From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 87: Bah, no man is a good thing
The carriage was quiet all the way and the atmosphere was a little strange.

After a while, Fan Xian couldn't help but ask, "Prince, has it always been like this?"

Fan Ruoruo and Fan Sizhe were silent for a moment.

They don’t understand the prince!
Because it's out of reach.

In all these years, Fan Ruoruo had met the prince once, that time in Mingchun Garden, and that was the only time.

There is absolutely no overlap.

How do you want them to respond?
"Apart from some rumors, we don't know much about the prince." Fan Ruoruo thought for a moment and replied.

"Rumors, what are the rumors?" Fan Xian was still a little curious.

"There are many rumors about the Crown Prince in Kyoto. For example, there's the Crown Prince who destroyed the government offices, the Crown Prince who likes to sit in a wheelchair and feign illness to deceive others, and there's also the rumor that he's narrow-minded and at odds with Director Chen of the Inspection Bureau. He says he sits in a wheelchair all day to mock Director Chen, and there's also the rumor that he's a ruthless executioner who killed the six major salt merchants to seize salt profits. In short, his reputation isn't very good." Fan Ruoruo thought for a moment and said, "Also, there's the rumor that the Crown Prince has four powerful warriors under his command..."

"I know, I know. I know this." Fan Sizhe on the side rushed to speak, "The four great warriors under the crown prince's command; Mao Qiwu, the second most powerful person in the palace, he is the youngest ninth-rank upper-level expert in Daqing; Qin Yuan, the deputy commander of the palace guards, the commander of the crown prince's black cavalry, who was once the youngest ninth-rank expert in Daqing; Guo Baokun, the director of the Dao Judicial Department, Guo Qingtian; and the most mysterious one, Gui Zitian, who is said to have been snatched away from the Supervisory Council by the crown prince. He is proficient in various poisons and mechanisms and can kill people without being seen."

"Two ninth-rank officials, the Director of the Dao Judicial Department, and a mysterious poison master. It seems the Crown Prince has fully grown. But why did I hear when I came from Danzhou that the Second Prince has the greatest power in the court and is also a wise king?"

Fan Sizhe was bewildered, as this touched upon a blind spot in his knowledge. However, Fan Ruoruo thought for a moment and said, "It's true that the Second Prince has the greatest influence. The Crown Prince has four great warriors, but they are only four. I heard that the Crown Prince never makes friends with court officials. None of the officials in the court are close to him now. He even dislikes interfering in government affairs."

"Is that so?" Fan Xian nodded, and couldn't help but feel curious about this prince.

When the carriage arrived at the Fan residence, Fan Xian, who had originally wanted to go out for a walk by himself, lost interest and returned to the Fan residence with Fan Ruoruo and her brother.

"I almost got tricked again. Unfortunately, I'm not the same person anymore."

After the meal, Li Chengqian sat by the window, watching the carriage of the Fan Mansion leave, feeling the lingering echoes of the world's will.

Bringing Lin Wan'er to see Fan Xian today was not a coincidence as he said, but he did it on purpose. His purpose was also to observe. He wanted to see the destiny of Fan Xian, the protagonist of this era, and whether there would be any changes after the two met.

He succeeded.

The luck of Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er is extremely pure, which is obviously different from that of others.

After the meeting, Li Chengqian clearly felt that there seemed to be a mysterious force influencing his perception of Fan Xian.

A very mysterious power.

What do you mean?
I just can't understand it.

He couldn't understand it, but now, Li Chengqian was no longer a weakling. He couldn't change this power, but he could block it.

It’s not in vain that I read so many books on numerology.

As long as you keep your mind calm, control your inner thoughts and restrain your desires, you will not be affected.

The key to this power is that ordinary people cannot perceive it and are influenced and guided unconsciously. When it can be perceived, it is not that difficult to deal with.

"I just don't know whether the love at first sight between these two people is the result of the natural secretion of dopamine in their brains, or the result of the guidance of this force." Inexplicably, Li Chengqian discovered the highlight of the whole thing.

"It's such a pity that the Superman Experience Card was forcibly downgraded!"

Thinking of the Superman experience card, Li Chengqian felt a little regretful.

"Your Highness, where are you going next?"

Mao Qiwu appeared silently in the private room.

"Go back, I have something to see my mother."

"Yes!"

That night, in the Fan Mansion, in the study
Fan Xian told the prince everything that happened between him and the prince today.

