Chapter 3: Just after the ban was lifted, he went to the brothel again?!
The news that the Sixth Prince Li Chengyun was going to marry Fan Ruoruo, the daughter of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, quickly spread throughout the capital.
The residence of Crown Prince Li Chengqian.
He learned that his father had arranged for the marriage of Fan Ruoruo, the daughter of Fan Jian, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to his sixth brother Li Chengyun.
Li Chengqian's brows suddenly became as dark as autumn clouds.
He thought to himself, "What exactly is Father's intention in doing this?"
"Fan Jian is a loyal minister to my father, and his daughter Fan Ruoruo is both talented and beautiful. Everyone in the capital knows her."
"On the other hand, my sixth brother has a bad reputation in recent years. He is a far cry from Fan Ruoruo! Does father really want to marry such a beautiful woman to my notorious sixth brother?"
Li Chengqian was even more puzzled: "Sixth brother and Fan Jian's son have a close relationship. If he can get Fan Ruoruo, wouldn't it be even more powerful? Does father really intend to let sixth brother compete with me?"
He pondered for a moment, his heart already surging with emotions.
At the same time, Li Chengqian also knew that although Fan Jian was only the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he had outstanding abilities and was deeply trusted by his father, and would surely rise to a high position in the future.
Although his sixth brother Li Chengyun appears to be a playboy, Li Chengqian knows that he is a man of great talent and can't forget how talented he was a few years ago.
on the other side.
The atmosphere at the Second Prince Li Chengze's place was also tense.
When he heard about the arranged marriage, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Interesting, interesting." Li Chengze said softly, "She is actually the daughter of Fan Jian... A few days ago, there was a lot of noise because of the incident between Fan Jian's son and Guo Baokun."
"Father, this move is really ingenious."
A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he continued, "Father once asked me to be a whetstone for my third brother, and now he wants my sixth brother to do it."
"In this court, the situation is ever-changing. Who can predict the future? Third brother, third brother, whether your sword can withstand this kind of sharpening is still unknown!"
Just five days passed in a flash.
Li Chengyun's house arrest period has expired and he is now free again.
Li Chengyun could no longer suppress his eagerness and wanted to step out of the palace.
He thought to himself that he had not stepped into Zuixianju for five days. Si Lili must have been looking forward to it and was extremely anxious.
This trip would not only relieve her homesickness, but also give her the opportunity to advance the progress of the role-playing, killing two birds with one stone.
On the bluestone path leading to the palace gate, Li Chengyun met Eunuch Hou by chance.
When Eunuch Hou saw that Li Chengyun was about to go out, he hurried forward and bowed.
"Your Highness, are you leaving the palace?" Eunuch Hou asked respectfully.
"That's right. I haven't been to Zuixianju for several days. This time I go there, I want to enjoy myself." Li Chengyun answered lightly.
When Eunuch Hou heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he hurriedly reminded: "Your Highness, the last incident has already angered His Majesty. Please be more careful in the next few days and don't cause any more trouble to displease His Majesty."
"Eunuch Hou, you are worrying too much. I know what to do! The most urgent task now is to complete this marriage as soon as possible."
Li Chengyun smiled nonchalantly, patted Eunuch Hou on the shoulder gently, and then strode out of the palace.
After leaving the palace, he went straight to Zuixianju.
After arriving at Zuixianju, Li Chengyun immediately instructed his attendants to quickly deliver a letter to Fan Sizhe.
The letter contained only one simple and urgent sentence: "I have arrived at Zuixianju, come and see me soon!"
The attendant shuttled through the bustling streets like a meteor and soon arrived at Fan Mansion.
Inside the Fan Mansion.
Fan Sizhe was immersed in the joy of receiving the news and was extremely excited.
He hurriedly prepared to sneak out, fearing that he would miss the meeting with Li Chengyun.
Fan Sizhe carefully avoided the maids and servants in the mansion and tiptoed to the side door as quietly as a cat.
Seeing that he was about to escape successfully, he couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
However, just as he was about to step out of the house, a slender and strong hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.
He shuddered all over, as if he had been electrocuted, and turned his head away stiffly.
"Where are you going?" Fan Sizhe was stunned when he heard the familiar and majestic voice. He forced a smile and called out awkwardly, "Sister..."
