Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 48: The marriage between Fan Ruoruo and the eldest princess also gets involved?
When Liu Hong almost sat on the stool.

Emperor Qing then spoke slowly.

"How is the situation in Qianlong Bay? Is it relatively stable?"

Liu Hong kept thinking, Qianlong Bay is his base, and he would never allow Emperor Qing to intervene at this time.

He calmed himself down and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, this is not good! The Western Hu are eyeing us covetously. Although the eldest prince defeated Nanling County, the Nanling County army has not lost much combat effectiveness. There is also Shangshanhu in the north."

Emperor Qing raised his eyebrows and put down the brush he was using to mark memorials.

"You mean, I have mobilized the whole country, but if I don't pay attention, Qianlong Bay will be lost?"

What does it mean to be with the king like being with a tiger? This is it!
If he says this to make Emperor Qing happy, then Liu Hong's own interests will be harmed.

If Emperor Qing is unhappy, Liu Hong will lose his head if he is not careful.

Liu Hong's forehead was gradually covered with sweat.

"The eldest prince is now stationed in Qianlong Bay. As long as the peace talks are successful, the 20,000 troops stationed in Qianlong City will be able to defend against the Western Hu."

Emperor Qing looked at Liu Hong meaningfully, then signaled Eunuch Hou to bring Liu Hong a cup of tea.

"Relax, I'm just asking casually, just chatting."

Liu Hong took the tea and was thinking to himself.

This old man is simply a ruthless person who won't give up until he sees the rabbit. Fortunately, he embezzled the food and silver from Qianlong Bay.

The first step that Emperor Qing took in sending officials was to invest in Qianlong Bay.

"I called you here this time not to ask about Qianlong Bay. I trust you to do the job!"

Emperor Qing wanted to see if his goal had been achieved, so he changed the subject.

"I have decided to let you and Fan Xian go to the Northern Qi envoy to rescue Yan Bingyun. After you come back, you will marry Fan Ruoruo."

"Ah! Two big happy events in Kyoto, Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er, Liu Hong and Fan Ruoruo, so much to celebrate!"

At the end of his speech, Emperor Qing smacked his lips, seeming to be very satisfied with his actions.

Liu Hong's pupils constricted and he smiled bitterly.

Emperor Qing was really afraid that he would join forces with the Fan family! Knowing that the Fan family valued family affection, he ordered him to marry Fan Ruoruo.

When Liu Hong walked out of the palace, he could guess what rumors would be circulating on the street.

It was said that Liu Hong gave up his title of nobility and the position of prime minister, and forced Emperor Qing to issue an edict to grant him the marriage.

In short, Emperor Qing wanted Liu Hong to have a bad relationship with the Fan family, but he didn't want Liu Hong to be killed by Fan Xian and others.

Purely disgusting stuff.

Liu Hong took his leave and left the imperial study.

The surrounding palace guards showed a hint of respect in their eyes, and the generals who expanded the territory could resonate more with the people.

Liu Hong looked at the imperial study with an expression of respect, but the coldness in his eyes deepened.

"Liu Hong should be obedient. If the Fan family gets this news, I'm afraid the sky will fall! Remember to stop Fan Jian outside the palace."

Emperor Qing felt a little tired of reviewing memorials and was fiddling with his bow and arrow.

Eunuch Hou didn't dare to interrupt this.

Fan Jian is Emperor Qing’s brother. As long as he doesn’t rebel, he can curse Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing could only endure it.

"Alas... How could this old guy be so ignorant! A young and promising general and a famous talented woman in Kyoto, what a perfect match."

Emperor Qing shot an arrow at the armor.

The arrow flew into the air and hit the breastplate of the armor, but unfortunately it fell to the ground.

"A ruler should help others achieve their goals and help all people in the world achieve their goals."

Emperor Qing smiled, but felt a little ironic about this remark.

His father, the idle prince who got the throne cheaply, once said this.

But Emperor Qing did not care. He believed that an emperor should show his grace and power to all the people in the country and uphold the dignity of the country.

Eunuch Hou silently took a few steps back, he knew that the Emperor was going to plot against others again.

