I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 65 Fan Ruoruo is not a good match
Is Ye Ling'er stupid?
Uh... well, in the world of Joy of Life where everyone has old coins, Ye Ling'er is indeed naive and simple and seems stupid.

However, no matter how stupid she was, she would not be so stupid as to provoke Si Lili when Qin Yu and others were present.

Because she was afraid of offending the prince and implicating the Ye family, if Fan Xian hadn't guessed that it was Lin Gong who was responsible for the assassination on Niulan Street, she wouldn't even have mentioned Lin Gong.

Later, Emperor Qing granted her marriage, and even if she was not satisfied with her marriage with the second son, she still married Li Chengze obediently.

After all, Ye Ling'er was a native of this place. Maybe she was very different from the average daughter of a wealthy family, but she could not escape the constraints of feudal society's thinking.

Her reverence for imperial power is something that is deeply ingrained in her bones.

Therefore, Li Chengzong was too lazy to answer his younger brother's questions.

In the silk shop.

Lin Wan'er and the other two entered the store and greeted each other. Ye Ling'er then set her eyes on Si Lili.

Si Lili dressed up specially today and even put on some rouge. Her rosy face looked attractive no matter how you looked at her.

Her azure palace dress showed a voluptuous figure, but thanks to the fitted cut, she did not look overly plump. Instead, it accentuated her dignified demeanor and graceful temperament. She looked more like a daughter of a noble family than a daughter of a wealthy family. It was hard to imagine that she had once been a famous courtesan in Kyoto.

As a woman, Ye Ling'er felt a little impulsive when she saw Si Lili. She was not surprised that Li Chengzong loved Si Lili, but there was still a hint of hostility in her eyes.

Although it was very obscure, Si Lili still noticed it due to her woman's sixth sense. She turned her head and glanced at Ye Ling'er. She did not take the other party's slight hostility to heart. Instead, she nodded at her kindly as a greeting.

Lin Wan'er looked at Si Lili curiously, without saying much, and walked straight to Concubine Liu and started chatting.

Ning Cairen was fond of martial arts. When the eldest prince was still in the palace, she often went to Ning Cairen's place to play. But later, when Li Chengru went to the border, she went less often, and gradually her relationship with Ning Cairen became distant.

And Qin Yu... Lin Wan'er knew that her mother and Qin Yu had a very bad relationship. Perhaps because she hated Qin Yu's family, Qin Yu had always been distant to her. Therefore, among the three elders present, she and Concubine Liu were the closest.

As for Fan Ruoruo, like Lin Wan'er, she was simply curious about what kind of girl Si Lili was. She was just amazed for a moment and had no other thoughts. She started chatting with Qin Yu directly.

To be honest, Qin Yu was a little embarrassed.

After all, she had originally intended to have Fan Ruoruo marry her son, and her words could not be considered as hints. It was natural that she felt a little embarrassed to see Fan Ruoruo now.

Fortunately, Fan Ruoruo didn't care about the previous marriage proposal and was still chatting and laughing with Qin Yu.

So, Ning Cairen and Ye Ling'er automatically got together.

It just so happened that Ning Cairen was good at martial arts and Ye Linger was a martial arts fanatic, and the two of them unexpectedly got along well.

However, when Ning Cairen was chatting with Ye Ling'er, he would always look at Fan Ruoruo from time to time.

After drinking the tea that Si Lili offered to Qin Yu today, she felt more lively.

Li Chengzong is much younger than Li Chengru, and he has already found a wife, so it’s time for her son to find one too.

Although Ye Ling'er was not bad and we could get along quite well, that was all we could do.

When it comes to finding a daughter-in-law, Ning Cairen, like ordinary mothers, prefers ladies from wealthy families and will never give priority to girls who prefer weapons over makeup.

Noticing Concubine Ning's gaze, Qin Yu immediately understood and felt that it was not a bad idea for Fan Ruoruo to be with the eldest prince Li Chengru.

However, when it comes to things like marriage, you still have to ask about the situation clearly first.

If that person has someone they like recently, then that would be inappropriate.

So, Qin Yu, who was originally talking about silk fabrics, suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Ruoruo, do you have a man you like?"

