Chapter 171 Complex Relationships
"The battle for the throne has always been dangerous... Logically speaking, I shouldn't advise you to join it.
But if you want to investigate who assassinated you, you can indeed seek the help of the third prince. "
Teng Zi Jingsha has his own way of doing things.
"Why?"
Teng Zijing looked strange and said, "You don't know what you came to Kyoto to do, do you?"
Fan Xian was stunned and said, "What do you mean?"
Teng Zijing chuckled: "The inner treasury is the royal purse, and it is in charge of the current emperor's sister, the eldest princess.
The eldest princess has a daughter named Lin Wan'er. The emperor has long said that whoever marries Princess Lin will be able to take over the financial rights of the inner treasury from the eldest princess. "
Fan Xian was puzzled: "What does this have to do with me."
"It seems you really don't know anything."
Teng Zijing laughed and said, "The emperor has already granted marriage to you and Princess Lin!"
Fan Xian's expression changed drastically.
Dog Emperor, what kind of feudal marriage is this? I want free love!
…………
Later, under Emperor Qing's plan, Fan Xian walked around the Qing Temple and returned to Fan's Mansion, and he was distraught.
"Ah, my chicken leg girl!"
Fan Xian was distraught and determined to cancel the engagement.
"elder brother!"
Fan Ruoruo was very happy to see Fan Xian.
"Ruoruo, long time no see, you have become a big girl."
Fan Xian lamented that they had not seen each other for ten years since they were separated when they were young.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Fan Xian said, "No one in Kyoto bullies you."
"No."
Fan Xian nodded, changed the topic again, and said, "Tell me, brother, how is your relationship with the third prince now?"
It was not without reason that Fan Xian was obsessed with finding out about the third prince.
After Fan Ruoruo was brought back to Kyoto from Danzhou by her cheap dad when she was a child, she was spotted by the third prince at a party and fell in love at first sight.
So far, I have been pursuing it tirelessly for several years.
Fan Xian and Fan Ruoruo have been exchanging letters all year round, so they are naturally aware of this matter.
To be fair, Fan Xian did not want Fan Ruoruo to marry the third prince. How could royal matters be so simple?
But what troubled him was that Fan Ruoruo had kept a distance from the third prince in the early years, but two and a half years ago, he suddenly changed his temper. It seemed that he was moved by the third prince's intentions...
But this is not the main reason why Fan Xian pays attention to the third prince.
The third prince was precocious and smart since he was a child. He had several poems that were circulated.
But these poems are from the world in Fan Xian's memory of his previous life!
‘This third prince can’t be said to be my fellow countryman! We really should find some time to meet! ’
Fan Xian thought to himself.
"Brother! You haven't even written your horoscope yet!"
Fan Ruoruo's face turned red and she said softly.
Fan Xian was helpless and said, "Brother, doesn't he care about you?
Do you really have to marry this third prince? "
He originally wanted to be a rich man and spend his life in idle clouds and wild cranes, but he couldn't just sit back and watch his sister get involved in the royal struggle without helping.
"Uh-huh!"
Fan Ruoruo nodded repeatedly and said distressedly: "But His Highness the Third Prince doesn't seem to like me anymore..."
"What's the point?"
Fan Xian was surprised.
"Didn't you say that the third prince begged you and couldn't get it?"
His intelligence is behind!
"It was exactly two and a half years ago that the Third Prince felt tired and slowly put me down. Instead, he became very close to Princess Lin, who I grew up with.
Princess Lin had been frail and sickly since she was a child and was raised in the palace. His Highness the Third Prince had been trying to find ways to please her since he was a child.
Therefore, Princess Lin also fell in love with the third prince and prayed for a long time...
Especially after the third prince found a miracle doctor to cure Princess Lin’s stubborn illness! "
Fan Ruoruo said weakly. Fan Xian suddenly realized that it was the third prince who suddenly came to his senses and turned around!
At this point, he also roughly understood the whole story.
As the saying goes, what you can't get is always in turmoil.
The third prince turned back, which was a pain to his sister. Fan Ruoruo had become accustomed to the third prince's pursuit in the past four years, but now she stopped pursuing her, and she had a withdrawal reaction, and instead fell in love.
Fan Xian looked confused.
From a standpoint, of course he wanted to help his sister, but then again, the third prince didn't seem to do anything bad?
"By the way, why didn't I see you mention this in your letter?"
"This is so embarrassing that my sister is so embarrassed. How dare you tell me anything about it?"
Fan Ruoruo covered her face with her hands.
"That's it."
Fan Xian's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Princess Lin, Princess Lin...
"No, who is Princess Lin?"
"She is the daughter of the current eldest princess.
Oh, by the way, she is also my brother’s marriage partner! "
Damn, this relationship is quite messy!
A black line appeared on Fan Xian's forehead.
"Woof, woof, woof!"
At this time, a big black dog ran out of the backyard and barked at Fan Xian, as if trying to drive the stranger out.
"Little Heizi, stop barking!"
Fan Ruoruo scolded.
"Woo, woo..."
Little Heizi was very well-behaved, and he stopped barking as expected. He trotted up to the two of them, knelt on his hind legs, and stuck out his tongue to please them.
"This big black dog is quite spiritual."
Fan Xian clicked his tongue in surprise and reached out to touch Xiao Heizi's head.
This dog is indeed understanding of human nature, and he saw that Fan Xian and Fan Ruoruo had a good relationship, so he no longer contradicted Fan Xian.
"It's so big, why did it get such a name?"
Fan Xian said strangely.
"This is the name given by the Third Prince, and he sent it to the mansion after he 'changed his heart'."
Fan Ruoruo said resentfully.
'The name given by the Third Prince! '
Fan Xian's eyebrows jumped a few times, and he was even more certain that Bai Jing was his fellow villager.
But Fan Ruoruo couldn't know about this. Fan Xian didn't show any abnormality, but said: "Look, he is still willing to give you a pet.
I don't think he has completely broken up with you. Maybe you still have a chance."
After saying this, Fan Xian felt that something was wrong. Was he actively letting his sister and his fiancée compete for the favor of a man?
"Brother, you don't know anything!"
Fan Ruoruo was dejected.
"What do you mean?"
"The Third Prince opened a shop called Pet Shop, specializing in raising rare species, cats, dogs, parrots... everything.
On the opening day, the Third Prince gave one to all the ministers in the court, and even the palace has one!
You know, the breeding skills of that shop are not bad. Every pet is as smart as Xiao Hei, and it is very popular among the dignitaries in Kyoto.
Many ladies have repurchased it to keep company and relieve their loneliness."
Fan Xian exclaimed, "Wow, wouldn't that be a huge profit!"
"Brother, you get the point, hey!"
"Ahem..."
…………
The Third Prince's Mansion.
A glimmer flashed in Bai Jing's eyes, and soon went out. A woman lay quietly in his arms, and said coquettishly: "Brother Bai, I don't like that engagement~"
"Find a way to get my father to cancel it. Fan Xian is unrestrained and loves freedom by nature, so I think he doesn't like this marriage.
I will discuss this matter with him."
Bai Jing smiled.
