Even though Wang Tong'er blocked the main entrance of the palace and scolded him for a long time, the prince still perfectly maintained the image of a mature man. He has never said a single harsh word to the young girl since talking with Fan Xian. You must know that although the other party is the daughter of the Great Governor of Yanjing, the eldest prince is an out-and-out real prince. The difference in status completely allows him not to think too much, but he still tries to maintain a peaceful mind.
For example, after hearing Fan Xian's words, he didn't follow and scold the girl asshole, but just frowned and said, "Who knows what you're taking her as a student for?"
"I don't believe you won't be able to guess." Fan Xian said with a smile, "Of course I'm worried that the palace will have a little cheetah after it already has a tigress. If I can teach this lady of the Wang family to know the truth, Well behaved, what are you afraid of when you bring her in?"
Going around, Fan Xian was still persuading the eldest prince to accept the side concubine. The eldest prince said slightly angrily, "I don't know where your usual admirable eyes went, and you actually said that this yellow-haired girl is a good choice."
"What's wrong?" Fan Xian suppressed his smile and said seriously: "You don't need to remind me, you should know that your foundation is in the army. She is Wang Zhikun's daughter. Do not forget that although you have high prestige in the military, the Western Expedition Army has already been disbanded, and it is impossible for you to return to Dingzhou, and the position of commander of the Imperial Army has also been removed."
"This is the meaning of the father." The eldest prince's expression turned cold, and he said: "I didn't expect that your abacus is as loud as the father's drawing."
Fan Xian raised his brows, sat down straight away, and said, "Everyone can see clearly what your Majesty means - there must always be a woman in the palace, and always keep an eye on the position of the princess. If you don't want the princess to be deposed, then let Wang Tong It's better than others if you enter the mansion."
The eldest prince stared at him suspiciously, wondering why Fan Xian's intentions had changed so drastically, and he firmly believed that Wang Tong'er was the best choice. You must know that Wang Tong'er had a very deep background behind him, with the Yanjing faction of the military as the leader. With her backing, coupled with His Majesty's secret letting go, once this woman enters the mansion, she will definitely threaten the status of the princess immediately.
"The reason why I say Wang Tong'er is a good choice is because this girl really likes you." Fan Xian said, "Although this lady has a bit of a vicious personality, she is a slasher and killer." Girl of the route, such a person seems troublesome, but it is actually easier to deal with... You don't want Xinna's side concubine in the palace to be like the eldest princess who looks weak on the surface, but is actually extremely powerful in the shadows."
The eldest prince thought about it, and found that this was indeed the case. Wang Tong'er, who dared to come to the palace to make trouble before the palace's order was issued, was indeed not a woman who took the glamorous route. But he thought and thought, still frowning and said: "But she is just a fifteen-year-old yellow-haired girl, she is not sensible at all, what if she makes trouble with a kitchen knife every day after entering the palace?"
"Your Majesty's intention, we can't resist it openly." Fan Xian looked into his eyes and persuaded softly, "But we can try to deal with it differently. As for whether Wang Tong'er will make trouble in the future, it depends on my teacher. How, and how the two of you dealt with it."
He took a sip of tea, and suddenly felt that his heart was getting harder and harder. After laughing at himself, he said, "It's still the same old saying, Wang Tong'er likes you, so as long as she can enter the palace, she will regard you as her heaven. Whether she is satisfied or not mainly depends on what her wish is. If it is a young lady from another family, she may not be satisfied if she is not a princess, but I think Wang Tong'er will probably be satisfied if she marries you."
The eldest prince glanced at him noncommittally, and said lightly: "Why do you judge a daughter's family's thoughts like this? You really accepted her into the mansion, and once the house is disturbed, you come to end it?"
"I'll come if I come." Fan Xian shrugged and said, "There is no other man in this world who understands my daughter's thoughts better than me. You have to have confidence in me."
The eldest prince was taken aback, thinking that Fan Xian's words were not to be taken seriously. Just looking at the book of stones, he has fascinated many little girls, and looking at his glorious achievements in this life, he not only fascinated his beloved sister Chen He was so determined that even the saintesses of Beiqi Tianyi were lost in their wits, so he knew that his judgment must be justified.
"I just don't understand why Ms. Wang must keep staring at me. You must know that we only met once at Shi Fei's banquet that day." The eldest prince stared at Fan Xian and said, "I like it after only seeing each other. It’s a monster like you, it’s somewhat possible.”
"Women and men are two kinds of creatures." Fan Xian patted him on the shoulder pityingly, and said, "If you can't figure it out, you man, don't think about it."
The eldest prince spat angrily, and immediately thought of a question: "You, a busy official like you, accepted Wang Tong'er as a female student, of course it's not just because of me."
