"Am I a fool?" King Jing Shizi looked at Fan Xian's eyes very seriously, "Please tell me, I'm really a fool." ”

Fan Xian said very seriously as he asked: "I think in some ways, you are really a fool. ”

What Li Hongcheng said was Fan Xian's fingertips pointing to the sky. What Fan Xian said was that the other party had to participate in the war for power among the princes.

The autumn grass in the palace is neat, and there is no poignant feeling, but like a yellowish felt, spread out on both sides of the road. Fan Xian knew that this was the hard work of King Jing, who liked Yuanyi, and pointed to the grass and said, "Look, this is life." ”

Li Hongcheng smiled and said: "If you are willing to serve Yuanzi at home every day, I will ask the second child to give you thousands of acres of land in the Jiangnan circle." ”

Fan Xian shook his head bitterly: "I said, these things are not my idea recently, and you don't believe it." ”

Li Hongcheng has a warm and sunny face, but at this time, the brows that were finally shocked by this news gradually wrinkled, if the recent movement of the court is not Fan Xian is ruthless, but His Majesty's secret idea, then this matter is inevitably a little bad, is it that His Majesty's favor for the second child is not as good as it was at the beginning?

Fan Xian glanced at him and said, "Of course, I am also selfish, you should know very well that I don't have a good impression of the second child." ”

Li Hongcheng frowned and said: "Since you entered Beijing, my second brother and I have been polite to you, of course, I dare not say that I am wholehearted, but at least I have to be closer than the East Palace." ”

Fan Xian sneered and didn't say anything.

The two walked side by side to the palace, and did not go directly to Houyuan, and King Jing's birthday banquet had not yet begun. Walked into the secret study of the prince. Fan Xian sat at the table, with a hint of chill between his eyebrows, staring at Li Hongcheng.

The servant who delivered the tea retreated, and only the two of them were left in the study.

"You're polite, and it's polite to let the Metropolitan Procuratorate make a move on me?"

Li Hongcheng was slightly stunned. said with a wry smile: "The Metropolitan Inspectorate...... That's what my aunt means, in fact, you also understand why, who asked you to start secretly investigating the things about your aunt and the second child as soon as you returned to Beijing. ”

Fan Xian didn't make the matter of Niulanshan clear, but shook his head and said, "As I said before, I have selfish intentions. The reason why I want to investigate the matter between the eldest princess and the second child, you should also understand that the money in the inner treasury was taken by the two of them, and you let me take over the empty shell next year?"

Li Hongcheng said: "How to say, you are also the son-in-law of the eldest princess, and she is such a girl." Will it really push you to a dead end? Take a step back, it's always good for everyone to be at peace. ”

"It's okay to take a step back. Fan Xian looked at him and said very seriously: "I'm just a little worried about you." I know. The reason why you stand on the side of the second child is that you must think that if he becomes the emperor in the future, he will definitely be more prosperous than the one in the East Palace, he seems to be gentle and kind, and you think that the palace will be more comfortable after he takes over the throne. But have you thought about it. You and I are screaming like this today, if he really becomes the emperor, he won't remember this?"

Li Hongcheng smiled: "The loss came out of your mouth." Otherwise, others will think that this is a very clumsy provocation. ”

Fan Xian waved his hand and said, "This is serious, you will be troublesome to me...... In the spring, I told you on the banks of the Liujing River that you should not get involved in these things. He looked into Li Hongcheng's eyes, "I know what you have done, but because of your identity as King Jing, even if you have thousands of fat powders under your hands, you don't have a single soldier, not arrogant." You don't have as much strength as me on the ground, how can you travel between these princes?"

Without waiting for Li Hongcheng to reply, Fan Xian stood up and said seriously: "When I say these words, I actually have a bit of a taste of narcissism, maybe you will laugh at me secretly in your heart, but since Your Majesty has moved his heart, I don't think the second child will have too many good days in the future, if you can keep some distance, just keep some." ”

He patted Li Hongcheng on the shoulder and said very earnestly: "I said this not for anything else, just for Ruoruo." ”

Li Hongcheng was silent, although his face was expressionless, he was a little touched in his heart, and said quietly after a while: "You don't know the second child, he is actually forced, besides, I invite him to be here here, and I always can't let go." ”

Fan Xian shook his head and didn't say anything.

