Hong Zhu didn't expect that even Lord Tisi knew his name, and his face suddenly felt a little bright, and he responded: "Exactly, it's hard for Lord Tisi to know the little name." ”

"Your Majesty's close attendant is the key point. Fan Xian said: "This official is the director of the Supervision Yuan, of course, we must be careful to take precautions...... What's more, among the little eunuchs in the Taiji Hall a few days ago, there was a famous assassin......"

Hong Zhu was startled and didn't dare to answer. Fan Xian said gently: "Since Your Majesty believes in you, this official naturally believes in you too...... By the way, I heard that Lao Dai is doing hard labor now?"

Hong Zhu glanced at him and said tentatively, "Yes, it's miserable." ”

"Hmm. Fan Xian nodded, "I'm not afraid of any taboos, I've dealt with Lao Dai, he is a good person, and the little father-in-law is in the palace, please help take care of one or two." ”

Hong Zhu was overjoyed, a month ago, he was counting on being able to climb the door of the young official in front of him through Dai's father-in-law, since the other party said so, it was a play, and he hurriedly responded respectfully: "You order, where do you dare not do it." ”

Fan Xian smiled and said: "I'm tired of my little father-in-law, if there is anything difficult at home in the future, tell me." He doesn't need to say it too clearly, the other party should also know to contact him through Yi Guifei.

......

......

When I returned to the Shufang Palace where Yi Guifei lived, it was a big coincidence, and the eldest princess of Northern Qi, who had not had a chance to face each other since September, also came back from the palace of the Queen Mother, and the eldest princess arranged to live in this palace before she got married. She looked at Fan Xian in a wheelchair and was slightly surprised, but it was inconvenient for the two of them to say anything, so they bowed slightly. He retreated to the back.

Concubine Yigui glanced at Fan Xian: "I came back from the north all the way, why is it so strange?"

Fan Xian never forgets to pull allies and plant nails, where is he willing to let go of such an important role as Princess Celestia. It's just that of course you have to pretend to be unfamiliar in front of everyone, and respond: "The identity is different, let's talk about it...... Men and women should be treated differently. ”

Yi Guifei teased: "You child, you are more handsome than a beautiful woman...... I am not afraid that you will harm others, but I am afraid that others will provoke you. ”

Fan Xian was startled and said, "Auntie, don't talk nonsense. Turning his head, he saw that the third prince was still there calmly copying books and pretending to be well-behaved, but for some reason, he was angry, shook his head and asked, "The Queen Mother really agreed to this?"

There was a tone of disbelief in the words. Concubine Yi looked at him and nodded, and said with a smile: "I only listened to His Majesty's permission today." But...... This is a good thing, how could the old ancestor object?"

Fan Xian laughed at himself, thinking that things were not so simple. After thinking for a while, he said seriously: "I'll go to Jiangnan, and Xiao San'er will follow me...... Are you willing to do it?"

"Jiangnan water is good, people are good, and things are good, why is there anything to be reluctant to?"

Yi Guifei suddenly beckoned him to come closer. Fan Xian leaned over, only a foot away from her. As if to smell the breath of the noble lady spewing out of the earth-like orchid, I heard her lower her voice, gritted her teeth and said, "The farther away you are from the palace with him, the better." It's better to drag on for a few years. ”

Fan Xian was slightly stunned, only to know that Yi Guifei was doing such a negative plan, shook his head and said: "It's not a matter to retreat...... Besides, Jiangnan Neiku doesn't need to spend any effort, I just go over to take a look, and I can't keep dragging it out. ”

Concubine Yi thought about it and found that this was indeed the truth, and sighed with some disappointment: "This is true, Your Majesty will not allow you to be in Kyoto all the time." ”

Fan Xian thought about it. comforted: "San'er is still young after all, it's not worth worrying about so early...... Besides, the Queen Mother is looking at these grandsons in the palace, and those few don't dare to do things that are too out of line......" He paused and then said: "After all, we are different from the other palaces, Shang Shuxiang still has some strength to speak, and my father will not retreat for a while...... Isn't it me?"

