Hearing this, Yi Guifei shook her head helplessly, raised her green fingers, and gently rubbed her somewhat stuffy eyebrows, not knowing how to speak. Of course, she knew what Li Chengping's words meant, but as the concubine of His Majesty, she, an innocent woman, was able to sit in her current position safely, relying on the word quiet that the Liu family persuaded her before entering the palace, and she couldn't say anything in this chaos.

Today's palace has completely changed the pattern since three years ago, the queen mother died, the queen died, the eldest princess also died, and Concubine Shu was secluded in the cold palace. Yi Guifei, who gave birth to Li Chengping, and Ning Cairen, who gave birth to the eldest prince, in the Kyoto rebellion, as Fan Xian and the eldest prince bravely or forcibly stood on the position of His Majesty, the rebellion occurred, and the two nobles naturally rose, and Ning Cairen was promoted to the next level.

In the palace, Yi Gui Concubine and Ning Cairen are in charge, Yi Gui Concubine is good, Ning Cairen is a person who doesn't care about things, the palace is naturally a gentle drizzle, and it has been a good three years, but with the loud noise in the imperial study in front of the eight rì, the good rìzi has finally come to an end.

Because Ning Cairen bravely interceded for Dean Chen, he was demoted to the cold palace by His Majesty and went to be his companion with Concubine Shu - it was also thanks to her that she gave birth to a good son, otherwise with His Majesty's anger, I was afraid that directly giving death would be the best result.

Yi Guifei is now the only noble master in the palace, and the draft activity that started three years ago is naturally in her hands, and she also understands the real purpose behind this sudden draft better than the rest.

After the rebellion in Kyoto, His Majesty Xià also had two and a half sons, in addition to His Royal Highness who was far away in Dongyi City, the third prince Li Chengping, and half of the natural Fan Xian. Because of Chen Pingping's rebellion, Fan Xian and the emperor fell into a cold war, and no one knew how this matter would end in the future.

The two half-sons of Bisheng have completely learned the lessons of the crown prince and the second prince, and the relationship between them is extremely close, not to mention the friendship between His Royal Highness and Fan Xian, that is, the friendship between teachers and students between Fan Xian and the third prince, which is also stable beyond His Majesty's expectations.

Since the seventh year of Qingli, Fan Xian has entered the palace many times, but the contact with the three princes has become less, on the one hand, in the case of the three princes clearly becoming the prince, he wants to avoid suspicion, and secondly, the emperor Xià deliberately wants to weaken Fan Xian's influence on the three princes.

And even if Fan Xian is useless, he has a strength that is extremely admired by the world, that is, he can influence the people around him very much, so that the people around him can gather their hearts and minds, whether it is some close officials of the Supervision Yuan, or the four sons of Fan Men, or the descendants of the troops in Baoyue Tower, all prove this.

The third prince is his student, although after returning from Jiangnan, he has rarely met Fan Xian, but he has never forgotten Fan Xian's stick education for a while, and he has already changed from a slightly ruthless child to an introverted prince.

There is no jealousy between the three princes, if it is placed in the past, this is an extremely wonderful thing, after the rebellion in Kyoto three years ago, Emperor Qing introspected, presumably there is no interest in driving his sons crazy, but Chen Pingping conspired against the incident, so that this seemingly wonderful relationship, in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, is no longer so wonderful.

Yi Guifei knows this very well, if His Majesty no longer fully trusts Fan Xian, then he must be careful whether his sons will do something in a group, even if these three sons can't do anything, but if His Majesty really attacks Fan Xian, it chills everyone's hearts, when Chengping grows older day by day, what kind of situation will it be in the palace?

Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor wants to draft, and he wants more fertility opportunities in the palace, and then gives birth to a few sons for him.

Concubine Yi glanced at her son, her eyebrows were full of sorrow, and she sighed softly. Li Chengping didn't sigh, just gently held his mother's hand, there are many things in the palace, he has grown up like this since he was a child, watching his two elder brothers want to kill themselves for that chair, want to kill their father, and finally he was saved by the other two brothers, he has already discovered that if the palace is more peaceful, life will be much smoother.

But there has never been anything so good in the world. He knew that his relationship with Fan Fu was too deep, if his father no longer trusted Fan Xian, he was afraid that he would not feel at ease and simply hand over the world to himself and pick a show girl to enter the palace...... Is this in jǐng ti yourself? or in jǐng ti fan leisure?

"Mr. Ming is going to enter the palace to ask for peace, maybe things are not so bad. Li Chengping smiled a little reluctantly and comforted his mother.

