Hu Mansion.

Linglong Court.

Zhu Yuanzhang's reward of Lan Yu's promotion as Marquis of Yongchang was quickly announced to the outside world. After Hu Weiyong learned about it, he was a little worried for a while, so he hurried to Linglong Garden.

But when he searched the entire Linglong Garden, he found that except for the maid, Hu Fei, Pei Jie, Chun Die and others were no longer in the mansion. After asking around, no one knew where Hu Fei had gone.

Hu Weiyong was a little puzzled for a moment and returned to the front yard with worries.

Tonight is the New Year's banquet. If it were in previous years, he would not be worried. However, this year Hu Fei will also be invited to the palace to attend the New Year's banquet, so he is worried that Lan Yu will embarrass his son at the New Year's banquet.

"Qin Hai!? Qin Hai?!"

After thinking about this, Hu Weiyong became more and more worried, so he planned to send Qin Hai to lead people out to find Hu Fei, who had disappeared early in the morning.

"Master, what happened?"

Upon hearing Hu Weiyong's cry, Qin Hai rushed over and asked worriedly.

"Take someone out immediately to get the young master back to me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Qin Hai and said in a deep voice, his face a little solemn.

"Master, I saw the young master when he left in the morning. It seems that he has something important to do today."

"Did something happen in the house?"

Qin Hai hesitated for a moment and asked slowly.

"You don't need to know, just go out and bring him back to see me immediately, the sooner the better!"

Hu Weiyong waved his hand and said in a deep voice, already a little impatient.

"Master, is it because of Lan Yu?"

"Lanyu was granted the title of Marquis of Yongchang by His Majesty?"

Qin Hai hesitated for a moment and remembered what Hu Fei told him before leaving the house in the morning.

Hearing Qin Hai's words, Hu Weiyong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"how do you know?!"

Hu Weiyong looked at Qin Hai in surprise and asked.

Only the ministers of the DPRK know about this matter now, and it is impossible for Qin Hai to know about it.

"The young master said it when he left in the morning, but has Lan Yu really been conferred the title of Marquis of Yongchang by His Majesty?"

Qin Hai explained slowly, and then couldn't help but ask again.

Hu Weiyong frowned and nodded.

"The young master really knows things well!"

Qin Hai couldn't help but exclaimed in wonder.

"What else did the young master say?"

Hu Weiyong looked at Qin Hai and asked in a deep voice.

He was also shocked as to why his son knew about Lan Yu's promotion to Yongchang Hou so quickly, and it seemed that it was even earlier than the announcement!

"When the young master left this morning, he specifically found me and told me that if the master comes to see him about Lan Yu's promotion to Yongchang Hou, let me tell the master not to worry. He and Lan Yu have made peace and will not

Another branch will grow."

Qin Hai thought for a while and said slowly.

After listening to Qin Hai's words, Hu Weiyong frowned again. He didn't expect that his son could predict everything. It was simply unbelievable.

"Okay, I got it, let's go down, there's no need to take anyone to look for it."

Hu Weiyong waved his hand and said while thinking deeply.

Qin Hai agreed, turned around and left.

"Why is this brat becoming more and more mysterious?"

"And he left the house early in the morning during the Chinese New Year. What was he going to do? He won't cause any trouble again, right?"

Hu Weiyong murmured to himself while slowly pacing in the hall.

...

Prince Yan's Mansion.

In the main hall.

King Yan Zhu Di was sitting on a chair, slowly sipping tea, with a trace of sadness on his face.

As the New Year has come, the day for him to leave the capital is getting closer and closer. From now on, he will be stationed in Peiping and officially become a vassal. However, there are many things and people in the capital that he still cannot let go of.

Especially Hu Fei, because once he leaves, it will be difficult for him to interact with Hu Fei again, and the chance of winning over will be very slim.

At this moment, the butler Ge Yang quickly walked into the main hall.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, news came from the court that your Majesty summoned Lan Yu early this morning and officially granted Lan Yu the title of Marquis of Yongchang."

After Ge Yang walked into the main hall, he bowed respectfully and said slowly.

Hearing Ge Yang's words, the tea cup Zhu Di was holding couldn't help but stop in mid-air, and his face instantly darkened.

"Is there any other news about what happened outside the palace yesterday?"

Zhu Di frowned, squinted his eyes, and asked in a deep voice.

Lan Yu's sudden promotion to the title of Marquis of Yongchang shocked him and made him even more afraid. It seemed that he would have another stumbling block in the court in the future, and he also knew that this stumbling block had already taken refuge with the prince.

"In addition to Hu Fei's visit to Lan Mansion yesterday, the East Palace also sent people to Lan Mansion to deliver a message. As for what was conveyed, it is unknown. Moreover, Li Wenzhong also went to Lan Mansion after that."

Ge Yang hesitated for a moment and said hurriedly.

"It seems that my brother, the king, has gone all out to win over Hu Fei. He is planning to compete with me."

Zhu Di snorted coldly and said in a deep voice.

Ge Yang stood aside respectfully and said nothing.

"I know, let's go down."

Zhu Di glanced at Ge Yang and said in a deep voice.

Ge Yang agreed and slowly retreated.

Zhu Di hesitated, counting the days until he left Beijing, gritted his teeth, and threw the tea cup in his hand to the ground, smashing it into pieces.

"In that case, let's see who among you and me can finally take Hu Fei for his own use!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Di snorted coldly and said disdainfully, his slightly narrowed eyes full of desire to win.

...

The day passed quickly, and as the evening approached, the ministers who were invited to attend the palace's annual banquet also left the house one after another and headed towards the palace.

At the same time, Hong Bin Building also became lively. The old people who received the invitation left their homes and slowly rushed to Hong Bin Building, their faces filled with rare satisfaction.

On the street, Hu Fei, who had not been seen for a day, finally appeared, escorting a carriage all the way to the palace.

Originally, he had planned to wait for the New Year's Day to give the prepared New Year's gift to Zhu Yuanzhang. Yesterday, he heard that he would also be invited to attend the annual banquet in the palace tonight, so he decided to give the New Year's gift to Zhu Yuanzhang just at the annual banquet.

.

"Master, what is that carriage pulling?"

Pei Jie sat on the carriage shaft, looking back from time to time at the huge wooden box on the carriage behind him, and couldn't help but ask into the carriage.

"secret."

Hu Fei in the carriage was silent for a moment and then answered lightly.

Upon hearing Hu Fei's answer, Pei Jie shook his head in disappointment.

When they arrived at the carpenter's workshop, the box had been sealed and loaded directly into the car. As for what was inside, none of them knew.

Hu Fei was sitting in the carriage with his eyes slightly closed and a faint smile on his lips.

No matter whether Zhu Yuanzhang was angry or not about what happened outside the palace yesterday, he believed that after tonight, Zhu Yuanzhang would not pursue it any further, because the three annual gifts he had prepared would definitely stun everyone.

After a long time, the two carriages finally arrived at the palace gate.

As the carriage stopped, Hu Fei slowly walked out of the carriage and looked at the ministers heading towards the palace one after another with a condescending smile on his lips.

At this moment, two palace guards slowly walked forward and saluted Hu Fei.

Since Hu Fei often went in and out of the palace, no one among the guards at the palace gate did not know him.

"I've met Mr. Hu."

The two of them saluted and said respectfully.

"Um."

"My people cannot enter the palace, so I have to ask you to send a few people to take the carriage behind to the Huagai Palace."
