Chapter 12: The marriage is successfully cancelled and Li Chengping becomes famous

"Your Majesty, I agree with Prime Minister Lin's proposal and I beg Your Majesty to cancel the engagement."

Fan Xian said.

Hearing this, Emperor Qing could no longer sit still and stood up and walked over to Fan Xian.

"Do you know what you are saying? Are you sure you want to cancel the engagement?" Emperor Qing said with a dark face.

Facilitating the engagement between Lin Wan'er and Fan Xian was part of his plan.

If Fan Xian hesitated for a moment today, Emperor Qing would have a reason to reject Lin Ruofu's request.

Who would have expected Fan Xian to be so straightforward? This made Emperor Qing feel a little troubled for a moment.

Fan Xian had no idea of ​​Emperor Qing's thoughts and only wanted to cancel the engagement as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, I believe that I am not worthy of Prime Minister Lin's daughter. I will definitely allow the marriage to be cancelled."

There was no hesitation in Fan Xian's words.

Emperor Qing was extremely angry, but even so, he was unwilling to give up.

"Fan Xian, the marriage contract is a matter of great importance. You cannot make a rash decision on impulse. I need to discuss this matter with Fan Jian first!"

Emperor Qing tried to find an excuse to get away with it.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the eunuch walked into the room quickly, lowered his head and came to the side of Emperor Qing, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Mr. Fan, requests to see you."

As soon as these words came out, the entire scene was silent.

Emperor Qing's expression turned visibly ugly: "Let him in!"

Eunuch Hou realized that Emperor Qing was in a bad mood, and left in a hurry with his head down.

soon.

Fan Jian walked in and bowed slightly to Emperor Qing: "Your Majesty, I am Fan Jian, your Highness."

"No need to be so polite. You've come at the perfect time. Fan Xian wants to cancel the engagement. What do you think about this?"

Emperor Qing deliberately dragged out his words, as he believed that with Fan Jian's ability, he would definitely be able to understand what he meant.

"Your Majesty, I think we should respect Fan Xian's decision. Since he doesn't want to, there is no need for this marriage to go ahead."

As he spoke, Fan Jian turned around and bowed deeply to Lin Ruofu who was kneeling on the ground.

"Prime Minister Lin, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault for not teaching my son well. My son is naughty and unworthy of your daughter."

Lin Ruofu smiled slightly: "Master Fan, you are too polite. My daughter is ill and is definitely not a good match for Master Fan Xian."

Emperor Qing's expression was even uglier.

He had clearly signaled to Fan Jian, but who would have thought that this guy would not listen.

Now that things have come to this, he can no longer find any excuses.

"Forget it, since that's the case, I agree to cancel their marriage." Emperor Qing said helplessly.

If there is a problem in this link, he will need to re-plan the subsequent things.

"I thank Your Majesty for your grace. I am sure that Your Majesty will grant me an imperial decree." Lin Ruofu said.

He wasn't sure whether Emperor Qing would go back on his word afterwards, so having an imperial edict was a safe bet.

At least there will be evidence. Even if Emperor Qing changes his mind in the future, he can use this imperial edict to justify his decision.

Emperor Qing's face darkened and he tried hard to suppress his anger.

"Eunuch Hou, please draft an imperial edict for me and give it to Prime Minister Lin!"

After the matter of breaking off the engagement came up, Emperor Qing was no longer in the mood to chat and impatiently drove everyone away.

Soon, news spread that Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er's engagement had been cancelled.

After learning the news, Li Chengqian immediately went to Guangxin Palace to find Li Yunrui.

"Haha, Aunt, good news! Father just issued an order to cancel the engagement between Fan Xian and Wan'er. Now we can finally rest easy!"

Li Chengqian laughed.

"It is indeed a good thing. I heard that it was because Fan Xian copied the third brother's poem at the poetry meeting. What's going on?"

Li Yunrui asked.

"Aunt, this time His Majesty was able to cancel the engagement, and my third brother played an indispensable role!"

Li Chengqian recounted the events of the poetry gathering at Prince Jing's mansion. When he mentioned the poem written by Li Chengping, he could not hide his admiration. "Not long after the third brother wrote the poem, Fan Xian also wrote the same poem. Do you think there is such a coincidence in the world?"

Li Yunrui said meaningfully.

Li Chengqian suddenly reacted.

"Aunt, you mean that Third Brother knew that Fan Xian would write that poem, so he wrote it in advance to lure Fan Xian into the trap!"

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian broke out in a cold sweat.

If this is true, then Li Chengping is too terrible, destroying a person's reputation silently.

If this were used on someone who values ​​his reputation, wouldn't it be more painful than killing him!

"I just said it casually, maybe it's really a coincidence, but from now on you should go to Lao San's place more often."

"After this poetry gathering, his reputation in Qing Kingdom's literary world will reach its peak!"

"If you ever ascend the throne, you may have to rely on his influence!"

Li Yunrui said seriously.

"Thank you for the reminder, Auntie. I'll make arrangements now."

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up. Now he had a reason to go to Prince Wen's Mansion, and he must seize this opportunity.

"Li Chengping, you little brat, I really underestimated you!"

Li Yunrui muttered to himself.

Her eyes flickered slightly and her red lips curled up slightly. For the first time, she felt a strong curiosity about Li Chengping.

at the same time.

The second prince's residence.

Li Chengze was not surprised to learn that Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er's engagement was cancelled.

"It's a pity. I was originally thinking of using Fan Xian's influence to influence the Crown Prince, but now it seems I have no choice but to give up."

Li Chengze sighed.

Now that the threat of the engagement is gone, the prince has no worries at all, and this will greatly increase the pressure on him.

"Your Highness, although Fan Xian is not involved, we can ask the Third Prince for help. As long as the Third Prince is willing to help, then the entire Qing Kingdom, and even the world's students, will want to become your disciples."

"With the help of the whole world, what does a mere prince matter?"

Xie Bian couldn't help but say.

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Chengping was instantly awakened.

"Yes, why didn't I think of such a simple thing? Bi'an, prepare a generous gift immediately, and let's go to Prince Wen's Mansion to meet my third brother immediately!"

……

As Emperor Qing was in a bad mood, Li Chengping was sent back in a carriage by Eunuch Hou.

Coincidentally, Li Chengqian had just arrived at the door, and the two of them got off the carriage at the same time.

"Haha, third brother, what a coincidence, we really are destined to meet." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

He stretched his head to look behind Li Chengping, and when he noticed Eunuch Hou following behind him, his pupils contracted rapidly.

"This old servant pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Eunuch Hou bowed, then turned to look at Li Chengping and smiled.

"Your Highness, please take a good rest in the next few days. I will take you to the palace when His Majesty is in a better mood."

After saying this, Eunuch Hou turned around and left in his carriage.

Li Chengqian was standing nearby and heard the conversation clearly, with waves of emotion rising in his heart.

He knew that Emperor Qing liked Li Chengping very much, but he never expected it to this extent.

He personally sent eunuch Hou to pick him up and drop him off. Even he, the crown prince, had never enjoyed such an honor!

Li Chengping stood there, looking in the direction of the imperial palace, a barely perceptible coldness flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Eunuch Hou hadn't said much along the way, but he said these words when the Crown Prince appeared. It was obvious that he was instructed by Emperor Qing!