With this sentence, Yi Guifei finally put her mind at ease, with the current development trend, Fan Xian's influence in the court will only increase, and the palace in the court is often two independent circles with two influences, as long as there are people in the court, she and Li Chengping's mother and son will have a much easier time in the palace.

Speaking of which, everyone has already pointed out very thoroughly - in the opinion of Yi Guifei, who has retained a little bit of gratification and honesty, for the sake of her children, the tighter she is tied to the Fan family, the better.

"Let San'er go down to Jiangnan with me...... There's one thing you have to give me. Fan Xian glanced at the third prince who was eavesdropping, but couldn't hear anything.

"What's the matter?" Seeing what he said seriously, Concubine Yi also became nervous.

"I don't know how to be a gentleman, like those protégés in the state and county, you know, they were created by themselves for ten years. Fan Xian said seriously: "I can only teach His Highness as a younger brother...... There will inevitably be some disrespectful times. ”

Listening to the words "like a younger brother", Concubine Yi opened her eyebrows and laughed, she couldn't imagine the tragic situation of Fan Sizhen in the north now, and nodded again and again.

Fan Xian looked at her like a fairy, wondering how this person was so happy as if he had won the Mark Six lottery......? Self-Possibility...... Sometimes...... Yes...... Do it. ”

"It's up to you to move your feet!" Yi Guifei said very directly, and said with a smile: "As long as you don't make a three-long and two-short, it's up to you how you knead it." ”

She then sighed and said, "You don't know, the matter of that building a few days ago scared me a lot, I only know that he has a good relationship with the second child on weekdays, who knows the second child...... The one who killed a thousand knives actually asked Ping'er to do that, Ping'er knew something at such a young age, and he wasn't used as a knife...... Fortunately, you suppressed this matter quickly, otherwise I don't know what Your Majesty would be angry. ”

Fan Xian smiled secretly, thinking that your son is not a good master, although he is only eight years old, he doesn't know how complicated the things in his head are, and listened to Concubine Yi whispered: "Discipline him honestly...... Even if it becomes the useless Jing Wang Ye in the future...... At least seek a lifetime of good health. ”

Fan Xian listened to these words, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, only mother is good in the world, and this lyric is really not wrong. A child without a mother is like a grass, and his own life experience also proves the correctness of this lyric.

......

......

It was still early for dinner, and there was no news in the Queen Mother's Palace, so Fan Xian was quiet. Just stayed in Shufang Palace and chatted with Yi Gui Concubine without a match, the two are relatives, and they can avoid it less. And in the entire Liangqin Palace, it seems that only Yi Gui Concubine still has some ...... in the palace Human.

"Slave and maid, see Lord Chen. ”

With the tender salute of the palace maids in the outer compartment, Lin Wan'er rubbed her two little hands and walked in, today she was wearing a jade-colored layered skirt, and her upper body was a big red silk jacket, and the cuffs were tightly decorated with two fox furs, which were fluffy and cute.

Fan Xian sat in a wheelchair and stretched out his hands.

Wan'er stepped forward and placed her hand in his warm palm. The action is so natural.

Fan Xian gently rubbed the girl's somewhat cool little hand, and asked curiously, "That's it?" The color of this body is somewhat similar to red and green, but the red is deep and vivid. The jade is full of nobility, and it is much more pleasing to the eye when she wears Wan'er, but when you enter the palace for dinner, you should always wear it gorgeously.

Lin Wan'er pouted and said, "I've been waiting for you at home for a long time, and I haven't seen anyone coming...... Later, Su Wenmao called someone over and said something. I only knew that you were announced into the palace, and I took Dabao back to the house, but I just arrived at the door. was stopped by the eunuchs...... Pull to the palace, first go to see the Queen Mother, fortunately, several ladies are waiting in the Queen Mother's Palace, no need to worship in each palace, just say a few words to see you. Rushed along the way, where to have time to change clothes. ”

"By the way, what about Dabao?" Fan Xian was most concerned about his stupid brother-in-law.

