Chapter 154 The same starry sky(1/2)

The big tree in the "Shazhou Villa" was in trouble. Fan Xian took the sword of the emperor and expelled the kingly aura and cut off countless barks. The reason for this was that our young imperial envoy was really angry, and it was impossible for him to show off his face in front of his wife, and it was impossible for him to rush to the Northern Qi Dynasty to go to Beijing to scold his own sister's teacher, so he always had to find a way to vent his anger.

Fan Xian is not the boring boss who likes to beat and scold his subordinates to relieve stress. He happened to be lying on the bed in his previous life and read a story that was so sour and tears were heard, so he learned about the hero of the story in this life.

The male protagonist, who loves to pour foot washing water, was angry at his wife and endured it for n years. He always sneaked out in the middle of the night and smashed trees by the river to seek pitiful psychological balance.

Fan Xian didn't smash the tree, so he used the dignified sword technique to cut the tree, gritting his teeth while cutting it.

When the trees in the yard were white overnight and their clothes were broken, revealing their humble and naked bodies, Fan Xian and his party left in a carriage and returned to the Peng Manor by the West Lake.

There are quite a lot of people waiting for the imperial envoy and the princess on the banks of West Lake. The two governors and governors in Suzhou City are not convenient for them to come in person. But Fan Xian secretly admires the Hangzhou magistrate, whom he secretly admires, will not be polite. He sealed one-third of the long embankment beside the West Lake to facilitate the entry of Fan's carriage, and led a group of subordinates to serve everywhere, for fear that the two big men would be a little dissatisfied.

Fan Xian accepted this flattery comfortably. After all, Wan'er's health was not good and she really needed peace of mind. After everyone in the mansion met, Sisi and Teng's wife naturally served Wan'er to rest. Fan Xian took the time to meet the Hangzhou magistrate and gently persuaded her a few words. But the next day, he asked Huwei Gundam to block all the wives of these officials from the back garden.

Grandma Fan is not seeing guests.

Wan'er looked at Fan Xian pitifully, her eyebrows had already become soft willow leaves in the wind, and her eyes were like crying: "Good husband, just spare me."

Fan Xian smiled and said, "Be good, just drink the medicine, otherwise you will have to spank."

Wan'er had no choice but to drink medicine in pain. She couldn't help but sigh deep in her heart, thinking why she was so stupid? She told Fan Xian the reason. With his temperament, of course she wouldn't allow herself to do this. If she had known this, she would have just not gone to Jiangnan and secretly stopped the medicine in Kyoto.

Suddenly, she felt a little embarrassed and thought that if she didn't go to Jiangnan, even if she stopped the medicine and went to the internal organs, then... without him, how could she have a baby?

Fan Xian was holding a handkerchief to wipe the medicine stains on the corners of her lips. Suddenly, he looked at the blush on his wife's cheeks. He was slightly stunned. He didn't know what the little head was thinking. He teased curiously: "Madam, why are you so embarrassed?"

Wan'er gave him a blank look and said, "I won't tell you."

She quickly changed her mind. This time she went to Jiangnan, she had decided on something before the New Year, but there was another important thing that needed to be discussed with Fan Xian. She was worried about letting the servants pass on these things.

Seeing her seriousness, Fan Xian frowned slightly, and listened to his wife whispering softly in his ears. His mood became heavier, but there was no change in his face, and it was still quiet. He comforted and explained: "I thought it was such a big deal that I had left Jiangnan in such a hurry... The elders in the palace were accustomed to discussing right and wrong, and they couldn't take too much attention."

During her days in Kyoto, the young couple had a very good understanding, and they once made it clear that Wan'er is now a wife and a woman. In such a complex relationship, Fan Xian cherishes her and does not want her to participate in these filthy things too much, even if Wan'er can actually help him too much.

For example, the night talk between the couple when the eldest prince visited Fan’s mansion.

But even though that is the case, Wan'er can't pretend that nothing has happened around her, and she can't pretend to be unable to see her husband being nervous with her mother who is not very close to her.

It is difficult to guess the girl's thoughts, but in this matter, she always wants to find a way to protect Fan Xian without putting both sides in an irreversible situation.

But it is very difficult. Fan Xian is difficult to figure it out, and Wan'er is the same.

So she had to carefully inquire about the news everywhere in Kyoto, analyzing the mystery of women's politics for Fan Xian. With her transcendent identity and the privilege of entering and leaving the palace, she helped Fan Xian, who was far away in Jiangnan, contact the people in the palace and eliminate some resistance that could be eliminated.

