From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 86: Daddy's Happy Reunion

In late spring, the weather is a bit hot

Beijing Yishiju, third floor

A black-faced scholar lay on the ground, with the slap marks on his face clearly visible. The scholars at a table stared at the arrogant young man opposite them with anger on their faces.

The story seems to have returned to the starting point. In this world, although Fan Xian did not write Dream of the Red Chamber, he also had a conflict with the literati headed by He Zongwei on the third floor of Yishiju.

The arrogant Sizhe took the lead, fully demonstrating the prowess of a qualified second-generation rich man in Kyoto.

Unfortunately, the current Guo Baokun is not the editor Guo in the original novel. He has his own vision and certainly will not mix with this group of literati. Without the support of the powerful Guo Baokun, there is naturally no guard to take action. Faced with the famous second-generation rich man in the capital, this group of literati dared to be angry but not to speak out.

However, when Fan Xian saw this scene, he frowned and was about to speak when he saw a private room in the corner of the building being pushed open and the Prince of Jing, Li Hongcheng, made a grand appearance.

When he saw Fan Ruoruo, Li Hongcheng's eyes lit up slightly. Just as he was about to exchange a few words of greeting, the door of a private room not far away was pushed open. As the door was pushed open, the third floor, which had been a bit noisy, suddenly became quiet.

Ye Ling'er, dressed in red, slowly walked out of the room pushing a wheelchair, followed by a shy girl in white.

When Fan Xian heard the voice, he turned around and looked at the girl in white. At this moment, time seemed to freeze.

"interesting!"

Li Chengqian, who was in the wheelchair, keenly felt that the fortunes of the two people began to intertwine. The wheel of history began to turn at this moment. The most important thing was that the world's restraining force did not come out.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"

…………

…………

After a moment of astonishment, Li Hongcheng's face changed and he saluted quickly. As he moved, the sound of salutes continued in the restaurant.

"No need to be so polite." Li Chengqian raised his hand and smiled. "I came out here with Chen'er to relax today. I didn't expect to meet you here. What a coincidence."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the most handsome young man in the crowd, and a strange glint flashed in his eyes. "You are Fan Xian."

"Fan Xian meets the Crown Prince."

"What a coincidence, Chen'er, don't you think?" Li Chengqian turned and smiled at Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er's face flushed instantly. She gently pushed Li Chengqian with her small hand and said in a low voice, "Brother Crown Prince..."

"Alright, stop standing here and let others watch you. Come in." Li Chengqian glanced at everyone, "It's a good opportunity for you two to meet and see if you're a good match."

"what--"

Fan Xian opened his mouth slightly, his mind buzzing. At this moment, he seemed to realize that the girl in white who had made his heart flutter just now might be his legendary fiancée!

This is so fucking great!

Because there were so many people around, Fan Xian did not dare to lose his composure. He forced himself to suppress the joy in his heart, straightened his expression, and followed Li Chengqian into the private room.

As the door of the private room closed, the noise outside started again.

"Please sit down. We are all family. Don't be polite." Li Chengqian said as he glanced at everyone.

Everyone sat down, but the atmosphere was a little awkward.

The awkwardness came from Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er. The whole room became awkward because of the presence of the two people.

"Fan Xian, you just arrived in Kyoto from Danzhou. Are you adjusting well?"

"Adapt, adapt, Kyoto is a good place." Fan Xian said hurriedly. Although he and Li Chengqian did not know each other and had no likes or dislikes, without mentioning Li Chengqian's identity, he wanted to thank Li Chengqian for today's situation.

I had wanted to meet Miss Lin in advance, and now it has come true, right?

Thinking about it now, it still seems a bit magical.

All your wishes come true!
Could it be that this prince is the transformation of a dragon ball?

"Okay, stop talking and eat something. Chen'er, here, this chicken leg is for you!"

Li Chengqian picked up a chicken leg with his chopsticks and placed it in Lin Wan'er's bowl. "Eat more. You've always been weak and you're getting married soon. You need to gain some weight so you can have children."

"Brother Prince!"

Lin Wan'er was already a little embarrassed and the atmosphere was awkward. After hearing what Li Chengqian said, she lowered her head so much that she almost crawled under the table. Even Fan Xian, who was standing next to her, was shocked.

Has the prince's painting style always been like this?

Even if they are engaged, today is just the first time they meet. Is it necessary to increase the intensity to this level?
"Brother Prince, I feel a little unwell. I'll go back first." After saying that, Lin Wan'er stood up and said goodbye.

She knew her cousin too well. He was a very good person.