Fan Jian stroked his beard and pondered for a moment. "So, you two just happened to run into each other today?" "That's right. We decided to go to Yishiju on the spur of the moment. When we arrived, the prince and his men should have already been in the private room."

"Yeah." Fan Jian nodded and asked, "How do you feel?"

"Very good." Thinking of Lin Wan'er, Fan Xian's face flushed slightly. "I think you have very good taste, Father."

Fan Jian rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't ask you about Miss Lin. I asked about the Crown Prince. How do you feel about him?"

"Huh?!" Fan Xian's face flushed, a little embarrassed. "Prince, I'm fine. He's quite kind, not as overbearing as the legend says. What he says makes sense."

Fan Jian's hand on his beard froze slightly, and he smiled bitterly, "Indeed, I haven't considered this matter enough. It seems I need to find a time to meet with the Princess."

Emperor Qing and Fan Jian are two old foxes. They have been lovers since childhood and grew up together. It is an exaggeration to say that they have a mutual understanding, but they still understand each other very well and are used to discussing everything. It is normal for the two old men to settle the marriage of their sons when they meet.

But both of them seemed to naturally ignore the existence of the eldest princess.

Emperor Qing doesn’t care. He is the emperor and can do what he wants, but Fan Jian can’t!

It is really not fair to pack up someone's daughter and run away, and then covet the power in his hands without even saying hello.

If no one had said anything, he could have just kept it a secret, but now that it had been said, and by the prince, if he didn't say anything, he would be ignorant.

"Are you relieved now?" Looking at Fan Xian who couldn't stop smiling, Fan Jian couldn't help feeling a little emotional. As expected, with such a beautiful face, which girl wouldn't love him? Lin Wan'er was no exception. However, it was a little unexpected that Fan Xian fell in love with her at first sight.

"By the way, I saw that Miss Ye Ling'er following behind the Crown Prince. Is she the future Crown Princess?" Thinking of the two girls he met today, Fan Xian asked curiously.

Fan Jian frowned at this. "Everyone thinks so, but neither the palace nor the Ye family has a clear explanation. At first, Ye Ling'er went there under the pretext of seeking martial arts instruction from Mao Qiwu, and gradually, she became more comfortable within the Eastern Palace. Later, Ye Ling'er became the Crown Prince's advisor, but His Majesty hasn't stated the specifics. After all, the Ye family has a Grand Master, and Ye Chong is also in charge of the capital's garrison. His position is too sensitive. If he were to marry the Crown Prince, the political situation would likely change."

"Your Majesty is unwilling to marry the Crown Prince to the Ye family?"

"It's not that I'm unwilling, but I'm afraid I have to wait until Ye Zhong is assigned to another position before this matter can be put into practice."

※※※

"What? You want to marry Fan Ruoruo and want me to propose marriage."

Inside the palace, the Queen, who was chatting with the Queen Mother, almost jumped up from her stool. Even the Queen Mother put down the snacks in her hand and looked at Li Chengqian in confusion.

"Yes, when I saw Fan Ruoruo today, I fell in love with her at first sight!" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"What about Ling'er?" the queen asked quickly.

Not to mention that Ye Ling'er has been going in and out of the Eastern Palace as if it were her home these past few years, and not to mention that the Ye family has a grandmaster, Ye Ling'er's father Ye Chong alone is important enough for the Eastern Palace to win over.

Now you come here and say you want to marry Fan Ruoruo, and even want me, the queen, to propose marriage. What are you trying to do?

If this matter gets out, will Ye Ling'er still be able to live as a human being?
What's the difference between you abandoning your wife and children and just having fun with them?
How should I explain this to the Ye family?
Li Chengqian looked a little confused. He raised his head and looked at the queen with an innocent look. "What do you mean Ling'er? There are so many people in the harem, what are you going to do?"

"Hmm?" The queen was stunned.

What will you do when your father has so many people in his harem?
What do you mean?
It’s so heartbreaking!

Suddenly, the queen understood the meaning of these words, and her face turned purple-red. She stared at the innocent-looking boy in front of her. Gradually, the boy's figure overlapped with another lonely and unruly figure.

Really down!
"Get out!"

In a rage, the queen grabbed the cup beside her and smashed it hard at Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian dodged by moving to the side.

"The child is in the East Palace, waiting for good news from the Queen Mother."

Then, he ran away.

"Bah, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, no man is a good thing!!"

Looking at the figure that hurriedly left, the queen spat fiercely.
