Lu Xuan could no longer smile.
He stared intently at Lu Cong's face, as if he wanted to see through it and peer into all his thoughts.
Unfortunately, Lu Xuan, who had lived many years of comfortable and leisurely life, had not developed any commanding presence. Lu Cong, having navigated the officialdom for many years, lacked nothing in terms of strategy and breadth of mind.
Lu Cong looked back sincerely: "I know that saying this may upset you, Prince Consort. However, this is the reality. I also ask you, Prince Consort, to be patient for a bit longer. Until I earn the Commandery Princess's trust, take on real responsibilities, and firmly establish myself in the Nanyang Prince Mansion. By then, Prince Consort, should you have any tasks for me, I will never refuse."
Lu Xuan took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said blandly: "As long as you remember what you've said."