"Fan Xian's kid, stubborn, who knows if he will enter the palace tomorrow. Yi Guifei smiled a little helplessly, she knew that even if Her Majesty wanted to have a few more sons to tell Shufang Palace and Fan Xian, but that would be a long time later, and the current Qingguo court had already been accustomed to Li Chengping being the future Emperor of Qingguo, even more stable than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back then, and it was impossible for His Majesty to interrupt the future he had been planning for a long time just because of his distrust of Fan Fu.

It's just that she really doesn't know what the real problem between His Majesty and Fan Xian is, is it the death of Old Dean Chen, or something else? If Fan Xianming is willing to admit his guilt and bow his head, as long as he can continue to live in Kyoto, his position of power in the future will naturally slowly recover, so where does Shufang Palace still need to worry about these show girls who were sent into the palace by the ministers and princes.

Yi Guifei's eyebrows frowned slightly, and a rare coldness suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she said: "If these little girls are safe, if they really rely on the little strength of their mother's family in the court, they want to make three twists and four in the palace, and the palace will not allow them." ”

After all, she is a woman who has been the nominal lord of the palace for three years, and when she presides over the draft, no matter how innocent she is, most of her innocent feelings have already been wiped out in this palace.

"I heard that as soon as those show girls entered the palace yesterday, they were driven out by their mothers. Li Chengping sincerely persuaded: "After all, it is the intention of your father, if you have done something obviously, I am afraid that my father will be unhappy." ”

"Your father is happy even if he knows, those little girls who don't have a little eyesight are ......" Yi Guifei sneered and said: "The dynasty has not been drafted for a long time, and there are no rules at all from Taichang Temple to the Ministry of Rites, and all kinds of people's daughters are sent to the palace." I don't know what they heard in their mother's house, as soon as they entered the palace, they sprinkled a lot of silver, but those palace maids and grandmothers probably haven't eaten this kind of silver for a long time, and they actually suffered it. ”

She looked at the three princes and said calmly: "As soon as those show girls entered the palace, they inquired about the situation in the palace, and the masters in the palace were not good at talking about anything, but when they talked about the one in the imperial study, they dared to say anything...... In the end, it is not a serious family in the minister's mansion, they are all old ministers who are about to collapse, and they don't know what kind of origin the Fan family's Liu Mansion is, and they naively think that the Fan Mansion is really losing power, but for some reason he won the favor of His Majesty, so he aimed the edge of those words at that ...... I don't know how ugly it is. ”

"I drove those three show girls out of the palace, not only to remind the rest of them, but also to save their families. Concubine Yi gently stroked the hair on the sideburns, and said quietly: "Not to mention what your majesty will be angry if she really hears such discussions, as long as these words reach Fan Xian's ears, you say that after the matter calms down, what will these beautiful girls be in the mansion will become." ”

Li Chengping finally couldn't help laughing and said: "If the recent situation really calms down, I'm afraid that my mother won't be able to add fuel and vinegar to my husband." ”

Concubine Yi opened her eyebrows and smiled: "This child is talking nonsense, where is the mother such a person." ”

Li Chengping scratched his head, and said again: "But my father always left Miss Fan in the imperial study, which is always unruly. ”

Yi Guifei smiled after being silent for a long time, and didn't say anything, in fact, she knew in her heart that the man who turned herself into a woman, the most powerful man in the world, would actually feel lonely, in his eyes, the women in the palace seemed to have something to ask for, maybe only the Miss Fan family, who had nothing to do with the palace, would make him really feel helpless.

What does Your Majesty like, that is, she likes the people next to her to have nothing to ask for herself, and when she thought of this, Yi Guifei's face was a little uneasy, and she looked at Li Chengping and said gently: "You don't go to the cold palace less, and your Majesty is not happy." ”

"Concubine Shu was beaten into the cold palace, but she is the biological mother of the second brother after all, and she treated our brothers not badly in previous years, and it has nothing to do with what the second brother did. Li Chengping explained in a low voice: "Now that Aunt Ning has also been beaten into the cold palace, I have to go and see." ”

Concubine Yi smiled and didn't say anything more, she knew that the reason why the third prince often visited the cold palace and gained a reputation for generosity in the palace also made His Majesty appreciate it with some surprise...... It's all because of Fan Xian's instructions, during the Kyoto rebellion three years ago, it is said that Fan Xian personally promised the dying second prince to take care of Concubine Shu for him.

............ The mother and son in the Shufang Palace whispered about the draft and the girl in the imperial study, and at the same time, the girl in the imperial study had already walked around with the injured Emperor Xià and was about to return to the imperial study.

