Chapter 1212: Winning Over

"Hahaha, my little sister has not changed much from before she left Yecheng. She is still as beautiful as ever."

After Cao Zhi sat down, he smiled at Cao Jie and said.

Then Cao Zhi turned to the ladies at the table and asked with a smile:

"I just saw that everyone was chatting happily. Are they talking about interesting things about my little sister's childhood?"

"Your Highness, we were just talking about soap, this is it!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang smiled at Cao Zhi, and then handed the purse containing soap to Cao Zhi.

"Soap?"

After Cao Zhi took the purse that contained Mrs. Zhang's body temperature, he opened it gently and saw a small piece of soap inside that was pale pink and exuded the scent of clove.

"Your Highness, this is soap invented by the Hanzhong Hou. The princess is now in charge of the soap production workshop."

Mrs. Li, who was sitting next to Cao Zhi, explained to Cao Zhi at this time.

"It turns out that it was invented by the Marquis of Hanzhong. I guess there must be something unusual about it!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhi held the soap and said in admiration.

Then he turned his attention to Cao Jie.

"I didn't expect that my little sister is now able to manage this soap workshop on her own. It can be seen that not only has my young sister remained young, her business ability has also improved greatly in the past few years!"

Facing Cao Zhi's compliment, Cao Jie smiled softly and said:

"Brother, you are too complimentary. This is all arranged by my husband for my little sister. I just need to follow it."

"Also, if my brother likes this soap, my little sister will give him some soap every year."

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhi took the soap and said to Cao Jie:

"Brother, of course I like this soap, but I don't know what it is used for?"

"Soap is a cleaning product similar to soap locust and bath beans."

Cao Jie began to explain the efficacy of soap to Cao Zhi.

"But unlike soap locust and bath beans, soap is not easily deformed and has a better color."

"Using soap to wash your body will not only bring you the fragrance of soap, but also make your skin smoother."

"If you use soap to clean clothes, not only will the cleaning effect be cleaner than bath beans and soap locust, but the clothes will also have the fragrance of soap."

After Cao Zhi heard Cao Jie's introduction about the functions of soap, he immediately became interested.

"Hahaha, Brother Wei likes this soap very much. My little sister must send more to Brother Wei's house every year!"

Then Cao Zhi smiled at Cao Jie.

Cao Jie naturally smiled and nodded.

Then Cao Jie asked the waiters in the restaurant to add some wine and dishes, and continued the banquet with Cao Zhi and his wife.

Cao Zhi's erudition and humor during the dinner also made Cao Jie and all the ladies very happy.

Everyone was full of praise for Cao Zhi's humor and erudition. Suddenly, the entire private room was filled with laughter.

After drinking, eating, and chatting happily, the ladies at the table gradually realized that Cao Zhi and Cao Jie had something to communicate with alone.

So they gradually said goodbye and left, taking advantage of the fact that it was getting late and they had to go back to supervise their children's homework.

Soon after, only Cao Jie and Cao Zhi were left in the entire private room.

at the same time.

The news that Cao Zhi came to the banquet has also reached Cao Pi's ears.

But Cao Pi was at Cheng Yu's house at this time.

After hearing the news told to him by his servant, a trace of imperceptible anger flashed in Cao Pi's eyes.

Then you and Cheng Yu laughed and chatted.

In a private room of a restaurant.

Cao Zhi saw that all Cao Jie's childhood friends had left.

Then he began to ask Cao Jie seriously:

"My little sister came to Yecheng this time at the invitation of my brother?"

Facing Cao Zhi's inquiry, Cao Jie did not choose to hide it.

"To be honest with you, brother, my little sister did not come to Yecheng this time because she received an invitation from her eldest brother."

"But my little sister was worried when she learned that her father was seriously ill, so she came to Yecheng to see her father."

"It's just that when I was heading to the inner city of the palace, I was invited back home by my eldest brother who happened to be here."

Cao Jie said while showing a worried look.

"So little sister, you haven't seen my father yet?"

After hearing this, Cao Zhi asked Cao Jie again.

"Yes."

"I don't know what's going on with my father's health now."

After hearing this, Cao Zhi suddenly had many doubts in his heart.

It should be that Cao Pi concealed something from Cao Jie and did not let Cao Jie go to see Cao Cao.

So Cao Jie is still worried about Cao Cao's condition.

From this point of view, Yang Xiu's concern that Cao Pi has now successfully won over Bai Feng does not necessarily seem to be true.

And the banquet that Cao Pi prepared for Cao Jie this time was probably to release a false signal to the outside world.

Cao Zhi couldn't help but think that if he hadn't followed Yang Xiu's suggestion and took the initiative to come here to meet Cao Jie.

Then he will believe Cao Pi's plan to win over Bai Feng even more.

It seems that I made the right choice to come to see Cao Jie this time.

Cao Zhi thought in his heart.

Then he said to Cao Jie in a deep voice:

"I don't know what my brother told you about the situation, but my father's condition is not optimistic now."

"Father's illness is a stroke."

Since Cao Pi chose to conceal Cao Cao's illness from Cao Jie.

Then Cao Zhi must tell the truth, so that he can gain more trust from Cao Jie.

In order to win over Bai Feng, Cao Zhi had to tell the truth. After all, even if he and Cao Pi could hide Cao Cao's illness for a while, they couldn't hide it forever.

When Cao Jie heard Cao Zhi say that Cao Cao had a stroke, he immediately pretended to be very surprised.

"What?!"

"Father actually had a stroke!"

"Eldest brother also told me that my father occasionally felt cold when he was emperor, and he is currently recuperating in the Yangxin Palace and it is inconvenient to see people."

"Brother, is father's stroke serious?"

As he spoke, Cao Jie, who was still worried about Cao Cao's condition, couldn't help but shed tears.

"Cao Pi actually lied to my little sister and said that my father only felt cold occasionally, and used this reason to prevent my little sister from visiting my father."

"It seems that Cao Pi has not succeeded in winning over Bai Feng!"

After listening to Cao Jie's inquiry, Cao Zhi felt reassured when he saw Cao Jie crying because he was worried about his father, Emperor Cao Cao.

"My father is now speechless and unable to move. Did Bai Feng go to Yecheng with my little sister this time?"

"With his medical skills, he might be able to cure my father's stroke!"

Cao Zhi thought of Bai Feng's cure for Cao Cao's headache, and couldn't help but ask Cao Jie.

Secondly, there is a plan to find out Bai Feng's whereabouts.

Cao Jie cried and said to Cao Zhi:

"It turns out that my father's condition is now so serious, but my husband did not come to Yecheng this time. When I came to Yecheng, I did not tell my husband directly. I just told him that I wanted to go home and take a look."
