Feng Ren came out of the palace with a cold expression.
"Huaiyu, let's go."
Feng Jin secretly glanced at his father and then listened to the sounds of things being smashed and the terrified screams of the palace maids. After hesitating for a while, he decisively followed his father's footsteps. He was extremely disappointed in the Emperor and had completely given up.
As Feng Ren expected, the emperor only rewarded Feng Jin with a large amount of money and medicinal herbs. He didn't mention how to deal with the messengers from the Northern Borderline. He didn't even try to hide the fact that he was defending the people from the Northern Borderline.
Even though Feng Ren threatened him with resignation, the other party was determined and even secretly felt a little happy.
Although Feng Ren was the head of the secretariat, he was still an official. No matter how insignificant he was, he was still an official.
If he took the initiative to resign, the emperor could install his confidant and gradually increase his voice in the court.
He thought of Secretary Liu's reaction. When he heard that Feng Ren intended to resign, he hurriedly went to report, but the emperor was overjoyed … When he put the two reactions together, Feng Ren almost laughed … An emperor's foresight was not as far-sighted as a eunuch!
If the Feng family continued to follow such an emperor, they would be doomed.
It was a good strategy to escape as soon as possible.
When it came to chess skills, even ten Lu Zheng could not beat Wei Ci, who was full of schemes.
"I don't want to play chess with you anymore. Every time I play, I feel like I'm punching cotton. I feel very aggrieved."
Lu Zheng saw that he had lost the upper hand on the chessboard, so he quickly admitted defeat. It would be self-torture to continue playing chess.
He wanted to find Jiang Pengji for comfort, but when he turned around, he found that she had disappeared.
"Zixiao, did you see where Lanting went?" Lu Zheng asked casually.
Wei Ci said, "He left a quarter of an hour ago. I guess he went to bed."
Lu Zheng nodded and immediately reacted. He gritted his teeth and wanted to strangle the person in front of him.
"You were playing chess with me 15 minutes ago, and now you have the time to pay attention to others!"
Wei Ci was speechless.
Jiang Pengji was watching them play, but she knew that Lu Zheng would lose when she saw the chess. She suddenly lost the mood to continue watching.
She did not obediently go to bed like Wei Ci had told her to. Instead, she changed into a set of light clothes and went to drink wine with Liu She.
Yes, drinking with prostitutes, and bringing Liu She along.
Liu She: What can I do? I'm desperate too!
Liu She didn't even dare to touch his daughter's glass of wine as he watched her drink like it was water.
"What's bothering you?" he asked.
Jiang Pengji dismissed her attendants and asked Liu She, "Father, did you mean it when you said you wanted to marry my sister to Wuma Jun?"
Liu She furrowed his brows and replied, "Of course it's true. As your father, I've also said that you don't need to settle the grudges of the previous generation …"
"In that case, I have a presumptuous request."
Jiang Pengji's eyes lit up, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in them.
"What?"
Jiang Pengji said, "I want to find a girl with outstanding looks to be my sister's dowry. I want her to marry Wuma Jun."
Nansheng was already in chaos. The four factions of Nanman had directed their troops towards Nansheng's capital city. Out of the five countries in the world, one was about to perish. She could not wait any longer.
Liu Xi's current body would only be 13 years old in a few months. In a few years, no one knew what the situation would be like in the world. Jiang Pengji planned to start planning now, instead of waiting until then to passively enter the game.
Liu She was a little dumbfounded.
He understood that his daughter was probably going to use a honey trap to make the already chaotic situation even worse. At the same time, she would secretly gain some benefits. A honey trap and pillow talk could be considered a good idea, but Wuma Jun was only an unfavored prince on the surface …
Jiang Pengji only sneered coldly at this.
"Does the Dongqing royal family still have such a thing as moral integrity? They can humiliate their officials' wives, kill their brothers and snatch their sisters-in-law, and kill their parents. How can they lack a concubine who snatches their sons? Rather than directly sending the beauty to him, it's better to let him snatch her himself. That way, it won't arouse suspicion.
"Also, try to make this girl look similar to Wuma Jun's mother, Wang Shi."
Jiang Pengji tapped her fingers on the tea table and added.
Liu She's hands trembled when he heard that. The teacup that he was holding suddenly fell on the table, spilling tea all over the table.
His face became extremely ugly. After Jiang Pengji saw it, she revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."
"What you said is not difficult. I'll send someone to look for her."
Liu She tried hard to maintain a calm expression. He was afraid that he would reveal any unnecessary emotions.
Jiang Pengji acted as if she did not see Liu She's loss of composure. She continued to leisurely drink her wine with a faint smile on her lips.
Liu She, who was beside her, was anxious and fearful. As time went by, the psychological pressure that his daughter put on him increased.
Spending the night in the red-light district, enjoying a night of singing and dancing, it was indescribably carefree.
When the sun hung high in the sky the next day, Jiang Pengji returned to the hot spring house with the smell of alcohol.
"Where the hell did you come from?"
Lu Zheng saw her and was about to greet her, but he was scared away by the various colors of rouge on her body. The rouge smelled good, but it could not withstand the strong smell of alcohol. The combination of the two was a kind of olfactory torture for people who were used to smelling all kinds of incense.
"Changqing Alley. That's not a hell of a place."
Jiang Pengji soaked her face with a wet towel. She looked much more sober.
Lu Zheng was speechless.
Even though it was his first time in Shangjing and his first time soaking in the hot spring, he knew what kind of place Changqing Alley was.
It was a gentle place for men and a red-light district where all kinds of beauties gathered.
The teenager in front of him was not even fully grown yet, right?
"The wine there is delicious and the music is not bad. If you like it, I'll bring you there later."
Lu Zheng quickly agreed to Jiang Pengji's invitation. "How … How can I accept that … But I heard that there are many talented women in Changqing Alley who are full of knowledge. Many young and talented men will always have a poetry competition in order to win a beauty's smile … I really want to see it."
Wei Ci was speechless.
He glanced at Lu Zheng, who was slightly eager to try, and then looked at Jiang Pengji. He snorted coldly.
Seeing Wei Ci walk past them, Lu Zheng said with a bitter face, "Zixiao has never liked to be close to women. He looks down on that kind of place. He heard our conversation just now … I hope he won't say anything in front of Master …"
"He won't say anything," Jiang Pengji said with certainty.
Lu Zheng asked, "How do you know?"
Jiang Pengji found it funny and answered, "Intuition."
Wei Ci did not say anything, but Jiang Pengji and Lu Zheng could not go to Changqing Alley because Master Yuanjing left Ji Shan with his students in the afternoon. Seeing that, Liu She felt that soaking in the hot spring was boring, so he took Jiang Pengji and hitched a ride with them. They went down the mountain together.
When they arrived at the city gate, they were still talking and laughing when a piece of shocking news came.
