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

Chapter 56: Stop it, second brother, everyone outside is my people

"I, I'm qualified?"

Qingzhu was stunned for a while, and when she got a nod in response from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she screamed with joy. She was so happy. She had studied with masters like Luan Hongyu for more than a few months, and her hard work every day had not yielded any results.

But today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave her some pointers, which made her strength improve by leaps and bounds:

"Your Highness, how did you do it? Luan Hongyu has been teaching me for several months but she still can't teach me, who has no qualifications."

Qingzhu poked her finger, somewhat unbelieving, but Li Chengqian comforted her, "Everyone has talents that are difficult for others to detect. It's not that you don't have the talent, it's just that your talent was not discovered by Luan Hongyu, but by me."

"Practice your spear well in the future. This way of cultivation will make you like a fish in water and make rapid progress."

"Ok!"

Li Chengqian returned to the main palace of Yannian Hall and found Fan Ruoruo who had been waiting for him for a while. His heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, he was doing serious work with Qingzhu just now. If they had not been discovered like this, although there would be no consequences in this feudal society, his girlfriend would definitely be unhappy.

"Ruoruo, sorry for the long wait."

"No, I just arrived and was waiting for a while."

In order to make the prince feel better, Fan Ruoruo told a white lie.

Li Chengqian looked at Jiang Ziyan beside him, who was in a dilemma and smiled awkwardly:

Letting the Crown Princess wait is also for your Highness the Crown Prince.
Qingzhu came out with a spear, attracting their attention. Fan Ruoruo was a little surprised, but Jiang Ziyan's eyes lit up. This little action was seen by Li Chengqian. She paused, stepped forward curiously and asked:

"Sister Qingzhu, is there something different about you? You seem to have become much prettier!"

"I'm in."

Fan Ruoruo's eyes lit up. She had never thought that a weak woman could learn martial arts. "How did you do it?"

Qingzhu glanced at Fan Ruoruo and pulled up her bangs by her ears embarrassedly: "Hongyu had been teaching me for a long time without success. It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who sympathized with me and taught me how to use a spear. He could see the talent in me."

In front of the Crown Princess, she called herself a slave to emphasize the difference in status and not to cause trouble to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Fan Ruoruo blinked her big eyes, wishing that the Crown Prince could see her talent right now.

She also wanted to learn martial arts, medicine, and master various skills that could help the prince.

Jiang Ziyan came over eagerly: "Your Highness, what is my talent?"

Li Chengqian said unhappily, "Eat."

The girls laughed. Jiang Ziyan blushed, thinking that the prince was making fun of her. She was a little disappointed: "What kind of talent is eating? I also want to be as good as Sister Qingzhu and have a skill. Otherwise, His Royal Highness the Prince will always think I'm lazy."

Haha, you are setting up a character in front of the Crown Princess, right? Li Chengqian wanted to tease her:

“It seems there are other talents.”

Jiang Ziyan stared with her doe eyes, looking forward to it: "What is it?"

"sleep."

Li Chengqian left a few words about shrimp and pig heart, and took Fan Ruoruo into the Yannian Palace.

But Jiang Ziyan's defense was completely broken and she blushed. She hid in the corner and stamped her feet angrily: "I just love to eat and sleep, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is laughing at me again, humph!"

In the palace, Fan Ruoruo felt that the maids around the prince were not only interesting, but also extremely beautiful and distinctive. When getting along with the prince, they did not seem majestic or fearful, but rather lively and agile, just like her brother getting along with the maids around him naturally since childhood.

People tend to like things they admired in childhood. It is because of these similarities between the prince and Fan Xian that Fan Ruoruo gradually fell in love with Li Chengqian, and he tended to surpass Fan Xian in her heart.
"Just now outside the palace, I heard Zi Yan say that you were resting. I thought that you must be very tired after getting out of so many things recently. You need to rest more to replenish your energy. That's why I asked her to report to you and disturb you. Don't blame her."

Li Chengqian smiled as he looked at the beautiful and gentle Fan Ruoruo, liking her more and more: "Of course, I almost never blame the servants, and they didn't do anything to blame. I just felt a little distressed that my beloved woman had to wait for me for so long."

The prince can always come up with hot words.

Fan Ruoruo was conservative and quiet by nature, so she blushed shyly, but she was also very happy to hear it. Women are such contradictory creatures. She was embarrassed to look at Li Chengqian and responded delicately:

"I learned from my father and brother that Your Highness has cleared his name in front of His Majesty and has taken the opportunity to turn the tables on the Second Prince. Ruoruo was delighted and wanted to wait for you to come to Fan Mansion to find me to congratulate you, but I couldn't wait any longer, so I came to Yannian Palace to find you."

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, on regaining his reputation and turning danger into safety!"

Fan Ruoruo lightly tied up her soft and thick long hair, her face flushed as if she was tipsy, and coupled with her suggestive love words, Li Chengqian was moved and could not help but step forward to hold her hand and put it close to her face:
"I should have come to you that day to let you know I was safe. Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Fan Ruoruo pursed her thin red lips. Seeing that the prince immediately grasped the key point of her words, she was extremely happy. She would have avoided her hand due to shyness, but now she let the prince hold it in her arms and enjoy the intimacy of their skin:

"I'm afraid your Highness can't even leave the house now, right?"

"Ah."

Li Chengqian knew that Fan Ruoruo was disgusted by Li Chengze the last time she came, and he was just about to go out on a date, so he would tease his second brother first: "I missed you after not seeing you for a day. Ruoruo, shall I take you to visit the Second Prince?"

A triumphant smile appeared on Fan Ruoruo's face. She was also a scheming girl, but she didn't have bad intentions towards people close to her. Since there was such a good opportunity, she couldn't miss it. She had to go to the house to comfort the Second Prince for his depressed mood after being confined!

······
The Second Prince's Mansion.

The servant reported: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince and the daughter of the Fan family are asking for an audience."

Hearing this, Li Chengze's mood, which had finally calmed down, erupted like a volcano. He looked irritated, his breathing was disordered, and he bit his lips in anger: "What is he doing here? Bringing Fan Ruoruo to humiliate me, right?"

The servant had never seen the Second Prince so angry before: "Then are you still going to see them?"

"Humph! Of course we have to meet. If we don't meet, won't our relationship be at odds?"

Li Chengze went out to greet him personally. After all, the Crown Prince was "speaking up for him" in front of His Majesty, and he wanted to give him a clear conscience as a righteous brother! He had to be moved and greet him enthusiastically:
"Your Highness, since the confinement, those people who were enthusiastic about me have disappeared, and you are the only one who took the initiative to look for me!"

Li Chengqian held Li Chengze's hand and said, "Brother, this is too polite. We are brothers, how can you compare them with me? I am also very sad to know that your plea to His Majesty was unsuccessful. Ruoruo is even more sad. She has to come to see you in person. If you punish your brother, the pain will be on me!"

Fan Ruoruo bowed slightly, and her half-smile made Li Chengze very unhappy.

But all we can do is greet them with a smile, thank them, and invite them in to sit down.

But when there were no more outsiders in the palace, Li Chengze put away his smile:
"Your Highness, do you really think you have won?"

"if not."

Li Chengqian shrugged, fed Fan Ruoruo a piece of cake with his own hands, and wiped the cake crumbs from her lips with yellow satin. Then he slowly said:

"Stop it, second brother. All the people in Jingzhao Prefecture are mine."

Li Chengze's eyes widened, as if all his plans had been seen through by the prince:
"You, how did you guess that!"
