The chill outside the Guangxin Palace seeped in, trying to forcibly change the name of the palace to the residence of Sister Chang'e, but the red candle was on the side, the warm incense was rising, the wine was fierce, and the chūn was full of intentions, this kind of plot was always just a delusion.

Fan Xian watched the eldest princess and Wan'er talk softly, and the smile on his face gradually increased, no longer as awkward as when he entered the palace before.

The eldest princess is still as beautiful and seductive as before, even if Fan Xian clearly knows what Hong Zhu said, but in addition to the shock, he is more of a strong displeasure with the prince - at least at this time, looking at this first beauty in Qingguo, the young son-in-law can't have too much disgust in his heart.

Of course, this kind of love is a wonderful thing in itself. He gently put down his wine glass and laughed at himself, thinking to himself, the eldest princess is not a poor person.

The wretched will have something to hate.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is the queen mother's favorite young daughter, and the emperor has been a powerful figure in the past ten years, especially for Fan Xian, under the soft appearance of this palace beauty, there is a letter like a poisonous snake, a liquid that kills people without seeing blood...... At the age of twelve, Fan Xian ushered in the first assassination of the eldest princess. After entering Beijing, the two sides were even more intertwined with conspiracy and blood, unable to extricate themselves. It's just that in the past few years, Fan Xian's power has gradually expanded, but the eldest princess's strength has weakened, and the eldest princess has already admitted that her son-in-law is her real opponent worth paying attention to, but ...... Fan Xian's two most direct conflicts in Qingguo, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, are actually just pawns thrown by the eldest princess, Fan Xian clearly knows that he has been reborn at this time, and the real enemy of the whole world is the palace beauty in front of him.

The eldest princess is the most powerful opponent of Fan Xian's family, so in the past few years, the Supervision Yuan has also concentrated all the intelligence centers in Xinyang and Guangxin Palace. Fan Xian knew the eldest princess, even more than herself.

This is a psychological problem, and he can sensitively perceive that the eldest princess's complicated vision for the woman back then, even ...... For that deformed emotion, otherwise, it can't explain the strange political pattern of Qingguo since the fall of the Ye family.

And those who hate will have pity.

It's just that Fan Xian will not show a trace of mercy to the eldest princess, in this regard, he is more indifferent and ruthless than anyone in the world, just like the sentence that he has said countless times - drunk Fang Zhiqiang, after death he knows the weight of his life - he wants to live, who doesn't want him to live, then he must die in front of him.

............ "How is Gangnam?"

The eldest princess lightly stretched her jade arms and slowly put down the wine glass, it was winter, although there was a bamboo charcoal stove in the palace, but after all, the temperature was not high, and the palace clothes worn by the eldest princess were also winter clothes, which were somewhat thick, but such clothes still covered the undulating curves of her body and the ubiquitous charm.

At this time, Wan'er was already asleep, and the palace maids carefully came out of the apse to cover their lives, and then withdrew from the hall and closed the temple door. Fan Xian frowned slightly, but he wouldn't say anything to stop him, after all, the eldest princess was her mother, and it was inconvenient for him to say too much.

"Jiangnan is very good, the scenery is good, the characters are good. Fan Xian smiled and replied: "If my mother has any leisure, when will I go to Hangzhou to see." ”

Although it was very awkward for his mother to say the four words, he couldn't help it.

"I went there a few years ago, and now the scenery is still the same, but the characters are very different, why do you need to go again?"

The eldest princess left the table and walked outside the hall while sneering, which naturally referred to the inner library that originally belonged to her, but now it was all taken over by Fan Xian.

Fan Xian did not leave his seat, suffocated slightly, and said respectfully after a while: "Born in the world, the characters are to be seen, the scenery is also to be seen, the characters are always like flowers chasing water, the dynasty is different every year, the scenery is in the world, but it is unchanged for thousands of years, people have a short life, but they can see the scenery of the changes of the ages, this is the important thing that An Zhi thinks." ”

The eldest princess was stunned, looked back at Fan Xian, tilted her head slightly, showed a smile on her face, and said, "What are you trying to persuade the palace?"

"An Zhi didn't dare. Fan Xian replied with a wry smile.

