Chapter 267 - Romantic Encounter (1/2)

“Yu Xiaocao, help this prince change. I need to go out!”

“Why do I need to help you change your clothes? Don’t you have a lot of maidservants at your house?” Yu Xiaocao was irritated. She had to wash his face, comb his hair, and feed him. Sometimes, she also had to cook the dishes that he requested in the small kitchen. Now, she also had to help him change his clothes. Was he really taking her as a maidservant?

Zhu Junyang looked at the maidservants, who were assigned by his lady mother, with disdain. His gaze was as cold as snow as he said, “This prince hates being served by people with impure intentions. It makes me feel disgusted!”

When the maidservants heard this, their faces were ghastly pale and dripping with cold sweat as they kneeled on the ground, trembling. These maidservants were all carefully selected by the princess consort. Their figures and appearance were considered more outstanding within the estate. Seeing that her youngest son was already seventeen years old, Princess Consort Jing reckoned that it was time for him to understand certain things. Thus, she picked out several bed-servants for her son. Although this matter wasn’t explicitly stated, the maidservants all clearly knew within their hearts.

The young royal prince had a cold and indifferent temper, but he was handsome, had a high status, and was trusted by the emperor. Thus, he would surely have a bright future. To be able to the young master’s bed-servant, if they could give birth to one or two offsprings, the mother’s position would definitely rise due to the child. There was no hope of being his ranked concubine, but becoming the concubine of the royal prince would be the best outcome for the maidservants.

For this position of the bed-servant, not only did the maidservants fight openly and secretly in private, but from time to time, they also tried to get closer to Zhu Junyang. They wanted to show their faces more in order to gain a more favorable impression. Unbeknownst to them, with his special ability, Zhu Junyang could clearly detect their strong desires, which made him feel repulsed. He would rather do things himself, or have Head Steward Liu serve him, than let those maidservants with ulterior motives get close to him.

After hurting his arms, Zhu Junyang began ordering Yu Xiaocao around in a right and self-confident manner. Although he couldn’t detect Yu Xiaocao’s feelings, the scent from her body could give him a sense of peace and tranquility, which made him want to get closer to her.

Poor Yu Xiaocao was temporarily used as a worker, and was ordered until she was screaming and yelling. Her energetic appearance made small ripples in Zhu Junyang’s character, which was like a pool of dead water. After meeting Yu Xiaocao, the people around Zhu Junyang, especially Princess Consort Jing, could all clearly feel the change in her son. This was something that she was very happy to see.

At this time, Yu Xiaocao was still doing her best to get out of this situation, “You don’t like to be served by the maidservants, but don’t you still have Head Steward Liu?”

Head Steward Liu, who was standing on the side and watching the show, suddenly got dragged in. He naturally wouldn’t ruin his master’s ‘happy matters’, so he immediately put away the smile on his face and solemnly said, “Master, this servant will go accomplish the task that you assigned to me this morning!” After saying that, he hurriedly went out the door, as if someone behind him was trying to chase him out.

‘Completing a task that was assigned in the morning now? Who is he kidding!! So, you want to play with me?’

Yu Xiaocao refused to work, “I was invited to help you, the young royal prince, to cure your injury, so I should be considered half a doctor, right? Is this how you guys treat doctors who help treat patients, heal wounds, and rescue those who are dying? From now on, I won’t do anything other than my duties as a doctor!! Don’t even think of telling me to do things like help you change your clothes. I’m not your family’s servant!”

Seeing that the little kitten was angry, Zhu Junyang pretended to be pitiful, “Alright! This prince will change myself…”

As he said that, he straightened his arms, took a set of clothes from the wardrobe, and spread it out on the bed. He turned his body around and tried to poke his ramrod straight right arm into the sleeve of the garment on the bed. Once, twice… As if the clothes were deliberately against him, no matter what, his arms couldn’t go in.

Yu Xiaocao looked at the young royal prince’s sweaty face. Feeling somewhat softhearted, she picked up the clothes on the bed and carelessly put it on for him. A complacent smile appeared within Zhu Junyang’s eyes, ‘This lass is the epitome of someone who has a sharp tongue but soft heart. I knew she would be willing to compromise.’

After helping the young prince put on his clothes, Yu Xiaocao pouted even more and sullenly said, “It’s done. Hurry up and leave!”

“This prince is bored from staying at home recently, so I want to walk around in Tanggu Town. However, I’m not very familiar with Tanggu Town. I need a guide…” Zhu Junyang glanced at her and slowly said.

Yu Xiaocao had already resigned to her fate. This guy really knew how to make trouble for others. She could only anticipate that his arms would get better soon so that she could escape from this torture.

“Where do you want to go? Tell me!” Yu Xiaocao asked in low spirits.

Zhu Junyang couldn’t bear to see her being so lifeless, but he felt that Yu Xiaocao had been trapped in the compound for the past two days. She had never been indoors for so long like this. He was afraid that she would feel stuffy and bored, so he used different ways to give her things to do. But, it seemed like the other party didn’t understand his good intentions ah!

“Let’s just stroll on the street and relax!” Zhu Junyang turned around and headed out. Yu Xiaocao hastily followed him. When they were about to reach the main entrance, Head Steward Liu suddenly came out of nowhere and silently followed them.

As soon as they went out of the residence, there was a bustling street that was lined with various shops. Zhu Junyang walked leisurely on the street, and both of his arms were hanging to his sides without the slightest movement. It looked somewhat funny, but it didn’t affect the amount of attention he attracted at all. Who let him have such a devilishly attractive face?
