Chapter 180 Adou should be helped up before him
Feng Jiuqing was startled and looked up at the man timidly.
"Just based on your face, His Majesty won't touch you easily. You have to be bold, even if it's a little outrageous! Ming Qing has always been bold, the bolder you are, the more like him you will be!"
Feng Jiuqing really wants to say to the poster, haha, this is outrageous, do I need you to teach me how to be more like myself?
He glared at the host, who suddenly laughed, "Yes, that's right, you must be confident! You are now the Lu family's legitimate son, the one that His Majesty is obsessed with! In all of Da Yue, you have the strongest background, you don't need to be afraid of anything!"
Feng Jiuqing slowly released some of his aura, and the man nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, that's it, this mission must succeed! Failure is not allowed! Otherwise, your brother will not be able to study well. You know my methods!"
Feng Jiuqing turned timid in an instant, tears rolling down his cheeks: "Ah He knows, please don't hurt my brother."
The man glanced at Feng Jiuqing coldly, "As long as you succeed, nothing will happen to your brother, understand?"
"Ah He understands! Ah He will definitely succeed, don't worry!"
The man finally smiled a little more normally, "Very good! His Majesty's birthday will be coming soon, and there will be a palace banquet. Perform well and make sure His Majesty keeps you by his side."
"Yes!" Feng Jiuqing said with his eyes lowered.
"Go back and prepare yourself. I won't keep you any longer."
"Ah He is leaving."
As soon as Feng Jiuqing left the courtyard, he whispered, "Catch Ah He and lock him up in the dungeon of the Grand Tutor's Mansion. It just so happens that I have nothing to do these days, so it seems like it would be nice to be Ah He. Have someone keep an eye on the man just now, he is the owner of Xitai Tower, Lou Xinyu."
"He also controls half of Xitai Tower's account books and its money. With Mo Cheng's 20,000 troops, it is impossible for him to use up all the money Xitai Tower earns, not to mention that he also has a silver mine."
"But he was not so short of food that he had to rob Changning of his life-saving food. I'm afraid he was fooled by his subordinates. He probably only got a small part of the money behind Xitai Tower and Suizhou Silver Mine. Most of the money was swallowed up by the real person behind the scenes."
Canglang blinked his eyes. As expected of his master, his ideas were different from others. He disappeared in an instant the next second. Feng Jiuqing chose a secluded place and walked out quietly, looking around timidly.
Ah He plays Feng Jiuqing, his appearance is similar but his spirit is different, while Feng Jiuqing plays Ah He vividly.
He looked around, took a deep breath, and then slowly appeared in front of the Xiangfu attendants who were waiting for Ah He to return, pretending to be half-important and said: "I'm done shopping, take me back to the mansion!"
"Yes, sir." The man did not notice anything different and carefully escorted Feng Jiuqing into the carriage.
Just as Feng Jiuqing sat down, a smiling servant came in with candy. Not only did he not give it to Feng Jiuqing, but he ate it first. Seeing Feng Jiuqing staring at him, he just smiled faintly: "Sir, do you want some candy? It's from Tianxiang Restaurant. It's delicious."
Although he asked Feng Jiuqing if he wanted to eat, the plate did not move forward at all.
A servant was so arrogant. It seemed that Ah He was even more cowardly than he had imagined. He had already arranged such a great scenario for him. As long as he didn't cause a huge disaster, Prime Minister Lu and Princess Lan Shu would put an end to it for him.
As a result, he was bullied like this by a servant?
Adou was helped up before him!
Feng Jiuqing smiled gently, "No need, since you like it, eat more."
"Thank you, sir."
The man thanked him insincerely, then started eating with big mouthfuls, not caring at all that Feng Jiuqing was watching him.
The candy from Tianxianglou cost one hundred taels of silver, but it was given to this man. He didn't even have a bite. Ah He was really a coward.
As for why Feng Jiuqing knew the price of this candy, it was certainly not because he loved it, but because he opened Tianxianglou. Otherwise, where would the Youyun Army's military funds come from? Relying on the imperial court to allocate funds to them, they couldn't even eat meat, so what was the point of fighting a fart war?
As soon as Feng Jiuqing returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lan Shu came to find her. Feng Jiuqing felt a little complicated for a moment. Fortunately, Ah He called her princess. If she had called her mother, Feng Jiuqing might not have been able to say that.
"My son, where have you been in such a hot sun? Are you too hot? Come, have some summer-cooling soup."
Feng Jiuqing smiled timidly, took the bowl of soup and drank a few sips slowly before saying, "Thank you, Princess."
Lan Shu smiled and said, "What are you thanking me for? It's just a bowl of summer heat soup."
Yes, it was just a bowl of summer-cooling soup. It was ridiculous that he had never had a taste of it during all the years he was in the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
Lan Shu was about to pull Feng Jiuqing in, but Feng Jiuqing didn't leave. He just stood there and smiled embarrassedly at Lan Shu.
"Princess, Ah He just passed by Tianxiang Tower. I heard that the candies there taste great, so I bought some for you. I wonder if you like them?"
Lan Shu smiled brightly, tears welling up in her eyes, "Ah He bought them all, mom likes them all."
Feng Jiuqing smiled more and said timidly to the boy, "Juncai, go and give the candy to the princess."
Li Juncai was so anxious that his forehead was covered with sweat. He had just eaten all the candy in front of Feng Jiuqing, so there was no candy left for Princess Lan Shu.
The young master clearly saw it just now, so why did he let him give it to the princess? Was it intentional? But it didn't seem like it. After all, this young master was a softie. Even if he was bullied by him, he would not complain to the princess and the prime minister, and they would even help to protect him.
What happened today? Did you take the wrong medicine?
Li Juncai rolled his eyes, looked at Feng Jiuqing innocently and said, "Sir, you have already eaten all the candy, have you forgotten?"
Feng Jiuqing was shocked, as if he had just heard the news. Tears suddenly came out of his eyes. He glanced at Princess Lan Shu timidly, with a hint of tears in his voice.
"I'm sorry, Princess. Ah He forgot. Please punish me, Princess."
Lan Shu wiped away Feng Jiuqing's tears and coaxed her softly, "Don't cry, it's gone, it's not a big deal. It's enough for our Ah He to have this heart, and mother has already felt it."
Lan Shu came from the palace and had been in charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion for many years. From the conversation between Feng Jiuqing and Li Juncai, there was nothing she didn't understand. It must be that her Ah He bought candy but it was stolen by the servant, so Ah He was so shocked, but Ah He had always been soft-hearted, maybe she was afraid that the servant would be punished, so she took it for the servant.
But the servant probably thought Ah He was soft-hearted, so he pushed the blame onto Ah He without fear. She didn't dare to let Ah He suffer any grievances, but this servant dared to let Ah He suffer grievances. The Prime Minister's Mansion couldn't afford to support such a servant who dared to push the matter onto his master. They would have him beaten with 20 boards and sold off.