The eldest princess sneered slightly and said: "There are very few things in this world that you don't dare, but it is really a very stupid thing to try to weaken the heart of this palace with words." ”

............ In front of the queen mother, Li Yunrui is a well-behaved and even somewhat stupid daughter, in front of the emperor, Li Yunrui is a precocious and even somewhat perverted assistant, in front of Lin Xiangye, Li Yunrui is a cowardly and even somewhat pretentious beauty, in front of the princes, Li Yunrui is a gentle and even somewhat seductive woman, in front of his subordinates, Li Yunrui is a master who smiles and waves his hands.

Only at this moment, in Guangxin Palace, in front of her good son-in-law Fan Xian, Li Yunrui is nothing, she is just herself, the purest self, without any cowardice but the slightest cover-up, calmly facing Fan Xian with her own true appearance.

Perhaps both of them know that the enemy is the one who knows them best, so there is no need to cover up uselessly.

Therefore, Fan Xian did not smile slightly shy and gently, but said very directly: "Fuguang yīn, a passerby of a hundred generations, a person of heaven and earth, the reverse journey of all things, An Zhi doesn't dare to persuade you to anything, but I feel that life is short, and there is always a lot of happiness to pursue......"

Before he could finish speaking, the eldest princess cut off his words and said coldly: "What is Shixian? Don't always think that saying a few sour words and complacently saying a few seemingly philosophical words will solve a problem. ”

This is said ordinary, but the pride and disdain inside are particularly scathing, and there are no outsiders present at this time, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess shows her truest side.

"Don't always think that a woman is an animal who feels more than a qiē. The eldest princess said indifferently: "You also said in what you wrote yourself, men are all a mess, in this case, don't pretend to be a jade in front of me." ”

Fan Xian had nothing to say, so he had to listen with a wry smile.

The eldest princess walked to the side of the palace gate, lifted the cotton curtain, and stood on the stone steps, looking at the silent palace night around her.

Fan Xian naturally didn't want to continue to sit on the seat, so he had to stand up and go out, wanting to hear what the mother-in-law wanted to continue to say.

"Look clearly who is standing in front of you. ”

The eldest princess didn't turn around, her slightly thin body in the cold wind made people feel a palpitation for no reason, as if there were infinite crazy thoughts in it.

"This palace is not a stupid girl like Begonia. She said: "I thought that there was finally a good woman in the north, but I didn't expect that it was still a vulgar thing." ”

............ Fan Xian was speechless, only a wry smile, thinking to himself, who dares to compare with you, in such a world where men are superior to women, it seems that only Her Royal Highness the eldest princess dares to walk and dare to compete with men.

Compete with men in all aspects.

Fan Xian vaguely understood, the eldest princess didn't take those things seriously at all, huh...... Yes, that's it, the sky is about to cry.

He scratched his head a little embarrassed, facing such a woman, he actually felt constrained, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

"You should know why the queen mother announced that you were admitted to the palace, and there is a banquet tonight. The eldest princess said calmly: "You and I know it, so I won't talk about it anymore, just cover it up a little more, this palace doesn't want the queen mother to be too sad and disappointed." ”

Fan Xian bowed to the ground and said sincerely: "Obey the order." ”

"Sincerely?" the corners of the eldest princess's lips slowly curled, and the ruddy curves that could be faintly seen under the night were particularly moving, "I have to admit that your ability has exceeded the previous expectations of this palace, and you ...... It's her son, and I'm a little surprised, no wonder in the past two years, I can't kill you, I can't move you, Your Majesty spoils you, and the old guys love you, it's just a pity...... You're just a stinky man after all. ”

Fan Xian smiled and said, "It's a matter of hormones and secretion. ”

"He?" The eldest princess was slightly stunned, and for the first time there was a trace of unsure in her charming eyes, but she immediately got rid of Fan Xian's deliberate creation, and said coldly: "You, like your mother, always have so many fresh words. ”

Fan Xian's heart moved slightly, and he asked calmly, "Have you seen your mother?"