Fan Xian knew about these things and knew that they could not stop her, so he had to go with her. And sometimes, Wan'er really needed to be lubricant in the middle, just like a trip to the palace after the Spring Examination incident.

Because Fan Xian's opposition, Wan'er's ability was not fully utilized, and her natural feeling in politics and palace affairs was even more suppressed, but this does not mean that she does not understand these things. So after knowing the story in the palace, she came to Jiangnan resolutely.

Unlike everyone's imagination, the young lady of Fan's family went to Jiangnan not to see the Northern Qi saint named Duoduo, but to remind Fan Xian in person about certain things.

"The elders in the palace... can influence a lot." Wan'er looked at Fan Xian worriedly and said softly: "The Empress Dowager is the Empress's biological aunt. The relationship between these two people cannot be separated... The Empress arranged for someone to come to the palace to tell the story of the Stone Story to the Empress Dowager. You should not be too careless about the dangers hidden in this."

Fan Xian fell silent and felt anger. When he was copying the Stone Record in Danzhou, he didn't take it seriously just to find some games for himself and Sisi, seek some entertainment for Ruoru, and at the same time satisfy his literary youth's thoughts. Although he knew that Lao Cao's writings were indeed a bit prohibited, he thought that this was completely different from two countries and two worlds, and he would never violate the prohibition, so he became a little careless.

No one expected that his life experience and his own experience would change so much later. Word by word in Dream of Red Mansions... all seemed to express his unwillingness and resentment.

Especially the song about Qiaojie's rhetoric.

Anyone who can write this book can do it, but it can't be himself... But now everyone in the world believes that this book is written by himself.

The resentment in the book seems to be telling her dissatisfaction with the affairs of the old Ye family back then... The queen arranged for someone to go to the palace to teach the old empress dowager. Doesn’t the Empress Dowager’s sensitive and suspicious head think that she has a strange intention?

The matter in the royal family is just about the word "heart". If the heart is suspicious, people will be suspicious. If the heart is punished, people will be punished.

Fan Xian thought quietly for a while and found that this was indeed a problem he was about to face. If the Empress Dowager really thought that he was unwilling to do so and wanted to rehabilitate the matter back then, then the old woman was temporarily silent, and perhaps she would no longer exist. Now that the Qing Kingdom is governing the world with filial piety, the Empress Dowager will say something, and the emperor of his own will always express his feelings.

But... it's not a big problem. Fan Xian went to Jiangnan for a long time. His strength has reached a certain level. These little storms will not make him afraid. He patted his wife's hand gently and said gently: "Don't worry, even if the old woman doubts me... so what? I didn't do anything. She couldn't ask His Majesty to cut my official position."

Wan'er smiled bitterly, couldn't help but shake her head, gently slaying his eyebrows with her fingers, and spat, "That's my grandmother, and your grandmother... Why are the old woman shouting?"

Fan Xian smiled and said, "That's true. When I saw you at Qing Temple, I couldn't guess that you would be my cousin."

"Hmph... I don't know who has kept it from me for so long." Lin Wan'er muttered with her lips.

Before Fan Xian could comfort her, Wan'er continued to say seriously: "Even if there is no harm in this matter for the time being, what about the Ming family? The lawsuit you made in Jiangnan has already spread to Kyoto. Now Song Shiren is really famous and actually said that the eldest son has no natural inheritance rights... This touched the bottom line of many people. Although Song Shiren was helping Xia Qifei fight the lawsuit, everyone in the capital knows that you are their backstage, so they can't help asking more questions in their hearts... What are our little Lord Fan thinking?"

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows and said, "What can I think?"

Lin Wan'er looked at him and said, "As for the surface, you want to help Xia Qifei get back the Ming family's property... won't the Empress Dowager doubt you? What's more, there is the bad things about the Stone Record before... Two hatches and one combination. Everyone will think that you want to take back the inner warehouse in your heart."

"But who is Neiku?"

"Who is the eldest son in our palace?"

Lin Wan'er sighed: "The things you did in Jiangnan are really putting yourself in the opposite direction of the prince's brother, or even standing in the opposite direction of the queen mother."

After a little silence, Fan Xian decided to express his true thoughts: "That's right...but in fact, I deliberately created this atmosphere, so that the people in the palace felt that I had a strange intention."

