Fan Xian stared blankly at Guangxin Palace and at the pillars under the palace, wondering if the holes above the pillars had been filled with lime.
The first time he visited the imperial palace at night, he was stabbed behind the pillar of the palace by the palace maid.
The tip of the sword pierced through the thick wooden pillar, almost piercing his waist.
To this day, Fan Xian still seems to be able to feel the killing intent on the sword, even though the court lady was killed by him on the spot. And that night, he overheard the collusion between the eldest princess and the Northern Qi royal family, the truth about Yan Bingyun's betrayal, and blocked Yan Xiaoyi's arrow that seemed to be shot from the sky!
The snow stopped today, and the palace was blowing a cold wind, but it was colder than the previous few days. Fan Xian shuddered, shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, left here with Eunuch Yao, and went to the East Palace where the Empress Prince was. go.
Although the eldest princess is his mother-in-law, he will meet after all, but it is better to keep some distance from that charming and ruthless woman, so that the meeting can be delayed day by day.
Over the years, under the secret arrangement of the emperor, and with the cooperation of Chen Pingping and other parties, Fan Xian gradually accepted the influence of the eldest princess. It's just that the power of the princess is not as good as before, but Fan Xian is still wary, not only because she is Wan'er's mother, but also because of the strange feeling in his heart.
I heard a song by Miss He in my previous life, and I gave him something... Fan Xian felt the same way, the eldest princess gave him the inner library, the daughter, the mistress, and the Cui family. After leaving him, the Ming family will also give it to him. It looks like there are still many things to be handed over to him. If she were the eldest princess, she would probably bite her lip and keep silent, and burn this bad son-in-law to death with fire in her eyes. (Thanks to a book friend, I forgot your ID, sorry.)
There is also the Junshan Society, and those restless people in the military. Although the eldest princess is not a fire-breathing dinosaur, on the contrary, she is quite attractive. Fan Xian is still a little afraid, afraid of the madness and charm of her gentleness.
It felt very awkward to stay with such a mother-in-law who was in her thirties and known as the most beautiful woman in the world, so Fan Xian only met her greatest enemy once from the beginning to the end.
This is interesting in itself.
…
…
Eunuch Yao glanced at the silent Fan Xian and followed behind without saying anything. Not long after, I arrived at the East Palace. Unfortunately, the queen happened to be chatting with the eldest princess in Guangxin Palace at this time, and only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was studying under the guidance of the Taifu.
Seeing Fan Xian entered the palace, the prince greeted him with a smile and said, "How is the injury? I wanted to visit you at the mansion, but I thought it might disturb your rest, so I gave up the idea."
Fan Xian paid his respects with all his efforts, and then he straightened his body and smiled, "My body is already strong, and it will take two days for me to take care of it. Today, I will be ordered to enter the palace, and I will come to see His Highness the Crown Prince, so as not to worry you."
"When will sister Chen come back?"
"Tomorrow."
The prince smiled and said, "You have to hurry up and play while she's not here."
The two sat down with a smile, and briefly talked about the scenery and beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, but they didn't talk about unpleasant things in a word. In fact, going back a few years, the crown prince was really good to Fan Xian. Although he listened to Xin Qiwu's suggestion and showed his favor to Fan Xian out of the intention of wooing him, when Fan Xian first entered Beijing, the two People get along really well.
It's just that no one thought that things would develop into such a weird appearance later.
Fan Xian is actually a prince too!
And there are problems left over from history that have not been resolved.
So naturally, Fan Xian picked it out, and the crown prince became the person on the other side. Both sides knew that because of the problem left over from history, it was impossible for the two sides to join hands again. In the novel, Fan Xian mainly focused on the second prince's faction, and did not launch an all-round attack on the prince's faction, so on the surface, the two of them could still maintain a happy and harmonious feeling at this time.
Even if the two of them have torn their faces, they still have to enjoy themselves in the palace.
Eunuch Yao watched this scene indifferently, admiring the royal family's children in their hearts.
After the gentle conversation ended, Fan Xian got up to say goodbye, leaned into the Prince's ear and whispered, "Your Highness, you can come tonight."
