Chapter 330 Chapter 330 Fuck Him

"Is the Second Princess going to greet General Qin?"

The others began to murmur quietly.

"I don't think so. The Second Princess must have gone for Prince Xiao. Don't you know the unspoken secrets between the Second Princess and Prince Xiao?"

"What are these things?"

"It's about how the Second Princess was so fascinated by our Prince Xiao that she almost disregarded the friendship between our two countries and took our Prince Xiao back to Dongwu to be his consort!"

"Oh my god, is the Second Princess so powerful?"

"That's right. Some women in Dongwu are just that fierce. If they take a fancy to someone, they'll take advantage of them. If Prince Xiao wasn't the face of our Great Yan and the king of the opposite sex, he would have been snatched away to be his concubine long ago."

"You don't know, back then the Second Princess even said that if Prince Xiao didn't marry her, she would ask him every time she came."

"What do you want to ask?"

"Of course, I'm asking Prince Xiao if he's changed his mind and is willing to follow her back to Dongwu to become her husband!"

Just when everyone was ready to watch the show, Demonno didn't even look at Xiao Heng and stood directly in front of Xu Yunfan.

When Xu Yunfan looked up, Demonno immediately smiled, "Master Xu, nice to meet you again."

What's going on?

Does the second princess know their Lord Xu?

No, when did they meet? They clearly knew Master Xu's daily schedule.

Could this be some new way of picking up girls that they don't know about?

Or is it that the Second Princess has lost interest in the "old and faded" Prince Xiao, and has shifted her target to the young and youthful Lord Xu?

"Hello, Second Princess." Xu Yunfan wasn't very good at handling sudden greetings from strangers. He turned his attention to Demonzali and said, "Master Zali, long time no see. Why haven't you asked Run'er out to play lately?"

Zali, who was following Demonno, pouted and said, "Don't ask me even though you already know the answer. Are you still my brother? You won't help me."

"That's not what I meant. I'm doing this for your own good."

"You're lying! I sent someone to look for you, but you never showed up. I was locked up for days, and I was so bored I almost grew mushrooms."

"How did you cheat? You were at the Ye Mansion, and they invited you to be their guest, with free food, free drinks, and free accommodation. Calculate for yourself, how much money did they save you?"

"Does this young master need that little bit of money?"

"Yes, there is a shortage, but I don't know who is in the Ye Mansion playing with Master Ye all day long. He is so happy that he doesn't want to leave. How can he be bored? Master Zhali only sees the newcomers laughing and not the old ones crying. How can he still remember someone like me?"

Zha Li was speechless, puffing up his cheeks, "Run'er, you don't even care about your husband. What's the point of bullying me, newcomer or old man? I don't know what you mean, do you?"

Qin Run smiled and gently tugged at Xu Yunfan's clothes. "Well, Master Zhali is a distinguished guest from afar today. You have to give him some face."

"Okay." Xu Yunfan smiled dotingly at Qin Run, "You are my husband. Here, I can disobey anyone, but I cannot disobey you."

Qin Run's heart was full of love, and when no one else could see, he reached out and quietly hooked Xu Yunfan's little finger, smiling like a flower.

"Lord Xu is quite the pamperer. This is General Qin's grandson, General Qin's son, and the owner of the Food City, Young Master Qin Run. Seeing is believing. I never thought Young Master Qin would be such a gifted person. Look at everyone here today, each one is stunningly beautiful. No wonder Zhali keeps telling me that Dayan is home to so many handsome men and beautiful women."

Demonno knew that what was worrying was not the lack of wealth but the inequality, even when it came to compliments.

Not only did she praise Qin Run and give him enough face, but a few words also showed her love for Dayan.

After all, everyone knows that the second princess of Dongwu Kingdom is fond of beautiful women.

Everyone liked what Demonno said, except Xiao Heng, who felt very upset.

DeMonno definitely did it on purpose.

There were names like grandson of General Qin, son of General Qin, and even owner of the Food City, but there was no such title as son of King Xiao. It was obvious that they did not take him seriously.

"Go back to your seat now. If you say a few more words, my brother-in-law will be glared at like a hedgehog."

King Xiao was displeased. The closer Demonno was to Xu Yunfan, the more hated Xu Yunfan became.

Demonno glanced meaningfully at the Shang envoy and said, "King Xiao is quite considerate of his brother-in-law."

Xiao Hengzhi almost rolled his eyes, "He is my brother-in-law. If I don't care about him, who else can I care about?"

