Chapter 59: Head-to-head
Two luxury carriages were parked side by side.
Fu Xuanlin and Fu Tingxuan stepped out of the carriage almost at the same time.
All the ladies said in unison: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness King Ling."
The gentle warm sun sprinkled on Fu Xuanlin's body, his jet-black hair was like brocade, the broken hair on his forehead stroked his sword eyebrows with the breeze, and his deep and cold starry eyes were a little more tender than usual.
"The eleventh brother has just returned from disaster relief, and he should have a lot of things to do, so how can he come to this Shunhua prison in a hurry?"
Fu Tingxuan looked at Fu Xuanlin playfully with a pair of peach blossom eyes.
Fu Xuanlin always looked ahead, and didn't even give Fu Tingxuan a look.
"The left guard next to the third brother has been missing for a few days, and the third brother should be anxious to come, but I didn't expect to be in the mood to hang out here." Chinese Net
Fu Tingxuan's expression changed slightly, except for the people in the East Palace, no one knew about Yin Sixteen's disappearance.
Yin Sixteen's disappearance is indeed related to this wild species.
He clenched his fists, trying to contain his anger.
Fu Xuanlin turned his head to look at Fu Tingxuan, and replied, "Brother Chen still has important matters, so it is inconvenient to chat with the third brother here, so I will leave."
With that, Fu Xuanlin strode into the rows of carriages.
Fu Tingxuan remembered the purpose of coming here today, temporarily put away the anger in his heart, and hurriedly followed.
In the crowd, Zhan Xinglan was always the most conspicuous one, Fu Xuanlin saw her at a glance and looked at her intently.
Without hesitation, he walked past everyone towards her, his steps firm and powerful.
Zhan Xinglan stood in place in a daze, and the deer buried in the depths suddenly crashed wildly in her heart like a corpse.
For more than two months, she had been using reason to warn herself that she couldn't think about him.
Everything she does is just to survive.
But now that he was getting closer to him, the last of her sanity was dead.
Fu Xuanlin walked in front of Zhan Xinglan, causing all the ladies to be secretly unhappy.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Fu Tingxuan also walked in front of Zhan Xinglan.
One is King Ling, who has become famous recently, and the other is the crown prince of the current dynasty who sits firmly on the throne.
The two princes actually came to find Zhan Xinglan.
All the ladies cast jealous glances at Zhan Xinglan one after another.
Especially Ke Wanning and He Fuyan, they watched their beloved man go to other women, not to mention how much hatred they had in their hearts.
On the contrary, Xi Li'er sat calmly in the carriage, raised her hand to lift the curtain, and watched everything with interest with her chin in her hand.
She happened to see He Fuyan angrily rubbing the silk handkerchief in her hand, and a shameful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Zhan Xinglan raised his eyes and looked at the two men, so he had to salute the prince first according to the rules of etiquette.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness King Ling."
"Zhan San Lady doesn't need to be polite."
Fu Xuanlin lowered his head and looked at her with burning eyes, and those eyes that were as deep as a cold pool were extremely clear.
Zhan Xinglan could almost see himself in his eyes.
Fu Tingxuan was not to be outdone, and said with a smile to Zhan Xinglan, "Xinglan, this palace heard that the carriage of the Guogong Mansion was broken, so I specially came here to pick you up and take you back to the mansion."
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Zhan Xinglan's wrist.
But at the moment when he was about to catch it, he pounced.
Zhan Xinglan took a step back, just dodging Fu Tingxuan's hand.
"How dare the courtiers bother His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send the courtiers back to the house, it just so happens that the courtiers want to go elsewhere, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should please go back."
Fu Tingxuan was not annoyed when he was dismissed, but continued to say gently, "Where Xinglan wants to go, this palace will send you."
is so attentive, it seems that Fu Tingxuan wants to win back her heart before choosing a concubine.
Zhan Xinglan sneered in his heart, if he really let such a hypocritical and shameless man be the emperor, he was afraid that the Han Kingdom would die sooner or later.
She was about to open her mouth to continue refusing, who wanted Fu Xuanlin
and stood in her way.
"The third lady of Zhan is about to go to the minister's mansion to sit down, so I won't bother the third brother."
