This was a private banquet, and the location was still arranged on the flower boats of Liujing River. However, this flower boat was particularly elegant, and there was no exaggerated feeling of the red sleeves that were rushing across the river. At this time, there was no rain or clouds on the river, and the river was covered with light breeze, and the water waves were soft. Compared with the crisp and pretty sounds that could be heard in the distance, I felt that the flower boat arranged by the second prince actually had a sense of being alone on the river and sea.

Fan Xian and Prince Jing Li Hongcheng talked and laughed all the way to the riverside. The guards pulled the horses. The two of them reached out to give in to each other and then got on the flower boat. He had a smile on his face, but he sighed deep in his heart. The prince seemed to be a very elegant person, but for some reason he was unwilling to be a prince and insisted on causing so many things in Qingguo.

On the slightly wet wooden board, when Fan Xian's feet were about to step on the side of the boat, he suddenly heard a sound of strings pulling out from the boat, without any intention of killing, only a sense of sincerity in the heart, and the sound of the song gradually arose.

"Just leaving the green water and green mountains, I came to the bamboo fence and thatched house. The wild flower road bloomed by the village wine tanks, and I was sucked in the bottom of the village wine tanks. I was owed to eat. The mountain boy was drunk and didn't advise us, and the white hair was covered with yellow flowers."

A smile appeared on the corner of Fan Xian's lips, and he walked in side by side with Li Hongcheng. Listening to the saliva hidden fun in the song, he became more and more curious about what kind of character the second prince was.

The bead curtain was lifted, and when I saw a young man wearing a blue silk shirt sitting on a chair in a very strange position, his head slightly tilted, his eyes slightly closed, and his face showed a very satisfied expression. He listened to the soft singing of the singer in the corner.

Without asking, this young man is naturally the second prince born to the current Emperor Qing Kingdom and Concubine Shu.

The second prince's sitting posture was indeed very strange. He was half squatting on a chair, like a farmer resting in the field. His green silk shirt covered his legs, but what was even more strange was that looking at his intoxicated expression and beautiful facial features, he revealed a sense of elegance and tranquility. He seemed to have been tired of everything around him. The past in this world was just about song.

The first thought of Fan Xian when he saw the second prince was: this person gave him a very familiar feeling. The second thought was that this person was very tired and his heart was very tired. The third thought was that this person was very thoughtful. He believed in his ability to look at people, but the scene was a little awkward. Yu Guang saw that the prince Li Hongcheng had already quietly picked up a chair and sat down, and he stood in the middle, looking at the second prince but didn't know how to salute.

The other party seemed to be only concerned about listening to the music and forgot about his guest. Of course, it was natural to let himself wait for a while as the other party.

The song finally broke. The singer hugged the guqin horizontally, bowed to the three of them in the hall, and retreated silently into the back room.

The second prince, who was squatting on the chair, seemed to be still immersed in the sound of the piano, and had not come to his senses for a long time. He still closed his eyes, slowly moved to the side with his right hand hanging in the air, touching the plate of grapes on the table, pinching the stems of the grapes with two fingers and lifting them up. He lifted them high, putting them in the air like a child, raising his head, opening his lips, closing his teeth, slowly biting off a very green grape, chewing it twice, and swallowing it. His throat moved very well, as if eating grapes was a very enjoyable thing.

Fan Xian was not anxious or restless, and looked at the prince with a smile, his eyes were quiet, but he did not let go of any small moves of the other party. He tried to see what kind of temperament the other party was.

After a while, the second prince sighed and groped the grapes in his hand back on the plate. Then he slowly opened his eyes. He seemed to know that the guest he invited had arrived in the boat. A strange smile flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his lips slightly raised, and a shy smile appeared.

Fan Xian's heart moved, and the familiar feeling became stronger and stronger.

The second prince looked at Fan Xian standing in front of him quietly and suddenly asked, "Since you are here, why not sit down?"

Prince Li Hongcheng sat next to him at this time, smiling and drinking tea, without saying anything to Fan Xian. Fan Xian also smiled gently and bowed to the second prince: "The prince is above, he will not be respectful and dare not sit."

The second prince looked at Fan Xian with a smile and said, "I have never welcomed you, and you don't have to respect me."

Fan Xian smiled and said, "The Second Highness does not need to welcome me, I must respect you."

The second prince smiled and shook his head, rubbed his right hand, which was dipped in some grape juice, on his blue silk shirt, and said, "There are only two brothers Hongcheng and I on this boat, and you are one of your brother-in-laws, where can you have the place of your highness?"

Fan Xian smiled and bowed his hand, and said nothing more. He sat down on the chair opposite the prince Li Hongcheng since he left. Since the second prince likes to play with famous scholars, although he is not good at it, he always knows how to sit in a sedan chair.

