The emperor once said in the palace that he wanted to use Yan Xiaoyi, and dared to use B, at that time, Fan Xian couldn't wait to stretch out a microphone and ask him, what is your mood? What is his mood? Nong wants to look at people's hearts, and beware of bleeding from the seven orifices that he sees.

Until now, Fan Xian only has such a vague feeling for the emperor, it stands to reason that he doesn't need to be so cāo to celebrate the survival of the country, the life and death of the emperor, but for the future of himself and his relatives, he has to do his best, this is helpless.

The carriage went out of the south city gate, and the four wheels were tossed by the hard ridge in turn, and Fan Xian, who was a little dazed, suddenly woke up, lifted the curtain and walked out, yawning while looking at the official road in the south.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and there were not many people entering the city, and the Seongmonji in charge of the castle gate and the soldiers of the Kyoto garrison in charge of defense were carrying out their work a little boredly, when they suddenly saw a black carriage coming to the gate of the castle under the protection of more than a dozen officials of the Supervisory Yuan, and everyone was shocked.

Looking at the yawning young official under the carriage, everyone immediately guessed his identity, and the general of the Tiannan City Gate Division got the news, and hurriedly ran over, brought a bench to Fan Xian, and served hot tea.

Fan Xian was not polite, holding the tea bowl and gulping.

It didn't take long for a convoy to appear at the end of the official road, along the row of wild trees on the horizon, gradually approaching, and soon came to the city gate.

Fan Xian greeted him.

The convoy stopped, and seven tiger guards including Gundam came down from the carriage, plus a half-kneeling of six swordsmen and saluted him.

Fan Xian waved his hand and asked them to get up, naturally he couldn't help but say a few words of appreciation, but he didn't stop at his feet, and directly boarded the carriage in the middle.

As soon as I lifted the car curtain, I saw Wan'er dozing off with a blue cloth wrap, her long eyelashes lying quietly on Bai Temp's skin, and a bunch of bangs hanging down peacefully under her forehead, covering the girl's tired face.

Fan Xian was stunned and didn't want to wake her up, but just sat beside her, took the blue cloth package in her arms, and glanced at the other side suspiciously.

Sisi, who was sitting opposite, blinked his eyes and whispered, "It's been a long time last night, and the gods are not very good today." ”

Fan Xian smiled, didn't say anything, and motioned for the convoy to enter the city, just whispered to Gundam and the others to be careful when entering the city gate, and not to wake up the person in the carriage.

............ The carriage passed through the small half of Kyoto and came to the quiet long street of Nancheng, and stopped at the main entrance of the Fan Mansion.

The carriage stopped, Wan'er also woke up in a daze, and subconsciously hugged the arm that was not thick but extraordinarily strong beside her and rubbed it twice, feeling that there was a long-lost warmth back to her side, and drilled into that warmer embrace.

But he woke up immediately.

The girl's family was startled, jumped up, only to find that Fan Xian was already asleep next to her, put the heart back in her stomach, looked at the familiar face that she hadn't seen for a long time, and couldn't help but smile innocently and stick out her tongue.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

A string of extremely lively firecrackers sounded, waking up Fan Xian in his sleep, he muttered a few words in annoyance, but once he turned his arm he found that he was holding an empty space, and opened his eyes in wonder, but saw his wife shrinking in the corner of the chair, looking at himself.

Wan'er looked at Fan Xian in a daze, but after a while, she found that Sisi was also on the other side, and found that Fan Xian was awakened by firecrackers, and she felt embarrassed for a while, and her face was red with shame.

Fan Xian looked at his wife and smiled, grabbed the blue cloth package with one hand, and led her out of the carriage with the other, without saying anything in detail, but complained: "Which house marries a new bride? Why is it so lively?"

Wan'er covered her mouth and smiled, pointed to the gate of Fan's Mansion and said, "I also feel strange, it's our family that is firing guns, and I don't know what the happy event is." ”

Sisi also came down with a small personal package at this time, looking at the lively scene of people coming and going at the main gate of Fan's Mansion, red lights hanging high, and firecrackers ringing in unison, he was also taken aback, and said loudly: "Young master, young nǎinǎi, this is to welcome us back from Jiangnan?"

............ The convoy stopped at the gate of Fan's mansion, and Fan's mansion became lively, Fan Xian looked at this scene curiously, and couldn't help but grab Zheng Tuo, a Qingke who went out of the mansion to greet him, and asked, "Mr. Zheng, which one is this?"

