In a restaurant outside, a chess game was placed on the table.
Fu Huaiyu raised his deep peach blossom eyes slightly with a hint of playfulness. In front of him was a chess endgame. He held his chin with interest. Now the chess game was complete, but he didn't know whether he could arouse interest in the person playing chess with him.
There are many things to do in the court now, and coupled with the issues at the border, people are very busy for a while.
Ministers in high positions and with great power must respond carefully as the situation changes. If they are not careful, they may very likely bring disaster upon themselves!
At this moment in the quiet and elegant study, Prime Minister Liu frowned. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Now that he has reached the position of prime minister, it is certainly not easily obtained. Being at the center of power, it is even more difficult to give up this feeling. Looking at the letter in his hand, it makes people feel a little headache.
Fu Huaiyu picked up a black chess piece and put it down.
In the chess game, there was a murderous atmosphere and it seemed that the army was about to be broken. Suddenly, the white piece fell and the situation was reversed. The black and white pieces formed a chess game with mutual restraint. Fu Huaiyu raised a wicked smile. Now, it's time.
"Come here, prepare the horses!" The servant then received the order and quickly went to prepare.
Putting down the black piece in your hand, there is no rush for this unfinished game. If it ends now, it will be so boring. It will take some time to finish it.
"Whoa..." The neighing of the horse raised a cloud of dust. Fu Yuheng jumped down and looked at the huge Prime Minister's Mansion. There was a slight flash of interest in his peach blossom eyes.
"Report, sir, the Ninth Prince is here to discuss something important with you. He is now in the hall." Just as the Prime Minister was dealing with something, the servant at the door came to report. Prime Minister Liu hurriedly put down the brush in his hand, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Quick, please invite the Ninth Prince!" Prime Minister Liu stood up hurriedly. He was still a little wary of Fu Huaiyu. This man was not an ordinary person. Now, he came to find him. It seemed that it was not a simple matter!
"Hahaha, Prime Minister Liu's study is quite unique." Fu Huaiyu's mouth was filled with smiles, and even his peach blossom eyes were smiling. However, in Prime Minister Liu's eyes, this was not so relaxing.
"Your Majesty, Ninth Prince, are so kind." Then he asked the servants to serve tea and invited him to take a seat.
"By the way, Prime Minister Liu, how are you?"
This light greeting made Prime Minister Liu beside him tremble slightly, "Haha, thank you for your concern, His Majesty the Ninth Prince. I wonder why you came here today?" He suppressed the fear in his heart and put on a smile, but his heart was not as relaxed as he looked on the surface.
"Oh, it's good tea!" Facing his question, Fu Huaiyu did not answer in a hurry, but picked up the jade cup by himself. The faint tea fragrance wafting over made people feel calm and at ease. It was indeed a good tea!
After taking a sip, he found the tea to be mellow and slightly bitter at the beginning, but the fragrance of the tea slowly seeped into his throat during the lingering taste, and even his mind became a little clearer. A hint of admiration flashed in Fu Huaiyu's peach blossom eyes.
His leisurely manner made Prime Minister Liu feel uneasy, but he couldn't rush him, so he could only be patient and wait for the next words.
"I didn't expect that Prime Minister Liu's mansion would have such good tea. If the Prime Minister doesn't mind, I would like to ask for another cup of tea." The slender fingertips slid across the rim of the cup. Although he was talking about tea, his smiling eyes were indeed looking at Prime Minister Liu.
“No, no, if His Majesty the Ninth Prince does not mind, I will have someone prepare some…” Prime Minister Liu forced a smile, and the tea in the cup was shaking slightly.
"In that case, it would be difficult for me to refuse." His eyes seemed to fall on Prime Minister Liu inadvertently, "Speaking of which, Prime Minister Liu's daughter, Lady Liu Churong..."
Just saying it made Prime Minister Liu slightly stunned.
"The Ninth Prince mentioned my daughter, I wonder..." Prime Minister Liu asked tentatively. He was a little confused as to what the Ninth Prince meant when he asked about his daughter. He could only answer cautiously.
"But it's nothing else. I just don't know if Prime Minister Liu is willing to let Miss Ling return to her original position as a concubine?" The Ninth Prince said slowly, playing with the teacup in his hand. Yan Yan quickly flashed a few calculations. This old fox is still useful.
"This..." Hearing him say this suddenly, Prime Minister Liu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. If this is the case, it is obvious that he is trying to win him over, but this matter is not that simple, and he can't make a decision easily now.
"This matter..." After a moment of contemplation, he looked up at the Ninth Prince Fu Huaiyu from time to time. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer and hesitated.
"I am being abrupt, and it's getting late, so I won't bother you any more. As for this matter, you can take your time to think about it. When you have a reply, you can come to the prince's mansion to find me." Fu Huaiyu could guess what Prime Minister Liu was worried about. Some things cannot be rushed, so he let him think about it carefully.
"Oh, by the way, I would like to thank the Prime Minister for the tea." Just when Prime Minister Liu breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly turned around.
"Goodbye, Ninth Prince." Prime Minister Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly made a gesture of invitation.
Looking at Fu Huaiyu's departing back, Prime Minister Liu fell into deep thought for a moment.
Now facing his recruitment and the sincerity he has shown, it can be said to be extremely attractive. However, this decision cannot be made lightly, especially for a person like him who is in a high position and has great power. If he is not careful, he may never be able to turn over!
After Fu Huaiyu left the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was no trace of anxiety in his eyes. He opened his jade fan gently, "Prime Minister's Mansion!"
"Gee!" A light voice and the sound of horse hooves added a bit of noise to the quiet street.
"Has the Ninth Prince left?" Prime Minister Liu asked the servant.
The servant quickly bowed and said, "My lord, I just left."
Prime Minister Liu waved his hand and asked the servant to go down.
Only heaven and earth know what happened today, no one else has any way of knowing. He just looked at the steaming tea and couldn't help but sigh.
I returned to the chair in the study again, but I no longer had the mind to deal with these matters.
After returning to his mansion, Fu Huaiyu was in a very good mood. The current situation was becoming more and more similar to the endgame.
In the game of chess, if you are not careful, one move can affect the entire body. The game of chess is strange and indistinguishable. Today's court is no longer as stable as it was before, and there are swords and sabers everywhere.
"It's destined to be uneasy." Fu Huaiyu looked into the distance thoughtfully, but when he turned around, he went out again.
