a few steps back while holding Gu Linglong.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the baby in the nanny's arms and found him somewhat familiar, but she didn't recognize him.
No wonder she didn't recognize her; she had stolen a portion of Gu Linglong's luck, causing Gu Linglong to lose weight rapidly, while the baby changed quickly, regaining all the weight she had lost.
Lin Xiaoxiao asked sheepishly, "What is the Second Prince laughing at?"
[Ding! System detected that the target's affection level is 80%, up 1%]
So the Second Prince was laughing because of her?
Lin Xiaoxiao felt smug. She touched her hair shyly, forgetting that she was dressed as a man.
Making such a movement again feels out of place; it looks strange and even more incongruous.
The second prince frowned: "What is it?"
"Your Highness, I have a golden opportunity that can allow you to amass a large fortune in a short period of time."
The second prince, intrigued, raised an eyebrow: "Oh? What brilliant plan do you have? Tell me quickly."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked hesitant and glanced at the nanny.
The Second Prince turned to look at Gu Linglong: "It's alright, they're our own people, and besides, they're too far away to hear."
"Sit down and talk."
When the Second Prince turned around, Gu Linglong smiled at him. He was in a good mood, so he poured Lin Xiaoxiao a cup of tea. Lin Xiaoxiao was flattered, but soon felt that it was only right.
It seems the Second Prince has also become her admirer.
"Your Highness, it has been more than three months since it last rained. Judging from the weather, there may be a severe drought this year."
The second prince was suddenly startled: "A severe drought?"
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded solemnly: "A severe drought means a poor harvest or even no harvest at all. Grain prices will inevitably skyrocket. If we buy a large amount of grain now, we can sell it at a high price later."
"Actually, grain prices have already started to rise, and to be honest, Your Highness, I've already earned several hundred taels of silver."
The second prince frowned. The severe drought was a major event for the entire country. There was no harvest, people were displaced, and taxes could not be collected.
How can we make money like this?
Although he was arrogant and haughty, he still understood this principle: water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.
Seeing him lost in thought, Lin Xiaoxiao softly called out, "Your Highness, are you listening?"
"Hmm, go ahead," the Second Prince said, taking a sip of tea.
"When the world suffers a severe drought and crops fail, there will be countless refugees. If Your Highness has grain to share His Majesty's burden, His Majesty will surely value the Second Prince even more."
These words reminded the second prince that he should go and stockpile grain, especially coarse rice, so that he could build soup kitchens and distribute porridge later.
At that time, his image in the eyes of the people will definitely be very tall and mighty, hahahahaha, the Second Prince laughed smugly in his heart.
The Second Prince nodded to Lin Xiaoxiao: "As expected of my honored guest, your talent and strategies are unparalleled."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled knowingly and accepted the well-deserved praise.
Gu Linglong, who was behind her, chuckled. "Drought? Drought my foot! It'll rain in less than three days!"
The second prince paused, thinking, "Impossible! Lin Xiaoxiao's predictions have always come true. She claims she can perform divination."
Not only did it rain, but this year's harvest is also exceptionally good.
A good harvest? Then buying grain now would just mean losing money, wouldn't it? Even buying brown rice would result in a loss!
The second prince was caught in a dilemma.
Lin Xiaoxiao volunteered, "If Your Highness trusts me, you can entrust the task to me. I will definitely handle it perfectly for Your Highness."
Just make a little profit from the price difference!
Oh, I get it, she wants to make money off you.
Wait a minute, Lin Xiaoxiao disguised herself as a man and came to the Second Prince's residence as an advisor—could it be that she's trying to seduce the Second Prince?
Raiders?
What do you mean?
[Lin Xiaoxiao is really clever. Although he's a supporting character, his luck is much stronger than that of ordinary people, especially since he's a prince.]
Gu Linglong watched the two of them with amusement. [Lin Xiaoxiao is going to absorb the second brother's luck!]
Indeed, the system indicated that Lin Xiaoxiao had already won over 80% of the team, but relying solely on her role as a staff member, her favorability rating was unlikely to increase.
The only solution now is to make the Second Prince completely subservient to her.
Inhale and circulate energy? Is there really such a bizarre thing in the world?
The second prince looked up at Lin Xiaoxiao but didn't notice anything different about her compared to the others.
[Ding! System detected that the target's affection level has decreased by 5%, current affection level is 75%]
Lin Xiaoxiao: "..."
Could it be that the Second Prince guessed that she was going to make a profit from the price difference?
Lin Xiaoxiao quickly added, "It's the same whether Your Highness entrusts it to someone else; they will all serve Your Highness."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled faintly, using what she considered the most beautiful angle.
[Oh dear, Lin Xiaoxiao is going to seduce the second brother. Once he's completely in love with her and his affection level reaches 100%, she can absorb his luck. Tsk tsk tsk]
Favorability rating? The Second Prince's eyes were dark and unfathomable at this moment. One hand was on the table, while the other hand was turning a teacup.
[Ding! System detected that the target's affection level has decreased by 5%, current affection level is 70%]
Lin Xiaoxiao: "?"
Excuse me, didn't she do anything right?
Did she say something wrong? Did the Second Prince actually want to give her this job?
