The Pheonix and The Dragon

19.Enjoy Good Fortune Together

"Long time no see; Virtuous Nephew looks more outstanding." The leader of the Choi Family, also the elder brother of the Jung Family second mistress, Choi Minho sat deliberately next to Taehyung. He ignored that his juniors were all around him and directly talked to Taehyung.

"Uncle, you are too complimentary." Taehyung put down his chopsticks and greeted Minho with a small bow and a smile. "Uncle looks younger now."

"Oh," Minho waved his hand, poured himself a cup of wine and drained it. "Do not mention it."

Seeing his grimace, Taehyung took the wine pot and poured a full cup for Minho. He listened dryly to Minho speak of some seeming complaints that were not very important at all.

Supposedly, after the miss of Jung Family's Second Branch died in an accident, the second mistress Song Yuri had been in bad spirits. The Choi family members had gone to the Jung Family several times to comfort her, but the results had not been good.

These complaints then moved to mention the empress dowager and the Holy One in the palace. Taehyung knew what Minho wanted and only smiled without speaking.

"In another two years, His Majesty will be holding his marriage. I wonder which family's miss will have the fate." Minho said regretfully, "Pity about my niece. Beautiful, talented, but the heavens were jealous of her..."

Minho's tone immediately fell dispiritedly, as though the passing away of the Jung second miss had given him a great blow. But based on what he knew, the Choi Family had an astoundingly beautiful miss famed in Jing that not even the Jung misses could rival.

"Uncle, my condolences." Taehyung tried to make his expression seem sad. "Today is the good day for Third Uncle Jung's family—you should be happy." After saying this, he saw that Minho's expression was slightly odd but it quickly calmed.

"You are correct, today is a good day." Minho looked up to glance at Third Master Jung who was welcoming his guests and forced a smile.

Minho was silent for a while and then seemed to mention casually, "Virtuous Nephew is a dragon guard of the Holy One. You must understand the Holy One's preferences well."

Taehyung's eyebrows rose slightly. His tone was slightly helpless. "Although His Majesty is young, he is a rare wise ruler. Other than working to study and governing, I did not see him have any special interests. Even the empress dowager worries that His Majesty works too hard and frequently urges him to rest."

Minho felt his teeth ache. The young emperor really had such a personality?

Then what flavour was there in the days?

After not being able to get anything out of Taehyung, Minho settled down. But after the banquet ended, he found Taehyung and spoke of meeting to drink again.

Ever since he became part of the dragon guard, people frequently tried to learn about the emperor's matter from him. Taehyung was used to this. He had not lied. There was really no flaw to pick out of the young emperor. Other people could not see him have any special preferences. Even if people wanted to find out, there was no place to start.

But this understanding was torn down by the young emperor himself when Second Brother Kim went into the palace the next day.

"Taehyung, I heard there is a restaurant in Jing that is the best at the fish banquet?" After finishing his classes for the day, Jungkook looked at Taehyung who stood by the door and beckoned for him to enter. "Have you heard of this restaurant?"

He had not just heard of it, he had dined there.

Taehyung saw that Jungkook seemed interested in this restaurant and said hesitantly, "This subject has been to the restaurant. Their full fish banquet is interesting. Your Majesty, you are..."
