"Ahem, Wan'er, what do you think of Fan Xian?"

"I listen to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Lin Wan'er said shyly that she was a girl after all, so even if she liked him, she would never admit it in person.

"Listen to me, then I have to think about it carefully. After all, I can't let you down. That's it for today. I'll go back to the East Palace and think it over carefully, and then decide whether to persuade my father to take back his order."

In order to marry Fan Ruoruo, I directed and acted in a great show, and even got shot by an arrow; if you want to marry Lin Wan'er so easily, you're dreaming.

"No, there's nothing to think about. Wan'er's meaning is clear enough."

Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly away, Fan Xian became anxious.

"How dare you! Even though you are Ruoruo's elder brother, you still have to know the rules of etiquette."

Li Chengqian suddenly changed his attitude, took Fan Ruoruo's hand, and walked out the door.

"Don't leave now. We haven't made things clear yet. Wan'er, don't leave either."

As soon as Li Chengqian left, Lin Wan'er also left with a blushing face, and Fan Xian became even more anxious.

"Mr. Fan, please go back."

Fan Xian wanted to chase him, but Lin Gong was still alive.

"Lin Gong, Brother Lin, you are my brother. You also understand what Gang Wan'er means. She has a good impression of me."

"I'm sorry, I really didn't see that. Mr. Fan, please go back."

Will Lin Gong be nice to Fan Xian?

Chapter 221 Encountering the cold

Three days have passed since I took Fan Xian to the Royal Villa for a blind date.

In the East Palace Study

Bisha waits for the moon and spring, and red sleeves add fragrance to the night to read.

Fu Wanqiu and Fu Wanqing accompanied Li Chengqian on both sides as he read "Dream of Red Mansions" at night.

"Your Highness, it's late at night. If you don't go back to your room to rest, the Crown Princess will be worried."

Fu Wanqiu fed Li Chengqian a bite of cake and then persuaded him.

"Are you so afraid of Ruoruo that she'll punish you to copy books again?"

Li Chengqian pulled Fu Wanqiu into his arms and teased.

"So Your Highness knows everything. Then why don't you come to save me and my sister?" Fu Wanqiu said coquettishly.

"If I don't come, Ruoruo will at most punish you to copy a book; if I come, she will definitely let it go this time, but next time when I'm not around, you will have to bear the consequences."

Li Chengqian pinched Fu Wanqiu's little face and teased.

"Your Highness..." Knowing that what he said was correct and realizing that if she wanted to get to the top, she had to rely on something, Fu Wanqiu looked at Li Chengqian with a lustful face.

"I beg for your favor, Your Highness." Thinking of the last time her hands were swollen from copying books, Fu Wanqing was much more relaxed than her sister.

"Little goblins, I'll play with you guys for a while..."

For a royal family member, lust is not a problem; having no offspring is a big problem; Fan Ruoruo is still young, so Li Chengqian doesn't have to worry too much about the Fu sisters.

…………

"Miss, please take some rest. I just received news that the Crown Prince went to the Fu sisters' place tonight."

Fan Ruoruo's maid Xiaoping said after entering the room.

"Humph, these two bitches."

It is said that women in the palace are jealous and aggressive, but it is the general environment that forces them to be like this, and Fan Ruoruo is no exception.

"Miss, His Highness hasn't come here for three days. What happened?"

The maid Xiaoping said worriedly, knowing that she and Fan Ruoruo would suffer together or prosper together.

"Nothing. There are many people in the East Palace now, and His Highness is afraid that I will be hated by others, so he deliberately ignored me for a few days."

If Xiaoping hadn't seen Fan Ruoruo gritting her teeth in hatred just now, she would have actually believed what he said.

"Miss, I have something to say but I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Xiao Ping, you are an old man I brought from the Fan Mansion. There is nothing you can't say."

At this moment, Fan Ruoruo was a little confused and asked someone to help her make a decision whether she should lower her head.

"Miss, the palace is no different from other houses. If you have any conflicts with the Crown Prince, it's best to make it clear as soon as possible. Now in the East Palace, besides the Fu sisters, there are many people who are eyeing the Crown Prince."

The maid Xiao Ping reminded her that she was afraid that Fan Ruoruo would suffer if she insisted.

"Okay, Xiao Ping, I understand what you mean. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just has a small misunderstanding with me. I will explain it to him tomorrow morning. Don't worry, go down and rest early."

Fearing that the team would lose morale and become difficult to lead, Fan Ruoruo gave his subordinates reassurances.

.........

The next day

The jade-like face was lonely and tearful, and a pear blossom was wet with spring rain; it was the first time that Li Chengqian saw Fan Ruoruo like this.

"Ruoruo, what's wrong with you?"

"Your Highness, Ruoruo is here to apologize to you. My brother was rude and did not know the rules of etiquette. He offended Your Highness that day."

Fan Ruoruo knelt on the ground and solemnly bowed to Li Chengqian to admit her mistake.

"Are you such a stingy person in my heart?"

Li Chengqian pulled Fan Ruoruo over and helped her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Then why has Your Highness been..."

"Why have I ignored you these days?"

"Um"

Fan Ruoruo said with a blushing face.

"I want Fan Xian to use Ruoruo as an excuse to distance himself from the Eastern Palace."

"Because of the financial power of the internal treasury."

"Well, I'm afraid that the second brother will stir up trouble and arouse my father's suspicion, which will not be good for anyone."

