Even though Wang Yu'er blocked the main gate of the palace and scolded him for a long time, the prince still perfectly maintained the image of a mature man, and he never said a cruel word to the young girl after talking to Fan Xian so far. You must know that although the other party is the daughter of the governor of Yanjing, the eldest prince is an authentic prince, and the gap between his identities can completely allow 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 to reprimand the girl bastard, but just frowned and said, "Who knows what you are doing with her as a student?"

"I don't believe you wouldn't have guessed. Fan Xian said with a smile: "Of course, I am worried that after the palace already has a tigress, there will be another cheetah." If I can teach this young lady of the Wang family to be knowledgeable and polite, and the rules are beneficial, what are you afraid of if you bring her in?"

Going around, Fan Xian was still persuading the eldest prince to accept the side concubine, and the eldest prince said slightly angrily: "I really don't know where your usual admirable eyes have gone, and you actually said that this yellow-haired girl is a good choice." ”

"What's wrong?" Fan smiled and said, "You don't need me to remind you, you should also know that your foundation is in the army." She is Wang Zhikun's daughter, if you take her as a side concubine, the relationship with the military will definitely be closer. Don't forget that although your prestige in the military is high, the Western Expeditionary Army has long been dispersed, and it is impossible for you to return to Dingzhou, and the position of the commander of the forbidden army has also been removed. ”

"That's what my father meant. The eldest prince's expression cooled and said, "I didn't expect that your abacus was as loud as your father's." ”

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows, sat down straight, and said: "Everyone can see the meaning of His Majesty clearly - there is always a woman entering the palace, always keeping an eye on the position of the princess. If you don't want the princess to be deposed, then it's better to let Wang Yu'er enter the palace than others. ”

The eldest prince stared at him suspiciously, wondering why Fan Xian's meaning would change so much, and resolutely believed that Wang Yu'er was the best choice, you must know that Wang Yu'er had a very deep background behind her, and there was a military Yanjing faction to support her, coupled with His Majesty's secret letting go, once this woman entered the mansion, she would definitely immediately threaten the status of the princess.

"The reason why I say that Wang Yu'er is a good choice is because this girl's family really likes you. Fan Xian said: "And although this young lady's xìng grid is a little more vicious, she is a girl who takes the route of slashing and killing, such a person seems to be troublesome, but it is actually easier to deal with...... You don't want the side concubine of Xinna in the palace to be as weak as the eldest princess back then, but in fact she is extremely powerful in yīn. ”

The eldest prince thought about it and found that this was indeed the truth, Wang Yu'er, who dared to come to the palace to make trouble before the will of the palace was issued, was indeed not a woman who took the route of yīn. It's just that he thought about it again and again, and still frowned and said: "But she is just a fifteen-year-old yellow-haired girl, and she is not sensible at all, what if she makes trouble with a kitchen knife every day after entering the palace?"

"What His Majesty means, we can't resist clearly. Fan Xian looked into his eyes and persuaded softly: "But we can try to deal with it in a different way, as for whether Wang Yu'er will make trouble in the future, it depends on how well I, the teacher, teaches, and how well the two of you deal with it." ”

He took a sip of tea, and suddenly felt that his heart was getting harder and harder, and after laughing at himself, he said: "It's still the same old saying, Wang Yu'er likes you, so as long as she enters the palace, she must regard you as the sky." A person is not satisfied, mainly depending on what her desires are. If she were a young lady from another family, she might not be satisfied if she wasn't a princess, but I think Wang Yu'er, probably marrying you, she will be satisfied. ”

The eldest prince glanced at him noncommittally, and said lightly: "Why do you judge the thoughts of a daughter's family so much?

"I'll come, I'll come. Fan Xian shrugged his shoulders and said: "Regarding the thoughts of his daughter's family, there is no second man in this world who knows better than me, and you have to have confidence in me." ”

The eldest prince was stunned, thinking that Fan Xian's words were not a big deal, just looking at the stone book, I don't know how many little girls were killed, and then looking at the glorious achievements of his life, not only did he lose his heart to the death of his favorite sister Chen, but even the saint of Northern Qitian was lost and depressed, so he knew that his judgment must be reasonable.

"I just don't understand why Miss Wang has to keep an eye on me, you must know that we only met when Shi Fei was at the banquet. The eldest prince stared at Fan Xian and said, "I like it when I see it, if the object is a monster like you, there is a little possibility." ”

"Women and men are two creatures. Fan Xian patted him on the shoulder with pity and said, "If you don't understand, don't think about it." ”

The eldest prince spat in some annoyance, and immediately thought of a question: "You are such a busy minister, of course, it is not just because of me that you accept Wang Yu'er as a female student. ”

Fan Xian laughed a little embarrassedly, and said: "You understand everything, what else are you asking? You must know that I am different from you, I have nothing but black horses at hand, and it is not wrong to have a better relationship with the military elders, I don't want a second old Qin family who hates me to the bone in the future." ”

The eldest prince was stunned, then sighed and said: "The girl of the Ye Chong family has always listened to you, and now you don't even let go of Wang Zhikun's daughter, it's really ......."