The prince smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I have never been to your building..."
The genuine prince who has become increasingly marginalized sighed: "You also know that in the past few years, I have cultivated my body and cultivated my character, and I seldom go out to play outside the palace... let's talk about Baoyuelou, which is famous outside, first it was the second brother, and then it was you." , There are ways, I have nothing to do."
Fan Xian didn't know if there was any hidden meaning in these words, but he didn't bother to guess, so he laughed twice, saluted respectfully, and then exited the East Palace.
Outside the palace, it was not unexpected to see an acquaintance.
That eunuch with pimples all over his face is now Hong Zhu, the leader of the East Palace eunuchs.
Hong Zhu hurriedly turned to one side to greet him.
Fan Xian's expression was very indifferent, he hummed, and walked forward, but there was some strange feeling in his heart. Looking at Hong Zhu's expression, he seemed to have something to say to himself. What is he afraid of.
It's just that in the palace, Fan Xian would not pay attention to Hong Zhu, and still pretended to look down on him. This chess piece buried in the palace cannot be used casually.
Next, I went to the Palace of Concubine Shu and Ningcai, and brought a list of books for the second prince’s biological mother, Concubine Shu, all of which were ancient books from Tianyi Pavilion in the south of the Yangtze River. Concubine Shu was obviously a little surprised. Xian was fighting to the death with his son, but he still served him so carelessly, which was a little touching.
But in Ning Cairen's Palace, Fan Xian was scolded by Hao Sheng.
This bold woman who was born in Dongyi City was the first time she saw Fan Xian after knowing his life experience. Looking at Fan Xian's eyebrows and eyes, Ning Cairen couldn't help but think of the time when she saved herself and the baby in her womb. The Miss Ye family... was angry that Fan Xian didn't take his life seriously, and Fan Xian nodded repeatedly.
After telling some stories from the past, Ning Cairen's eyes became soft and gentle. He looked at Fan Xian as if he were his own son, rubbed his head lightly, and told him to bring Princess Chen to the palace often in the future. look at yourself.
Fan Xian responded one by one, and when he was leaving the palace, he turned around occasionally, only to find that Ning Cai seemed to be wiping the moisture from the corners of his eyes, and his heart couldn't help getting wet, with an indescribable sadness.
These are people from back then, things from back then.
…
…
Busy and walking, Fan Xian also became a little bored. It was like entering the palace to meet the ladies for the first time before a big wedding. Walking in each palace, the things they said and did were similar, and the repeated repetitions were really annoying. It consumes each other's minds.
Fortunately, Shufang Palace, who came last, can relax a bit.
After driving eunuch Yao away, Fan Xian leaned back on the chair like a tired and paralyzed dog, squinting at the maid who was busy serving tea for him. Rules, Fan Xian couldn't help his heart skip a beat, and squeezed her white wrist when receiving tea.
The maid glared at Fan Xian.
Fan Xian laughed loudly and said, "Xing'er, the first time I saw you, you were only thirteen. Now that you've grown up, you've become more tempered."
Concubine Yigui, who was reclining on the couch, watched Fan Xian and the child messing around, and couldn't help but said, "Go out and make trouble by yourself, don't make trouble with me, the people in the palace."
Miss Xing'er was exactly the little girl who led Fan Xian around the palace to meet her. When the two masters said this, her face blushed immediately, and she ran into the back with small steps.
Fan Xian took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said seriously, "Auntie, I'm leaving the palace soon, so I won't talk to you any more."
"Going out of the palace?" Concubine Yigui was slightly startled, and immediately understood what was going on, and said with a trace of worry on her brows, "What do you want to do tonight?"
Fan Xian was also taken aback, and asked, "You know about this?"
Concubine Yigui covered her mouth with a smile and said: "Master Fan is holding a banquet tonight, and those big figures are invited again... This matter has been spread for a long time, the most sensational news in Beijing, although I live in the palace, But there’s no reason not to know.”
