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

Chapter 41: Zi Yue is getting more frightened, Deng Zi is getting more frightened!

Princess's family dinner.

As the crown prince, Li Chengqian should have sat in the first seat. Li Chengze, who had originally wanted to sit in the first seat, felt disgusted when he saw the crown prince coming, and sat in a seat separated from him as if avoiding a taboo, with Fan Xian sandwiched between them. The remaining seat was reserved for the eldest prince who had not yet arrived.

The "four" princes gathered together, and the four concubines also sat opposite their respective spouses, chatting happily.

Except for the second prince.

Li Chengze saw Ye Ling'er drinking alone across from him. She didn't even want to talk to him or even look at him. He felt bored and teased Fan Xian beside him:
"Aren't you sick? How can you still go out to a banquet and have the energy to hit me in the face with your wheelchair?"

Fan Xian looked at Lin Wan'er and didn't take him seriously:
"Pretending."

Li Chengze asked: "What about your father?"

“That’s just pretending.”

Li Chengze sneered: "The whole family pretends to be sick, does this count as deceiving the emperor? If so, then don't I have to hide the crime of deceiving the emperor for you?"

Fan Xian was not afraid: "Your Highness, please say less, or I will make a mistake again."

"Look at you, you're so angry."

The atmosphere between the two was tense, and they looked like they were about to fight.

Lin Wan'er asked whether to send the guests away but was rejected. Fan Xian planned to take advantage of the presence of the Crown Prince to have everything clear with the female members of the family. This was also what Li Chengqian meant.

Li Chengze was bored and continued to sow discord:

"Look at you. You have such a bad temper just because you have the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. But if the ministers and officials knew that your Fan family opened a brothel and you, Fan Xian, helped His Royal Highness the Crown Prince through the back door to enter the sealed Baoyue Tower, what would they think? Couldn't His Majesty hear it?"

Fan Ruoruo, who knew the truth, clutched her pink circle, her delicate face flushed with anger.

The three ignorant ladies looked at the Crown Prince and Fan Ruoruo. They had heard the same rumors and were a little worried about whether their relationship could still be stable. Seeing Ruoruo so angry, they mistakenly thought that she blamed the Crown Prince but dared not say it.
Li Chengze then said angrily:

"Ruoruo, as the Crown Prince's second brother, I have a few words to tell you. Our Crown Prince has been playing with flowers since he was a child, and he is used to it. When you marry into the Crown Princess in the future, you must be more tolerant and patient. Don't be so impulsive and rush into Baoyue Tower. Read less useless books and learn more about women's virtues."

Li Chengqian dropped his chopsticks and said slowly, "Li Chengze, that's enough. You should know everything that happened in Baoyue Tower. I didn't expect you to be so shameless and dare to use this case to cause trouble?"

The three women were puzzled and their eyes switched from one to the other. Not knowing the truth, they were confused.

The Crown Prince was unwilling to criticize the Second Prince, lest he lose his composure in front of His Majesty, so Fan Xian spoke for him:
"It was clearly the Second Prince who sent assassins to Baoyue Tower to kill the Crown Prince, but they failed and almost killed my sister. If it weren't for the Crown Prince who risked his life to save Ruoruo, she would have died at the hands of your people. Where do you get the confidence to bite back now?"

As soon as these words came out, the three women's eyes widened:
They originally thought that things were just as the rumors said, that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was frequenting brothels and had bad behavior, but they didn't expect the truth to be like this. Fan Ruoruo was not blaming His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for frequenting brothels, but wanted to thank him for saving her life. The person she hated had always been the Second Prince!
As the host, Lin Wan'er asked, "Ruoruo, is this true?"

Fan Ruoruo nodded vigorously with anger in her eyes: "It is true!"

Lin Wan'er knew what was going on. There was hatred and fear in her eyes when she looked at her second cousin. After all, Fan Ruoruo was the sister of the man she loved. Li Chengze was willing to sacrifice human lives to pave the way for the throne. She was completely disappointed with "Shi Tou" and they could only be his enemies from now on.

The Princess of Northern Qi was horrified when she thought about it. She had just advised Fan Ruoruo that it might be a misunderstanding and that she should be more tolerant of the Crown Prince. She never expected that she was the one who was misunderstood. The truth was not as the rumors said, but that Ruoruo almost died and the Crown Prince risked being assassinated to save her.
No wonder they got along so well when they came here, that's why.

The Princess of Northern Qi stood up tactfully. As a Northern Qi person, she was not suitable to be present in the conflict over the crown prince position of Qing.

"You guys continue chatting. I'll go see if the eldest prince has arrived."

Outside.

The eldest prince rode at full speed and rushed to the princess's mansion.

The eldest prince happened to run into Fan Xian's subordinate Wang Qinian, and recalled the unpleasant experience when he entered the city: "You killed my warhorse outside the city?"

Wang Qinian quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "It wasn't me, it was Gundam, the one standing next to me." The eldest prince looked down at him: "Did you two do it together?"

Wang Qinian was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward to deny: "No, sir, I am more gentle."

The eldest prince looked at him and frowned, "Slippery, what's your name?"

Wang Qinian's eyes bulged and he said, "My name is Deng Ziyue."

The eldest prince looked around and did not see the eldest princess of Northern Qi, so he asked Deng Ziyue if he had seen her.

Wang Qinian said cautiously: "Your Excellency, Zi Yue just saw the princess passing by here."

The eldest prince became angry before he could finish and asked him why he didn't call the princess.

Wang Qinian: "Fortunately, there is the Crown Prince. She sent the princess to the palace."

The eldest prince breathed a sigh of relief.

The voice just fell.

The eldest princess of Northern Qi came over in a red dress, and the golden hairpin on her head swayed with the sound.

The eldest prince was stunned. When she entered the room, he turned around and said to Wang Qinian in a deep voice, "Deng Ziyue, right? I will remember you!"

Wang Qinian shouted loudly: "Deng is terrified, Zi Yue is terrified, Deng Zi Yue is terrified!"

After the eldest prince entered the palace, he did not rush to the banquet, but found a pavilion to chat privately. During the chat, he looked at the princess and did not speak. The eldest princess of Northern Qi was a little puzzled: "What's the matter?"

"My hair is messed up."

The eldest princess of Northern Qi attached great importance to her appearance and did not want to lose face for the royal family. She quickly tidied herself up and turned around: "Are you done?"

The eldest prince looked at her with a smile, and habitually reached out to help the princess adjust her bangs: "It's all right now."

The relationship between the two became closer and the ambiguity instantly heated up.

The Princess of Northern Qi shyly took a half step back.

The eldest prince finally reacted and quickly apologized, and even offered to swear an oath with blood that he would never do it again.

The Princess of Northern Qi was amused: "It's a good thing to be honest."

The eldest prince heard her muttering and followed her happily:
"Shall we enter the palace now?"

"Just wait a little longer."

The Princess of Northern Qi then told the First Prince why she did not enter the palace, and that the Crown Prince was actually assassinated by the Second Prince. The latter did not look surprised after hearing this, but rather angry at Li Chengze for not hesitating to kill his own brother in order to seize the throne:
"How could Chengze do this? I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

"Hey, don't say I told you that."

The eldest princess of Northern Qi could not stop the eldest prince, and followed him back to the banquet.

When the eldest prince saw Li Chengqian, he first performed the etiquette of meeting the crown prince, then came to the remaining seat and sat down next to Li Chengze, and asked angrily:
"I could sense from a distance that the atmosphere was not right. How did this family dinner become so murderous?

Chengze, tell me what you have done! "

Li Chengze's face turned black and he had a headache.