When King Xiao came forward, the other ministers watched silently and did not step forward to interrupt.

Xu Yunfan was indeed not a simple person, just as they thought.

I heard that last time Xu Yunfan and Mr. Qi from the Ministry of Works went out of the capital to do some business, they were "troubled" by the villagers. Mr. Qi and his men asked the villagers in a gentle tone what they were dissatisfied with, but Xu Yunfan suppressed them with thundering means. In short, the court has ordered officials to do things, and you have to listen whether you want to or not.

Later, Xu Yunfan warned several people that when dealing with people of low level of cognition, they should not be too easygoing. The more respectful they are in their actions and words, the more they will take advantage of them. In their limited cognition, if you speak to them in a nice tone, it means they are either afraid or timid, and they will think you are easy to talk to.

An eighteen-year-old boy is so "experienced" in doing things. Xu Yunfan said earlier that his family is just a poor business family. Who can tell them that the son of a businessman can meet ministers and foreign envoys without any surprise, as if he has experienced it countless times and has already gotten used to it?

The people present were skeptical about Xu Yunfan's identity and speculated that Xu Yunfan's family background was probably not just a merchant family.

Xu Yunfan didn't care what the other ministers guessed. He was very tactful in his actions towards Demonno, and no one could find any fault with him. Qin Qian and Xiao Hengzhi didn't even need to say anything. He "cajoled" Demonno and the other Dongwu envoys back with just a few words.

"Yunfan, the third prince seems to be glaring at you." After learning from Xiao Hengzhi that Guo Minglei was not a good person, Qin Run secretly paid attention to this person from time to time, and indeed found that Guo Minglei's eyes were filled with rage when he looked at Xu Yunfan.

Xu Yunfan didn't even look at Guo Minglei, but turned and moved closer to Qin Run. "Let him glare at you, why are you always staring at him? If you want to look at him, just look at me."

Qin Run was amused. "Jealous again? Are you a jealous person?"

"Yes, it is with you." Xu Yunfan was not ashamed. "You should be happy. You are the first person who can make me so jealous."

"It's really my honor." Qin Run smiled brilliantly, and his doting eyes were so soft that they were about to overflow with tenderness, which made Xu Yunfan's eyes almost pop out.

"Yes, you should be very proud of this. My husband should be a proud, confident and outspoken man." Xu Yunfan glanced around and said helplessly, "I really want to kiss you, but it's a pity there are too many people here. I'll owe you this kiss for now. I'll give it to you when we get home tonight, okay?"

Qin Run: “…”

He said it as if he was urging for a kiss.

The two of them were whispering to each other when the eunuch called out loudly, "Prince Xu has arrived."

Fu Qingxu brought Qin Qingfeng in and sat on the left side below the main seat.

Soon, the father-in-law shouted again, and Fu Qingyu came.

Fu Qingyu, dressed in a dragon robe, entered, his aura so overwhelming that everyone stood up, saluted, and shouted, "...Long live the emperor..."

Xu Yunfan followed the crowd reluctantly, and even when they stood up, he didn't even look up, as if he was angry.

Fu Qingyu, who had taken a quick look around, saw this and shuddered, thinking to himself, "Oh no! Xu Yunfan, who is not very kind-hearted, is really angry."

Fu Qingyu wanted to explain, but the occasion was not right. Now, receiving the envoys from the two countries was the top priority.

As soon as Fu Qingyu sat down, the envoys of the two countries spoke immediately. They exchanged greetings without meaning each other, and it sounded like they were getting along very well. But in fact, they both knew that you dislike me and I dislike you.

Xu Yunfan was a minor official of the fifth rank, and he entered the palace today as a family member. Naturally, he had no right to speak out. After all, this was not his home ground. He just wanted to eat and drink his fill and go back after the meeting.

But he just ate and drank quietly, but some people didn't want to do as he wished.

Guo Minglei glanced at Xu Yunfan, hinting, "I heard that this is the famous Xiao Jiyuan of the Great Yan Dynasty? Oh, this prince usually can't remember such things, but after seeing him today, Xu Xueshi looks very beautiful, and his appearance is even more stunning than mine. If all the men in a country are like this, it will be..."

Guo Minglei said nothing after that, but just sighed with regret. It can be seen that the words he said were not pleasant to hear.

Generally, things that are not remembered by people are either unimportant or the protagonists of the events are not memorable enough for them.