Zheng Tuo laughed and said, "Young Master, you have sealed the Duke of Yubo today...... This is a great happy event, countless adults in the various ministries and pavilions come to say goodbye, and they are all waiting for you to come back in the house at this time. ”

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, then he thought that he had become a little grandfather, looked up at the circle of red cloth hanging on the plaque of Fan's mansion, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Lin Wan'er glanced at him in surprise and asked, "The prime minister has been crowned?"

Fan Xian nodded.

Lin Wan'er listened to this, her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, even the Sisi beside her was not exempt from vulgarity, and she was extremely elated, after all, in this world, she always pays attention to these, and a courtier can be crowned a prince at such a young age as Fan Xian, and where to put it, it is also a particularly glorious thing.

All the way in, there were officials who came to congratulate each other all the way, and Fan was busy returning the salute, so he had to let the daughter-in-law of the vine family come out, and first took Wan'er Sisi and those few maids into the inner house. The servants and servants of Fan's Mansion were even more chūn-faced, kneeling and kowtowing to Fan Xian repeatedly.

"Tip, tip. ”

There are rewards sent out all the way, of course Fan Xian is not distressed, but he feels that he is so happy?

Finally cleaned up the reasons for everything, sent the visitors away, the Fan Mansion family gathered in the flower hall in the garden, the Liu family sat next to Fan Jian, and there was a smile between his eyebrows, Si Sifu returned to the Fan Mansion, and was assigned a very honorable task to arrange the meal.

I think back then, in the past, this task was not in charge of the Liu family, which was equivalent to saying that the Fan Mansion had recognized Sisi's status.

Fan Jian's son and daughter-in-law said a few words, and then talked about Sisi's matter, anyway, it has already been done in Shanzhou, and the ancestor nodded, and he, the head of the Fan Mansion, will not say anything more.

After the meal was ready, there were no idle people in the flower hall, and Fan Sizhe, who had been holding back at home, finally ran out, saw his sister-in-law first, and sat next to Fan Xian, begging for benefits with a dead face.

Wan'er was taken aback, thinking that the little uncle was not in Northern Qi, why did he sneak back?

Fan Xian opened his mouth and scolded: "Isn't it just a broken title, it's worth it for you to be like this?"

Fan Sizhen shrunk his neck and said, "You don't want it...... How many grandfathers can there be in this world?"

Fan Xian smiled and said: "Then you won't ask me for a reward, you still have less money now?" I think in two years, my father and I will have to reach out to you for money." ”

Fan Sizhen smiled and said: "Silver can't buy the reputation of the eldest brother, you are going to be the prince in the future, when will you find a way to get a knighthood for my younger brother." ”

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that after the Baoyuelou case occurred last autumn, Si Zhe was issued a sea fishing document by the Criminal Department, and the title of dragoon lieutenant who he had obtained since he was a child was naturally removed.

But when he heard the word prince, Fan Xian still felt a little strange in his heart, he and his father glanced at each other, and they both knew the judgment in each other's hearts.

With Fan Xian's identity, the first-class duke will come to an end, and it is impossible to become a prince, unless...... How and how in the future.

The banquet suddenly fell silent, and Fan Sizhen also knew that there was something wrong with what he said, so he didn't dare to say anything nonsense. Wan'er looked at this scene, smiled coquettishly, and said to the little uncle: "Don't be busy leaving when you come back...... After eating, I played a few more laps with my father and mother. ”

Fan Sizhen heard that he was going to mahjong tiles, and it was his sister-in-law who mentioned yì, and suddenly his god shook, he had not met an opponent at the Northern Qi card table for more than a year, and he was going to play against his sister-in-law who was the second best player in the world tonight, which was called an excitement.

After ――――――――――――――――――――, there are not too many stories to tell, the two princes and the first family of people who were beaten are panicked, the eldest princess sits in the palace and doesn't know what she is thinking, Fan Xian only occasionally thinks of the prince's strange appearance on the Baoyue Tower, and he has some doubts, this prince, the rightful successor of the Qingguo Dragon Chair, the choice of coping method is naturally the best one...... But seeing the situation go like this, where does his certainty come from?

Fan Xian couldn't think about this clearly, and Fan Jian didn't think clearly, the prince dared to watch coldly like this, unless he had a big help at hand, but the eldest princess who originally supported him had already been picked out by Fan Xian and the second prince, why did the prince believe the words of the eldest princess again?

