The swing was swinging higher and higher, suddenly Sisi seemed to see something in the sky, she hurriedly stopped pedaling, and let the swing slow down, before the swing stopped completely, she jumped off in a hurry, falling again and again. He didn't wear any shoes on the grass, so he ran towards Fan Xian.
The little maids who were supporting her were taken aback. Siqi was about to tease her, but seeing her expression, she shut up tactfully. Even the three masters here were puzzled, wondering why this girl is crazy? Why are you so panicked? With the power of the Fan family, what kind of visitors are you afraid of in the capital? Unless the eunuch led the imperial army to ransack the house.
"At the gate of the mansion... is Prince Jing's carriage!"
Panting, Sisi ran to Fan Xian's soft couch, and said while stroking her heaving chest. Fan Xian was startled, but immediately came to his senses, jumped up from the soft couch, and shouted, "Quickly retreat!" While running to the back of the garden, he did not forget to turn around and praise Sisi, "Girl, you are clever. "
Looking at this incomparably neat skill, how does it look like a patient who can't go to court? Wan'er and Ruoruo who were beside the soft couch looked at each other in doubt, and immediately came to their senses, their complexion changed slightly, they stood up quickly, ordered the servants to arrange the leaving of the house, and called everyone in Teng to go to the car.
For a while, the back garden of Fan Zhai, which was full of laughter and laughter before, immediately turned into a grain and horse farm before the war. Everyone was in a hurry, those who cleaned the soft couch cleaned the soft couch, avoided those who avoided it, and those who were the most anxious to find clothes for the masters. They were busy for a while, and finally packed everything in the shortest time, and brought Fan Xian to the back house. outside the back door. At this time, Fujiko Kyo also personally pulled the carriage to the door.
"He's still sick, so he has to hide somewhere." Wan'er put a somewhat thick windbreaker on Fan Xian, and complained, "Little uncle is really, I told you not to come and see."
Fan Xian never had time to answer her, he bravely got into the carriage like a guerrilla.
Lin Wan'er smiled mockingly, and turned to see her sister-in-law, who was also nervous, holding a small incense burner and following Fan Xian into the carriage. She couldn't help being surprised, and said, "Ruoruo, what are you hiding?"
The reason why Sisi saw the carriage of King Jing's family made Fan Xian want to flee, and Wan'er, as a wife, naturally understood the reason. Recently, the Fan family and the second prince's faction are fighting. Li Hongcheng has been splashed with dirty water by Fan Xian, and has been imprisoned in the palace by Prince Jing for the past few days. Prince Jing is here at this time, needless to say, one is to look for Fan. The Shangshu asked what was going on, the second was to talk to Fan Xian, and the third was to say a few good words for the crown prince, and to help both parties make peace along the way.
The emperor's own younger brother is here, and all these years, the Fan family's children have respected Prince Jing as an elder, and get along very well. If the other party makes peace, what can Fan Xian do? And it was impossible for Fan Xian to stop fighting with the Second Prince's faction at this time, let alone say a few more words, with the cunning in the old flower farmer's bones, how could he not guess that Fan Xian was planting Li Hongcheng. Fan Xian was terrified of this old man's swearing, and the other party's status and seniority could crush him to death, so what could he do? So, of course, I had no choice but to pat my ass and leave quickly. Thirty-six strategies, escape is the best strategy.
Listening to her sister-in-law's question, Fan Ruoruo, who had always had a calm expression, returned a wry smile in embarrassment, and said in embarrassment, "Sister-in-law, it's so embarrassing to meet at this time."
Wan'er was stunned when she heard this, and immediately thought that her family had bullied Li Hongcheng for several days, and the reputation of Prince Jing's mansion was badly stigmatized by her husband, so it was really inappropriate for Ruoruo to meet her future father-in-law at this time. She suddenly thought that both her husband and sister-in-law were hiding, so what if she stayed in the mansion by herself? How should I put it, the person who came was also my little uncle, and the little uncle's mouth... Wan'er shuddered, then took off her warm robe from Siqi's hand, and ducked into the carriage as soon as she lowered her head.
