Chapter 166: Love at First Sight
Korean government.
In the main hall.
Hu Fei, who originally understood that today was a blind date set up by Li Shanchang and his son, was planning to leave. The first time he saw Princess Anqing, he could no longer move forward. His eyes looked at Princess Anqing as if he was crazy.
It was said that women in ancient times were good-looking, but he didn't expect that there would be such good-looking ones. Regardless of their clothing, body shape, and appearance, almost everything met his criteria for choosing a mate.
In just a moment, he put all his previous worries behind him.
No matter how many dangers there are, so what? Even if you are going to die, you cannot miss the beauty in front of you!
At this time, Princess Anqing was also looking at him. This was also the first time that Princess Anqing had seen Hu Fei so close.
With their eyes facing each other, the two seemed to have seen through each other's past and present lives, and could no longer take their eyes away from each other.
Princess Lin'an, who was standing aside, frowned slightly when she saw the two of them standing still, and coughed softly.
Hearing her sister's cough, Princess Anqing came back to her senses. Her face instantly turned red, and she lowered her head shyly. Her heart couldn't help beating, and the shadow of Hu Fei could no longer be left in her mind.
Li Shanchang and Li Qi, who were sitting nearby, glanced at each other, and both saw a hint of a smile that was just right in each other's eyes.
"The prodigal son, so rude, deserves the title of the most dandy in the capital!"
Princess Lin'an saw Hu Fei's unscrupulous behavior and still looked directly into Princess Anqing's eyes, snorted coldly and said.
"My fair lady, a gentleman is so kind. Seeing such a beauty, even an immortal would probably be moved by his heart."
Hu Fei smiled and couldn't help but say.
"Glib! Changshu, let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Princess Lin'an seemed to have lost her impression of Hu Fei instantly. She turned around and pulled her sister to leave.
Princess Anqing was stunned for a moment and looked at Princess Lin'an reluctantly, but she couldn't say anything.
At this moment, Li Qi stood up in a hurry, came to Princess Lin'an, winked, and stopped her.
"Since you're here, let's sit down for a while before talking, otherwise we will be the ones who lose etiquette."
Li Qi came close to Princess Lin'an's ear and whispered.
Princess Lin'an frowned after listening to Li Qi's words, then stopped, turned around helplessly, held her sister's hand and sat at the table, but tried to keep as far away from Hu Fei as possible.
"My dear brother, let me introduce to you, this is Princess Lin'an, and this is Princess Anqing."
Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief, quickly turned to look at Hu Fei, pointed at Princess Lin'an and Princess Anqing who were seated, and introduced them with a smile.
When Hu Fei heard this, he quickly bowed and saluted.
"My Hu Fei, I have met the eldest princess and Princess Anqing."
Hu Fei saluted and said respectfully, but the eyes he looked at the two of them were different. He looked at Princess Lin'an with respect, but looked at Princess Anqing with undisguised admiration.
"My dear nephew, didn't you just say that you have something urgent to leave? If it's really urgent, it won't be too late for us to get together another day."
Li Shanchang looked at Hu Fei, pretending to be concerned and said with a hint of laughter in his eyes.
"Oh, thank you uncle, but I'm not in a hurry now. It's okay."
"Since both princesses are present, it would be rude for my nephew to leave at this time. It would not be a problem to delay him for a while."
Hu Fei smiled awkwardly, sat back on the chair, and glanced at Princess Anqing intentionally or unintentionally.
Princess Anqing, by this time, was already feeling confused, her face was red, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Hu Fei again.
"Master Hu is so famous in the capital that even if he lives deep in the palace, he is still heard in the ears. If you really have something important to do, just leave on your own."
Princess Lin'an looked at Hu Fei and said slowly. She seemed to be polite and thinking about Hu Fei, but in fact she just didn't want to spend any more time with Hu Fei.
If it weren't for Li Shanchang's presence, I'm afraid he would have turned around and left with his sister.
"Thank you cousin sister-in-law for your tolerance. It really doesn't matter, I won't miss this meal."
Hu Fei smiled, cupped his hands and said gratefully.
"What did you call me?!"
After hearing Hu Fei's words, Princess Lin'an was obviously stunned for a moment and asked with a frown.
Li Shanchang and Li Qi on the side almost laughed out loud, but they had long been accustomed to Hu Fei's unconventional acting style.
