Chapter 1254 Cao Chong Arrives
The next morning, Cao Pi, who had already arrived in Yecheng, first came to the palace and reported the situation to Cao Cao.
"Father, this is the situation."
"Yes, I understand."
After listening to Cao Pi's report, Cao Cao nodded slightly and said.
With Cao Pi assisting him in handling government affairs these days, Cao Cao indeed felt a lot more relaxed.
Cao Pi wanted to perform well in front of Cao Cao, so he was particularly careful when handling the affairs assigned to him by Cao Cao.
It's just that most of the affairs that Cao Cao entrusts to Cao Pi now are supervision matters, and Cao Cao does not directly entrust Cao Pi to deal with political affairs that require decision-making.
Although Cao Pi felt anxious, he was still serious when doing things.
The crown prince's throne is right in front of him, but he cannot let things slip at this critical moment.
"Go back and have a good rest for a day. I have other things for you to handle tomorrow."
Cao Cao then said to Cao Pi.
After hearing this, Cao Pi said goodbye to Cao Cao and returned to his mansion.
When Cao Pi returned to his mansion, he asked his servants:
"Has the letter been delivered to the Hanzhong Marquis?"
After hearing this, the servant who was responsible for inviting Cao Pi to Bai Feng for the banquet replied to Cao Pi:
"Reporting to Your Highness, the letter has been handed into the hands of the palace maid, and it should have been delivered to the Hanzhong Marquis now."
"But I don't know whether Hanzhong Hou will attend the banquet."
"okay, I get it."
After listening to the servant's report, Cao Pi said calmly.
Cao Pi was not very sure whether he could successfully invite Bai Feng to the banquet.
It doesn't take much effort to just send a letter to Bai Feng. If Bai Feng can really come to his house for a banquet, that would be a good thing.
If he doesn't come, Cao Pi will have nothing to lose.
Now Cao Pi has put all his focus on Cao Cao after Sima Yi's advice.
Even if Bai Feng supports him to become the prince, now it seems that it is just the icing on the cake.
"I must get this crown prince position!"
Cao Pi swore secretly in his heart.
Zhen Mi also learned at this time that Cao Pi had returned to the house.
The couple hadn't seen each other for many days, so naturally they wanted to express their love for each other.
That night, in the palace.
The palace maid who had delivered a message to Bai Feng saw Bai Feng and Cao Jie accompanying Cao Cao back to his room after dinner.
"Hanzhong Hou, do you want to go to His Highness's residence for a banquet tomorrow?"
After the palace maid came to Bai Feng, she asked softly.
Bai Feng heard this and said to the palace maid:
"I won't be going to this banquet. Tell His Highness Cao Pi that Jie'er and I have been busy with the soap workshop these two days and really don't have time to go to the banquet."
After the palace maid memorized what she was going to convey to Cao Pi, she said to Bai Feng:
"Thank you, Hou Hanzhong. I will convey your words to His Highness."
Then the palace maid left in a hurry.
Cao Jie on the side waited until the palace maid left, then said to Bai Feng:
"Now that my father has asked my brother to help handle government affairs, it seems that he is optimistic about him."
This was the first time Cao Jie mentioned to Bai Feng about the crown prince's position after the two came to Yecheng.
After Bai Feng heard Cao Jie's analysis, he couldn't help but smile to Cao Jie and said:
"No matter who becomes the crown prince of Wei, I support your Majesty's decision."
Then the two returned to the room together.
Soon after, Liuli and Zhang Qiying also came to the room.
The two of them are now Cao Jie's personal maids, so they also have some privileges, that is, they can enter and exit the palace.
"Sir, ma'am."
After Liuli and Zhang Qiying greeted Bai Feng and Cao Jie, they began to report to them that they were looking for other suitable locations for building soap workshops in Ye City.
After returning from Shopkeeper Chen today, Cao Jie felt that the output of a soap workshop was still not enough.
Yecheng's soap consumption alone is equivalent to half of Yizhou.
Therefore, Cao Jie wanted to build more soap production workshops, so that when he started to cooperate with the nobles in Yecheng, he could quickly increase the production of soap, so that everyone could earn more money.
Liuli and Zhang Qiying were arranged to go to the city to search for other houses suitable for soap workshops.
"How's it going? Have you found a suitable house?"
Cao Jie asked Liuli and Zhang Qiying.
After the two took a sip of tea, they reported the situation to Cao Jie one after another.
"Madam, there is a house in the east of the city that is more suitable."
"Madam, there are two houses in the north of the city that are more suitable."
Liuli and Zhang Qiying split up, one went to the east of the city and the other to the north of the city.
After Cao Jie and Bai Feng listened to their reports, Cao Jie said to Liuli and Zhang Qiying:
"Since these three houses are suitable, you can go and buy these three houses tomorrow. The price should be based on the current market price in Yecheng."
The wealthy Cao Jie wanted to buy all three houses at once and use them as soap production workshops.
Liuli and Zhang Qiying nodded in agreement at the same time.
Then Cao Jie asked the two of them to rest first.
That night, Bai Feng didn't feel sleepy at all, and he and Cao Jie were admiring the moon in the courtyard.
"When will tomorrow come?"
Bai Feng looked at the bright moon in the sky and hummed softly.
"Husband, what kind of song is this?"
After hearing Bai Feng's humming, Cao Jie asked Bai Feng curiously.
"Do you want to learn?"
"Yes, it sounds good!"
"Well, your husband will teach you tonight."
Then Bai Feng began to teach Cao Jie to sing "May We Live Long".
I wonder what Su Shi would think if he knew this scene.
No words were spoken all night.
The next morning, after Cao Jie and Bai Feng had breakfast, they went to the Yangxin Palace together.
Today is the day when Bai Feng cleared the meridians for Cao Cao again.
The old man's qi and blood are not flowing smoothly, so Bai Feng used the method of clearing the meridians to help Cao Cao regulate his body.
Just after Bai Feng helped Cao Cao clear the meridians, Cao Chong came to see Cao Cao.
This was the first time Bai Feng saw Cao Chong after returning to Yecheng.
Cao Chong has now grown into a handsome and tall young man.
"My son greets his father and meets Mr. Bai, sister."
After Cao Chong arrived, he greeted Cao Cao and smiled at Bai Feng and Cao Jie.
"Well, Cangshu, please sit down."
Cao Cao, who had just cleared his meridians, felt relaxed and smiled at Cao Chong.
"Your Highness, long time no see."
Bai Feng then smiled at Cao Chong.
Half a year ago, it was Cao Chong who sent a letter to Bai Feng, letting Bai Feng and Cao Jie know that Cao Cao was in a coma due to a stroke.
It can be said that Cao Cao's life was saved by his youngest son.
