Listening to Zhao Feng's words.
At this mont, Han Fei felt sowhat helpless.
"My Eldest Imperial Son, nowadays your status is completely different."
"In the past, although you were the head of the military officials, you were still a colleague, but now you are the Eldest Imperial Son, the future Crown Prince, and I am your future subject."
"How could I dare treat you as I did before?"
Han Fei thought to himself, feeling deeply helpless.
Recalling his casual interactions with Zhao Feng before, Han Fei felt sowhat strange.
"Lord Wu'an has once again annihilated a nation for Qin, a feat of great rit, naturally I must show respect." Han Fei said sternly.
Looking at Han Fei.
Zhao Feng glanced up and down, then said, "Are you still Han Fei?"
"In the past, as soon as I returned, you would be calling for drinks and ats. This ti, you've changed completely?"
"Why?"
"You're acting as if I were so superior officer of yours."
Upon hearing this.
Li Si imdiately laughed and said, "Lord Wu'an jokes, this is the court, Chancellor Han must show consideration."
"Why?"
"Unified under the heavens, afraid people might accuse the head of civil officials and the head of military officials of colluding?" Zhao Feng mused, and smirked quietly to Han Fei.
"Well..."
Han Fei's expression changed, as it was sothing he hadn't truly anticipated.
"Alas."
"Lord Wu'an."
"This court will beco complicated in the future."
"The First Emperor has just declared the Eldest Imperial Son to return and be designated as the Crown Prince. Surely, Lord Wu'an has so thoughts on this?" Han Fei asked with a smile.

Han Fei's expression changed, as it was sothing he hadn't truly anticipated.
"Alas."
"What thoughts could I have."
"Lord Wu'an."
"Just observe."
"Could the Eldest Imperial Son possibly harm ?" Zhao Feng chuckled, not taking it seriously at all.
However.
Zhao Feng was indeed curious about this legendary Eldest Imperial Son.
Who could he be?
A person never seen in history.
"Seems that Lord Wu'an hasn't t this Eldest Imperial Son." Han Fei laughed.
"Have you seen him?" Zhao Feng asked curiously.
"Never."
Han Fei shook his head, though internally thinking: "I've seen him countless tis, but if it wasn't the First Emperor who spoke, who would have thought the world-renowned Lord Wu'an would be the Eldest Imperial Son of Qin!"
"Then why say anything."
"Wait for the First Emperor to summon him, then he will appear."
"Appearing now would only invite trouble." Zhao Feng laughed, choosing not to dwell on it.
"Lord Wu'an returns triumphant."
"Congratulations to Lord Wu'an!"
At this mont!
Feng Quji and Feng Jie both strolled over.
"How rare."
"In the past, the two of the Feng family were rely acquaintances, barely offering greetings, yet today they've greeted voluntarily."
Observing their approach, Zhao Feng was a bit surprised.
Within the court.
Apart from his father-in-law and Han Fei, Zhao Feng had not deeply connected with others.
"Thank you, gentlen."
Zhao Feng smiled, clasping his fists in a courteous return.
"I heard that Lord Wu'an's sister is engaged to the son of the Tingwei, could our brotherly pair request a cup of celebratory wine?" Feng Quji asked with a laugh.
"Haha."
"The date is yet unset, but should I be able to invite you both for celebratory wine, it would be my honor."
"Once the date is set, I'll surely send an invitation." Zhao Feng said smilingly.
Naturally accepting the goodwill from the two brothers of the Feng family.
Though he didn't know why they suddenly behaved so, as long as they weren't causing trouble like Wang Wan, Zhao Feng was inclined to be cordial.
If they were like Wang Wan, then Zhao Feng certainly wouldn't be so courteous.
He'd definitely strike them with thunderous force.
"Lord Wu'an's words are noted by us brothers."
"On the day of the banquet, my brother and I will certainly attend." Feng Quji smiled, clasping fists.
"Certainly." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
Having just returned to the court.
Gloriously returning.
Though Zhao Feng harbors self-deprecation, most of the courtiers can clearly see that Ying Zheng's favor for Zhao Feng hasn't diminished.
For a ti.
Many courtiers gathered around Zhao Feng with congratulations.
And the news of Zhao Feng's sister's betrothal to Li You had spread, leading many courtiers to thick-facedly request wine.
Regarding these, Zhao Feng naturally handled them one by one.
However at this mont.
Not all courtiers ca to congratulate Zhao Feng.
About half the courtiers were restless, unsettled in spirit.
Because the news just announced by Ying Zheng was like thunder, causing many to be uneasy.
At the foot of the steps.
Fusu and Hu Hai stood on the spot, not moving, but neither of their expressions looked good.
"Brother."
"Unexpected, after all our disputes, it's all in vain."
"Unexpected there's yet another brother above you."
"What a joke."
Hu Hai displayed a trace of cold and frustration, his eyes full of resentnt.
"If it's not ours, then it's not ours."
"Adhere to Father's will."
Fusu took a glance at Hu Hai.
Though disappointed within.
Today's mont, however, breathed a silent relief for Fusu, seemingly shedding much of the burden he'd carried.
All along.
Fusu had been supported by Wang Wan and others, nominated to beco the future Prince of Qin.
Fusu carried many burdens, greatly pressured.
Yet, Fusu was chosen, for his maternal family, for the future, not wanting to disappoint his supporters, Fusu relentlessly strove for that position through his competency.
Eventually!
He never caught his father's eye.
"Are you willing?"
Hu Hai gritted his teeth, asking Fusu.
"What cos from unwillingness?"
"Who can alter Father's will?"
"Moreover."
"Every step of the way, I've been pushed forward, carrying too much, now I can finally take a breath."