The two brothers and sisters in the carriage were stunned, and asked, "Why did you come in?"
Wan'er rolled his eyes at the two of them: "Little uncle came to ask the crime, don't you think I'm alone? I'm not that stupid."
The servants of Fan's mansion who were getting on and off the carriage were clearly ruthless towards the old prince, seeing that the three young masters of his family were so frightened, they couldn't help laughing. In the midst of low laughter, Teng Zijing waved his horsewhip, and the carriage with the Fangyuan logo printed in Fan Mansion drove out without a sound, and the voices of several young people complaining to each other could be faintly heard in the carriage.
The carriage was extremely careful not to go down the main street, but to go around a way, out of the range of Nancheng, without being seen by the servants of Prince Jing's family. Seeing the carriage disappear at the end of the street, the servants of Fan's residence at the door dispersed immediately. After a while, he really heard a sound like a bell resounding through the back garden of Fan Mansion.
"I'll fuck you!" Prince Jing stood in front of a large group of restless servants, with his old waist on his hips, looking at the empty and lonely backyard where not even a single mouse was left, he couldn't help feeling angry. "These little bastards knew that I was coming, and hid like farts. Am I so scary?"
At the front of the crowd, the nominal mother of the three of Fan Xian, Mrs. Liu, couldn't help but look sad when she heard the lord's words "Fuck his mother", and replied in a low voice, "My lord, as I said before, then A few children went to Xicheng to see a doctor today."
Prince Jing looked at the swing that was still slightly swinging, took a sip, and cursed, "Fan Jian's illness was cured by Fan Xian, and he still needs to see a fucking doctor!"
※※※
There are two flowers blooming, one branch first, not to mention that Prince Jing is still furious at the air in the back garden, but the three young men in the carriage escaped from the Fan Mansion at this time, feeling relaxed and fully aware of it. Looking at the autumn air in Kyoto, the air is much fresher, and I feel very good.
Ever since Fan Xian returned to China from the Northern Qi Dynasty, a series of incidents happened one after another. Not to mention taking his family to Cangshan for vacation, and taking a rest in a farm in the suburbs of Beijing. To play tricks is to play tricks, to sulk with oneself in the house. In the past few days, the overall situation has been settled, and I have a little leisure time, but because I pretend to be sick and don't go to court, I always want to show my majesty enough face, I am embarrassed to wander around the street openly, so I have to chat with my wife and sister at home Dry.
Fortunately, Prince Jing came today, and Fan Shangshu would not be angry because of Fan Xian's escape, so he gave the three of them a chance to visit the capital secretly.
Sitting in the carriage, Fan Xian opened the curtains a little, and the two girls greedily looked at the scenery and people on the street. The stalls selling snacks kept yelling, and there were some strange gadgets on the corner of the street, and it was peaceful.
Wan'er pouted and said, "It's time to come out, but it's inconvenient to get out of the car. Could it be that you're bored in the car?"
Ruoruo also frowned and said, "It's not convenient for brother to show his face at this time..." She suddenly said, "But brother, can you disguise yourself?"
Fan Xian laughed and said, "Even if the people in this capital don't recognize me, don't they recognize the two flowers in your capital?" Knowing that he was lying, Wan'er and Ruoruo is still a little faintly happy. Girls are really coaxing.
"Let's go to Yishiju for dinner." Wan'er was a little bored, and said with an idea: "Clear a quiet box on the third floor, and no one will see us. You can also enjoy the scenery."
Coincidentally, at this time the carriage had just passed the downstairs of Yishiju. Fan Xian looked out the car window, and suddenly thought that the first time he went shopping after coming to Kyoto from Danzhou, he had dinner with his sister and brother at Yishiju. I have forgotten what I said at the time, it seems to be related to the strength of character, but I still remember that Guo Baokun punched him black, and bought a pirated copy of Stones from the kind middle-aged woman downstairs.
The Guo family has already been overthrown by himself. The Minister of Rites, Guo Youzhi, was hanged in the sky prison because of the case of Chun Wei, but the case was not implicated, so it is unknown where the son of Guo Baokun leaked.
