Leng Ming glanced at him, took a few deep breaths, and asked angrily:

"Fifth brother, can you find me a job in the court? I asked my fourth brother to find me one, but he first assigned me a job as a proofreader in the library, a job I couldn't handle. Then he assigned me a job as a warehouse keeper in the military camp. Do you think he doesn't think highly of me? Does he think I, Leng Ming, am useless? I can't do anything right?"

Seeing Leng Ming's angry look, Leng Xi patted his shoulder and comforted him with a chuckle:

"Why are you so angry? Fourth Brother must have his reasons for doing this. He must be doing this for your own good. He's worried that you'll be too tired to do other things, so he wants to find you something light and enjoyable to do."

"He's doing this for my own good? Fifth Brother, are you covering up for him? He's deliberately making things difficult for me, asking me to count the items in the military warehouse and give them to him within three days. There's so much stuff, and the variety is so diverse. How can I count it? I can't finish it even if I stay up for three days and three nights."

As Leng Ming spoke, he walked into the house, picked up the teacup on the table without hesitation, filled it with water, and drank it down in one gulp.

Leng Xi instructed the butler beside him:

"Go get a pot of chrysanthemum tea to help Prince Ming cool down."

The butler bowed in agreement and turned to prepare tea.

Leng Xi came and sat down opposite Leng Ming, looking at his angry expression, and comforted him softly:

"Ming'er, Fourth Brother is now the Regent. He's second only to the Emperor and has the final say over the entire Daning Kingdom. Even if I could arrange a position for you, I wouldn't dare. If he were to cause trouble for me, it would be difficult for me to gain a foothold in Daning Kingdom."

Hearing Leng Xi say this, Leng Ming became even more angry. "Do I have to let him control me? Do I have to be bullied by him?"

At this time, the housekeeper brought chrysanthemum tea. Leng Xi poured him a full cup, pushed it in front of him, and comforted him softly.

"Ming'er, don't be impulsive in your words and actions. Your fourth brother is no longer the one who used to play with you in the Imperial Garden. You shouldn't be that cynical Ming'er anymore. You should be more ambitious. As the saying goes, only those who can endure can achieve great things."

His words left Leng Ming puzzled.

"Fifth brother, what do you mean by this? You don't want to help me, right?"

Leng Xi's eyes suddenly narrowed, and then his face darkened as he said seriously:

"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I can't help you, but I can give you advice behind your back so that you can quickly gain his trust and gain a foothold by his side, as long as you are willing to listen to me."

"No, I don't want to go around him anymore. He doesn't take me seriously as his brother. I don't want to be treated like that."

"Ming'er..."

Leng Xi saw that Ming'er seemed a little excited, and his eagle-like eyes flashed a sharp look, and then he said:

"Haven't you heard the story of sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall? Can't you see it from this incident? He's just a regent now, and he's suppressing you like this. One day in the future, when he truly ascends the throne, what do you think he'll do to you? If you don't accumulate enough power during this period, then what will you have to compete with him one day?"

Leng Ming listened quietly, his mind working rapidly.

He suddenly felt that what his fifth brother said made sense. Today, he expressed his dissatisfaction in front of Leng Yu, but Leng Yu didn't even say a word of persuasion. This showed that Leng Yu didn't consider the brotherhood between them at all. He just wanted to find a job and was just trying to please him. When he saw that he was about to leave, he didn't stop him.

Thinking of this, he waved his fist, pounded it heavily on the table, and said angrily with a frown:

"That's a real wake-up call! At first I thought he just thought I couldn't do anything and just gave me a random job to do. Now that you've said that, I finally understand. He wants others to know that I'm just a mediocre person. He wants to suppress me..."

"Ming'er, think clearly now and stop acting like a child. Since we were born into the royal family, we have no right to act like a fool. If we want to survive, we have to fight and seize it with all our strength. This world belongs to our father. You and I are all his sons, so this world should be divided equally, not controlled by one person..."

"Fifth Brother said yes. By then, if I want to get a woman, won't it be easy?"

woman?

Hearing Leng Ming say this, Leng Xi suddenly thought of the woman named Luo Xue. When they were having dinner at the Duke's Mansion that day, he noticed that Ming'er was being attentive to her, but she ignored Ming'er. It seemed that Ming'er had fallen in love with that woman.

Thinking of this, he turned his eyes slightly and continued:

"Once your position is secure, women will throw themselves at you, and you won't be able to hide even if you want to. So, Fifth Brother advises you to consider this matter carefully. Don't get into a fight with Leng Yu right now, or you'll be the only one who suffers. Do you understand what I mean?"

Leng Ming frowned slightly and asked mysteriously:

"Fifth Brother wants me to be his spy?"

"Don't say such harsh words. This is called sleeping on straw and tasting gall. Besides, if you fall out with him now, and he goes back and tells Princess Yu about your behavior, will Princess Yu's sister Luo Xue still like you? She will definitely hate you even more."

Leng Xi's words seemed to touch Leng Ming's heart. He looked at Leng Xi in silence and asked in confusion:

"Fifth brother, how did you know?"

Leng Xi shrugged, raised his eyebrows and smiled:

"Everyone in the world knows that you have feelings for Luo Xue, but she has no interest in you. Now when she looks for a man, she will definitely use Leng Yu as her standard. From her eyes, Fifth Brother can see that she admires Leng Yu very much, so you have to hurry up and don't let Leng Yu and her sister have it all..."

“He dares…”

Leng Ming suddenly swung his arms and stood up from the chair angrily. Leng Xi saw this and quickly raised his hand to press down.

"Look at your hot temper. No wonder Liu Luoxue is so hot and cold towards you. Why are you so anxious? I'm just telling you to take precautions. It's not really going to happen. Just listen to Fifth Brother and I'll make sure you marry the beauty."

"Really?"

If it weren't for Luo Xue, Leng Ming would not have been willing to work in the court. It would have been much better for him to be a prince peacefully.

Now, after hearing Leng Xi's words, his heart also jumped into his throat. Luo Xue often mentioned Leng Yu in front of him, and her words were full of admiration. If she really had feelings for Leng Yu, and Princess Yu loved her sister, there was no guarantee that she would not take him into the Prince Yu Mansion...

Thinking of this, he rolled up his sleeves irritably.

"Fifth brother, tell me what I should do. I'll do whatever you say."
