Chapter 92 It’s a pity that Ye Ling’er married the second prince

Xie Bian whispered a few words to the Second Prince and then stepped back.

Li Chengze smiled widely, he hadn’t been so happy in a long time.

He just received news about the conversation between the Princess and the Crown Prince.

Although not first-hand.

But in the end, I only heard a few words.

“Aunt and the prince had a big fight, and the prince even contradicted Aunt because of a little maid. I wonder if he was horny and wanted to protect his woman, or if he wanted to take this opportunity to express his feelings to Aunt?”

Xie Bian bowed his head:
“Your Highness, no matter what the reason, the Princess will never stand with the Crown Prince again. On the contrary, the Crown Prince’s actions are pushing the Princess to our side!”

Li Chengze nodded with satisfaction:

“Yes, I think so too. If His Royal Highness dares to be as friendly with my aunt as before, not to mention me, even His Majesty will not be able to stand it. He might even cancel his engagement and make Fan Xian his enemy.”

The second prince was immersed in his fantasy at this moment.

The eldest princess went home.

“how?”

“After a while, the dark clouds on your face have passed away. Is the sky clearing up after the rain?”

The eldest princess walked slowly towards the seat of the second prince with her long, round and plump legs. Just by walking normally, the swaying of her waist revealed a fox-like charm that made any man unable to take his eyes away.

Li Chengze shifted his gaze, and Xie Bian bowed respectfully and quickly retreated.

“Why don’t you guys laugh when I come?”

Li Yunrui asked knowingly and walked to Li Chengze’s side. He sensibly gave up his seat and gave his exclusive seat to the eldest princess:

“Am I so scary? Should I make you scared when you see me?”

Li Chengze smiled and poured tea for his aunt:
“No way. He just respects Aunt from the bottom of his heart and dares not overstep the line. Unlike His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is generous by nature and behaves innocently and naturally without too many constraints, I didn’t expect him to contradict Aunt.”

The green tea flavor is strong, almost stronger than the tea he brewed.
The teacup was handed to the eldest princess and Li Chengze smiled.

Li Yunrui glanced at him with her beautiful eyes and then looked at the table.

Li Chengze knew that she didn’t want to take the teacup personally, so he simply put it in front of her.

His aunt had always had a mental mysophobia and never touched anything that had been touched by others. He had to be very careful when making tea for his aunt. He didn’t dare to put his fingers into the teacup and only dared to hold the lower edge to avoid being disliked.

What he didn’t know was.

If this cup of tea was brewed by the prince.

Li Yunrui would drink it all up in one gulp. If Li Chengqian dared to hand it to her in person, she would even hold the prince’s hand in her backhand, deliberately creating some physical contact to draw out the man’s little thoughts.
“I won’t drink the tea. I was fed enough at the prince’s place.”

“I’m afraid that my aunt is angry with the Crown Prince?”

Li Yunrui glanced at him, jealous, but in her mind he was still far inferior to the prince. Moreover, the reason why Li Chengqian was rude to her was just for show to His Majesty. In her heart, she still kept a place for the prince.

As long as the prince wants it, she is willing to give it to him at any time.

“You don’t have to argue. Since the prince has chosen to stand with the Fan family, then aunt will definitely not let him off easily. Aunt wants him to know that without my support, he can’t go far on his own.”

Li Chengze was happy when he heard this:
“Aunt, what should we do next?”

He meant the news that ruined the Fan family’s engagement. Should he tell Lin Wan’er?
Li Yunrui’s pretty face showed anger: “Wan’er is your sister. You have to tell her this at the most important moment in her life. How do you want her to deal with it in the future? If there is any accident, how will outsiders look at her?”

Li Chengze was a little confused.

If we want to stop Fan Xian from taking over the inner treasury, isn’t this the best opportunity?
As long as Lin Wan’er cannot successfully marry Fan Xian, all this is just empty talk!
but.

The common interests between the eldest princess and him have diverged.

The exact reason why Li Chengze didn’t want Fan Xian to get access to the inner treasury was that he didn’t want the prince’s supporters to get access to the inner treasury. This way, he would be even less able to compete with the prince in the future and would become a complete loser, with only a dead end.

But in the eyes of the eldest princess, it is not entirely a bad thing for the prince’s supporters to obtain the inner treasury. If the prince is still coveting her and is even willing to form an alliance with her in secret and hand over the financial power of the inner treasury, it would not be so difficult to accept.

But in fact.

The eldest princess was kept in the dark by the crown prince, and could not work together 100% with the second prince.

This is what makes Emperor Qing so terrifying.

He wants to control everyone, not just their behavior, but also their hearts.
“Why? Auntie!”

Li Chengze was quite dissatisfied.