He didn't answer Wan'er's words, but said with some regret: "Yishiju...downstairs, why is there no book vendor?"
Fan Ruoruo glanced at him, and said softly: "After my brother opened Danbo Bookstore, Sizhe went to find some people, so the government tightened the investigation... There are a lot fewer book dealers in the capital."
Fan Xian was slightly taken aback, and then he remembered that his younger brother once said that both black and white should be released to cut off the business of those who sell pirated copies. Thinking of this episode, he naturally thought of Fan Sizhe, who is now going north, and subconsciously said: : "Sizhe should be able to go to Beijing early next month."
The carriage became quiet all of a sudden, Wan'er and Ruoruo looked at each other, and said softly after a while, "It's very cold in the north, I don't know if I have enough clothes."
Fan Xian lowered his head and smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry about it...he's fourteen and will take care of himself." Having said that, what he thinks in his heart is another matter. The prince's resentment increased, and looking at the one-stone house was particularly unpleasant, and said coldly: "The property of the Cui family is for giving money to the second child, and I will not take care of his family's business."
It's hard for Wan'er to say anything at this time. After all, the second prince and her have stayed in the palace together for nearly ten years, and they always have some feelings. Although the battle between her husband and her cousin, she rationally chose to remain silent and confront her. Fan Xian secretly supported him, but he was always reluctant to utter bad words. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit depressed at this time, she said with a chuckle: "Since you don't support his industry, you have to support our own industry...or else..."
She rolled her eyes and said with a teasing smile, "Let's go to Baoyue Tower."
…
…
Take your wife and sister to a brothel? Fan Xian was almost not scared to death by this proposal, coughed twice, and said seriously: "Baoyue Tower is not my property, it is Shi Chanli's."
Wan'er rolled his eyes at him, and said: "Who doesn't know that it's a cover-up, you open the brothel and go there, and I didn't say anything."
Ruoruo tilted her head aside and suppressed a smile.
Fan Xian frowned, and said with a smile, "Why is it that I run a brothel? You clearly know that I'm cleaning my brother's ass."
Wan'er refused to say: "In short, it's my own business. Didn't you say that the dishes there are the best in Beijing? We don't go to find girls, but what are we afraid of if we just eat vegetables? And it's our own business, so we don't have to worry about you pretending The news of being sick and wandering around is known to others."
Fan Xian flatly refused: "If you want to eat, I'll ask the chef in the building to cook it and send it to the mansion. A girl from every family is sitting in a brothel. What does that sound like?"
Wan'er stuck out her tongue mischievously. Said: "The dishes will be cold after they are ready."
Fan Xian said angrily: "Then call the cook home and finish it?"
Seeing his insistence, Wan'er couldn't help sighing, she said with great regret: "I really want to go to Baoyue Tower and see what my uncle's whole brothel looks like." She blinked her big eyes and said: "Honestly, I I'm really curious about this place."
Ruoruo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Go for a stroll..." Seeing that Fan Xian was about to speak, she blocked her first, "It's not right for a girl to sit in a brothel, don't you guys sit like a fool?" gone?"
She smiled and propped her jaw on the window tower: "Furthermore, I heard from my brother that you asked that girl Sang to take charge of Baoyuelou's business. I haven't heard Miss Sang sing a song for more than half a year. I don't want to go to Baoyuelou. Where can I listen to it?"
Seeing that her sister-in-law agreed with her opinion, Wan'er became more courageous, and begged Fan Xian with a shy face, "You know I like to listen to Sang Wen's songs. I haven't seen anyone for more than half a year, and now I know that I was snatched by my nasty uncle." Go to Yuelou, just take us there."
Ruoruo continued: "Men can go shopping, why can't we?"
Fan Xian was at a loss for words for a while, and looked at his sister carefully, and found that this girl seemed to be getting sharper and bolder now, and her way of thinking was indeed different from that of other women in this world. Judging from the previous conversation, she was obviously better than Wan'er. There are many women who want to appear upright, reasonable and powerful. Of course, this is first of all to blame for her education since she was a child, but I always feel that the extraordinary temperament displayed by the girl comes from other places.