After the eldest princess was silent for a while, she said: "Nonsense! She lived in King Cheng's mansion when she entered Beijing, where could she not have seen it? ”

Speaking of this, the eldest princess's eyes narrowed softly, and she said slowly: "This palace admires her very much, and can even be said to be jealous of her, but in the end, ...... But I looked down on her. ”

Fan Xian frowned and smiled calmly: "I don't think you have this qualification. ”

This sentence was extremely bold, but the princess was not angry at all, and said lightly: "In the eyes of many people, it is like this, even if this palace has assisted the royal brother since he was a child and has done so many things for this Qingguo, but ...... As long as I compare to your mother, no one thinks I'm the best. ”

"But ......," said the eldest princess indifferently, "I still despise her." ”

Without waiting for Fan Xian to speak, she suddenly laughed a little nervously: "Because in the end...... She's dead. ”

Fan Xian's heart moved slightly, and he didn't know if he could confirm the last truth in history today, but the eldest princess's next words made him a little disappointed.

"And Hongu is not dead. The eldest princess said coldly: "Who can predict the future, can this palace do better than her?"

She turned around, stared at Fan Xian with those soft eyes like a mist, and said softly: "She didn't dominate the world after all, do you think this palace can do it?"

Fan Xian was stared at by these two eyes, and he forcibly maintained his calmness, and after being silent for a long time, he said slowly: "To evaluate a person, in fact, it is not necessarily based on the territory and the records in the history books. ”

He suddenly thought of the letter he saw on that rainy night, and said in a bit of a distraction: "Just like my mother, she didn't help me to rule the world in the Daqing Dynasty, but who knows if she can't do it, or if she doesn't bother to do it?"

The eldest princess was slightly stunned, and finally there was a hint of relaxation in her heart, and she said with a hint of resentment: "If you can't do it, you will be disdainful?" As you said before, life is just a few decades in a hurry, and if you want to imprint it in the hearts of future generations for a long time, what can you rely on if you don't follow the history books?"

"My mother...... Not a single word has been left in the history books. Fan Xian glanced at the eldest princess deeply and said, "I think you also understand why." But this does not negate her existence in this world, whether it is the production of the inner library or the Supervision Yuan, what is she telling the world...... There will always be a rì in history books that will be forgotten, and yellow paper will be swept into the garbage heap, but the real changes to this world will always be preserved. ”

The eldest princess was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then said softly: "That's right, I haven't caused any real change in this world. She paused and laughed at herself: "In addition to constantly changing the boundaries between the kingdoms of the world, the land of Qingguo is constantly expanding outward. ”

............" is to lay thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and after death, you must have a soil steamed bun. ”

Fan Xian said seriously, although the eldest princess had ruthlessly sarcastically mocked him countless times before, he still said these seemingly clichéd sentences.

The eldest princess no longer looked at him, looked at the quiet scene in the palace, and said, "Your idea is different from that of most men in the world. Some men, because they are cowardly and incompetent, will be called beautiful and say that they can see how the clouds are light and the wind is light...... And it is really rare for a man like you, who already has enough status and possibility, but does not want to make a career and leave a name in the history books...... And gutsless. ”

Fan Xian smiled and responded: "Maybe An Zhi knows that he doesn't have this ability, and a character as talented as His Majesty is not something that can be seen all the time." ”

After saying this, he glanced at the eldest princess carefully.

The eldest princess didn't look at him, looking at the corners of the palace, as if she had fallen into some kind of strange love because of someone in Fan's gossip.

"Hongu is a person with a strong desire for power. After she was silent for a long time, she spoke: "But this doesn't mean that I like such things as power, this palace just needs power to achieve a certain desire, and this kind of desire, you people can't understand it at all." ”

Fan Xian bowed his head slightly.

The eldest princess suddenly raised her hand, took a few breaths of heat, her movements were as cute as a little girl, she smiled and said: "Women, you can also do things, this palace has always wanted to prove this." Why is it that men are always taking advantage of women? Why can't women take advantage of men?"

The most beautiful woman in Qingguo finally said to Fan Xian: "This is something that this palace learned from your mother. And as I said, I look down on your mother because she is still ...... to the end can't escape the fate of ordinary women being used by men. ”

"Go ahead, this palace is tired. ”

"There should be no second time for this kind of dialogue. ”

Fan Xian bowed his head and saluted, caught a glimpse of the soft curve of the eldest princess's side out of the corner of his eye, thinking about what the eldest princess said, smiling slightly, secretly thinking that this may be the normal state of war between men and women that is difficult to change through the ages, even if it is you, why not be used by men and not be able to react later?

The eldest princess looked at his back calmly, hoping that her words today would plant that poisonous flower in Fan Xian's heart.

She immediately raised her head and looked at the night sky above the palace, her fingers rubbed slightly, as if she was recalling a certain curve, frowning and thinking, tonight, which palace will the emperor's brother spend the night in?

