Joy of Life: The melon-eating prince sees through Fan Xian's fake death

Chapter 11 Returning the Teng Family Mother and Son, a Gift to Qingzhu

Although Li Chengze greeted him with a smile, his heart was filled with hatred towards the prince.

All the killing schemes he painstakingly set up for Fan Xian were solved because of the arrival of the prince, forcing his efforts to be in vain.

"Your Highness, I wonder where you got the news that I'm here?"

Li Chengze asked unwillingly, even if he lost, he should understand where he lost.

Fan Xian and Wang Qinian were also quite curious. They both came here at the arrangement of the prince. Not only did they uncover Li Chengze's conspiracy to indirectly seduce Fan Sizhe, but they also used a tactic of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

It seemed that everything that had just happened was part of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's plan.

Fan Xian reviewed Li Chengqian's words and actions, and felt that he was a more sophisticated person.

He looks honest and down-to-earth on the surface, but is he actually a scheming boy?

Great wisdom appears foolish.
Li Chengqian didn't know how Fan Xian and others had transformed him.

He waved his hand, and Qingzhu, who had been waiting obediently behind him, stood up and took out fifty taels of silver and placed it on the table:

"Second Prince, no merit, no reward. Please take back the reward."

Li Chengze had a grim smile on his face. The feeling of betrayal was really unpleasant. "When did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince find out?"

Li Chengqian waved his hand, and asked the frightened Qingzhu to stand back. "I found it when I needed to find it."

Li Chengze sighed. He should have reacted when the informant and the prince spent the whole night together and failed to send back the news in time. However, the prince usually pretended to be honest and lustful so well that he neglected it at the first time. "Your Highness, you win."

"Someone, go and release Teng Zijing's wife and children."

Seeing Li Chengze's deflated expression, Fan Xian felt so relieved. Wang Qinian even lowered his head to hide his smile, for fear that he would not be able to help but applaud. Only Fan Sizhe stood there in a daze. He didn't react at all, and the matter was settled?
Your Highness the Crown Prince has great means!
"Eh? Why is there only fifty taels in this banknote?"

Before leaving, Li Chengze didn't want to let Qingzhu off easily. He came back halfway, took out the banknotes and asked, "Your Highness, your servant has embezzled half of it. Tsk tsk, people's hearts are hard to predict. You should discipline them more."

"Go ask your people for the remaining fifty taels." Li Chengqian knew that this was the second brother's plan to disloyalty him, and he didn't care at all. He even defended Qingzhu on the spot, "She is mine, so you don't need to worry about her, second brother."

"Humph!"

Li Chengze shot himself in the foot. He laughed at other people's servants for not disciplining them properly, but in fact it was his own servants who had ulterior motives. He was so angry that his alpaca bangs were shaking. When he walked out of Baoyue Tower, his face was as dark as if he had eaten nine-turn large intestine.

"Your Highness, we have worked in vain, so you are just going to let him go?"

Li Chengze glared at his subordinate and said, "If we can't catch Fan Xian, let him go."

"Also, kill the whole family of that bitch and make them your enemies for revenge."

"Yes."

Li Chengze was vindictive and vicious. He casually gave the order and stepped on the servant to get into the car, "If you are my enemy, you should live a life worse than death!"

·······
Baoyue Tower.

It's fun.

Fan Xian, Wang Qinian and others pointed at Li Chengze and made fun of him.

The latter was full of praise for Li Chengze, offering the best flattery: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is not only kind-hearted, but also wise and brave. He can plan and win a victory from a distance of a hundred miles. He easily disintegrated the Second Prince's calculations. It is a blessing for our Daqing to have such an excellent crown prince."

Fan Xian even winked at the Crown Prince and Qing Zhu, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is very good at managing his subordinates. I really admire you."

Unconsciously, Fan Xian referred to himself as "minister" in a joking manner. Although he said it with a smile, he might have already felt a little more recognition in his heart.

"My girl is thin-skinned, stop it."

Li Chengqian not only protected the servants' face, but also respected them as masters and servants, which made Fan Xian look at him with admiration.