He smiled wryly and said: "Actually, it's really defenseless to look at it. You know, I'm also a guy who loves to shock the world, but... Beijing has been restless recently. I don't want those officials to have too much to say."
When he heard that he was serious, Wan'er and Ruoruo shut up sensiblely.
Fan Xian turned his head to look out of the car, but was startled, and found that not far ahead was the front building of the Baoyue Building, which was full of luxury but also charming. Are you really dragged here? You only know how to coax your mistress, but you don’t know what I mean, do you still want to go to Donghai County to be an official? You know, your family has already told me several times. "
Fujiko Jing smiled honestly and didn't say anything, but Wan'er and Ruoruo covered their mouths and laughed.
※※※
The carriage of Fan's Mansion arrived at Baoyue Tower. Although he didn't know that it was Fan Xian sitting in the carriage, how dare those shrewd guests in Baoyue Tower be disrespectful? Even Shi Qing'er, who was wounded by sticks in the Kyoto Prefecture in the room on the third floor... limped down to wait. I was taken aback.
Seeing the legendary young bustard, the two distinguished ladies in the car were somewhat satisfied, but to their disappointment, Sang Wen was not in the building, saying that some house had invited him to sing.
Without this excuse, Fan Xian certainly wouldn't allow them to go crazy in the Baoyue Tower, but he was also a little puzzled. Now that Sang Wen is free, he even entered the Overwatch Council secretly, so he doesn't need to see other princes in the capital at all. With a noble face, why would he go to other people's houses to sing? Whose mansion can have such a big face
The carriage drove away from Baoyue Tower, looking at the two girls' homes who were somewhat depressed and disappointed, Fan Xian smiled and comforted him: "Since I came out to play, please have fun... Baoyue Tower is not the most luxurious place in Kyoto, the cooks here do it." The food is not the best either.”
Before the words were finished, Wan'er said first: "Don't try to lie to us, Baoyue Tower's reputation is really good now, if you say this house is not good... unless you say it is from the palace." She said with a smile: " I don't mind going into the palace to have a look at those empresses, anyway, I haven't seen you for a few days... But you, sir, aren't you afraid that Long Yan will be furious when His Majesty sees you pretending to be sick in the palace?"
Fan Xian smiled and twisted the tip of her nose: "Don't curse me... I'll take you to a place, it's definitely more comfortable than the palace, and the dishes made are not even as good as the royal chef's."
The two girls were so surprised, they thought to themselves, could there be a place more luxurious than the imperial palace under Pu Tian? Even if those salt merchants and royal merchants have this kind of strength, they don't have the courage to violate the regulations.
…
…
The carriage drove out of the south gate of the capital, and pedestrians became scarce after reaching the outskirts. The secret agents of the Qi Nian Group who were secretly protecting Fan Xian and the guards of the Fan Mansion had to show their figures in embarrassment, and looked at each other inexplicably. One glance, and then the boss uncomfortably followed the carriage not far behind, and followed the carriage towards a quiet hill in the suburbs of Beijing.
The closer you get to the mountain, the mountain road is not narrow. It still maintains the standard of the first-class official road in Qing Dynasty, but the mountain forest beside the road is more secluded, and the beautiful scenery blows your face. The yellow autumn grass is mixed with wild flowers that have not withered. The thin-leaved woods are distributed behind the grassland, and countless layers of rich colors, as if painted by a painter, naturally spread among the surrounding mountains and forests, which is extremely beautiful.
Lin Wan'er and Fan Ruoruo couldn't help sighing, the scenery here is indeed excellent, but why is it so common that no one has mentioned it? Even the outings in previous years seem to have never been here. Logically speaking, this kind of good place should have been taken away by the palace or some powerful minister to build another house, why didn't I know whose family it was? But looking at the width of the mountain road, one can guess that the mansion to be visited later must be the residence of a very important person.
It's just that Fan Xian was still playing tricks, and the two girls were a little unhappy, so they shut up and didn't talk to him, just enjoying the surrounding scenery.