Li Chengqian made this decision for other reasons: First of all, as the protagonist, Fan Xian has the attribute of suppressing his teammates. Unless you are lucky enough, you can find out how Teng Zijing died.

Secondly, as a Voldemort, Li Chengqian was afraid that frequent contact with Fan Xian would expose his identity as a time traveler. In just half a day in the royal villa, he had already shown such signs, so he decided to have less contact and maintain some mystery.

And just as Fan Ruoruo told her maid Xiaoping yesterday, Li Chengqian was afraid that she would be targeted; Li Yunrui was just a small boss, and if Emperor Qing wanted to cut off Fan Xian's connection with the Eastern Palace in the future, getting rid of Fan Ruoruo would definitely be the most effective means.

So Li Chengqian's role as a scumbag definitely had good intentions.

…………

Fan Mansion

As an old scoundrel who managed to survive to the end, Fan Jian was naturally not a person who followed the rules; after his daughter became the Crown Princess, he inevitably placed spies in the East Palace.

"Look"

Fan Jian handed Fan Xian a message he had just received, also considering his intentions.

"Ruoruo Donggong is indifferent. Li Chengqian, that bastard, actually treated her like this. I'm going to settle the score with him. Dad, what are you laughing at?"

Your daughter suffered a loss at her husband's house, and you actually laughed. Is this what a normal father should do?

"Humph, it's only today that I feel comfortable handing Ruoruo over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Fan Jian stroked his beard, looking very satisfied.

"No, Dad, if Ruoruo is not well received in the Eastern Palace and Li Chengqian treats her badly, aren't you worried? Ruoruo is your own daughter."

Worry makes one confused, and since this matter was caused by himself, Fan Xian lost his usual calmness.

"What is good and what is bad? The deep affection of the royal family is actually the greatest cruelty. Li Chengqian treats Ruoruo like this because he is truly thinking about her."

"You said he was trying to protect Ruoruo, but he is the crown prince. If he can't even protect his own woman, how can he be the crown prince?"

With Fan Jian's reminder, Fan Xian reluctantly understood Li Chengqian's idea, but he could not accept his approach.

"He is not only protecting Ruoruo, but also sending us a signal. From today until you marry Lin Wan'er and take charge of the inner treasury, you and our Fan family must keep your distance from him and act with caution."

When it comes to political intrigue and cunning, even ten Fan Xian tied together would not be a match for Fan Jian.

"Are you saying that King Cheng will target us?"

"Not only Prince Cheng, but also the eldest princess and other members of the royal family. They will regard you as a thorn in their side."

Fan Xian has an eccentric personality, so Fan Jian feels it is necessary to tell him the seriousness of the problem.

"Father, if the capital city is so dangerous, why did you let me go there? And the power of the inner treasury is obviously a hot potato."

"That's what your mother left for you. No matter how hard it is, you have to take it back. And that chicken leg girl, Lin Wan'er, are you going to marry her or not?"

Ever since Fan Ruoruo married into the Eastern Palace, Fan Jian had hesitated as to whether or not to let Fan Xian come to Kyoto.

Should I live a stable and ordinary life in Danzhou, or enter this bottomless Kyoto city, go through hardships, and become a master who can control his own destiny.

Ye Qingmei, how could Ye Qingmei's son be a mortal? Fan Jian finally chose the latter.

Chapter 222 Assassination

宫内

Guangxin Palace

Li Yunrui was playing with an incense burner filled with sandalwood, while a young maid behind her was carefully combing her hair.

Normally, combing hair should be an easy job, but combing Li Yunrui's hair is an exception, it is a life-threatening job.

The maid was already very cautious, but something went wrong and a strand of her hair fell on the dressing table.

"Your Highness, please spare me, Your Highness, please spare my life. I know I was wrong..."

"Okay, get up. Am I that scary?"

If we didn’t know what happened to the previous two boyfriends, the words coming out of Li Yunrui’s cherry lips would still be very convincing.

"Your Highness, Wanqiu requests to see you."

The young eunuch at the door reported.

"Why is she here? Let her in."

In the past they had always been in contact secretly, but today she came to see him openly. Li Yunrui was a little unsure of Fu Wanqiu's intention until he saw her clothes and the palace maids who accompanied her.

"I have met His Highness in Wanqiu."

"Well, get up now. I was wondering why you had time to come and see me today. It turns out that my nephew praised you."

Li Yunrui joked with a smile.

"Your Highness's grace in giving me a new life will be unforgettable to me."

After being promoted to Fengyi by Li Chengqian, with his tacit consent, Fu Wanqiu immediately went to Li Yunrui to express his loyalty.

"You all go down."

The palace maid beside Li Yunrui gave the order, and seeing this, Fu Wanqiu also waved her hand to signal the accompanying palace maids to retreat.

"So it's true that that little bitch Fan has fallen out of favor with the Crown Prince?"

"It's not like he fell out of favor. The Crown Prince was just a little angry at the Crown Princess because Fan Xian was unreasonable."

Fu Wanqiu picked up the comb on the table and naturally helped Li Yunrui comb his hair, just like when he first entered the palace.

"Over the years, among all my maids, only you and Wanqing can satisfy my taste."

Just like the Empress Dowager liked the Queen serving her grapes, Li Yunrui was very satisfied at this moment that Fu Wanqiu was combing her hair, not because of her skill, but just for the sake of show.

"Your Highness, thank you for your praise. It is my lifelong blessing to serve you all these years."

Fu Wanqiu's answer was very humble.
