Movies and TV: The heroine of the blind date

"Favoring a few palace maids is not a big deal, but Fan is the Crown Princess after all, you still have to give her the respect she deserves."

Wu Zhu's actions made Emperor Qing realize the power behind Fan Xian, or the influence left by that woman after her death; the world was not yet at peace, and it was not the time for internal consumption, so he decided to take a step back.

Fan Xian and Fan Ruoruo grew up together in Danzhou when they were young. This chess piece may play an unparalleled role at the right time.

"My son understands."

Li Chengqian more or less understood Emperor Qing's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, Fan Xian is outside the door..."

Eunuch Hou came into the room and reported.

"Fan Xian and Wan'er's marriage has been decided. Many people in the palace want to meet him, so I summoned him in..."

"I'll take my leave then."

He didn't ask him to stay, but that meant he was asked to leave. Li Chengqian was already very clear about Emperor Qing's style of doing things.

Boy, you better be careful.

After Li Chengqian went out, he saw Fan Xian looking around and gave him a look that told him to take care of himself.

Roger that

It was a little ambiguous to convey feelings with eyes, but Fan Xian certainly understood Li Chengqian's meaning. He straightened his clothes and stopped squinting.

"Fan Xian, the assistant lawyer of the Imperial Academy, is here to see you..."

"Your humble servant Fan Xian greets His Majesty."

This should be the first time the father and son met face to face.

"Get up, this isn't a big court meeting, there's no need for so many formalities."

Emperor Qing waved his hand to signal Fan Xian to stand up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Fearing that Fan Xian, this unlucky star, might misbehave and bring disaster to the Fan family, Liu Ruyu taught him the court etiquette for two whole days without sleep.

"How is your grandma doing in Danzhou these years?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Grandma is doing well in Danzhou."

The mind of an emperor is such that one word can decide life or death; Emperor Qing's simple words made Fan Xian feel close to him.

"You just ran into the prince at the door, didn't you? I heard that your last meeting wasn't very pleasant. What was it about?"

"I, your humble servant, am ignorant of etiquette and have offended the Crown Prince."

Although he felt close to him, Fan Xian still did not forget the identity of the person in front of him.

Chapter 234: A Day Tour in the Palace (Part )

"He is not a stingy person, and you are also a smart person, so it should not be difficult for you to see his intentions. Although the method is a bit crude, it will be fine as long as someone believes in it."

As soon as Fan Xian entered the room, Emperor Qing started playing the emotional card.

It is said that there is no family affection in the royal family. That is all a rumor. As the emperor, I still haven't forgotten your grandmother, my wet nurse, after so many years. The prince even specially played a role with you to prevent your Fan family from attracting attention. We in the royal family treat your Fan family well, right?

Since it's good, shouldn't you take care of Wu Zhu's bastard and restrain him.

"I am ignorant and don't know the Crown Prince's intentions; but my Fan family has received the Emperor's grace for generations, and even if I die a thousand times, I can't repay even a little bit of it."

Fan Xian's answer was very cunning. I don't know what the prince's intention is, but our Fan family is definitely a loyal family that knows what is good and what is bad.

"You are quite good. My country Qing has been planning to fight against Qi for a long time. Such a big event cannot be without a reason. The incident on Niulan Street just gave my country this opportunity. You have done a great job in killing the Northern Qi spy, so I appointed you as the assistant lawyer of the Taichang Temple."

The assassination of you in Niulan Street was done by secret agents from Northern Qi, wasn't it? Moreover, I paid you hush money for this matter, so you should know what's good for you.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong. That day on Niulan Street, if it weren't for the timely arrival of Commander Liu of the Eastern Palace and the desperate efforts of my family's guards to stop us, I would have been unable to kill the spy, let alone escape unscathed. But the ten guards who died because of me..."

I'm fine now, but my men can't die in vain, right?

"They are all loyal defenders of the Lord, and I will reward their descendants;

I asked you to come here today not just to talk about these things. You have met Wan'er, right? Are you satisfied with the marriage I arranged for you?"

Forget it, I paid for the funeral expenses of your guards, but you have to think clearly, it's not me who is going to kill you, your mother-in-law is not me, if you want to go on forever, or this marriage will not be concluded.

"Satisfied, satisfied. To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I first met Wan'er at the Qing Temple. I was struck by her beauty at the time. I even swore in the Qing Temple that I would never marry anyone else in my life."

It's not necessary. He wants to seek justice for those who died unjustly, but he can't sacrifice his wife. Fan Xian weighed the pros and cons and compromised.

The conversation between the two was confusing, and people without a certain level of skill would really not understand it.

.........

"Your Majesty, Princess Lin is waiting outside the door."

Eunuch Hou came in again, passing the microphone.

"Now that Wan'er is here, I won't keep you here. She grew up in the palace, and many concubines in the palace treat her as their own daughter. It's a rare opportunity for you to visit the palace, so accompany her around."

The emotional card. From the moment Fan Xian came into the palace until now, Emperor Qing has always played the emotional card, and now he has played the trump card.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."

As the saying goes, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Although Emperor Qing looked kind, Fan Xian had long wanted to get away. Now that he heard that he could be with his chicken leg girl openly, what else was there to think about?

…………

"You, why are you here too?"

Lin Wan'er went to the palace today to visit Li Yunrui at Guangxin Palace. She was called here by Eunuch Hou on the way. She was a little shy when she saw her fiancé.

"The emperor asked me to come here. He said he wanted me to walk around the palace with you."

If Fan Xian's IQ was originally 120, then it would obviously be reduced by % after seeing Lin Wan'er. At this moment, he looked dazed and smiled foolishly at Lin Wan'er.

