The next day.

Xinguo Gongfu.

In the main hall, Tang He sat on a chair and kept looking in the direction of the door, already a little impatient.

Early this morning, he sat here, waiting for Hu Fei to come to the house to serve tea and admit his mistake. After a night, the anger in his heart had inexplicably disappeared a lot.

But as the waiting time got longer, the anger in my heart became increasingly difficult to suppress, even worse than yesterday.

"What time is it?!"

After a long time, Tang He couldn't bear it any longer. He glanced at the butler waiting aside and asked in a deep voice.

"Master, it's already half time..."

The housekeeper glanced outside and said hesitantly, his face a little solemn.

After hearing the butler's answer, Tang He couldn't help but clenched his fists and his face instantly darkened.

"Master, don't wait, Hu Fei probably won't come..."

The housekeeper took a peek at Tang He's expression and whispered.

"How unreasonable! This boy is so arrogant! He even dares to disobey His Majesty!"

Tang He was so angry that he knocked over the tea cup on the table and shouted sternly.

However, although he was angry, he was helpless for the moment, because after all, His Majesty only gave Hu Weiyong a warning and did not issue an explicit edict, so it was ambiguous whether he was resisting the edict or not.

But what he didn't expect was that Hu Fei would now be so bold.

"It's all those losers' fault! What's the point of provoking a dandy when you have nothing to do? He provokes you when you provoke him, but he talks arrogantly and leaves an excuse for others! He's a waste!"

In the end, Tang He could only turn his hysterical anger on those people who had clashed with Hu Fei yesterday.

Several generals standing in the courtyard lowered their heads when they heard Tang He's scolding, and their faces turned red.

Tang He was very angry here, but on the other hand, the fact that the prince personally interceded for Hu Fei had spread throughout the government and the public. The rumor that the prince's highness had a good relationship with Prime Minister Hu also began to spread among the governments, and it spread like wildfire.

Many people are saying that Prince Zhu Biao is trying to win over Hu Weiyong by interceding for Hu Fei.

...

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

"Your Majesty, the inspector has reported that Duke Xin was furious in the palace today and scolded Master Hu so much."

Pang Yuhai slowly walked into the hall, bowed his hands and said slowly.

"Oh? Did that kid really not go to Duke Xinguo's Mansion?!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he asked in surprise.

"No, Mr. Xin Guo has been waiting from Chen Shi to half past Si Shi, but he has not seen Mr. Hu come to the door. It is said that he is very angry."

Pang Yuhai shook his head and couldn't help laughing while answering.

"This kid is getting bolder and bolder."

After hearing Pang Yuhai's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing. Although he was blaming, there was no trace of dissatisfaction on his face.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing."

"Ever since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince interceded for Hu Fei yesterday, all the civil and military officials in the DPRK and China have been talking about it, claiming that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was trying to win over Prime Minister Hu by interceding for Hu Fei. The rumors are becoming more and more widespread."

Pang Yuhai hesitated for a moment and continued.

"Humph, I think they are all too idle! They are talking nonsense!"

"The prince just took a fancy to that boy's unobtrusive talent. The prince has always cherished talents, and maybe he didn't want Hu Fei to indulge in a dandy and bury him."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and snorted coldly.

Thinking that he now associates Hu Fei with talent, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. This is really unprecedented.

"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."

Pang Yuhai smiled and said slowly.

"I am sending an oral message to tell those people who are long-tongued not to make random guesses about this matter. Otherwise, this New Year will be ruined!"

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice.

No one can understand his own son better than himself.

"The slave obeys the order."

Pang Yuhai agreed and saluted respectfully.

...

East Palace.

apse.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Qi quickly walked into the hall and bowed respectfully to Zhu Biao.

"What's up?"

Zhu Biao asked calmly while flipping through an ancient book.

"There is news from Duke Xinguo's Mansion. As expected by His Highness, Hu Fei did not admit his mistake."

Xiao Qi looked at Zhu Biao with admiration and answered slowly.

After hearing Xiao Qi's answer, Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh.

Yesterday after he returned to the East Palace, he said that according to Hu Fei's temperament, he would never offer tea to Duke Xin to admit his mistake. Unexpectedly, he guessed it right.

"How did Duke Xin Guo react?"

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment and asked calmly.

"I was naturally unhappy after being let off the hook. Instead of calming down, I punished the people who clashed with Hu Fei yesterday."

Xiao Qi replied slowly.

After listening to Xiao Qi's words, the smile on Zhu Biao's face became even bigger.

"Your Highness, I heard that after you interceded for Hu Fei yesterday, the ministers started talking about it today. There was even a rumor that came out of nowhere, saying that this was done deliberately by His Highness to win over Prime Minister Hu. Your Majesty

We have already sent word of mouth to all the governments. If anyone spreads rumors again, the New Year will be ruined."

Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

After hearing Xiao Qi's words, Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He has seen many such things.

"Send the poem by Hu Fei that I inscribed that day to the Hanlin Academy to be framed. Let's find an opportunity to show it to those who don't like Hu Fei. It's also time for him to appear in the public eye with a new look.

Got it."

Zhu Biao put down the ancient book in his hand, thought for a moment, and said slowly.

"yes."

Xiao Qi agreed and slowly withdrew.

Zhu Biao turned his head and recalled what happened in Hong Bin Building that day, with a thoughtful smile on his face.

...

Hu Mansion.

Front yard study.

"Master, master..."

Qin Hai ran into the study room in a panic, with a happy smile on his face.

"What's going on in such a panic? What's the decency to do?!"

Hu Weiyong looked at the irritable Qin Hai and said in a deep voice.

But then he frowned, and an ominous premonition flashed through his heart. Could it be that that boy had caused something else?

"Master, the young master is famous!"

Qin Hai said excitedly.

"Famous?! What's famous?!"

Hu Weiyong frowned and asked doubtfully.

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. This doesn’t seem to be a good thing!

"I heard that the young master composed two poems when His Royal Highness went to Hong Bin Tower that day. His Royal Highness liked it very much. After returning to the East Palace, he wrote these two poems in his own hand. Today, he sent someone to the Hanlin Academy to have them framed.

Now it has spread throughout the capital!"
