The snow in Kyoto stopped and fell again. It was not like the free and easy snow in the capital city of Northern Qi Dynasty, and it was not like Danzhou where there was no rain or snow to worry about. Instead, it was as lingering and annoying as the spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River. Fan Xian stretched out his hand a little annoyed. Brushing off the snow particles from her hair, she looked at the eldest prince at the gate of the palace and said, "Why are you so nervous about having a meal?"
In fact, the First Prince was right. If the signature on the post did not include the name of the Great Princess of Northern Qi, Fan Xian would not say whether he would slip away early, even if he would come or not, it was not certain.
Fan Xian thought with some pain: Why did you call me, a descendant of the Fan family who returned to the clan, to your royal family gathering? He really didn't want to come. First, he didn't want to see the second prince and his wife when the situation was unknown. Second, he was thinking about those sinister things. If the prince, whom he was shady, continued to talk to him gently, what should he do? what to do
There was no room for him to speak, his wife had already stood in front of the eldest prince with a smile on her face, said a few words with a smile on her face, and then the two walked side by side to the prince's mansion.
Fan Xian looked at the scene of deep brother-sister love, and thought that this brother was not a cousin, and felt a little sour in his heart, how could there be any possibility of not entering the mansion
Fan Xian didn't come to the Prince's Mansion very often, and when he entered the mansion, someone would naturally wait for him and sit down. Fan Xian looked around and saw no one else, so he felt relieved.
Over there, Wan'er was chatting enthusiastically about something with her eldest brother whom she hadn't seen for a long time. Fan Xian was sitting alone in the hall, bored, and didn't bother to intervene. He half-closed his eyes and rested, but the words beside him were always talking to him. At one moment, it was Wan'er teasing the eldest prince's appearance after marriage, at another moment, it was the eldest prince asking whether Wan'er was still used to living in Jiangnan, whether Fan Xian bullied him, and how is the scenery in Jiangnan? What kind of Yamen is the Hangzhou Club
After Wan'er explained clearly to the eldest prince that the Hangzhou Society had nothing to do with the yamen, Fan Xian couldn't help yawning, feeling bored, thinking that this pair of brothers and sisters were also important figures in the royal family. How can the general who once led the army to kill people talk like the three aunts and six wives of Mrs. Fuji's daughter-in-law
Just as he was slandering himself, he suddenly felt a breeze blowing behind him. He opened his eyes vigilantly, turned around, and saw a beautiful young woman in gorgeous clothes coming in through the curtain.
Fan Xian was slightly taken aback, stared at a bead flower on the woman's temple, laughed, and said, "I've seen the princess."
The person who came was the Great Princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the present Princess Heqin, this foreign nobleman married into Nanqing back then, and Fan Xian was the envoy on the road, the two of them traveled thousands of miles all the way, so they were naturally a little more familiar than others.
It's just that since the eldest prince married her, it was naturally inconvenient for Fan Xian and her to keep in touch. Even some secret promises between each other basically had no room for practice. Fan Xian didn't know what to say.
Seeing the princess coming out, Lin Wan'er quickly stood up and saluted, but the princess forced her to call sister-in-law according to the folk rules.
The princess has a dignified appearance, especially the grandeur in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, which makes people look amiable and lovable, but at this moment, the pair of tranquil eyes stared at Fan Xian again, showing a strange look: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Little Grandpa, I don’t know how the little Grandpa is doing recently?”
Fan Xian was facing her, and he had already seen the sternness and anger in the woman's soft eyes, plus the two words of "little father-in-law" in succession, of course he knew that the other party was angry, but he knew Of course, the princess's resentment has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, nor does she really blame herself for seeing and communicating less after sending her relatives back to China.
He subconsciously glanced at the face of the eldest prince, and found that he was still able to force himself to be calm, so he could only hide his embarrassment and said with a smile: "What the eldest princess said... it's better to call me Fan Xian as usual, or... call me brother-in-law ?”
Although the joke was not funny, Fan Xian was very particular about addressing the other party. He still respectfully called the other party the princess. Hearing this claim will definitely make you feel better.