Fu Tingxuan frowned, "This palace and the eleventh brother came here at the same time, I don't know when Xinglan had an appointment with the eleventh brother, but the palace didn't hear it."
"If the third brother doesn't believe it, you can ask Zhan San Niang if it's true."
Zhan Xinglan was stunned for a moment.
If she said that there was no such thing, she would have to go with Fu Tingxuan, then it would be hypocritical for her to deliberately avoid suspicion with Fu Tingxuan before, and maybe it would be rumored that she was a means to seduce the prince.
If she said that there was such a thing, she would have to go to the Lingwang Mansion with Fu Xuanlin in full view of everyone.
Anyway, today's scandal is decided, so of course Fu Xuanlin is chosen.
But what kind of calculation Fu Xuanlin is making, she really has no bottom in her heart.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the courtiers do have an appointment with His Royal Highness King Ling."
Hearing Zhan Xinglan say this, Fu Tingxuan didn't have much interest in entanglement, so he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, this palace won't stop it much."
Fu Tingxuan turned his head and left, the anger on his face almost couldn't be hung up.
He Fuyan even greeted him, but he didn't see it.
Without that eye-catching person, Zhan Xinglan's expression was much more relaxed.
"Zhan San Lady, please."
Fu Xuanlin made a gesture of please.
Zhan Xinglan got into the carriage of the Lingwang Mansion with Fu Xuanlin in full view of everyone.
And this scene happened to be seen by Wen Zhuo.
The agarwood rabbit on Zhan Xinglan's waist looked so inconspicuous and worthless in front of Fu Xuanlin in brocade clothes.
He lowered his eyes and turned to leave, his lonely figure looking equally inconspicuous in the crowd.
The carriage drove in a hurry, and the body shook with it.
Fu Xuanlin and Zhan Xinglan sat opposite each other, and their eyes couldn't help but intertwine.
"I haven't seen each other for two months, and the third lady of Zhan seems to have lost a lot."
"The same is true of the prince, he must have suffered a lot in Bozhou."
Fu Xuanlin chuckled, "What makes this king more frightened than hardship is the sinister human heart."
"The prince was born in the emperor's family, and it is really rare to have such feelings."
Zhan Xinglan suddenly realized that the heart of the man in front of her was more delicate and soft than she imagined.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the carriage slowly stopped.
After Fu Xuanlin got out of the carriage, he turned around and stretched out his hand to Zhan Xinglan, who was about to get out of the carriage.
Zhan Xinglan looked at Fu Xuanlin's outstretched hand, and then looked at the emptiness under the carriage.
"Why aren't there any stools?"
"The stool is broken, if the third lady is not afraid of falling, she can also get down by herself."
As he spoke, Fu Xuanlin was about to withdraw his hand.
Seeing that Fu Xuanlin was really leaving, Zhan Xinglan hurriedly stretched out his tender white little hand and shook it.
Fu Xuanlin subconsciously clenched her, and just wanted to reach out to help her, Zhan Xinglan had already jumped down with his strength.
The little hand in his palm only stayed for a moment before sliding away in a hurry, and Fu Xuanlin's hand lingered in the air for a moment before letting go.
Zhan Xinglan smiled at him, "Thank you, Lord Wang."
Fu Xuanlin smiled back, hiding the inexplicable loss in his heart.
Zhan Xinglan turned his head to see that the plaque reads "Ming Guo Mansion".
The carriage stopped at the door of the Ming State Mansion.
It turned out that Fu Xuanlin didn't want to take her to Lingwang's Mansion, so Fu Xuanlin specially rushed to relieve her.
Zhan Xinglan immediately understood Fu Xuanlin's kindness and bowed slightly to him.
"Thank you for your help today."
"This king just doesn't want the third lady of Zhan to fall into chaos, the hour is not early, this king will leave first."
Zhan Xinglan looked at Fu Xuanlin's departing figure, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth.
But when she looked at it, the smile on her lips stopped.
The carriage
In the trough behind the buttocks, there was an intact car bench.
Didn't Fu Xuanlin say that the stool was broken?
Zhan Xinglan raised his eyebrows, and then he suddenly realized that he was being teased by that guy.
"It turns out that the bronze straight man also has a time to open his mind."