Fan Xian laughed awkwardly, and said, "You understand everything, why are you asking? You know that I am different from you. I have nothing but black cavalry at hand, so I have a better relationship with the military boss. , it’s not wrong at all, I don’t want another old Qin family who hates me to the bone to appear in the future.”
After being stunned for a moment, the eldest prince sighed and said: "The girls of Ye Chong's family have always listened to you, but now you don't even let Wang Zhikun's daughter off, really..."
"That sounds awkward." Fan Xian rubbed his nose and cursed with a smile, "I'm not a beast. These two are your brother's roommates, so you can't talk nonsense."
"But they are all your female students." The eldest prince said with a deep smile: "Plus Hongcheng is in Dingzhou, although the emperor has always strictly prohibited you from participating in the military, but after all the calculations, you will be killed immediately." If you want to get involved with the three-way army, your calculations are no worse than that of your father."
"You underestimate me. Although the guy in the preface Bingyun once said, I seem to be conquering the world by conquering women in my life... But with the strength of the Ye family and the two frontier armies, I will not be so stupid as to intend to use two The female students just want to influence something." Fan Xian laughed, "But I would certainly like to have a better relationship with the military."
When he said these words, Fan Xian's mood was actually a bit complicated. It has been five years since he came to Kyoto and entered the extremely complicated officialdom in Kyoto. All fell into the void. Although His Majesty seems to have become much less wary of him and let Li Hongcheng, whom he had a good relationship with, be appointed as the General of Dingzhou, but if Fan Xian really wanted to push his power into the military, it would still be extremely difficult. .
For example, with the help of Xu Maocai in the Jiaozhou Navy, Fan Xian had gradually arranged for his cronies to enter, preparing to secretly take over the strength of the Jiaozhou Navy after the rebellion of the old Qin family, but he never thought that His Majesty would not let go Xu Maocai was directly knocked out of the mortal world—although His Majesty the Emperor mercifully spared Xu Maocai's life for Fan Xian's sake, the entire Jiaozhou navy was getting farther and farther away from Fan Xian's palm.
Moreover, Fan Xian has been staying with Hou Jichang in Jiaozhou. Because of this matter, he has done two years of useless work and wasted a lot of time. On the official road, it has become more and more difficult to move forward. Not only is it far behind Yang Wanli. The reputation in the Ministry of Industry is even worse than that of Cheng Jialin, who has already served as the magistrate of Suzhou.
Hou Jichang was the one Fan Xian admired the most among the four sons of the Fan family, so he entrusted Jiaozhou to him. He didn't expect that Fan Xian made a wrong move, but it caused this talented man from Kyoto who was as famous as He Zongwei back then. Today, it is still only in the remote Jiaozhou that the official voice can be boiled.
His Majesty the Emperor now trusts Fan Xian's favor beyond measure, but he still prevents him from entering the military. This fact makes Fan Xian feel a little thumping in his heart. Because of the Chun incident before, he often had nightmares, and Xu Maocai was an old man in the Quanzhou Navy back then, so he was still wary of Fan Xian, his son.
"You need a good relationship with the military, I don't have that."
The Eldest Prince's words pulled Fan Xian out of his contemplation. He smiled reluctantly and said, "But you need to maintain a good relationship with His Majesty. As for me, as long as Your Majesty does not obstruct, I am not the only one who wants to fight well with the military." It doesn't matter, Wang Zhikun and other military veterans also want to make friends with me, I take his daughter as a student, I'm afraid he will wake up smiling in the middle of the night."
The eldest prince raised his brows, knowing that Fan Xian was telling the truth. In terms of pure power and status in the current Qing Kingdom, no one is more beautiful than Fan Xian. In addition, everyone knows that he is the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the same year. The flesh and blood of the mistress of the Ye family, including this relationship, all the ministers and generals will subconsciously curry favor with him.
After the two of them finished speaking, they fell silent at the same time. The Eldest Prince thought helplessly that it seemed that the matter of accepting the side concubine was difficult to solve, but Fan Xian was thinking that the emperor in the palace had deepest feelings for him. Suspicion, when will it be eliminated
"Tell me about the things in the west." The eldest prince suddenly frowned and said seriously: "What's the matter with the barbarians? There must be a reason for the great increase in strength in the past two years."
"You'll know when the mansion report is released in two days." Fan Xian already knew that the First Prince would not be able to resist asking this question. The First Prince has fought in the west for many years, and he is very familiar with that grassland. The sound was so loud, if His Majesty hadn't been worried that the eldest son's achievements would not be able to be sealed again, he would not have been transferred back three years ago. Although the eldest prince has long since returned to Beijing, his heart still floats on the grassland from time to time, so it is of course very important to the situation there.
Seeing that he refused to answer, the eldest prince shook his head helplessly, and said: "Hongcheng has become more and more active in the past two years, but the barbarians are fierce and bloodthirsty, you should remind me more."