Fan Xian smiled wryly and said, "How could there be such a big commotion in just one day? It's just that I haven't returned to Beijing for more than a year, so it's inevitable that I invite you."
Concubine Yi Gui said solemnly: "Although there are some things I want to tell you, at least I have to thank you for your discipline this year on behalf of the child, but I know that your business at night is important, so you go first."
She paused, then said, "Did you invite Hongcheng?"
Fan Xian shook his head, said with a smile, "I'll take Wan'er to Prince Jing's mansion another day."
Concubine Yigui nodded.
Fan Xian smiled again and said, "You can't leave at this time. I'm here to pick up the third child. At this time, Master Liu is still teaching him homework. How can we go?"
Concubine Yigui was taken aback, and said worriedly: "Ping'er is going too?"
"Brothers get together, with me here, what are you worried about?" Fan Xian smiled gently, with indescribable confidence.
———————————
At the end of the new year, the heavy snow stopped suddenly, and I don’t know when it will return. It was cold in Kyoto, but in the buildings beside the street, there were red lights hanging high, red candles were brightly lit, and warm cages were spread everywhere, just like those precious bamboo charcoal. .
There are three layers of thick leather curtains hanging on the gate of Baoyue Building. Occasionally, a servant will pass by, and when the curtain is lifted, the heat in the building will rush out. Be warmer.
Pedestrians who did not pass by on the street, the servants of the Kyoto government and the soldiers of the Kyoto garrison stationed here rubbed their frozen hands, looked at the shining building, dared not say anything, but scolded their mother in their hearts. These people have to guard outside, but the nobles in that building can take a bath in the spring breeze.
Among the restaurants and brothels in the world, probably only Baoyuelou can be so luxurious. However, it was not like this in the past, but today is different.
Baoyue Building is not open today.
Even half of the street was sealed off by the Kyoto government and the guards of the capital. This was a notice that Baoyuelou had reported to the government in advance, and it was approved without any delay.
The adults in Kyoto Prefecture are not eligible to participate in this party, but he still has to work hard to arrange a guard. Not only him, but the rest of the officials in the capital also think the same way. No matter which faction they belong to, they must serve Baoyue Tower today.
Because today all the people who can be called masters in Kyoto will come to Baoyue Tower.
Secretary of Taixue, Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, Chief Envoy of Internal Treasury and Transport Envoy, Plenipotentiary Commissioner of Overwatch Council, Governor of Jiangnan, and Plenipotentiary Imperial Envoy—Fan Xian, Mr. Fan is treating you today!
Dazzling, with great power in his hands, Mr. Fan, whose official position is already longer than his family tree, treats guests. Who would dare not come? Who is embarrassed not to come? Although everyone knows that Mr. Fan is a lonely person who dares to offend courtiers and is willing to offend courtiers, but today's guests are the crown prince, three princes, two deputy envoys of the Privy Council, and several high-ranking officials. Big shots, even these people have to give Fan Xian face, let alone the rest.
Today's Baoyue Tower is crowded with crowns and roofs. If anyone has the ability to kill all the guests tonight, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty will be in chaos.
A few high-grade sedan chairs took advantage of the twilight to arrive in front of Baoyue Tower, and several important figures arrived by car, and then several powerful figures in the army arrived on horseback.
No one would bring too many relatives to hinder Fan Xian's eyes. The sons and grandsons of the dragons only brought two or three tiger guards. These ministers were also assured of their own safety, although the incident of sniping in the valley only happened recently. , but everyone knows that this Baoyue building is the property of the Fan family.
The First Prince has arrived, the Deputy Envoys of the Privy Council have arrived, Xin Qiwu has arrived, Ren Shaoan has arrived, Baoyue Building is fully operational today, the girls helped these big men to the wing room to rest, waiting for the banquet.
Fan Xian chatted with everyone and made some naughty jokes, then led the child beside him to the door, because he had heard the news of His Highness the Crown Prince's arrival.
Seeing the child honestly being led by Fan Xian, the two deputy envoys of the Privy Council and the other ministers at the table who were watching were shocked. The scene in front of them was enough to remind these big shots of many things.
