Simultaneous travel: Each of me has a different golden finger

Chapter 171 Complex Relationship

“The fight for the throne has always been dangerous… Logically speaking, I shouldn’t have advised you to join it.

But if you want to investigate who assassinated you, you can indeed seek the help of the Third Prince."

Teng Zijing said seriously.

"Why?"

Teng Zijing looked strange and said, "You don't know why you came to Kyoto, do you?"

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"

Teng Zijing chuckled and said, "The inner treasury is the royal family's purse, and is managed by the current emperor's sister, the eldest princess.

The eldest princess has a daughter named Lin Wan'er. The emperor has long said that whoever marries Princess Lin will be able to take over the financial power of the inner treasury from the eldest princess. "

Fan Xian was puzzled: "What does this have to do with me?"

"It seems that you really don't know anything."

Teng Zijing laughed and said, "The Emperor has already granted you and Princess Lin a marriage!"

Fan Xian's face changed drastically.

You dog emperor, why are you doing this feudal arranged marriage? I want free love!
…………

Afterwards, under the planning of Emperor Qing, Fan Xian took a tour of the Qing Temple and returned to the Fan Mansion, feeling absent-minded.

"Ah, my chicken leg girl!"

Fan Xian was distracted and became even more determined to cancel the engagement.

"elder brother!"

Fan Ruoruo was very happy to see Fan Xian.

"Ruoruo, I haven't seen you for a long time. You've grown up now."

Fan Xian sighed and said that they had not seen each other for ten years since they separated as children.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Fan Xian said, "No one in Kyoto bullies you, right?"

"No."

Fan Xian nodded, then changed the subject and said, "Tell me, brother, how is your relationship with the Third Prince now?"

There is a reason why Fan Xian is so persistent in finding out information about the Third Prince.

When Fan Ruoruo was a child, she was brought back to Kyoto from Danzhou by her cheap father. At a party, she was spotted by the third prince and fell in love with him at first sight.

So far, I have been pursuing it tirelessly for many years.

Fan Xian and Fan Ruoruo have been exchanging letters for many years, so they are naturally clear about this matter.

To be fair, Fan Xian did not want Fan Ruoruo to marry the third prince. Royal affairs were not that simple.

But what gave him a headache was that Fan Ruoruo had kept her distance from the Third Prince in the past few years, but she suddenly changed her personality two and a half years ago, as if she was moved by the Third Prince's intentions...

However, this is not the main reason why Fan Xian is concerned about the third prince.

The third prince was precocious and clever since childhood, and several of his poems were circulated.

However, these poems are from the world in Fan Xian’s previous life!

"This Third Prince might really be my fellow countryman! I should definitely find some time to meet him!"

Fan Xian thought to himself.

"Brother! We haven't even started yet!"

Fan Ruoruo blushed slightly and said in a tender voice.

Fan Xian was helpless and said, "Brother, isn't this just caring about you?

Do you really have to marry the Third Prince?"

He originally wanted to be a rich man and live a carefree life, but he couldn't just sit back and watch his sister get involved in the royal struggle without helping her.

"Uh-huh!"

Fan Ruoruo nodded repeatedly and said distressedly: "But His Royal Highness the Third Prince doesn't seem to like me anymore..."

"What's the point of this?"

Fan Xian was surprised.

"Didn't you say that the Third Prince begged you but failed?"

His intelligence is behind!
"It was exactly two and a half years ago that the Third Prince felt tired and slowly let me go. Instead, he became very close to Princess Lin, who he grew up with.

Princess Lin has been frail and sickly since childhood and was raised in the imperial palace. His Royal Highness the Third Prince has been trying to please her in various ways since she was young.

So, Princess Lin also fell in love with the Third Prince and begged him for a long time...

Especially after the Third Prince found a miracle doctor and cured Princess Lin's stubborn illness!"

Fan Ruoruo said weakly. Fan Xian suddenly realized that it was the Third Prince who had come to his senses and turned back!
Having said that, he roughly understood the whole story.

As the saying goes, what you can't get will always cause you trouble.

The third prince has returned, but this has made his sister suffer. Fan Ruoruo has gotten used to the third prince's pursuit over the past four years, but now she doesn't pursue him anymore. She has a withdrawal reaction and has developed feelings for him instead.

Fan Xian looked conflicted.

From a standpoint, of course he has to help his sister, but then again, it seems that the Third Prince hasn't done anything bad?
"By the way, why didn't I see you mention this matter in your letter?"

"I am so ashamed of myself about this matter, how can I dare to argue with you?"

Fan Ruoruo covered her face with her hands.

"That's it."

The corner of Fan Xian's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Princess Lin, Princess Lin...

"No, who is Princess Lin?"

"She is the daughter of the current eldest princess.

Oh, by the way, she is also the one my brother has arranged to marry!"

Damn, this relationship is so messy!
A dark line appeared on Fan Xian's forehead.

"Woof, woof, woof!"

At this time, a big black dog ran out from the backyard and barked at Fan Xian a few times, as if trying to drive this stranger out.

"Little Blackie, stop barking!"

Fan Ruoruo scolded.

"Woo, woo..."

Little Heizi was very well-behaved. He stopped barking and trotted over to the two of them. He knelt on his hind legs and stuck out his tongue with a flattering look on his face.

"This big black dog is really smart."

Fan Xian was amazed and reached out to touch Xiao Heizi's head.

This dog really understood human nature. It saw that Fan Xian and Fan Ruoruo had a good relationship, so it stopped resisting Fan Xian.

"It's so big, why is it named like this?"

Fan Xian said strangely.

"This is the name given by the Third Prince, and he sent it to the mansion after his 'change of heart'."

Fan Ruoruo said resentfully.

'The name given by the Third Prince!'

Fan Xian's brows twitched wildly, and he was even more certain that Bai Jing was his fellow villager.

But Fan Ruoruo couldn't know about this, so Fan Xian didn't show any abnormality, but said: "Look, he is willing to give you a pet.

I guess it's not a complete breakup, maybe you still have a chance."

After hearing this, Fan Xian felt that something was wrong. Was he actively letting his sister and his fiancée compete for the favor of a man?
"Brother, you know nothing!"

Fan Ruoruo was dejected.

"What do you mean by this?"

“The third prince opened a store called Pet Shop, specializing in raising rare species, cats, dogs, parrots… everything.

On the opening day, the third prince gave one to all the ministers in the court, and there were even some in the palace!
You know what, the pet breeding skills in that shop are quite good. Every pet is as smart as Xiao Hei, and they are very popular among the powerful people in Kyoto.

Many young ladies have repurchased it to keep them company and relieve their loneliness.”

Fan Xian exclaimed, "Wow, that would be a ton of money!"

"Brother, get the point straight, hey!"

"Cough cough..."

…………

The Third Prince's Mansion.

A glimmer flashed in Bai Jing's eyes, but soon went out. A woman lay quietly in his arms, and said coquettishly: "Brother Bai, I don't like that engagement~"

"We should find a way to get our father to cancel the marriage. Fan Xian is a free-spirited person and I don't think he would like this marriage.

I will discuss this matter with him.”

Bai Jing smiled.