If you don't understand, you don't think about it anymore, because chūn still has to go back to Jiangnan in the coming year, and after the New Year's Festival, there are places like Chen Yuan, King Jing's Mansion, and the Great Prince's Mansion that must be visited, so taking advantage of the New Year's Eve, Fan Xian didn't go to the Supervision Yuan, nor did he enter the palace, but just honestly nested in Fan's Mansion, filial piety to his father who he hadn't seen for a year, and disciplined his younger brother who had been in the north for a long time.

The atmosphere of the family reunion is really good, but there is no Ruoruo and the ancestor of Shanzhou, at one point, Fan Xian once said to his father in private that his grandmother has never seen Si Zhe, is it necessary to find a time for Si Zhe to go back to Shanzhou.

Fan Jian thought about it, and it was indeed the same reason, so he asked Fan Xian to arrange it.

Just as the situation was developing in a peaceful manner, on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, an uninvited guest came to Fan's house.

This guest is the envoy of the Northern Qi Dynasty in Nanqing, and his identity is a little sensitive, but he specially reported in the Honglu Temple and boarded the gate of the Fan Mansion.

The envoy was respectful to Fan Xian, and conveyed his condolences to Fan Xian on behalf of the Northern Qi court, saying that the people of Northern Qi felt the same way, and were deeply unhappy with Xiao Fan.

After putting down a large pile of gifts, the envoy left the house, leaving only Fan Jianfan and Fan Xian, the two of them, looking at each other stupidly.

............ That night, someone came to Nanqing Honglu Temple, and a father-in-law also came to the inner court to explain to Fan Xian why the envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty would come to petition.

Originally...... The news of Fan Xian's assassination has reached the Northern Qi Dynasty, and for some reason, the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty actually personally repaired a private letter and sent it to the Emperor of Qingguo, expressing his concern about Fan Xian's assassination, and also expressed implicit criticism for the Qingguo court not paying attention to Fan Xian's personal safety.

Hearing this, Fan Xian gasped at the father-in-law and the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and scolded: "Blow a pool of chūn water, him...... Bird thing!"

Shaoqing of Honglu Temple and the father-in-law glanced at each other awkwardly, and comforted him with care: "What are the thoughts of the people of Northern Qi, we all understand, Lord Xiao Fan doesn't need to be too angry, what is the use of such dirty tricks?"

The father-in-law also smiled and said, "If they want to give a gift, you will follow." ”

After sending the two out of the house, Fan Xian hurriedly ran to the study and asked his father, "What do the people of Northern Qi want to do?

Fan Jian smiled bitterly: "There is one thing I have always forgotten to tell you, Your Majesty seems to have forgotten this stubble, when you went to Northern Qi, it was not in the imperial palace of Shangjing City, and you promised their emperor...... When you have time, you will go to their Taixue to give a lecture?"

Fan Xian thought about it seriously, it seemed that he really had such a sentence, but he didn't seem to agree, right?

Fan Jian sighed and said: "When you went to Jiangnan, the people of Northern Qi sent a document to Honglu Temple, saying that they hired you as a visiting professor of Taixue in Beijing...... His Majesty was just bored when the little emperor was bored, and he didn't take it seriously, where did he expect that the people of Northern Qi were actually waiting here, and now since you are a visiting professor of Taixue in Beijing, and you were assassinated in Nanqing, they expressed concern and anger, and it seems reasonable to say. ”

Fan Xian said bitterly: "At this time, what good will it do to them?"

Fan Jian raised his head, glanced at his son, shook his head and said, "Although it is a very crude method, some people with brains will not believe in this kind of provocation, but ...... After all, you can't hide your deeds with the people of Jiangnan and Northern Qi for the rest of your life, and under the accumulation of destruction, who knows if your majesty will suspect you in the future? They only need to give some gifts, bring two sentences, and lose some face, and they can take root and stab you in the throat, and this kind of business is a good deal. ”

Fan Xian frowned, feeling angry, and said, "Valley sniping...... The little emperor of Northern Qi was born in a section, and it seems that the imperial court will not continue to investigate. ”

Fan Jian glanced at him and said with a wry smile: "Originally, His Majesty didn't want to check, but now there is another reason for such a good use, how can you be willing not to use it?"

Fan Xian also smiled bitterly, and after a while, he said to his father seriously: "Father, on the first day of junior high school, I want to enter the ancestral hall. ”

Fan Jian was not so surprised, from the moment the emperor officially conferred the title of Duke of Fan Xian, he understood the emperor's thoughts, and just said calmly: "I want to enter the palace to ask about this matter." ”