King Jing's birthday banquet opened, a big flower round table with all kinds of expensive dishes, King Jing sat in the first place, his long beard was slightly fluttering, dressed as a rich businessman, not like the prince, not like the flower farmer, but a little like those salt merchants and imperial merchants in the south of the Yangtze River who were idle and bored, rich and worried.

Seeing his son and Fan Xian walking in side by side, King Jing laughed and waved Fan Xian over: "You give Lao Tzu and I will sit next to me." ”

Fan Xian was most afraid of King Jing and swearing, so he sat down with a bitter face, and turned his head to find that Wan'er was looking at him with a grin, while his sister was sitting quietly beside Wan'er. Thinking that he had shamelessly used Ruoruo's name to temporarily appease Li Hongcheng's geocentric center, Fan Xian despised himself in the depths of his bones, and raised his wine glass to toast King Jing, and then toasted his father and Liu who were sitting opposite, so he should be punished for being late.

There is no one else at the birthday banquet, it is Li Fan's family, but the elders are at the table, whether it is the prince or Fan Xian, they can't help but be a little restrained, and a sumptuous banquet is actually eaten without any taste.

After three rounds of drinking, King Jing was a little unhappy, put the wine pot at one end, and said to Fan Jian: "How do you manage your children at home, why are you here, Fan Xian and the others don't dare to speak." ”

Fan Jian chewed the tail of the silk deer, and said unhurriedly: "It's better than you, at least this official won't swear in front of his children." ”

"I'll fuck you!" King Jing wiped the wine on his chin and scolded: "Don't speak ill of me in front of my daughter!"

Princess Jing died early, and now there are still a few side rooms in the house, but she is not qualified to go to the wine table today. Sitting in the lower hand seat were the lord of Roujia and the prince Li Hongcheng, Roujia listened to her father's swearing, and the little girl secretly glanced up at Fan Xian. I was ashamed and angry in my heart, and I felt ashamed.

Hearing this, Fan Jian's face darkened, and he scolded: "Go with your own palm." ”

After Wan'er married into the Fan family. It was the first time I saw the two families sitting together, and it seemed inappropriate to look at the two elders, so he hurriedly pulled Fan Xian's sleeve, and listened to the father-in-law actually let a dignified county king slap his mouth, and couldn't help but gasp.

Fan Xian is used to it, and he doesn't care much, strange to say, his father Qingri has always been upright, that is, in front of King Jing, he will reveal the graceful and dashing spirit of the Chinese New Year's Eve lying in the green building.

King Jing heard that Fan Jian wanted to slap his mouth. was about to scold something, when he suddenly thought of what he said, and couldn't help but sigh. With a bitter smile, he actually raised his right hand and slapped it lightly on his face, but the snap was a little clear.

Fan Jian still didn't give up, pointed at his nose with chopsticks and scolded: "My son is about to marry a daughter-in-law." I don't want to talk about cultivating your morals!"

King Jing said with a shy face: "Gaffe." He glared at the juniors and said viciously, "No one heard what I said just now. Then he coughed twice in embarrassment. Only then did he ask Fan Xian beside him: "Fan Xian, how is my mother living in Lanzhou?"

Lin Wan'er lowered her head and couldn't help laughing, and then she remembered why Fan Shangshu dared to let the prince slap his own face and fuck your mother?

Fan Xian had a bitter face, thinking that you old people are quarrelling, why should you involve yourself, and said a little bit about the recent situation, nothing more than physical health and the like. His eyes rolled and he said, "Lord Wang, drink and drink." By the way, you're fine in Kyoto anyway, and Hongcheng is just idle in Beijing, otherwise we can find a time next year and go back to Lanzhou for a few days? ”

King Jing glanced at Fan Xian, knew what he meant, and liked it more and more in his heart, and said with a smile: "This is a good idea, I will go to the palace and talk to the emperor tomorrow...... But you can't go, you have to go to Jiangnan next year. ”

Li Hongcheng, who had been listening with his ears pricked up, was shocked, thinking that Fan Xian, you are really amazing in this move!

