Chapter 32 The old prince wants to have a daughter, and the second prince participates in politics!
Prince Yong, Li Chang'an, is famous in Kyoto for his ability to enjoy life.
Everyone knows that the poems and essays of His Royal Highness Prince Yong are valuable, and the magazine sells well. Even piracy cannot stop Li Changan from making a profit.
Just like now, Li Changan’s table for dinner is filled with famous dishes from all over the world.
"Ruoruo, I invited ten of the best chefs in Beijing to cook dishes that you like."
Fan Ruoruo's eyebrows curved and she smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Fan Sizhe came here specifically just for this meal!
"Thank you for the treat, brother-in-law. This meal would cost my father a year's salary!"
"Oh! It smells so good!"
When Liu Shuyan was in the palace, Li Changan usually ate at the same table with Xiren and Qingwen.
But once there are guests or outside, Li Changan still behaves in a respectful and orderly manner.
The world is always unequal. Being too nice to servants in front of outsiders is actually not good for yourself and the two maids.
Li Changan said, "Xiren, Qingwen, Lao Wang, there are no outsiders here today, let's eat together!"
Fan Ruoruo also said, "Two sisters, please eat together. Otherwise, there are so many dishes that the three of us won't be able to finish them all."
"Mr. Wang...you're welcome!"
The two maids seemed to have received permission from their mistress and stopped being polite.
Wang Qinian was still a man of the world, he didn't care about anything else and went straight to the table to eat.
It’s so good to follow His Royal Highness Prince Yong. I can eat and drink delicious food every day and walk around Kyoto with my head held high!
Although Prince Yong has a very evil heart, he is actually not arrogant and is very easy to get along with.
Everyone in Kyoto who is smart knows that Wang Qinian is Prince Yong's new confidant.
He was selling maps at the city gate to cheat people out of money, and even the guards at the gate helped him deceive people!
Wang Qinian felt that following Li Changan was a huge win!
After finishing her meal, Fan Ruoruo left Prince Yong's Mansion holding the gift given by Li Changan, looking back every few steps.
Wang Qinian and Zheng Gangduanshui went together to send the Fan siblings home.
On the way back, Wang Qinian sang a little song happily.
Zhen Gang couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Wang, why are you so happy today?"
Wang Qinian leaned against the shaft of the cart, a chrysanthemum-like smile blooming on his face.
"Wang... wants to find a woman."
Zhen Gang said with some envy, "What kind of woman do you want to find, sir?"
Wang Qinian half-closed his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of woman you find..."
"Wang just wants a daughter. A daughter is so cute!"
"Hey hey hey!"
……
Fan Ruoruo and Fan Sizhe entered the yard and saw Fan Jian waiting in the main hall with a gloomy face.
Liu Ruyu looked nervous and embarrassed, not daring to breathe.
Fan Sizhe slipped away and hid his small body behind Fan Ruoruo, not daring to show even half of his face.
"Dad! My daughter is back!"
Fan Ruoruo acted as if nothing had happened and showed a cute and naughty smile.
"Humph!"
Seeing his daughter's smiling face, Fan Jian's anger suddenly disappeared.
"You still remember to go home! What are you holding in your arms?"
Fan Ruoruo blinked her big eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered continuously.
Fan Jian saw this and his heart melted, all his anger had long since dissipated.
Fan Sizhe rushed to answer, "It's a gift from Prince Yong to my sister! He said I should see it when I get home!"
Fan Ruoruo said sensibly, "Dad and aunt are here, let's open it and take a look!" Fan Jian nodded with satisfaction. Ruoruo was still so well-behaved and sensible.
Who knows what kind of indecent things that brat Li Changan will give to his daughter!
Fan Jian called a servant and slowly unfolded the scroll.
As the calligraphy and paintings in the scroll appeared before everyone's eyes, everyone held their breath.
An exquisite and meticulous flower and bird painting, two white geese and some lotus flowers!
