The night was already deep. Standing outside the quiet Daming Palace, Wang Qin yawned again.

"General Cheng." Li Zhi continued, "I want to hide it from General Cheng, I want to take over the Hai Trade Fair, and I hope General Cheng can accept it."

Cheng Yaojin grinned, "Your Majesty is getting late, so the old minister has surrendered."

"Yeah!" Li Er nodded, "Wang Qin, send Cheng Yaojin off."

"I understand." Wang Qin also said with a smile.

"You're leaving now?" Li Zhi was surprised, "General Cheng, you haven't..."

"Zhinu, it's getting late, so you can rest early." Li Er called out Li Zhi and left.

Sitting alone in the Daming Palace, Li Zhi looked at the empty surroundings in a daze, and that was the end? Haimao matters were opened and left. Does Cheng Yaojin not support him in taking over Haimao? Li Zhi was not sleepy and walked alone in the garden of Daming Palace and thought a lot. Did he do something wrong or was his own way wrong?

After a night passed, Li Zhi still had no idea. When he returned home, he looked at Gu Qing who was eating fried dough sticks.

"Gu Qing." Li Zhi said while drinking soy milk.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qing also looked at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi lowered his head and sighed, "Nothing."

"It is said that His Highness King Jin was very busy yesterday." Gu Qing said, "His Highness King Jin went to Cheng Mansion and Daming Palace, which is really fulfilling."

"Nothing can escape your eyes." Li Zhi whispered.

"The Cheng family's wine is not good, but it's not like that." Gu Qing stood up after breakfast, "His Royal Highness Jin is eating slowly, there are some here."

After Gu Qing finished speaking, he left. Li Zhi ate two steamed buns and was not in the mood to eat them. He thought about how to seize the right to trade in the sea. Gu Qing didn't seem to express his opinion that this matter was not so important to him. He seemed to have agreed to his own practice. The Cheng family's wine was not good, so he didn't drink it like this? What does this mean?

Of course, Gu Qing can't hide the fact that he went to Cheng Mansion. Gu Qing will definitely know what kind of friendship Cheng Chumo and Cheng Yaojin and Gu Qing are.

Wu Mei and her family cleaned up the courtyard and saw Gu Qing coming and greeting him, "Is Your Highness King Jin okay?"

"It's OK. I didn't expect this kid to find Cheng Yaojin by himself." Gu Qing also picked up the broom to sweep the floor. "Cheng Yaojin is not so easy to deal with, this kid has to continue touching his nose."

"General Cheng should be able to sell His Highness the King of Jin." Wu Mei also said, "After all, His Highness the King of Jin is also the prince that His Majesty loves the most."

Gu Qing whispered, "That's right, but this guy Cheng Yaojin is not easy to deal with. If you can't take his appetite, this old guy will not be able to get into it. Don't look at Cheng Yaojin's appearance of playing and laughing and doing things, he knows in his heart that the identity of the prince Li Zhi will cause him a lot of trouble."

"Yes." Wu Mei nodded slightly, "There is always an indescribable wall between the powerful and the prince."

Gao Yang listened to the conversation between Gu Qing and Wu Mei. After Gu Qing left, Gao Yang came to Wu Mei's side, "Will Gu Qing not give me some advice?"

Wu Mei smiled and said, "If His Highness King Jin wants to grow, he must sharpen his highness himself. If the bird wants to fly, his wings will never be strong. Many birds will never fly back to their original homes after leaving their parents, and many parents will not look for their birthed birds."

"You mean that Zhinu will have any differences with Gu Qing in the future?"

"I don't know." Wu Mei said again: "After so many years, my husband has given His Highness more or less a lot of tips to the King of Jin, but unlike Di Renjie, my husband never interferes with His Highness's way of thinking. His Highness can catch sea trade but cannot take his husband's port. No one can tell the future."

"I understand." Gao Yang nodded.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Wu Mei helped Gao Yang do it.

"It's pretty good, but the child in his belly will suddenly move a few times." Gao Yang smiled on his face, "Actually, I'm very worried about whether there will be any accidents when the child is born, and whether Gu Qing will be nice to his child."

"Your son wants to inherit the academy, and my two sons want to inherit the Gu family's family business. Gu Qing has taken care of it, so you don't have to worry." Wu Mei said holding Gao Yang's hand.

"Actually, I was jealous of you a long time ago. Don't you blame me?" Gao Yang looked at Wu Mei.

"Everyone has stubborn times. The stubbornness of our women is very simple." Wu Mei said slowly to her, "After so many years, some things have become indifferent. They are not children."

"Yeah." Gao Yang nodded, "Yes, so many years have passed, the Gu family is very good, I like this place very much! Life here is very simple and comfortable. The whole family is like Gu Qing, living such a lazy life, without worrying about food and clothing. In the past, I lived in the harem with my mother, and I often saw a few cold palace maids' corpses. The palace was very cold, so cold that it was biting. Other people's eyes always had some other flavors, their minds were particularly complicated and unpredictable. There was always another face under their smiling faces."

"Human hearts are complicated, and sometimes too many people are not good." Wu Mei said.

Gao Yang nodded, "Sometimes my father doesn't want it. Now that I am the only one who stays with my father. Many times, it is a last resort to maintaining the relationship between the royal family and the great gentry. The relationship has become a part of the imperial power. It is very deformed and very disgusting. I have lost my temper several times, but whenever I see my mother's eyes, I know that my mother is helpless."

"Okay, don't think about the past and everything is good now, right?" Wu Mei persuaded Gao Yang.

"Yeah." Gao Yang nodded.

Li Zhi had no intention of sleeping, and came to the academy again while it was still early, and had no intention of listening to the class.

"Are you worried?" Li Tai walked over and said to Li Zhi, "Have you encountered any difficult things?"

Li Zhi nodded silently.

"Tell me about the emperor, what trouble are you in?" Li Tai said in a low voice.

"It's okay, I can do it myself." After Li Zhi said that, he stood up and left the academy, came to Chang'an again and walked on Zhuque Street, and arrived at the door of Cheng's mansion.

"Your Highness King Jin, the young head of the family has been waiting for a long time." The gatekeeper greeted Li Zhi when he saw him, "Please please."

"Brother Chumo is waiting for me?" Li Zhi was puzzled.

"Please." The concierge led Li Zhi all the way into the backyard. Cheng Chumo was sweating with an axe. "Young head, Your Highness, King Jin, has arrived."