In fact, the two had no deep meaning in the previous conversations, but Fan Xian still felt very wonderful, because the second prince spoke very slowly, and the rhythm of his speech was always half a beat slower than that of ordinary people. So when talking, he always felt that the other party was talking a little suddenly. And Fan Xian felt more interesting that the more he looked at the second prince, the more familiar he became, but he didn't know where this sense of familiarity came from. He was very sure that it was not because of Wan'er.

"I paid for this flower boat, what do you think?" The second prince seemed a little eager to know Fan Xian's feeling about this flower boat. Fan Xian smiled bitterly, then looked at the arrangement of the boat, and found that no matter whether it was the pattern or the green basin in the corner, or the calligraphy and paintings hanging diagonally, the flower boat really didn't look like a flower boat, but it looked like a study room. He couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "Your Highness's flower boat is so quiet that it doesn't match the word "flower".

The second prince smiled slightly, looked up at him, and said, "It's good to be quiet."

Fan Xian suddenly felt that this conversation was really boring and difficult. He was about to turn his attention to Li Hongcheng, who was familiar with him, and he had already heard Prince Jing's words ringing in time.

"I said, can you two not be so tired of talking?" Li Hongcheng smiled and interrupted.

The second prince smiled and said to Fan Xian: "See? Don't think that we royal children are all boring people. Besides, you are married to Wan'er now, and you are a family. You have to walk around more in the future."

Li Hongcheng teased before Fan Xian: "Even if we don't have to do it, you are the second prince, and you will be in danger when you walk around."

All three knew that this was about Fan Xian going to the second prince to entertain the banquet several months ago and was assassinated by the Northern Qi assassin on Niulan Street. The three looked at each other, and thought of the past several months ago and afterwards, they all felt a little inexplicable and laughed at the same time.

After the laughter was over, the matter was probably revealed. Fan Xian said with a wry smile: "Although the Second Highness is not holding a Hongmen Banquet, he has to take this great danger to eat, which is really terrible."

The second prince and Li Hongcheng were stunned when they heard the three words "Hongmen Banquet", but their faces were so well concealed. Of course they had never heard of this allusion, but due to their noble status, they naturally couldn't ask for advice. The second prince smiled slightly and said, "Don't call him Your Highness, just follow Wan'er and call me second brother."

Fan Xian's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little troubled in his heart. The relationship was too close... There seemed to be some problems. He seemed to guess what he was worried about. The second prince lowered his hands in front of his knees and still squatted and smiled: "Don't be too cautious in everything. Wan'er is the treasure of the palace. Remember, you now have an older brother and are still riding a horse in the west. My second brother is still hiding in the Hanlin Academy to edit books. As for the third brother of the prince, you need to get closer. If there are more relatives, will it make you so troubled?"

Fan Xian smiled and thought to himself that these royal relatives were of course the root of big trouble, so he replied: "This is my blessing, but I don't call him Your Highness, and I really feel a little rude."

The second prince smiled bitterly and said, "Go home and ask Wan'er, how did she call me."

After the greetings, the banquet was open, and the table was filled with fresh seasonal vegetables and exquisite side dishes. Fan Xian was very happy to eat. He had already formulated a strategy, so after getting familiar with it, he had already relaxed his mind. The three of them casually talked about the past events of the people in the capital and the works of the predecessors, and they had a great time talking about them.

The second prince was indeed deeply influenced by Concubine Shu, and had a deep study of the literary way. He was very close to Fan Xian. However, Li Hongcheng talked about some wonderful stories among the fans, and he had to mention the brilliant achievements of Lord Si Nanbo Fan Jian at that time. The topics between men were together. Although the second prince was inconvenient to talk to Fan Xian, the atmosphere was successfully revitalized. Fan Xian kept his shortcomings and just told some stories about Danzhou and his experiences along the way.

After the meal, the second prince and Fan Xian each had something to gain and said goodbye with a smile.

The second prince did not see him off and still squatted on the chair. For most of the time, he actually maintained this posture and did not move. He watched Fan Xian and Li Hongcheng's figures disappear at the door of the flower boat, and then sighed softly.

"Your Highness, how do you think this little Lord Fan?" The disciples of the second prince's relative asked respectfully.

The second prince smiled slightly and said, "This brother-in-law is too cautious. He doesn't have any pride and crazy things that people in Qingguo have developed over the decades. To be honest, I really doubt whether Xiao Fan, who was crazy about poetry at night banquet in the palace, was the person I met today."

After saying this, he habitually lowered his head and reached aside to touch the bunch of green grapes. The disciple knew that the Second Highness was thinking about some extremely important national affairs, so he did not dare to disturb him, so he quickly left the door quietly.

After a long time, the second prince slowly raised his head, and his eyes were confused. In fact, he was not thinking about the national affairs, but was still thinking about the "Hongmen Banquet" that Fan Xian first mentioned. He read classics with his mother since he was a child, but he still did not remember what the "Hongmen Banquet" was an allusion.

"My brother-in-law is indeed very knowledgeable. It seems that he has to go back and search the books."
