After seeing off the old Taoist Yu Ji, Yuan Shu sent Liu Mu back to the princess's mansion, and then returned to the mansion to have a beautiful sleep.

Yuan Shu was in a very good mood that night and slept very well.

But his son Yuan Xing didn't sleep that well.

Yuan Xing was really sad tonight.

Finally, I asked my little sister Cao Jinyu to go shopping and was about to invite her to go to Zuixianlou for dinner to enhance her relationship, but I met my dad on the street.

Yuan Xing hurried back to the house, and wanted to discuss with his mother Cai Wenji and let Cai Wenji scent the wind beside his father.

Unexpectedly, my mother who loved her the most returned to her parents' home at this time!

This made Yuan Xing cry without tears, so he could only secretly pray that he had read it wrong, and his father Yuan Shu did not discover him.

Yuan Xing tossed and turned in the bed and couldn't sleep.

In a state of distraction, he got up and meditated. Unfortunately, he couldn't calm down even meditate. He kept going until dawn before falling asleep.

The next morning, Yuan Xing slept soundly, and suddenly a personal manager came in to report:

"Your Highness!

The king summons you, get up quickly, Your Highness!"

Yuan Xing rubbed his eyes and asked the manager sleepily:

"Liu Quan, what's the matter?"

The manager, who was called Liu Quan by Yuan Xing, said anxiously:

"Zhang Cheng, the butler of the royal palace, has just come to His Highness's courtyard!

He said that the king summoned the prince and could only arrive at the prince's study within a quarter of an hour, and there must be no mistakes!"

"What?

Is Zhang Cheng coming?"

Yuan Xing turned over and sat up from the bed, his eyes wide open, and his sleepiness was gone.

This Zhang Cheng is no better than others, and is one of the most trusted butlers of his father.

Yuan An and Zhang Cheng, as the steward of the Chu Prince's Mansion, had a noble status and no need for them to call for casual things.

Now that Zhang Cheng has come in person, it proves that his father has something important to discuss with him.

"It's over. It seems that my father saw it yesterday!

I knew it wasn't so easy to get away with..."

When Liu Quan saw Yuan Xing's expression was panicked, he was suspicious.

His Highness is always like Jizhu holding her every day. What's wrong with this today?

In less than a quarter of an hour, Yuan Xing came to Yuan Shu's study panting.

It was a while earlier than the time stipulated by Yuan Shu.

Yuan Xing asked Yuan Shu uneasyly:

"Father, are you looking for me?"

"Um."

When Yuan Xing entered the door, Yuan Shu was sitting on the desk reading a book.

It was not until Yuan Xing asked a question that he put the book back on the desk and hummed softly.

After more than twenty years, Yuan Shu finally found the feeling of Yuan Feng scolding him back then.

No wonder when I was young, my father Yuan Feng liked to sit in the study and teach him a lesson.

This feeling is cool!!

Yuan Shu felt secretly happy, but his expression was very serious when facing Yuan Xing.

He said to Yuan Xing in a deep voice:

"How decent you look like you are so dressed?

As the prince of Great Chu, you should pay attention to your demeanor.”

“What the Father taught me is.”

After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Yuan Xing quickly buttoned the two buttons on his chest.

Due to the tight time, Yuan Xing hurried to the study before he had time to organize his clothes.

Yuan Shu didn't want to make things difficult for his son, but he just saw that he looked panicked and remembered the scene where his father Yuan Feng taught him, so he gave him a few casual words.

Seeing that his son was so well-behaved, Yuan Shu couldn't bear to say more.

He went straight to the topic:

"Xing'er, the little girl I went shopping with you yesterday is Cao Jinyu from Cao Mengde's family, right?"

"ah?

The father knows it..."

"You don't have to be afraid, it's not for your father to teach you a lesson.

Sit down and drink some tea and say slowly.”

The father did not scold himself, which made Yuan Xing feel relieved.

He sat on the chair across the table with some restraint, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Tea is a good tea, but today Yuan Xing was not interested in drinking it. He was thinking about how to explain Cao Jinyu's affairs.

Yuan Shu said to Yuan Xing in a calm tone:

"Men get married when they are old, and women get married when they are old.

The little girl Cao Jinyu also saw it yesterday as a father. She is indeed a good child.

Cao Mengde and our Yuan family are also a match. You two are willing to get along with each other, but they are not opposed to being a father.

But I am very curious about my father.

How did you two little guys meet?"

"Father, this..."

"What, isn't it convenient to say?"

“No, no…”

Yuan Xing gritted his teeth and confessed to Yuan Shu:

"The son minister had the opportunity to know Cao Jinyu because the son minister's close friend Zhong Hui."

Yuan Shu was stunned when he heard this. Yuan Xing and Cao Jinyu met, what did it have to do with Zhong Hui?

Could it be that Zhong Hui helped the two meet?

Yuan Xing explained to Yuan Shu:

"My friend has been smart since childhood, especially for his power and intrigue.

Since our great Chu rebuilt Luoyang, countless aristocratic families in the world have flocked to Luoyang City.

Among them are the top families in the Han, Wei, Yan and other countries.

Zhong Hui met with many talents in these aristocratic families, so he attracted many people to form a loose small group and often gathered and feasted together.

I hope one day I can use the connections of these aristocratic families."

Yuan Shu nodded, it seemed like something Zhong Hui could do.

Yuan Xing continued:

"My son was afraid that Zhong Hui would form a clique for personal gain, so he followed him to several parties and wanted to take the opportunity to ring Zhong Hui.

As a result, there was nothing special about this party, just everyone had dinner and chatted together.

My son didn't ask too much."

"So did you and Cao Jinyu meet at this party?"

Yuan Xing nodded and said:

"Not only Cao Jinyu, but also her brother Cao Pi also attended the party."

Yuan Shu asked Yuan Xing with interest:

"You are my king's son. When you arrive at this party, can these little guys still eat well?"

Yuan Xing smiled awkwardly:

"The son minister did not attend the party as a prince, but went there as a branch of the Yuan family.

Not noticeable at the party.”
