Xuan room
Hou Yi, not Emperor Qing, was still playing with his orange bow, shooting arrow after arrow at the armor.
"Your Majesty, news has just come from your subordinates that Fan Xian secretly went to the Overwatch Council to transfer a document, and he also questioned the real culprit of the Danzhou assassination. He transferred Teng Zijing's document No. [-], the Overwatch Council. Said, this person should be dead."
"No, this man is not dead, and he went to Beijing with Fan Xian."
"Your Majesty, isn't Fan Xian a bully?"
Bullying the emperor is a serious crime, but what Emperor Qing said next surprised Eunuch Hou.
"The court is full, that person does not deceive the emperor, as long as he can do things, it doesn't matter if he tells a few lies."
"Your Majesty is too kind."
After all, Eunuch Hou still didn’t understand the meaning of Emperor Qing’s words. I don’t care about you when you can do things. When you can’t do things or I find someone who can replace you, your death will come.
"Will Fan Xian attend tomorrow's poetry meeting?"
"Yes"
"Where is the second child?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Cheng did go to Yishiju, but he didn't show up."
"Where's the princess?"
"Everywhere people spread the story of Mr. Fan's beating."
"Oh, it's a lot better than last time."
Although Li Yunrui has been challenging the bottom line, Emperor Qing still has feelings for her.
"Where's the East Palace?"
"His Royal Highness asked the Crown Princess to return to the palace."
"Let the princess go back to the palace? Didn't he do anything else?"
Emperor Qing put down the bow and arrow in his hand. He originally thought that the crown prince was using Fan Ruoruo's brother-sister card to obtain financial power in the internal treasury, but unexpectedly withdrew it again. This was really beyond his expectation.
"The slave didn't find out about other things."
Eunuch Hou didn't finish his sentence.
…………
East Palace
Knowing how many pairs of eyes are staring at him, even if he is playing, Li Chengqian will stop talking.
In the past two years, Li Chengqian's time to go to Shangshufang to attend classes became shorter, and more time was spent on dealing with the government affairs arranged by Emperor Qing.
At this time, he had just finished writing a notebook when Fan Ruoruo arrived with a bowl of grits soup.
"Your Highness"
"If Ruoruo is back, it's no wonder Gu broke his promise."
Li Chengqian put down the pen and paper and stood up.
"If Ruoruo is self-willed, His Highness is embarrassed."
In a world where men are superior to women, and both sides have such identities, Fan Ruoruo is a smart person, how could he dare to blame Li Chengqian.
"You didn't choose the right time to go back to the mansion this time, but it's not your fault. Gu didn't think of it at the beginning."
"Because of my brother?"
"Because of the financial power of the internal treasury."
Since he is the person next to him and he can be absolutely trusted, Li Chengqian feels that he still needs to explain some things to Fan Ruoruo.
"His Royal Highness?"
Fan Ruoruo was ice smart, Li Chengqian only had a head start, and she guessed the mastermind behind her brother and herself being targeted today.
"Power is something that fascinates people. My aunt has held the financial power of the inner treasury for more than ten years, but my father asked her to release power all of a sudden, but she naturally refused; but she couldn't hold back my father, but she blamed you and elder brother."
"So what happened to Yishiju today was also planned by His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."
"She is an elder, so it's not easy for me to confront her directly; so I begged my father to let my eldest brother meet Wan'er. If they see each other well, I will take more care of my aunt when she wants to target my elder brother. "
Li Chengqian revealed his intention of arranging Fan Xian to meet Lin Wan'er.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Fan Ruoruo quickly thanked her.
"Ruoruo, the maids sent by the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress mother..."
"Your Highness, you don't need to explain to me. If you are not a jealous person, as long as Your Highness has me in mind, I don't care how many women there are in the East Palace."
That's right, what I want is your attitude; Li Chengqian is very satisfied with Fan Ruoruo's statement.
…………
Without Fan Ruoruo's company, Fan Xian still went to the poetry meeting in Prince Jing's mansion on time.
Travelers in ancient times are really like fireflies in the dark if they don't restrain themselves deliberately.
As soon as the poetry meeting ended, the song "Climbing the High" carried by Fan Xian began to be widely circulated in Kyoto.
…………
Cining Palace
Although the queen mother is old, it does not prevent her from gossiping.
"Wanli's sad autumn is often a guest, and he is alone on stage after a hundred years of illness. The poem is a good poem, but this poem is too old."