I was born with this mouth!

Don't care about other people's feelings.

The more people there are, the more excited people become, commonly known as stage frenzy.

It's like this as soon as we meet. If we stay any longer, I don't know what nonsense he will say.

"Oh, that's fine too. Ling'er, you can go back with Wan'er."

Li Chengqian didn't say much, just nodded in response. Ye Ling'er and Lin Wan'er stood up, apologized, and left.

After watching the two leave, Li Chengqian tapped the table twice with his chopsticks and said to Fan Xian, who hadn't yet averted his gaze, "Don't look anymore. They've left. If you want to see the wedding, you can wait until later."

"Uh!" Fan Xian awkwardly looked away and began to defend himself, "I'm not, I didn't, I just..."

"Okay, okay, stop quibbling. I'm just asking you, what do you think of my sister? Do you like her?"

"I...I like you."

Fan Xian's face turned slightly red, and his expression was a little shy. He thought to himself, no wonder this prince has a bad reputation in the court. Isn't this too direct?

Fan Ruoruo and Fan Sizhe on the side both had strange expressions on their faces, with their heads lowered, trying hard to control their expressions.

"Wan'er should be interested in you too." Li Chengqian smiled as he helped Fan Xian take a bite of food. "I was hoping to find a chance for Wan'er to take a look at you first, and I didn't expect to meet her here. But don't be too happy. I'll have to ask her in detail when I get back. If she doesn't like you, I'll definitely cancel this plan."

"Is the prince always so direct?" Fan Xian picked up the wine jug with some embarrassment and was about to pour wine for Li Chengqian.

As a result, he was stopped by Li Chengqian.

"I never drink."

"Oh, then drink tea, drink tea!"

Fan Xian put down the wine jug and picked up the teapot with incredibly smooth movements.

"Don't pour it for just me, there's also Hongcheng. We are all my family." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes..." Hot sweat broke out on Fan Xian's forehead. He felt like a prospective son-in-law who was in a hurry to get married.

At this time, Fan Ruoruo stood up, calmly took the teapot from Fan Xian, and poured another cup of tea for Li Hongcheng.

Li Hongcheng quickly stood up to express his gratitude.

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Hongcheng and said to Fan Xian, "Master Fan has told you about Wan'er's life story, right?"

"Father told me last night."

"Well, that's good. It saves me from having to say anything more." Li Chengqian nodded, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "We're all family after all. I won't hide it from you. My aunt is very unhappy with this marriage."

"Your Highness, are you dissatisfied with me?"

“She’s not dissatisfied with you, she just has resentment in her heart.

Think about it, she's a single woman who's been raising a child all these years, and now two old men are marrying her off without telling her in advance. If it were you, wouldn't you feel resentful?"

"I..." Fan Xian was speechless, not knowing what to do for a moment. After a long while, he nodded and said, "Yes, it is a little inappropriate."

"Right, I also said this was inappropriate. Father did a poor job on this matter. Over the years, Auntie has been earning money for him in the inner treasury and sorting out the salt administration. Even if she has no merits, she has worked hard. Yet, he didn't even say a word of thanks and even stabbed someone with a knife. How unkind! Don't you think so?"

"Cough, cough, cough cough cough——"

This time it wasn't Fan Xian's turn to react, as Li Hongcheng beside him started coughing madly.

Is this something a prince can say in public?

Is it possible for a prince like him to hear such words?

Li Chengqian glanced at him sideways, "What are you coughing for? Am I wrong?"

"I, that's not what I meant." Li Hongcheng was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Li Chengqian ignored him and said to Fan Xian in a fatherly tone, "Tell Lord Fan to arrange for you to go to Guangxin Palace as soon as possible to meet Aunt. Say something nice about you, saying that you are young and good-looking. I think Aunt won't be offended."

"Thank you, Prince, for your guidance." Fan Xian looked at Li Chengqian, who was only two years older than him, yet spoke with such earnest instruction that he felt a sense of disharmony. Just as he was trying to find an excuse to leave, he heard Li Chengqian suddenly say, "I've checked you out, and your behavior in Danzhou was quite decent. Now that you've come to Kyoto, don't be blinded by its prosperity."

As he spoke, he pointed at Li Hongcheng who was standing beside him and said, "Especially him, stay away from him."

"Your Highness, I..." Li Hongcheng was a little dissatisfied when he heard it. What do you mean stay away from me? Am I annoying?
Li Chengqian looked at Li Hongcheng and said, "I don't care about anything else, but if you dare to drag him to a brothel to listen to music, I will let Uncle Jing break your legs."
