The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

Qi Zhiyu left, and Qi Jingxi took the food back home.

"Brother, there are many things to attend to, why are you still..."

Qi Jingxi impatiently interrupted Qi Jinghong's lecture: "Even someone hanging themselves needs to catch their breath. What? The Ministry of Personnel is doomed just because I went out to say a few words?"

"Without me, nothing can be done in the Ministry of Personnel?"

How did I know I was that important?

Qi Jinghong's face flushed red with embarrassment: "Brother, that's not what I meant."

"I think that now that you're on duty at the Ministry of Personnel, you should..."

"Alright, alright, do I need you to teach me?" Qi Jingxi interrupted Qi Jinghong again, annoyed.

He went inside and greeted his colleagues: "Come on, come on, my sister brought this to me, she told me to share it with everyone."

"Come and take them all."

The Minister of Personnel was a man of the King of Wu, so naturally, the officials below him also sided with the King of Wu.

Even though Qi Jingxi had made such an invitation, she still didn't come over.

Feeling slighted, Qi Jingxi snorted and angrily sat down to eat by herself.

Qi Jinghong saw this and sneered inwardly.

Even if Prince Rui arranges for Qi Jingxi to enter the Ministry of Personnel, so what?

Most of the people here are loyal to his father, and those with lower official positions dare not offend their superiors.

His presence here allows him to overshadow Qi Jingxi and demonstrate his abilities to his grandfather.

At the same time, he also had to complete the task his father had entrusted to him: to set a trap for Qi Jingxi.

If Qi Zhiyu doesn't want Qi Jingxi to be completely destroyed, he will have no choice but to agree to his father's conditions.

Qi Jinghong looked at Qi Jingxi, who was stuffing food into her mouth by herself, as if she were a dead person.

Dealing with this kind of spoiled brat is... way too easy!

When it was time to finish his shift, Qi Jinghong caught up with Qi Jingxi in a few steps: "Brother, shall we go together?"

"No need," Qi Jingxi refused curtly.

Qi Jinghong said, "Brother, you can't be upset just because I'm more popular than you, can you?"

"This is not my problem either."

"The main reason is that I am eager to learn and diligent in my work... If my elder brother were like me, I believe he could quickly become one with everyone."

Qi Jingxi sneered: "Are you here to laugh at me?"

"How could that be?" Qi Jinghong would certainly not admit it.

"I just think that you should work harder, Your Majesty. Now that you're working in the Ministry of Personnel, you should give it your all," Qi Jinghong kept repeating to Qi Jingxi.

Qi Jingxi walked hurriedly ahead, while Qi Jinghong chased after her relentlessly, saying, "Brother, I'm doing this for your own good."

Suddenly, Qi Jingxi in front of him stopped abruptly, causing the unsuspecting Qi Jinghong to bump into his back.

"Ugh..." Qi Jinghong covered his nose in pain.

What is Qi Jingxi going to do?

Revenge, is that it?

If you can't find a reason to hit him, just stand still and let him run into it on his own?

"Brother, I'm really doing this for your own good! Since you're on duty at the Ministry of Personnel, you should do your job diligently." Qi Jinghong deliberately spoke loudly.

Along the way, quite a few people heard what they said.

He even saw some of the bolder ones follow them from a distance to watch the spectacle.

"Qi Jinghong, are you bullying my second brother?" Qi Zhiyu walked over from the side, staring at Qi Jinghong with a cold face.

Qi Jinghong hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "No, I just wanted to persuade my brother."

That's what he said, but in his heart he was screaming wildly.

He just wanted to see Qi Jingxi make a fool of herself.

Let the people of the capital know that Qi Jingxi is utterly incompetent in the Ministry of Personnel and is unfit for any important position.

"What advice are you giving my second brother?" Qi Zhiyu sneered. "My brother just needs to do his job properly and that's all that matters."

Qi Jinghong stared at Qi Zhiyu in shock: "Chen An, how could you say that?"

"How can you be so lax, you're a member of the royal family?"

Qi Zhiyu scoffed, "What? According to you, anyone connected to the royal family has to be perfect in every way, and there can't be any mediocre individuals?"

"That's not quite it," Qi Jinghong shook his head. "I think we should at least be stricter with ourselves and not just get by."

The surrounding people nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"So what if I'm mediocre? As long as I don't cause trouble, that's fine!" Qi Jingxi retorted defiantly.

Qi Jinghong shook his head in disappointment: "Brother, how can you be so unambitious?"

"You will disappoint your royal uncle and betray the trust your royal grandfather placed in you."

"Brother, how could you think such a thing? Is it because your uncle's expectations of you are usually so low?"

Qi Jinghong sighed.

Qi Zhiyu has been relentlessly suppressing his family and ruining the reputation of the Wu Prince's Mansion. Now, he wants to let everyone know what's going on.

Not everyone in Prince Rui's mansion was ambitious.

He wanted to restore the reputation of their Wu King's Mansion.

Of course, the best way to salvage the situation is to completely destroy the Prince Rui's mansion!

"So, you think our Prince Rui's family tradition is lacking?" Qi Zhiyu seemed to finally understand Qi Jinghong's meaning.

Qi Jinghong waved his hands repeatedly: "Chen An, I didn't say that."

Of course, if others interpret it that way, it has nothing to do with him.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that Qi Zhiyu was smiling.

When she smiled like that, for some reason, his heart skipped a beat, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Stop!" someone shouted in the street.

Judging from the chaotic footsteps approaching, it seemed that several people were chasing someone.

"Daughter! Rou'er, help!" A figure rushed over and pounded on the door with all his might.

Qi Jinghong stared intently at it, then was astonished.

That person, that person isn't from the Tian family?

Not Wei Chengjiang's mother-in-law?

Tian Shi, her hair disheveled and looking flustered, was banging on the door... Only then did Qi Jinghong notice that, without realizing it, he had actually followed Qi Jingxi to the gate of the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence.

"Hurry up and come back with us!" Several old women stepped forward to grab Tian Shi.

As Ms. Tian struggled desperately, she screamed frantically, "Let me go! Let me go!"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled: "Our Prince Rui's family has a bad reputation... Qi Jinghong, it seems that Consort De's family isn't much better either."

Upon hearing Qi Zhiyu's voice, Madam Tian hurriedly turned around and saw Qi Jinghong standing to the side. She cried out as if she had seen a savior, "Young Master, save me! Save me!"

"Aren't you going to save her?" Qi Zhiyu asked curiously to Qi Jinghong, whose face was dark and gloomy.

"Her daughter is Lady Wei Chengjiang, and Wei Chengjiang has to call Consort De 'aunt'."

Qi Jingxi burst out laughing: "Qi Jinghong, you were just chasing after me and chattering on and on."

"You're just trying to say that I'm not as capable as my father or my older brother."

"My lack of ambition and drive is because my father didn't teach me well."

"Well, my family is still better than yours. Your relative... tsk tsk tsk... plotting to murder her own husband and trying to kill two princes, that's quite something."

"I'd rather not have that kind of ambition."
