After the three guests were seated, the maid placed two cups of tea bowls on the table next to Xu Qing and Xiao Ye, while a cup of warm water was placed on the table next to Prince Feng.
After serving the tea, the maid withdrew.
Prince Feng looked at Xiao Ye, with a forced smile on his lips and said: "I felt cold a few days ago and can't drink hot tea. Please use it."
Tea has a refreshing effect, and what people suffering from wind-chill need most is more rest and sleep, which is conducive to recovery. Insufficient sleep may aggravate the symptoms of wind-chill.
Xiao Ye took a sip of tea and swallowed it. Prince Feng saw this and asked, "How is the tea in my house? Is it still to my cousin's taste?"
Xiao Ye said politely: "Good tea."
King Feng was surprised and said: "I didn't expect that my cousin is still a person who knows tea. I wonder what's so good about him?"
Xiao Ye's hand that had just put down the teacup couldn't help but froze. He pursed his lips and looked at Xu Qing as if asking for help.
Seeing this, Xu Qing gritted his teeth and said: "The aftertaste is long-lasting, the fragrance lingers on the lips and teeth, and it is fresh and pleasant. It is a great blessing in life to be able to drink such delicious tea in the middle of winter."
King Feng smiled and said: "The way to store tea in my house is to put a ten-pound bottle into a big bucket. Every year, burn straw ashes into a big bucket. The tea bottle is placed in the bucket. Fill the bucket and bottle with ashes on all sides. Cover it with ashes to make it solid. Avoid light and dry. In this way, the tea can be preserved.
It is so fresh and refreshing that it is considered that this tea has gained its wish by being introduced to tea-savvy people like the Marquis of Anding County."
Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing in surprise, moved his lips, and said through lip language: "Thanks to Brother Xu for knowing tea, otherwise I would have lost face in Prince Feng's Mansion."
Xu Qing put down the tea bowl and moved his lips slightly: "That's all I know. Talking nonsense seriously is also a skill..."
Xiao Ye's eyes widened immediately.
Prince Feng looked at Xiao Ye and Xu Qing and asked: "Today, my cousin and the Marquis of Anding County came to my humble residence, and they really made my little Prince Feng's palace shine. I wonder what you are doing here this time?"
Xiao Ye said: "It's like this. Brother Xu's promotion speed is a bit fast. Let's ask for advice on how to get into trouble and slow down the speed of promotion. To put it simply, let's learn from you how to get into trouble."
"Eh..." Prince Feng looked at Xu Qing and then at Xiao Ye, and then said with a straight face: "Cousin, you know that I am a brother. I am a brother who neither bullies men or women nor bullies the weak. He calls himself
I have never broken any law in this world, how can I teach others to get into trouble..."
Xiao Ye said: "Last time, I don't know who stayed drunk in a brothel just after finishing the Spring Festival affairs, which made the emperor's uncle furious."
Prince Feng argued: "That's wrong. Staying in a brothel overnight is at best a problem with the prince's lifestyle. If it were applied to ordinary people, it wouldn't be a problem."
Xiao Ye said: "Of course it's not a problem to stay in a brothel overnight, but..."
King Feng asked: "But what?"
Xiao Ye glanced at Prince Feng and said, "My cousin is still a boy after spending the night in a brothel... Cousin, you don't want others to think there is something wrong with your cousin's body, right?"
Prince Feng was surprised and said: "This... you can also see this?"
Xiao Ye held the chair and looked at Prince Feng and said, "Can you help me?"
Prince Feng gritted his teeth and said: "I, Xiao Zhi, have been doing everything right in my life, how can I..."
Xiao Ye crossed his arms: "Two years older than me, still unmarried, often going to brothels, still a child..."
Prince Feng sighed: "You win..."
If he hadn't been afraid of being tied up after getting married, how could he have endured until now?
Xiao Ye actually doubted his health. This was a personal insult!
He had spent nearly twenty years of his life as a jade, never expected that he would be so misunderstood by Xiao Ye?
If it weren't for the fact that the crown prince's position has been unresolved, how could he be like this?
Xu Qing stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Feng, I will pay you."
Prince Feng looked at Xu Qing and thought about it for a while. The dean of the Guoshang Academy... the richest man in the world, the reward he gives is probably not as generous as usual...
Thinking of this, Prince Feng chuckled and said, "It's easy to talk, easy to talk about. Talking about money hurts feelings. How much does the Marquis of Anding County plan to give?"
When Xu Qing heard this, he coughed and said, "What I'm giving you is not money..."
"It's not silver?" Prince Feng asked doubtfully, "What is it?"
Xu Qing said: "To His Highness, it is much more valuable than a mere piece of silver."
Much more valuable than silver... When Prince Feng heard this, he could hardly close his mouth: "Emerald, agate, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc... This... How embarrassing is this."
The corners of Xu Qing's mouth twitched and she said: "It's a prescription..."
"Prescription?" Prince Feng asked in confusion: "What prescription?"
Xu Qing said: "You can order girls in Liuxiang Pavilion at will... ten of them won't be a problem."
King Feng gritted his teeth and said: "The Marquis of Anding County is insulting me?"
Xu Qing: "Do you want it, Your Highness?"
Prince Feng: "I want..."
…
Other than Eunuch Wei, no man can refuse the word "lasting".
But Prince Feng analyzed it for a long time, and as far as Prince Feng was concerned, it would not be easy for Xu Qing to learn his method.
King Feng got into trouble and got into trouble, but he was neither corrupt nor bribery.
The troubles he caused were equal to his merits and demerits and he was able to live peacefully in the court. That was entirely because there were too many royal rules. What he violated was not the law but the royal rules.
The royal family attaches great importance to etiquette and rules, so the Emperor of Chu was able to impose this moderate punishment.
For example, sleeping in a brothel overnight would be a serious matter that would ruin the royal family's face if it were done to a prince.
If this were applied to someone outside the royal family like Xu Qing... the lady would at most punish her by kneeling on the washboard for two days.
The price of breaking the law is too high and is not advisable.
Moreover, teaching a dandy would offend the rich family. Today's dandy children have long been scolded by Xiao Ye like good babies, and no one wants to teach them a lesson.
Now there is an earl's son in front of them who is helping the grandmother shopping for vegetables across the street...
Looking at it this way, it seems that the only option is to bully and bully the prince.
Bullying civilians can still be investigated for crimes, but bullying a prince is different. The royal family has its own system, and the emperor has the final say on the severity of the punishment.
It's high when you say it's high, it's low when you say it's low.
Xiao Ye took a sip of tea and thought: "Bullying the prince? Is this charge credible?"
Prince Feng threw the soft paper he had just used into the paper basket aside and said with assurance: "Don't worry, it's absolutely reliable. Everyone is sensible and knows what the thoughts of the Marquis of Anding County are, and we won't delve into it.
"
Xiao Ye thought for a moment and looked at Prince Feng and asked, "So now we only have one more prince to beat, right?"
"Theoretically, that's the case. It just so happens that Prince Qi's Mansion is not far from here..." Prince Feng said as he suddenly felt something was wrong: "Hey, hey... what are you looking at me doing?"
