The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Go if you have to. You came back so hastily this time, so Lawyer Pei might be suspicious." Feng Deyi said, "You have to handle this well. We can't offend the Pei family."

Similarly, Pei Ji, who was resting at home, also learned what happened at noon from his son.

"I really underestimated this King Jingyang. Why didn't I pay close attention to him before?" Pei Ji said.

Obviously, he knew everything about Li Fu from the beginning.

But later, he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Actually, it's nothing serious." Lawyer Pei said, "Father has a good relationship with His Majesty, and my son has apologized to His Royal Highness Prince Wei for this matter. If we understand it on the spot, there shouldn't be anything else involved.

As for King Jingyang, he was just a country bumpkin before. How long can he be so rampant?"

"Nonsense!" Pei Ji scolded his son, "Country bumpkin? Can a country bumpkin resist the battle-hardened Xue Wanche leading his troops to besiege the Qin Palace in the Qin Palace? In the past, he went to the Qin Palace to discuss matters. Now, although he is still a casual official, he can enter the East Palace at any time and sit with many officials of the East Palace to discuss important matters of the court. The prince values ​​him.

Based on these, you can't underestimate him."

"So, you should check the details of King Jingyang again, and you must check it carefully." Pei Ji said.

"Father, this is a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it?" Lawyer Pei said.

In fact, this matter has little to do with King Jingyang, but mainly the three young princes. However, by noon, the matter should have been fooled.

"You!"

Pei Ji pointed at his son with a look of disappointment.

"What time is it now, huh? At the time of the transition from the old to the new, even some subtle changes cannot be ignored. If you are not careful..."

Pei Ji sighed.

"Do you know why I asked you to find Feng Yandao? Why do we have to be on good terms with the Feng family?"

"I know." Lawyer Pei said: "The Feng family is on the side of the current prince, and we have to borrow their power."

"That's the thing, why don't I let you find someone else?" Pei Ji asked.

"This... son doesn't know."

Pei Ji sneered.

"Feng Deyi, Feng family, even you think that Feng Deyi is the current prince's man." Pei Ji laughed.

"Isn't it?"

"At the beginning, His Majesty wanted to abolish the crown prince and establish the King of Qin." Pei Ji said: "He had this idea, and he also proposed it, but the first person who stood up and opposed it was Feng Deyi."

"At that time, Feng Deyi was still a member of the Qin Palace. If the King of Qin was replaced as the crown prince, it would be good for him. Why did he oppose it?"

When Li Yuan mentioned this matter, he also mentioned it in front of Pei Ji.

Li Yuan still attaches great importance to Pei Ji's opinion. After all, they have been friends for so many years. Sometimes, except Pei Ji, Li Yuan really has no one to talk to.

"This..." Lawyer Pei couldn't figure it out.

Unless...

"Does Feng Deyi have a history with the former crown prince?"

"That's right." Pei Ji said, "If you say it's for the sake of the country, it's all false."

Feng Deyi opposed this matter. Even if the King of Qin knew about it, he still had the reputation of sharing the worries of His Majesty. In the matter of abolishing the crown prince, Feng Deyi said that he was on His Majesty's side.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that the King of Qin was more suitable to be the crown prince at the beginning.

Pei Ji himself thought that he could not be the Sikong, after all, he was old and had reached the age to leave the court, but the Pei family could not fall.

Now his son is not enough to support the Pei family, so he must persist for another two years.

"You are better than the kid from the Feng family." Pei Ji said, "Although you made a mistake in this matter, you knew to bow your head and bend and stretch afterwards."

As for Feng Yan,

He is timid, can't take responsibility, and is a soft egg.

He was scared to run back home by this little thing.

In the future, it won't be a big deal.

"Then we still need the Feng family..."

"No, let's wait and see what happens next." Pei Ji said: "The new prince has begun to control the court. In the future, we can't move forward, otherwise, we won't have a good life."

"Now your majesty's entry and exit is not as easy as before. Even the eunuchs in the palace are originally from the Qin Wang Mansion."

"It's really a new emperor and new ministers." Lawyer Pei sighed.

"This is the most natural thing, don't be surprised." Pei Ji said: "You, in daily life, you should have a bigger pattern, understand? Don't be arrogant outside, you must learn to be low-key, low-key, only then can you succeed."

"Yes, father. "Lawyer Pei bowed and responded.

Li Fu took the three children and the guards back home. Now they were full and the children were a little tired.

In the morning, they had been busy for a long time in the East Market. Now they felt sleepy when they took a break.

"Let's go to the backyard to sleep for a while." Li Fu said, "Just one hour. I'll wake you up after one hour. Okay?"

"Okay."

The three children responded.

Li Fu asked Xiao Tao to take Li Lizhi to the guest room to sleep, and also told the maids in the mansion to stay in the room.

As for Li Chengqian and Li Tai, Li Fu personally sent them to the guest room to rest and asked someone to watch them.

"Dong Jiu." Li Fu called out in the yard.

"My subordinates are here."

"Go find some clean bamboo sticks." Li Fu said, "Send them to the kitchen yard and give them to Liu Niang. "

After giving the instructions, Li Fu thought about it and decided to prepare something.

Shitou came back with the icing sugar and hawthorns that Li Fu asked him to buy.

At this moment, Li Fu was also resting in the back and asked Xiaotao to wake him up in an hour.

In the afternoon, Li Fu woke up first. He looked at the time outside and asked Xiaotao to wake up the children and bring them to the kitchen yard.

When Li Chengqian and the other two arrived, they saw Li Fu already sitting in the yard.

He was sitting on a small bench with a large wooden basin in front of him. There was a basin of clear water in it, and red hawthorns were soaked.

Li Fu was sitting there washing the hawthorns he had bought.

The three children also ran over and gathered around Li Fu.

"Uncle Wang, what are you going to do?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.

"We'll be at home in the afternoon. Uncle Wang will make you a snack. When the time comes, you can try whether Uncle Wang's snacks are delicious. "Li Fu said with a smile: "Come on, let's work together, let's do it ourselves."

"Okay!"

The three children were very excited.

Seeing this, Liu Niang brought three small stools for them.

Li Fu asked the children to wash the hawthorns themselves, and put the clean ones in another basin.

Li Fu was removing the core of the hawthorns on the side.
