My father, on horseback, is the empire's dragon commander; off horseback, he is the current prime minister. People call me the Young Prime Minister.
My father and I both feared being slau...
Zhao Cheng thought the wine immortal's reminder made perfect sense.
Whether Master Tu continues to covet the Immortal Wine or tries to take advantage of Chen Feier, something just doesn't seem right!
He took Zhao Wu to the place where Lao Pu had arranged for Chen Feier to meet Master Tu, wanting to see Master Tu in person.
The location was a usually bustling tavern. Zhao Cheng wandered around for a while and saw Chen Feier and a tall, thin man come out before walking towards them.
The man standing next to Chen Feier was a full two heads taller than her!
Having heard the wine connoisseur describe Master Tu's appearance, Zhao Cheng knew that this was Master Tu. A vulgar thought popped into his mind: "You're so tall, why are you painting? Why don't you go play basketball?"
"Hi, isn't this Miss Fei'er?"
Zhao Cheng stopped in front of Chen Feier and waved with a smile.
Chen Feier was stunned for a moment, but quickly got into character and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Young Prime Minister!"
"What a coincidence!" Zhao Cheng, in a brash manner, deliberately leaned closer to examine Chen Feier's face and said with a smile, "To run into someone in such a big city like Yanchuan, Miss Feier and I are quite destined to meet!"
Chen Feier looked startled and took a step back.
When Chen Feier called out "Young Prime Minister," Master Tu's expression tightened. He stepped forward, shielding Chen Feier behind him, and smiled, "Young Prime Minister? Could it be the Imperial Son-in-Law Zhao Cheng?"
Zhao Cheng asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"
Chen Feier said, "Young Prime Minister, this is Master Tu."
"Master Tu? What kind of business do you run?"
Master Tu's face darkened.
Chen Feier then said, "Master Tu, a national master of the Great Jing!"
Zhao Cheng pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said, "Could it be the great painter who painted my wife?"
Master Tu said, "That's called a princess painting."
"I know, isn't the princess my wife?"
Master Tu was speechless, feeling a kind of awkward tension.
Zhao Cheng then cupped his hands to Master Tu and said heartily, "Master Tu is indeed so skilled! It is truly an honor to meet such a master today!"
Master Tu returned the greeting, saying, "It's a pleasure to meet you."
“Oh right, I heard from Lao Jiu that Master Tu is also interested in Immortal Wine?” Zhao Cheng smiled slightly at Master Tu.
"The Wine Immortal is a great talent, having brewed such a fine wine. Naturally, I want to help him expand his sales channels so that more people in the world can taste it."
"Isn't it all about making more money?"
Master Tu's face darkened again, and he said sternly, "Silver and such are not important!"
“I believe Master Tu already knows that I have taken over the business of Immortal Wine.” Zhao Cheng leaned closer to Master Tu, needing to stand on tiptoe to get close to his ear, and whispered, “Thank you, Master Tu, for helping us promote Immortal Wine. Even if you don’t love money, you will still have money to show your respect in the future.”
"Ahem!" Master Tu quickly feigned a cough and laughed, "Young Prime Minister, you're quite humorous!"
Zhao Cheng said, "I can't hold my liquor, otherwise I would definitely have invited Master Tu to drink a few jugs. Please excuse me for today."
"Young Prime Minister, you're too kind. I also have appointments with friends."
“Master Tu, please make yourself at home. It’s rare for me to meet Miss Fei’er, and I would like to have a chat with her.”
Master Tu frowned and looked at Chen Feier.
Chen Feier smiled and said, "Master Tu, I had a very pleasant chat with you today. Let's take our leave now."
Master Tu winked at Chen Feier, thinking to himself, "If you don't want to go, I can block it for you. Don't you understand what I mean?"
Chen Feier smiled and said, "Young Prime Minister is upright and honest, Master Tu, please rest assured."
Master Tu was stunned.
Upright and honest?
Isn't that how people outside perceive Zhao Cheng?
Even the current emperor says he is a lustful devil!
And look at him now, he's only been married to the princess for a short time and he's already out flirting with other women. Is that being upright and honest?
However, the two were not familiar with each other, and since Chen Feier had already said so, Master Tu could not stop her, otherwise it would only make Zhao Cheng dislike her.
He nodded to Chen Feier and said, "Let's meet again tomorrow."
With that, he strode away.
On the way back to the bookstore, Zhao Cheng said to Chen Feier, "This person has impure thoughts. You should be careful when you get along with him."
“I think he’s pretty good.” Chen Feier glanced at Zhao Cheng and said, “But just now, you were the one targeting him at every turn.”
"Do I have one? Zhao Wu, do I have one?"
Zhao Wu said, "A little."
Chen Feier said, "You don't need to worry, it's just an artistic exchange between us."
"I'm worried you'll be scammed! These self-proclaimed 'masters' who seek fame and fortune are the most wicked of all!"
"Stop slandering him. I benefited greatly from talking with him over a meal today. He is truly talented in painting."
"You definitely have real talent and skill, otherwise how could you draw a princess picture? I'm just reminding you!"
Upon hearing the word 'princess,' Chen Feier's face darkened.
Zhao Cheng keenly noticed Chen Feier's change, suddenly grabbed her hand, and said, "Feier, I know about Yuan Yun's visit to the bookstore. This matter... has been difficult for you."
Chen Feier shook her head and said, "The princess and I have already reached an agreement. Actually, she was overthinking it. I didn't think that much about it in the first place."
"Feel sorry……"
"Since you feel apologetic, then promise me you won't meddle in my affairs with Master Tu. I can get help from Master Tu to improve my painting skills. Don't worry about the rest, I know what I'm doing."
"So you just used Master Tu as a tool?"
Chen Feier paused for a moment, seemingly pondering the meaning of Zhao Cheng's words, and nodded after a long while.
Zhao Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Alright, be more careful."
