In a restaurant outside, a game of chess was placed on the table.
Fu Huaiyu somewhat playfully raised his pair of peach blossom eyes, and in front of him, was a broken game, looking as though he was holding his chin with interest. Now that the game was complete, he did not know, that the person playing chess with him, was really interesting.
With so many matters in the court now and the border issue at hand, everyone was extremely busy in a short period of time.
An official with a high position had to follow the changes in the situation. If he was not careful, it was highly likely that he would be set on fire!
Currently, in Jingya's study, Prime Minister Liu was frowning. Accompanying a tiger like monarch, now that he had achieved the position of prime minister, was obviously not something that could be easily obtained. It was even harder to give up this feeling when he was in the center of power.
Fu Huaiyu casually picked up a black chess piece and put it down.
Suddenly, Bai Zi fell down, turning the situation around, and Bai Zi became the one being restrained. Fu Huaiyu smiled sinisterly, now it was time.
"Men, prepare the horses!" Following which, the attendant accepted the order and quickly went to prepare the ingredients.
He put down the black piece in his hand. This game of chess was not urgent at all. If it were to end now, how boring would that be? It would still take a few days for it to end.
"Phew …" The horse's cry was accompanied by a cloud of dust. Fu Yuheng somersaulted and jumped off the horse. As he looked at the enormous Prime Minister Manor, a hint of amusement flashed through his peach blossom eyes.
Reporting, old master, the Ninth Prince is here. He said that he has something important to discuss with the old master and is currently in the great hall. Just as the Prime Minister was dealing with the matter, the servant at the door came to report. Prime Minister Liu quickly put down the brush in his hand with a face full of shock.
"Quick, invite Ninth Prince!" Prime Minister Liu anxiously stood up, he was still wary of Fu Huaiyu, he was not an ordinary person, and now, he actually found him, it seemed like it was not a simple matter!
"Hahaha, Prime Minister Liu's study is quite unique." The corner of Fu Huaiyu's mouth revealed a smile, even his peach blossom eyes revealed a bit of a smile, but in the eyes of the Prime Minister Liu, it was not that relaxed.
"Ninth Prince is too kind." After that, he ordered the servants to serve him some tea and invited him to take a seat.
"Speaking of which, Prime Minister Liu, how have you been?!"
That light and elegant greeting caused the Prime Minister Liu to start trembling uncontrollably, "Haha, I am indebted to Ninth Prince for your concern. May I know why you have come today?" He suppressed the fear in his heart and smiled. However, his heart was not as relaxed as it looked on the surface.
"Phew, but it's good tea!" Facing his question, Fu Huaiyu did not immediately answer. Instead, he took care of himself and raised the jade cup. The faint aroma of the tea from the jade cup would cause people to feel at ease, it was truly worthy of being a good tea!
After taking a sip, the tea room had a hint of sweetness and the taste was slightly bitter. However, after a while, the fragrance of the tea slowly seeped into his throat and even cleared his mind, allowing Fu Huaiyu's eyes to flash with a hint of praise.
Although he was relaxed, Prime Minister Liu still felt uneasy. However, he couldn't urge him either, and could only patiently wait for the next part.
"I never thought that there would be such a good tea in Prime Minister Liu's manor. If Prime Minister doesn't mind, it seems like I need to get more tea to drink." Her slender fingers slid across the cup. Although she was talking about tea, her smiling eyes were looking at Prime Minister Liu.
"You flatter me. If Ninth Prince doesn't mind, then I will order some people to prepare some food for you later …" Prime Minister Liu forced out a smile as the tea in his cup trembled.
"In that case, This King can't refuse." His gaze unwittingly fell on Prime Minister Liu's body, "Speaking of which, Honorable Liu's daughter, Honorable Liu Liu Chu Rong …"
The words that came out of his mouth caused Prime Minister Liu to be slightly stunned.
"Ninth Prince mentioned my daughter. I don't know …" Prime Minister Liu was a little unable to guess. The Ninth Prince in front of him asked his daughter what was the meaning of this question, so he could only answer carefully.
"But it's not anything else. It's just that, I wonder, is Prime Minister Liu willing to let your daughter recover her position as the imperial concubine?" Ninth Prince played with the teacup in his hand, and said slowly. However, the serious situation quickly turned into a calculation. This old fox was quite useful.
"This …" Hearing his sudden words, Prime Minister Liu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, if that was the case, then it was clear that he was trying to win her over, but it was just that this matter was not that simple, and he could not easily make a decision now.
"This matter …" After thinking about it for a while, she would look up at Ninth Prince Fu Huaiyu from time to time, but did not know how to reply, so she just stammered.
"On the other hand, this king is being rude. It's getting late, and I won't disturb you too much. As for this matter, the prime minister can slowly consider it. When I have an answer, I can come to the prince's mansion to find me." Regarding Prime Minister Liu's worries, Fu Huaiyu could guess that some things could not be rushed, so let him think about it carefully.
"Oh, right. I have thanked the Prime Minister for his tea." Just as Prime Minister Liu heaved a sigh of relief, he suddenly turned around.
"Take care, Ninth Prince." Prime Minister Liu wiped his cold sweat and hurriedly gestured for him to do so.
Watching Fu Huaiyu's leaving figure, Prime Minister Liu sank into deep thought for a moment.
Facing his recruitment and the sincerity he threw out now, it could be said to be extremely attractive. However, this decision couldn't be made casually, especially for someone like him who held a high position. If he wasn't careful, he might never be able to rise again!
After Fu Huaiyu left the Prime Minister's Residence, there was not the slightest bit of anxiety in the depths of his eyes.
"Giddy up!" The soft and gentle sound of the horses' hooves added a bit of noise to the silence of the street.
"Has Ninth Prince left?" Prime Minister Liu asked the servant.
The servant quickly bowed, "Master, I just left."
Prime Minister Liu waved his hand, ordering the servant to leave.
Today's matter was only known by the heavens and the earth. No one else knew about it. They could only sigh as they looked at the slightly steaming cup of tea.
He went back to his chair in the study, but he had no desire to take care of these matters.
After returning to his own residence, Fu Huaiyu's mood was extremely good. The current situation was more and more similar to what had just happened in the midst of a calamity.
In the chess game, if one was not careful, it would affect the whole body. In the chess game, it was very strange. The imperial court was no longer as stable as it was before. There were blade lights and sword shadows everywhere.
"It's destined to lose its calm." Fu Huaiyu thoughtfully looked into the distance, but when he turned around, he saw that he had once again gone out.