Zhan Xinglan shook his head with a smile, turned around and disappeared into the door of the mansion with small leaps.
Back at Wangshu Pavilion, Zhan Xinglan learned that the carriage in the mansion had just set off for a while today, and the wheel hub was broken.
And the traces of the broken hub seem to be artificial.
Zhan Xinglan even guessed that it was the prince who did it.
The truth is indeed as Zhan Xinglan thought.
Fu Tingxuan's purpose was to take the opportunity to win Zhan Xinglan's heart, in front of so many ladies, he didn't believe that Zhan Xinglan would reject him.
Originally, everything was going smoothly, until Fu Xuanlin's appearance disrupted everything.
Fu Tingxuan thundered in the East Palace.
"! snatched the merits and favors that should have belonged to the palace, and now he is coming to rob the woman with the palace! Fu Xuanlin, this palace will see how long you can be proud!"
Fu Tingxuan crushed the tea pot in his hand with his bare hands, and the sharp fragments cut through his skin as if there was no pain.
At this moment, Emperor Jing, who was reviewing the recital in the Zichen Palace, heard what happened in Shunhua Prison today, and immediately understood everything.
"This little girl from the Zhan family is really sought-after, and she actually makes my two sons happy with her."
Kou Huai smiled all over his face on the side, brushing his sleeves and grinding, "Your Majesty is very fond of Zhan San Niang, and now the two Highnesses are happy with Zhan San Niang, isn't it just what Your Majesty wants?"
"Having said that, there is only one girl in the Zhan family, so I can't split her into two, and give half of each to the crown prince and King Ling. Although I practice the art of weighing, I don't want the two brothers to have a dislike for each other over a woman."
Emperor Jing raised his forehead and sighed lightly, not knowing what to do.
Kou Huai rolled his eyes, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, put down the black gold ink in his hand, and raised his eyes to look at Emperor Jing mysteriously.
"If Your Majesty is in a dilemma, the old slave has a plan to solve this dilemma."
Emperor Jing's vicissitudes of life suddenly lit up, "What's the plan?"
Three days later in the morning.
Zhan Xinglan was still boating on the lake with the lover in his dreams, but he heard a bit of nagging in his ears.
"Third lady, wake up, the list is released today, Da Lang Jun and Er Lang Jun invite you to go and see the list together."
Seeing that Zhan Xinglan was indifferent, Zhu Huan simply pulled Zhan Xinglan's arm and used his strength to pull her up.
But as soon as Zhan Xinglan was pulled up, he fell back on the pillow, back and forth two or three times, and Zhu Huan was already tired and out of breath.
Zhu Huan saw that Zhan Xinglan was still sleeping as steadily as Mount Tai, and his mentality was about to collapse.
She blushed and looked at Zhan Xinglan with her hands on her waist.
"Third lady, if you can't afford it again, the servant will have to use a trick."
Zhan Xinglan still didn't move, and even snored slightly.
Seeing this, Zhu Huan immediately squatted down and blindly touched under the bed for a long time before he found two things.
Suddenly, there was a "bang!" from the silent room. Bang.
The deafening sound echoed through every corner of the room with a harsh prolonged sound.
Zhan Xinglan widened her eyes and covered her ears and sat up.
She turned her head and looked at Zhu Huan resentfully, and her swear words finally turned into a white eye and a sigh under Zhu Huan's well-behaved and lovely smile.
"I said, how many of these things you've hidden in this house."
Zhu Huan was embarrassed to hide the shiny gong behind his back.
"The third lady is always lying in bed, this trick is better."
"Okay, okay, I can't get out of bed." Zhan Xinglan promised well, but in fact, he secretly planned how to throw all the gongs in this house.
A moment later, Zhan Xinglan and his two brothers got into a carriage and headed to the gate of the imperial city.
In the distance, Zhan Xinglan heard a noisy noise.
Some people looked up to the sky and laughed, some cursed angrily, and some even cried.
Zhan Xinglan smacked his tongue and was surprised, where is this list, it's just killing pigs.
There were too many candidates gathered under the gate of the imperial city, and the carriage could only be parked in the shade of a tree in the distance.
Zhan Nanjing couldn't wait to rush over to see the carriage, but he heard a string of horses neighing in his ears.
