When the King of Jin returned to his mansion, he was still a little distracted.

Xu Ziqian came forward to serve tea, looked at him carefully and said, "Your Majesty, there is something I want to ask you for help with."

"Yeah." King Jin glanced at his luxurious clothes and looked out the window unconsciously. That beauty's clothes were really shabby. Do you want to give him a few pieces?

Seeing that he was not angry, Xu Ziqian hurriedly said, "I want to change my husband. That Mr. Wang only has a false reputation. In terms of real talent and learning, he is far from it."

"Oh." King Jin was thinking, what color should a beauty wear?

"I want to change my name to Mr. Wu Mian Wu, what can I do? I heard that he has excellent knowledge and is a famous contemporary. If I can learn from him, I will definitely be more successful than following Mr. Wang. Your Majesty, please help me.

Tell me, can you make it happen?"

"That's right!" King Jin suddenly slapped his thigh, which startled Xu Ziqian. Gao Changxiao asked him with shining eyes, "Yes, why did I almost forget? You are also a student of the Imperial College, and you and him used to be friends.

You recognize it, right?"

Xu Ziqian was stunned, "My lord, what are you talking about?"

King Jin suddenly smiled and his face was radiant, "Ziqian, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, it's time for you to buy some new clothes, right?"

Although Xu Ziqian was a little confused, he still happily agreed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. It's just what I just said..."

"No problem!" King Jin waved his hand, "Isn't it just a matter of changing the teacher? Just take my name to the Imperial College and tell him. But Ziqian, do you know Su Cheng's student? What is his name?"

"Ouyang Kang?" Xu Ziqian's heart sank, "Has the prince seen him?"

"Yes, we have met. It's a pity that I didn't see clearly." King Jin said with great regret, "Why don't you invite him to your house as a guest another day? Aren't you and him classmates? From now on, you can walk around if you have nothing to do.

The king has asked someone to prepare a gift for you."

The smile on Xu Ziqian's face became a little stiff. He was so fascinated that he didn't see clearly. If he was brought into the house, would he still have a good life?

Just at this time, a servant came to report, "Your Majesty, the palace has sent a message that the Queen Mother will invite you to the palace for a banquet tonight, saying that you are here to welcome the princess's consort."

Xu Ziqian hurriedly changed the subject, "Then, Your Majesty, hurry up and prepare a gift. Princess Chang and her consort are no better than ordinary people, and they have caused such a big fuss this time. You'd better go and see the gift for her in person. At this time,

It’s not too early, wouldn’t it be good to go into the palace earlier and talk to the princess’ consort?”

This makes sense. Although beauty is important, the country is more important. Although Princess Chang Guo is not his biological sister, she has a large number of soldiers and is highly trusted by the emperor. It is still necessary to find more opportunities to build a good relationship with her.

"Then don't forget what I told you. Forget it, let me go and pick out some gifts for him too."

Seeing King Jin leave so thoughtfully, the jealousy in Xu Ziqian's heart became even more intense, but what could he do? This was not the first day he met Gao Changxiao, so of course he knew what he was like.

It would be okay if Ouyang Kang didn't get into his eyes, but now that he has got into his eyes, what else can be done? The last time he did that didn't ruin his face. What a disaster!

He punched the table angrily, but accidentally burned his hand with the splash of tea. This made him even more annoyed.

Broken garden.

Nianfu was cooking the dishes when Ouyang Kang came back. Seeing that there was no one behind him, Nianfu felt a little strange.

Ouyang Kang told her, "I sent Lan Gu to Dr. Gao for temporary placement. She has promised to choose someone to marry."

Even if Lu Ying offered those tempting conditions, Lan Gu's good nature was still there, so she finally chose Ouyang Kang's arrangement.

Nian Fu originally wanted to say that it would be better to let her come back, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything. Some people just meet each other but have difficulty getting along with each other, so it is better to keep a distance. At most, he can give her a dowry when she gets married.

She continued to concentrate on cooking her food, but when it was almost cooked, Su Cheng had no time to eat and was about to leave when she came out of the study.

Nian Fu quickly pulled him, "Sir, just have a meal before leaving. You're not in a hurry right now?"

"If you don't want to eat, you'll be able to move your troops quickly to avoid any trouble. What did you do at night?" It's okay to just take a look if you can't eat!

Nianfu still wanted to keep him, so he eagerly pointed it out to him, "They are all your favorites. I specially added your favorite Qianzhang knot and quail eggs to the braised pork, steamed pork ribs with taro, and tempeh on top.

Fish fillets and fried shrimps will be available soon.”

Su Cheng swallowed hard and was about to grab some chopsticks and take a few bites before talking, but Ouyang Kang came over with a food box and said, "Sir, don't worry, go ahead. I'll pack it for you. When you finish your work, I'll take it in the car."

It’s ready to eat.”

What a heartless little brat! Su Cheng glared at him, pointed at Ouyang Kang's favorite chicken, potato and mushroom soup and said, "Bring this to me too." Then he secretly gave him an address and hurriedly said

's gone.

Ouyang Kangcai was not stingy, so he filled the entire can of soup and waited for it to be packed.

Seeing that he wanted to go, Nianfu quickly took two more stew pots, steamed two steamed eggs with minced meat, and fried a plate of spring rolls.

