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

Chapter 37 Flirting with Fan Ruoruo, the Second Prince is coming

The Second Prince's Mansion.

When Li Chengze heard the news that Fan Ruoruo had entered the palace to look for the prince, a gloating smile appeared on his face:

"I almost died at the hands of Li Chengqian this time. Thanks to Fan Ruoruo for saving my life. If I had really been charged with attempted regicide and murdering the Shangshu's offspring, I would have been locked up for a long time."

Xie Bian flattered:

"Your Highness has a perfect plan. He easily defuses the Crown Prince's trap and even catches him off guard. It's really brilliant. Now we just have to wait for the rumors to spread. Those mad dogs in the Censorate will naturally bite the Crown Prince and Fan Xian to pieces!"

Li Chengze put the grapes into his mouth, feeling a little proud:

"Our Crown Prince claims to be a benevolent monarch, but in the end he still lost because of his benevolence and righteousness. If he was a little more ruthless, he wouldn't have lost so miserably."

He thought he had defeated the prince, but he didn't know that in the eyes of Emperor Qing, he had already lost.

Xie Bian nodded in praise.

Li Chengze stood up, not minding the fun:
"Let's go to the Yannian Palace to visit this beautiful couple. Remember that Wan'er is also going to hold a family banquet today. Although she didn't invite my second brother, we are all family, so of course I have to go. It would be fine if I went with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengze's mouth curled up sinisterly.

Yannian Hall.

Li Chengqian helped Fan Ruoruo to stand up, and at the same time used the technique of identifying people to analyze her situation:

【Fan Ruoruo】

[Cultivation: None]

[Potential: Medical skills, shooting, acting]

【Loyalty: 70】

[Although she has developed feelings for the Crown Prince, she still does not fully trust him. At this moment, she feels guilty and remorseful towards him. If she can handle this properly, she can gain trust from him and increase his loyalty.]

As expected, Fan Ruoruo is not such an easy girl to conquer.

I haven't succeeded yet, I still need to work hard
Fan Ruoruo looked at the Crown Prince with some surprise:

"Your Highness, I have caused you trouble, don't you blame me?"

Li Chengqian shook his head:
"I have learned the whole story from Fan Xian. If you misunderstand that I am lingering in the brothel and remain indifferent, I will be angry, because if so, it means that there is no love between you and me, and it is just a marriage contract."

"Fortunately, you are angry, which is a good thing."

Possessiveness is an emotion that arises only after a couple truly recognizes their relationship, and it is also one of the concrete manifestations of love.

When Fan Ruoruo heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could understand her current mood and expressed his approval of her behavior, she felt as if she had found someone with whom she could resonate with her soul.

Many people say that women should follow the three obediences and four virtues. Even if the husband indulges in revelry day and night and has ten concubines, it only shows how outstanding the man the woman married is, but it does not allow the woman to express dissatisfaction with her husband.

This is jealousy!

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not think so. Instead, he felt that her behavior was justifiable and expressed his understanding:

"Your Highness, do you really think so?"

"Of course, I lied to you that you were a puppy."

"Your Highness."

Fan Ruoruo, who had been holding back her tears, could no longer hold them back. These past few days, she had been accused of being impulsive and acting on impulse, which was unlike her old self. However, only Li Chengqian could understand her and tolerate her.

She cried for a while before she recovered her breath:

"Your Highness, but there are rumors in Kyoto"

"That was the work of my second brother. This assassination was all done to expose Baoyue Tower and to anger the officials of the Censorate so that they would criticize the Fan family. If the situation develops seriously, Fan Sizhe might be arrested and convicted."

Fan Ruoruo finally understood the Crown Prince's intentions. It turned out that she had completely misunderstood him.
"Your Highness, it was Ruoruo who was dull-witted and failed to see the truth, thus disrupting your plan. But what should we do next? Sizhe brought this upon himself, so let him be punished alone. What I am more worried about is: will he implicate you?" As expected, he is not my biological brother.

Li Chengqian shook his head: "It's okay."

"A blessing in disguise. Even if I succeeded, it wouldn't be of much use. His Majesty would at most confine my second brother to the imperial court for half a year in order to keep a check on the court. Although I failed on the surface, I actually gained His Majesty's recognition and a little trust. I won."

Fan Ruoruo wiped her tears, pouted and muttered:

"Your Highness, if you were not a three-year-old child, you must have said this to comfort me."

I feel pity for her cute look, and she cries so beautifully. It doesn’t hurt to have such a beautiful wife to comfort her!
Li Chengqian reached out to wipe away the remaining tears on her cheeks and said teasingly:

"With me, you can always be a carefree child."

Fan Ruoruo felt the touch of fingers and skin. She had never had such close physical contact with a member of the opposite sex. Even if Fan Xian had at most touched her head, Ruoruo would have stopped him for fear of messing up her hair. But now, she knew that this was overstepping the boundaries, but she could not bring herself to back down.

Her ears secretly turned red, and the blush gradually spread across her perfect face.

Li Chengqian stopped when he saw that he was ahead. Touching once was teasing, but touching for a while was harassment:
"If you don't believe it, just look at this."

Li Chengqian took her to the imperial calligraphy. Looking at the domineering font and His Majesty's seal, Fan Ruoruo finally believed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not lying to her just to coax her:

"Congratulations, Your Highness, but when you saved me, you didn't expect it to be a blessing in disguise, did you?"

"You are my Crown Princess, why do I need a reason to save you?"

Fan Ruoruo's face flushed and her heart was beating fast. She lowered her head and dared not look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. However, she had a lot more trust and admiration for him in her heart:
【Fan Ruoruo】

【Loyalty: 70-75! 】

"The princess has invited me. I will take you to the family dinner later."

"Hmm~"

·······
County Palace.

Lin Wan'er held a family dinner today, and Ye Ling'er came to help.

They mainly learned the truth that the prince rescued Fan Ruoruo in Baoyue Tower, and specially organized a condolence bureau for them to show their concern. In addition to the prince Fan Ruoruo, the eldest prince and the eldest princess of Northern Qi, as well as Fan Xian, who Lin Wan'er cares about the most, were also invited.

At this time, Lin Wan'er was absent-minded, thinking about something.

Ye Ling'er sighed and told her bestie:
"We were both married by His Majesty, so why are Ruoruo and I so different? I heard that the Crown Prince often takes her out to play, and the two of us are in love and have a lot of fun. He even saved her life at a critical moment. But what about me?"

Lin Wan'er looked at Ye Ling'er and put her hand on her shoulder to comfort her.

"The Second Prince has never contacted me, and has never even taken the initiative to look for me. He and I are completely strangers and have no feelings for each other. If it weren't for the Ye family not being implicated, I really wanted to run away from the marriage."

Lin Wan'er felt sorry for her sisters. She was also married to Fan Xian by His Majesty. Before she really knew him, she also thought about escaping the marriage. Fortunately, Fan Xian was a good and interesting person:

"Maybe, after spending time with him, you'll develop a crush on him?"

"Come on, I don't like his skinny arms and legs, and his bangs in front are hard to describe."

"."

Lin Wan'er fell silent, not knowing how to comfort her sisters.

At this time, the second prince who was visiting the Yannian Palace sneezed for no apparent reason:
"The prince must have said something bad about me behind my back."

Li Chengze came to the front of the Yannian Palace and looked at Qingzhu, who was dressed in green. As his former spy, she was now the prince's personal maid. He was impatient and spoke in a bad tone:

"Go tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that I want to see him."

Qingzhu nodded, and when he turned back to the palace, hatred was in his eyes.

　I'm still sick these two days, so I can only update later, please forgive me