Fan Ruoruo was as cold as ice. She had no intention of letting her brother go. She shouted sternly, "Kneel down!"
Fan Sizhe's heart tightened and he had to kneel on the ground with a plop, his face full of grievance and confusion.
"What did Dad tell you? I've repeatedly told you not to go out these days, so why did you sneak out again? Tell me, where are you going?" Fan Ruoruo asked sternly.
Fan Sizhe rolled his eyes and tried to change the subject: "Sister, what's the situation with Fan Xian? How come he is a bastard and is more powerful than me in the mansion?"
Fan Ruoruo was unmoved. She looked at her brother coldly: "Don't change the subject. Tell me where you are going first. Also, I am your elder brother. Don't call me by my first name in the future. You must respect your elder brother."
Fan Sizhe looked embarrassed and hesitantly explained, "Well, I actually didn't plan to go anywhere. I just wanted to take a walk around the mansion and go back to rest in a while."
Hearing this, Fan Ruoruo curled up the corners of her mouth into a cold smile, and she snorted lightly: "Haha! Do you think I don't understand you?!"
"You must have some ulterior motive for going out like this. Tell me the truth immediately, or I will report it to my father."
Fan Sizhe knew how powerful his sister was and tried to avoid the question.
But Fan Ruoruo's brows were slightly furrowed, and she was obviously very dissatisfied with his concealment.
Her eyes inadvertently fell on Fan Sizhe's clenched hands behind his back, as if hiding some secret.
"What are you holding in your hand?" There was a hint of unquestionable majesty in Fan Ruoruo's tone.
Fan Sizhe panicked and quickly hid his hands behind his back, trying to crumple the note in his hand into a ball so that he could find a chance to throw it away.
However, Fan Ruoruo had already seen through everything. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and whispered, "Look, my father is here."
When Fan Sizhe heard this, he was horrified and looked back hurriedly, only to see a cunning glint in Fan Ruoruo's eyes.
While he was panicking, Fan Ruoruo acted quickly and snatched the note from his hand.
The note clearly read: "I have arrived at Zuixianju, come and see me soon!"
Fan Ruoruo's heart trembled, and she instantly understood the meaning of this.
Zuixianju? That was a famous place of entertainment in Kyoto. This note must have come from Fan Sizhe's best friend.
Needless to say, it was the person who was granted marriage - the Sixth Prince Li Chengyun.
He actually asked Fan Sizhe to go to Zuixianju to find him. This was a huge insult to her!
The more Fan Ruoruo thought about it, the angrier she became. It wasn't that she cared that much about Li Chengyun, but such a blatant provocation was really hard for her to accept.
Tears welled up in her eyes, almost bursting out, and her voice was trembling with tears:
"How could I marry such a playboy? He is about to get engaged to me, but he is still hanging around in a brothel. He is really unrepentant!"
"If I marry a man like this, my life will be like falling into an abyss, with no chance of survival! Even if it means we perish together, I will never step into this cage!"
Hearing his sister's decisive words, Fan Sizhe was stunned and secretly groaned in his heart.
He knew very well that his sister had a strong character and was a man of her words. If she was really determined not to get married, no one could change her mind.
Fan Sizhe was extremely anxious. Li Chengyun's behavior was indeed excessive. What would he do if he really angered his sister?
He hurriedly thought about how to persuade Li Chengyun to restrain his behavior so as to avoid causing a big disaster.
at this time.
Fan Xian rushed over upon hearing the news.
Seeing that Fan Sizhe looked like he had done something wrong, Fan Ruoruo's face turned red and there was determination in her eyes.
He quickly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Ruoruo, what happened to make you so angry?"
When she saw Fan Xian, the grievances in Fan Ruoruo's heart burst out like a river bursting its banks:
"Brother, that bastard Li Chengyun actually sent a message to Fan Sizhe, asking him to go to the brothel together. This is a huge insult to me!"
As she spoke, she handed the note in her hand to Fan Xian.
Fan Xian took the note and read it. He understood what was going on. He frowned and said comfortingly:
"This is indeed excessive, but you shouldn't be too angry. It's not worth it to get angry over someone who doesn't deserve it."
"I will go with Fan Sizhe later to meet the Sixth Prince and see what kind of person he is."
Fan Ruoruo nodded repeatedly: "Brother, you must help me teach that bastard a lesson!"
