Husband is extremely regent

Chapter 211 Conditions for Marriage Proposal

The prison of Dali Temple.

"Do you want to do it again?"

Fan Xing pressed the strings of the zither lightly with both hands and asked, Fairy Jingmeng, who was imprisoned in the iron prison, her immortal energy disappeared after repeated torture.

Fan Chen admired Fan Xing so much, no matter what severe punishment he imposed before, Fairy Jingmeng always looked calm and breezy. He only played a few qin tunes, and Fairy Jingmeng seemed to have fallen into the world Purgatory, so painful that it almost kills itself.

Fairy Jingmeng was covered in cold sweat, lying on the ground and raised her head with difficulty, her original expression was somewhat weathered.

Looking at the amazingly handsome man in front of her, Fairy Jingmeng said with great effort: "Which disciple of yours, why do you know the punishment method of my immortal sect so well? After all, you and I are the ones all the way, so why bother to get entangled with these mortals?" .”

"Follow me...you deserve it too."

Fanxing picked up the cat on the side, stroked its fur and said, "Actually, you don't say we can find it, His Royal Highness will not let a dog go without a reason."

Fan Chen glanced at Fan Xing in surprise and said, "Since you can find their lair, why are you still here?"

His words also asked Fairy Jingmeng's heartfelt feelings.

Fan Xing said indifferently: "Shouldn't I help her vent her anger for disturbing Xu'er's retreat?"

"Just to help Lu Xu vent your anger, you tortured him to death?"

"Otherwise." Fan Xing picked up the piano and said, "I have abolished their practice, and now they are just like ordinary people. Take it easy in the future, and they will die."

"Don't worry, I will definitely ask for more useful information." Fan Chen immediately understood Fanxing's intentions. Although the prince has a way to find out the source of the other party, the more information he has, the better for them.

"Mr. Fan, look at how she has become so old..."

Fan Chen was surprised to find that Fairy Jingmeng was aging at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What did Fanxing do to her, to force a successful human immortal into a doomed old woman?

Fanxing casually said: "Fairy Jingmeng is not getting old, but she is already very old..."

"Already very old, what do you mean?"

It's not that Fan Chen can't turn his head around, but he can't believe that the previous Fairy Miao Ling was actually an old lady.

Fan Xing said indifferently: "You really think that Fairy Jingmeng is a young girl, but her actual age may be older than Nanliguo. Now that her spiritual veins have been destroyed, she will naturally show her original shape without spiritual support."

"You mean that no matter what age you set foot on the road of cultivating immortals, as long as your cultivation reaches a certain height, you can restore your appearance to the original."

"It can only be achieved with a cultivation level above the third realm." Fanxing corrected Fan Chen's mistake and said, "It's nothing more than spending a little more spiritual energy. The prince is different from me and Xu'er. We both reached the level two decades ago. Above the third realm, you can maintain a youthful appearance without the support of spiritual power."

"If you boast about whether you can avoid the prince and Lu Xu, I will feel inferior."

Fan Chen was speechless, aside from Lu Xu, they were obviously about the same age as the prince, but their strength was vastly different.

Fanxing coughed twice and said, "If you can become the prince's companions, your talents are naturally first-class, but you are delayed by some mundane tasks. If you can devote yourself to cultivation, your achievements in the future will definitely not be worse than them."

"You don't need to comfort me. Although they are all accompanied by the prince, Lu Xu's talent is indeed higher than ours."

Fan Chen was very self-aware and said: "Being able to be His Highness's companion, I have worked hard behind the scenes, but Lu Xu is different. I don't see her working hard, but she always ranks ahead of me every time I take the exam."

"You are all geniuses, but the crown prince and Xu'er are geniuses among geniuses."

"Forget it, you'd better go." Fan Chen was hit by an invisible crit: "Don't come to Dali Temple next time, the temple is too small to accommodate your big Buddha."

"Xu'er came to help, how do you deal with it?" Fan Xing remembered that Lu Xu came more than once, Fan Chen rolled his eyes, and said with a deep expression: "It is usually female prisoners who ask her for help. Women know women better."

"Xu'er will execute the execution himself?" Fan Xing asked worriedly.

"That's not true." Fan Chen quickly explained: "Lu Xu can always make people half-dead with a few words, thus revealing the secrets of his heart."

"Xu'er is good at attacking the mind. The purpose of irritating people is to let the opponent's words show flaws. Only then can Xu'er have a chance to break through the opponent's heart defense and achieve the effect you want. Now that Xu'er's cultivation has recovered, there is no need to be so troublesome in the future. .”

"Could it be that Lu Xu also knows your tricks?"

"The method I used just now was originally created by Xuer, I just made some improvements."

Lu Xu's original idea is that anyone who hears the song will be hit. After his modification, it is more directional. To put it bluntly, only the enemy will be hit.

Hearing this, Fan Chen was a little excited: "Can I learn this method?"

Fan Xing said, "Do you understand the temperament?"

"Slightly clear."

"It's not enough to know a little bit, you have to be proficient."

Fan Xing said lightly: "Only by being proficient in rhythm can you turn musical notes into a sharp weapon that pierces people's hearts."

Fan Chen sighed after thinking about it, and realized that what sounds simple may not be easy to do. Sure enough, the skills of elites are not something that ordinary people can learn if they want to.

