The power of heaven is unpredictable, Fang Zheng sighed, do all emperors like to make secrets? If you say something clearly, it will be over. If you say it vaguely, it will make the people below you suspicious, and you will not be able to return it.

Because he misunderstood the emperor's meaning, he was beheaded, why bother? Was he dead unjustly?

Fang Zheng was walking towards the palace gate, pondering all the way, when suddenly a high-pitched voice came to his ears: "Bold! Who are you? Why don't you bow when you see His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Fang Zheng was stunned, and looked up. He was almost at the gate of the inner city. There were many people standing in front of him. A group of eunuchs and maids were surrounding a young man in the middle wearing a dark yellow dragon robe. This young man had sinister eyes.

With his high nose and thin lips, he looked like a villain in a movie, which made people feel very uncomfortable. Especially when his eyes looked at Fang Zheng, Fang Zheng felt like he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

It made him feel inexplicably trembling.

Suppressing the uncomfortable feeling in his heart, Fang Zheng stepped forward, raised his hands and saluted, "Wei Chen You Sanqi Chang Shi Fang Zheng has met His Highness the Crown Prince."

The eunuch next to him stepped forward and scolded sternly: "How dare you! When you see the prince, you have to kneel down and bow. Don't you understand the rules? How did you become an official? Someone is here..."

"Step back." The prince waved away the yelling eunuch, then walked up to Fang Zheng and said with a smile: "Are you Fang Zheng? I have heard of you. You are a great hero of our Hua Dynasty.

I would like to thank you on behalf of all the people in the world."

The prince's words were very modest and his attitude was gentle, but Fang Zheng felt a strong sense of rejection in his heart. He had to admit that the relationship between people is innate, and the first impression often determines the future.

Friends are enemies.

"You must not be a minor minister. The real heroes are the spies who sneaked into the military camp and the warriors who raided the grasslands. The minor ministers are just paying lip service and cannot be considered heroes."

"Why should Mr. Fang be so modest? If Mr. Fang had not provided advice to the court this time, our country might have fallen to the Turkic cavalry long ago, and the people would have been miserable. Now that the country is preserved and the people can live in peace, it is all thanks to Mr. Fang.

That’s the merit.”

Has this guy finished hanging his bag of books? Fang Zheng was quite impatient. He unconsciously raised his head and looked at the sky, and said absently, "How dare you..."

When the prince saw that Fang Zheng was speaking perfunctorily to him, a look of irritation flashed in his eyes, but with a smile on his face he said: "I won't disturb Mr. Fang's official business. Please excuse me, Mr. Fang."

When Fang Zheng heard this, he quickly cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I have resigned."

Saying this, he didn't wait for the prince's expression and hurriedly turned around and left.

The prince suddenly stopped Fang Zheng and said with a smile: "Master Fang, I heard a few days ago that Miss Yanran from Qinhuai River was ransomed by you. Now that you have passed the imperial examination, double happiness comes to your door. I would like to congratulate you here."

Fang Zheng was stunned, what does this mean? Oh, why do ancient people always speak in convoluted ways? Wouldn't it be better to speak in plain language?

Fang Zheng bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." After saying this, he didn't dare to stay for a while, turned around and left.

Looking at Fang Zheng's retreating figure, a look of fierce resentment appeared on the prince's face, which made the eunuch beside him tremble all over.

Halfway through the walk, Fang Zheng suddenly remembered that the boat Yanran stayed in before was the prince's property! It was the fat man who didn't hesitate to fall out with the prince to redeem Yanran. No wonder the prince mentioned Yanran to me. Could it be that he wanted me to inherit him?

This favor?

Humph! Dreaming! The woman who is mine is mine after all, and the woman who is not mine is still mine, and I don’t accept anyone else’s affection.

It was time to turn on the lights when I got home. The entrance of Fang Mansion was brightly lit, the middle door was open, and more than fifty servants lined up in two rows, standing quietly at the door, looking straight ahead with solemn expressions. Wow, the quality of these people today.

He's very tall. It's different when he becomes an official. Have you ever seen them greet me with such a dignified attitude before?

Fang Zheng was very moved when he saw this. Look at how respectful everyone was to him. They were still queuing up to wait for him so late. For this kind of kindness, he should be rewarded.