Although the eldest princess of Northern Qi married the eldest prince of Nanqing, she didn't humiliate her identity, but after all, she married a foreign country, and the background of the marriage was that the war between the two countries ended with the victory of Nanqing, so this marriage is very important to the people of Northern Qi. Especially for the eldest princess herself, she seemed a bit disgraceful.
What's more, what does it mean that the eldest prince conferred the title of Prince and Prince, and relatives and relatives? Fan Xian couldn't help laughing every time he thought of the eldest prince's title, thinking that the emperor was indeed a very vengeful guy, and the eldest princess would probably hate the name of the prince and concubine to death.
Sure enough, the princess was stunned when she heard the words "eldest princess". She has lived in Nanqing for nearly two years, married a good man, and lived a good life, but... After all, she is in a foreign land. People call themselves by their full titles, but perhaps no one has called her a princess for a long time.
Wang Hao's eyes suddenly softened, she smiled slightly at Fan Xian, and temporarily gave up the idea of making trouble for him.
Both Lin Wan'er and the First Prince were smart people. Of course, they heard that in the previous two sentences, Fan Xian and the princess had made some kind of probing.
The four sat down and chatted for a few words, Fan Xian couldn't help but turned his head to look in the direction of the gate, shook his head and said, "I said I came early today, and Wan'er insisted on urging me."
"Everyone is here, I'll just wait for you." The eldest prince glanced at him and said, "You are a new lord, you have a lot of face, let the two lords wait for you."
Fan Xian was slightly taken aback.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not come today." The eldest prince explained, saying that Chengqian had already sent a great gift, while the second prince, second imperial concubine, and brother and sister Hongcheng had already sat in the back garden.
The crown prince's absence made Fan Xian feel a lot more relaxed. He also knew that this was a normal thing. The crown prince's status was different, but he was the crown prince of the country. Above the prince, he must be invited to the royal family gathering, but it is not convenient for him to come.
Wan'er was surprised and said, "Second Brother and the others are already here, so why are we still sitting here?"
This was not a stupid question, but a deliberate attempt to weaken the adverse effect that the First Prince would have on the atmosphere in the hall when he said that. The eldest prince listened to Wan'er's words, and said with a smile: "Let's go there now."
Then he glanced at Fan Xian.
Fan Xian gave a wry smile, thinking that it's all here, are you still afraid that I'll make a scene in the palace and beat up the Second Highness? While thinking, he got up and took Wan'er to the back garden.
The first prince and his wife shook their heads at the same time, thinking that Fan Xian really didn't have the consciousness of being a guest, so they also followed to the back garden, but when they left the hall, the princess thought of Fan Xian's private affairs with her prince, and she couldn't bear it. He couldn't help frowning, the eldest prince beside him sighed, his heart trembled.
…
…
This palace was built by imperial edict the year before last. It was mainly used for the marriage between the two countries. In order to reflect the face of the Qing Dynasty, the palace was built without frugality. It was extravagant and occupied an extremely large area. The group of people walked into the garden for a long time , only to look at a flower hall facing the lake from a distance, and faint voices could be heard from inside.
The lake is not big, and the weather today is slightly better than yesterday. The thin ice flakes on the surface of the water are broken, but there is no way to swing them away. They rise and fall with the lake water, reflecting the faint gray light in the clouds in the sky, which looks like countless icebergs. Like a gem.
And the flower hall is also extraordinarily exquisite, the black wooden panes on three sides facing the lake are well sealed, and there are cotton curtains hanging inside to keep out the wind. It is inlaid with the finest glass produced in the inner library.
Such a design can not only prevent the cold wind on the lake from disturbing the interest of the young nobles, but also allow you to enjoy the beautiful scenery in winter through the window, which is quite thoughtful.
Fan Xian looked at it and laughed, "I like this place."
"If you like it, come here more, and you're not an outsider." The eldest prince looked at the front, wondering if the word "outsider" had a deeper meaning, and said, "This mansion was more grand at first, but I didn't like it, but fortunately The concubine has an ingenious mind and has modified a lot, it is no longer the original appearance, if you really like it, you have to pay homage to her."