"You're talking nonsense. Uncle is not that boring."

After hearing Fan Xian's words, Lin Wan'er's face turned even redder.

"You still don't believe it? If you don't believe me, ask Eunuch Hou. He was right beside His Majesty when he said this."

"To Princess Lin, Master Fan did not lie. It was indeed His Majesty's intention to ask him to accompany you around the palace."

Fan Xian didn't expect Eunuch Hou to cooperate so much, the bank note was missing just now.

"Then, then I don't have to see my uncle?"

"No need, you can just accompany Master Fan to have a good look around the palace, but in my opinion, you'd better go to Hanguang Palace first. The Queen Mother has been thinking about you these days."

Eunuch Hou also watched Lin Wan'er grow up, and gave some advice with a smile.

"Thank you, Eunuch Hou."

"No thanks, no thanks. I also hope that you two can live in harmony and happiness."

Not all eunuchs are evil. Eunuch Hou has always liked to help others succeed.

Hanguang Hall

Compared to the casual Emperor Qing, the Queen Mother was much more rule-abiding. When she heard that Lin Wan'er and Fan Xian were asking for a meeting, she frowned.

"Why is he here?"

The "he" that the Queen Mother was referring to was naturally Fan Xian.

"The emperor summoned him to the palace this morning, saying that he should accompany Princess Lin to meet the Empress in the palace."

Hong Sixiang answered from the side.

"I see. Since it was done by His Majesty, there must be a deep meaning behind it. Please let them in."

At this time, the Queen Mother already knew Fan Xian's true identity, and also knew that the incident in Guangxin Palace a few days ago was related to him; but she still had to give face to Emperor Qing.

"Wan'er pays respects to the Queen Mother."

"Your humble servant, Fan Xian, pays respects to the Queen Mother."

The two respectfully kowtowed to the Queen Mother. Why was Fan Xian so happy this time and didn't look at who was around him?

A man's knees are made of gold if you don't give him enough. If you give him enough, I can kneel until you go bankrupt.

"Everyone, get up. Wan'er, you are weak. When you come to my place next time, don't go through all these empty formalities."

The Queen Mother kept looking at Fan Xian while she spoke, and when she saw him helping Lin Wan'er to stand up, she nodded reluctantly.

"You must be Fan Xian, a guest in a sad autumn far away, and a single person on stage after suffering from illness for a hundred years.

It is a bit old-fashioned for a young man to write such a poem; Wan'er has had a hard time, and neither has you. I hope that the two of you can get together and make life easier."

Towards Li Yunrui, the biggest advantage of the empress dowager over her was that she knew how to adapt to the times; the emperor's meaning was very clear, now was not the time to turn hostile, so she cooperated and acted like a kind-hearted old lady.

In the palace, no matter what your status is, if you want to live long, you have to have excellent acting skills; the Queen Mother lived long enough, so her acting skills are quite outstanding.

"what happened?"

After coming out of Hanguang Palace, Lin Wan'er kept frowning, Fan Xian said with concern.

"I was thinking about the Queen Mother."

"Empress Dowager? She's very kind." Fan Xian asked puzzled.

"Although she was strict with me before, I could feel that she cared about me; this time, her attitude towards me was much better than before, but it was also a bit distant, which I was not used to."

Lin Wan'er was a very sensitive person, and she was able to sense the subtle changes in the Queen Mother.

"I can feel it, are you overthinking it?

Maybe the Queen Mother feels that you are about to get married and is a little reluctant to let you go, so she wants to be nice to you?"

"Well, what you said makes sense. Maybe I am overthinking it."

Although Lin Wan'er was sensitive, she was not confident. When Fan Xian tried to persuade her, she denied her feelings again.

Chapter 235: A Day Tour of the Palace (Part )

"Ruoruo, why are you here?"

Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er were going to Kunning Palace to visit the Queen, the nominal head of the harem, when they unexpectedly ran into Fan Ruoruo.

"It was Aunt Liu who was afraid that you would offend the noble, so she sent me a message and asked me to come and help you."

Fan Ruoruo said unhappily that she was tormented by Li Chengqian until midnight last night and wanted to take advantage of the quiet time in the early morning to catch up on some sleep, but Liu Ruyu did this to her.

"It's her. I didn't expect she cares about me so much."

"She was afraid that she would be implicated by you. If I had known that my sister-in-law was with you, I would not have come here."

Fan Ruoruo said while yawning.

"What's wrong? Are you very sleepy? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

I didn't sleep last night.

Fan Ruoruo didn't have the courage to say this to Fan Xian, so she nodded with a red face.

"Where are you going?"

Now that she was here, Fan Ruoruo was in no hurry to go back.

"We just paid our respects to the Queen Mother in Hanguang Palace and were planning to go to Kunning Palace to visit the Queen."

Lin Wan'er replied.

"Don't go to the Queen Mother's place. I just came from her place. She was copying Buddhist scriptures. She doesn't like to be disturbed."

The two things the queen did most every day were to go to Hanguang Hall to take care of the empress dowager's food and daily life, and to copy Buddhist scriptures in Kunning Palace.

"Is that so? Wouldn't that be too rude?"

Because of Li Chengqian's sudden rise, in the current world, the relationship between the Queen and the Princess can only be considered mediocre. She did not intervene in the Danzhou assassination case, so Fan Xian's only label for her is his sister's mother-in-law.

"It's okay. I'm here with you. Besides, she told me not to go there because she asked me to take you."

Fan Ruoruo has a good relationship with the Queen. Last time when she gave benefits to Li Chengqian, only the two maids sent by the Queen were plain-looking; even the peace sutra that Fan Ruoruo used to torment the Fu sisters was also bought from the Queen.

"So where do we go next?"