The first sentence was "renowned", and the second sentence was "a few yuan", which further proved that no matter how famous Xu Yunfan was in the Great Yan Dynasty, in the eyes of the Third Prince of the Great Shang Dynasty, he was still an insignificant and unremembered little person.

Later he praised Xu Yunfan for his good looks. It sounded like he was praising Xu Yunfan for his good looks, but in fact, he was just humiliating him.

At the banquet, Xu Yunfan sat obediently next to Xiao Hengzhi. Hearing this, he burst out laughing.

This bastard Guo Minglei is actually the third prince of the Shang Dynasty. What a narrow road for enemies to cross.

Yesterday, he got off work quickly, which was rare for him. When he went to the Food City to pick up Qin Run and took him home, he happened to meet several luxurious carriages.

A man in gorgeous clothes got off the carriage. When he saw Qin Run who had just left the Food City, he licked his lips and asked the people around him who Qin Run was.

Xu Yunfan was very cold at the time, and he had lost face in the food city, so he was reluctant to see people. He wore a hat and a scarf that covered half of his face, and huddled on the other side of the carriage.

The other party must not have noticed his presence. When others asked Guo Minglei if he was interested in Qin Run, Guo Minglei said in a particularly obscene way: "Indeed, I am a little tempted. This guy is good-looking and strong. He looks very hardy. It would be nice to bring him back to warm my bed. I couldn't bring my beautiful concubine with me, so I can only change my taste and use local materials."

Xu Yunfan was so angry that he almost smoked when his husband was said to be a reluctant worker. He didn't take action at that time because he didn't want to cause trouble in the Food City and scare Qin Run. Today, he must settle all the new and old grudges together.

Xu Yunfan raised his face and said in a defiant tone, "The Third Prince does look quite powerful, isn't he? Speaking of which, it reminds me of an interesting story. It is said that there was a reckless man who believed himself to be eight feet tall, with well-developed muscles and immense strength. He boasted about how powerful he was, and was eventually caught by someone who forced him to prove his prowess. Coincidentally, a pack of wolves came to the mountain, and everyone urged him to fight the wolves. The man, who thought he was incredibly powerful, went, but he didn't know that wolves, though seemingly beasts, are actually very intelligent beasts. In the end, he was torn into pieces. He didn't even understand the simple truth that "disaster comes from the mouth." So, in fact, people with strong limbs but simple minds can't accomplish anything great."

"Puff..." Xiao Hengzhi, Zuo Xiang and others almost spit out their wine.

This kid Xu Yunfan is really tough!

It's really not a loss at all.

Guo Minglei was furious. "Master Xu, are you making indirect accusations?"

"Really? Third Prince, please don't take it personally. Or is it because you heard this story and gained some insights that made you so furious?" Xu Yunfan was so angry that he wanted to kill himself. When he came, Xiao Hengzhi told him that if someone made him angry, he should just fight back. If he endured it, the other person would not stop talking but would become even more aggressive and think he was easy to bully.

You know, Xu Yunfan was sitting next to Xiao Hengzhi, and Guo Minglei dared to slap him in the face, which was tantamount to provoking Xiao Hengzhi. If he endured it, Guo Minglei would only think that Xiao Hengzhi was a king of the opposite sex, so what if he held tens of thousands of military power, and that he was no more than Xiao's brother-in-law.

Seeing his grandson being humiliated, the Right Prime Minister said unhappily, "Master Xu, you are so presumptuous! Minglei is the Third Prince of the Shang Dynasty, of noble status. As a scholar, how can you..."

"How can you say that? Indescribably expensive? That was in the Great Shang Dynasty, not in our Great Yan Dynasty. Is it possible that the Right Prime Minister is too old to even understand the principle that a visitor is a guest?"

Xu Yunfan's unhappy eyes were filled with fierce oppression. "It's not cattle or sheep. It won't sell for a high price in other places. But it can be sold at a high price here. How can it be expensive? I never knew that a guest who came to visit had the nerve to criticize the host. Such people are either uneducated or stupid. They don't even know the most basic etiquette. He is expensive? Am I not expensive? He is the third prince, and I am an official of the Great Yan Dynasty. What right does he have to criticize me? He has his background, and I am not without backing. I am not very strong, but you try it? If he dares to slap me in the face, he will slap the face of the Great Yan Dynasty. Right Prime Minister, your grandson is so uneducated. Instead of disciplining him, you blame me. You are really turning your elbow outward. Since you think the prince of the Great Shang Dynasty is noble and you want to lick him, why don't you transfer your household registration to the Great Shang?"