As Yi Guifei said, His Majesty the Emperor just admired this woman, but he would not have any other ideas absurdly, he had already entered the realm of the great grandmaster, and he had already seen through the affairs of men and women. And on the way to walk, of course, His Majesty the Emperor would not talk to Fan Ruoruo about the draft, but just casually discussed the wind and rain in Kyoto, as well as Fan Xian's affairs.

Of course, most of the time, it was the emperor who was talking, Fan Ruoruo was listening, and the emperor was raised by the Fan family's grandmother, so he naturally had a natural affinity for the Fan family. The emperor has no daughters in his life, and since Lin Wan'er moved out of the palace, it seems that he can no longer find this kind of warm feeling.

The two of them were walking in front, and Eunuch Yao and a group of other people were nervously in the back, walking in the dark, and this team couldn't help but look a little ridiculous.

Just beside the stone gate that was about to turn to the right path in front of the imperial study, His Majesty the Emperor stopped his steps, looked at the eunuch who was bowing next to the stone gate, and asked after a long silence: "How is it to follow Gonggong Dai recently?"

This eunuch is the red man in the imperial study back then, Hong Zhu, after the matter of three years ago faded, he followed Dai Gonggong in the errand of the paperwork, and today he met the holy car at night, he waited on the side with complicated feelings, but he didn't expect His Majesty to suddenly say hello to him, he hurriedly replied with a trembling voice.

The emperor glanced at him with satisfaction, he liked this clever little eunuch very much, otherwise he would not let him follow him in the imperial study, and later sent him to the East Palace to be the chief eunuch, just because of some very coincidental things, Hong Zhu fell in, but Rao was so, the emperor still did not kill him.

Suddenly, the emperor's heart moved, thinking of the scene when he saw the wheelchair before, the scene when Fan Xian entered the palace, and the little eunuch pushing the wheelchair was Hong Zhu...... Gradually, a smile flashed in the emperor's eyes, remembering that Fan Xian's kid didn't seem to like this little eunuch very much before, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, so he opened his mouth and ordered: "From Ming Rì, go back to the imperial study." ”

Hong Zhu was overjoyed, knelt on the ground, and bowed his head vaguely in thanksgiving, but no one noticed a complicated look flashing in his lowered eyes.

The emperor waved his hand a little annoyed, and then entered the stone gate with Fan Ruoruo. The emperor suddenly said: "On a snowy and rainy day, I don't need to kneel, this is a rule that I have set since I ascended the throne, it is raining today, and the ground is still wet, so Hong Zhu does not need to kneel." ”

Fan Ruoruo glanced at Her Majesty in a slight daze, and she didn't know why Her Majesty was saying this.

"I ...... Isn't he really a good emperor?" was about to walk outside the imperial study, when the emperor suddenly stopped, very calm, but very serious and asked.

If there is a question, there must be an answer, and at this time, there is only Fan Ruoruo by his side, so he is naturally waiting for Fan Ruoruo to make a judgment. Fan Ruoruo's heart was slightly cold, and she secretly thought that she was not a great Confucian in the world, nor was she a scholar with a history like a rafter, how could she be qualified to judge such a big topic? However, the emperor did not take a step, but calmly waited for her to speak.

Fan Ruoruo was silent for a long, long time, remembering the scenes he had seen in the imperial study these days, as well as all the details in the palace, and thinking of the lives of the people of Qingguo in the prefectures and counties he had seen when he traveled around the world.

After all, she couldn't cover her eyes and sincerity, and after thinking for a moment, she lightly opened her lips and replied seriously: "Compared with the previous emperors, Your Majesty xià...... He is indeed a good emperor. ”

The emperor was silent for a moment, savoring Fan Ruoruo's reply, and after a while, he finally stretched his face, laughed, and the laughter echoed in the garden in front of the imperial study, under the eaves, and then collided with the palace wall, and then crashed back.

The eunuch Yao who followed behind was slightly stunned, not knowing what Miss Fan said, but it made His Majesty smile so happily, unprecedentedly happy, and for a while they had mixed feelings, and admired this Miss Fan family who was not very willing to speak.

Fan Ruoruo also smiled slightly, looking at the emperor beside her, her heart was filled with extremely complicated feelings, and at this time, she finally understood why Her Majesty would treat her so differently these days.

Concubine Yi may have guessed some, Fan Ruoruo had guessed some before, and Fan Xian's opinion was naturally not wrong, but the emperor left Fan Ruoruo in the palace, by his side, and in the imperial study, so that she could watch herself be seriously injured, but also to hold the national strength and be wise and martial...... Maybe it's just that after the conversation with Chen Pingping in the imperial study, His Majesty the Emperor needs someone to prove that he is a good emperor.

