East Palace.

apse.

Hu Fei followed Xiao Qi into the main hall slowly. He looked up and saw Prince Zhu Biao sitting on the sofa, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"The humble minister Hu Fei, please see His Highness the Crown Prince."

Hu Fei walked closer, bowed respectfully, and said loudly.

"There are no outsiders here, no need to be polite."

Zhu Biao smiled, waved his hand, and said slowly.

"In front of His Highness, no humble minister dares to make a mistake."

Hu Fei smiled, cupped his hands and said.

"You? Is there anything you dare not do wrong? This is the first time I have heard of it."

Zhu Biao smiled and said jokingly.

After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Hu Fei grinned and did not admit it, but he did not deny it either.

The entire capital knew that he was an unruly person.

"I heard about your verbal battle with everyone in the Governor's Mansion, and also heard about the poem you carved in the meeting hall with a golden dragon dagger. I never thought that you still have such ambitions."

Zhu Biao changed the subject, looked at Hu Fei, and said seriously, his eyes full of approval.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given you too much praise."

Hu Fei smiled and shook his head.

"I am not deliberately praising you, but to be fair, you have such ambitions and you are not in vain for my expectations."

"I heard that my father has issued a decree to the Governor's Office, instructing the Governor's Office not to remove that poem, and to use it to warn everyone."

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Fei and said seriously.

"Your Majesty shows his love so much that it scares all the ministers."

Hu Fei pretended to be surprised and said with flattered hands.

"This is the favor you deserve. If you can continue like this, you will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future, and sooner or later you will become a famous minister. I hope you will not disappoint me."

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Fei and said in a deep voice, his eyes full of expectation.

"His Royal Highness's support will never be forgotten by me. I don't seek to achieve great success, but only seek to contribute my small contribution to the court."

Hu Fei raised his hands and answered equally seriously.

After hearing Hu Fei's answer, Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Xiao Qi standing aside, his eyes full of expectation.

Xiao Qi noticed Zhu Biao's gaze, bowed his hands, and then turned his head and glanced in Hu Fei's direction.

Zhu Biao and Xiao Qi's glances at each other naturally did not hide it from Hu Fei's eyes.

"Your Highness, Wei Chen has personally brought the original copy of that poem."

Hu Fei smiled and said, taking out the rolled-up letter from his sleeve and holding it up with both hands.

Seeing the copybook, Zhu Biao's face showed a look of joy, and he hurriedly came to Hu Fei, reached out to take it, and couldn't wait to open it and read it.

"Flying dragons and flying phoenixes, full of ambition!"

"Good calligraphy and even better poetry!"

"You are worthy of the name of the God of Poetry!"

Zhu Biao nodded frequently while looking at the copybook in his hand. The approval on his face could not be concealed at all.

"His Highness is so generous with his praise, I am ashamed that I can't deserve it."

Hu Fei smiled and cupped his hands and said.

"With such good calligraphy and poetry, you certainly deserve such praise, why don't you dare!"

Zhu Biao looked up at Hu Fei and said seriously.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Then what does His Highness intend to exchange for it?"

Hu Fei smiled and cupped his hands, then changed the topic and asked.

"You're welcome..."

"Hand in exchange?"

Zhu Biao shook his head and turned to look at Hu Fei in confusion, with a confused look on his face.

But Xiao Qi, who was standing aside, had a stiff expression and heard the meaning of Hu Fei's words.

"Yes, Wei Chen promised to sell 100 authentic copies of this poem today and auction them off in batches. Originally, military personnel, literati, wealthy businessmen, and ordinary people will each get 25 copies. The one with the highest price will get it."

"But now Wei Chen has given a post to His Highness. Naturally, someone will get it because of it. They will definitely criticize Wei Chen behind his back. His Highness may not know the feeling of being pointed at behind his back, but Wei Chen

I have endured this kind of suffering over the years..."

"Just tell me what you want!?"

Hu Fei talked a lot, which made Zhu Biao frown for a while. Finally, he couldn't listen anymore and asked straight to the point.

He had already heard that Hu Fei would not give this message in vain.

"Your Highness, although Hanlin Xuanzhong is estimated to have fetched a sky-high price at this time, not to mention a thousand taels, there must be several hundred taels."

"But Wei Chen can't collect money from His Highness, right? If possible, Your Highness can barter with Wei Chen."

Hu Fei said with a smile on his face and cupped his hands.

After hearing Hu Fei's answer, Zhu Biao's expression became stiff and he stared at Hu Fei, unable to say a word for a long time.

Xiao Qi on the side shook his head helplessly. They said that the number one dude in the capital was extremely bold, and he had seen it with his own eyes today.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Seeing Zhu Biao's sullen expression, Hu Fei had already gone too far, but he didn't expect Zhu Biao to laugh uncontrollably and sit back on the chair again.

"Don't be so nonsense. Just tell me what you want. I am happy today. As long as it is not excessive, I will agree to it."

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Fei and said proudly.

Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Hu Fei breathed a sigh of relief and grinned a few times.

"Wei Chen does not want any rare treasures. He just wants to ask for a favor from His Highness. As for when this favor will be returned to Wei Chen, it is entirely up to His Highness himself."

Hu Fei cupped his hands and said with a smile.

After hearing Hu Fei's answer, Zhu Biao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

To please people?

This is the first time he has heard of such a favor.

And with Hu Fei's temperament, since he had agreed, he was bound to ask for some long-coveted reward, but he didn't expect it to be a mere favor.

"Are you sure?"

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Fei and asked hesitantly.

"Definitely and definitely."

Hu Fei nodded and said seriously, with a relaxed smile on his face.

Zhu Biao frowned and looked Hu Fei up and down again, as if he didn't recognize Hu Fei.

"Okay, I promise you."

After a long time, Zhu Biao nodded hesitantly and said.

"I thank you, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, if there is nothing else, I will retire now."

Hu Fei bowed his hands in thanks and then said.

"Okay, nothing happens anymore, please step back."

Zhu Biao nodded and said with a smile.

Immediately, Hu Fei said goodbye to Zhu Biao and quickly left the East Palace.

But as soon as Hu Fei left, Zhu Biao noticed something was wrong.

"That's not right. Why is this kid so weird today? He's walking in such a hurry. It's a little different from usual."

Zhu Biao hesitated, frowned and muttered to himself.

"Perhaps he was in a hurry to go back to Hanlin Pavilion to count his money. When I went to Hanlin Pavilion, I saw hundreds or even thousands of people queuing up there."

Xiao Qi said hesitantly.

"No! He used an authentic calligraphy to exchange a favor with me. It's definitely not simple!"