In ancient times, there was a man who coerced the emperor to order the princes, and now there is Master Xiao Fan holding the hand of that child. Who knows whether the future Qing Dynasty, the future world, will be these two people
Fan Xian is leading the Third Prince.
…
…
It was cold outside the leather curtain of the gate, the third prince shuddered, looked sideways at the teacher who was two heads taller than him, a look of admiration flashed in his eyes, and immediately asked for advice: "Sir, you haven't recovered from your injury, why come out?" welcome?"
Fan Xian shook his head, and explained gently: "The one who came is His Royal Highness, the prince of the country. He has a different status, and he is your elder brother. No matter whether he is a subject or a brother, he should be respected."
A small sedan chair was protected by a dozen guards and arrived in front of Baoyue Tower. Fan Xian, with sharp eyes, saw several tiger guards with long knives on their backs, and waited indifferently. Today, the Baoyue Tower held a banquet. In order to prevent the court from being embarrassed by too much public discussion, all the guests withdrew their traditional ceremonial guards. Even the prince who arrived at this time can be regarded as easy going.
Fortunately, otherwise, the street would be blocked by big shots.
The sedan chair curtain was lifted, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, dressed in light yellow, got off the sedan chair with a smile on his face. When he looked up, he saw Fan Xian and the third child meeting him outside the building. The Crown Prince was in a good mood. With Fan Xian's current power, this kind of respect is exactly what the prince needs.
Fan Xian and the third prince saluted first, and the prince hurriedly helped him up. After a while, everyone in the building knew that the prince had arrived, and rushed out to meet him. Only the eldest prince seemed to be too happy to come out, but the prince knew that his brother was from the army, so he was I didn't care much about this kind of temperament.
A group of people gathered in front of the building, and were about to go in to have a talk, when another carriage slowly approached.
The prince turned his head curiously, wondering whose airs were bigger than him, who would arrive later than him
Everyone also looked over, and saw a thin middle-aged official getting off the carriage. This official was not wearing clothes to show his rank, but everyone recognized it immediately, and they were a little surprised and surprised. arrival.
The person who came was none other than Xue Qing, the governor of Jiangnan Road. Xue Qing was in charge of one of the seven roads in the world. Shuge used to be the teacher of the princes, so the status is more respected than the ministers in the dynasties.
Xue Qing looked at the crowd, smiled slightly, and saluted the prince first.
The crown prince didn't even dare to talk, with him as the leader, everyone hurriedly saluted Xue Qing.
Fan Xian said with a smile: "Master Xue returned to Beijing to report on his duties. The younger generation is abrupt. Thinking of working together in Jiangnan this year, he is quite favored by adults, so he dared to take the liberty of inviting you over."
Everyone groaned, and they all laughed and said Mr. Fan had a big face, and he even invited Governor Xue over, but he secretly slandered in his heart. Could it be that Fan Xian wanted to demonstrate to some forces because of the sniper killing in the valley today, so he even invited Xue Qing? also moved here.
No wonder these big shots think so, because today's Baoyuelou banquet is still a gathering of the younger generation. Old fellows like Dean Chen and Master Shu dare not disturb them. allow.
And people were thinking, why did Fan Xian invite so many people from different forces to gather in Baoyuelou
"It's just eating, drinking, and gossiping. Your lords are busy with official duties for a year, and it's almost the end of the year. You always have to take a break."
Fan Xian stood at the door of Baoyue Building and explained with a smile.
Then he saw a group of people approaching, and the leader was the second prince—the one who looked very similar to Fan Xian, his temperament and taste seemed to be carved out of the same mold, but he was born with Fan Xian in the capital, in the north, in the Jiangnan killed the second prince whose blood flowed like a river.
Of course, the temporary winner today is Fan Xian.
Fan Xian and the second prince looked at each other, there was a tacit understanding, regardless of priority, regardless of seniority, they cupped their hands at the same time, bent their waists slightly, and bowed to each other.
Then the corners of their lips curled up slightly, and a slightly shy smile appeared at the same time.
The two sighed in their hearts, this smile... It's been a long time.
