Old Zhang felt a bit hesitant but still agreed, saying, "Alright, I will do my best."
He quickly changed into a fresh and appropriate outfit, then energetically led a group of attendants, each carefully holding precious gifts that had been meticulously prepared. They marched in an orderly manner towards Xia Yuanji's residence.
Before long, they arrived at their destination. The guards at the entrance noticed their arrival and hurriedly approached to inquire. After confirming their identities, they respectfully opened the grand door and guided everyone inside.
As soon as they entered Xia Yuanji's residence, Lin Feng saw Xia Yuanji smiling as he personally came out to greet them.
Xia Yuanji quickly walked up to Lin Feng and bowed, saying, "I am Xia Yuanji, here to pay my respects to the Fourth Prince!"
Lin Feng promptly raised his hand to signal him to rise. "Lord Xia, please, no need for such formalities!"
Then, Xia Yuanji warmly led Lin Feng into the spacious and bright living room. At that moment, besides Xia Yuanji, there were also his wife and daughter, Xia Qingyu.
Seeing Lin Feng arrive, the two ladies quickly stood up and greeted him with a graceful bow.
Lin Feng nodded slightly in return, after which Madam Xia and Xia Qingyu tactfully took their leave.
In the blink of an eye, the large living room was left with only Xia Yuanji and Lin Feng.
Xia Yuanji invited Lin Feng to take a seat and began speaking: "This time, His Majesty has appointed you to oversee the Xingbu; it shows how much he trusts you. He also wants you to take this opportunity to gain more experience."
Lin Feng nodded in response: "I understand this well; the Sun Emperor has already spoken to me about it."
Xia Yuanji nodded and continued: "In that case, you must showcase your talents well in the Xingbu and not let the Emperor's efforts go to waste!"
Lin Feng replied firmly: "Yes, I understand!"
After a brief pause, Xia Yuanji asked with concern: "I have heard that this expedition is not peaceful. What is the situation like? I also heard you were injured on the battlefield; is your injury serious?"
Lin Feng smiled slightly and replied casually: "Overall, this expedition has gone relatively smoothly. Although we encountered some setbacks along the way, we ultimately turned dangers into safety. As for my injury, it is no longer an issue."
Hearing this, Xia Yuanji let out a slight sigh of relief: "That's good to hear! However, while working in the Xingbu, you must be extra cautious."
Lin Feng couldn't help but feel puzzled: "Why such reminders?"
The man lowered his voice and said: "The former Minister of Justice Cheng Dingyuan has been in charge of the Xingbu for many years. Many officials there have deep connections with him."
Lin Feng nodded slightly, indicating his understanding. "Alright, I know how to handle this matter. You can rest assured."
In truth, there wasn't much for the two of them to discuss; their conversation revolved around various affairs of the court.
After a while, Lin Feng suddenly spoke up. "I would like to visit Miss Xia Qingyu."
However, without a moment's hesitation, Xia Yuanji firmly refused, shouting without courtesy, "There will be plenty of time to see her later! Now get lost!"
Faced with such a stubborn attitude, Lin Feng had no choice but to turn away in disappointment.
Before leaving, he entrusted the gift he had brought to Xia Yuanji, asking him to pass it on to Xia Qingyu.
