Chapter 164: Consort's Covenant(1/2)
Hong Bin Building.
Backyard wing.
After Hu Fei had lunch, he returned to his room and planned to take a good nap.
During lunch just now, I drank a bottle of red wine newly developed by the factory because I was greedy for alcohol. I felt a little heady and dizzy.
However, just when he was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door.
"Master? Are you asleep?"
Chundie's voice came from outside the door.
"What's up?!"
Hu Fei, who was wandering on the edge of his dream, couldn't help but frown, turned over, and asked impatiently.
Fortunately, it was Chundie who knocked on the door. If it had been Pei Jie, he would have scolded her a long time ago.
"Master, the consort is here and wants to discuss something important with you."
Chundie stood outside the door and said cautiously.
She knew that whoever disturbed the young master's sleep would not get good results.
"knew!"
Hu Fei agreed, climbed out of bed angrily, and opened the door with a dark face.
Seeing Hu Fei opening the door and coming out, Chundie hurriedly hid aside and pointed at the consort Li Qi who was already standing at the foot of the steps.
Hu Fei rolled his eyes at Chundie and then looked at Li Qi, his face no longer full of enthusiasm.
"My dear brother, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect to disturb your rest."
Li Qi smiled, looked at Hu Fei whose face was ashen, cupped his hands and said.
"What's up?!"
Hu Fei frowned and asked in a deep voice, with a hint of obvious impatience in his words.
He hates others disturbing his sleep the most, especially after returning from the city defense army, Xiao An was dragged out to torture him every night, and Xiao An always tirelessly pretended to be a killer to test him. He was about to collapse.
.
He finally had a chance to sleep during the day, and now that he was being disturbed, he was naturally in a bad mood.
"Oh, I have been quite busy these past two days. Today I finally have free time. I want to invite my dear brother to my house as a guest and meet Princess Lin'an by the way. She has heard a lot about your deeds and wants to see your true face in Lushan."
Li Qi smiled and slowly explained that he didn't mind because of Hu Fei's dissatisfaction. On the contrary, he felt that Hu Fei was sincere and was not pretending to be polite to him because of his identity. He was happy just because he was happy.
To be unhappy is to be unhappy.
After hearing what Li Qi said, Hu Fei was obviously stunned for a moment.
Princess Lin'an?
Isn’t that Li Qi’s wife? Zhu Yuanzhang’s eldest daughter?
But why do you want to see me?
"see me?"
Hu Fei frowned, a little confused.
"Yes, I must have heard of your talent a long time ago. Now that I know your relationship with me, I want to take this opportunity to meet you."
"In addition, my father also said that he misses you, so he specially asked me to come and invite my dear brother to be a guest at his house tonight."
Li Qi nodded with a smile and said with great emotion.
After listening to Li Qi's explanation, Hu Fei raised his eyebrows. He always felt that this reason seemed to be made up by Li Qi, which was somewhat unjustifiable.
But the prince-in-law personally came to invite him, and he was always embarrassed to refuse directly.
"Okay, I'll definitely be there."
Hu Fei thought for a while, nodded and said.
"Okay! Then I won't disturb my brother's rest. I will wait for my brother to arrive on time tonight."
Li Qi smiled and cupped his hands, said goodbye to Hu Fei, turned around and left Hong Bin Tower.
Hu Fei watched Li Qi leave, hesitated for a moment, returned to the room, covered his head and fell asleep.
As for what kind of medicine Li Qi was selling in his gourd, he didn't pay much attention to it. He would naturally find out in the evening.
...
Korean government.
Today, the house became busy again. Li Qi personally watched a group of servants cleaning the main hall, and the kitchen was even more busy, just to entertain Hu Fei in the evening.
Hu Fei would probably be surprised if he knew that every time the Korean government went to such lengths to entertain him.
As soon as Li Shanchang returned to his mansion, he saw this busy scene and couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart.
"Qier, what are you doing?"
Li Shanchang came to the main hall, looked at his son, and asked doubtfully.
"Father, you are back."
Li Qi turned around, took a look, and bowed.
"Which distinguished guest are you entertaining?"
Li Shanchang nodded and asked curiously.
"Father, Hu Fei will come to the banquet tonight."
Li Qi replied with a smile.
"Hu Fei? You invited him? Is there something wrong?"
When Li Shanchang heard that Hu Fei was going to have a banquet, he already understood why his son paid so much attention to it, but he didn't know why his son invited Hu Fei to the banquet.
"Father, that's it."
"Chang Shu has secretly made a secret love for Hu Fei and has always wanted to get to know him, so the boy plans to take this opportunity to create a chance for them to get to know each other."
Li Qi glanced around, approached Li Shanchang, and whispered.
After hearing Li Qi's words, Li Shanchang was obviously stunned for a moment.
But soon he seemed to understand a little better, and figured out why Princess Lin'an always ran to the Korean government recently because she had nothing to do. It turned out that she was here for Hu Fei.
"Have you thought about this clearly? Even if they have feelings for each other, it is not easy for Your Majesty to go through that. Although Your Majesty has changed his view of Hu Fei now and has become more important, he still wants to let his daughter marry Hu Fei.
I just thought he would be furious."
Li Shanchang hesitated for a moment, frowned, and said solemnly.
"Father, don't worry. As long as Hu Fei is attracted to Chang Shu, he will definitely find a way to convince Your Majesty. His mouth has always been known as a mouth that can talk dead people back to life. We don't need to worry about this."
"And I also obtained her sister's consent for this matter. We are only responsible for creating opportunities. Whether we can succeed or not depends on them."
Li Qi smiled and explained seriously.
"Okay, don't force anything. Try not to interfere too much. You can act according to the situation when the time comes."
Li Shanchang nodded, and as he spoke, he planned to leave.
"Father, you have to attend tonight's banquet."
Li Qi saw his father leaving and said hurriedly.
"Do I have to show up too?"
Li Shanchang was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask.
He has never done anything to secure a matchmaker.
"Hu Fei doesn't know yet. In order to persuade him to come to the banquet tonight, Ha'er lied to him and said that you missed him and wanted to see him..."
Li Qi smiled bitterly and explained sheepishly.
After hearing what his son said, Li Shan smiled bitterly, thought about it, and then agreed.
Li Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he saw that it was almost time, so he sent someone to the backyard to inform the princesses and sisters of Lin'an to get ready.
Backyard wing.
Princess Anqing stood guard by the door, constantly looking out. Although she was still in the room, her heart had already flown to the sky.
"You are a girl, why can't you be more reserved? Your thoughts are all on him so quickly. Will you be able to do it again in the future?"
Princess Lin'an looked at her impatient sister and said with a wry smile.
"Sister, where can I find it?"
When Princess Anqing heard this, her face immediately turned crimson and she pouted.
"You still said no. You only have Hu Fei in your eyes now. How can there be other people and other things?"