That sounds awkward. Fan Xian rubbed his nose and scolded with a smile: "I'm not a beast, these two are your brothers' insiders, you can't talk nonsense." ”

"But they're all your schoolgirls. With a deep smile, the eldest prince said: "In addition, Hongcheng is in Dingzhou, although my father has always strictly forbidden you to participate in the military, but if you calculate it, you will soon have a relationship with the three-way army, and your abacus is no worse than that of your father." ”

"You underestimate me, although the guy Bingyun once said that I seem to be conquering women and conquering the world through guò in my life...... But with the strength of the two border armies and the Ye family, I won't be stupid enough to use two female students to influence anything. Fan Xian laughed, "But I want to make the relationship with the military better." ”

When he said this, Fan Xian's mood was actually a little complicated, he came to Kyoto, entered the complicated Kyoto officialdom, and affected the general trend of the world for five years, but his efforts to reach out to the Qing ** side have all fallen into the void without exception. Although His Majesty's precautions against him seem to have faded a lot, and Li Hongcheng, who was good friends with him, was appointed as the general of Dingzhou, if Fan Xian really wanted to break his forces into the army, it would still be extremely difficult.

For example, the Jiaozhou Sailor, Fan Xian once used the help of Xu Maocai, and gradually arranged for his cronies to enter, ready to wait for the old Qin family to defect, and secretly take over the strength of the Jiaozhou Sailor, but he didn't expect that His Majesty did not let go of this subtle change at all, and directly knocked Xu Maocai to the mortal dust - although for Fan Xian's sake, the emperor was extremely merciful to leave Xu Maocai's life, but the entire Jiaozhou Sailor was getting farther and farther away from Fan Xian's palm.

And Hou Jichang, who Fan Xian has been staying in Jiaozhou, has also done two years of useless work and wasted a lot of time because of this incident.

Hou Jichang is the person Fan Xian admires the most among the four sons of Fan Men, so he entrusted Jiaozhou to him, but he didn't expect Fan Xian to make a mistake, but he hurt this Kyoto genius who was as famous as He Zongwei back then, and now he can only survive in remote Jiaozhou.

The fact that the emperor has no trust in Fan Xian's favor is still preventing him from entering the military, this fact makes Fan Xian's heart a little drummed, I don't know if the emperor knows something, or because of the Chun incident more than 20 years ago, the emperor often has nightmares, and Xu Mao is the old man of the Quanzhou sailor back then, so he still has some jǐng for Fan Xian's son.

"You need to have a good relationship with the military, and I don't need to. ”

The eldest prince's words pulled Fan Xian out of his contemplation, and he smiled a little reluctantly and said, "But you need to maintain a good relationship with Your Majesty." As for me, as long as His Majesty does not obstruct me, not only do I want to have a good relationship with the military, but Wang Zhikun, a military elder, also wants to be good friends with me, and I accept his daughter as a student, but I am afraid that he will wake up laughing happily in the middle of the night. ”

The eldest prince raised his eyebrows, knowing that Fan Xian was telling the truth, today's Qingguo, purely in terms of power and position, there is no one more beautiful than Fan Xian, plus everyone knows that he is the flesh and blood of His Majesty the Emperor of Qingguo and the hostess of the Ye family back then, with this relationship, all the ministers and generals will subconsciously slap him.

After the two of them said this, they fell silent at the same time, the eldest prince thought a little helplessly, it seems that the matter of accepting the concubine is difficult to solve, but Fan Xian is thinking, when will the deepest suspicion of the emperor Lao Tzu in the palace be eliminated?

"Tell me about the West. The eldest prince suddenly frowned and said: "What is going on with the Hu people, there must be a reason for the great increase in strength in the past two years." ”

"You'll know in two days. Fan Xian had long known that the eldest prince would not be able to help but ask this question, the eldest prince had been fighting in the west for many years, and he was extremely familiar with that grassland, and the Hu people who killed him were screaming, if it weren't for His Majesty's worries that the eldest son's merits would be no longer sealed, he would not have been transferred back three years ago. Although the eldest prince has already returned to Beijing, his heart is still floating on the grassland from time to time, and he is naturally very concerned about the situation there.

Seeing that he refused to answer, the eldest prince shook his head helplessly, and said: "Hongcheng has become more and more prosperous in the past two years, but the Hu people are ruthless and bloodthirsty, you need to remind a little." ”

After Fan Xian nodded, he suddenly frowned and asked seriously: "I, Qingguo, have been fighting with Xihu for decades, and every time it seems that they have a big advantage, they can completely solve the problem by seeing it, why is it that every time the power of the Hu people is like a weed after the wind, it grows again?"

