The Marquis of Jingbei was speechless.

Ahem...... Jingbei Hou pretended to cough lightly twice, intending to hide his embarrassment. After a while, Fang Cai said: "If there is something in the future, come to the study to find Ben Hou." ”

Huo Sijin sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, just nodded lightly.

If she could, she really didn't want Jingbei Hou to be her father. In Jingbei Hou's heart, he didn't regard her as his child at all, let alone care about her, and he didn't even look at her more. And only when he needs her, will he say a few more words to her.

But it doesn't matter, the current Huo Sijin is not a fifteen-year-old boy in her bones, the past life and this life are combined, and the soul in her bones is already over twenty years old Huo Sijin who has experienced life and death. She has long passed the age of expecting her father, and she will not have any expectations for Jingbeihou, a father who does not have her in her heart.

If Jingbei Hou didn't provoke her, she wouldn't bother to deal with him at all.

Chu Li saw the indifferent father-son relationship between Huo Sijin and Jingbei Hou, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Uncle Jingbei Hou favored the Zhou family and Huo Zhirou, and ignored his wife Yang and the children born by the Yang family, Chu Li knew about this. Who Jingbei Hou favors, Chu Li didn't care about originally, it had nothing to do with him. What's more, the Yang family has long since declined, but Zhou's younger brother is like a fish in water in officialdom, rising step by step, Jingbei Hou values Zhou, and Chu Li is also happy to see it.

However, what Chu Li didn't expect was that Huo Sijin actually had a friendship with Chu Zheng for some reason, and Chu Zheng also asked Huo Sijin to be the chief historian of the East Palace.

The long history of the East Palace is actually the advisor of the crown prince Chu Zheng. If Huo Sijin is used by Chu Li, then it is equivalent to having a pair of eyes belonging to him Chu Li by the side of the crown prince Chu Zheng, and he can obtain too many secrets of the East Palace.

It's just that although Huo Sijin and him are cousins, there was no friendship between the two before, and the worst thing is that the father-son relationship between Huo Sijin and Jingbei Hou is really not harmonious.

Huo Sijin is already fifteen years old, if the relationship between Jingbei Hou and Huo Sijin is repaired at this time, I am afraid that it will be too late, and even if it can be repaired, it will take a lot of time. Based on this consideration, Chu Li asked Concubine Huo Xian about this matter, and this is why Concubine Huo Xian summoned the Yang family and Huo Sijin.

Chu Li pondered, Huo Sijin is surnamed Huo after all, if he wants to get ahead in the future, he must rely on the strength of the family, Concubine Huo Xian specially summoned them and gave them enough face, which can be regarded as a grace, even if Huo Sijin has a weak relationship with the Marquis of Jingbei, he should always have some feelings of gratitude for Concubine Huo Xian's aunt.

"Cousin, when you go to Huzhou, you must be careful. Huzhou is a place where the floods are extremely serious, and you must protect yourself. Chu Li's tone was full of concern.

Although Huo Sijin felt extremely disgusted when she heard this, she tried her best not to show it on her face, just lowered her eyes slightly, and said lightly: "Yes, Changjin understands." ”

Of course, she will protect herself, and there are still many things waiting for her to do, such as letting Chu Li stumble, so that he will never become the Ninth Five-Year Venerable in this life.

Although Huo Sijin's tone was a little cold, it was much better than her sneering attitude towards Jingbei Hou, and Chu Li was quite satisfied with this.

"Cousin, Taohuaxun is not a joke, you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Huzhou this time, can you be sure of Taohuaxun?" Chu Li asked, his tone slightly lowered.

Huo Sijin's eyes were slightly raised, this is what Chu Li really wants to say.

She quickly pondered in her heart, Chu Li asked such a thing, didn't he know that Chu Zheng had started to build the drainage ditch a month ago.

However, Chu Li is a person who is not profitable and cannot afford to be early, in his previous life, he would take the initiative to ask for an order to deal with the aftermath of the peach blossom flood, which shows that he already knew about Chu Zheng's arrangements in advance.

A hint of color flashed in Huo Sijin's eyes, it seemed that Chu Li was testing her......

"There are peach blossom floods every year, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that the disaster in Huzhou was serious, so he ordered someone to arrange the construction of drainage ditches in advance. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not say the specific matters, Changjin felt that the prince was probably still sure. ”

Chu Zheng ordered people to build drainage ditches in advance, which was originally for the benefit of the country and the people, even if it was known, he would only praise His Royal Highness the Prince for loving the people like a son. So even if he told Chu Li, it didn't matter, besides, the emperor had already agreed to Chu Zheng to go to Huzhou, and Chu Li didn't have a chance to grab the credit.

"It turns out that it has been arranged a long time ago, so the main hall is much more relieved." Chu Li's smile was warm, like a piece of warm jade.

Huo Sijin kept looking at Chu Li's expression in his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, and as she expected, Chu Li was testing her.

"However, cousin, although the prince has already made arrangements, but the flood disaster is not trivial, you still have to be careful everywhere, if you encounter any difficulties, immediately send a letter to the main hall, and the main hall will help you find a way."

Chu Li's words were meaningful, and there was something in his words.

Huo Sijin wanted to pretend to be stupid, but after thinking about it, she changed her mind again, and said to Chu Li: "Changjin is stupid, I don't know what His Highness means by this?" Please also ask Your Highness to make it clear. ”

Before Chu Li could speak, it was Jingbei Hou who took over, "Changjin, aren't you still sharp-toothed?" Why can't I even understand this, I have to explain it! ”

A few words that Huo Sijin said to him, Jingbei Hou Ke has always remembered it. Huo Sijin's performance is called a well-spoken and quick-witted person, why is he looking stupid and stupid at this time?

Huo Sijin glanced at the Marquis of Jingbei, "Changjin is the long history of the East Palace, even if he encounters something that cannot be solved, he should be the first to tell His Royal Highness the Prince." But the third prince said that he wanted Changjin to send a letter to him, which seemed to have something in his words, Changjin ......"

As he spoke, Huo Sijin looked at Chu Li again, "The matter is big, Changjin thinks that His Highness should say it clearly, otherwise it is just Changjin's random speculation, and it can't be true." ”

Chu Li looked at Huo Sijin, she wanted him to make his words clear......

"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, although you and Changjin are cousins, but over the years, what Changjin and His Royal Highness have said can be counted on five fingers, and they are almost like strangers."

The corners of Huo Sijin's lips raised a faint smile, and then said: "Previously, Concubine Xian Niangniang summoned Changjin and said a few words to Changjin...... Speak for yourself. ”

She bit the words "considerate words" hard.

Changjin was a little cranky in his heart, and after listening to His Highness's words today, Changjin was even more confused in his heart. Changjin is really stupid, please forgive Your Highness. ”

Hearing this, Chu Li smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then the main hall will not tell my cousin clearly......"

Huo Sijin laughed secretly in his heart, pretending to be stupid that people can't see is the most powerful pretending to be stupid.
