East Palace.

apse.

As soon as Princess Anqing brought Zhu Yunwen to the front of the palace, she saw Hu Fei's figure leaving directly in the distance, and couldn't help but froze at the door.

Originally, Zhu Yunwen knew that Hu Fei was coming and wanted to come to greet his teacher, but Princess Anqing happened to see this unhappy scene.

Seeing Zhu Biao's gloomy expression, Li Shanchang stood up quickly and came to Zhu Biao's side.

"Your Highness, Prince, please calm down. He did not mean to be disrespectful to His Highness. It seems that there is indeed something urgent to deal with in Hong Bin Tower."

Li Shanchang kept smiling and tried his best to defend Hu Fei.

Zhu Biao had a sullen face, picked up the wine glass in front of him, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, remaining silent.

It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Hu Fei's sudden departure.

"Brother Emperor, what happened?"

At this time, Princess Anqing had also led Zhu Yunwen into the hall, came to Zhu Biao's side, and couldn't help asking worriedly.

"fine."

Zhu Biao turned to look at his sister, forced a smile, shook his head and said.

But Princess Anqing saw the obvious displeasure beneath the emperor's smile.

"If he accidentally bumped into the emperor just now, Chang Shu is here to apologize to the emperor for him and ask the emperor for his forgiveness."

"But Chang Shu believes that he definitely didn't mean it. Maybe we pushed him too hard."

Princess Anqing bowed respectfully to the imperial brother and said softly.

"It's really okay."

"Aren't you with Yunwen? Why are you back?"

After listening to Princess Anqing's words, the expression on Zhu Biao's face softened a bit, he changed the topic and asked slowly.

"Yunwen heard that his teacher was here, so he clamored to come and see him."

Princess Anqing smiled and said slowly.

After listening to Princess Anqing's words, Zhu Biao smiled and touched his son's head without saying anything else.

"Brother Imperial, since he has left, Chang Shu has also returned to Kunning Palace."

Princess Anqing handed Zhu Yunwen to Zhu Biao and said slowly.

"good."

Zhu Biao nodded and said nothing more.

Princess Anqing bowed, slowly turned and left.

Looking at his sister's leaving figure, Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh.

"Chang Shu is gentle and simple by nature. With her temperament, I am afraid she will inevitably be bullied by Hu Fei."

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and shook his head, unable to help mumbling to himself.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince may be overly worried. According to my opinion, although Hu Fei is a little bolder, he still loves Princess Anqing very much. Otherwise, Princess Anqing would not be so determined."

Li Shanchang smiled and said hurriedly.

After listening to Li Shanchang's words, Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying nothing more.

"Your Highness, are you really angry?"

"Although Hu Fei was a little disrespectful just now, I believe he didn't mean it."

Li Shanchang hesitated for a moment and continued to explain to Hu Fei.

"Okay, I'm not angry."

"What kind of virtue he is, don't I know yet?"

Zhu Biao waved his hand and said slowly.

"That's good, that's good."

Li Shanchang finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"I am just thinking about other ways to get him to attend the Spring Festival. Looking at his attitude just now, it seems that it will be difficult for anyone to persuade him."

Zhu Biao frowned and said thoughtfully.

"Since he can't be persuaded, there's no need to persuade him. He won't listen to His Highness the Crown Prince, but he should listen to His Majesty's words, right?"

"Didn't he just say that he hoped that Your Majesty would allow him and Princess Anqing to get married as soon as possible? Why don't Your Highness grant his wish and see what Your Majesty thinks."

Li Shanchang smiled and said slowly.

After hearing Li Shanchang's words, Zhu Biao's eyes lit up. He glanced at Li Shanchang and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Biao left the East Palace and went straight to the Yangxin Hall.

...

Outside the palace gate.

Hu Fei walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.

Pei Jie and the other three were standing by the carriage, chatting wordlessly. When they saw Hu Fei coming out, they hurriedly greeted him.

"Master, where is the princess?"

Pei Jie couldn't help but ask when he saw that the young master was still two people when he went in, but was alone when he came out.

But as soon as he finished asking, he was secretly pushed by Chundie.

Chundie and Xiaowu had already noticed the seriousness in Hu Fei's expression, and knew what must have happened, so they didn't ask anything.

But Pei Jie didn't notice it.

Hearing Pei Jie's words, Hu Fei glared at Pei Jie and got on the carriage without replying.

Seeing Hu Fei's eyes, Pei Jie realized that he had talked too much and hurriedly shut his mouth.

Immediately, the three of them got on the carriage one after another.

"Young Master, I just sent someone to deliver a message, saying that His Highness Prince Yan invited you to visit his residence."

After Chundie entered the carriage, she glanced at the young master who was already leaning in the corner with his eyes closed, and said softly.

Hearing Chundie's words, Hu Fei opened his eyes and couldn't help but frown.

His intuition told him that King Yan's meeting with him was probably related to Chun Wei, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

"Master, are you going to Prince Yan's Mansion?"

Outside the carriage, Xiao Wu asked cautiously.

"Don't go!"

"Go back to Hongbin Tower!"

Hu Fei said coldly without even thinking about it.

Hearing Hu Fei's words, Xiao Wu hurriedly agreed, turned the direction of the carriage, and returned all the way to Hong Bin Tower.

Hu Fei continued to close his eyes, but couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Apparently, there was more than one person who wanted him to participate in the Spring Festival.

The old man hopes that he can get an official position so that he can be promoted steadily in the future and gain a foothold in the court. The prince and King Yan also hope that he is just an eighth-grade minister, a lowly official. For them, it is too useful.

A little smaller.

As for Li Shanchang, he just wanted to get some benefits from his relationship with the Hu family so that he and his son could help each other in the future.

But what he wanted in his heart was not as simple as an official position. What he wanted was to be independent from the six ministries like Han Jiang. Except for Zhu Yuanzhang, he was not under the jurisdiction of anyone, or even under one person.

s position.

But he could only keep such thoughts deep in his heart, and he couldn't even tell Hu Weiyong, otherwise it might affect his next plan.

This game of chess is not that easy to play.

...

Hong Bin Building.

Backyard main hall.

Originally, Hu Fei returned to Hong Bin Building in a irritable mood, intending to make some plans, but just as he returned to Hong Bin Building, someone came to the door.

"Young Master, King Yan suddenly arrived for a visit and has already entered the front hall."

Pei Jie quickly rushed into the main hall and said anxiously.

After hearing Pei Jie's words, Hu Fei couldn't help but frown, but he didn't expect that Zhu Di actually chased him to Hong Bin Tower himself.

Chundie on the side couldn't help but look at Hu Fei with some worry.
