Chapter 20 20. Playing tricks on Fan Xian
The poetry meeting was originally planned for Fan Xian. Emperor Qing decreed a marriage and promised inner treasury financial rights.

As long as the marriage has not been consummated and Li Yunrui has not let go, there will be many variables in this matter.What's more, Li Yunrui has no intention of letting go. The prince is caught in the middle and can only become a wallflower.On the one hand, he hopes to gain Fan Xian's support, but on the other hand, he is constantly plotting against him.After all, now that Fan Fei is here, the prince will naturally consider his attitude and will not just focus on calculations like in the original work.

Before the attendant could hear the news, Fan Fei suddenly spoke to the Crown Prince: "It is a great honor for Fan Fei to meet your two Highnesses today. Your Highness gave Fan Fei a magical and interesting white deer. I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince can do it?" Give me some paintings and calligraphy."

Fan Fei smiled and asked for gifts without any abruptness or overstep.On the contrary, it makes people feel very comfortable, just like his impartial attitude.You must know that Prince Jing's Mansion is very close to Li Chengze. Since he offered the white deer to him, Prince Jing and the Crown Prince would not object.The reason why he told the matter openly was that he really liked Bailu and forced Li Chengze to send him away.

After all, the prince gave a gift, but the second prince broke his promise and got fat. This makes other people think.

Secondly, it is also a way to show his impartial attitude. This is a conspiracy that is clearly visible but cannot be broken.

Who in the Qing Dynasty doesn't know that the second prince's mother-in-law loves books the most, and the prince's paintings and calligraphy are the most precious.Not only did he collect everyone's masterpieces, he was also a master of calligraphy and painting, and very few of them were passed down to the public.

Li Chengze blinked and immediately understood Fan Fei's double meaning.The prince was obviously stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "I have long heard that Mr. Fan is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I will send someone to his house someday."

There was neither a struggle for power nor an entanglement of interests, and the atmosphere between the three of them was not too tense.It talks about mountains and rivers, geography, music, chess, calligraphy and painting.In order to take care of the second prince, Fan Fei took the initiative to talk about swordsmanship and swordsmanship, especially the battle in the Royal Study Room that just happened.The long-sleeved and skillful way of dancing took care of the two current princes without making the scene too cold and embarrassing.

The two princes were at odds with each other, and they had victories and losses with each other, and they actually admired one person very much at the same time.

At this moment, the attendant came to report. Guo Baokun took the lead in making an attack at the poetry meeting, followed by He Zongwei who also joined in.When the prince and the second prince heard this, they glanced at Fan Fei, who was sitting calmly.His expression was full of meaning, and his faint smile made Fan Fei feel uneasy even while drinking tea.In the end, he was helplessly defeated and said rather awkwardly: "Xiao Xian has had a temperament since childhood. This challenge is also a training. Please don't be too polite, your highnesses."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Prince and the Second Prince are competing against each other in the Poetry Club.The two of them immediately knew each other and smiled. The prince was the first to speak: "After all, he is your brother, so you really don't worry at all."

The second prince followed closely and said, "If Mr. Fan faces this kind of situation, he doesn't need to worry too much. As far as I know, although Fan Xian's Dream of Red Mansions is stunningly talented, he doesn't seem to be that proficient in poetry and songs. . Guo Baokun and He Zongwei have read poetry and books since childhood, and their talents and learning are very few that can match them."

Fan Fei smiled and poured tea for the two of them, then raised his head and said slowly: "Uncut jade cannot be used, but jade can be made into a great tool only if it is sharply cut. Now that Xiaoxian has me and our father by his side, even if If he falls down at this time, he can start over again. If he continues to be so stubborn, he will definitely encounter misfortune in the future."

"As long as he's not dead or disabled, and he doesn't insult the Fan family's lintel, my father and I can cover him up."

Standing in the position of the elder brother, Fan Fei said these words very generously, full of brotherly friendship.The second prince heard a different meaning in the words, and blinked at the prince provocatively.Although the crown prince occupies the honorable status of the East Palace, the second prince is indeed his elder brother.Just like what Fan Fei said, it is not easy for the crown prince to ascend the throne.

Not to mention, the second prince's gesture made the prince eat a disgusting fly.

The attendant brought the latest progress of the poetry meeting. Guo Baokun proposed to write a poem in ten steps, and everyone nodded in agreement.Guo Baokun is indeed talented, and he is worthy of being a scholar in science.He Zongwei is also very talented, but so many years of ups and downs have long worn away his arrogance, and now he has become drifting and very philistine.

What made people laugh was that Fan Xian turned on the "map cannon" mode, making the two men very angry.

The two believed that Fan Xian was just bluffing, and threatened that if they were not as good as Fan Xian, they would never write poetry in this life.When they said this, the outcome was already determined.

The 5000 years of Chinese civilization are extraordinary. What a great and splendid world it is.

When Qiyan Denggao appeared, everyone couldn't help cheering.In fact, there is no need to comment at all. Denggao has already looked at ancient and modern times and no one can surpass it.

Snapped--

The second prince slapped the table violently after hearing this, his character was informal, and his demeanor was even more "unrestrained": "Good poem, good poem! It's enough to be recorded in the annals of history."