Why do you ask so suddenly?

Could it be that Concubine Qin was dissatisfied with Si Lili and wanted to use herself to give Si Lili a warning?

It just doesn't look like it.

Fan Ruoruo's mind raced, unable to figure out the reason, but she still said honestly, "I've never met a man that made my heart beat."

Upon hearing this, before Qin Yu had time to speak, Ning Cairen smiled and said, "I've heard that the Fan family has a daughter who is both talented and beautiful. Is she married?"

Fan Ruoruo shook her head, "Never married."

Now I understand.

It turns out that Concubine Qin was asking on behalf of Concubine Ning.

"I have a son who is very straightforward. Would you like to meet him when he returns to Beijing?"

Ning Cairen was too direct, leaving Fan Ruoruo at a loss as to how to respond.

Just then, Li Chengzong walked in with his younger brother.

"Auntie Ning, it's hard for Miss Fan to answer your direct question."

Ning Cairen was puzzled: "Why is it difficult to answer this? If you want to see me, then see me. If you don't want to see me, then don't see me. I don't mean to force you."

"Miss Fan doesn't know your character, so it's not a good idea to just ask if you want to see me or not. If I say yes, it seems like Miss Fan is not happy about it. But if I say no, it will spoil your mood and offend you."

Li Chengzong said this and glanced at Fan Ruoruo.

She has a beautiful appearance, gentle and dignified manners, and is known as the most talented woman in Kyoto. Naturally, her talent and learning are also outstanding.

It is undeniable that if one did not know Fan Ruoruo, she would indeed be a good match among the daughters of a noble family in Kyoto.

But as an important female supporting role in Joy of Life, she can be called the number one brother-con in the series, and the kind of brother-con who has no bottom line and no principles, just like her father Fan Jian.

It's just that she is a brother-con, and her father Fan Jian is just a bootlicker, and he can be called a fighting dog among bootlickers. For Ye Qingmei, he is a ruthless character who is willing to send his own son to death. Although Fan Jian and Fan Ruoruo are decent characters on the protagonist's side in the plot, to be honest, Li Chengzong really has no good feelings for them.

Why did he avoid Qin Yu when he intended to let him be with Fan Ruoruo? Besides the fact that he had no feelings for Fan Ruoruo, this was also his consideration.

For Ye Qingmei, Fan Jian killed his own son, and then indirectly killed his first wife. It can be said that his son and wife were unlucky to have met him.

Fan Ruoruo is not much better off. Although her biological mother and brother were not killed by Fan Xian, they are still related to Fan Xian.

It would be fine if he didn't know the truth, but after knowing it, he is still the same as before, with no principles and brother complex. This is unacceptable.

It can be seen that if Fan Ruoruo was asked to choose between her husband and Fan Xian, she would definitely choose Fan Xian without hesitation.

In Li Chengzong's opinion, if it wasn't Fan Xian, it would be best to stay as far away from Fan Jian and Fan Ruoruo, father and daughter, as possible and not have anything to do with the Fan family.

So, when he heard Qin Yu suddenly asking Fan Ruoruo if she had a man she liked outside the door, Li Chengzong knew that his mother had started to think of matchmaking again. Although he knew that the person was not him, there were only a few people who could make his mother take the initiative to propose marriage, and they were all very close to him. In order to prevent Fan Ruoruo from harming the people close to him, he entered the store and asked for help.

Even if Fan Ruoruo has a thousand good qualities, she is definitely not a good match.

Especially for their royal children.

After hearing what Li Chengzong said, Ning Cairen asked suspiciously, "Is that so?"

Qin Yu smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, Ning Cairen smiled at Fan Ruoruo and said, "I am sorry for not thinking it through. But now that we have come to this point, you should also think about it. My son is not bad."

"Thank you for your consideration, my lady. I don't plan to get married for the time being."

This was a rejection, Ning Cairen felt a little regretful, and couldn't help but sigh: "I'm already in my twenties, and I still don't have a girl I like. It's really depressing."

