What Zhao Feng didn't expect was that he had to wait all afternoon. It was not until it was getting late that Zhou Ruicai and Li Wanyi came to the door of the house talking and laughing.
Zhao Feng had been waiting in the small room near the door. When he heard Li Wanyi's voice, he walked out directly.
"Your Highness, Miss Li, it seems you had a great time today!"
Zhou Rui and Li Wanyi looked up and saw that it was Zhao Feng who looked a little embarrassed. Li Wanyi blushed even more, as if the matter had been revealed.
Zhao Feng didn't say anything, but looked at Zhou Rui.
"Your Highness, although you are a prince, if you are interested in Miss Li, you need to marry her through a matchmaker and a sedan chair, and she cannot be a concubine!"
Zhao Feng said this and turned to look at Li Wanyi who was blushing with shame.
Li Wanyi ran behind Zhao Feng and said softly.
"Mr. Zhao, you misunderstood, we haven't..."
Zhao Feng waved his hand and looked at Zhou Rui with a smile.
"I have always regarded Miss Li as my sister, so I can be considered a member of my natal family. I wonder if Your Highness can agree to my request?"
Zhou Rui suddenly understood that although he and Zhao Feng had a relatively deep friendship, Zhao Feng was talking to him as Li Wanyi's natal family, so Zhou Rui nodded seriously.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhao, I will definitely not let down Miss Li!"
Zhao Feng nodded slowly, and the serious expression on his face suddenly disappeared and turned into a gentle smile.
"Then the eldest prince wants to come in and sit down?"
Zhou Rui was a little embarrassed by Zhao Feng's sudden change and quickly waved his hand.
"No need, I'll go back first."
Zhao Feng and Li Wanyi each saluted.
"Congratulations to Your Highness!"
Zhou Rui walked back with some reluctance. After taking a few steps, he turned back to take a look at Li Wanyi.
Zhao Feng watched Li Wanyi's reaction from the side and realized that Li Wanyi seemed to be a little reluctant to leave, and had been watching Zhou Rui's back.
It wasn't until Zhou Rui walked far away and turned the corner that Zhao Feng smiled, looked at Li Wanyi and said.
"Okay, Miss Li, he has gone far, let's go back first."
Li Wanyi nodded and looked at Zhao Feng very gratefully.
"Mr. Zhao, our Li family relies on Mr. Zhao's help to survive. In fact, I have already regarded Mr. Zhao as my support."
"But can this really be the case?"
Zhao Feng knew that Li Wanyi was talking about how he asked Zhou Rui to treat Li Wanyi as his wife.
At this time, Zhao Feng did not dare to confirm, but looked at the direction Zhou Rui was leaving with a calm expression and said.
"As the saying goes, everything depends on people. If you two really want to be together, you have to go both ways. This is truly perfect love."
Li Wanyi never thought that such words would come out of Zhao Feng's mouth. She immediately turned red with embarrassment and ran into the house.
Zhao Feng sighed softly. Things on his side were easy to solve, but Zhou Rui still had a lot of troubles.
This time, Zhou Rui took Li Wanyi to dinner. After Li Wanyi came back, she seemed to be very tired and took a rest.
Early the next morning, Zhao Feng had just arrived at the Zhongshu Provincial Yamen when he heard the officials gossiping.
"Have you heard? This morning, the eldest prince went to His Majesty's study room. I heard that the father and son had a quarrel!"
"Yes, this matter has spread throughout the palace. Some eunuchs even heard the eldest prince himself saying that he was going to be crowned king!"
"Then do we have to take sides? After all, when it's too late, we won't be able to please both sides!"
After hearing the discussions of those officials, Zhao Feng walked over directly and asked with a smile.
"What are you talking about?"
Seeing Zhao Feng, the officials suddenly became silent. They all shook their heads in embarrassment and returned to their jobs.
Zhao Feng curled his lips. As a popular figure in Zhou Zhen's eyes, it was normal for him to be unpopular among the yamen. After all, Zhou Zhen only discussed many matters with him, a member of Zhongshu Ling, and completely ignored Zhongshu Ling, Shangshu Ling, etc. Set aside to dry.
To put it bluntly, he is just a fifth-grade middle school scholar, and he has already taken over many things on his behalf.
But there was nothing we could do about it. He was the one leading the New Deal, and the policies he proposed had already made some officials dissatisfied with him.
Zhao Feng didn't think too much, but dealt with today's memorials and went directly to the Imperial Study Room with the remaining memorials.
Arriving at the door of the royal study, Liu Wei winked at Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng showed a smile, indicating that he was confident, and walked in directly.
But soon Zhou Zhen's angry voice came from inside.
"Didn't you say don't let anyone come in and bother me?"
"You...it's you, come in!"
Zhao Feng smiled and put the memorials on Zhou Zhen's desk, then said with cupped hands.
"Why is Your Majesty so angry? You must take care of your dragon body!"
When Zhou Zhen heard this, he immediately glared at Zhao Feng angrily.
"You still have the nerve to say, isn't it all because of you?"
"I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup you poured into Zhou Rui, so that he would come to me before dawn in the morning and ask me to grant him a marriage!"
"He even wants to make that girl from the Li family his official business. I don't agree. He also said that he would rather be crowned king than let her be his princess!"
Zhou Zhen said this very complainingly, and after finishing speaking, the depression in his heart also disappeared a little.
Zhao Feng smiled and cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, how about your Majesty grant them a favor and let the lovers finally get married!"
Zhou Zhen laughed angrily and pointed at Zhao Feng.
"If you dare to joke again, I will let Liu Wei hit you 50 times!"
Zhao Feng quickly shook his head and said respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I just wanted to test the eldest prince yesterday. Now that I see that he actually offends Long Yan early in the morning for Miss Li, I already believe that he can treat Miss Li well!"
Zhou Zhen nodded slowly, sighed softly, and said.
"That's right. I never thought he would be so persistent for a woman."
"Speaking of which, he has always had the character of neither fighting nor fighting since he was a child. Even among these princes, I dislike him the most. I think he is too mediocre!"
Zhao Feng sighed softly. As Zhou Rui, he was in such an embarrassing position. If he didn't be moderate, how could he save himself?
It's a pity that Zhou Zhen didn't see this. I guess this is also a father's expectation for his son to hate iron.
Zhao Feng rolled his eyes and suddenly had a good idea.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan..."
Zhou Zhen showed a curious expression.
