Ji Xiangying scoffed at the mention of imperial examinations. "Hmph, those commoners, with their lowly bodies, want to become generals? What foolish dreams!"
Xiao Yuan agreed, "That's right, so please pay attention and find an opportunity to speak to His Majesty."
"I know what's going on. Where is your Majesty?"
Xiao Yuan glanced at Ji Xiangying's face and whispered, "I heard that he went to Feng Jun's place for lunch."
"What!"
Ji Xiangying stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."
The sedan chair was parked at the gate of Fengqi Palace. As soon as Ji Xiangying stepped over the threshold, he heard laughter from inside, and his face turned ugly.
"Ji Cejun is here." Xiaoyuan said loudly.
Su Man noticed Ji Xiangying standing at the door like a door god. She wiped the corner of her mouth with the silk handkerchief in front of her and said, "Why are you still standing at the door after you come here? You don't even say a word when you see people."
Ji Xiangying then reluctantly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Your Majesty is in such a good mood and you are enjoying your lunch so much."
Hearing the sour taste in his tone that was about to overflow, Feng Jun acted very magnanimously, "With me accompanying you, Your Majesty will naturally be interested."
Seeing Feng Jun's neck raised like a fighting rooster, Su Man knew that a fight was inevitable.
As expected, upon hearing what Feng Jun said, Ji Xiangying said sarcastically, "Oh, Feng Jun is truly capable. He's almost thirty years old, yet he still manages to attract His Majesty's favor. This is something I truly cannot learn."
Feng Jun's eyes widened. He turned to Su Man and asked, "Is he saying I'm old?"
Su Man couldn't nod, nor could she not nod, so she could only say tactfully, "Xiang Ying is praising you for that, your maturity."
"Mature!"
Feng Jun was furious. "Great! So His Majesty has long despised me for my age. No wonder he kept saying the old hen was too tough to chew. It turns out he wasn't really talking about the old hen, he was making a subtle allusion. I was thinking of trying another clay pot and stewing it again, but now it seems that's unnecessary."
Suman???
Can all of this be connected?
She said with a cold face, "Feng Jun, please stop being unreasonable."
"I'm being unreasonable? I think Your Majesty only sees the new people smile and not the old people cry!"
"presumptuous!"
“…”
Seeing that the conflict between the two was gradually intensifying, Ji Xiangying was no longer angry, no longer found fault, and even pretended to give them some advice.
Su Man was furious and in no mood to pay attention to him. She said with a dark face, "I have something to say to Feng Jun. You can leave first."
Although he was ordered to leave, Ji Xiangying was not angry and left with a gloating look on his face.