Fan Xian looked back at the princess, smiled and said nothing.
The eldest prince said with a little pride: "Other people say that I am afraid of internal affairs, no matter what, anyway, I have to get her what she likes, and they say that this circle of glass along the flower hall cost me a lot of money." …”
The concubine liked it in her heart when she heard this, and felt a little embarrassed in front of Fan Xian and his wife, so she quietly gouged him out.
The eldest prince changed the subject with a chuckle: "Speaking of this glass, it is really expensive. Speaking of which, you are now the head of the internal treasury. If you want to change the glass in the future, you have to sell me for a cheaper price."
Fan Xian begged for mercy: "I said Your Highness, please forgive me, a dignified general king, who still puts this little glass in his eyes? Don't talk about cheap, what do you want in the inner treasury in the future? , write a letter, and I will arrange it for you."
On the contrary, the eldest prince was displeased, shook his head and said: "The internal treasury is important, you will spend all the money you earn for the court on the river worker's side, so you dare not take advantage of it here."
Knowing that His Royal Highness is such a loyal person, Fan Xian was not surprised, and said with a smile, "It's just that you use glass to curry favor with the princess, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money in the future."
The eldest prince asked differently: "How should I say it? Could it be that there is still less glass in my yard?"
The princess covered her mouth with a smile and did not speak.
Fan Xian laughed and said, "The eldest princess grew up in the Northern Qi Palace since she was a child... You haven't visited the palace before, the roof of the main hall is all made of glass, the skylight can penetrate in, and reflect on the bluestone jade platform and the side of the platform. clear water white fish."
The eldest prince was taken aback, and sighed: "In the past, I just heard about it, and I thought it would be impossible to exaggerate like this. The princess has never talked to me... Could it be true?" The imperial family of the Northern Qi Dynasty was so extravagant, no wonder the national power was getting weaker and weaker, but it was not convenient to say this in front of his wife, so he had to swallow it.
Fan Xian said that before, and he was also caught in the memories of his trip to the Northern Qi Dynasty. He was very willing to appreciate the magnificence or the extremely beautiful things, so he had always had a very good impression of Shangjing... Of course, the people in that city The girl was not bad either, and a strange smile began to appear on the corners of her lips involuntarily.
At this time, the princess also began to miss the scenery of her homeland.
Seeing the smile on Fan Xian's lips, Lin Wan'er couldn't help pursing her lips and snorting.
So they entered the flower hall with their own minds, two men and one woman had already greeted them in the hall, it was the second prince and brother and sister Hongcheng.
Princess Roujia called sister Wan'er affectionately, Wan'er called second elder brother affectionately, Hongcheng called Anzhi affectionately, and the few of them chatted about the lake view and the tribute fruits sent from the south. He was very at ease, as if those things hadn't happened in Kyoto in the past few years, as if Fan Xian and the second prince were really two brothers who couldn't get closer.
This is a natural ability of the children of the royal family, right
While Fan Xian sighed in his heart, while listening to everyone's words, he knew the real purpose of the first prince's banquet today, and he was also worried that Hongcheng would set foot on the second prince's boat again... just pretending to be real like this Although he is also very good at face conversation, he is still not as adaptable as everyone who lived in the royal family since childhood.
He begged for forgiveness, and fled away.
…
…
It was at the corner of a small courtyard not far from the flower hall. Fan Xian, who was brought here by his servants, looked startled. He looked at the girl who came out of it, the girl whose eyes were as bright as jade and without a trace of impurities Home.
Fan Xian waved the servant away, looked at Ye Ling'er, who was full of astonishment, with her hands still on Qunru's waist, and said in a funny and angry way, "Miss, don't pay attention to your appearance, I don't know if you have tidied up in the room." Come out again? Let the servants see what it looks like."
Ye Ling'er covered her mouth with a smile, and said, "That's what I look like, master..."
As soon as the words came out, the two of them froze at the same time and fell into silence. It was only then that they remembered that after seeing each other for a year, Ye Linger had already married and was a princess. She was no longer the one who pestered Fan Xian to fight. The naughty little girl, and Fan Xian... can he still be her master