Fang Zheng got off the carriage and walked forward, taking out some scattered silver from his arms, giving it to everyone he saw, giving it to everyone he saw...

All the servants were surprised and grateful, and they all bowed to express their thanks.

Xiao Wu stepped forward and pulled him, "Master, wait a moment, something doesn't seem right..."

Fang Zheng ignored him and gave to everyone he met, and gave to everyone he saw...

At this time, Butler Sun walked out from inside and said to everyone: "You are dismissed, let's go eat."

After receiving the reward, everyone dispersed with smiles on their faces.

Fang Zheng was stunned, and then he became a little unhappy, what are you doing? Is there anyone who welcomes people like this? I just finished giving the money, Master, I haven't even entered the door yet, why did everyone disperse?

After Butler Sun finished speaking, he looked up and saw Fang Zheng. He quickly came forward and said politely: "Master, you are back."

Fang Zheng pointed at the people's backs and said dissatisfied: "What's going on? I haven't even entered the door yet, why did they leave? Didn't they welcome me back?"

Butler Sun said: "Young Master misunderstood. His Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to deliver gifts just now. The Master said that the Crown Prince is the crown prince of a country and should open the central gate and line up to welcome him, so..."

Didn't these guys come to welcome me, young master, after all this fuss? Fang Zheng felt inexplicably sad and angry for a moment, so he chased after him and shouted loudly: "Give me back the money!"

…………

The side hall was filled with a dazzling array of gifts. Mr. Fang was sitting on the imperial chair, closing his eyes and concentrating. Mrs. Fang was looking through the gift list with a happy face.

Seeing Fang Zheng come in, Mrs. Fang stepped forward to greet him and rubbed Fang Zheng's head happily. She also thought that her son was already an official and noble person, and this kind of action was not appropriate, so she gently stroked his head.

few times.

"Zheng'er, you entered the palace for the first time today to meet the Holy Spirit, and His Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to deliver gifts. My son is so awesome that even His Highness the Crown Prince deliberately made friends with him." Mrs. Fang said happily.

Fang Zheng casually looked at the gift list and was shocked. His Highness the Crown Prince was so generous. Pearls from the East China Sea, corals from the South China Sea, boxes of gold ingots, mountains of silk and cloth... If these things were converted into silver, they would cost approximately

There are two to three hundred thousand taels.

What does this prince want to do? Is there anyone who can win over people like this? You look down on my young master’s personality! Is this young master the kind of person who can be easily won over?

"Steward Sun, ask people to move these things to the warehouse." Fang Zheng ordered loudly.

Mr. Fang frowned and said, "Zheng'er, have you known His Highness the Crown Prince before?"

"do not know."

"Then why did he give you such an expensive gift? Is there any hidden story in this? You have to think carefully whether you will accept this gift or not." Mr. Fang nodded implicitly to Fang Zheng.

"Dad, it's okay, just take it. Besides, if you go back now, I'm afraid you will definitely offend the prince. It's better to keep it. He can give it with peace of mind, and I can take it happily, haha." Fang Zheng said carelessly.

"Zheng'er, now that you are an official, you have to think carefully between your words and deeds, and don't miss your future."

Mrs. Fang was surprised and said: "So His Highness the Crown Prince had an inside story in giving the gift? Zheng'er, this... is inappropriate. It's better not to accept it. Find a way to return it. Our family is not short of money."

"Mom, it's okay. Let's put it in the warehouse first. The child will have his own thoughts." Fang Zheng said confidently.

How could I, the young master, spit out the food that I put in my mouth? No matter what the purpose of the prince's gift is, I will accept it without fail, young master. I am not the first person to accept gifts without doing anything...

"Zheng'er, what did the emperor say to you when you met the emperor today? Didn't you mess around in front of the emperor?" Mr. Fang looked at him worriedly.

"No, I think the emperor likes me quite a lot. Really, maybe he even wants to accept me as his son-in-law."

"You are not blocking your mouth! Be careful of trouble coming from your mouth!" Mr. Fang scolded.

Fang Zheng said casually: "By the way, dad, the emperor said that starting from tomorrow, I am allowed to go to court every day to discuss political affairs..."

"Oh? Are you serious?" Mr. Fang and his wife looked at each other happily, "I didn't expect that my son would be favored by the Holy Spirit so well. Zheng'er, you have to do your job well and don't let the emperor down."