So what if he was a milk brother? In the eyes of the emperor, he was just a chess piece of greater value.

If Fan Jian's life is to be exchanged for the Grand Master's life, it depends on whether Emperor Qing is willing to do so.

Liu Hong followed the little eunuch's steps and prepared to leave the palace.

His brows gradually furrowed. The way back this time was different from the last time.

"Eunuch, I wonder which important person in the palace wants to see me." Liu Hong stuffed dozens of taels of silver notes into the young eunuch's hands with an intimate gesture.

From a distance, they look like two brothers.

The young eunuch looked surprised, glanced at Liu Hong, and then continued to lead the way.

"Your Highness, the Princess, wants to see you!"

Liu Hong slowed down his pace a lot.

Emperor Qing once asked the Crown Prince to learn the art of power from the eldest princess, in the entire Joy of Life world.

The eldest princess has a firm grasp on power. She founded the Junshan Society and won over Ye Liuyun.

If Ye Liuyun had not been Emperor Qing's hidden man, the battle at Mount Dadong would have allowed the three great masters to successfully assassinate Emperor Qing.

Even the strongest grandmaster cannot withstand the attack of three opponents of the same level.

Inside the Changxin Palace, the eldest princess lay lazily on the soft couch, her body stretched out, revealing her slender feet as white as jade.

"Liu Hong?"

An enchanting yet dignified and euphemistic voice came from the soft couch.

Liu Hong stood there and bowed.

"Your Highness the Princess!"

Officials of the third rank can be considered high-ranking officials in the court, and according to their official positions in the Qing Kingdom, they do not have to kneel.

However, there are very few people who honestly follow the official duties of Qing State now.

But Liu Hong just didn't want to kneel. He thought he was now qualified to show his temper.

When the eldest princess saw Liu Hong's actions, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly with some dissatisfaction.

But he still smiled and didn't say much.

"It was thanks to you that we were able to take Qianlong Bay this time."

Liu Hong frowned.

If this sentence was said by the ministers in the court, or by Emperor Qing, it could be understood as a compliment.

But it came out of the eldest princess's mouth.

There is no doubt that this woman was testing Liu Hong's thoughts on his harem interfering in government affairs.

"Thank you for your praise, Princess. I just did what I could."

Liu Hong bowed and saluted.

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the eldest princess's peerless beauty, who was dressed in a white gauze with gold patterns, and looked very attractive.

The eldest princess was very satisfied with Liu Hong's attitude.

Since Liu Hong expressed his gratitude, it proved that he kept a tacit attitude towards my interference in politics.

This is somewhat similar to the old fox Lin Ruofu.

"What a good kid. If Wan'er's fiancée was you, even if you were of a lower birth, I wouldn't mind."

What the hell! What kind of lewd words are these?

Fan Ruoruo alone was enough to make everyone in the Fan family dissatisfied with Liu Hong.

If Lin Wan'er were to be involved, no matter how good-tempered Fan Xian was, he would have a falling out with Liu Hong.

After all, according to this point in time, Lin Wan'er and Fan Xian had already developed a secret crush on each other.

"Your Highness the Princess is joking. Master Fan and Miss Wan'er are a match made in heaven. I dare not imagine it."

Liu Hong quickly declined and refused firmly.

The eldest princess covered her mouth and chuckled.

Don't dare? Does that mean you still have this idea?

"You are a good child. Wan'er will come to see me later. Let's have dinner together."

This is different from the moment the princess saw Fan Xian for the first time, when she felt annoyed and wanted to kill him.

The more the princess looked at Liu Hong, the more satisfied she became. He was simply the perfect son-in-law in her mind.

The age is right, and secondly, Liu Hong has a fiefdom and soldiers!
The emperor would definitely not hand over the power of the inner treasury to Liu Hong, so the inner treasury would definitely still be in the hands of the eldest princess.

How could a woman like the eldest princess, who has a huge desire for power and a bit of crazy thinking, not be satisfied?
When Liu Hong heard the princess ask him to have dinner with Lin Wan'er, he was completely dumbfounded.

I had no choice but to return to Kyoto. I have always wanted to keep a low profile, but you guys just wanted to put me on the spot.