Li Yunrui’s pretty face darkened, she slowly stood up and looked at him coldly:
“No reason, because Wan’er is my daughter and your sister. I want her to be the most beautiful and happiest woman on this day, that’s all.”

It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. This saying makes sense.

Because Li Yunrui only wants to eat his nephew
After she left, Li Chengze snorted coldly:
“I believe you? Humph.”

·······
The wedding is coming soon.

Lin Wan’er was wearing a bright red wedding dress, looking very happy, but her face did not show much joy:

“Mom, why are you back?”

“Can’t I come back?”

Li Yunrui held the stone stick and gently crushed the various flower petals in the medicine bowl, then stirred them all together to mix them into a particularly bright color. This was the ancient method of making rouge.

This was the color she thought was the most beautiful, and she wore this lip color when she returned to Beijing to meet the prince that day.

Lin Wan’er looked at her mother worriedly: “Does anyone know that you are returning to Beijing this time?”

“Yes, I have.”

Li Yunrui put down the medicine bowl and took out the rouge paste. Her hands were as delicate as jade porcelain. She was in her thirties but had no wrinkles at all. Instead, she had an experienced technique. She rubbed a little rouge with her jade fingers and applied it on her hands to test the color:

“It’s so beautiful.”

No man would not be fascinated by this.

Li Yunrui is absolutely confident in her beauty and all beautiful things, so she dares to use seduction to win over the prince to be her friend. This friend can be an ally or a pampering friend.
“My daughter is getting married, so as a mother I have to watch her carefully.”

Lin Wan’er closed her eyes. Li Yunrui came to her and dressed her up:

“The most beautiful woman in the world can only be me, but today, I am willing to make you the most beautiful woman.”

The rouge applied across Lin Wan’er’s thin lips, making them bright red and raising her beauty to a higher level.

Li Yunrui smiled with satisfaction: “It’s so beautiful. That damn boy got it for free.”

Lin Wan’er’s delicate body trembled, and she pulled her mother’s arm:
“Mom, please stop going against Fan Xian, okay?”

Li Yunrui’s smile slowly disappeared, and he looked at his daughter gloomily:

“Do you really have to let me slap you in your happiest place?”

Lin Wan’er’s eyes turned red, and she felt a little aggrieved.

She still couldn’t stop the hostility between her mother and Fan Xian.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry.”

As long as Fan Xian is not mentioned.

Li Yunrui is still a good mother to Lin Wan’er.

She slightly bent her slender waist, the fruit dangling in the air, and stretched out her jade hand to wipe away her daughter’s tears: “Today is the most beautiful day for a woman, don’t cry, you won’t be beautiful if you cry.”

Lin Wan’er nodded with sobs, trying her best not to cry.

Li Yunrui straightened up and looked into the distance with beautiful eyes, feeling a little disappointed: “I, your mother, have not experienced such a wonderful day, but I hope that my daughter can have this beauty, so I came back.” She said this.

His tone was full of regret.

At the same time, I am also reminiscing.

If one day, Cheng Qian can safely ascend the throne, kick that dead man who has no eyes for him off the throne, and become the ruler of all people, will he hold such a happy ceremony for her?

It doesn’t have to be seen by everyone.

As long as there is one, it will be fine, even if it is in her Kunning Palace, there is such a small ceremony. Emperor Qing Li Chengqian hugged her in auspicious clothes, went through all the etiquette, uncovered her red cloth and kissed her deeply, put her gently on the red bed, and pressed her down roughly.
“Mother, mother? Are you listening to me?”

Lin Wan’er was a little confused. Why did her mother, who was always serious, smile slightly with happiness when talking about the wedding?

Li Yunrui immediately calmed down, stopped fantasizing, and gently hugged his daughter: “Today, I will not let anyone ruin your wedding, but after today, Fan Xian and I will fight to the death.”

Done.

Li Yunrui turned and left, the hem of her skirt outlining her slender figure which was in no way inferior to her daughter’s.

in contrast.

More sexy.

Lin Wan’er watched her mother leave, tears could no longer be held back and fell from the corners of her eyes:

“I’m very happy that you can come.”

······
······
Fan Mansion.

Fan Sizhe was still howling.

Fan Ruoruo lifted her skirt and chased her around the yard.

“Sister, I’m your biological brother, can’t you hit me a little more gently?”

Fan Xian came over with a smile on his face. He had already changed into his wedding attire and was just waiting for Wan’er to finish dressing up before the ceremony could begin:

“Your Highness, the whole Fan Mansion is in turmoil since you arrived.”

Li Chengqian clasped his fists to congratulate Fan Xian, then shrugged:

“It’s not my fault. Sizhe was naughty and provoked Ruoruo.”

