Hu Ximei, the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit, laughed in her heart. She had seen many men and eaten many of them. The blood of a strong man smelled good. The texture was long and the aftertaste was refreshing. The blood of an old man was very fishy and tasted like chewing wax. The favorite minister in front of him had a big belly and was very annoying. She felt disgusted even if he gave it to her for free.
However, Fei Zhong was a cunning old man. He was well-connected between King Zhou and the ministers. The ministers knew that he was a cunning and cunning villain, but no one dared to offend him. Even Prime Minister Bi Gan and Shang Rong could not do anything to him. They could only turn a blind eye to him. Although Hu Ximei was extremely annoying, for the sake of their future, she could only pretend to be polite. After all, they were demons and not humans. Men were just tools for her to use.
Fei Zhong was envious, but he was thinking about Hu Ximei's intention. She was Su Daji's favorite and called her sister. She was always fooling around with King Zhou and could not be offended. Did he come here today on the imperial concubine's orders or did he come here himself? He thought that something was not right. He was old and weak, and he was in the twilight of his life. He could not attract such a beauty. Although Hu Ximei's eyes were flirtatious and enchanting, the drunkard's intentions were not in the wine. It was just like the old saying, those who came did not come with good intentions, and those who came with good intentions did not come.
After thinking it through, Fei Zhong changed his previous obscene behavior and sat upright. He asked with a smile,"Hu Jiao, why have you come to my residence?”
Hu Ximei took a sip of tea and said,"This fragrant tea is much worse than the Bejewelled Nectar of the Heavenly Palace.”
Fei Zhong replied," Hu Jiao is joking. We are just mortal flesh. How can we taste the delicacies? Besides, can anyone go to the Heavenly Palace?" The world knew that immortals were good, but where was the Heaven Trampling Stairway?”
Hu Ximei chuckled." My lord, you really want to become an immortal. Although the Heavenly Palace is good, compared to the human world, it's more lonely and less joyful." In the luxurious clothes and jade food, magnificent, but the belly of the wren branch, quiet and few desires. That was like you, Lord Fei, a talented scholar and a beautiful woman, with wine and green lanterns, mandarin ducks facing each other in the strong sense of spring, soft fragrance hugging flowers in your arms. Only when the two feelings meet, you will know that there are many benefits in the world.”
" Haha…" Fei Zhong laughed happily."Good, good, Hu Jiao is really glib, this old master is overjoyed. If two feelings meet, I know that there are many benefits in the human world, then I only admire mandarin ducks and not immortals. However, what if a beauty was like a flower that was far away from the clouds?”
After he finished speaking, Fei Zhong's eyes darted around Hu Ximei's voluptuous and delicate body.
Hu Ximei deliberately straightened her chest and put on the most charming pose. She smiled and replied,"Hasn't the beauty already delivered herself to my door? What is Milord waiting for?”
The fox demoness used her seduction technique and turned around with a smile. All kinds of flirtatious looks surrounded her brows. A woman who exuded seductiveness from her bones was seducing men all the time, affecting their nerves. However, Fei Zhong held it in and crossed his legs. He replied with a fake smile,"This old man knows that I'm the same as you. As the saying goes, you don't receive rewards without merit. Hu Jiao is a beauty of the country. What kind of man can't she find? She won't be willing to give herself to an old middle-aged man. Although I am a soft-hearted person, I am also a sensible person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to stay aloof and calm in the Imperial Court, which is full of strife and schemes.”
Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit Hu Ximei nodded and said,""If Lord Fei is different from the rest and extremely intelligent, this servant has underestimated you. I'll get straight to the point and tell the truth.”
"It's best to be honest and straightforward," replied Fei Zhong.”
"This servant has come to visit Daren under Concubine Su's decree. I have brought Daren two surprises. One is that if Daren relies on Concubine Su, you will be able to accomplish great things and have a bright future, unlike now where you have no power and waste your time. I don't think Lord Fei would willingly sink into it.”
Fei Zhong rolled his eyes and laughed dryly."This old man is not bad now. I have a car and fish to eat. Not to mention a house full of gold and jade, I'm also well-off and have nothing else to ask for.”
"Do you really think so, Lord Fei?" Hu Ximei asked with a sneer. I ask you, as an important official of the imperial court, is there any place for you to display your skills in Zhaoge's Golden Palace? How much weight do your words carry? Who would listen to you? Who would be humble and respectful to you? All of this is because you don't have any real power, so you can only compromise. If you follow Concubine Su, you will immediately have a good career and be proud. Why not?”
Fei Zhong looked cold on the outside, but his heart was already in turmoil. Relying on Su Daji's big ship, he would definitely sail far and soar. A woman who could make King Zhou fall head over heels in love with her. Her series of actions since she entered Zhaoge had proved that she did not only conquer the emperor with her beauty. This beauty was sinister and cunning, but she was also shrewd and capable. When they first met at the official residence of the Marquis of Jizhou, he was only amazed by her incomparable beauty. Who would have thought that under her delicate and moving expression hid such a ferocious ambition? This was something that Fei Zhong did not expect.
Fei Zhong had tried to please Su Daji countless times, but Su Daji had turned a blind eye and ignored him. Now that the tables had turned and she had come to him, he would be a fool if he did not seize the opportunity. However, Fei Zhong still had to wait for the right price and strive for the greatest benefits, so he smiled and said,"Concubine Su thinks so highly of me, Fei Zhong is overwhelmed and grateful. But this old man is a very practical person. What benefits can I get from helping Concubine Su?”
" I'm sure you know who has the most power among the ministers in Zhaoge," Hu Ximei said.”
"Naturally, it's the Prime Minister who wants to compete." Fei Zhong replied.
"If I replace him and let Sir Fei take this position, would Sir be satisfied?”
Fei Zhong's face turned red. The Prime Minister Shang Rong and the Prime Minister Bi Gan were the two pillars of the country. Even King Zhou had to show some respect to them. Shang Rong resigned and went home to enjoy his life. Bi Gan was the only one left to support him. That was why the Shang Dynasty was not in chaos. Bigan was the pillar of Chaoge. However, the Prime Minister had never been kind to him. He had repeatedly reprimanded him for having evil intentions and harming the country and the people. Fei Zhong gritted his teeth in hatred, but there was nothing he could do.
Today, Su Daji suddenly gave him a huge benefit. She replaced Bigan and became the Prime Minister. She was above everyone else and had power over the entire country. This was something that Fei Zhong could not even dream of. Now, it had indeed appeared in front of him. Was it true? Fei Zhong secretly pinched his thigh. He felt pain. It wasn't a dream. It was real.
His eyes lit up and his breathing quickened.