............ Without pity, without touch, without reflection, Fan Xian left Guangxin Palace very directly, and under the light of the eunuch's lantern, he walked towards the front city of the palace.

His back was a little wet, not because he was afraid, but because of some very complicated feeling. He couldn't help but think of the first time he entered Guangxin Palace to massage the eldest princess, when his fingers rested on the temples next to the beauty's hair, always worried about being assassinated in the palace.

Thinking about it at this time, Fan Xian was so naïve in politics at that time.

Now Fan Xian, of course, understands that this kind of thing, dark, dirty, and bloody, is the most untouchable taboo in the world. It's just that he's embraced these things since he was born, so he has to hide them more thoroughly and better than everybody.

The eldest princess was calm tonight. But Fan Xian knew that just as the gentler the smile on his face, the stronger the killing intent in his heart, and the calmer the eldest princess's expression, the ...... The crazier.

Walking all the way to the front city, all the way to the dim lantern in front of him flickering slightly, Fan Xian was so calm that he even analyzed what he saw and heard tonight with some indifference, as for the poison that the eldest princess wanted to plant, in fact, Fan Xian himself had already planted it, but it had been covered up very well.

How crazy would the eldest princess be? Was it as the old father-in-law in Wuzhou had guessed? But Fan Xian still couldn't figure out where to find this kind of opportunity...... He suddenly thought that the eldest princess didn't mention Lin Ruofu in Wuzhou tonight.

Judging from Fan Xian's understanding of that old matter, the eldest princess may not necessarily be ruthless to Lin Xiangye, it is indeed a little strange tonight, it seems that there is indeed some kind of change in that woman's recent rì.

"Replacement?"

Fan Xian frowned and whispered to himself, he looked a little similar to the second prince, but it was very strange that he didn't look much like the emperor Lao Tzu, on the contrary, it was the prince who had always been a little cowardly, but he was vaguely similar to the emperor.

"My lord, what is it?" asked the eunuch who led the way.

Fan Xian laughed and said, "Scrap." ”

There is a special place to rest in the ――――――――――――――――――― palace, which is quite far from the inner palace.

When His Majesty the Emperor was busy with government affairs more than ten years ago, he often handled state affairs overnight, and the prime minister and secretary at that time also had to wait in the palace, and often did not have time to return to the palace, so the emperor specially ordered to vacate an area of the former city for these ministers to rest.

It's just that now Qingguo is in a peaceful and prosperous era, and there are no boundless troubles for the time being, the palace is no longer as busy as it was back then, and this place has been quiet for a long time.

Until today, Fan Xian came in.

It didn't take long for Fan Xian to leave the mansion and walk quietly like a ghost through the shadow of the high city wall. He grabbed a handful of residual snow under the palace wall, carefully wiped the faint fragrance from his fingers, and sped up his speed to walk in the direction of Jiukesong.

It is indeed an extremely risky thing to walk alone at night in the palace, but Fan Xian knows that if he really follows normal thinking and goes out in the dead of night, the defense force in the palace will be the most rigorous.

Although it was already night, there were still many people in the palace who had not slept, and it was safer to walk at night unexpectedly.

His destination was a corner of the Imperial City, near the Huanyi Workshop on the side of Jiukesong. This area is still within the scope of the imperial city, and it is the location of the Huanyi Bureau when it was originally built, but later there were more and more eunuchs in the palace, and many residences were built along the Huanyi Bureau, which gradually evolved into the residence of the eunuchs.

There is also an access to the outside of the palace in the Huanyi Fang, although it is still guarded by the guards of the forbidden army, but after all, the eunuchs and palace maids live together, and the popularity is mixed, and the access control is much more lax than in ordinary places, and the ministers who risk sending things into the palace often pass through this place.

Fan Xian's connection with Shufang Palace is basically this channel.

But of course he wasn't going to sneak out of the palace tonight, but to meet people.

See Hong Zhu.

............ The architectural planning around the Huanyi room is very chaotic, between the high palace wall and the inner Zhu wall, I don't know how many houses have been built, densely packed with a large area, the night light in the sky shines down, it looks black and mushy, it looks like the slums of Kyoto, compared with the magnificent, powerful palaces of the nobles, it looks so shabby, but there is no terrible lonely taste.
