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

Chapter 19: No, buddy, did you really catch up with me?

She said she would be here in a moment, so Li Chengqian waited for a quarter of an hour. However, when they were dating before, it was considered fast if he waited for his girlfriend to put on her makeup for half an hour.
"His Royal Highness."

Fan Ruoruo bowed and saluted. She was wearing a light pink Guangxiu Liuxian skirt made of the finest material. It was an outfit she usually didn't want to wear. She would only wear it during rare poetry gatherings or important festivals. This showed how much importance she attached to meeting the prince.

She has an otherworldly temperament, like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world, with fair skin, flawless face, and delicate facial features that are very symmetrical, especially her lively doe eyes. She can be called an extremely rare beauty. What is even rarer is her intelligent mind and her higher level of thinking than other women.

"Miss Ruoruo, there is no need to be polite when traveling today. Let's go."

Li Chengqian walked in front, followed closely by Fan Ruoruo. Aunt Liu stood by the door with an aunt's smile on her face, watching the golden boy and jade girl go out together. If Ruoruo could become the Crown Princess, her and the Fan family's status would also rise and be different from usual.

There was only one prince's sedan parked at the door. Usually only Fan Jian would use the Fan family's carriage, and the other spare one had also left.
Fan Ruoruo was a little anxious. She was also afraid that Sizhe's escape to Kyoto overnight would be discovered.

Fan Ruoruo was not allowed to ride in the sedan chair that the Crown Prince rode in. Although the two of them had an engagement from His Majesty, they had not officially gotten married. If they rode in the same sedan chair in advance, Fan Ruoruo's reputation would be in jeopardy.
"What should we do?" Aunt Liu was also very anxious. Who could she borrow a sedan chair from in such a short time?

"Don't worry, I'm ready."

Li Chengqian waved his hand, and a servant came from the back with a spare sedan chair. This was specially prepared for Fan Ruoruo in case of any emergency.

"Thank you, His Royal Highness."

Fan Ruoruo bowed slightly, holding Li Chengqian's arm, and after she got into the sedan chair, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. She quietly lifted the curtain at the window and secretly considered the appearance and behavior of the prince. After what happened just now, Ruoruo was still quite satisfied with him.

"He's meticulous, handsome, tall, and pretty good-looking, hehe."

First impression score, max it out!

Li Chengqian and Fan Ruoruo visited Kyoto and took her to see many unknown but very beautiful scenery. People are very happy when they are close to nature. Fan Ruoruo's big eyes were sparkling along the way, and she was very happy to receive a bouquet of roadside wild flowers personally woven by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"These flowers of different colors put together look so beautiful. How did you come up with this idea, Your Highness?"

Fan Ruoruo held flowers in her hands and smiled as brightly as a flower.

Li Chengqian was also puzzled. Did Ye Qingmei not spread the art of flower arrangement? It seems that I can teach Ruoruo how to arrange flowers, what flowers will look better when paired with which flowers, and the flower language behind different flower species. I will teach them all in the future.
Tired of shopping.

Li Chengqian took Fan Ruoruo to eat at a roadside stall. Eating and shopping is usually a dating mode that many girls like, and the places he chose were places that Ruoruo didn't often visit:

She was the daughter of a wealthy family, and although the customs in Qing were open, women could travel freely.

But the beautiful scenery in the remote suburbs and the special snacks in the scattered alleys.

It is something that Fan Ruoruo hardly ever comes into contact with under normal circumstances.

Li Chengqian was unassuming, feasting on wontons at a stall in an unknown alley:

"These wontons are small and exquisite. When you bite them, the aroma will explode your taste buds after they are soaked up with the soup. You can try one in one bite."

Fan Ruoruo found it very novel, and ate wontons like the prince, being generous and ladylike at the same time:

"Mm! It's delicious. This is my first time eating in a place like this. It tastes surprisingly good."

While Fan Ruoruo was chewing the food, her little face was puffed up like a hamster, and she asked curiously:

"Your Highness, what do you mean by taste buds?"

"."

Li Chengqian was embarrassed.