Fu Qingyu and his group: "..."

Wow, Xu Yunfan can talk.

If you can speak, talk more.

After confronting the Right Prime Minister, who was so angry that he almost fainted, he clutched his chest, looking like he was about to faint at any moment. Xu Yunfan shifted his focus, "Why are you so angry, Third Prince? Has no one ever dared to say this to you before?"

"Hey, then you have to thank me well, right? There's an old saying, 'It's hard to be a human being without experiencing poverty, and it's impossible to be innocent without experiencing setbacks.' I've taught you a life experience that your elders haven't taught you. Look at you, you're really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not knowing how to appreciate a good heart. It's fine if you don't thank me, but why are you glaring at me? But it's no wonder, the Right Prime Minister does this and you do the same, it's called a continuation of the same lineage. After all, if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked."

After being humiliated, Guo Minglei slammed the table in anger, "How dare you humiliate this prince..."

"Humiliation? Oh, Third Prince, if a dog bites you, you wouldn't bite back, would you? That would only get you a mouthful of fur. I didn't think what you said was just a dog barking. Out of respect, I was being kind and gentle with you. Third Prince, please don't be ungrateful."

The other party keeps calling him "this prince", and Xu Yunfan keeps calling him "this young master". You are the prince, and he is the young prince of the Xu family. Who isn't a treasure in the palm of your hand?

"Emperor Yan, your dynasty's mere fifth-rank civil official really doesn't take our dynasty seriously at all. He even dares to openly provoke our prince. He is truly committing treason and has no sense of purpose." The envoy of the Shang Dynasty said angrily.

Xu Yunfan said calmly, "Alas, sir, this is not true. When three people walk together, one of them must be my teacher. Today, I taught the Third Prince the etiquette of being a human being. I didn't expect him to show any favor to me, but why was I accused of provocation? I don't bear this false accusation. I already respect you enough. Don't look for trouble with yourselves. Don't treat me as a soft persimmon. Before you want to cause trouble for me, you'd better think carefully."

"Master Xu is so arrogant. If that's the case, Master Xu, do you dare to challenge us? Let's see if Master Xu's fist is as hard as your mouth."

Xu Yunfan sat as steady as a mountain, unmoved. "A contest? Don't ask me if I dare. If you want to know how strong my fists are, just see if you can handle it and whether you can withstand a beating."

Asking a man if he is capable is somewhat humiliating, no matter the circumstances or time.

Guo Minglei was furious. "Alright, since Master Xu has agreed, let's not compete in the palace. Let's go out and compete during the New Year. Let the people see the excitement and get a glimpse of Master Xu's elegance."

Humph, a scholar who looks delicate and weak. He can be knocked down with one punch and made to fall to the ground. Let's see if he still has the face to be arrogant in front of him. Today, he will definitely humiliate Xu Yunfan.

The other ministers looked at Xu Yunfan one after another, and Lord Lin and others who had friendship with Xu Yunfan couldn't help but become worried.

It is true that Xu Yunfan had demonstrated some martial arts skills in the Master's Competition, but a backflip into the sky does not mean that his martial arts skills are very good. They were able to do backflips when they were young. It was obvious that Guo Minglei came prepared, so Xu Yunfan might not be his opponent.

Several people wanted to refuse on Xu Yunfan's behalf, but Xu Yunfan said calmly: "You said it, and you can't blame me if you lose face later."

"This prince said so. So, did Master Xu agree?"

"Why don't you agree? The Third Prince is so shameless and wants to lose some face. This is just a small request. As a member of the Qin family, I will naturally do my best to be a good host and fulfill the Third Prince's request."

Guo Minglei's nostrils were thick with anger. "Hmph, sharp-tongued. Later, I hope Lord Xu can still be so sharp-tongued."

Xu Yunfan picked up the plate of pastries on the table and said, "Father-in-law, hold this for me. This little jerk is so arrogant. Today, I want to teach him a lesson on behalf of his parents. Let him know what it means to be better than others. Stupid! How dare he call me a boiled chicken? I'll knock his teeth out and stop him from talking nonsense."

"You really want to go?"

"Why not? I've already said it. If I go back on my word now, won't I have any dignity?"

Fu Qingyu had a terrible headache and wanted to say a few words to Xu Yunfan, but in front of all the civil and military officials, he couldn't get too close to them, so he could only let Xu Yunfan talk nonsense.