The eldest prince has a very say in this issue, and said: "That's because the grassland is too big, from the southern edge of the heavenly vein to the west, the endless prairie doesn't know the boundary at all, once I Daqing has an absolute advantage, they will go to the west, where can it be completely solved." ”

"But this time, I found that the Xihu Royal Court is not particularly far away from Dingzhou City. Fan Xian asked puzzled.

The eldest prince glanced at him with a slight sneer, and said, "The royal court of the Hu people is not Kyoto, nor is it Shangjing, and by the time we fought over, they had already moved into the depths of the grassland...... It was only now that the Hu people were prosperous, and they dared to move the royal court to a place not far from the border. ”

"Not to mention that I fought against the Hu people in the west in those years, but more than 20 years ago, my father led the army of the whole country to the grassland, intending to sweep away the Hu people in one fell swoop, but unfortunately in the end it still fell short. The eldest prince said with some regret: "The strength of the whole country, the king's personal war, with the genius military talent of my father, still can't conquer the Hu people in one fell swoop, let alone us." ”

When Fan Xian heard that more than 20 years ago, when Emperor Qing led the prince to march in person, his face was already solemn, and he did not answer, because he remembered clearly that in that western expedition, his father Fan Jian was also in the camp, and in that period of rì, a shocking change occurred in Kyoto, this change ended a woman's life, and also allowed himself to get a second life, in the arms of the blind uncle, in the carriage, went to Shanzhou.

The eldest prince didn't notice Fan Xian's somewhat strange expression, and said slowly: "At that time, Lao Shan was at the beginning of his funeral, and the Hu people were in civil strife, which was the best opportunity for me to celebrate, which is really a pity...... And the most puzzling thing is that at that time, Ye Shuai was ordered to hand over the garrison of Kyoto and personally served as the vanguard of the army, and the Jīng Rui cavalry had already embellished the Xihu royal court, as long as the battalion where the father was located held on for three more years, he could wipe out the princes and nobles of Xihu, but at this time, the army suddenly stopped the pace of westward expansion and retreated to the border, which left a breath for the Xihu people. ”

After Fan Xian was silent for a long time, he raised his face and smiled at the eldest prince and said, "The reason for the withdrawal of the army is very simple, presumably at that time, His Majesty already knew the news of the death of my mother. ”

The eldest prince's heart trembled, and then he thought of the important event that had been sealed for many years, looking at Fan Xianqiang's smiling face, the eldest prince felt pity in his heart, and did not continue this topic.

After a while, the eldest prince coughed, turned the topic back to the beginning, and said, "Concubine Na really can't stop it?"

"No one dared to resist the decree, and all those who dared to fight against His Majesty did not end well. ”

"Wang Yu'er is really a good choice?"

"At least at the moment I don't see a better option. ”

"That'...... What can I say to the princess?"

Fan Xian laughed and said, "You don't need to think about this problem, the princess naturally has a way to clean up a little girl." ”

Just as he was saying this, someone outside reported that the princess and Miss Wang had come over. The eldest prince and Fan Xian glanced at each other and smiled bitterly. After the two women entered, Fan Xian stood up and saluted, observing the expressions on the faces of the two people imperceptibly, and nodded secretly in his heart.

The princess is still as calm and graceful as usual, but Wang Yu'er's face is slightly red and shy, not like before, it seems that after being driven to the princess by Fan Xian, 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, and she had already made up her mind before the decision of her two big men, and was forced to make a seemingly concessionary choice in order to ensure her own interests.

It seems that there is no need for the prince to persuade the princess in embarrassment, but the princess to persuade the princess to focus on the overall situation, and not to disobey the will of the father in the palace. Fan Xian smiled, squinted at the princess, and said a few words of gossip lightly, and the princess also smiled, and the two of them knew what the other party was thinking.

In the Kyoto Rebellion, the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty intended the eldest prince to take over the throne, so through the Jinyi Wei spy sent by the princess, he secretly revealed Fan Xian's whereabouts to the eldest princess, and almost killed Fan Xian. But Fan Xian knew that this matter had nothing to do with the princess, and for the sake of the relationship between the eldest prince and his wife, he never said this to the eldest prince, but after all, he and the princess still had some pimples in their hearts, so in the past two years, there was no too deep contact.

The princess has always felt guilty about Fan Xian in her heart, and it is not until now that the two of them look at each other like foxes and smile, and they have turned those past into chūn style, without a trace.

After a few words of gossip, Fan Xian was about to get up and say goodbye, he took Miss Wang into the palace, of course, he wanted to take the other party out, after all, there was no marriage in the palace, and the national customs of Qingqing were open again, if Wang Yu'er, a who was allowed to wink at the eldest prince, it would be too ugly to spread out.