"My child means..." Fang Zheng raised his head and glanced at his father, "...if I tell the emperor that my child doesn't want to go to court, I wonder if the emperor will agree..." His voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke, and he seemed very guilty.

.

"Why?" Master Fang frowned.

"The child feels that he is too young. Being ranked among the ministers at such a young age may not be a good thing..."

The most important thing is that he starts going to court every day at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning. How can Young Master Fang endure it with his lazy personality? Young Master Fang's ideal after time travel is to enjoy life, not to suffer.

"My son, being able to think like this proves that you are very sensible. Haha, I don't understand the affairs of the government, but since the emperor has arranged it like this, there must be a reason for it. Zheng'er, you can't do whatever you want." Mr. Fang.

Naturally, he didn't know that Fang Zheng still had such twists and turns in his heart, he stroked his long beard and smiled happily...

Fang Zheng respectfully said yes.

Returning to the small courtyard, Fang Zheng took off his official boots, lay down on the big bed, and stretched out. He was exhausted after half a day, and he kowtowed many times. This was not a good habit of ancient people.

What's the head? What a great handshake. It's polite and graceful, and it also saves time and effort.

What should I do in the morning court tomorrow? No one seems to tell me what to do, where to stand in the court, what etiquette to observe, etc. The emperor is so relieved and is not afraid that I will make a fool of myself? In other words, he likes to see me make a fool of myself.

?

Xiao Lu came in with a basin of hot water and said, "Master, wash your face."

When Fang Zheng saw Xiao Lu, he perked up and said, "Xiao Lu, can I take you to see the goldfish?"

"Master, stop playing around and wash your face quickly." Xiao Lu said angrily.

Although Xiao Lu's mother is still missing, the relationship between Fang Zheng and Xiao Lu has made a breakthrough. Now Xiao Lu is talking and laughing in front of Fang Zheng. This is a good sign - women are willing to be pushed.

Before, we were all talking and laughing.

"Xiao Lu, is it hot today? Don't wear too many clothes to sleep at night. Be careful of heart stroke. It's best not to wear anything while sleeping. Master, I am willing to fan you for free. It will be so cool." Fang Zheng hehe.

Laughter.

Xiao Lu stomped her feet in embarrassment: "Master! If you talk nonsense again, be careful... be careful of me..."

As he spoke, Xiao Lu looked around, took out a white porcelain tea cup cover from the Eight Immortals table, put it in the palm of his left hand, then let out a soft "ho" sound, slapped it hard with his right hand, and then slowly let go of his right hand.

The lid of the cup suddenly turned into fine powder.

Fang Zheng was dumbfounded. Is this still a human being? Could I have traveled back in time to a fantasy novel? I knew Xiao Lu could do martial arts, but I didn’t expect Xiao Lu’s martial arts to be so powerful. What if the palm just hit him?

, Is it even worse than being hit by the Bone-Transforming Cotton Palm?

"...Master, what's wrong with you?" Xiaolu patted the powder on his hand easily and looked at Fang Zheng as if to demonstrate. Seeing Fang Zheng's mouth wide open and motionless, he couldn't help but feel funny in his heart.

"Transform... bone mong... palm?" Fang Zheng asked stammering in fear.

Xiao Lu frowned her delicate eyebrows: "Bone Transforming Palm? Why does this name sound so sinister? It must not be a good choice."

"What you just did..."

"What Xiao Lu just used was the basic skills he used to practice in the past, clapping his hands. Xiao Lu used to clap hundreds of times every day when he was a child."

Is this just a basic skill in practicing? Does it still allow people to live?

Seeing that the deterrent action had achieved results, Xiao Lu nodded with satisfaction, stretched out her little hand and gently held Fang Zheng's chin, helping him close his open mouth.

"Master, don't worry, Xiao Lu is determined not to treat you like this. Xiao Lu just saw that you were so bad and wanted to scare you deliberately." Xiao Lu was stunned when he saw Fang Zheng and didn't say a word for a long time, thinking that he was scared.

It was broken, so he quickly explained.

"Little Green..."

"Um?"

"If I want to take pictures in the future, I will go to the kitchen and find a broken bowl to take pictures of. This cup lid is made of fine porcelain from the official kiln. It only costs twenty taels of silver a set. What a pity!"

"…………"