"Don't worry, if you're at home. Lin Wan'er took the hot towel handed over by the palace maid and wiped two handfuls indiscriminately. sat down next to Yi Guifei, smiled sideways and said, "What are you talking about?"

Concubine Yi didn't rush to reply, she first trained the palace maid a few words, and let the county lord wipe her face with a hot towel on this cold day, and she was not afraid of staying for a while and going out to be stirred up by the cold wind, so she turned around and said His Majesty's arrangements with a smile.

Lin Wan'er glanced at Fan Xian in surprise: "This is decided?"

Fan Xian nodded, shrugged, helpless, dragging his family, it seems that the future trip to Jiangnan will be very exciting.

A eunuch came to spread the word and invited the five nobles in Shufang Palace to go to Hanguang Hall for dinner. Yi Guifei hurriedly took the third prince to the back compartment to freshen up, and also dressed herself.

Looking at this vacancy, Fan Xian lowered his voice and asked, "What did you want to tell the Queen Mother...... How?"

Lin Wan'er looked around, shook her head, and said softly: "You want to withdraw from the marriage, why didn't you discuss this matter with me earlier...... Suddenly made such a come, how could the Queen Mother allow it. Besides, I'm a junior after all, so it's a bit rude to say this. ”

Fan Xian sighed: "If you don't like it, what can I do as a brother." But this thing does tell you that it is late, and I am also thinking about taking advantage of the matter of Baoyue Tower, Hongcheng is making the palace unhappy, and he took the opportunity to do this, where did he think it would be so troublesome. ”

"Your Majesty refers to marriage, how can you say that you will retreat. Wan'er frowned, "You're too spoiled." ”

Fan Xian smiled and said: "Just such a sister, who spoils her if I don't spoil her?"

"I think my father-in-law has to come to the palace. Wan'er stared at the back compartment to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then said softly: "Let the master tell Your Majesty directly, the two of us are not enough." ”

Fan Xian said distressedly: "Although the two families have made such a fuss, my father really likes Hongcheng." Even Hongcheng visits the Qinglou every day, he doesn't think it's a big deal, he always says that he has watched him grow up since he was a child, and the two families have a close relationship, so he can't let the two families be separated because of the second highness. ”

Lin Wan'er burst out laughing: "My father-in-law was the most famous person in Liujinghe back then, of course I didn't think it was a big deal. When the words came out, I felt that it was a little inappropriate for my daughter-in-law to make fun of my father-in-law, so I smiled and covered it.

Fan Xian was anxious about his sister's affairs, and he didn't laugh at this, and there was helplessness between his eyebrows. If you have earned some reputation in the Tai Hospital these days, I hope that Haitang can handle it well, at least delay the marriage for a while.

"Why did Uncle announce that you entered the palace?" Lin Wan'er asked the question she really cared about, "I think it's probably not just the third child's business. ，

Fan Xian looked at his wife quietly, suddenly reached out and gently stroked her smooth chin, and smiled. Didn't say anything. Do you want to tell her that your dearest uncle let your dearest husband do everything he can, just to make your own mother ...... Destitute?

Fortunately, at this time, Yi Guifei and the others had already dressed up and come out. The cotton curtain was lifted. The hall suddenly felt bright, Fan Xian turned around to take a look, only to see Yi Guifei and the princess of Northern Qi hand in hand, the two women in the ornaments and makeup skillfully depicted the waiter, the face is brilliant, the eyebrows are picturesque, dignified and noble, he couldn't help but praise in his heart, the so-called jewelry, but so,

Princess Celestia looked at him and smiled. But he stepped forward and walked out of the hall side by side with Wan'er, who he had already known.

The winter solstice is as big as the year, and on this day, the whole country is resting. The court stopped, the army rested, the side closed, and the business travel was closed, not only in Kyoto. In fact, including the Northern Qi Dynasty in the far north, they are all living a happy little life in peace and quiet on this day.

