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

Chapter 60 Fan Ruoruo is jealous, the prince often comes to the brothel?

The carriage drove towards Baoyue Tower.

Li Chengqian hugged Fan Ruoruo in his arms, still thinking:

When he learned that Emperor Qing had saved the Second Prince once and summoned him to the palace to meet him, Li Chengqian already had a plan in mind: As for Emperor Qing's way of using him as a whetstone to make things difficult for him, he could make appropriate concessions, but he could not be unprepared.

In this game of thrones, Emperor Qing is not only the biggest banker, but also a part-time referee.

In addition to winning over personal connections and linking Fan Xian and the Fan family to the title of crown prince, Li Chengqian also has to maintain the hearts of the people and gain the recognition of officials. He also needs to improve his strength so that he can be used in the assassination at the Hanging Temple that is bound to happen in the future, or even in the Battle of Mount Dadong.

But martial arts skills are acquired from childhood. The prince once neglected his training, perhaps on purpose. In the eyes of Emperor Qing, if the heir is too strong, it will be a threat to him, so he can practice, but not too hard.
"All I can do now is to cultivate my own power, of which intelligence organizations are an indispensable part. If Baoyue Tower can be used by me and become an organization spread across the country and even other countries, it will be able to help me."

Li Chengqian went to Baoyue Tower to take charge of subsequent matters. In addition to reducing the impact of this incident on his reputation among the people, he also wanted to turn this place into his intelligence agency. The plan was: to transform Baoyue Tower!

"Your Highness, there are people ahead, blocking the road."

Qingzhu reported the road conditions ahead. Li Chengqian lifted the curtain and saw a large group of noble family children blocking the road leading to Baoyue Tower. However, they were not blocking the prince, but the carriage belonging to the Supervisory Council.
"Fan Xian, get off here!"

"What rights do you have to seal off Baoyue Tower? Do you know who the big boss behind Baoyue Tower is?"

"Fan, get down here. Don't think we're afraid of you. We are all members of aristocratic families, descendants of famous and prestigious families. Do you believe that we can beat you up? Will you dare to fight back?"

A group of dandies who lived in luxury were holding sticks and looked fierce, like a group of spirited young men engaging in a fight. However, Li Chengqian knew that this group of dandies in the feudal society were much more ruthless than those gangsters. They had killed civilians and raped women. If they had a grudge, they would take revenge!
Wang Qinian frowned and turned back to ask, "Sir, what should we do? Turn around and leave? We can still avoid them if they can't be provoked. These kids are descendants of nobles, we can't fight them."

Fan Xian snorted in the carriage. If he dared to throw a wheelchair at the emperor's son, how could he not dare to offend these noble sons? Fan Xian lowered the curtain and said calmly, "Just drive past them. If they dare to attack, it will be considered as legitimate defense."

What is self-defense?
Wang Qinian thought that this must be Master Fan's new words, so he didn't think much about it and just followed what he said, pretending he didn't see anyone, and drove the carriage towards this road. This angered these hot-blooded young masters, and they were ready to fight, jumping up and down in anger:
"To despise us is to despise the prince!"

"We have the prince's support, so we are not afraid of him!"

"Go ahead, kill this lawless Fan Xian!"

The young masters and their servants brandished their weapons and rushed towards Fan Xian.

Li Chengqian could have watched the show, but when he saw the people on the roadside who were unable to dodge in time, he accidentally blocked their way and was beaten up. The street vendors who were unable to move away in time were also smashed to pieces.

Li Chengqian couldn't bear it, so he drove the carriage forward, blocking the two forces.

"Who is it? So blind?"

"Wait, it looks like it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Oh no, even though we have the support of the prince, this is the crown prince!"

The dandies were so frightened that they stood there in a daze. They were all showing off their power and looking furious, but it was as if a basin of cold water was poured on them, and their anger was instantly extinguished.

Li Chengqian lifted the curtain and got off the carriage. He also slowly led Fan Ruoruo down with him. Then he turned around and looked at them: "I will give you ten seconds. Smash the weapons immediately, restore the damaged stalls to their original state, compensate them, and apologize. Do you understand?"

The playboys were in a panic and in a mess. Li Chengqian smiled and waved his hand, and the secret servants behind him followed him out: "If you don't do what I said, you will bear the consequences. The time is about ten, nine, eight."

The playboys quickly obeyed and bowed to the prince to admit their mistakes. In less than ten breaths, the street returned to its original state. Fan Xian got off the carriage and walked towards Li Chengqian with a smile on his face: "Your Highness the Prince is kind-hearted. It doesn't matter if I get hurt, but you can't bear to hurt the people."

This is saying that the prince watched the show first and then took action later.

"A bunch of furry kids, they can only hurt people, not you."

Li Chengqian chuckled and walked side by side with Fan Xian towards Baoyue Tower. Fan Ruoruo followed them obediently and eavesdropped on their conversation: "They are Third Brother's friends. They were instigated by Second Brother to block you on the road. I didn't hurt them because I was protecting Third Brother."

Li Chengqian patted Fan Xian on the shoulder:

"You can fight with my second brother, but don't involve other people."

"Your Highness, it was you who fought against the Second Prince, wasn't it you?"

"My second brother and I are good friends, how can there be any reason for us to fight?"

Li Chengqian said shamelessly: "You wrote a good poem. We are from the same roots, why are you so anxious to hurt me?"

Fan Xian: “.”

My mother tongue is silence.

"Your Highness, I can no longer run Baoyue Tower. What do you mean by taking over this place?" Fan Xian asked in doubt. He came here on the orders of the Crown Prince to have the Supervisory Council hand over Baoyue Tower.

Li Chengqian guided him step by step, "Tell me, if Baoyue Tower is really like what Fan Sizhe said, only selling art but not selling bodies, can it do it?"

"No way? Then how do you make a living?"

"I've been thinking about this these days. Do you remember the memorial ceremony you held in front of Baoyue Tower that day? So many people came to this place to recite your poems, writing in their minds, with scholars and writers gathering here. Isn't this a romantic and elegant event?"

Fan Xian was still thinking: "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean?"

Li Chengqian and Fan Xian put their arms around each other's shoulders and said, "If Baoyue Tower is to be used as a place to entertain scholars and literati, providing them with an elegant place to recite poems, write couplets, drink wine and play pot-throwing. The courtesans can play music and accompany the scholars in singing poems and eulogies. Isn't this a different kind of happiness?"

Fan Xian thought quickly: Drinking, rolling dice, accompanied by beautiful women, music, singing and playing games, isn't this the ancient version of KTV? ? ? A brothel can also be played like this? How did the prince come up with this?
"Great! Great! I can come to such an elegant Baoyue Tower in the future!"

Wang Qinian clapped and cheered on the side. It was unknown whether he was flattering or was really surprised by this novel idea. Perhaps it was because of the change of Baoyue Tower, which was completely different from the brothel, that he was able to escape from Madam Wang and come here.
Fan Xian also nodded: "I think this plan is feasible, but I don't know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came up with this idea?"

Fan Ruoruo raised her eyebrows slightly. The prince was so familiar with the brothel, could it be that he came here often?

"Yes, Your Highness is very smart, but how could he come up with such brilliant ideas without field research?"

Li Chengqian was sweating profusely
