C248 Can assure (1/2)

Since the steward mentioned Wei He, then there must be something that the steward had to tell him in secret.

”After meeting the princess, there are some things that should be said, and some things that shouldn't be said. Young master should have a plan in mind.”

”I understand.”

How could he not know that he would be mad if he were to bring up in front of Qi and the princess the grievances of losing face?

Just like this, Lin Mu Gan was brought before Qi He.

”Butler, you can leave. I would like to speak with him alone.” Vi rose from the swing.

”This little one will take his leave.” The housekeeper was a sensible person. This Lin Mu Gan didn't know martial arts and hadn't drunk any wine, so he shouldn't be a threat to the princess.

Lin Mu Gan carefully glanced at Wei He, and discovered that the imperial princess was indeed not ordinary. Rumors said that Wei He and the princess had been in a divine state ever since the incident, and their skin was sallow and devoid of any beauty. Although they had indeed lost some weight today, there was a unique beauty hidden within them.

”This commoner pays his respects to the princess.” There had to be etiquette. Even if others said that she had lost her chastity, her identity as a princess was still there. As a commoner, she could not be looked down upon.

Qi He took a few steps forward and lowered his eyes to look at him, ”You are Lin Mu Gan? With one look, you can tell that your knowledge is extraordinary, but why did you fail so many times? ”

In the past, cheating and bribery had been widespread, but ever since royal uncle ascended to the throne, it had changed a lot. Now, a Humble Class disciple could be selected as an official by the imperial government through true knowledge.

Strange, strange.

”This commoner doesn't know anything about it. Maybe the teacher in charge of reading papers has a different hobby, but this commoner is just like a horse and hasn't met Bo Le.” Lin Mu Gan's words were very sour, but they were filled with a hint of conceit.

To dare to compare himself to a thousand-li horse in front of a princess, wasn't this the same as being arrogant and conceited?

Qi He smiled and said, ”You are indeed straightforward, but how do you know that the Imperial Advisor is the Bo Le you're looking for?”

It had not been a day or two since he had last seen the Imperial Advisors. He had staunchly refused to give up until he had achieved his goal.

”Reporting to the Princess, this commoner does not know whether the Imperial Advisor is a fool or not, but this commoner is destitute and has no money to send gifts to the nobles. I've heard that the Imperial Advisor is pure and honest, so this commoner came here to try and find a way out.”

He hoped that Qin Fei could become his lifeline and help him to return to his hometown and escape from the fate of being poor for generations.

”Can I take it that you are praising my master?” For some reason, Qi He started to joke with him. Perhaps it was because his recent days had been too depressing and uncomfortable, but now that he suddenly saw a talented person, his heavy feelings changed slightly.

Lin Mu Gan smiled. ”I can be considered.”

Ambition is hard to pay, can only put all the hope on the teacher.

”Actually, you're right. Master is indeed a clean and honest man, never forming alliances, never taking bribes, but he and those people in the imperial court don't get involved in the affairs of the river, and this matter of promotion and wealth is not under his control. Even if you do get the favor of Master …” ”It's useless.”
