Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

"His Majesty?"

Hu Weiyong looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who had become silent since he finished speaking, and said slowly.

"Oh, that's right. I never thought that Hu Xiang's son could be so well-hidden and a genius in both civil and military affairs. If the younger generation of our Ming Dynasty were like Hu Xiang's son, wouldn't it be a blessing for our Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses, stroked his beard, smiled, and said meaningfully.

"Your Majesty has given you too much praise. Compared with the Crown Prince and other princes, Quanzi is not worth mentioning."

Hu Weiyong smiled and bowed.

But he was muttering in his heart that his son was so outstanding that even he was surprised, let alone others.

"But his temperament does need to be tempered. Otherwise, if he ignores the rules like this now, he may go astray sooner or later without realizing it."

Zhu Yuanzhang then said thoughtfully.

"What your Majesty said is true, so I hope to let him enter the capital to practice hard, teach him the rules, and enable him to serve the imperial court in the future."

Hu Weiyong nodded in agreement.

"But the Governor's Office is special. I have to see if there are any positions suitable for him. Let's put this matter on hold for now. Don't worry, Mr. Hu. Once a suitable position is found, I will say hello to the Governor's Office."

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated and said slowly.

"Don't be anxious, just listen to your majesty."

Hu Weiyong smiled and nodded, cupped his hands and said.

But in fact, he was like a mirror in his heart. He had already expected such a result.

"Then does Mr. Hu have anything else to report?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, there is no more. In that case, I will retire, Your Majesty."

Hu Weiyong shook his head and bowed his hands.

"well."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded without any intention of holding back.

Hu Weiyong said nothing more, saluted and left the Yangxin Hall.

After Hu Weiyong left, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression became obviously serious.

"Pang Yuhai, can you see the purpose of what Xiang Hu just asked for?"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Pang Yuhai who was standing aside, and asked calmly.

"I don't dare to speculate on the Prime Minister's intentions without permission."

Pang Yuhai shrank his neck and replied hurriedly.

"Humph, you just like to pretend to be confused while pretending to understand. Forget it, asking you is in vain."

Zhu Yuanzhang curled his lips, waved his hands and said.

Then he took out the Hanlin Daily that was hidden in the corner of the desk, but he no longer had the intention to continue reading. All he could think about was what Xiang Hu had just mentioned.

...

Hu Mansion.

Linglong Court.

In the main hall, Hu Fei sat lazily on a chair, holding tea in one hand and shaking a folding fan in the other.

At this moment, the housekeeper Qin Hai walked quickly from the front yard and came to the main hall.

"came back?"

Hu Fei curled his lips and asked lightly.

"Reporting to the young master, the master has just returned home and should have gone to the study by now."

Qin Hai bowed his hands and replied respectfully.

"How does your face look?"

Hu Fei asked with a smile.

"It's not good. It seems like something is on your mind."

Qin Hai thought about it for a moment and replied in a low voice.

"knew."

Hu Fei smiled and nodded without asking any further questions.

Everything was as he expected.

Therefore, he had already told Qin Hai early in the morning to report to Hu Weiyong as soon as he returned to his residence.

"Master, what happened?"

Qin Hai hesitated, looked at Hu Fei and couldn't help but ask.

Hu Weiyong's frown looked in Qin Hai's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

"Don't ask if you shouldn't. It's no big deal. I will take care of it myself."

Hu Fei said lightly, put down the tea cup, stood up and walked to the front yard.

Qin Hai nodded, not daring to ask any more questions, and followed respectfully.

Front yard study.

Hu Weiyong was sitting in his study with a frown on his face, thinking back on his words and deeds in the palace just now, and reflecting on whether he had done anything inappropriate.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, and Hu Fei slowly walked in.

Hearing the footsteps, Hu Weiyong raised his head and glanced, then couldn't help but frown.

"It seems that I guessed it."

Seeing Hu Weiyong's face, Hu Fei knew it in his heart and asked with a smile.

"Since you analyzed it so thoroughly yesterday, there are three reasons for Your Majesty to agree to this matter, but why do you conclude that Your Majesty will refuse me today?"

Hu Weiyong frowned and asked in a deep voice.

He had been thinking about this question. But he didn't know what the third reason mentioned by his son was, so he couldn't guess what His Majesty was thinking.

"It's very simple. Even if he believes that you won't achieve anything by arranging for me to enter the Governor's Mansion, he will inevitably have doubts. We have to give him time to think clearly."

Hu Fei smiled, sat on the chair next to him, and said lightly.

"Now that the first reason has been achieved, I believe His Majesty will soon discover the second reason. So what is your third reason?"

Hu Weiyong looked at Hu Fei and asked this question again.

"Of course I'm asking for your help."

Hu Fei smiled and said.

"Noble?"

Hu Weiyong frowned and stared at Hu Fei, wondering who this so-called noble man was.

"Prince?!"

Immediately afterwards, Hu Weiyong suddenly realized and asked.

In the entire capital, the prince is probably the only one who can help his son and be called a noble person.

"That's right."

Hu Fei nodded and said with a smile.

"But the prince is in the East Palace and has not been summoned. How can you see him just as you said?"

Hu Weiyong shook his head and said.

Hu Fei smiled without answering, slowly took out something from his arms, and showed it in front of Hu Weiyong.

"Xuanwu Order?!"

After seeing what was in Hu Fei's hand, Hu Weiyong couldn't help but exclaimed and froze on the chair.

That's right, what Hu Fei took out was exactly the Xuanwu Order given by Prince Zhu Biao last time, a token that could enter and leave the East Palace at will.

"Why do you have the Xuanwu Order?!"

Hu Weiyong asked in surprise.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I met like old friends the last time we met in Hong Bin Tower. When we parted, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave me this token and said that I can use this token to enter and exit the East Palace at will in the future."

"Is this token really that useful?"