Qingzhu blushed upon hearing this and hid behind the prince, not daring to show her face. She was just like her former girlfriend in college, who had to put on makeup nervously before meeting her boyfriend's brother for the first time, fearing that she would embarrass her boyfriend.
"Your Highness, thank you for your help with the Baoyue Tower matter. I owe you a favor." Before leaving, Fan Xian expressed his gratitude sincerely.

Li Chengqian smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay. The delegation will arrive in Kyoto soon. You should go back quickly. Only when you return to the delegation safely can you get rid of the reputation of faking your death."

Fan Xian nodded, Wang Qinian bowed again, and left with Fan Sizhe. Before leaving Baoyue Tower, Li Chengqian saw Miss Sang Wen being punished by Yuan Meng. He was worried that she would be found out to have leaked the information to Fan Xian and cause trouble for others, so he asked Yuan Meng to redeem her. The madam agreed without saying a word, showing great interest in buying one and getting one free.

Li Chengqian said forget it and just keep Miss Sang Wen by his side.

She knelt down holding the pipa and thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for rescuing her from the devil's cave.

Li Chengqian ordered his servants to settle Sang Wen, and he and Qingzhu left Baoyue Tower in a carriage.

along the way.

Qingzhu, who was riding with him, was a little worried. While massaging the Crown Prince, she couldn't help but lean over and ask for help: "Master, now that my identity has been exposed, will the Second Prince kill my family? My younger sister is still young, she can't be implicated because of me."

Li Chengqian saw Qingzhu's red eyes and her adorable appearance. She clearly wanted him to rescue her but he didn't dare to ask.

I was afraid of troubling His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"I'll give you a surprise later."

"what?"

Qingzhu asked, rubbing her slightly red eyes.

Li Chengqian smiled without saying a word, held her in his arms, and glanced out the window. The carriage did not go to the palace but stopped in front of a house in the inner city.

"Got home."

Li Chengqian got off the carriage, put his arm around Qingzhu's waist, and spoke affectionately.

Qingzhu was a little shy. There were other maids behind her. Although it was a bit against custom for His Royal Highness to touch her in public, it was actually a way of expressing his love for her. Her status in the palace would also rise. "Your Highness, is this the new house you bought?"

"not mine."

Li Chengqian took Qingzhu by the hand and put a bunch of keys into her hands, "This house is yours."

Qingzhu widened her beautiful eyes, surprise blooming on her face like fireworks.

My parents tried their best to buy such a big house in the inner city of Kyoto, but they couldn't get it. Your Highness just gives it to me?
Qingzhu's gratitude was beyond words, but Li Chengqian told her not to thank him too quickly because there would be a surprise later.

Push open the door.

Open it and take a look.

Inside the house was a pretty young girl who was about to blossom. She was a little uneasy at first, but when she saw that the person who pushed the door open was her sister, she ran over excitedly.

"elder sister!"

"Qing Su!"

Ye Qingzhu's worries about her younger sister just now disappeared. She was so moved that she almost cried when she hugged her sister. Only then did she know what the real surprise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to give her was. It was not only the house, but more importantly, his younger sister.

"temple"

Ye Qingzhu was so moved that she wanted to pour out her heart for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Suddenly, she remembered that Li Chengqian was not wearing a dragon robe at that moment, and her sister did not recognize the Crown Prince's noble status and bow to him. She was about to call out to His Royal Highness to introduce her sister, but was interrupted by Li Chengqian who smiled and shook his head.

You sisters are very close, so just chat first. I won’t disturb you.

Ye Qingzhu pursed her red lips, her heart trembling slightly. Just now when she revealed her identity in front of the Second Prince, she felt inferior for a moment and felt that she was just a pawn of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Not only would she die, but her sister would also be killed by her.

But everything that His Royal Highness did for her completely dispelled her last bit of worry. Ye Qingzhu burst into tears: "His Royal Highness is not using me as a pawn, he treats me sincerely."

【Loyalty: 91-99! 】

The younger sister noticed her elder sister's look, looked curiously at Li Chengqian who was walking towards the courtyard, and asked: "Sister, is that man your husband?"

Ye Qingzhu blushed slightly, lowered her head to hide her inferiority, and shook her head, "No."

The younger sister was a little disappointed, but she saw a gleam of light in her elder sister's eyes and smiled and said:
"But he treats me thousands of times better than an ordinary husband!"