The mountain road gradually disappeared, the carriage turned around a forest, and a vast manor suddenly appeared in front of everyone, just like the place where the gods lived, and the cloud of spells was suddenly removed, and it appeared in front of the eyes of mortals. The buildings in the manor are not tall, but they are located in a very suitable location. They are mixed with the dwarf trees and bluestones in the garden, which coincides with the principles of nature. Although they are not flashy, the details of the door buttons on the corners of the eaves clearly reveal a noble atmosphere.
"How is it better than the palace?" Fan Xian asked with a smile.
Lin Wan'er closed her surprised mouth, and said with a sneer: "... each has its own merits... but it's not our family's Zhuangzi, what are you proud of?"
Fan Xian waved his hand and said, "The owner of this place has said that he will give it to me in the future, but I think it's not good enough here, so I don't want to move here."
Even Ruoruo was taken aback at this moment, and said in amazement, "What's so bad about this?"
"There are too many women." Fan Xian said seriously, "I don't know how many stunning beauties are hidden in this village."
…
…
Ignoring the astonishment of the two girls around him, the carriage stopped under Fan Xian's command. He got out of the carriage under the watchful eyes of the two girls, took out the tea sign on his waist, and stretched it abruptly into the nearby grass. middle.
A man appeared out of the grass like a magic trick. The man was wearing very ordinary clothes, like a common woodcutter in the mountains. The woodcutter checked his badge carefully and stared at Fan Xian for a long time before saying in embarrassment. : "My lord, this is a deadly rule, please forgive me."
"I don't blame you." Fan Xian said with a smile, "In the car are my wife and sister."
The woodcutter didn't dare to respond, he retreated respectfully, and found another inconspicuous hiding place.
The carriage started again and headed for the manor along the mountain road. The journey was extremely quiet. But at this moment, the two girls in the carriage could guess that this road must be as well-guarded as the palace, and it can even be said to be murderous every step of the way. Even if a small army wants to attack, they will be defeated in disastrous defeat.
Of course, these two girls are ice and snow smart, and they finally guessed who the owner of this villa is at this time.
To have a higher level of enjoyment than the imperial palace, to live in such a garden, to have such strict defenses, who else but the master of the Overwatch Council
At the rear of the carriage, the two teams who had been in charge of protecting the carriage also wisely stopped their progress far away, squatted down helplessly, and began to herd the sheep. Already at this place, there is no need for people like myself to be bodyguards.
Su Wenmao, the leader of the Qi Nian team today, nodded to the head of the guards in the Fan Mansion over there.
The head of the guard also returned the salute with some embarrassment.
"Be content." Su Wenmao said to his colleagues on the other side of the road with a smile: "People like us are so close to Lord Dean's yard...it is a blessing to Lord Totis."
"That is." The head of the guard looked enviously at the beautiful manor in the distance.
Then I sat on the grass on both sides, started to chew grass roots, let go, bored, looked up at the sky, and yawned.
…
…
In the beautiful manor lives Chen Pingping, the old cripple who has the most power in the entire Qing Kingdom besides His Majesty the Emperor. Unlike ordinary civil and military officials, Chen Pingping's status in the court of the Qing Dynasty was too special, and she always refused to go to court because of her illness, so she had time to live in a garden outside the city for many years, and the family in Beijing basically I haven't lived there.
Today, Fan Xian, who pretended to be sick, came to see Chen Pingping, who was always pretending to be sick. After all, he was a person who had been here several times, so he was familiar with the way. He went directly to the gate of the garden. On the plaque of the garden, there were two large characters written in splashed ink - "Chen Yuan", which was inscribed by the late emperor's relatives and was extremely precious.
Looking at the two carriages parked outside the door, he couldn't help frowning. It never occurred to her that there would be guests in the garden today. With Chen Pingping's lonely personality and the Overwatch Council's reputation, ordinary courtiers would definitely not come to drink tea—who is the guest today
Wan'er got out of the carriage behind him, and after just one glance, she saw the mark of the first carriage, and said with a smile, "People from the royal family."
Fan Xian was slightly taken aback.