People in the royal family may not be able to write good poems, but most of them still understand poetry, and the Queen Mother is no exception.
"The Empress Dowager said that this poem was copied by Fan Xian."
Just thinking about how to ruin Fan Xian's reputation, Li Yunrui hastily continued.
"I didn't say that. I should have told you clearly about what happened last time. No one can change what the Holy Majesty has set."
Knowing Li Yunrui's thoughts, the queen mother unceremoniously broke her delusion.
"Queen Mother, the Holy Majesty did not say that Wan'er must marry Fan Xian."
"I know this. You dragged Chengqian to beg the Holy Majesty, saying that you wanted Wan'er to meet Fan Xian and let them decide the marriage by themselves. It's really absurd."
The queen mother is old, so she should be kinder, but she attaches great importance to rules and dignity, making it difficult for people to get close to her.
"The Queen Mother..."
"You don't need to talk to me, since the Holy Majesty said to let them meet, then meet once; it's just that you have to know about this marriage, don't make things difficult for Cheng Qian, and don't make it difficult for the Holy Majesty."
The queen mother warned Li Yunrui.
"The queen mother, the prince and the princess are asking to see each other"
"Show them in"
Although the queen mother is a member of the royal family, she is also an old man; if she is an old man, it is inevitable that she will have intergenerational relatives. Unlike Li Yunrui who is picky about her nose and eyes, she really likes Li Chengqian, a grandson.
"Grandson (granddaughter-in-law)
Greetings to the Royal Grandmother"
Unlike the first time Fan Xian met the old lady, Li Chengqian and Fan Ruoruo respectfully kowtowed to her.
"Get up."
There is no family relationship in the Tian family, but people have feelings after all; the queen mother has always had a wish, that is, not to see bloodshed in the royal family again in her lifetime.
Wishes are mostly difficult to come true, just like the assassination of Li Chengqian in the western suburbs two years ago, the queen mother didn't know that this was Li Chengqian's self-directed and self-acted, which in her opinion was the beginning of a new round of bloodshed in the royal family.
"Thank you grandma"
Fan Ruoruo said that Fan Xian is——Moshang is like a jade, and his son is unparalleled in the world; Li Chengqian is not like that; just looking at his face gives people a feeling of wanting to be close.
"My aunt is here too."
Even if he is reluctant, Li Yunrui is still an elder, and Li Chengqian and Fan Ruoruo still want to greet her.
"Okay, take a seat, Chengqian, you are here to see the emperor's grandmother at this time, is there something wrong?"
The queen mother was a little afraid that Li Chengqian was instigated by Li Yunrui to tell her about Lin Wan'er's marriage; she dared to slap her daughter's face, but she didn't dare to slap her grandson's face; this is the man who will be the emperor in the future. Are you comfortable?
"Back to the emperor's grandmother, it was Ruoruo, she had a sudden idea and asked the craftsmen to build something, saying that she wanted to dedicate it to the emperor's grandmother."
"Oh, if there is something to dedicate to this palace, it should be presented quickly."
As soon as she heard that it was not something she was worried about, the old lady immediately had a smile on her face.
"What is this?"
After receiving the things that Fan Ruoruo asked Hong Sitch to present, the queen mother asked curiously.
"Back to the imperial grandmother, these things are called glasses; wearing them can make the imperial grandmother see things more clearly."
Fan Ruoruo has listened to many stories told by Fan Xian since she was a child. With Li Chengqian's conscious guidance, this pair of reading glasses came into being out of her whimsy.
"How do you wear this, Ruoruo, come forward and teach me?"
Everyone has this problem when they get older, even if they live in a wealthy family. The Queen Mother has recently felt that she is a little old and dim-sighted. When she heard that glasses have such effects, she immediately became interested.
Fan Ruoruo has no strength to restrain a chicken, and coupled with her identity, she will naturally not stop Hong Siitch from going forward.
"It really became clear, good thing, Ruoruo, you have a heart."
Ai Wuji Wu, the queen mother is also very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law who once saved her grandson's life, not to mention that she accepted a gift from her today.
"As long as the imperial grandmother is satisfied."
If you take people softly, eat people with short mouths, and take my things, you can't continue to block me anymore, right?
Not only the Empress Dowager, today Li Chengqian accompanied Fan Ruoruo to give gifts one by one, first to Emperor Qing, then here, and then to the Empress.
