"How...how is this possible?" The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was utterly shocked.

Qi Jingxi was furious: "How is that impossible?"

"Don't you know who my teachers were?"

Qi Jingxi's words caused many people in the hall to change their expressions drastically.

Among them, the King of Wu looked the most displeased.

Because all of Qi Jingchen and Qi Jingxi's teachers were found by their father, the Emperor!

No matter what kind of teacher they are, they are the most capable.

But his son didn't receive the same treatment.

His father's favoritism... had permeated every corner of his life.

"If you don't know, go ask around! What do those teachers say about me!" Qi Jingxi raised her chin smugly, looking very proud.

The King of Wu sneered, "All assessments of you are of utter insolence."

What's there to be proud of?

"Uncle, are you stupid?" Qi Zhiyu retorted directly when she saw that her second brother's fighting ability was really weak.

Why be polite to this kind of person?

Naturally, we should stomp on the King of Wu wherever he feels pain, and make him suffer enough!

"Chen'an, you have absolutely no respect for your elders!" King Wu scolded.

"You're so stupid you don't even realize it!" Qi Zhiyu sneered. "No wonder you were showing off your son just now."

"The things Qi Jinghong did in the Ministry of Personnel were easier than what my second brother did, but he still had to ask his colleagues and consult his superiors."

"Even at this rate, it will still take several more days of hard work to finish just one piece."

"On the other hand, my second brother didn't need to ask anyone at all; he handled it all himself in less than an hour!"

The people in the hall seemed to be deep in thought.

King Wu frowned deeply: "How Qi Jingxi did it is still unclear..."

"Don't know my ass!" Qi Zhiyu retorted, "Is that big lump on your neck just for show?"

"Chen'an, how dare you!" King Wu roared in fury!

"So what if I'm being presumptuous? Even a Bodhisattva would jump up and beat someone up if they saw an idiot like you!" Qi Zhiyu retorted directly.

"Don't you think about it? Back then, the teachers that our imperial grandfather found all set the exam questions."

"King of Wu, you don't seem to remember me, do you?"

Qi Zhiyu's question caused the King of Wu's expression to change.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled: "Looks like you haven't forgotten, Imperial Uncle."

"None of the great scholars and extraordinary talents that my grandfather invited back then chose your son."

"On the contrary, they were all vying to take my second brother as their student."

Some of the senior officials naturally knew about this matter, and they looked at the King of Wu.

Too much time has passed, especially after the King of Wu became the crown prince, and they all forgot that Qi Jinghong's talent was really only average, with nothing outstanding.

Those gazes made the King of Wu feel extremely uncomfortable.

He was so proud of his son just now, and now he's incredibly embarrassed.

"So what?" King Wu gritted his teeth, refusing to bow his head.

Even if his son was not as good as Qi Jingxi when he was young, that's all in the past.

"Those people are all denouncing Qi Jingxi for being unruly and disobedient!" King Wu coldly reminded everyone, just what kind of person Qi Jingxi really is!

He was a notorious playboy in the capital, spending his days fooling around and doing nothing productive.

In this way, he could finish the tasks assigned to him by the Ministry of Personnel in less than an hour a day.

That's utterly absurd!

Qi Zhiyu smiled: "But when have they ever said my second brother was dull-witted?"

King Wu's expression stiffened, but he still insisted on his point of view: "You speak so highly of Qi Jingxi, then why have her teachers been changed time and again?"

"It's because they couldn't take it anymore and stopped teaching!"

How can that bastard Qi Jingxi compare to his son?

He reluctantly admitted that his son was inferior to Qi Jingchen.

Compared to Qi Jingxi?

Who does Qi Jingxi think he is?

Upon hearing this, Grand Secretary Zhang gave a silent, mocking laugh.

The King of Wu was truly blinded by a leaf and could not see the truth.

Such a person still wants to be the crown prince... No wonder His Majesty disagrees and has always supported Prince Rui.

Those who followed the King of Wu... are probably regretting it now.

Qi Zhiyu looked at the King of Wu as if he were an idiot: "Uncle, didn't you ever think that the reason they left so quickly was because my second brother had finished learning everything he could?"

"They are beyond teaching."

The King of Wu felt as if a thunderbolt had struck his mind, and his body swayed uncontrollably: "This is impossible!"

"Whether it's possible or not isn't up to you to decide," Qi Zhiyu scoffed. "What my second brother did is right here, even our Imperial Grandfather approved of it."

"What? Imperial Uncle, do you think Imperial Grandfather is such a fool who can be easily deceived?"

Emperor Kangwu: "..."

Chen An and Lao Si are arguing all they want, why drag him into it?

King Wu glared fiercely at Qi Zhiyu, and said with a forced smile, "I really didn't expect that Qi Jingxi has been hiding her true abilities all these years."

"Brother, your family...you're so cunning!"

Qi Zhiyu burst out laughing: "What's so cunning or how can you hide your shortcomings?"

"My father is a prince, and you are particularly wary of him."

"My father has enough money that my brother and his family can live a comfortable and wealthy life without having to do anything."

"In this situation, why would my brother and his friends need to reveal their abilities?"

"You've displayed your abilities, Uncle. Will you be able to sleep at night now?"

The King of Wu was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head.

Rui Wang and his family are hiding their strength and now they are catching him off guard at every turn. Is it all for his own good?

Do the Rui family have no shame?

Qi Jingxi sniffed, her eyes slightly reddening. It's so good to have a younger sister.

Prince Rui was looking at his daughter with satisfaction and pride when he caught a glimpse of his son's tearful expression out of the corner of his eye. He looked away with disdain.

My eyes hurt from looking at it.

King Wu steadied himself and forced a smile: "I didn't expect Qi Jingxi to have such abilities."

"If that's the case, why doesn't he do his job properly at the Ministry of Personnel, instead of constantly running around?"

Qi Zhiyu clapped his hands: "Uncle, that's a good question. However, you should ask the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel for the answer!"

Why did he have my second brother put the finished products into an almost abandoned warehouse?

The Vice Minister of Personnel was practically murdered: "I didn't!"

He did give Qi Jingxi some instructions, but he definitely did not tell Qi Jingxi to put the finished product in the warehouse.

"You have it!" Qi Jingxi shouted immediately.

"Otherwise, why would I put the finished product there?"

"At first I was confused and asked you, and you kept giving me warnings. You were implying that if I wanted to rely on my father's power, I shouldn't listen to you."

Everyone in the hall looked at the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

The Vice Minister of Personnel suddenly felt like he had a mouth full of words, but he couldn't explain himself clearly.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent!" The Vice Minister of Personnel kowtowed. "What reason did I have to do this?"

"What reason do you need?" Qi Zhiyu sneered. "It's nothing more than your dependence on the King of Wu."

"Isn't it normal for someone like you to suppress my second brother?"

"What are you pretending for?"
