The person who said this was Dou Shiyuan.
After that day at Chunhui Tower, Dou Shiyuan paid more attention to Princess Changding. Of course, he knew that a young soldier named Cao Ning was going to challenge her.
As soon as he heard about this, he knew that Princess Changding was asking for thousands of gold to buy horse bones.
What happened next was just as he expected, Cao Ning, a soldier, finally joined Princess Changding's team.
Maybe, this Cao Ning was arranged by Princess Changding.
He is extremely concerned about who will join Princess Changding's team, because he knows that this is not only related to Princess Changding's assessment in the martial arts pavilion, but also related to her layout and arrangements in the army.
If he guessed correctly, this team was the prototype of Princess Changding's team in the army.
What kind of person Princess Changding chooses can, to some extent, tell what kind of path Princess Changding will take.
In fact, why does he care about what kind of path Princess Changding will take in the army?
He has not yet thought about the request that Princess Changding made at Chunhui Tower.
At this time, the steward next to him brought a greeting card with a solemn look on his face and said: "Sir, this is a message from the Taifu's Mansion. Du Fengju, the youngest son of the Taifu, invites you to come to the house for a gathering..."
Dou Shiyuan was deeply surprised when he heard that the greeting came from the youngest son of the Taifu.
Taifu Du Tong was a legendary figure in the country. They were both officials in the court, so of course they had some contacts, but they didn't have a close friendship.
After all, their qualifications and ages are so different.
As for Tai Fu Du Tong’s youngest son, he has never had any contact with him!
He didn't even know what Taifu Du's youngest son looked like.
The only thing he knew about him was that he was weak and left Beijing when he was a child, and only returned to Jingzhao from Hedong Road this year...
Oh, and there is also the relationship between him and Princess Changding.
It is said that the first time the young son of the Grand Tutor received a greeting card and submitted a greeting card for the first time, it was to Princess Changding's mansion.
Now, Taifu Du's youngest son sent him a letter of thanks, so he couldn't help but think too much about it.
Is this... for Princess Changding?
Dou Shiyuan pondered for a long time, and then said: "Please accept this invitation.".
Regardless of the purpose of the Taifu's youngest son's invitation, since it was an invitation from the Taifu's Mansion, it was hard for him to refuse.
It just so happened that he was quite curious about Taifu Du's youngest son and wanted to know his purpose.
Even if it is related to Princess Changding, he is not afraid.
Not being able to take refuge was never his style.
Dou Shiyuan had imagined what Taifu Du's youngest son looked like, but when he actually saw him, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Tutor Du's youngest son was completely different from what he imagined!
Grand Tutor Du Tong was such a handsome and elegant figure, which is unforgettable. Dou Shiyuan was also deeply impressed by his talent, learning, bearing and even appearance!
Unexpectedly, Taifu Du's youngest son turned out to be so... ordinary in appearance.
Du Fengju smiled, poured tea for Dou Shiyuan, and said with a smile: "Master Dou, is it true that my father and I look very different?"
Dou Shiyuan said sternly: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. Please don't blame me, Mr. Du."
You really shouldn't judge people by their appearance, he just...
In any case, he has been an official in the government for several years and still behaves like this, which is really inappropriate.
Du Fengju smiled and shook his head, saying: "It doesn't matter, I'm used to it, Master Dou, don't worry about it."
The two exchanged pleasantries with each other and talked a lot.
Dou Shiyuan followed Du Fengju's invitation and drank tea in the breeze, feeling quite content with himself.
He really wanted to know why Du Fengju invited him, but if the other party didn't tell him, he wouldn't ask more questions. Instead, while drinking tea, he looked at Du Fengju with great interest.
He is several years older than Du Fengju. If Du Fengju had grown up in Jingzhao, maybe they would have gotten to know each other.
However, Du Fengju had been in Hedong. When he returned to Jingzhao, he had already become an official.
Their life trajectories and future directions were completely different, and he really couldn't think of any reason why Du Fengju would invite him to meet him.
The only reason he could think of was Princess Changding.
For some reason, facing Du Fengju, he suddenly thought of Mr. Yuguang.
Perhaps it was because the young son of the Grand Tutor and Mr. Yuguang were close in age and both were related to Princess Changding.
Compared to Du Fengju, he had more interactions with Mr. Yuguang, and they had quite a lot of contacts on a daily basis.
Mr. Yuguang enjoys many praises in Jingzhao and is much more famous than the youngest son of the Imperial Tutor, but I don’t know why he was confused about the engagement with Princess Changding...
However, the word "love" is the most difficult to describe.
Isn't that the case for him towards the fifteenth princess? Who are you to say that others are confused?
Du Fengju looked at Dou Shiyuan and thought that this doctor from the Ministry of Civil Service Examination Department was indeed too young. No wonder His Highness favored him.
Du Fengju took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "Master Dou, are you confused? I have never interacted with you, so why would I invite you to come and meet me?"
Dou Shiyuan saw that the other party had finally entered the topic, nodded and replied: "That's true, Mr. Du, are you willing to help me clear up my doubts?"
Du Fengju smiled and said: "Master Dou is in a high position at a young age, so I am not as good as me. I just heard that Master Dou has a lot of experience in food, and I am greedy for delicious food, so I want to communicate with Master Dou. I want to see Master Dou." Don’t hesitate to give me advice.”
"In terms of diet?"
Dou Shiyuan looked at Du Feng's sentence and couldn't understand the meaning for a while.
"Yes." Du Fengju smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Dou recommended the tea at Chunhui Tower, and I plan to try it too."
Hearing the three words "Chunhui Tower", Dou Shiyuan understood.
Sure enough, Taifu Du's youngest son is for Princess Changding!
From what it sounds like, is this an argument for Princess Changding?
He had heard before that the relationship between Taifu Du and Concubine Jiang had eased. Could it be that the relationship had not eased and they had formed an alliance?
"I don't understand Mr. Du's meaning." Dou Shiyuan said calmly and began to call himself my official.
Since the other party was negotiating for Princess Changding, the nature of the invitation was completely different, and his response was completely different.
Du Fengju took a sip of tea and still smiled: "Master Dou understands. I asked Master Dou to come here not to make excuses for His Highness, but just to show Master Dou something."
After that, he took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeves and handed them to Dou Shiyuan: "Master Dou, you might as well take a look first."
Dou Shiyuan looked down at the pieces of paper and did not move.
He didn't know what it was, but he thought it wasn't a good thing.
Moreover, he also had a stronger intuition that once he took over these pieces of paper, the situation he would face would be completely different.
This kind of intuition was gained through his experience in the officialdom and was always very accurate, allowing him to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune many times.
The ordinary-looking young man opposite him was looking at him with a smile and a pair of auspicious eyes. The hand he handed to him was steady, without any pressure or urging.
Dou Shiyuan was silent for a long time, and finally reached out and took the pieces of paper.
At this sight, his expression changed.