The old family member at the gate of Chen Yuan had already flown down the steps to greet him. He knew that the young Mr. Fan in front of him was different from all the officials in the world. The appointed successor naturally didn't dare to take the appointment, so he said in a very polite but very low voice: "It's Prince He and Lord Xiaoqin of the Privy Council."
Fan Xian tilted his head and scratched the itchy back of his neck. The eldest prince and Xiao Qin? He knew that Mr. Xiao Qin was also discussing matters under his sect now, and he was already an important minister who had entered the center of the court. The most important thing was that Xiao Qin had Lao Qin on top of him, the former president of the Military Academy, and now the Privy Council. Old General Qin, this family is a good man, and has a very deep influence in Qing's military. The eldest prince has fought in the west for several years, and has a very close relationship with the Qin family. What are these two people doing when they come to Chen Pingping's mansion
Fan Xian stood under the stone steps, not in a hurry to go in, but wondering whether the other party's visit might have something to do with him. Although the relationship between the military and the Overwatch Council has always been very harmonious, this matter is still a bit weird. He smiled, and didn't care if the court found out about his outing, so he took his wife and sister to the garden, and he wanted to see what the eldest prince had in mind.
Passing through the extremely beautiful and luxuriously decorated round pavilion and flowing water, I finally came to the main hall where Chen Pingping entertained guests. Without waiting for anyone to report, Fan Xian rushed in with great strides. He didn't think about what to say, but when he saw the girl Sang Wen who was singing in a corner of the hall, he couldn't help laughing: "I I guessed it, your family is the only one in the entire capital who dares to force Miss Lasang to sing."
It turned out that Sang Wen, who was not in Baoyue Tower, was actually in Chen Yuan!
Sang Wen is the treasurer of Baoyuelou and a new member of the Overwatch Council. Chen Pingping invited her to sing a song, of course it was just a matter of saying something.
Laughter echoed in the hall, and Chen Pingping, who was sitting on the main seat, raised her eyes with a half-smile, and looked at the three young men and women who had arrived unexpectedly. There was a hint of warmth in her usually cold eyes, and her skinny hands were light. Gently stroking the gray wool blanket on his legs that hadn't changed for many years, he laughed and scolded: "Don't you think there are too many women here? Why are you here today? Come and come, and bring your own wife and sister, aren't you afraid of me? Call some women to eat you alive?"
The two young people sitting in the guest seats were slightly startled, turned their heads to look in the direction of the entrance of the hall, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Sang Wen stopped the song, stood up with a smile on his face, and bowed to Fan Xian and the two girls.
After a while, the young man who was dressed in casual clothes but still couldn't help exuding a soldier's temperament stood up, first saluted Wan'er behind Fan Xian very politely, and then greeted Fan Ruoruo gently. , and then said to Fan Xian with a smile all over his face: "Master Fan, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Fan Xian had met Qin Heng before, knew that he had a very good family background, and was highly appreciated by His Majesty. He was a new star in the court of the Qing Dynasty, and his future was boundless.
Although Qin Heng's rank is still higher than that of Fan Xian, both parties know each other's strength and status, so there is no need to play those fake tricks. Qin Heng said with a gentle smile: "I came to visit Mr. Dean today, but I didn't expect to meet Mr. Tisi. Qin is really lucky."
Seeing that his smile didn't seem fake, Fan Xian felt comfortable in his heart, and replied, "Don't tell lies about getting close again in the future, since we met today, naturally we have to drink a few cups."
Qin Heng laughed loudly and said: "Fan Tisi is really a wonderful person, he acted unexpectedly, he never mentioned the matter of being sick and not going to court, but he wanted to drink to his heart's content, so I couldn't say a few jokes."
Fan Xian glanced at Chen Pingping, who was sitting in the host seat, and said with a wry smile, "Of course, as juniors, it depends on whether the host is willing to serve guests with good wine."
Chen Pingping cursed: "You are richer than the old man!"
