It is normal for intellectuals to look down on each other. He Zongwei and his companions became more and more excessive. In the end, even Guo Baokun felt that it was a bit too much.
It was at this time that their door was kicked open.
He’s finally here, why is it him?
Seeing the door kicked open, Guo Baokun finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw that it was Fan Sizhe who came in, he was instantly disappointed.
"You said that Dream of the Red Chamber is a filthy and vulgar book that insults civility, and you still want to ban it?"
Fan Sizhe pointed at He Zongwei's nose and asked.
"So what? I haven't even asked you where you come from. Why are you so ill-mannered?"
He Zongwei drank a little bit of wine, so he dared to say anything.
"Just admit it. I'm going to hit you."
Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. Fan Sizhe was counting on making a fortune from selling "A Dream of Red Mansions", so how could he allow anyone to slander him like this? He raised his fist and punched He Zongwei twice.
"You, you actually dare to hit someone, do you still have the law?"
"Law? I am your law."
Fan Sizhe was still not satisfied and continued to rush forward and beat He Zongwei violently.
"It's just a verbal dispute, don't use force, don't use force."
Fan Sizhe was not his target, so Guo Baokun hurried forward to persuade him.
"Get out, or I'll beat you too."
After Fan Ruoruo became the Crown Princess, Fan Sizhe acted like he was the third oldest and the second oldest.
"This is intolerable. Brother Guo, this matter has nothing to do with you. Let's teach this little bastard a lesson."
If only He Zongwei was beaten, the other talented men would have thought of just sitting back and watching. But now that Guo Baokun was humiliated, they had found an opportunity to show their loyalty.
Chapter 216 Li Hongcheng
"stop"
Following this loud shout, everyone stopped fighting, even the most arrogant Fan Sizhe was no exception.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince"
The person who came was Li Hongcheng, the prince of Jing.
"You are all either sons of wealthy families or well-educated scholars. It is not proper for you to fight in public."
Li Hongcheng has a high emotional intelligence, and even when he curses people, it makes people feel comfortable.
"Your Highness, it's not us who are causing trouble. It's just that this person is going too far. Look how he beat me..."
He Zongwei was the only one who suffered a loss, as he was hit hard by two punches from Fan Sizhe.
"Fan Sizhe, come here quickly."
Fearing that their brother would suffer, Fan Ruoruo and Fan Xian also arrived at the scene.
"Meet the Crown Princess"
Before marrying into the Eastern Palace, Fan Ruoruo was already a famous talented woman in Kyoto. Many people had seen her, and now as soon as she showed up, everyone recognized her.
"Mr. He, my brother has been naughty, and I apologize to you here."
Fan Ruoruo looked like she was going to apologize to He Zongwei. Even Li Hongcheng didn't dare to accept the offer from the Crown Princess, let alone a mere He Zongwei.
"Your Highness, your words are too serious. Your brother and I only had a quarrel of pride. How can it be elevated to the level of making apologies? Even if we have to make apologies, we should make them to the Crown Princess. It must be because we were too noisy and disturbed the Crown Princess and her brother's reunion, so your brother came to argue with us."
When I sobered up, I was still scared and broke out in a cold sweat.
He Zongwei no longer has the sharp edges he had when he first came to Kyoto. Now he is as smooth as he can be.
"Hey, Prince Jing is here too?"
Fan Ruoruo looked as if she had just seen Li Hongcheng.
"Hongcheng has met my sister-in-law."
Li Hongcheng is slightly younger than the prince, so it is his duty to call Fan Ruoruo sister-in-law. However, no one noticed the loneliness in his eyes when he lowered his head.
"How come you have time to come to Yishiju today, Prince?"
"Oh, sister-in-law, Hongcheng is going to hold a poetry gathering at his mansion tomorrow. I came to Yishiju today to invite some talented scholars and beautiful ladies to attend the gathering tomorrow."
Li Hongcheng came to contact Fan Xian on the orders of the Second Prince. Naturally, he couldn't tell the truth in front of Fan Ruoruo.
"Poetry gathering? Humph, the prince is in a good mood."
Fan Ruoruo didn't believe that Li Hongcheng had to come to Yishiju in person to invite people to hold a poetry gathering.
"This must be Mr. Fan who wrote the Dream of the Red Chamber. There will be a poetry gathering in my house tomorrow. I wonder if I would be honored to invite Mr. Fan to come over for a chat."
Li Hongcheng also knew that the reason he gave was ridiculous, so he had to change the subject and explain his purpose.
“Will there be pretty girls in poetry?”
Li Hongcheng was direct, and Fan Xian was even more direct; ever since he met the chicken leg girl in the Qing Temple yesterday, his mind was full of thoughts about this woman; now he was looking forward to meeting her again all the time.
“There will indeed be many talented women coming.”
Li Hongcheng did not expect the other party to be so direct, but a true gentleman is naturally elegant, and Fan Xian's naturalness did arouse his favor.
"Okay, I'll go then."
Fan Xian agreed readily.
…………
"Brother, it's no coincidence that Li Hongcheng showed up at Yishiju today. He must be going after you."
After returning to the Fan Mansion, Fan Ruoruo said to Fan Xian.
"Oh, you've figured it out. Not only Li Hongcheng, but also the scholars in the next room. Their appearance is probably not accidental."
"You said they were talking big and deliberately belittling The Dream of the Red Chamber in order to lure us over?"