Li Chengzong advised: "Aunt Ning, matters like marriage still depend on what Big Brother wants. There is no point in you being anxious. With Big Brother's temper, if he doesn't like it, I think he would dare to run away from the marriage even if the old man ordered it."

"He dares?!"

In the original plot, the Kingdom of Qing and Northern Qi were to form an alliance for marriage. If Li Chengru had not fallen in love with the Northern Qi princess Zhan Pianpian, he would have been prepared to elope, even arranging his escape route perfectly.

Thinking of this, Li Chengzong couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't you know whether he dares or not?"

As the saying goes, a son is best known by his mother. Thinking of her son's temperament, Ning Cairen fell silent.

"Zong'er is right. It's useless for us as mothers to worry about this kind of thing. We still have to see what Chengru means. Maybe he already has a girl he likes. You are worrying for nothing."

Qin Yu consoled her, looked at Fan Ruoruo, and said with a smile, "Ruoruo, we were inconsiderate before, please don't mind it."

She now realizes that her son doesn't want to see Fan Ruoruo and Li Chengru together.

Although she didn't know the reason, she thought it through clearly and just needed to stand by her son unconditionally.

"Aunt Qin, you are joking. You are doing this for my own good. How could Ruoruo mind? It's just that the eldest prince is a rare talent. I am really not worthy of him."

"I'm glad you don't mind. It's getting late now. Would you like to have dinner together?"

Regarding the meal, Fan Ruoruo readily agreed.

After all, because of the Red Mansion, she and Qin Yu have a good relationship, so having a meal together is not a problem.

So, the group had dinner before going home.

Concubine Liu took her little brother back to the Liu family, and Concubine Ning followed them back to the palace.

On the carriage back to the palace, Qin Yu couldn't help but asked out of curiosity.

"Son, you don't seem to like Fan Ruoruo very much?"

"It's not a matter of liking or not, I just don't want to interact too much with the people in the Fan Mansion."

Qin Yu understood and thought that his son was angry because of the assassination incident that year, so he didn't say anything more.

Ning Cairen was somewhat puzzled by Li Chengzong's remarks and asked, "Is there something wrong with the Fan family?"

"That's not a problem, but Aunt Ning, Fan Ruoruo is not a good match for Big Brother."

"How to say?"

Li Chengzong was silent for a moment and organized his words.

"Aunt Ning, Fan Jian controls the national treasury, and Fan Xian will take over the inner treasury in the future, which is equivalent to the Fan family controlling the financial power of Qing State. Moreover, Fan Xian is the director of the Supervisory Council and the son-in-law of Prime Minister Lin Ruofu. The national treasury, the inner treasury, and the Supervisory Council are all related to the Fan family, and Lin Ruofu also supports them in the court. If Fan Ruoruo and Big Brother are allowed to be together, the only thing the Fan family lacks, military power, will they have. Even if the old man trusts the Fan family, will some ministers in the court, as well as the crown prince and the second brother, let the Fan family be safe and sound? If you let Big Brother and Fan Ruoruo be together, you are pushing Big Brother to the forefront of the storm."

It can be seen that Ning Cairen has not given up on Fan Ruoruo.

So, Li Chengzong decided to add fuel to the fire.

“Unless you want your eldest brother to fight for the throne, it’s better to stay away from the Fan family.”

"No, no, no, I never thought of letting your elder brother fight for the throne. I just want him to be safe and sound."

Ning Cairen's expression changed instantly, and she grabbed Li Chengzong's hand and said, "Zong'er, you have always been smart. In the future, you should give your elder brother more advice and tell him not to do anything stupid."

"Don't worry, Aunt Ning, as long as you don't have the idea of ​​making Fan Ruoruo your daughter-in-law, Big Brother shouldn't have any feelings for Fan Ruoruo."

Judging from the original plot, Li Chengru had no feelings for Fan Ruoruo, but now that he has become a variable, Ning Cairen seems to like Fan Ruoruo very much. No one knows whether Li Chengru will be with Fan Ruoruo because of Ning Cairen, so it is best to give up Ning Cairen's idea of ​​making Fan Ruoruo his daughter-in-law.

And not to mention the situation in the court, just Fan Ruoruo's brother-complex nature makes them definitely not a good match.