Fan Xian looked at his sister and sighed, “Ruoruo grew up in Danzhou when she was little. I watched her grow up. She was lively and fond of reading poetry and books. She was as agile as a rabbit and as quiet as a virgin.”

“When she becomes your crown princess in the future, don’t let her nature change.”

“That’s natural.”

Li Chengqian hooked his arm around Fan Xian’s shoulders and said, “You should protect my sister Wan’er’s nature first.”

The smile on Fan Xian’s lips faded and he rolled his eyes. As long as Wan’er didn’t ask, he would never let it slip that Uncle Wu Zhu had killed Lin Gong.

“By the way, did you know that the eldest princess is returning to Beijing?”

“OK.”

Li Chengqian nodded: “Not only that, I also know what trap she set for you.”

Fan Xian sighed: “Your aunt is unconventional. She gave her son-in-law such a big blow on the day of her daughter’s wedding. If I can’t solve the shortage of more than 20 million taels of silver in the inner treasury…”

“Can you help my uncle?”

Li Chengqian tilted his head and smiled, then nudged him:
“Don’t take advantage of me. Don’t forget, I’m also your uncle, even if I’m your cousin!”

Fan Xian brought Li Chengqian into the mansion. The eldest prince arrived early for the family dinner.

“His Royal Highness.”

The eldest prince saluted.

And the Crown Prince Hongcheng beside him: “Your Highness.”

“No gift.”

Li Chengqian slowly took his seat. As he walked along, he saw the look in Prince Hongcheng’s eyes.

Fan Ruoruo, who had been following his brother in the yard to teach him a lesson, was still harboring evil intentions.
Originally, he was Fan Ruoruo’s official partner and had always had a secret crush on her. What a pity.

The prince intercepted it.

“Hongcheng, what are you looking at? Why are you so absent-minded?”

Li Chengqian asked knowingly.

Prince Hongcheng quickly retracted his gaze, avoiding his gaze awkwardly: “Oh, no, no, I was just looking into the distance, in a daze.”

Li Chengqian stared at his face, making him feel a little embarrassed
You can’t say that he still has a crush on the Crown Prince’s fiancée, right?
Cao thief!

Die!
Only Li Chengqian has the right to be proud of others, but there is absolutely no right for others to be proud of him!
“The Second Prince is coming down”

Prince Hongcheng found an excuse and quickly changed the subject.

Fan Xian and Li Chengqian turned around and saw Ye Ling’er and Li Chengze approaching:

“Isn’t this guy grounded? Why is he here too?”

Li Chengze came with Ye Ling’er with a smile on his face to announce the good news:
“Fan Xian, congratulations. You have passed the imperial examination and have a wedding night. Not long ago, you witnessed one of the three greatest joys in life, and now you can experience another great joy. I envy your life very much.”

Ye Ling’er rolled her eyes at Li Chengze. It sounded as if they were not going to get married.

Fan Xian forced a smile and didn’t bother to be subtle, and directly invited them to take a seat.

Fan Xian was in the first seat, with Li Chengqian on his right.

When Li Chengze chose his seat, he avoided Li Chengqian.

Sit in the second seat from the left.

Ye Ling’er then came face to face with the prince.

Li Chengqian looked at his second sister-in-law. She had an outstanding appearance, a slim figure, and legs as long as bamboo. She was a top-notch beauty. Not only was she beautiful, but her family background was also extraordinary. It was a pity for such a good woman to marry his second brother.
Although not very smart, but good-looking, capable and competent.
However, Li Chengqian remembered that she had no feelings for the second prince, nor did they have an actual relationship. After Li Chengze’s death, Ye Ling’er even remarried to someone else. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was on guard, maybe it could be of use in the future.

“My second brother came to congratulate Fan Xian on his wedding despite his house arrest order. He is truly loyal and righteous!”

Li Chengqian giggled.

Li Chengze doesn’t laugh:

“Wan’er is getting married, so naturally as her brother I have to come and see it. Besides, I have also asked for permission from my father.”

Fan Xian was caught in the middle, complaining that there were such friendly and respectful brothers in the world.

Ye Ling’er’s big eyes also switched back and forth between the Second Prince and the Crown Prince.

Nervous.
“It’s a gift.”

Li Chengze pushed a black box to Fan Xian: “Open it and take a look?”

Fan Xian opened it without a smile, and inside was a silver note of five hundred thousand taels:
“What does your Highness mean?”

Li Chengze laughed: “The inner treasury is short of more than 20 million. I am worried about you. This 500,000 is just a drop in the bucket. When you take over the inner treasury in the future, you will be able to make up for the deficit, right?”

When talking about his troubles, Fan Xian pursed his lips and ignored his sarcasm.

Li Chengqian put his hand on the box, closed it and pushed it back to Li Chengze:
“Second brother, are you trying to bribe the officials in front of me?”