"You are only in your early twenties, and your life is still long. Don't rush to define yourself." Fanxing patted him on the shoulder, and walked outside with the piano in one hand and the cat in the other. When he was far away, Fan Chen suddenly remembered something and said loudly : "Fanxing, that cat is raised by Dali Temple."

Fanxing had already returned to Fuyun Pavilion.

They saw Lu Yi standing outside the door, Xue Bao sitting on his lap basking in the sun.

Before he could speak, Lu Yi sighed and said, "There are already enough cats at home, why bother with others' cats?"

Fan Xing was stunned and said: "It's too scary to put it among a group of immortal cultivators. Tomorrow, let the prince remind Fan Chen that spiritual creatures like cats should not appear in the prison as much as possible. They are very easy to be used by immortal cultivators."

"Until now the truth is still unacceptable, the fact of cultivating immortals in the world."

"Actually, it's not bad. Maybe one day we will bring Xu'er's mother back to life, so that you can accept the fact that there are immortals."

Fanxing knew that Lu Yi was not a conservative person, and he was unwilling to accept it because his lover was gone. Immortality was meaningless to him. Instead, it was a long, endless pain and suffering.

"I'm not the queen mother, and I won't be as obsessed as she is."

Lu Yi took a deep breath and said, "Han'er can't come back to life, but I will try my best to accompany Xu'er until the end of my life."

Fanxing secretly heaved a sigh of relief, smiled and said: "There are not many people related to me in this world. Those who are related to me can put me in their hearts, and even fewer people can put me in their hearts. I will try my best to accompany you around you."

It is not important to him to cut immortals or enter the immortal gate, what is important is the people and things in front of him.

Lu Yi also smiled and said: "I was in the imperial study just now. I read your exam paper. It is very well written. It is bolder and more well-founded than I was back then. I tested the emperor's tone. I should not punish you severely. At most, you will be punished." I want you to help the empress when you are free."

"Go to the Xuanyuan to give lectures, but not to go." Fanxing resolutely refused: "I just finished scolding the Xuanyuan and turned around to give lectures again at the Xuanyuan. If it is rumored that it is not a joke, I will go to the ancestral temple."

"Xuanyuan is going to be reopened, but the Emperor Xuanyuan has the final say, so you don't have to resist too much." Lu Yi slowly reminded: "If you go to kneel at the ancestral temple, wouldn't you be announcing your identity to the world? , the major aristocratic families must have misunderstood your answer, in fact, it is the emperor's intention, which is not good for the court situation."

"I understand what the emperor means, so let's go."

The current situation is not suitable for the imperial court to fall out with the major families, but if he is severely punished, he will indulge the major families.

The emperor can only use this strategy of raising it heavily and putting it down gently, which can be regarded as a reminder to the great families that if they don't appreciate the fate of the Nangong family, it will be their fate.

Fan Xing said: "Since that's the case, I'll go back and make some preparations, and I'll come to propose marriage tomorrow."

"You came to propose marriage by yourself?!" Lu Yi said in surprise, "Xiaoyaowang is in the capital, isn't it a bit unethical for you to do so?"

"When other people's fathers hear that their sons have a crush, they rush to propose marriage. How can they say that it depends on fate like him, and they will meet when they should meet. I can only have no destiny with him. My own marriage is my own. manage."

With such an unreliable father on the table, Fan Xing could only personally settle the marriage, so as not to cause complications.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Marriage is a major event in life. How can you be fooled." Lu Yi said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Since the emperor was able to protect you and Xu'er, he can also act as a parent for you. You propose marriage."

"Will this method work?" Fan Xing doubted.

"No matter how senior you are, can you be older than the emperor?"

Lu Yi said disapprovingly: "Besides, you haven't recognized your ancestors yet, so your seniority can be completely ignored."

"Now go to the palace to meet the emperor."

Fan Xing put down the zither and the cat, and hurried to the palace.

Lu Yi wanted to remind him that the palace examination hadn't even started yet, he was not yet the number one scholar in this subject, and he couldn't come to propose marriage yet, and it would not be too late to propose marriage after the palace examination results came out.

Going to ask the emperor now, the emperor will definitely try his best to squeeze it out, but Fanxing has gone far, and Lu Yi has no choice but to give up. No matter how smart Fanxing is and how high his cultivation is, he is still a young man after all, and he will grow up after suffering a few more losses.

Royal Palace.

puff……

Hengdi sprays tea twice a day.

Putting down the teacup, he said in disbelief, "You want Gu and the Empress to act as parents, go to Hanyuan to propose marriage to Lu Xiang, and ask to marry Lu Xu as his wife?"

"Your Majesty heard me right. The minister's parents are not around, so I can only ask the Emperor and the Empress to take care of my parents' responsibilities." Fan Xing repeated, "I promised Xu'er that if she wins the first prize, I will come to propose marriage to her."

"The imperial examination has not yet started, and Gu has not decided that you are the number one scholar."

"..." Fan Xing thought for a while and said, "The emperor will advance the palace examination so that he can come to propose marriage earlier."

"Lu Xu is right there, why are you so anxious." Emperor Heng gently reminded: "Lu Xiang also said that proposing marriage is not the same as getting married, so why are you so anxious."

"When the marriage is settled, I will feel at ease, so that no one will always miss Xu'er." When Fan Xing thought of the eyes those people were staring at Lu Xu, he hated to announce to the world immediately that he was engaged to her.

"It's okay to advance the imperial examination, there is only one condition..."