Lin Wan'er opened her lips slightly in surprise, feeling that such a rashness seemed not his personality.

"You are a few days late, so I don't know that Your Majesty sent eunuchs to announce the order." Fan Xian smiled and said, "In a few days, Beijing will know my attitude. I am on the side of the third brother."

Lin Wan'er was a little confused and nervous, and said softly: "You are going to let the third brother go to the ring...but he is still just a child."

"This child is not simple." Fan Xian lowered his head slightly and said with a chuckling: "His ability is not bad, and I am very confident in my ability to recognize people and my level of being a teacher. The guys I taught are not much different."

"But... you still haven't explained why you should create the current atmosphere." Lin Wan'er frowned. If this situation is allowed to develop, both sides will gradually lose any opportunity for reconciliation and force them to... She raised her head suddenly, looked at Fan Xian in surprise, and said in a slight shock: "Are you... going to force them to take action?"

After a long quiet bedroom, Fan Xian nodded slowly and said softly: "Many people ignore the queen and the prince, but I and them are very clear to each other. Only one of us can survive... Now, while His Majesty the Emperor still cares about me, I will force the hidden disaster to break out in advance."

Lin Wan'er's expression gradually became helpless and became dim. Although she knew that the struggles in the emperor's family had never left any affection. But when she thought that her closest husband and the prince's brother in the palace had always died, she still couldn't help feeling a hint of coldness.

Fan Xian's eyes were colder than his wife's mind, and he said slowly and indifferently: "I don't want to kill people. But they had already killed people decades ago, and it is impossible for me to let me go now. Since that's the case, I'll do this."

Lin Wan'er was silent for a long time and said, "Then...what should she do?"

In this sentence, she is naturally the biggest problem between Fan Xian and his wife. The eldest princess who has been unwilling to settle down.

Fan Xian's eyes drooped slightly, gently hugged Wan'er into his arms, and said gently: "Your Majesty's thoughts are too deep, I don't pay attention to it. Your mother's thoughts are too big, it's not my turn to pay attention to it... This is a war between her and Your Majesty. I just need to play the side drum... I can't guarantee anything else, but I promise you. I won't treat her personally."

Is this guarantee credible?

"The emperor's uncle has always loved me very much..." Lin Wan'er leaned in Fan Xian's arms like a wounded kitten, saying softly and weakly, but her eyes gradually appeared in her humble appearance. If the eldest princess really had the courage to do that, then afterwards, even with Fan Xian's power and identity, Lin Wan'er would not be implicated, but... her identity in the royal family would become embarrassing and dangerous.

Fan Xian was silent. He knew that Wan'er's sigh was the truth. After getting married, he walked in the palace and clearly felt that his emperor really loved Wan'er, and that Wan'er's status in the palace was indeed much higher than that of ordinary county officials... Thinking of this festival, he couldn't help but sigh that the emperor married his niece whom he loved the most to his illegitimate son. It was also a compensation for himself?

"It's okay, it's all for the elders." He said with a smile: "Let them make a fuss."

Although the words are easy, the content is not easy. In the next year, if it were not for the dragon throne of the Daqing Dynasty changed its owner, there would be a bloodbath among the royal family. What would happen to Fan Xian and Wan'er, a young man and woman? If it was the former, Fan Xian believed that his whole family would be buried for His Majesty the Emperor. If it was the latter... how should Wan'er face it?

At this moment, Fan Xian suddenly felt that he forced the other party to take action in advance. It seemed like a very boring thing, just to protect himself and the people around him, he had to do this.

"The old lame man should think so, right? I hope he can have some better way."

Fan Xian patted Wan'er's back gently, looked at the quiet lake, the green mountains, the fishing boat, and the willow branches outside the window, and his thoughts floated into the distant Kyoto.

In the Liangqinqin palace in Kyoto, the palace maids and eunuchs walked quietly. Occasionally, some young palace maids would make a few laughs, and were scolded by the old nannies. The spring was over and the first heat was coming, and the trees in the palace were lush, but the people in the palace still couldn't have a trace of loose freedom.

Guangxin Palace was the bedroom of the eldest princess. When the eldest princess secretly contacted the Northern Qi Dynasty and betrayed senior officials of the Supervision Bureau by Wu Zhu Shu, the most beautiful woman in the legend of Qingguo retreated from the political scene in Kyoto and went to the deserted Li Palace.