Perhaps he let down his guard when he was with Fan Ruoruo, so modern words came out of his mouth. No wonder Fan Xian couldn't help blurting out words after staying with him for a long time.
Before Li Chengqian could figure out how to respond, the noise coming from behind him attracted Fan Ruoruo's attention.

Two yamen runners were eating at this stall. The empty plates were piled up almost higher than them, but they had no intention of buying anything.

The gray-haired, elderly man humbly asked them to pay the bill:

"My two lords, I am just a small business, and I can't afford to eat like this."

Upon hearing this, the two yamen runners immediately showed ferocious expressions on their faces. They pushed the old man down with contempt and cursed:
"Since when do I have to pay for my meals?"

"Open your eyes wide, we are officials of Kyoto Prefecture, how can you rob me?"

"Don't waste your words on him. This old loser will behave himself after a beating!"

Fan Ruoruo clenched her fists in worry and looked at the Crown Prince for help. Seeing that he had no intention of getting up, she wanted to move herself, but Li Chengqian held her back and said, "There's no need for us to deal with this kind of trash. Just sit down and watch." At this time.

The old man fell to the ground with a bruised face and blood on his old hands. He covered his face with blood and said, "I was wrong, sir!"

But begging for mercy was of no use. The two yamen runners wanted to fight again, but a dark shadow flashed by.

Li Chengqian's personal maid, Luan Hongyu, knocked out the two men with a snap of her fingers and saluted to the prince.

"Amazing."

Fan Ruoruo was filled with admiration, and together with Li Chengqian, she helped the fallen old man up and put a piece of silver on the table, "Grandpa, I'll help them pay the bill."

"Thank you, thank you benefactor!"

The old man knelt down and wanted to kowtow to the two of them, "I have never seen adults as kind as you, who even pay for meals!"

The two learned that any adult who was dressed in official uniform and looked powerful and influential could eat at such vendors for free.

If the two yamen runners had not eaten too much and the old man was in urgent need of money to treat his wife's illness, he would not have dared to ask for it.

"This world"

Li Chengqian sighed. Any small yamen runner could oppress the people at will. It was really rotten to the core!
When Fan Ruoruo saw the prince sympathizing with the people, she had a better understanding:
"I misunderstood Your Highness just now. I'm sorry."

"No, I didn't do anything."

Li Chengqian changed his tone and said, "Even if I helped him once, I can't help him every time, and I can't help thousands of people like him."

Fan Ruoruo was a little surprised that the prince thought the same as she did, and she couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards him:
"Your Highness, my brother is right. You are very different from before."

"What's the difference?"

“It’s different everywhere.”

After Fan Ruoruo finished speaking, she seemed to feel that what she said was a bit ambiguous and inappropriate, and turned her face away with her ears slightly red.

In an instant, she was so charming and beautiful that she outshone all the other beauties.

Li Chengqian's heart moved, and he walked up to Ruoruo:

"What I want to do and what your brother wants to do are the same thing."

"What's going on?"

"Would you like to see it?"

Fan Ruoruo raised her pretty face, looked at the prince, and nodded vigorously, "I want to!"

Li Chengqian accompanied Fan Ruoruo to the gate of the Procuratorate of Vegetables and Vegetables. From a distance, he saw people from the Supervisory Office standing guard.

Fan Xian was a little surprised to see Li Chengqian getting off the carriage first, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

Li Chengqian moved sideways, revealing Fan Ruoruo who was hiding behind him, giving Fan Xian a surprise.

"Come and see how powerful my brother-in-law is in commanding the Overwatch Council."

Li Chengqian finished speaking with a smile, and Fan Ruoruo's cheeks turned red.

But I didn't deny it, or feel embarrassed.
Is that the default?

Fan Xian blushed a little: No, buddy, you really chased my sister?

　I repeat:
　　If you keep nitpicking about the plot, I won't ban you even if you are a serious reader. I will keep it to give you the right to discuss and express your opinions on the plot.

　　If you go too far and start attacking my work and my character from talking about the plot, then I will have to doubt whether you are a reader. Is it necessary for a normal reader to write thousands of words to criticize my work and my character?

　　I really hate authors who ban their readers for no reason, but if this kind of person is still jumping around and is the only one leading the pace from beginning to end, then I'm sorry, I have to ban you too.