Fan Xian said: "Why do you want to go to Jiangnan?"

King Jing scolded: "You kid looks very smart on weekdays, even the second kid has suffered a lot of losses at your hands, why are you confused at this time? Next year you will take over the inner library, how can you take it over if you don't go to Jiangnan?"

Fan Xian touched his head, a little confused: "Take over Neiku, why do you want to go to Jiangnan?"

King Jing glanced at Fan Jian, his eyes widened and said, "I said Fan Jian, is your son pretending to be stupid or is he really stupid?"

Fan Jian glared at Fan Xian and said, "I thought that although this kid didn't have great wisdom, he was always a little smart, but now I realized that he didn't even have a little cleverness." ”

Lin Wan'er pouted and said, "Xianggong doesn't know that the three major squares of the inner library are all in Jiangnan...... Uncle, what do you say about drinking your wine?"

King Jing almost choked, and said with a smile: "Girls are outgoing, sure enough, no matter how I am also your own uncle, how can I talk to their Fan family after getting married?"

Lin Wan'er said with a smile: "I see that uncle, you also love my father-in-law, why do you keep talking about me." ”

Li Hongcheng nodded and sighed again and again, looking at Fan Xian sitting next to his father, looking at his father looking at Fan Xian's smiling eyes, he was jealous in his heart, he was like His Second Highness, he was unhappy, and he thought to himself Why did his father like Fan Xian so much?

The banquet was tossed to the end, and several juniors toasted and celebrated their birthdays, which finally made King Jing happy, and his words became more and more ridiculous, and for a while he said that after the marriage of the two families, he had to give birth to a doll quickly, and then said that when Roujia was two years older, he would simply marry Fan Xian, so as not to cheapen others in vain.

Ruoruo nervously grabbed his sleeve and didn't dare to reply. Li Hongcheng's face was quiet, with a hint of affection in his eyes, and he glanced at his fiancée a few times.

Fan Xian was the most nervous, and hurriedly replied: "What is Roujia's identity, how can you be a little for me, Lord Wang, you really drank too much wine." ”

The little girl Roujia glanced at her idle brother with great resentment.

King Jing was so angry that he scolded: "This Kyoto is a water and a land king, can I rest assured that I am married to someone else? What is my identity? Isn't it my daughter, is it not worthy of you?" Do you have any comments?"

Lin Wan'er replied with a smile: "I don't have any opinion, as long as you can talk about the Queen Mother, uncle, this matter will be settled." ”

As soon as King Jing heard the words Queen Mother, he was only half awake from the wine. Thinking of the queen mother, she must not allow Fan Xian to marry her two granddaughters at the same time, so she couldn't help but scold and said: "You have to think of a way to do this, Rou Jia's temperament is too weak...... What the hell, don't you marry Fan Xian? Wouldn't it be cost-effective to give this son to the female land in the north, Fan Xian was so beautiful, and it was really not cost-effective to cheapen the tigress in the north. ”

He looked at Fan Jian drunkenly and said, "What's the name of that woman in the north?"

Fan Jian obviously drank too much, burped, and said with a hint of self-sufficiency: "Begonia." The role of the saint in the north, the closed disciple of the Kuhe National Teacher, I don't know how to look down on my untalented son. ”

It is said that it is not a talent. But apparently the old guy was very proud.

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the table laughed, and even Liu, who had been silent, couldn't help but cover his mouth, but Fan Sizhen and Li Hongcheng laughed the most exaggeratedly. Fan Xian was the saddest person at the table, and he really didn't expect it. After my father got drunk, he would be such a profligate person, and he didn't expect it. My father actually remembered the name of Begonia.

There was a slight pain on his forearm, Fan Xian's face remained unchanged, he gently grabbed Wan'er's hand, raised his glass with his left hand, and said with a gentle smile: "Drink and drink." ”

There was another burst of laughter at the table, and even Ruoruo, who had been a little inexplicably uneasy, laughed softly.

......

......

"That begonia ......," King Jing suddenly said, "I'm afraid it's not a closed disciple of Kuhe." ”

Fan Xianben was a little nervous about the word begonia, but after listening to the latter sentence, he knew that the things he had arranged had finally begun. That news has already begun to reach Kyoto.