The prince dismissed the second prince with disdain, and then praised him: "It's indeed good. His wit is quick, and the sadness of the ages is all contained in this short poem. I didn't expect Fan Xian to have such talent. The Fan family is really We are uniquely blessed to have two double-star talents.”

Compared to the second prince, the prince's manners and manners all contain grace.Although he often keeps a straight face, this is the majesty that belongs to the East Palace alone, and his grace and splendor can be regarded as an exemplary quality.

Before anyone could say anything, a figure broke into the place.Xie Bian stabbed out with his sword, as fast as the wind and rain.That was the famous sword that the second prince had painstakingly collected, and now it was firmly in the hands of a ninth-grade swordsman, and the blade it thrust out was even more gorgeous.Faced with such swordsmanship, Fan Xian suddenly burst out with energy and turned his body sharply to avoid it.

He has been sharpened by Wu Zhu since he was a child, and he was often whipped.Although Fan Xian's experience against enemies is not rich, his ability to adapt to changes is top-notch.

Xie Bian was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this person to have such skill.Only at the seventh level, he can dodge his own sword.Although he did not use all his strength in that sword strike just now, it was not something that an ordinary seventh-grade warrior could easily avoid.Although Fan Xian didn't speak, Xie Bi'an also wanted to test, but he didn't dare to actually kill him. At most, it was just a deterrent.

Fan Xian was able to avoid it at first, but Xie Bi'an's sword became faster and faster.Fan Xian gradually became helpless, and even became confused and unable to respond in a hurry.If he took five more moves, he would definitely be injured, and Fan Fei had to say: "Mr. Make amends on your behalf.”

Fan Fei opened his mouth, but Xie Bian could only put away his sword.At this time, Fan Xian also walked into the pavilion and said to the noble man inside: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince, and I have met His Highness the Second Prince."

The second prince waved his hand and said to Fan Xian with a smile: "You are indeed very skilled. Compared to your gentle brother, you are a man of both civil and military talents."

When Fan Xian heard this, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, maybe the second prince had some misunderstanding about Wen Zhenbin!

If they meet in private, the prince will be very straightforward.Fan Xian came to seize power, and he was also the most important money bag in the East Palace.However, with Fan Fei present and a close minister of His Majesty, some words cannot be too straightforward: "It is true that literary talent is astonishing. Whether it is A Dream of Red Mansions or this Ascension, they are both masterpieces that are rare in the world."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Second Prince Miao Zan! Compared with eldest brother Fan Fei, Fan Xian still has a lot to learn."

Having grown up with his brother since childhood, Fan Xian was naturally infected with Fan Fei's talent.Normally I don't like this nonsense, but now when facing royal nobles, I still have to maintain the proper awe and humility.Everyone has different identities, and there are some things they dare not say but cannot say. The current Prince Jing's Mansion is extremely eye-catching.

The prince and the second prince said goodbye one after another, and then Fan Xian had the opportunity to ask: "Brother, I have made it clear!"

You must know that Fan Xian is very smart, but his elder brother has always stood in the way.He is also happy to enjoy life and time, and naturally he doesn't care too much about some things.Just because he doesn't want to do it doesn't mean he doesn't understand, especially since the presence of the three of them has explained a lot.Through Fan Fei's daily actions, he could roughly guess what his elder brother was thinking.

Fan Xian understood clearly, but he didn't say anything to anyone, and he didn't dare to tell anyone else.Because he knew that what his eldest brother did was very dangerous, and if he was not careful, the Fan family would be implicated.Although Fan Xian didn't like it, he wouldn't say much, let alone stop his elder brother.Just like Fan Fei said, they are brothers.Coming from the same world, they can even entrust their lives to each other.

Fan Fei glanced at Fan Xian, who was about to eat melon, and raised the corners of his mouth in an evil way. Fan Xian immediately felt a crisis.Before he could say anything, Fan Fei said cheerfully: "The chicken leg girl is here too. It looks like I don't want to see you, so let's go!"

"Fuck! Brother, you want to kill me!"

Fan Xian's expression changed drastically. He was nervous and a little excited. He grabbed Fan Fei with both hands: "Brother, hurry up, tell me quickly, where is Wan'er!"

"Call Dad—"

Fan Xian felt like he had eaten "dog shit" and wanted to take action but didn't dare.His face struggled for a long time before his tone became decadent, and he said in frustration and resignation: "Dad——"

Fan Fei didn't want to tease him either. He was afraid that if he spoiled Fan Xian's game, he would not be able to have fun in the future: "Since it's a girl with chicken legs, where are the chicken legs! The girl is there!"

Fan Xian ran towards the kitchen of Prince Jing's Mansion with a "wantonly vulgar" expression. For a moment, he forgot that Lin Wan'er liked to eat chicken drumsticks.

Fan Fei found Eunuch Hou who was observing secretly outside the poetry meeting, and nodded to him before entering.Everyone was still immersed in the shock of [climbing high], and only a few people noticed his whereabouts.Fan Fei clapped his hands as a reminder, and everyone's eyes came to him. He chuckled and said to everyone: "I'm not good at poetry. If you're talking about articles, I can say a few words, and I'll make the inscription for the Poetry Club. A final conclusion."
