Hu Mansion.

Linglong Court.

In the main hall, Hu Fei and Princess Anqing sat opposite each other, enjoying breakfast.

Since Princess Anqing came here last time, she no longer avoided Hu Weiyong in the next few days. She left the palace early almost every day and was inseparable from Hu Fei's side.

The reason for leaving the palace was to go to the Korean palace to meet her sister, Princess Lin'an, and invisibly used Princess Lin'an as a shield.

For this reason, Hu Fei personally prepared a generous gift and went to the Korean government to comfort Princess Lin'an, and by the way, he gave her the pen he had promised Li Shanchang.

However, although Princess Lin'an's excuse was the same every time, Empress Ma had actually seen through it long ago. However, since Empress Ma was in a very good mood recently, she did not expose it.

As for the reason for his good mood, Hu Fei probably would never have thought of it.

While Hu Fei and Princess Lin'an were enjoying their meal, Pei Jie quickly came to the door and began to pace hesitantly.

"What's wrong?"

Hu Fei looked at Pei Jie wandering around the door, frowned and asked.

"Master, Butler Qin is staying at the middle gate again. The master said that you should go to the front yard for anything. Today many people came to pay New Year's greetings."

Pei Jie stood at the door with a grimace and said in embarrassment.

"You came so early today?"

Hu Fei frowned and said.

Ever since the night of the New Year's banquet, all the civil and military officials in the capital city seemed to be ill. People came to Hu's Mansion with generous gifts to pay New Year greetings all day long. There was an endless stream of people coming and going every day.

Hu Weiyong was exhausted just from returning the gift, and he knew that these people were here for his son. But his son kept avoiding him, so he had no choice but to evade it by saying that his son was not in the house.

But recently, those officials came earlier and earlier every day, and some even came to visit us for the second time, as if they would not give up until they saw Hu Fei.

Hu Weiyong finally couldn't stand it anymore and had to ask Qin Hai to ask Hu Fei to go out, but Hu Fei was annoyed by this kind of social interaction and kept avoiding it.

No, someone came to the door early this morning. Hu Weiyong couldn't get away, so he had to ask Qin Hai to invite Hu Fei over.

However, as early as yesterday, Hu Fei had ordered Pei Jie to lead people to guard the middle gate, and no one would be allowed in. Even if Hu Weiyong came in person, no one would be allowed in without his permission.

"I guess I heard that I can't see you young master if I come late, so I came so early today. What do you think I should do?"

Pei Jie said with a grimace.

"See you there? Didn't you see that I'm busy?"

Hu Fei waved his hand and said impatiently.

After hearing Hu Fei's answer, Pei Jie sighed and had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the middle door.

But before he could take a few steps, a loud shout suddenly came from the direction of the central door.

"You brat! Do you want to rebel?!"

"Get out of here quickly!"

"Get out of the way! Do you want to rebel with him?! Get out of here!"

Hu Weiyong came in person!

"Master? What should I do?"

Pei Jie hurriedly turned around and walked back, asking with a grimace.

Dare to block the master's way, it is almost the same as eating a bear's heart and a leopard's courage. Once the master is forced to panic, it will be easy to get a slap in the face.

"Brother Fei, why don't you go there and don't make Hu Xiang angry?"

Princess Anqing couldn't help but say when she heard Hu Weiyong's angry shouts coming from afar.

"If you don't have the time, hurry up!"

Hu Fei waved his hand, stood up and pulled Princess Anqing out of the main hall and ran towards the back door.

Chundie and Xiao Wu saw it and hurriedly followed.

"Master, wait for me!"

Pei Jie glanced in the direction of the door, ignored his men, and hurriedly chased towards the back door.

"Pei Jie, please stay and help me block it for a while!"

But then, Hu Fei's voice came in from outside the back door, and Pei Jie watched helplessly as the back door closed heavily.

Pei Jie froze on the spot, looking at the closed back door, then looking in the direction of the middle door, stamping his feet, and walked helplessly toward the middle door.

At the middle gate, Hu Weiyong's face turned red with anger as he was stopped by the guards. He watched with his own eyes as his son pulled Princess Anqing out of the back gate.

"Master, stop shouting. The people in the front yard will hear you soon. If they find out that Princess Anqing is in the mansion, it will be troublesome."

Qin Hai looked at the direction of the front yard warily, pulled Hu Weiyong and said worriedly.

After hearing Qin Hai's words, Hu Weiyong subconsciously closed his mouth, sighed helplessly, and then turned to look at the guards in front of him.

"Just wait, don't go anywhere, we'll see how I deal with you later!"

"And you!"

Hu Weiyong gritted his teeth, pointed at several guards and Pei Jie who arrived later, cursed angrily, turned around and walked angrily to the front yard.

Seeing the old man leaving angrily, Pei Jie froze on the spot, his face full of grievances.

...

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang was concentrating on studying the Lego model that had been put together more than half, and he felt full of accomplishment.

In the past few days, he went to Kunning Palace to go to bed early at night, and stayed in Yangxin Palace to study Lego during the day. The manager was about to take shape.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Hu Mansion has been very lively recently. Civil and military officials have prepared generous gifts to pay New Year greetings. It seems that the Hu Mansion has not been so lively for a long time."

Pang Yuhai stood aside and said slowly.

"Humph, these people are just at their wits' end. If they don't serve the court well, they will just fawn over and flatter them."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said dissatisfied.

"I heard that Mr. Hu has been having a lot of headaches recently. We are welcoming him and sending him off. I guess he hasn't entertained so many guests for a long time."

Pang Yuhai said with a smile.

"Where is Hu Fei? What are you doing recently?"

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and asked slowly.

"I heard that Mr. Hu has been away from home recently, avoiding guests."

Pang Yuhai replied with a smile.

"Why would he spend his time on this kind of entertainment?"

Zhu Yuanzhang curled his lips and spoke slowly, sounding as if there was something in his words.

"However, Hu's mansion suddenly became so lively, and so many people came to fawn over him. Those who had previously impeached Hu Xiang and formed a party have become quiet."

Pang Yuhai hesitated for a moment and said again.

"Huh, that's because they all know it. These people are here to curry favor with Hu Fei, but Hu Fei disdains this and doesn't even bother to see them."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said with a smile, there seemed to be a hint of approval in his words.

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Pang Yuhai smiled and nodded, seeming to agree with Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and help me put this model together as soon as possible."

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes at Pang Yuhai and urged dissatisfiedly.

Pang Yuhai hurriedly agreed, sighing secretly in his heart, and continued to help Zhu Yuanzhang pick out the remaining wood blocks one by one according to the painting.

...

East Palace.

apse.

Prince Zhu Biao is holding a pen in his hand and practicing calligraphy on paper.

Ever since he got this pen, he has been obsessed with calligraphy. He likes to practice calligraphy when he has nothing to do. He feels that the words written by this pen are much more delicate than those written by a brush.

At this moment, Xiao Qi slowly walked in from outside the hall.

"Your Highness, many people have gone to the Hu Mansion today. This is already the fifth day. The warehouse of the Prime Minister's Mansion is probably full."

Xiao Qi bowed his hands and said respectfully.

"Where is Hu Fei? Are you still hiding?"

Zhu Biao smiled and asked slowly.

"Yes, I left the house early in the morning, and I probably won't go back until nightfall."