Next to it is the poem “Ode to the Goose” that Li Changan gave to Fan Ruoruo when he was one year old!
It’s also a poem on the left and a painting on the right, but this one is obviously much more exquisite than the one auctioned four years ago!
Liu Ruyu murmured, "Your Highness's paintings of flowers and birds are so lifelike, just like they are alive!"
Fan Jian stared at those lines of thin gold script for a long time, unable to take his eyes away!
"Although His Royal Highness Prince Yong is mischievous, he is indeed a rare talent that only appears once in a thousand years!"
"In the past two or three years, the Slender Gold style has improved a lot. It is thin but not without flesh, and its free and easy style can be seen faintly!"
"With its graceful and agile strokes, this calligraphy is the best in the world!"
Fan Ruoruo looked at the two white geese and her face turned red.
The one I auctioned off before only had one goose in it, but the one I gave myself has two...
The meaning of pairs of white geese is self-evident!
Really, I want to grow up quickly!
Fan Sizhe said, "In recent years, the calligraphy and paintings sold by Your Highness are either only poems or only flowers and birds."
"This one is an exception! I wonder how much money it will fetch!"
Fan Jian snorted coldly, "Ignorance! This painting reflects your highness's true level. The ones that have been sold have somewhat reduced their edge."
"If this painting is sold out, it will be worth a hundred thousand taels of gold!"
When these words came out, the whole family was shocked!
"A calligraphy and painting worth one million taels of silver!" Fan Sizhe swallowed hard and began to calculate in his mind with his eyes closed.
Fan Jian said coldly, "Silly boy, you still need to do mental arithmetic for such a simple number? It's your father's salary for ten thousand years! Humph!"
When the family had almost finished looking at the painting, Fan Ruoruo asked the servant to roll up the painting, and then she held it tightly in her arms.
Fan Ruoruo is petite. She is holding a scroll that is almost as tall as herself, and her little face is filled with happiness and satisfaction.
Judging from the situation, Fan Ruoruo will have to sleep with the scroll in her arms at night.
Fan Jian saw it with his own eyes and felt pain in his heart, my little cabbage...
……
Inspection Institute.
The shadow of the head of the Sixth Department dressed in black suddenly appeared in Chen Pingping's room.
Chen Pingping, who was exercising his arm muscles, looked surprised, "Shadow, is there something urgent?"
Shadow said, "Nothing, I just met someone in the city recently, his Qinggong should be very good!"
Chen Pingping smiled and said, "Let me guess, it's Wang Qinian, the new recruit of Prince Yong."
Shadow said without any emotion, "Yes, he was a notorious thief who had never failed before. He sought death by breaking into Prince Yong's mansion."
"Zhao Gao, who was beside Prince Yong, has already broken through to the ninth rank. Wang Qinian deserves to be arrested."
Zhao Gao has been following Li Changan for nearly ten years, and his publicly disclosed cultivation level is the lower ninth rank.
Chen Pingping sighed deeply, "What a pity! I wanted to enroll him in the Inspection Institute."
"If we have Wang Qinian, he and Zong Zhui can form the double wings of the Inspection Institute! He followed Prince Yong, which is really a waste of talent!"
Shadow was silent for a while, then shook his head, "The Prince Yong's Mansion has good food and drink, and is far away from disputes.
All they need to do is protect Little Prince Yong and have fun. If I were Wang Qinian, I would join them too!"
After hearing Shadow's words, the weight Chen Pingping was holding suddenly fell to the ground!
"Shadow, you can't be serious!"
Shadow said sullenly, "There are so many things in life that are beyond our control. How can we be as carefree as His Royal Highness Prince Yong?"
Chen Pingping chuckled, "His Highness the Second Prince has been crowned a king and established his own palace. He will soon be involved in government affairs."
"Do you think Your Majesty will let Prince Yong live so carefree?"
"Just wait and see!"
