Chu Tian withdrew his emotions and regained his usual expression. He nodded. “Heir, anything I can do for you?”

Zhou Huailing stretched out his arms, telling Chu Tian to take a walk with him.

Chu Tian nodded and walked side by side with Zhou Huailing.

“Since father has assigned you to keep me company to deal with Li County, I believe that I have to be taken care of by you these days. I am an experienced person, but I am still too young to deal with many other things. I hope that you can help me with some decisions. I believe that it is also what my father expects you to do for me.”

“…”

“I think that father doesn’t mean that I should take this errand over. It should be you, Prime Minister Chu, who is in charge. I hope to learn a few more new things from you on the trip to Li County, and I hope you won’t find me too annoying,” Zhou Huailing said with a look of respect.

However, a touch of sharpness was flashing across his eyebrows.

Chu Tian looked slightly surprised.

Chu Tian had been the Prime Minister for many years, and he had been trained not to show any expression in the court, but today, he was too surprised to conceal his true feelings.

The Heir was talking as if he were demeaning himself to flatter him. He was trying to get Chu Tian to his side by bringing his own status down.

That had never happened before.

The Heir was an arrogant person and now he was married to the Phoenix Girl. Therefore, many people had taken his side, so he had not yet spoken with the Prime Minister at this point.

The Heir had been picking on him because he had not taken his side, and even Chu Yu was always picked on by the Heir and the Young Master of the Gu Family. However at this moment, the Heir suddenly belittled himself, trying to get him on his side.

That was very unexpected.

People would assume that he had changed his mind, but Chu Tian still decided not to take a side, so he was not going to lean to the Heir just because he had said a few nice words.

He was still holding onto his own principles and attitudes.

He replied with a few words of respect. “Heir, since the King has entrusted me to help you with the matter at Li County, I will definitely devote myself to helping you, please don’t worry. As for learning new things from me… I am just older than you and that is all. You, the Heir, are a really promising, outstanding man. I am sure that the civilians from Li County will get through this issue very soon, and there will not be any remaining consequences that come after this.”

Hearing what Chu Tian said, Zhou Huailing stiffened.

He had expressed himself so clearly, but Chu Tian, this foxy man, had not yet expressed his intention to take his side. He would never have spoken with him about this in the past, but Junyi told him to be polite to Chu Tian. That was why he did this.

Junyi was working for his sake. Also, Junyi was right about father assigning Prime Minister Chu to keep him company in Li County.

It seemed that Junyi had some ideas going on in his mind. He was going to speak with Junyi about what happened with Prime Minister Chu today.

It took Zhou Huailing a long while before he managed to regain his emotions. He replied politely, “Thank you for your compliments, Prime Minister Chu.”

After he finished speaking, he hurried back to his own mansion.

He was going to ask Junyi what he thought about this situation.