After Fan Xian nodded, he suddenly frowned and asked earnestly, "I, the Qing Kingdom, have fought against the Xihu for decades, and every time it seems that I have a big advantage, and the problem can be solved completely by seeing it, why do the Hu people fight every time?" The power of the people is always like weeds after the spring breeze, and it grows again?"
The eldest prince has a great say on this issue, and said: "That's because the grassland is too big. From the southern edge of the Tianmai to the west, the endless grassland has no boundaries at all. Once I Daqing has the absolute advantage, they will Flee to the west, where can we solve it completely."
"But this time I found that the Western Hu Royal Court is not particularly far from Dingzhou City." Fan Xian asked puzzled.
The eldest prince glanced at him slightly mockingly, and said: "The king's court of the Hu people is not the capital, nor is it Shangjing. Dare to move the royal court not far from the border."
"Not to mention that I fought against the barbarians in the west in those years, but more than twenty years ago, my father led an army of the whole country to the grasslands, intending to wipe out the barbarians in one fell swoop, but it was a pity that the success fell short in the end." The eldest prince He said with some regret: "With the power of the whole country, the master Wang personally attacked, and with the military talent of my father, I still can't conquer the Hu people in one fell swoop, let alone us."
When Fan Xian heard that over twenty years ago, when Emperor Qing led the king's division to march in person, his face became serious, and he didn't answer, because he remembered clearly that his father, Mr. Fan Jian, also accompanied him during the Western Expedition. In the camp, and during that period of time, a shocking change occurred in Kyoto. This change ended the life of a woman and gave him a second life. Sitting in the arms of the blind uncle, The carriage went to Danzhou.
The eldest prince didn't notice Fan Xian's strange expression, and said slowly, "At that time, the old Shanyu was mourning at the beginning, and the barbarian civil strife was my best chance to celebrate. It's really a pity... and the most puzzling thing is At that time, Ye Shuai was ordered to hand over the defense of the capital, and he personally served as the vanguard of the army. The elite cavalry had already affixed to the Xihu royal court. As long as the camp where the father was staying lasted for another three days, he would be able to wipe out the princes and nobles of the Xihu. At this time, the army suddenly stopped marching westward and retreated back to the border, which gave the Xihu people a sigh of relief."
After being silent for a while, Fan Xian raised his face and said with a smile to the First Prince, "The reason for the withdrawal of the army is very simple. His Majesty must have known the news of the death of my lord mother at that time."
The First Prince's heart trembled, and only then did he think of the important event that had been sealed away for many years. Seeing Fan Xianqiang's self-smiling face, the First Prince felt great pity in his heart, and stopped continuing this topic.
After a long while, the First Prince coughed, changed the topic back to the beginning, and said, "Is it true that Concubine Na can't stop it?"
"No one dared to resist the order, and all those who dared to confront His Majesty did not end well."
"Wang Tong'er is really a good choice?"
"At least right now I don't see a better option."
"Then... how can I tell the princess?"
Fan Xian laughed, and said, "You don't need to think about this issue. The princess naturally has a way to deal with a little girl."
Just as he was saying this, someone from the outside reported that Wang Hao and Miss Wang had come. The eldest prince and Fan Xian looked at each other, and both smiled wryly. After the two women entered, Fan Xian stood up and saluted. He observed the expressions on the faces of the two of them imperceptibly, and nodded secretly in his heart.
The concubine was still calm and graceful as usual, but Wang Tong'er's face was reddish and shy, not like before. It seemed that after Fan Xian drove her to the concubine's side, this young lady of the Wang family got some kind of promise.
Fan Xian sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that the princess was really powerful, she had already made up her mind before the two men made a decision, and in order to protect her own interests, she was forced to make a seemingly compromised choice .
It seems that there is no need for the prince to persuade the concubine embarrassingly for a while, but the concubine persuades the prince to put the overall situation first and not to go against the meaning of the royal father in the palace. Fan Xian smiled, looked at the princess with squinted eyes, and said a few gossiping words, the princess also smiled, the two of them knew exactly what the other was thinking.
During the rebellion in Kyoto, the little emperor of Northern Qi wanted the eldest prince to take over the throne, so he secretly revealed Fan Xian's whereabouts to the eldest princess through the Jinyiwei spy who was sent beside the princess, and almost killed Fan Xian. But Fan Xian knew that this matter had nothing to do with the princess. For the sake of the relationship between the eldest prince and his wife, he never told the eldest prince about this matter, but he and the princess still had some knots in their hearts, so in the past two years, There is no deep connection.
The concubine has always felt guilty towards Fan Xian. Until today, the two looked at each other like a fox and smiled, turning the past into a spring breeze without a trace.
After a few gossips, Fan Xian got up and said goodbye. He brought Miss Wang into the palace, and of course he had to take her out. Chi blinked at the eldest prince, it would be too ugly to spread the word.
