Chapter 263 Lantern Festival(1/2)
Prince Yan's Mansion.
The entrance to the backyard wing.
"Your Highness, it seems that it is not that simple for Marquis Jiu'an to ask you to investigate Yunqi's matter."
Ge Yang hesitated for a moment and said slowly.
"How to say?"
Zhu Di smiled and said lightly.
"The Marquis of Jiu'an first asked you to investigate Yun Qi, but then the people from the East Palace arrested Yun Qi, and then the inspector Mao Xiang disappeared, and then Han Jiang was called into the East Palace."
"And Marquis Jiu'an was in the East Palace at that time, and he frequently went in and out of the East Palace. I felt that there must be something hidden between him and His Highness the Crown Prince."
Ge Yang hesitated for a moment and said slowly.
After listening to Ge Yang's words, Zhu Di smiled thoughtfully.
"It seems that Hu Fei must be hiding something from me, and it must be something big, otherwise the emperor wouldn't be able to put his hands on the inspector's head without permission. Once his father finds out, he will be in big trouble.
"
Zhu Di said slowly while thinking.
In fact, he had already thought of what Ge Yang said.
"Your Highness, this incident is enough to prove that Marquis Jiu'an is not really on good terms with you. He still prefers His Highness the Crown Prince. You'd better be on guard."
Ge Yang hesitated for a moment and said seriously.
"Talk too much!"
After hearing Ge Yang's words, Zhu Di's face immediately darkened and he said coldly.
"I, the king, naturally know what I am doing, and there is no need for you to say anything else!"
"One is a prince, and the other is a prince. A smart person will naturally know who to get closer to, but this matter has not yet been decided, and what will happen in the future is still unknown."
"I am confident that one day, he will be used by me."
Zhu Di said with a sullen face and thoughtfully.
"Yes, Your Highness, I understand."
"Your Highness, regarding this matter..."
Ge Yang nodded hurriedly, and then asked tentatively.
"So far, no need to make any announcement."
"The king is about to leave the capital. Before leaving the capital, there cannot be any estrangement between him and Hu Fei."
Zhu Di hesitated for a moment and said slowly.
"yes."
Ge Yang nodded, bowed and bowed, then slowly stepped back.
Zhu Di stood in front of the door, raised his head and glanced at the night, with his hands behind his back, deep in thought.
The prince's intervention in the school inspection was originally an opportunity that he could take advantage of, but it was still unclear what effect it would achieve, and he did not want to take the risk.
If he fails to achieve the effect he wants by then, not only will his work be in vain, but it may also implicate Hu Fei. If that is the case, for him, the gain will outweigh the loss.
Therefore, he planned to turn a blind eye and stop intervening.
But what he couldn't figure out was what was being hidden between Hu Fei and his royal brother.
...
Two days later.
The Lantern Festival is here.
Early in the morning, the Hu family's old house was bustling with people coming and going.
On the observation deck, there are several tables and chairs neatly arranged. The tables are filled with various fruit snacks from Hongbin Building. The servants are doing the final cleaning in the courtyard, lighting up lights and colorful decorations, as if
Like the New Year.
Hu Fei lay lazily on one of the chairs, with his feet on the table, looking thoughtfully at the spring water gushing out of the rockery opposite.
It was his first time to see the wonders of Liquan, and he personally took a bowl and tasted it. It was indeed sweet and delicious.
"You brat, what are you doing?!"
"Put your feet down! Your Majesty, they will be here soon. How can you behave like this to see you?!"
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's curses came from under the observation deck.
Hearing Hu Weiyong's words, Hu Fei came back to his senses, turned to look at Hu Weiyong who looked dissatisfied, and grinned with a silly smile.
"What are you doing standing there?! Why don't you hurry up to the door to greet me?!"
Seeing Hu Fei's indifference, Hu Weiyong said calmly.
At this moment, I saw Chundie walking towards this side quickly.
Seeing Chundie's panic, Hu Fei knew that someone had already arrived.
"Master, Master, His Highness Prince Yan is here!"
Chundie said respectfully while saluting Hu Weiyong and Hu Fei.
"Did you hear me!?"
Hu Weiyong shouted at Hu Fei, turned around and walked towards the door.
"Let's go and greet you."
Hu Fei smiled, stood up slowly, and jumped off the observation deck. Unexpectedly, the height was beyond his control, and he staggered and almost fell.
Seeing that the young master almost fell down, Chundie couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.
The entrance of the old house.
As Hu Fei and his son came out of the door, King Zhu Di of Yan got off the carriage.
"Fourth brother!"
Hu Fei shouted and hurried out to greet him.
"Good brother! Fourth brother is not late, is he?"
Zhu Di looked at Hu Fei and said with a smile.
"No, no, fourth brother is the first one. If you are late, then His Majesty is late."
Hu Fei waved his hand and joked with a smile.
"shut up!"
Hu Fei had just finished speaking, and before Zhu Di could say anything, Hu Weiyong on the side had already complained with a sullen face.
Hu Fei shrank his neck and closed his mouth with a smile.
"I have met His Highness King Yan."
Immediately afterwards, Hu Weiyong hurriedly bowed his hands to Zhu Di and said hello slowly.
"Hu Xiang, please calm down. He often behaves like this in front of me, and he doesn't get in the way."
Zhu Di returned the courtesy and said with a smile.
"It's all spoiled by the old minister."
Hu Weiyong explained with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Zhu Di waved his hand, looked at Hu Fei, smiled and said.
At this moment, two more carriages came together.
As the carriage stopped, King Zhu Xi of Qin and King Zhu Fan of Jin also stepped out of the carriage one after another.
Everyone immediately greeted each other, talking and laughing.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Hu Weiyong personally escorted King Qin and King Jin into the old house, while Zhu Di and Hu Fei stayed at the door.
"How is the matter between you and Yunqi going?"
Zhu Di looked at Hu Fei, pretending not to mention it, and asked with concern.
"Fourth brother, do you still remember this matter? Don't worry, it has been taken care of."
Hu Fei smiled and replied slowly.
"That's good, that's good."
Zhu Di also showed a smile and nodded.
"Fourth brother, you go in first. The old man asked me to greet His Majesty and His Royal Highness here, and I will talk to Fourth brother later."
