Li Mofu knew that it was already midnight when Zhao Xu was summoned by the emperor. At this time, Li Mofu was preparing to rest, but Zhao Xu had not yet left the palace.

Although he and Zhao Xu had not been together for a long time, they had lived in the same courtyard for several months and often played cards and chatted together. He felt that Zhao Xu was an easy person to get along with, and he didn't know whether he would be cheated by those old foxes in the palace.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Mofu went to bed late because he was too preoccupied with thoughts the night before, and he was too lazy to get up in the winter, so he didn't wake up until almost noon. By then, Lu Mingyun had already returned from worshipping his ancestors.

Because Lu Mingyun said yesterday that he would come to Jingxiangyuan to have lunch with him at noon and tell him whether Zhao Xu had come out, so Li Mofu had been waiting for him since he got up, but he didn't expect that the person who came was Mo Zhu.

Mo Zhu told him that Lu Mingyun was invited into the palace by the emperor.

Li Mofu had no taste for lunch. He suddenly felt a little worried that Lu Mingyun would be locked up in the palace and unable to leave.

But of course this didn't happen. The emperor wasn't stupid. Why would he lock up his own nephew? It was New Year's Day. Would he let people laugh at him?

Lu Mingyun came back at 1:15 PM, but the news he brought back was not good.

Lu Mingyun said that the emperor invited him to have a meal with the four princes. Yes, Zhao Xu was already a prince, and the emperor said that he would announce it to the world in a few days.

He also said that the emperor thanked him for finding evidence of King Qi's rebellion in Su County and gave him a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

In fact, Lu Mingyun only found the account book, which could not directly prove that the King of Qi was rebelling. The whole matter had actually been under the control of the Emperor and the Crown Prince. They just used Lu Mingyun to send the King of Qi on his way.

When talking about this incident, the Third Prince looked at Lu Mingyun with cold eyes, and Lu Mingyun had no words to grievance. He seemed to have taken the credit for the Prince of Qi's rebellion, but in fact he was just bringing hatred to others.

In order to allow Lu Mingyun to gain recognition for his contribution, the emperor directly promoted him and told him that when he returned to the capital this time, he should not go back to a small place like Su County, but go directly to Jing County under the capital to serve as the county magistrate.

When Li Mofu realized he couldn't return to Su County, he was dazed for a moment, but he still asked, "So, where will Zhao Xu live from now on?"

"Your Majesty has allowed him to temporarily live in the Duke of Zhao's mansion and move in after his own mansion is built." Lu Mingyun said, with some unclear emotions in his words.

"What about us? Should we move out?" Li Mofu asked.

"Move. I'll take you out after the New Year." Lu Mingyun said helplessly.

Li Mofu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's more or less okay, but it's really troublesome to move it around."

"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Mingyun said with a smile.

"If you know how hard I work, you should keep me in Su County." Li Mofu said mercilessly.

Lu Mingyun raised his eyebrows, "No, you'll miss me if you're alone over there."

Li Mofu looked at Lu Mingyun in astonishment and disbelief, "Ah? You're overthinking it."

After that, Li Mofu stood up and didn't want to continue talking to Lu Mingyun. Lu Mingyun had no choice but to follow and said, "Okay, okay, okay, I will miss you."

Li Mofu gave him a middle finger.

The matter of Zhao Xu came to an end. Since he became a prince, he still lived in the Duke of Zhao's mansion. The emperor did not ask him to do anything explicitly, but just hired a teacher to teach him some palace etiquette and court rules.

Apart from attending two hours of classes every day, he is still the carefree and leisurely young master the rest of the time. Oh, now he is the carefree prince.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Xu and Zuo Zheng came to Qinglian Courtyard and called Li Mofu. The four of them played cards together and chatted while playing.

Zhao Xu complained about the classes he had to attend. He felt like he was back in his childhood. He also said that there were too many rules and regulations in the palace, which made him feel overwhelmed.