Qingguo customs, on the day of the winter solstice, you should eat meat. In the streets of Kyoto's houses, countless hot mist floated up from the spacious and cramped kitchens, circled around the top of the various urns and pans three times, and then found the only way to survive, and drilled through the cracks between the window towers. These hot mist are filled with the spicy smell of dried chili peppers, the smell of fresh meat, the peculiar smell of medicinal herbs, and the sweet aroma of jib, all of which are mixed with four flavors. It is incomparably wonderful, permeating the streets and alleys outside countless courtyards, making everyone who hears it salivate.

In the Hanguang Palace, after the table at the end, Fan Xian stared at a pair of confused eyes, looking at the meat with the tips of his chopsticks cut into the shape of ears, and looking at the mushroom flowers and precious vegetables floating in the white soup in the bowl, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart - the meat in this palace is really different from the folk, the workmanship is much more exquisite, but it also lacks the warmth of the incense.

How can you eat without tofu and jib? The biggest problem is that the meat is already warm, and your lips are numb when you can't burn it.

So he just barely finished the bowl of soup, picked the chopsticks sauce and mixed the rice, chewing very slowly and carefully, delaying the time of this boring "family banquet". He looked at his nose, his nose and his lips, and his lips with chopsticks, extremely concentrated, but he did not linger outside, quietly listening to the conversations of these royal personnel in the hall, and did not interject a word, lonely like the lonely wheelchair not far behind him.

Hanguang Hall is the palace of the Queen Mother, is the most extensive building in the harem, although it is too simple compared with the palace of the loser son of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but it is still magnificent, reflecting the candle like the sun, shining the furnishings and utensils in the winter palace.

The children of the royal family in the hall ate silently, not daring to look directly at the old woman at the top, as well as the emperor and empress beside the old woman. Today's winter solstice, people are neatly arranged, including King Jing's family of three, as well as the second prince who was under house arrest have all entered the palace, but when the second prince and Hongcheng saw Fan Xian come in, they were only slightly surprised, and they did not rush up like a shrew to live or die.

Fan Xian glanced at the old woman on the front seat with his spare eyes, this was the first time he saw the queen mother, from the wrinkles of the other party's eyebrows, it seemed that he could still smell the old woman's methods and hard heart, although the tiger was old and sick, she was still sitting at the top, and even the presumptuous Lord Jing seemed much more honest.

People are not familiar with it, but he is familiar with this palace, when he first played the thief and the handsome night to stay incense, he walked twice in this palace, and found the key in the secret compartment under the old woman's bed. Thinking of this, he quietly withdrew his gaze and silently ate the rice mixed with sauce.

There were a few weak coughs from the old man, Fan Xian lowered his head and said nothing, and the color of the queen that he had seen at the previous glance found that the corners of her lips had begun to droop, and he knew that this old man would not live for a few years.

"Morning girl, sit beside the mourning family. The queen mother looked at her granddaughter at the end of the table in the distance, and then glanced at Fan Xian, whose face was hidden in the shadows, and called: "Give me a beat." ”

Wan'er got up and left her seat gently, walked there with a smile, said a few words in the ear of the Queen Mother, and glanced at Fan Xian, who was eating sauce and rice with a bitter face, guessing that she was making the old man happy and telling jokes. Sure enough, the Empress Dowager laughed and scolded with a smile: "It seems that you fed him in the Fan Mansion to the full, and he can't even eat the food in the palace." ”

Although the voice was low, it clearly reached the ears of everyone, and they all knew that it was Fan Xian.

Fan Xian's heart moved. A smile bloomed at the corner of her lips, thinking that Wan'er was the most favored in the palace, and it didn't seem to be a lie, as long as the queen mother and the emperor liked her. The status of the palace is naturally highlighted.

But his heart was still a little nervous, today was the first time he saw the Queen Mother, and the old man occasionally glanced at him, which made him shudder a little. It stands to reason that grandma looks at her wild grandson...... It shouldn't be this kind of look - the look is very complicated, there is a hint of relief, two points of pride, three parts of doubt, and the other four points of vigilance and coldness!

When the Queen Mother spoke, everyone had stopped eating. Listen to what the old man said at the family banquet on the winter solstice.