No matter what the old black dog in the wheelchair says, I am still a good emperor, am I? At this moment, His Majesty seemed to have finally made up his mind, and a confident and calm smile appeared on his face again, and he walked towards the imperial study.

............ "Xuan!"

"Xuan!"

"Xuantai learns to teach and practice Fan to enter the palace!"

It may be rough or sharp like a duck, but it is the same thing that comes out loud. The generals and soldiers of the forbidden army had solemn faces, did not squint, and let the young man in a green robe walk past them, but what did not match their calm faces was their nervous mood at this time.

Since Chen Pingping's rebellion and death in the palace court, nine rì have passed. When Lord Xiao Fan entered the Dharma field and defied His Majesty's authority, it had already shown Lord Xiao Fan's attitude on this matter. In the following years, the cold war between His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers of the Qingguo court developed to the point of reaching its peak, and the eyeliner of the inner court sprinkled outside the Fan Mansion died tragically, and according to the rumors above the officialdom, there was an assassination against Fan Xian somewhere three miles outside yesterday.

All in all, when the news of today's Emperor Xià decreed that Fan Xian was summoned to the palace to ask for peace was revealed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, although the current Qingguo was strong, but still did not want to bear the bloodshed that might be brought about by this pair of monarchs and ministers father and son.

This shows from another Cheng dù that even if Fan Xian no longer has an official position, the people of Qingguo in the court still think that if he really goes out, it will really cause a certain amount of harm to Qingguo. And it only took nine days for the cold war between His Majesty and Fan Xian to come to an end, which is really a thing to be thankful about.

In the eyes of Hu Daxue and others, there is no unsolvable problem between this pair of monarchs and ministers, father and son, it is nothing more than a fierce love, forcing out the stubbornness in the hearts of this pair of father and son, and no one is willing to give in first, and today the emperor His Majesty took this step first, which naturally means that the palace has taken a step back first, and presumably Fan Xian must also accept this affection.

In the cold air, Fan Xian silently followed Eunuch Yao, who was already the chief eunuch in the palace, and still played the humble role in front of him, but Fan Xian didn't have much interest in talking.

Although Fan Xian is now white, the only person who can be called a public official is this name, but it is still so harsh. In this urging, Fan Xian came to the imperial study, and was somewhat surprised to see Hong Zhu waiting outside the study. Fan Xian did not hide his surprise, nodded slightly, Hong Zhu saluted deeply, and no one could see the exchanges in the eyes of the two.

Entering the study and seeing his sister, Fan Xian's mood was slightly calm, and then he bowed deeply to the man on the soft couch, but he still stubbornly didn't say a word.

............ When Fan Xian rode back to Kyoto alone, until he left the court with Chen Pingping's corpse, he was stingy to give a glimmer of attention to the man in the imperial city, and after careful calculation, the emperor and him had not seen each other for several months.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at Fan Xian quietly, and was not surprised by the affection that Fan Xian showed at this time, he did not allow his courtiers to have any disobedience in front of him, but it did not mean that he could not accept his favorite son, and show his true affection or stubborn side in front of him.

The silence of the imperial study did not last long, Fan Ruoruo smiled slightly at the emperor's majesty, and then smiled at her brother, and then withdrew from the imperial study, she stayed here today, but her majesty wanted to let Fan Xian'an feel at ease, since this purpose was achieved, she naturally had to leave, leaving a quiet environment for the monarch and the ministers to speak.

"I've been wondering why I'm so lenient with you. The emperor looked at Fan Xian and said slowly, "Naturally, it's not because of the merits you have made for the Daqing Dynasty, but it wasn't until yesterday that I finally figured it out." ”

The emperor looked at him and said calmly: "I think, there is not much nonsense between you and me, there are some dossiers here, you can take a look." ”

In this story, it has been repeated countless times that Emperor Qing and Fan Xian are the two best powerful actors in the world, but in today's imperial study, Emperor Qing did not play anything, he just said these words very directly.

The words were very simple, but Fan Xian understood the hidden meaning inside, and he knew that the case in front of him was nothing more than evidence that Chen Pingping had presided over the murder of himself, such as the Hanging Temple, such as the valley, and something related to separation.

According to the arrangement of the dead old man, Fan Xian should perform surprise and sadness at this time, and then return to His Majesty's side, but I don't know why, seeing Emperor Lao Tzu's confident and elegant expression at this time, he felt infinite anger, and that anger made him sad and heartbroken, and he didn't want to continue acting at all.

Fan Xian raised his head and looked straight at the most familiar and strangest man, and did not move for a long time.
