Hu Mansion.

Linglong Court.

Early in the morning, Hu Fei was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by a knock on the door.

"Master, Master, it's time to get up. Someone is coming from the East Palace!"

Pei Jie knocked on the door and reminded in a low voice.

In the courtyard, Xiao Qi stood upright, looking at Pei Jie who was asking Hu Fei to get up, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

Pei Jie has been calling at the door for a long time, but there has been no movement inside. He even thought that the young master had fallen asleep.

"It's so noisy!"

Suddenly, a sharp shout came from the room!

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of light in the air, and a cold light shot out from the door panel in an instant following the words, almost grazing Pei Jie's ears in a flash!

The thing happened so suddenly that Pei Jie was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but feel nervous, and turned around quickly to look.

The cold light continued unabated and headed straight for Xiao Qi who was standing in the courtyard!

Xiao Qi's expression changed slightly. He was about to reach out and draw the knife, but then he realized something was wrong and hurriedly stepped aside!

There was a crisp sound, and Pei Jie and Xiao Qi looked at the ground at the same time, and saw that the cold light had penetrated into the ground, and it was the Golden Dragon Dagger!

Seeing Hu Fei throwing the Golden Dragon Dagger around so casually, Xiao Qi couldn't help but frowned, but didn't say much.

At this moment, the door opened and Hu Fei appeared at the door with a dark face.

He originally wanted to sleep well until he woke up naturally, but he didn't expect to be woken up so early in the morning, which made him feel very unhappy.

Yesterday it was Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, and today it was Zhu Biao. They seemed to really treat him as a piece of cake and fight over him.

"Xiao Qi has met Mr. Hu."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites Mr. Hu to the East Palace for a chat. He also asks Mr. Hu to tidy up as soon as possible. I will wait here."

Xiao Qi glanced at Hu Fei, bowed respectfully, and said slowly.

"Does it have to be now?! Can it be done tomorrow?!"

Hu Fei said with a gloomy face and a little irritably.

"this..."

After hearing Hu Fei's answer, Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

Pei Jie couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and winked at Hu Fei with a forced smile.

"Hold on!"

Hu Fei sighed helplessly, said something casually, and closed the door heavily.

Xiao Qi froze on the spot, his face a little ugly.

After a long time, Hu Fei, who had packed up, slowly walked out of the room, waved to Xiao Qi, and walked straight out.

Pei Jie also quickly followed.

Xiao Qi said nothing and slowly followed behind.

He was just a small guard commander in the East Palace. Although he was trusted by the prince, he did not dare to make any mistakes in front of Hu Fei. After all, Hu Fei was someone who even Li Wenzhong and Xu Da dared to offend.

...

After a long time.

Hu Fei finally followed Xiao Qi into the palace gate and arrived at the East Palace.

In the pavilion in the backyard, Zhu Biao was playing chess with Li Shanchang. When he heard the footsteps, he raised his eyes and then deliberately pretended not to see anything.

"Your Highness, Hu Fei is here."

Xiao Qi walked closer, bowed respectfully, and said softly.

"Your Majesty Hu Fei, please see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"I met the Korean father."

Hu Fei cupped his hands, forced a smile on his face, and said slowly, saluting Zhu Biao and Li Shanchang respectively, which was completely different from when Xiao Qi went to the house to invite him.

Although this was his first time meeting Li Shanchang, based on Li Shanchang's age and his ability to play chess face to face with Zhu Biao, he could guess Li Shanchang's identity at a glance.

"Here you go, sit down."

When Zhu Biao heard Hu Fei's words, he looked up at Hu Fei, smiled, pointed to a futon next to him, and said slowly.

Li Shanchang, who was sitting opposite Zhu Biao, looked at Hu Fei and showed a meaningful smile, his eyes full of approval.

Hu Fei agreed and sat next to Zhu Biao.

Then, Zhu Biao left Hu Fei aside and continued to play chess with Li Shanchang, looking attentive.

Li Shanchang smiled and said nothing and never spoke to Hu Fei.

Hu Fei sat aside, looking at the plate full of black and white pieces, feeling bored.

He could clearly feel the change in Zhu Biao's attitude. He knew that this was giving him eye drops.

As time passed, Zhu Biao and Li Shanchang seemed to be playing harder and harder, going back and forth with each other, but there was still no winner.

Hu Fei sat so hard that his buttocks almost became calluses and he swayed left and right. He really couldn't sit still. Moreover, he didn't eat anything when he got up in the morning, his stomach was still a little hungry, and his lips were dry.

"Go get me a cup, I'm thirsty."

At this moment, Hu Fei turned to look at Xiao Qi, who was waiting aside, and said as if no one else was watching.

He saw two cups placed next to them, belonging to Zhu Biao and Li Shanchang respectively, but they were not prepared for him.

As a minister, he was the first person who dared to command the East Palace in front of the prince.

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Zhu Biao, but found that Zhu Biao had no reaction, so he could only nodded and slowly turned around and left.

Not long after, Xiao Qi returned with a cup and respectfully placed it in front of Hu Fei.

Hu Fei poured himself a cup of tea, raised his head and drank it in one gulp, not forgetting to smash it in his mouth, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Is there anything to eat? Go and get some. His Royal Highness and Duke Xin must be hungry after playing chess for so long."

Immediately afterwards, Hu Fei looked at Xiao Qi who was standing just now again and said with a smile.

After hearing Hu Fei's words, Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, feeling that Hu Fei regarded this place as his home, and looked at Zhu Biao hesitantly.

Seeing this, the smile on Li Shanchang's face became even bigger, and he looked at Hu Fei with friendly eyes.

"I guess you're hungry yourself?!"

Zhu Biao finally raised his head, looked at Hu Fei, and said dissatisfied.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understands everything clearly, and the subordinates admire him. It may be because he has been working as a hard worker for half a month. He has never had enough to eat and always feels hungry."

"But today I did not have time to have breakfast before I came to say hello to His Highness. I am indeed hungry."

Hu Fei smiled and said to Zhu Biao sheepishly.

Zhu Biao shook his head and turned to gesture to Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi understood immediately and turned around to get food.

"Your Highness, it seems that this game of chess is going to end in a draw, and it is difficult to tell the winner at the moment."

At this time, Li Shanchang also opened his mouth, with a faint smile on his lips.

"It's hard to tell the winner with a fly in your ear."

Zhu Biao glanced at Hu Fei, shook his head and said, throwing down the chess piece in his hand.

Li Shanchang looked at Hu Fei with a smile, shook his head, and put away the black and white chess pieces.

Hu Fei pretended not to hear Zhu Biao's words, poured himself another glass, and drank it all in one gulp. Zhu Biao and Li Shanchang shook their heads.

Tea is meant to be savored carefully, and you need to drink it one sip at a time, but Hu Fei drank it all in one gulp every time, and it looked more like drinking.

"Can you play chess?"

At this moment, Zhu Biao turned to look at Hu Fei and asked curiously.

"meeting."

Hu Fei hesitated for a moment, nodded and said.

"Oh? How about playing a game with me?"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he was obviously surprised and said with some expectation.

He really didn't expect that Hu Fei could even play chess.

"It can happen, but it's not like this."

Hu Fei smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said.

After listening to Hu Fei's words, Zhu Biao hesitated and frowned.
