In the side room, Hang Tongfu had the highest official rank, and his position was originally at the top.
However, now that Gu Zichen came uninvited, Hang Tongfu had no choice but to give in: "Your Highness, please take a seat."
Gu Zichen waved his hand: "No, no, no, I'm here as a guest, how can I take the position of 'host'? Master Hang, don't be cautious."
In this way, Hang Tongfu did not refuse.
As the dinner began, a musician came in and played music to add to the fun.
There was a faint fragrance in the room, which made this party look very simple and elegant.
The musician who was playing the music would cast an ambiguous and seductive look at Gu Zichen from time to time.
Gu Zichen turned a blind eye, as if he hadn't seen it.
But Gu Nuoer couldn't help but look at Le Ling standing in the middle with her peripheral vision many times.
She has a slender waist, fair skin, and very charming eyebrows and red lips.
Suck it... Big sister is so beautiful!
However, the little man suddenly noticed something strange.
She blinked, and just when she was about to identify it carefully, she heard Wang Fu from the seat opposite him say: "Your Highness, Fifth Highness, I originally invited Mr. Hang to discuss private matters this time, so if I say something inappropriate later,
Please forgive me, Your Highness."
He said meaningfully and toasted Gu Zichen first.
Gu Zichen chuckled lightly, his eyes dark: "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I came here uninvited this time. Of course I won't tell others what I heard."
A trace of contempt flashed in Wang Fu's eyes.
Even if a prince who is not favored goes out and talks nonsense, how many people will believe him?
Wang Fu looked at Hang Tongfu: "Mr. Hang, how have you considered the matter I asked you to consider last time? Does your nephew have the opportunity to join the Ministry of Industry?"
Hang Tongfu put down his wine glass, straightened his posture and said, "I was just looking for an opportunity to explain this matter clearly to you.
Mr. Wang, it is not up to me to decide where to take office. Even if I recommend him, I still have to submit a memorial to the emperor to obtain his approval.
What’s more, when selecting talents in the six ministries, they must first pass the scientific examination before they can be appointed. As far as I know, your nephew...has not yet passed the scientific examination, so if he wants to take up a post in the Ministry of Industry directly, I’m afraid it won’t work.”
Wang Fu was anxious: "Why not? My nephew is the best at enduring hardships and standing hard work. Wouldn't it be nice for Master Shangshu to give him a casual job first?"
The officials he brought also supported him and said, "Yes, Mr. Hang is the minister of the Ministry of Industry. If you choose anyone to come in and do some idle work temporarily to help you, the emperor will not ask anything about it."
Hang Tongfu shook his head in embarrassment: "If I do this, won't I betray the emperor's trust? No, you two adults must not embarrass me again.
I am willing to come out for a little gathering today because I regard you two as friends. It is okay to drink and have fun, but please don’t talk about this kind of thing again."
Wang Fu wanted to say something else, but suddenly he thought that a prince was still present!
Even if the fifth prince is no longer favored, he can't make his thoughts of favoritism for public affairs too clear.
So, Wang Fu called out: "Shuangzhu, come and add some wine to His Highness and Mr. Hang."
As soon as the music stopped, Yue Ling stood up after hearing the words and replied softly: "Yes."
She walked towards Hang Tongfu holding the wine flask.
At this time, Gu Zichen suddenly held a small chicken leg and handed it to Gu Nuo'er behind his hand.
The little guy was startled and looked up at the back of his brother's head.
Fifth brother, aren’t you afraid that others will see you?
Maybe she didn't pick it up, but Gu Zichen shook the chicken drumstick in his hand and motioned for her to take it and eat it quickly.
Gu Nuoer pursed her pink lips and moved her little finger twice, almost unable to resist the temptation——