While packing, he told Ouyang Kang, "These vegetables are difficult to handle on the road. Don't take them. I will have them delivered to Du's house later. These steamed eggs are not easy to get cold. One for Mr. and one for you. Add some more."

Serve the spring rolls. You can eat them on the way to pad your stomach, and then you can eat properly when you get home. It’s getting dark and it’s cold outside. You go up and put on some thick clothes, and get a cloak for your husband to take with you. I’ll take care of it here.”

Ouyang Kang was not polite to her and ran upstairs. When he finished cleaning up and came down, Nianfu also packed up neatly. He wrapped the egg custard and fried spring rolls tightly, Ouyang Kang picked them up and rode away.

.

Su Cheng was one step ahead of him and had already arrived at a place. It happened that the person he was looking for was about to go out. Seeing that the person was probably entering the palace, he secretly screamed luck. Su Cheng hurriedly rushed forward and said, "Your Majesty, please

Stay!"

King Qi raised the curtain of the car quite unexpectedly, "Mr. Su? Do you have anything to do with me?"

To put it nicely, this person is called Jie Jie, but to put it badly, he is called slippery. Because he is very talkative in front of the emperor, many ministers cannot make friends with him, and the princes are even more alienated. Now it turns out that

King Qi was really surprised that he took the initiative to come to see him.

Su Cheng stepped forward, "Your Highness, could you please take a moment to speak? I won't delay you for too long."

King Qi nodded, got off the sedan chair and took Su Cheng into the concierge. He found a clean place to sit down and said, "Sir, please tell me something."

Su Cheng was not polite anymore.

After hearing what he said, King Qi looked at him again and asked, "I have written down what you asked me to do. I'm just curious, why did you ask me to do this?"

When you ask someone to do something, you have to owe someone a favor. How could Su Cheng not know this? He just smiled bitterly and said, "King Qi is a wise man. If I return this favor to others, others may not appreciate it. Maybe you are the only one who is willing to accept this favor."

"

Qi Wangwei was a little surprised, "Sir, do you plan to return this favor to me now?"

Su Cheng didn't speak. He just took a cup of tea from the concierge and wrote a few words on the table in front of King Qi. After writing, he wiped it away with his sleeves.

However, King Qi stood up with a solemn expression, bowed and gave him a deep salute, "Thank you sir for your advice, I will take note of this favor."

Su Cheng was not polite and bowed back to him and left.

When I went out, I happened to meet Ouyang Kang. He grabbed his apprentice and got in the car. He was eating crispy spring rolls and drinking hot steamed eggs. It was really comfortable.

Ouyang Kang couldn't help but asked quietly, "Sir, how big is the price this time?"

Su Cheng lamented, "I originally wanted to keep it for you to use when looking for a future, but now it's gone. Do you think it's a big deal?"

Ouyang Kang glanced at him and said cautiously, "Actually... the apprentice doesn't have much idea about his future. It would be great if he could be like the master."

"Good-for-nothing!" Su Cheng was so angry that he wanted to hit him with a spring roll, but he couldn't bear it. He could only curse angrily, "Why do you want to be a teacher to pass the time? Can't you see it? But what if?

The same is true for me when I teach a disciple. Wouldn't it make people laugh at me that my surname is Su, who really only has a sharp tongue, but actually has no real talent or ability to govern the world?"

Ouyang Kang didn't dare to say anything, but he was thinking in his heart that talent does not necessarily need to be of the highest rank to be reflected, right? It would not be bad if he could get to the point where Su Cheng could defeat an invincible opponent with just a vicious tongue.

But even if he were killed, he would not dare to say such words.

Because after in-depth understanding, no one understands better than Ouyang Kang that under his husband's cynical surface, there is a heart that longs to make achievements and be famous throughout the ages.

But can he really do it for him?

Renshou Palace.

The lights are shining brightly and there is harmony.

Compared to the birthday banquet in the Linde Hall that day, the atmosphere today was more easy-going and warm. There was no need to install additional screens, and many rules were omitted. Looking at the men and women, the children and grandchildren in the hall, the smile on Queen Mother Mu's face was much more sincere than that day.

.

Suddenly, Prince Consort Wei Yinian came over and said, "It's a pity that uncle is not here. We plan to go to Xishan to visit him in two days, okay?"

Empress Dowager Mu said hurriedly, "No need! You are in good health, how can you withstand the torment? Let's raise her in peace in the palace. We are all members of our own family, so there is no need to talk about these false etiquette. There will be many opportunities to meet in the future."

Wei Yinian said, "Although the imperial grandmother cares about us, we are juniors after all, and it is our first time in Beijing, so why not go?"

Empress Dowager Mu smiled and said, "I said you don't have to go, but you don't have to go. To be honest, your body needs to rest, and his body also needs to rest. If you go, you will not only torment yourself, but also torment him. It is very unnecessary.

. He is not even allowed to come back for my birthday, so how can I let you torment him? If you are afraid of being embarrassed, just think of it as feeling sorry for your uncle on my behalf."

After saying this, Wei Yinian finally gave up the idea.

The Queen Mother looked at him and said with a smile, "You, quickly recover your health and let Xiuru quickly give the Ai family a grandson. This is better than anything else!"

Wei Yinian suddenly became embarrassed, "I am the one dragging the princess down."

"Nonsense! You were injured because of the Da Liang Dynasty..." The Queen Mother wanted to comfort him a few more words, but suddenly she saw a commotion below, and it was King Jin who came.
