"Look at me, I was so excited to see the emperor that I forgot to invite him in. Come on, please come inside. The tea is ready." Nangongshan made way and made an invitation gesture.

Nangong Ding was not polite and walked into Prince Qi's mansion.

Looking around the surrounding environment, Nangong Ding said: "I didn't expect Shan'er's palace to be so low-key."

He did not use words such as simple and simple, but specifically emphasized the word "low-key", implying that there was a hidden ambition in Naan Gongshan.

"The royal family of the Wei Kingdom has been unable to make ends meet for many years. It was me who told my father to deduct my expenses. Naturally, I can't compare to Prince Zhao's Mansion and Gaomen Courtyard." Nangongshan counterattacked.

The corner of Nangong Ding's mouth twitched slightly, aren't you saying that my uncle is old and disrespectful?

Since you have taken the initiative to apply for deduction of expenses, then I, Prince Zhao's Mansion, am still a Gaomen Courtyard. You have made it clear that I am not.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, Nangong Ding's face was full of anger, and he turned his head to look at Nangong Shan.

And Nangongshan did not dodge at all, meeting his hostile gaze.

The two were at war with each other.

"Your Majesty." Upon seeing this, Xiao Wuji quickly stood up to break the awkward situation.

"The King of Qi has prepared tea. Why don't we go into the hall to drink tea first and then talk."

Putting away his anger, Nangong Ding smiled slightly and said, "That's fine."

Nangongshan also took advantage of the situation and said: "Uncle Huang, please come this way."

Entering the hall, the guests and hosts were seated. Xiao Wuji stood behind Nangong Shan, while Li Feibai and Lin Tianchong stood beside Nangong Shan.

"This is Jun Tianmei specially cooked for the emperor's uncle. The emperor might as well try it." Nangongshan pointed to the brewed tea on the table.

Picking up the tea cup, Nangong Ding took a sip.

"Well, good tea! The tea has a rich aroma, a sweet aftertaste, and a long-lasting fragrance. It's top-quality, top-quality tea!" Nangong Ding praised it from the bottom of his heart this time.

"I didn't expect that the emperor's uncle also had a lot of research on tea ceremony."

"Someone told me before that wine can strengthen courage, but tea can cultivate the mind. Life is like tea, it's just a matter of picking it up and putting it down." Nangong Ding's eyes were a little melancholy, as if he was stuck in a memory.

Li Feibai's heart moved, this was exactly what he said to Nangong Ding.

Nangong originally ordered a drink, but Li Feibai told him: If you want to be an outstanding spy, you must stop drinking. Drinking can cause trouble, and speaking the truth while drunk can kill you at any time.

From then on, Nangong Ding gave up drinking and started drinking tea.

"The person who can say such philosophical words must be an expert." Nangongshan agreed.

"Yes, he is an absolute master. What a pity." Nangong Ding sighed, looking regretful.

Perhaps in his heart, he didn't want to be an enemy of Li Feibai at all, but he had no choice but to do so. He was an important member of the Wei Kingdom royal family, and Nangong definitely had no choice.

"What a pity? What does the emperor mean by this?"

After coming back to his senses, Nangong Ding said: "It's okay not to talk about the disappointing things. I heard that Shan'er was ill, so I ordered people to find a thousand-year-old ginseng and brought it to you to nurse yourself back to health."

After saying that, Xiao Wuji stepped forward and handed the narrow brocade box in his hand to the servants of Prince Qi's Mansion.

"Uncle Huang is concerned. My nephew's body has gradually recovered under Mr. Bai's care." Nangongshan replied with a smile.

Naturally, he would not tell Nangong Ding the truth that the disease could not be completely cured.

"Oh? Mr. Bai? Which god is it that can cure your strange disease?" Nangong Ding pretended not to know anything.

The strange disease in Nangong Mountain was well known to the royal family. The imperial doctors and Fang Shengshou in the palace were helpless, but they were cured by a country boy named "Bai Feili".

"Fei Li, came out to see King Zhao." Nangong Shan said to Li Feibai behind him.

Li Feibai stood up, bowed and clasped his fists, staring at Nangong Ding and said: "I'm wasting my courtesy, I have met King Zhao!"

For some reason, when Nangong Ding saw this look, his heart trembled, and he almost lost his grip on the teacup in his hand.

What's going on? It's broad daylight, and I'm actually breaking into a cold sweat. Nangong Ding thought to himself.

He looked at the completely unfamiliar face in front of him, which seemed familiar, but he couldn't grasp the feeling.

"Sir, you have superb medical skills. I would like to thank you for curing my nephew." Nangong Ding said coldly.

"It's just a little trick, it's just luck. The King of Qi is so blessed that he deserves to be destined to die." Li Feibai replied.

After staring at Li Feibai's face for a long time, Nangong Ding couldn't think of where he had seen him before, so he simply asked: "Mr. Bai, have we met before? I always feel that you and I seem to have known each other before."

His heart skipped a beat, and Li Feibai thought to himself: As expected of me, he has such a keen intuition.

"The prince is a dragon among men, and the villain is just a country boy. How could I have been lucky enough to meet him before?" he could only reply.

"Fei Li's ancestral home is Shennong Village, Longfeng County, Baijiang City. He grew up there since he was a child. How could he have met the emperor's uncle?" Nangongshan also replied casually.

He felt that Nangong Ding's actions were a deliberate attempt to draw closer to Bai Feili.

"Perhaps I'm too worried." Nangong Ding put away his doubts.

Li Feibai bowed and returned to Nangongshan.

"By the way, in addition to visiting your body this time, I have one more thing to tell you." Nangong Ding said.

"Uncle, please speak!"

"The 'White Tiger' rebelled, and the people of our country were panicked. The prince was assassinated again. Everyone in the DPRK and the Central Government was in danger. They were afraid that they would be killed by the 'White Tiger' when they woke up. So I want to hold a meeting on the fifth day of next month.

There is a tea party, and the six ministers and nine ministers of the imperial court are invited to come and talk about it. Firstly, it will stabilize people's hearts, and secondly, it will also improve morale. At that time, Shan'er, you must attend."

"Have you ever reported it to your father?" Nangongshan asked.

"Of course, such a major event must have the approval of the Emperor, and the Emperor will strongly support it."

If he secretly met with the six ministers and nine ministers of the imperial court, it would be tantamount to treason, and Nangong would not be so stupid.

Strong support? Was your father frightened by the "White Tiger"? Nangong Ding's move was obviously to win over people's hearts, and it was blatant.

Not to mention the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers, even if half of the people support Nangong Ding, your throne is no longer guaranteed.

Although he thought so, Nangongshan still said: "Since my father has already supported it, I will trouble my uncle. But... why do you want me to attend?"

"The prince is dead. My most accomplished prince is you, Shan'er. This is what my brother meant." Although Nangong Ding said it calmly, he seemed unwilling to do so.

Why?

They all have the surname Nangong. In this country of Wei, if you, Nangong Qing, can sit there, I, Nangong Ding, can’t?

Just because you are the eldest son and I was born a few years later?

In terms of ability, strategy, and means, how can you compare to me?

If you ignore my contribution to the royal family of Weiguo and easily pass the throne to your son, then don't blame me.

These words have been hidden in Nangong Ding's heart for a long time and have never been revealed to outsiders.

When Nangong Jiang was established as the prince, Nangong Ding did not have such ambitions, but as his achievements became higher and higher, his unwillingness became more and more intense.