Qin Heng's face did not change color, and he smiled slightly, but his heart thumped, extremely shocked. The courtiers had always thought that Fan Xian was able to be so well-known in the Overwatch Council mainly because of His Majesty's appreciation and advanced training, but seeing Fan Xian talking to the feared Dean Chen at this time, he was so "not big or small", And Dean Chen's answer was so natural that he felt a little strange. It seems that the relationship between Dean Chen and this Fan Tisi...is really extraordinary!
Your Majesty's appreciation is important, but if you really want to be able to control the Overwatch Council... the most important thing is still Chen Pingping's attitude. It wasn't until this moment that Qin Heng truly realized that this young man named Fan Xian would one day firmly control the Overwatch Council in his hands, so the military... must speed up the speed of making friends with this person. Instead of just saying a few good words for Fan Xian under the door, and then conveying goodwill to the Fan family through other people's mouths.
In just a few words of dialogue, a lot of useful information has been exchanged. Fan Xian also understands that Chen Pingping is taking this opportunity to express his truest attitude to the military and strengthen his bargaining chip.
The two exchanged some more pleasantries, and Fan Xian seemed to have just realized it, and turned around to salute the eldest prince who was sitting beside him.
Logically speaking, his behavior was a bit rude, but everyone in the hall knew that he had an awkward fight with the First Prince when they first met, and Qin Heng had a good relationship with the First Prince, so he didn't care much about it. Things, as for Chen Pingping...he doesn't care about such junk as court etiquette.
Just when Fan Xian thought that the eldest prince would be angry, he turned his head and looked, but he almost became angry. He saw his wife obediently sitting next to the eldest prince, and said something to the eldest prince with a smile on her face—damn, Although he knew that Wan'er had been raised in Ning Cairen's palace since she was a child, which meant that the eldest prince watched her grow up, and the two of them were like biological brothers and sisters, but watching this scene, Fan Xian was still very upset.
What was even more disturbing was that even Ruoruo was sitting at the bottom, listening to what the First Prince had to say with great interest!
Fan Xian strained his ears to listen to a few sentences before he realized that the first prince was talking about the battle in the west and the story of fighting with the barbarians for horses. Qing people are good at martial arts, the eldest prince has been guarding the border all year round, and he is a hero and idol among the people, even Wan'er and Ruoruo can't get rid of the vulgarity.
Fan Xian felt a little bitter in his heart, and his mouth was a little bitter. He thought about my young master... my young master... my young master is a pacifist, otherwise I will fight a few battles to let you little girls see your majesty on horseback. He was upset in his heart, but there was no reaction on his face. Instead, he laughed and saluted the First Prince very naturally, and said, "Your Majesty Fan Xian, I have seen Your Highness... oh, it's Prince He."
Seeing Fan Xian, the First Prince was already a little depressed. Hearing his tone now, he couldn't help but said, "I said Fan Xian... did this king offend you in some way? When we meet, don't you stab this king?" A few words, you are not happy?" He turned to Lin Wan'er and said, "Chen'er, the husband you married... is really not good."
Lin Wan'er and the First Prince couldn't be more familiar. When he saw that he said that she was a husband-in-law, how could she agree? She directly took a fruit from the table and stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "How can you say that about your brother-in-law as soon as you meet?"
Fan Xian chuckled, the word "brother-in-law" sounded better, he went and sat down Ruoruo, and Chen Yuan's servants brought hot towels and tea, even though he knew that the eldest prince and Qin Heng came to find the old cripple. There was something important to do, but he stayed in the hall with a deadpan face, not giving the other party a chance to speak naturally.
Lin Wan'er knew about the dispute between the embassy and the Western Expeditionary Army outside of the capital. In the final analysis, this matter was really Fan Xian's fault, but she also knew the reason why Fan Xian did this. Therefore, there is no need for Fan Xian to offend another eldest prince, and she herself does not want to see a conflict between her husband-in-law and the dearest elder brother, so she subconsciously pulls the two of them to talk, wanting to ease the situation. Look at the relationship between the two.
Everyone knows this kind of behavior. It's just a man, there will always be a time when he can't see through it, so the first prince watched his nose and nose, and ignored it, but Fan Xian just talked to Qin Heng with a smile In other words, ask the other party how the old General Qin is doing, and when will he take the time to visit the mansion.