After Fan Xian said this, Fan Ruoruo also reacted.
"It's Guo Baokun"
Since Fan Xian was a foreign man, Qian Chunqiang would naturally not let him be alone with the Crown Princess.
"Eunuch Qian, what did you say?"
"Replying to the Crown Princess, it was Guo Baokun. After his servant saw us entering Youlan Pavilion, he booked the Fuqiu Pavilion next door. This must have been planned by him."
Cao Zhengchun is an all-round talent. With his ability card, Qian Chunqiang is more than just a simple thug and bodyguard.
"Guo Baokun? You said that one of those people was Guo Baokun, the son of the Minister of Rites?"
When he first arrived at Yishiju, Guo Baokun was as low-key as possible, especially after Fan Ruoruo showed up; so Fan Xian did not know his identity at the first time.
"Brother, do you know him? Do you have a grudge against him?"
"Isn't Guo Baokun the prince's study companion? He showed up at Yishiju today. Is he following the prince's orders?"
Fan Xian ignored Fan Ruoruo and looked at Qian Chunqiang and asked.
"Although Guo Baokun is the prince's study companion, his father, the Minister of Rites Guo Youzhi, is the eldest princess's man. Even his status as a study companion was obtained by the eldest princess through the relationship with the queen."
The Crown Princess was right beside him, and Qian Chunqiang felt that he needed to explain for his master.
The eldest princess?
This eldest princess really has a wide circle of friends. Not only is Prime Minister Lin her lover, but even the Minister of Rites is her man. Fan Xian felt a little wary of this mother-in-law whom he had never met.
"Miss, there is a messenger from the East Palace."
Although Fan Ruoruo is already married, the servants in the Fan family are still used to calling her Miss.
“Send Him In”
"Greetings, Princess. This is the letter the Crown Prince asked me to give you."
When the messenger from the Eastern Palace met Fan Ruoruo, he respectfully handed over a letter.
"what happened?"
Seeing Fan Ruoruo frowning as she read the letter, Fan Xian asked.
"Nothing, something happened in the East Palace, and the prince asked me to go back quickly; and the prince asked him to tell my brother that he arranged a meeting for you and Princess Lin."
Of course, Li Chengqian wrote more than just this in the letter. He also recounted how the eldest princess, Emperor Qing, and the empress dowager sent him beautiful maids after Fan Ruoruo left the Eastern Palace.
Yes, not only the Princess and Emperor Qing, but also the Queen Mother joined in the fun after learning that Fan Ruoruo had left the Eastern Palace and returned to her parents' home.
"The meet-up, is it a blind date?"
"It's fine if you say so, brother. The prince's letter said so, saying that he wants brother and Princess Lin to decide whether to get married or not."
Thinking that Fan Xian could decide his own marriage, Fan Ruoruo was sincerely happy for him and a smile appeared on her face again.
As for those slutty girls who are now in the Eastern Palace, Fan Ruoruo has been prepared for this since the day she received the imperial decree to grant them marriage, but she did not expect that this day would come so soon.
"You arranged a blind date for me. My brother-in-law is really thoughtful. Ruoruo, please thank the prince for me when you go back."
Fan Xian said this from the bottom of his heart. It was the first time he felt that his brother-in-law Li Chengqian was somewhat approachable.
"Sure. I'll go back first then."
"In such a hurry? Aren't you going to wait for Dad to come back and say goodbye to him?"
"No, you have to apologize to my father for me. By the way, this is my token in the East Palace. If you miss me, you can take the token to the East Palace to find me. No one will stop you.
Eunuch Qian, please arrange for someone to pack up the gifts, and we will return to the palace as soon as possible."
There was a fire in the backyard, and Fan Ruoruo was eager to go home.
"Here, are you leaving now?"
Although he felt a little uncomfortable about Fan Ruoruo marrying into the Eastern Palace, Fan Xian was genuinely loving towards his sister.
Chapter 217 Giving Gifts
Xuan room
Hou Yi, should it be Emperor Qing, was still playing with his orange bow, shooting arrow after arrow at the armor.
"Your Majesty, I just received a message from my subordinates that Fan Xian secretly went to the Supervisory Council to retrieve a document and also questioned the real culprit of the assassination in Danzhou. The document he retrieved was the file of Teng Zijing, No. 534, Dingzi. The people in the Supervisory Council said that this person should be dead."
"No, this person is not dead. He entered the capital with Fan Xian."
"Your Majesty, isn't Fan Xian deceiving the emperor?"
Bullying the emperor is a serious crime, but what Emperor Qing said next surprised Eunuch Hou.
"No one in the whole court would deceive the emperor. As long as he can get things done, it doesn't matter if he tells a few lies."
"Your Majesty is too kind."
Eunuch Hou still didn't understand what Emperor Qing meant. I won't bother with you while you can do things, but when you can't do things or I find someone to replace you, your death will be here.
"Will Fan Xian attend tomorrow's poetry gathering?"
"Yes"
"Where's the second child?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Cheng did go to Yishiju, but he did not show up."
"Where's the eldest princess?"
"Let people spread the news that Master Fan beat someone up."
"Oh, I've made a lot of progress since last time."
Although Li Yunrui has been challenging the bottom line, Emperor Qing still has feelings for her.
"Where is the East Palace?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has asked the Crown Princess to return to the palace."
"He asked the Crown Princess to return to the palace? He didn't do anything else?"