Fan Jian nodded, revealing a puzzled look: "It's really strange to say, that Begonia girl." He glanced at his son and continued: "According to the fax, she is the youngest master of the Nine Rank in history, and the people of Northern Qi have always said that she is a Heavenly Veiner...... There is such an apprentice, what is Kuhe not satisfied with, he actually wants to reopen the mountain to accept disciples. ”

The prince Li Hongcheng also knew about this, frowned and said, "Isn't it a conspiracy of Northern Qi?"

King Jing scolded: "It's a scheming, it's a conspiracy to take in apprentices, isn't it a conspiracy to eat a meal in bitter lotus, don't think about these things every day, beware of being tired and distracted! Such a big person has no interest at all." ”

Li Hongcheng made a fortune in a muffled voice, and Fan Sizhen touched a glass with him with deep affection on the side.

Fan Jian couldn't bear to look at King Jing's Xunzi and said, "Although it can't be a conspiracy, it's really strange...... After a few months of retreat, Kuhe suddenly said that he had realized the will of heaven and wanted to re-admit two female disciples, and said that the heavens were auspicious...... It's weird. ”

King Jing slowly drank a glass of wine, and said with a cautious expression: "The four great masters, that is the top person in the world, among the three we know, Ye Liuyun is a free and easy person who does not accept apprentices, although there are few apprentices who look around the sword and collect the land, but the sword is wide open, which has created many nine-grade masters in Dongyi City." In the past, Kuhe Guoshi has accepted four apprentices, and each of them is amazingly talented. ”

Fan Xian thought of the soul-devouring scimitar of the wolf peach, and couldn't help but nod slightly.

King Jing continued to frown and said: "But these three great grandmasters have not opened the mountain gate for many years, at this time, Kuhe suddenly wants to accept apprentices again, it is really a big event in the world, although we don't care, but for the world's martial arts practitioners, this is really a good opportunity, if you can worship under the Kuhe Gate, martial arts can be improved, you can also form a good relationship with the sky...... He sighed and said, "If you can get closer to the bitter lotus line through the matter of accepting apprentices, I think these monarchs in the world are very willing." ”

Fan Xian showed curiosity on his face and asked: "After all, Kuhe is the national teacher of Northern Qi, and he wants to find people within the scope of Northern Qi when he accepts apprentices, what does this have to do with our Qingguo?"

Fan Jian glanced at his son and said, "This time, the Kuhe National Master opened the mountain gate widely, and everyone has a chance. Although he is the national teacher of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but the status of the great grandmaster is so transcendent, if any of our people in Qingguo has the opportunity to worship under him, I think Your Majesty will also be happy to see it. ”

Fan Xian nodded, indicating that he understood, but he was thinking about something else in his heart - I don't know how Begonia persuaded that great master, it seems that this girl's family is really more powerful than he imagined.

After the banquet was over, Liu went to the back house to talk to the women. The young people went to the lake to drink in the wind, but Fan Sizhen disappeared without a sound.

In the round garden that King Jing took care of himself, he and Fan Shangshu were lying on bamboo chairs, squinting and saying nothing.

"Fan Xian recently ...... It's too hard, you press him. King Jing's eyes were clear, and Fan Shangshu looked calm, like two old drunkards on the wine table.

Fan Jian hummed lightly and said, "This kid said after he entered Beijing that I can't completely control him. ”

King Jing snorted coldly and said: "You and I don't control it, do you want to leave it to that old cripple to control?" That old cripple has bad water in his stomach, and the ghost knows what he is playing. ”

Fan Jian said with a smile: "The old cripple was also an old man who went out of your mansion at the beginning, otherwise how could Your Majesty believe him so much." ”

King Jing sneered: "It's up to you to toss, anyway, after that incident, my heart will be discussed." He then closed his eyes and said: "Fan Xian, this kid, has a really good heart, I'm just worried that His Majesty will squeeze him too much, and it will always be difficult to clean up in the future." ”

Fan Jian sighed and said, "You also know that I have no say in this matter. ”

King Jing shook his head and sighed, "Just let these boys play, my brother probably likes to watch this kind of drama." (Netizen Taotaro uploaded an update)
