Royal Palace.

East Palace.

In the apse.

Hu Fei's heart tightened when he heard that Zhu Biao said that he knew his whereabouts very well. Although he didn't know whether Zhu Biao said it unintentionally or if he was deliberately trying to point him out, he realized that he must be more cautious in his actions in the future.

Moreover, speaking of this, it is no longer a secret that he has been meeting Princess Anqing privately recently.

Even Zhu Biao already knew it, so he would definitely not be able to hide it from Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma at this time!

Thinking of this, Hu Fei couldn't help but feel a little numb.

"It turns out that Your Highness knows everything, but please calm down. The reason why I haven't come to the palace to pay my respects is because Princess Anqing leaves the palace every day to look for me at Hong Bin Tower, so she can't get away. After all, I want to make the princess happy.

, just to make His Highness happy."

"I hope your highness will forgive me."

After Hu Fei hesitated for a moment, he smiled and explained with cupped hands.

"Glib tone! You've committed that dandy thing again!"

"What? Did you suddenly come into the palace today to atone for your sins?"

Zhu Biao snorted coldly, glared at Hu Fei pretending to be dissatisfied, and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Highness can understand this."

"To be honest with you, Your Highness, yesterday when my father returned to the old house to clean up, he accidentally discovered a sweet spring falling from the sky in the old house. In ancient times, there was a saying that nectar fell from the sky and sweet spring came out of the earth. This is a good sign for the Ming Dynasty!"

"My father has seen such a wonder and has ordered people to build a viewing platform. Therefore, I came to the palace today to invite His Highness the Crown Prince to come to the Hu family's old residence to watch this scene together on the Lantern Festival. His Majesty will also go there in person.

.”

Hu Fei cupped his hands and said sincerely, then took out the invitation from his arms and presented it with both hands.

"Liquan descended from the Hu family's old house from the sky? Seriously?!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he couldn't help showing surprise. He couldn't help asking loudly and took the invitation with his own hand.

"Your Majesty, it's absolutely true. Your Majesty will see it when the time comes."

Hu Fei nodded and said seriously.

But whether this Liquan was true or not, he had not even confirmed it with his own eyes. However, since Hu Weiyong had already entered the palace to invite Zhu Yuanzhang, he did not have much time and had to resolve the matter before the Lantern Festival.

"Okay, I will definitely go there when the time comes!"

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment and said with a smile, feeling a sense of expectation in his heart due to Hu Fei's words.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Hu Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"Since you have entered the palace today, please stay for a meal. I have promised to come over and hold a banquet to celebrate your promotion to Jiu'an Hou."

"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Let's do it today."

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Fei, hesitated and said.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it today. I have to go to Prince Yan's Palace, Prince Qin's Palace, and Prince Jin's Palace soon to invite the three princes to visit the Hu family's old house on the Lantern Festival. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Your Highness."

After listening to Zhu Biao's words, Hu Fei smiled sheepishly and said with a grimace.

"Is that so? I thought you only invited me, but it turns out that all of them are participating?"

Zhu Biao frowned and said slowly, a little disappointed in his words.

"Since the three vassal princes have not left the capital, I naturally do not dare to lose my etiquette, so as not to blame them in the future. However, in the heart of Wei Chen, the most important thing is His Highness. It doesn't matter whether they go or not, Your Highness must go as scheduled.

Keep your appointment."

Hu Fei smiled and said seriously.

"Humph, stop using these words to make me happy!"

Zhu Biao smiled, waved his hand and said.

"Wei Chen dare not."

Hu Fei bowed and said with a smile on his face.

"Well, since you still want to go to their three people's houses, then go ahead. I will save this meal for you. When Marquis Jiu'an is free, you must reward him."

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Fei and said jokingly.

"His Royal Highness, you say this because you want the life of this humble minister."

When Hu Fei heard this, he hurriedly raised his hands and pretended to be pitiful.

"Okay, okay, let's go."

Seeing Hu Fei's appearance, Zhu Biao smiled, waved his hand, and said slowly.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Wei Chen resigns!"

Hu Fei nodded with a smile and stepped back respectfully.

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Fei's leaving figure, a faint smile flashed across his lips, thoughtfully.

After leaving the East Palace, Hu Fei didn't stop and directly ordered Xiao Wu to go to Prince Yan's Mansion.

...

Prince Yan's Mansion.

In the main hall, King Yan Zhu Di was slowly wiping the sword given by Hu Fei on the table, looking like he couldn't put it down.

At this moment, housekeeper Ge Yang walked in slowly.

"Your Highness, King Yan, is informed that the Marquis of Jiu'an is outside seeking an audience."

Ge Yang bowed and said respectfully.

"Oh? Please!"

When Zhu Di heard this, an uncontrollable smile immediately appeared on his face, and he urged.

"yes!"

Ge Yang agreed, turned and left.

Soon, Hu Fei followed Ge Yang into the main hall.

"Fourth brother!"

As soon as he entered the hall, Hu Fei bowed to Zhu Di and shouted loudly.

"Brother Xian, you are finally here!"

When Zhu Di saw Hu Fei, he hurriedly put away his knife, stood up and greeted him, clasping his hands and saying hello with a smile.

Hearing Zhu Di's words, Hu Fei smiled bitterly.

One wanted to invite him to a banquet to celebrate, and the other wanted to invite him to talk. He had forgotten both invitations long ago. Unexpectedly, when he saw the two of them today, they both made the same opening remarks.

It seemed that he had never paid his respects to these two people, and they both felt uncomfortable.

"Fourth Brother, I have been busy with too many complicated things recently, and I haven't been able to get away. Today, I came here to send you an invitation to apologize to Fourth Brother!"

Hu Fei smiled, reached out and took out an invitation from his pocket, and handed it over.

Zhu Di smiled, hesitantly took the invitation, opened it and took a look, then couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise.

"Liquan fell from the sky at the Hu family's old house? Is it serious?"

After Zhu Di saw it, he looked up at Hu Fei and asked in disbelief.

"Go back to Fourth Brother, it's absolutely true!"

"My father is looking for someone to build a viewing platform, and has invited His Majesty to come to the Hu family's old house to view the scenery on the Lantern Festival. I thought about it, how could I let my fourth brother miss such a spectacle, but since I want to invite my fourth brother, what else can I do?

It’s not easy to leave people behind, so in addition to fourth brother, I also plan to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highnesses King Qin and King Jin to go together.”

Hu Fei nodded and said sincerely.

"Okay, I have always heard that Liquan exists in the world, but I have never seen it. I didn't expect that such a wonder could appear in the Hu family's old house. Fourth brother will definitely go there!"

Zhu Di smiled and said happily.

"Thank you, fourth brother, for the compliment."

Hu Fei smiled, cupped his hands, and said slowly.

Seeing Zhu Di's happy face, he was relieved, but he didn't know whether Zhu Di was happy simply because of the wonders of Liquan, or because of his flattery just now.

"The spring of sweet wine from the sky is a sign of great auspiciousness. It seems that the Hu family is deeply favored by God. Once this spring comes out, my virtuous brother will surely prosper in the future!"

Zhu Di looked at Hu Fei and said with emotion.

"No, no, no, this is a good omen for the Ming Dynasty, not the glory of my Hu family."