The concubine pretended to stay away from the meal, but there was a clear light in her eyes. Wang Tong'er was foolish and really didn't want to leave, begging and looking at Fan Xian.
"Go." Fan Xian said.
"Master, where are you going?" Wang Tong'er raised his head, looked at him in surprise, and said naturally.
Wang Tong'er's eyes were full of anger, and he refused to speak.
Fan Xian immediately turned his face down. Wang Tong'er didn't know why, but she was terribly afraid of Mrs. Fan by nature, so she stood up subconsciously, gritted her teeth, and followed Fan Xian out of the mansion.
Walking on the road, Fan Xian had already seen the light in Wang Hao's eyes. Looking at Wang Tong'er beside him, he couldn't help shaking his head. Although this young lady of the Wang family is extremely savage, if she really entered the palace, how could she be the princess? I am afraid that there will not be many good days to live in the future. Fortunately, Wang Tong'er's background is strong enough, so he will not have a miserable life, and the prince is not that kind of person.
The two arrived at the main entrance of the palace in a short while, and they didn't know what spell Fan Xian had used, and what kind of words he had said to this unruly woman, Wang Tong'er seemed to be a different person, honest and fearful. He timidly followed behind him, no longer the appearance of stepping on the stone lion and yelling at him.
The main gate of the palace opened, and the butler sent it out, and then hurriedly closed the gate as if hiding from a ghost. Fan Xian was stunned and then cursed with a smile, thinking that he had become a pond fish, but in the blink of an eye he saw Wang Tong'er's face was full of anger, and was about to yell at the housekeeper, so he lowered his face and hummed.
Immediately, Wang Tong'er felt the coldness beside him, shivered, shut his mouth quickly, walked down the steps obediently, and said something to the old housekeeper with whip marks on his face unusually unaccustomed.
The old butler was terrified, thinking when did his young lady change her temper? The generals of the Wang family historians next to him were also frightened, thinking that Mr. Fan was rumored to be a student of Mr. Fei Jie, maybe he gave the young lady some medicine to make the young lady look like this.
Wang Tong'er was like a little white rabbit right now.
Everyone at the gate of the palace looked at Fan Xian as if they were gods, and thought that Mr. Fan really deserved his reputation. No wonder His Majesty asked him to pretend to be the Grand Tutor a few years ago and teach the Third Prince. This kind of teaching and educating people is really magical.
The housekeepers of the Wang family saluted Fan Xian with gratitude, and then took their young lady out of the main gate of the palace. Fan Xian watched the passerby disappear on the street, shook his head, and boarded his carriage. .
Although Mu Feng'er is now the leader of the Qi Nian group, she is still the young man who did good things back then, swallowing her saliva, and asked Xiaoyi: "My lord, what happened? How did that mother... That's it?"
"It's very simple." Fan Xian sat in the carriage, closed his eyes and rested his mind, "If she is disobedient, I will spank her, and I will let the prince marry another woman. I am the official minister of Taichang Temple, how could she not believe it? ?”
"So stupid?" Mu Feng'er said contemptuously. Everyone knows that it is about His Royal Highness's acceptance of concubines. It is a matter that the Zhengqing of Taichang Temple can have the final say on. This matter must be nodded by His Majesty the Emperor.
"If you're not stupid, why would the concubine let her in?" Fan Xian muttered with his eyes closed, feeling very tired. He wouldn't want to touch this kind of crap even if he killed him. If it wasn't for being friendly with the eldest prince Well, he should have gone to the palace to pay an errand at this time, and then went back to his house to tease his children.
————————
Half an hour passed, and there was still no movement in the imperial study. The eunuchs stood helplessly outside the room. Eunuch Yao glanced at the goat milk and snacks that the person beside him was carrying, and found that the things were getting cold, so he couldn't help frowning.
The little eunuch looked at the door of the imperial study room, wondering who His Majesty was talking to for so long. Eunuch Yao also glanced at the door, thinking that he had better not bother the father and son talking.
Except for the new eunuch, the others were not surprised by the current situation. His Majesty has a lot to do every day, and rarely summons his courtiers alone for more than a quarter of an hour, but Mr. Fan is an exception.
In the past two years, whenever Mr. Fan entered the palace, His Majesty the Emperor would always chat with him for more than half an hour in the imperial study. Fan Xian was arguing over the names of the two children of the Fan family.
Fan Xian is the only one who has this honor and this favor in the whole world.
The situation in the imperial study was different from what the eunuchs thought. His Majesty the Emperor Qing looked at Fan Xian who was sitting next to him, and asked, "I have made up my mind, Wang Tong'er will always enter the palace, so don't mind meddling with these matters... When it comes to marriage, Yan Bingyun You have already married that woman, when are you going to explain to me about China Merchants Bank?"
Fan Xian's eyes changed slightly, and he quickly lowered his head to cover it up.