"Today, the arrival of people is neat...... Last year, the mourning family was unwell, so they didn't get together. Seeing the appearance of the horse today, the mourning family was also happy. The Empress Dowager said happily in her mouth, but there was no expression on her face, she turned to the emperor and said, "It's just that your sister is staying alone in Xinyang, it's not a problem." This daughter and son-in-law are both in Kyoto, and she lives in the palace for a long time, and I don't like it. ”

Fan Xian sneered in his heart. I know that I finally got to the point, and the meaning is very clear, even my own concubine can participate in the family banquet of the royal family, why can't the eldest princess?

The emperor's deep eyes flashed, and he responded: "The weather is cold, and the road is not easy to walk, so when spring begins, let Yun Rui come back." ”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction. Fan Xian noticed that the left sleeve of the second prince on the opposite side trembled a little unnaturally, thinking that this extremely poor brother who had been rectified by himself knew that the big aid was about to arrive in Beijing, and his heart was unbearable excited.

It's just that...... Why does Prince Di look a little weird?

......

......

What was said later, Fan Xian didn't care much, the royal family banquet was really boring, but when he heard the Queen Mother occasionally mention herself, the trace of coldness deliberately revealed made the corners of his lips can't help but reveal a trace of self-deprecation.

He once heard that when he was injured, the Queen Mother once prayed for himself and got the bead given by the Queen Mother, thinking that the old man's heart had softened, and his hard heart was also a little loose. Unexpectedly, depending on the situation, it was just a blind guess. Let's compare who has a hard heart, you people from the emperor's family are born with cold hearts, and our family, the monsters who are human beings in the second life, will not be soft in heart, at least three points harder than the meat in this cold soup.

Since the king is not a monarch and a minister, a father is not a father and a son, and a grandfather is not a grandson, and he still needs to be taboo about that unwarranted blood relationship?

Although he was born as a "" who plagiarized articles, Fan Xian was a good writer after all, and he couldn't get rid of those sour and arrogant bones in his bones, in this cold Hanguang Palace, he actually straightened up, straightened his waist, and although he smiled, he didn't deliberately please the Queen Mother, let alone be shy to pretend to be a junior to make the old woman and grandson happy, for a while, it made the conversation in Hanguang Hall seem a little embarrassing and cold.

In addition to the Queen Mother, these ladies and princes in the palace are very familiar with Fan Xian, and they know that this concubine is not a simple character, if you want to coax people, it is his best small means, so I don't understand why Fan Xian didn't take the opportunity of today's family banquet to talk to the Queen Mother.

The emperor didn't think so, thinking that Fan Xian was annoyed by the fact that his mother-in-law wanted to return to Beijing, and he was a little out of shape. The Queen Mother thought that this young man was born so arrogant, and she didn't like it in her heart. Looking at this scene, the queen didn't understand what Fan Xian wanted to do, a trace of doubt appeared in the corner of her eyes, Ning Cairen drank wine heroically under the slightly angry eyes of the queen mother, and the concubine took a small sip, and the concubine Yi smirked to make the queen mother happy, and divided a few glances for Fan Xian.

Among the rest of the people, His Highness was confused, His Highness was secretly happy, and His Highness was admired. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was distracted. Only King Jing guessed closer to the truth, shook his head secretly, and thought to himself that people who read books often came out of some roundabouts.

Wan'er, who was lying beside the Queen Mother, glanced at Fan Xian with some concern.

In the cold night, the snowflakes rose again, and they were sprinkled one after another, and at the corner gate of the palace, Fan Xian sat in a wheelchair, his head slightly bowed, and his face was quiet as if he was thinking. Lin Wan'er was a little worried and said, "Xianggong, are you okay?"

"It's fine. Fan Xian still lowered his head, "I'm just pretending to be Di Feijing." ”

Huwei and Qinian's group came, and the husband and wife got into the carriage, and the carriage drove towards Fan's mansion. In the carriage, Lin Wan'er asked curiously, "Who is Di Feijing?"

"A man who has kept his head down all his life. Fan Xian laughed: "Don't talk about him, hurry up and go home and eat meat, father, they should still be waiting." ”
