North Street.

Hong Bin Building.

In the main hall in the backyard, laughter kept coming.

Hu Fei sat at the same table with Princess Anqing, Chundie, Pei Jie and Xiaowu, drank and chatted, and forgot all about his poor performance in two consecutive exams. Little did he know that the window paper was about to be destroyed by someone.

Poke through.

"Master, please tell me quickly. Are you really confident that you will win the top prize this spring?"

Chundie looked at Hu Fei expectantly and asked happily.

"This is not something I can really win just because I have confidence. We have to see the results of other candidates at that time. However, I actually hope that other talented people can get this opportunity. After all, the window of ten years is only for one day.

"

"Some people can make a comeback after losing their reputation, but some people may not be able to maintain their original aspirations after failure. I have gained enough, no less than a top pick, but they are different, especially those poor people in remote places.

Scholars, they need a chance more than me."

Faced with Chundie's question, Hu Fei hesitated for a moment and suddenly said with emotion.

When he finished saying this, the four people present couldn't help but look at him in surprise, their faces full of admiration.

Hu Fei was also stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he could actually say such words.

Princess Anqing looked at Hu Fei longingly, her eyes full of relief, which further confirmed what she was thinking.

"It doesn't matter, even if you can't win the top prize, no one can separate us."

Princess Anqing looked at Hu Fei and suddenly said very seriously.

"Your words are enough. Even if everyone in the world is disappointed with me, I don't care, but I just don't want to disappoint you."

After hearing Princess Anqing's words, Hu Fei felt warm in his heart, reached out and held Princess Anqing's hand, and said sincerely.

Princess Anqing nodded, pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes full of love.

The other three people looked at the two people looking at each other affectionately and couldn't help but blush. They hurriedly averted their eyes and pretended not to see anything.

"Come on, let's raise a toast to the sincerity!"

Hu Fei smiled, raised his wine glass, looked at everyone, and said loudly.

After listening to Hu Fei's words, everyone raised their glasses and clinked their glasses together, and then drank the wine at the same time.

Hu Fei expressed his true feelings in this sentence, because the reason why he has been able to reach this point is inseparable from the people around him.

Chundie and Pei Jie were originally Hu Weiyong's people, and may not be so loyal to this young master, but after these years, they have completely separated from Hu Weiyong and have become his most trusted people.

As for Xiao Wu, he could be regarded as someone who had shared hardships with him and repaid his kindness. If it were anyone else, he would be the only person outside the Hu family who knew about Xiao An's existence.

If it were anyone else, Hu Fei might have silenced him long ago, but Xiao Wu is different from others because Hu Fei is convinced that Xiao Wu will not betray him no matter what.

Another example is Princess Anqing. Originally, he just wanted to use her status as a princess to stabilize his position in the court, so that he could at least have the protection of a royal relative.

But he didn't expect that he actually fell in love with her. Although it was a surprise to him, he was very lucky that Li Shanchang and his son played such a clever trick under his nose. If it weren't for them, maybe he wouldn't have met her.

Thinking back to the past, Hu Fei suddenly felt a little moved, poured himself another glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all.

At this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came, followed by a burst of footsteps.

Everyone couldn't help but turn around and saw two groups of people entangled with each other in the yard, about to start a fight. Then they saw Mu Ping quickly coming to the door of the front hall.

"Young Master, you are from the East Palace!"

Mu Ping glanced at Princess Anqing, looked at Hu Fei solemnly and said.

"You dare to stop the prince's people and risk your life?!"

Hu Fei frowned and shouted in a deep voice.

"Master, how dare this subordinate?"

"But I saw something was wrong when they came. They were very tough and seemed to be angry. They casually claimed that you were not here, but they just barged in!"

"so..."

Mu Ping quickly waved his hand and said with a grimace.

After listening to Mu Ping's words, Hu Fei's brows furrowed even more tightly, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, stood up and walked out.

Arriving at the door, Hu Fei saw clearly the people struggling with his men in the yard and recognized Xiao Qi's figure.

"stop!"

Immediately afterwards, Hu Fei shouted sharply.

Upon hearing Hu Fei's words, several men dressed as waiters hesitated and stepped aside.

Like Mu Ping, they used to be Hu Fei's bodyguards, but now they don't seem to have the slightest protective momentum. However, if someone dares to hurt Hu Fei, they will never ignore it, even if the person comes is the prince's person.

I don’t know if this is Hu Fei’s charm, but he always makes people around him follow him wholeheartedly.

As the entanglement stopped, Xiao Qi and others quickly came to Hu Fei.

"I've met Marquis Jiu'an."

Coming closer, Xiao Qi bowed stiffly to Hu Fei.

"Commander Xiao, looking at you like this, are you planning to demolish my Hong Bin Building?"

Hu Fei stared at Xiao Qi, with a faint sneer on his lips, and said in a deep voice.

"The general will not dare."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see you, and we also ask Marquis Jiu'an to come with us."

Xiao Qi shook his head and said slowly, his attitude still stiff.

"Yeah?"

"But from what I've seen, you look like you're here to arrest me and hold me accountable?"

Hu Fei curled his lips and asked.

"Don't dare."

"But His Highness the Crown Prince has told you that if Marquis Jiu'an refuses, he will have to be kidnapped to the East Palace even if he is kidnapped."

Xiao Qi still shook his head, but his attitude became stronger.

After listening to Xiao Qi's words, Hu Fei squinted his eyes, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.

But then he knew that Zhu Biao must have known about the second exam.

"Let me see who dares!?"

At this moment, a sharp shout came, and then Princess Anqing was seen walking out of the main hall with a straight face and standing next to Hu Fei.

"I will finally meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"See Your Highness the Princess!"

Seeing that it was Princess Anqing who came out, Xiao Qi and the men he brought with him hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"Xiao Qi, you are so majestic!?"

"How dare you be so rude to your future prince-in-law?! Do you still have this princess in your eyes?!"

Princess Anqing stared at Xiao Qi and said coldly, her face ashen.

"I don't dare, please forgive me, Princess!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi hurriedly explained, bending even lower.

Hu Fei looked at the suddenly tough Princess Anqing and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. This was the first time he saw Princess Anqing looking so majestic.

I didn't expect that she, who is usually petite and gentle, would have such a side, and she couldn't help but look full of love.

"Okay, he won't dare to do it next time. Don't wait for me to do anything and make yourself mad first."

Hu Fei touched Princess Anqing's face and said dotingly.

"Who told him to be so rude to you? How dare you be so presumptuous with the support of your royal brother."

Princess Anqing pouted and said unhappily.

"Have you heard that? Do you still dare to do it in the future?"

Hu Fei smiled, turned to look at Xiao Qi, and asked loudly.

"The general will eventually realize his mistake."

"Princess, calm down."

Xiao Qi cupped his hands and answered hurriedly.

"Look, he knows he was wrong and it's okay."

"Since His Highness the Crown Prince wants to see me, I will go and you should go back to the palace early."

Hu Fei smiled and said slowly.
