He smiled faintly and said jokingly: "The son of Qinghe County Governor actually works as a guard and horse servant in Prince Jin's Mansion. It's really eye-opening for me."

"What?" Feng Zhifei was stunned and hurriedly explained, "I am not a servant, but a guest of the palace. I am just waiting here!"

He was worried that Ye Qingchen didn't believe it, so he raised his eyes and said proudly: "Boy, the person I was waiting for is here!"

Ye Qingchen turned around and saw a young man in his mid-twenties running towards him on horseback.

He was wearing a purple-red robe, embroidered with gold patterns, a golden crown on his head, and a jade belt around his waist. He had a cold and majestic look on his face, and he looked like he was from a noble family.

The man came up and reined in his horse. Feng Zhifei hurried forward to help him hold it, and said with a flattering smile: "Cousin, you are finally here!"

The man jumped off the horse, dusted himself off, looked up at Ye Qingchen, and asked lightly: "Who is he?"

Feng Zhifei sneered and said: "A short-sighted and unscrupulous man dared to tease me in the market today. If Zhu Xiaotian hadn't suddenly patrolled over, I would have killed him on the spot."

The purple-robed young master said: "You should keep a low profile these days and avoid trouble. Don't cause any trouble to my father."

Feng Zhifei quickly responded: "Yes, yes."

After that, he raised his eyebrows at Ye Qingchen and scolded: "You are so bold and unruly. This Young Master Xie Yilin is the son of Governor Jiajin. Why don't you come over and kneel down when you see him?"

Governor Jiajin is the highest official who governs Jiazhou and Jinzhou and is in charge of the administration, economy and military of the two states. He belongs to a large official in a feudal territory and holds a high position of authority.

Unexpectedly, Feng Zhifei actually called Xie Yilin his cousin. It seemed that Feng Shiyuan and the governor were real relatives. No wonder Feng Shiyuan acted so boldly. It turned out that he had this protective umbrella from above.

Xie Yilin smiled faintly: "You, what should I say to you? You are not making any progress at all. You are a common man. Why bother with him?"

Feng Zhifei nodded and bowed with a smile: "Yes, yes, I will learn more from my cousin in the future!"

"Pattern and mind, do you understand?" Xie Yilin pointed out.

"I understand, I will pay more attention in the future. Then let's go into the house as soon as possible without being like him!"

After Feng Zhifei finished speaking, he led the horse towards the door and said to the guard guarding the door: "This is Mr. Xie Yilin, the son of Governor Jiajin, and here is Feng Zhifei, the son of Qinghe County Governor, who are here to pay homage to Prince Jin. Please inform me!" "

One of the guards nodded: "Young masters, please wait a moment!"

Then he trotted into the house.

Ye Qingchen smiled slightly and said to himself: Pattern, mind? I would like to learn from Mr. Xie whether he has these two things.

He stepped forward and was about to speak to another guard when Feng Zhifei frowned and said, "Why are you following me?"

"I'm also here to pay homage to the prince!" Ye Qingchen said calmly.

Xie Yilin looked at him carefully and said: "In the Jiajin and Jin states, I have heard about all the families with some status, but this young master is very handsome! I wonder which noble family he is?"

Ye Qingchen said with a smile: "I am just a country man, not the son of a nobleman."

Feng Zhifei laughed and said: "Didn't I just say that he is just a cunning person? If a person of some status is either riding a horse or riding a sedan, what status can he have if he comes here on foot?"

Xie Yilin also smiled contemptuously: "Then I have to advise this young master, the prince is not someone who can just meet him. Even for a person like me, he sent someone to make an appointment three days in advance.

Today, the prince is waiting for me at the mansion as promised. Although I don’t know why you want to see him, you must not be able to see him today. Please come back! "

Ye Qingchen sneered: "If I want to see the prince, there is no need to make an appointment. Since he is in the house, I must meet him!"

Xie Yilin and Feng Zhifei looked at each other and laughed.

Ye Qingchen was too lazy to talk to them and was about to walk into the palace when he heard someone shouting on the Great Dao outside the palace: "Mr. Ye!"

Turning around, he saw a carriage speeding towards him and stopping at the gate of the palace. The third young master, Xiao Heng, opened the curtain of the sedan chair and jumped out of the carriage.

"Mr. Ye, yesterday I heard from my servants that I saw you in the market. I thought you were tired from the journey, so I didn't bother you. Today, my father specially sent me to pick you up, but I didn't expect that Mr. coming!"

Ye Qingchen said with a smile: "Your Majesty is very interested, thank you for your hard work, Third Young Master!"

Xiao Heng said: "If Mr. Ye is there, please come into the house with me."

Xie Yilin and Feng Zhifei looked at each other in embarrassment.

I never expected that this inconspicuous young man, who claimed to be a country man, would be sent by the prince to pick him up in person, which shows his high status.

At this time, Xiao Heng was obviously only focused on receiving Mr. Ye, but he didn't even look at them.

Even though he was ignored, he had no choice but to go to see the gift: "Xie Yilin (Feng Zhifei) has met the third young master!"

Only then did Xiao Heng see the two of them and said sheepishly: "So Mr. Xie is here too, why didn't you go in?"

Xie Yilin said: "Uh...we are waiting for the report."

Xiao Heng chuckled and scolded the guards with a straight face: "What do you look like? Don't you even recognize Mr. Ye and Mr. Xie? Let them wait at the door!"

The guard apologized quickly, ran forward, took the horse's rein from Feng Zhifei's hand, and led the horse in from the side door of the palace.

Xiao Heng brought the three of them into the mansion and prepared to take them to King Jin's study.

On the way, Ye Qingchen secretly thought that King Jin was just an idle king in name only, and even the eunuchs did not dare to offend him.

Xie Yilin's father had a high and powerful position, so King Jin would naturally treat this young master with great courtesy. If I go with them, King Jin may be in an embarrassing situation. I won’t join in the fun. Anyway, the real purpose of my coming here is not to see him.

He said to Xiao Heng: "Third Young Master, I want to take a walk in the garden and meet with the prince later."

Xiao Heng said: "Mr. Ye, please!"

Xie Yilin walked a few steps and smiled at Feng Zhifei: "He is indeed an ignorant person. When you come to the palace, you should naturally go to see the prince first. This is etiquette!"

Feng Zhifei said: "Yes, he said it himself, he is a country man, haha..."

Xiao Heng walked in front, lowered his head and smiled lightly.

Ye Qingchen came to the garden and sat on a stone bench beside a bamboo forest and waited. He knew that Xiao Heng would definitely come to him.

Sure enough, after a while of burning incense, Xiao Heng trotted over and said sheepishly: "Mr. Ye, you've been waiting for a long time!"

Ye Qingchen shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter! Those two young masters came to visit the prince. What's the matter?"

Xiao Heng looked sad and sighed softly, as if there was something hidden in it.

"What's going on?" Ye Qingchen asked.

Xiao Heng said sadly: "Because Feng Zhifei fell in love with my sister and wanted to propose marriage, but he was afraid that he was not worthy enough, so he called Mr. Xie here too."

"What?" Ye Qingchen frowned and exclaimed, "He is a little son of a county guard. Isn't this a toad that wants to eat swan meat?"