Although she could also faintly affect the situation in the palace in Xinyang Li Palace, it was not as convenient as coming in Kyoto after all. So in the sixth year of Qingli, she finally told the Queen Mother to move back to Kyoto. At this time, the sensational Yanzhi incident that year had long disappeared into people's memories.

But it was not long before returning to Kyoto. Junshan's strength in Jiangnan made her angry and revealed it to the emperor's brother. So the emperor ordered her to move into the palace again, called reunion, but actually for nearby surveillance.

However, the eldest princess has been in the palace for a long time and is the little girl she loves the most. Her relationship with the queen has always been close, so no one can stop her from entering and leaving the palace. She has successfully concealed her actions and tricks in secret.

Of course, in order to reassure the Emperor, she was not convenient for her to leave the palace, and she had contacted the ministers below, so her most common activity now is to chat with the Queen Mother in the palace and gather with the Queen Mother to study some embroidered cloth such as flowers, birds, insects, and water.

I am afraid that it is not cloth.

The situation in Jiangnan has been settled. Whether the eldest princess Li Yunrui is convinced or not, whether she admits it or not, is it difficult or not. In short, Jiangnan, which she has been in charge for more than ten years... has been completely accepted by her "becoming" son-in-law!

Old Lady Ming died, Master Sanshi died, and the Ming family was silent. Under the joint suppression of Fan Xian and Xue Qing, the officialdom in Jiangnan did not rebound much. The confidants she had placed in the three major offices of the Inner Truck Transportation Department were all pulled out by Fan Xian. Although the officials were still respectful in their letters, they had no way to move under Fan Xian's tyranny.

The public grievances and anger that finally made it was quietly dispersed for some reason. As a result, the blood letters sent to Kyoto from thousands of miles away and the old scholar who fought the imperial court also became rootless trees. They did not pose any threat to the court at all.

"Prime fine?" The eldest princess Li Yunrui narrowed her eyes slightly, and a joking look flashed in her beautiful phoenix eyes, "Do you think their old Fan family still have this little money?"

Sitting beside her was the dignified and luxurious queen. The queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty loves their Fan family. Isn't it too hastily closed the matters of the Ministry of Revenue a few days ago?"

The eldest princess smiled, her long eyelashes blinked at a young tenderness far from her age, and said with a chuckle: "Shangshu Fan has made contributions to the country. How can we women compare to?"

She sighed and said, "After all, I'm not old enough to have a daughter, and I don't have much to do with these things. What should I do when I see the autumn land, I still ask my mother to go back to Xinyang to live.

The queen's heart skipped a beat and secretly scolded the fox for pretending to be young. She also heard that the other party was taking retreat as an advance... But in the current situation, if Li Yunrui really refused to do it, he and the prince would not be able to withstand the momentum of Fan Xian and the third brother. Of course, the queen was not a fool, and knew that the eldest princess would definitely not give up the power in her hands and leave the place. The other party said this to gain the upper hand in the scene.

The queen even brought a hint of caution that she should never have in her smile: "What are the words of my sister? Although I am a dull woman who does not know the affairs of the state, I also know that my sister is a pillar of the country. I have made countless benefits for our Daqing Dynasty... If you really go to Xinyang, His Majesty the Emperor will be the first to not agree."

The conversation between the two women today is actually still inseparable from that chair. It’s just that this kind of thing is not brave enough to say it too directly before it is launched.

The eldest princess was slightly silent for a while and slowly spoke, "My mother is always prone to being blinded by others when she is old."

The queen nodded and smiled and said, "Take it slow."

The two were silent, sucking teacups, and the queen suddenly asked tentatively: "I heard... Fan Xian did a good job in Jiangnan, but a master suddenly came and killed half a building in Suzhou City?"

The matter of slashing half of the building with one sword could not be covered for too long, but it was transmitted back to Kyoto and into the palace.

The eldest princess knew what the queen wanted to ask, but she didn't tell the truth to the other party. She smiled with a hint of arrogance and said, "I don't know much about the affairs of the world."

If a great master stands behind the eldest princess, then the queen will have a clearer understanding of where she should stand in the cooperation between the two. Of course, this will also greatly enhance the determination of the queen and the prince.

Seeing that the eldest princess refused to speak out, the queen cursed in her heart and said goodbye.

Looking at the mother of the country's slightly lonely back, a trace of pity and contempt flashed in the princess's eyes. She thought that such a character wanted to have a share of the pie. I really don't know where the confidence came from.
To be continued...
