East Palace.

apse.

"Why is there no Hu Fei's name? Did he miss it? How come Cai Yuanji is becoming more and more careless?!"

Zhu Biao frowned and said dissatisfied while flipping through the booklet in his hand.

Although he was searching, he only looked back and forth on the first two pages and did not continue to look back, because in his heart, Hu Fei could not do too badly in the exam.

"Your Highness, you have misunderstood Master Cai. Hu Fei's name is on it."

Listening to Zhu Biao's accusation, Xiao Qi said slowly with a bitter face.

"Is there any? Then why didn't I find it?!"

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.

"That's because his name is on the last page..."

Xiao Qi grimaced and said in a low voice.

After hearing Xiao Qi's words, Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, hesitated in disbelief, and then hurriedly turned to the last page. As soon as he lowered his head, he saw Hu Fei's name.

"the last one?!"

When Zhu Biao saw Hu Fei's name and grades, he couldn't help but exclaimed with disbelief on his face.

Xiao Qi grimaced and did not dare to speak.

In fact, he had already seen the results above and knew that Hu Fei ranked last in the exam, so he delayed submitting the booklet to Zhu Biao.

"Except for archery and calligraphy, he actually failed me in everything?!"

"Is this the worst performance of the Imperial College since its establishment?!"

"a ha ha ha..."

Zhu Biao laughed angrily, held up the booklet in his hand, looked at Xiao Qi, and said loudly.

As the words fell, his whole face became gloomy.

"Your Highness, maybe he just made a mistake..."

Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment, wanting to explain to calm Zhu Biao's mood, but when he saw Zhu Biao's gloomy expression in the middle of his words, he hurriedly stopped and lowered his head.

"Mistake?! He was the one who I personally begged my father to order him to enroll in the Imperial College. Fortunately for him, he actually gave me the worst score in history!"

"Where can I put my face? This is simply unreasonable!"

Zhu Biao stared at Xiao Qi and shouted angrily.

Xiao Qi lowered his head and didn't dare to talk, and didn't dare to express his anger. It was obviously Hu Fei who had annoyed the prince, but he didn't expect that he had become a punching bag, and he had scolded Hu Fei in his heart.

"That's all! With his results, I don't think he will go to the Imperial Academy anymore! He won't want to participate in the Spring Festival after the new year either!"

Zhu Biao threw the booklet in his hand at Xiao Qi's feet and said through gritted teeth.

"Your Highness, calm down."

Xiao Qi hurriedly picked up the booklet, put it in his arms, held his hands and said comfortingly.

"I originally wanted to invite him to the East Palace for a banquet before the New Year, but now it seems that he is not worthy at all!"

Zhu Biao stood up, paced back and forth, and said angrily.

Xiao Qi froze on the spot, not daring to say another word.

...

at dusk.

Hu Mansion.

Linglong Court.

In the study, Hu Fei lay tiredly on the desk, covering his head with a piece of Hanlin Daily, sitting cross-legged on a chair, picking his feet with worry.

"Young Master, are you still worried about New Year's gifts?"

At the door of the study, Dong Yan looked at Hu Fei in the study and asked in a low voice to Chun Die next to him.

As the New Year is coming, the four girls no longer stay outside in spring, summer, autumn and winter. They will return to the house before dark every day. They don't have to continue to be busy in Hongbin Building, Hanlin Xuan and Hui Feng Bank until closing time. In Hu Fei's words,

He said it was a holiday for them.

"Yes, this is the first time for the young master to prepare a New Year's gift, so he must be unfamiliar with it."

Chundie nodded and said helplessly.

In the past, the young master would not prepare any New Year's gifts, as long as he did not force others to give them to him. But this year is different. Not only did he take the initiative to prepare New Year's gifts for His Majesty and the Crown Prince, but he also made several new clothes for each of them.

, it’s like the sun is coming out in the west.

"The New Year's gift given to His Majesty and the Prince should indeed be given more attention. It is not easy to decide whether it is too light or too heavy."

Dong Yan hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

Chundie nodded, turned around and looked at the young master who was still worried in the study, and sighed helplessly.

While the two were talking, Hu Weiyong suddenly walked in from the front yard with a dark face, holding a booklet in his hand, and went straight to the study.

"Master is here."

Dong Yan noticed Hu Weiyong immediately and reminded him in a low voice.

"I've met the master."

Spring Butterfly came back to her senses, and hurriedly saluted Hu Weiyong with Dong Yan, who was approaching quickly.

But Hu Weiyong ignored them at all, walked directly into the study, and smashed the book in his hand directly on Hu Fei's head!

Hu Fei, who was meditating hard under the Hanlin Daily, suddenly felt a sharp pain on his head. Then he straightened up with a grin on his face, took off the Hanlin Daily covering his head, and looked angrily at the place where the footsteps came from.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Hu Weiyong who was even angrier than him.

"Old guy, are you crazy?!"

Hu Fei stared at the angry Hu Weiyong and asked loudly and dissatisfied.

"You brat, I want to ask you, are you crazy?"

"Do you know how many people you have made me lose?!"

Hu Weiyong stared at Hu Fei and shouted hysterically.

"Why are you so crazy?!"

"Where did the evil fire come from for no reason?!"

Hu Fei was stunned for a moment and asked dissatisfiedly.

"See for yourself! It's best to give a reasonable explanation, otherwise I will skin you!"

Hu Weiyong pointed to the booklet that fell on the desk and said loudly.

Hu Fei hesitated for a moment, picked up the book and took a look at it, and immediately understood the reason why Hu Weiyong was so angry.

"What's wrong?"

Hu Fei glanced at it, threw the book down, spread his hands and asked.

"What else happened?! You became the worst candidate in the history of the Imperial College! The most famous, but the worst results?!"

"This matter will soon spread throughout the capital. Where do you want me to show my face by then? I will definitely be laughed out of my mouth!"

Hu Weiyong stared and said loudly.

"Do you care about your own face or your own life?"

After listening to Hu Weiyong's words, Hu Fei couldn't help but frown, stared into Hu Weiyong's eyes, and asked in a deep voice word by word.

Hearing Hu Fei's words, Hu Weiyong suddenly froze, his expression froze, and he seemed to suddenly realize something.

"You guys go down first!"

Immediately afterwards, Hu Weiyong glanced at Chun Die and Dong Yan who were standing outside the door and were a little confused, waved his hand and said, and then closed the study door.

Spring Die and Dong Yan agreed, bowed and hurriedly left, but at the same time they were worried about the young master.

They didn't expect that the young master actually got the first place in the history exam.

"What do you mean?"

After closing the door, Hu Weiyong took two steps, sat on the chair next to him, and asked with a solemn expression.

"You have kept a low profile so much, but some people still regard you as a threat and impeach you from time to time. But I do the opposite, just to make those people jump out, because once you and I hide our edge,

Your Majesty will definitely be more suspicious. When the time comes, no one will need to impeach you, and Your Majesty himself will be afraid of the Hu family."

"So my sharp edge is the key to protecting your life. However, if I show my sharp edge in everything and amaze everyone in everything, then before Your Majesty fully trusts me, I will become an object of fear for everyone! They

You will feel that I have hidden it too deeply, and you will blame all of this on your plan!"

"When the time comes, even if you and I have a hundred mouths, we won't be able to argue."
