After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Ji Feng entered the palace to report to Emperor Liang the news that Mr. Ziwu had come out of seclusion, while Lu Zhaoyan and others invited Mr. Ziwu into the Prince's Mansion.

When arranging a residence for Mr. Ziwu, Lu Zhaoyan intended to give him the most quiet and elegant courtyard, but Mr. Ziwu refused.

He doesn't want the quiet one, he wants the biggest one.

Can grow flowers and vegetables, raise chickens, ducks, cows and donkeys.

Manager Jia looked embarrassed and asked, "Are you going to turn the Prince's Mansion into a farm?"

Lu Zhaoyan said seriously: "Go and arrange it."

"Yes Yes!"

Manager Jia felt that this gentleman was too difficult to serve.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to invite him personally, which was already enough of an honor for him, but he still brought up something when he arrived at his house.

There are many counselors in the mansion, but none of them is so arrogant.

You may complain in your heart, but you cannot be vague about what needs to be done.

Having offended a certain evil star before, he now regrets that he could not do more meritorious deeds to atone for his sins, lest his position be lost.

Thinking of this, Manager Jia glared at Lu Yuan resentfully, and went to choose a courtyard obediently.

After wandering around the Prince's Mansion late at night, Mr. Ziwu was dissatisfied with everything. He complained that the yard was too small, that there was not enough sunlight, and that the feng shui was not suitable for him.

Feng Shui...Feng shui!

Manager Jia clenched his back teeth.

Mr. Ziwu: "In fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's courtyard is quite nice."

Lu Yuan: "Old man, you want to go down the mountain again?"

Mr. Ziwu smoothed his hair which was blown to pieces: "The yard in the east is also fine."

The courtyard on the east is adjacent to Lu Qi's courtyard, and the two courtyards share a small garden.

Manager Jia muttered quietly: "Living next to His Highness, you are..."

You are really taking advantage of me.

His Highness is getting married soon, and he is marrying the eldest daughter of Qianji Pavilion, the daughter of destiny.

They are living together as a couple, why are you, an old man, joining in the fun?

Manager Jia cursed a lot... but then he went to make the arrangements with a smile on his face.

Now that everything has settled, Lu Qi is planning to return to his own yard.

"Father, it's getting late. Please go to bed early."

He bowed respectfully and took his leave.

Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't move, out of politeness, he also bowed to Lu Yuan and said, "Sir, you should rest early. I don't know which courtyard you live in. Qi'er will take you there."

It's not that his status is low and he has to be humble to the advisers in the palace, but his father sets an example by respecting the wise and humble, and as a son he should definitely follow suit.

Lu Yuan sat leisurely on the chair in the study, glanced at him, and said, "What's there to send? I'll live here."

Lu Qi was stunned, looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief, and then looked at his father standing beside him.

Before Lu Zhaoyan could speak, Lu Yuan snorted, "I don't care. I'll live here. My mother said so."

What did your mother say? What did your mother say?

This kid lies without hesitation.

Lu Yuan looked up to the sky, the road was facing the sky, and they each went their own way. In a word, one word: blame!

Lu Zhaoyan pinched his brows and said to Lu Qi, "You go back first."

"...Yes, father."

Lu Qi walked out of the yard in a daze, stood in the night, and looked back at a figure reflected on the window paper by candlelight. Just by looking at the shadow, one could sense a sense of rebelliousness.

"Why do I always feel like something is wrong?"

He murmured to himself.

Manager Jia came to report to the prince in a dusty and dusty state.

That old man is too picky. He drives me crazy.

"The prince."

He bowed feebly.

Lu Qi called him and said, "Manager Jia, who is Mr. Lu in my father's study?"

Steward Jia said in a daze, "Mr. Lu? What Mr. Lu? Isn't there only that wild boy pretending to be the prince's own flesh and blood in His Highness' study?"

Lu Qi took a breath and said, "Is it him?"

Manager Jia covered his mouth.

Mom, uh, it seems like I said something I shouldn’t have said.

"Xiao Xiao Xiao... I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Manager Jia decisively ran away.

Lu Qi returned to his yard with a serious expression.

Dou Qingyi had heard the good news of Mr. Ziwu's arrival in the mansion from the servants. She was so happy that she could not sleep and had been waiting for him in her son's yard.

"Qi'er!"

Seeing her son, she walked over excitedly. When she found that her son looked tired, she couldn't help but show a trace of heartache, "Are you tired? I heard that Mr. Ziwu lives in the mountains..."

"mother."

Lu Qi sat down with a complicated expression.

Dou Qingyi noticed that her son was not in the right mood: "Qi'er, what's wrong with you? Did things go wrong today? But Mr. Ziwu has already stayed at the mansion--"

Lu Qi frowned and said, "Mother, do you know who my father took with him today?"

Dou Qingyi smiled and said, "You."

Lu Qi said: "Besides me, there is another person."

Dou Qingyi smiled and said, "Your uncle, the Emperor Ming?"

Lu Qi said: "The illegitimate son brought back by the Emperor Ming's uncle."

Dou Qingyi's smile froze: "What?"

"Father treats him...very well."

Lu Qi didn't know how to describe his father's attitude towards that boy. After thinking it over, he could only use the word "excellent".

The boy did things he dared not do, said things he dared not say, and acted so unscrupulously in front of his father that he momentarily mistook the other party for a counselor in the palace.

After all, in his opinion, his father was strict with his son but lenient and tolerant with his advisers.

In the words of my father, make use of people’s strengths and tolerate their weaknesses.

Dou Qingyi frowned slightly: "That... is he really your father's illegitimate son? Did your father recognize him? Did he call your father dad?"

Lu Qi shook his head: "Not really."

Lu Yuan has always been recognizing his wild father, but he just never called him that in front of Lu Qi.

Dou Qingyi thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "First, tell me how Mr. Ziwu got down the mountain?"

Lu Qi said: "That boy carried him down the mountain."

Dou Qingyi: “…”

"That's not what I'm asking. What I'm asking is how did you persuade him to come out of retirement? Did the treasure you gave him move him?"

Lu Qi sighed, "I didn't even see him off. When I reached the top of the mountain, Mr. Ziwu had already gone down the mountain. When I went down the mountain, Mr. Ziwu only said one sentence, 'The Gou Chen constellation is as bright as the morning sun. I didn't expect that Daliang does have a Qilin protecting the country. Your Highness has brought the Qilin here, so I will go out of the mountain.'"

Lu Qi did not participate in almost the entire process.

To put it bluntly, nothing can be eaten while it is still hot.

After hearing this, Dou Qingyi chuckled: "Son, you worry too much. You seem to have done nothing, but you are the biggest contributor today. Mr. Ziwu came out of retirement because of you, so the credit belongs to you."

"But father treats that person..."

What Lu Qi cares about is not Mr. Ziwu, but the illegitimate son.

Dou Qingyi said indifferently: "Your father didn't recognize him, he is the son of your father's old friend."

Lu Qi recalled the conversation between the boy and his father in the study: "He mentioned his mother today. It seems that his father has a close relationship with his mother."

"woman?"

Dou Qingyi became alert instantly.