The princess pretended to stay for dinner, but her eyes flashed with a clear light. Wang Yu'er was stupid and really didn't want to leave, and looked at Fan Xian pitifully.

"Let's go. Fan Xian said.

"Master, where are you going?" Wang Yu'er raised her head, looked at him in surprise, and said naturally.

Wang Yu'er's eyes were full of annoyance, and she refused to speak.

Fan Xian immediately sank his face. Wang Yu'er didn't know why, but she was naturally extremely afraid of Lord Fan, so she subconsciously stood up, gritted her teeth and followed Fan Xian out of the house.

Walking on the road, Fan Xian had already seen the light in the princess's eyes, looked at Wang Yu'er beside him, and couldn't help but shake his head, although this Miss Wang family was extremely rude, but if she really entered the palace, where could she be the princess's opponent, I am afraid that there will not be too many good people to live in the future, fortunately, Wang Yu'er's background is strong enough, and it must not be too miserable, and the prince is not that kind of person.

The two of them came to the main gate of the palace after a while, and they didn't know what spell Fan Xian used, and said a few words to this unruly woman.

The main gate of the palace opened, and the butler sent it out, and then hurriedly closed the door like a ghost. Fan Xian was stunned for a moment and then scolded with a smile, thinking that he had also become a pond fish, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Wang Yu'er's face full of anger, and was about to scold the housekeeper, so his face sank and he snorted.

Wang Yu'er immediately felt the coldness beside her, shivered, quickly stopped, walked down the steps honestly, and said something to the old butler with whip marks on his face unusually unaccustomedly.

The old housekeeper was frightened, thinking to himself when did his young lady turn xìngzi? The generals of the Wang family's historian next to him were also frightened, thinking that Master Xiao Fan was said to be a student of Master Fei Jie, and he didn't give Miss some kind of medicine to make Miss look like this.

Wang Yu'er is like a little white rabbit at this time.

Everyone at the gate of the palace looked at Fan Xian like a fairy, thinking that Lord Xiao Fan really lived up to his reputation, no wonder His Majesty asked him to pretend to be a prince a few years ago to teach the three princes, this kind of teaching and educating people is really a bit amazing.

The housekeepers of the Wang family saluted Fan Xian with great gratitude, and then left the main gate of the palace with their young lady, Fan Xian watched the pedestrian disappear into the street, then shook his head and boarded his carriage.

Although Mu Feng'er is now the leader of the Qi Nian group, he is still the young man who did the good thing back then, swallowed his saliva, and asked Xiaoyi: "My lord, what happened......?" How did it come to this?"

"It's simple. Fan Xian sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, "If she is not obedient, I will spank her, and I will let the prince marry another woman, I am the Zhengqing of Taichang Temple, how can she not believe it?"

"So stupid?" Mu Feng'er said disdainfully, everyone knows that it is a matter of His Royal Highness's concubine, where is the matter that Taichang Temple Zhengqing can have the final say, and this matter must be nodded by His Majesty the Emperor.

"If you're not stupid, how can the princess let her enter the palace. Fan Xian closed his eyes and muttered, feeling tired, he didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing anymore, if it wasn't for his good relationship with the eldest prince, he should have gone to the palace to hand over the envoy at this time, and then went back to his house to tease his children.

—————————————————— half an hour had passed, and there was still no movement in the imperial study. The eunuchs were a little helpless to stay outside the room, and Eunuch Yao glanced at the sheep nǎi and small snacks held by the person beside him, and found that everything was almost cold, and couldn't help frowning.

The little eunuch looked at the door of the imperial study, and thought to himself who His Majesty was talking to, and he had been talking for so long. Eunuch Yao also glanced at the door, thinking that it was better not to disturb the father and son.

Except for the new little eunuch, the people around were not surprised by the current situation. His Majesty rarely summoned his courtiers alone for more than a quarter of an hour, but Lord Xiao Fan was an exception.

In the past two years, whenever Xiao Fan entered the palace, His Majesty the Emperor would always chat with him in the imperial study for more than half an hour, not only limited to state affairs, but even a few times Eunuch Yao heard His Majesty and Fan Xian arguing about the names of the two children of the Fan family.

With this honor and this favor, there is only one Fan Xian in the whole world.

The situation in the imperial study was different from what the eunuchs thought. His Majesty, Emperor Qingguo, looked at Fan Xian, who was sitting in his hand, and asked: "I have made up my mind, Wang Yu'er always wants to enter the palace, you don't have to worry about these idle things...... Speaking of marriage, some time ago, Bingyun had already married that woman, when are you going to explain it to me?"

Fan Xian's eyes changed slightly, and he quickly lowered his head to cover up.