Chen Pingping seemed to be asleep, half lying on the wheelchair. It was strange to say that even in his extremely luxurious home, he still insisted on sitting in the wheelchair instead of a more comfortable couch. Seeing this situation, Lin Wan'er had no choice but to sigh, but Ruoruo laughed from the sidelines, a great prince who is good at fighting, and a young minister who is very popular in the court, is actually fighting like two little boys. The scene is really funny.
In the end, even Qin Heng felt that he and Fan Xian couldn't continue chatting any longer, so the eldest prince suddenly said coldly: "I heard that Fan Tisi was seriously ill recently and couldn't go to court, and you couldn't even go to court if you were a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Arguing, I don't want to be so playful today..."
Fan Xian yawned and said, "I will go to court tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow."
Qin Heng was taken aback for a moment, thinking, could it be that you have stopped playing tricks? Then there will be excitement at the court tomorrow... It's just... I was dragged to Chen Garden by His Royal Highness, and the matter I want to talk about, it's not easy to talk about it in front of you, Fan Xian.
It was difficult for him to speak, but the first prince was open and ruthless, and said directly to Chen Pingping respectfully: "Uncle, you can just say something about the second child..." He tilted his head and glanced at Fan Xian, and continued: "I don't care about the affairs of the court, but those rumors in Beijing are too absurd, and there are indeed several officials under the second sect who are really talented. loss."
Qin Heng thought that you were a bachelor, and wanted to refute Fan Tisi's face in front of Fan Tisi, but when the situation came to an end, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and smile bitterly: "Yes, Mr. Dean, Your Majesty has been refusing to speak again. , if you don't show up again, if things go on, the court will not look good."
Fan Xian smiled, these two are really aboveboard. The purpose of the first prince and Qin Heng's visit is very clear. The faction of the second prince has been overwhelmed by the Overwatch Council, and it is not easy to come forward in person, so he begged his elder brother to come forward, and then he joined the Qin family in the Privy Council. The other party went directly to Chen Pingping What an excellent plan, this is not poaching his own corner, but smoking the firewood under his own pot - if Chen Pingping really asked Fan Xian to stop, he would have no choice but to comply.
However, the benefits that should have been earned have already been obtained. The governor of the capital has withdrawn, and the officials of the second prince's faction in the six ministries have also suffered greater or lesser misfortunes. call.
He called Chen Pingping his uncle!
No matter how unfathomable Chen Pingping's strength is, and how close he is to His Majesty, it is still out of courtesy for the dignified eldest prince to call him uncle. If he speaks out, he will scare someone to death. Who is your uncle? It is Prince Jing, not a minister.
While he was thinking, Chen Pingping had already opened her dull eyes, coughed twice, and said, "I'll talk about the second child later, let me tell you..." He pointed at Lin Wan'er and Ruoruo, coughing He said: "cough...cough...you two girls came to my garden for the first time, why didn't you say hello to the master's house?"
In fact, few people are not afraid of Chen Pingping, especially in many legends and stories, Chen Pingping has been successfully portrayed as a bad night devil image. The leader still had a little fear in his heart, so he quickly sat next to the First Prince as soon as he entered the hall.
Hearing the old man speak at this moment, Lin Wan'er and Ruoruo had no choice but to stand up with a sad face, and walked to Chen Pingping to give them a blessing, and performed the gift of a junior.
Chen Pingping laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? Your mother and father... are not much better than me." This is naturally about the eldest princess and the treacherous Fan Shangshu. He then said to the eldest prince: "The matter you mentioned, since the master has come, you can talk to him directly...he can make the decision. The princess, Miss Fan, help the old guy push the wheelchair , the old man will take you to see Chen Yuan’s treasures.”
The second daughter and Sang Wen pushed the old cripple's wheelchair out of the hall, leaving only the eldest prince Fan Xian Qin Heng and the three of them looking at each other, thinking that this old guy is too dishonest to do things, leaving his own home as a battlefield to the younger generation Fighting, but he took the three beautiful women to go shopping in the garden.