"Cousin-in-law, I call the prince-in-law my cousin, and the eldest princess is naturally my cousin-in-law. Since today is a family dinner, I should naturally call the eldest princess my cousin-in-law."
"Is there anything wrong?"
Hu Fei smiled and explained slowly.
He has already seen that if he wants to get close to Princess Anqing, he must first coax this sister-in-law.
After hearing Hu Fei's explanation, Princess Lin'an moved her lips but was speechless for a moment.
"No, my dear brother is right. Since it's a family banquet, there shouldn't be so many rules. It's okay to call me cousin, and it seems cordial."
Li Qi on the side spoke up at the right time to smooth things over, with a smile on his face.
He admired Hu Fei's ease in dealing with it from the bottom of his heart. He had also encountered a similar situation when he married Princess Lin'an, but he was not as comfortable as Hu Fei.
"Everyone calls Mr. Hu the number one dude in the capital. They also say that although you are known as the God of Poetry, you are a businessman who is keen on businessmanship. You are full of the smell of copper, which is an insult to the name of the God of Poetry. I don't know.
What do you think of this rumor?"
Princess Lin'an hesitated for a moment, looked at Hu Fei and said again.
After hearing what Princess Lin'an said, before Hu Fei could answer, Li Qi frowned and glanced at his wife in confusion. He didn't expect that his wife would suddenly be so different today and have such a big prejudice against Hu Fei.
"As the son of the Prime Minister, everything he says and does is under the attention of everyone. No matter what he does, he will inevitably arouse criticism from others. When I was young and pregnant, I did a lot of things that were disgraceful to my father.
.”
"But since I died last time, I have completely woken up. I plan to change my ways and strive to be a useful person to the court and the Ming Dynasty. I don't seek merit, but I seek no faults."
"As for the name of the God of Poetry, cousin, I have never regarded myself as the God of Poetry. The words I wrote were just what I felt at the moment. Unexpectedly, I was called the God of Poetry by the world from now on. My cousin is really ashamed."
Hu Fei cupped his hands and said modestly.
After hearing Hu Fei's explanation, a trace of surprise flashed across Princess Lin'an's brows, as if she did not expect Hu Fei to be so humble.
Princess Anqing on the side secretly raised her head and glanced at Hu Fei, her eyes full of praise and admiration.
She usually talked a lot, but after meeting Hu Fei, she was embarrassed to say anything for some reason, and she didn't speak from the beginning to the end.
"My dear brother, your words are too modest. Which of the poems you have written before is not famous all over the world? Even His Majesty is full of praise. You are definitely worthy of the name of the God of Poetry."
Li Qi smiled and couldn't help but speak.
"My cousin is laughing at it. Those words and sentences are just based on my feelings after reading too many books. Maybe they are just embezzling the ancient wisdom."
Hu Fei waved his hand and said with a smile.
"I didn't expect that my good nephew is not only not arrogant but also a person who is not greedy for fame and fortune. I really admire him."
Li Shanchang looked at Hu Fei, who had always been modest, and couldn't help but praise him.
"Uncle, please stop boasting, otherwise my cousin will think that you and your cousin are deliberately excusing your nephew, and she will look down upon your nephew even more."
Hu Fei smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said.
"I heard that at the poetry and calligraphy conference of Wenxian Hall before, a poem you wrote without thinking about it won everyone. If you really have the talent of a poet, you might as well write a poem now.
Let me see, if you can write a good poem within half a stick of incense, I will retract all my previous words."
As soon as Hu Fei finished speaking, Princess Lin'an on the side said directly, as if she wanted to deliberately expose Hu Fei's modesty.
After listening to Princess Lin'an's words, Li Shanchang and Li Qi frowned at the same time and looked at Princess Lin'an in confusion, who suddenly became so unruly today.
"You don't need half a stick of incense, it's enough at the snap of your fingers."
Hu Fei shook his head and said lightly, with a relaxed smile on his face, but deep down he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
He knew that this was a deliberate attempt by his aunt to make things difficult.
After hearing Hu Fei's answer, the four people present were stunned, especially Princess Lin'an. She didn't expect Hu Fei to be so brazen, but she soon understood and knew that Hu Fei was deliberately competing with her.
