Doomsday Code

Chapter 467 Princess Phipsa

After putting on his clothes and folding his quilt, Chen Cheng walked out of the room. He took the toiletries from the maid and asked while brushing his teeth:

"Where is the Earl? Has he gotten up yet?"

The little maid had also been with Chen Cheng for some time and knew that he was a good man without airs, so she also released her little girl nature and rolled her eyes at Chen Cheng and said:

"How could the Earl be the same as you? The Earl has already been waiting for you at the table."

Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng also quickened his washing time. After wiping the water off his face, he came to the restaurant in the front hall.

"The good boy finally decided to give it up."

Chen Cheng also smiled awkwardly. He had clearly said when they parted last night that he would not stay in bed today.

Moreover, Chen Cheng also discovered that since he came to the civilized world from the deep mountains and forests, he has been able to sleep a lot.

Could it be that I have lost my sense of urgency and have become useless?

"Okay, hurry up and sit down to have breakfast. Come with me to the princess's mansion to meet my mother today. She has mentioned you many times in her letters home and wants to meet you."

When the two were almost done with breakfast, the housekeeper came in and said:

"The carriage is ready, sir."

Huidun wiped his mouth and put the tissue down, then said to Chen Cheng:

"We're almost done eating, let's go."

The two of them left the mansion and got on the carriage. Huidun then introduced the surrounding mansions and people along the way to Chen Cheng.

This entire street is filled with the residences of nobles and high-ranking officials. Although Huidun has never lived here before, he is very familiar with the surrounding situation.

Just when Chen Cheng thought the walk would take a long time, they arrived at the princess's mansion in just a few minutes.

Seeing that it was just across the street and only a few minutes' walk away, Chen Cheng also understood what complicated rules meant.

These nobles absolutely cannot walk when they go out. They have to take a car if possible, otherwise it would be disrespectful.

At this time, the princess's mansion had been waiting for Huidun to come back for a long time. The middle door was opened early and the brazier across the door was ready.

At this time, Princess Feipusa was dressed elegantly, exuding the charming aura of a mature woman. She watched Huidun get off the carriage with a happy smile on her face.

When she saw Huidun, she immediately stepped forward and held Huidun's hand.

"Hurry up and follow mom."

As she spoke, Princess Feipusa pulled Huidun over the brazier.

Huidun felt embarrassed when being pulled by his mother like this.

He broke free from Princess Phipsa and introduced her:

"Mother, this is the Brown I told you about."

It had been a long time since Feipusha saw her son so excited. When she saw Chen Cheng, she regained her usual dignity and grace.

Then she did something that no one expected.

Feipusha bowed directly to Chen Cheng and said:

"Thank you very much for your help to my son. If it weren't for you, my son wouldn't be where he is today."

Her action really scared Chen Cheng.

He knew that the most important thing in the royal family was rules, and that the princess's courtesy to a commoner like him was a huge violation of the rules.

He also immediately stepped aside, and then said quickly:

"Your Highness, there is no need to do this. As a subject, I must naturally fulfill my duties as a subject."

At this time, Princess Feipusa was also helped up by Huidun.

"Sir, what you said is very good. If all the ministers in the kingdom can fulfill your duty, it will be a blessing for the kingdom."

"Okay, mother, let's go back home."

At this time, Huidun interrupted Princess Feipusa.

"Okay, let's go back home. Mother hasn't seen you for a long time."

Chen Cheng watched Fipsa and her son leave, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really scared by Fipsa's behavior just now. If this news got out accidentally, he would become the target of public criticism.

He now wondered if he had offended Her Royal Highness the Princess at some point.

But when Huidun and Feipusa entered the mansion, the happy look on Huidun's face was gone.

"Mother, why did you embarrass Brown like that just now?"

Princess Phipsa said, as if it was for your own good:

"I'm also checking on the child to see how he can cope with unexpected events, except for accidents.

You know, he may become your prime minister in the future. If he can't even pass that test, then he is useless."

Princess Phipsa is indeed a veteran in power struggles, and her first move was a test.

"But that kid is not bad. Although he is a little immature, he handled the sudden incident well."

Princess Phipsa said in a scrutinizing tone.

However, Huidun's face did not look very good at this time.

"Mother, don't you think this is too much? If it weren't for Brown, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be qualified to join now."

However, Princess Phipsa shook her head and said:

"I know you still have the mentality of a child, believing in the saying "you don't let me down and I won't let you down", but your father doesn't care about these things.

A minister is always a minister. As Brown himself said, he assists you only to fulfill the duty of a minister.

Huidun felt very tired at this moment. He waved his hand to stop Princess Feipusha from speaking, and then said:

"I didn't come back today to listen to you, mother. I just wanted to come and see you. Also, please don't worry about my affairs in the future. I won't become a king like my father. If I do, my life will be very tiring and unhappy."

Feipusa wanted to persuade Huidun, but when she saw the fatigue on Huidun's face, she gave up.

The eldest prince and his people probably thought Huidun was power-hungry, but as his mother, Princess Feipusa naturally knew what her son wanted.

He had never been interested in power, and he fought for everything just to keep them and their son alive.

If there was any other way to do it now, she could be sure that her son would immediately withdraw from the fight for the throne.

"Well, today is a happy day, let's not talk about this anymore. Go and invite Brown in. I want to apologize to him in person."

"That's not necessary. He's not used to this way of getting along."

Huidun raised his hand to reject Princess Feipusa's words.

Then there was silence in the hall, because the mother and son found that they could no longer find any common topics.

Finally, Princess Phipsa found a topic and said:

"What's going on with your bank? Your uncle Wang Xiaosuo lost a lot of money in your bank."

"He came to me last night, but I told him that it was just business. He just lost money. I will go to him again this afternoon to give him some advice and see if I can make his money back."

Princess Phipsa nodded and said:

"I can help you, but you have to do this in front of other people, otherwise your bank's reputation will be ruined."
