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

Chapter 68: The Princess Considers Liu Hong Her Son-in-Law? Covering for Fan Xian
"I think it's inappropriate!"

Originally, Liu Hong could have agreed with Yan Xiaoyi, but he decided to tell the truth.

"Fan Xian has always been known for his talent. Even if Zhuang Mohan slanders his literary reputation, what if he composes a few more poems in the hall that are not inferior to the ones in Climbing the Heights?"

The eldest princess's eyes became much gentler.

He twisted the tea leaves between his fingers and sighed.

"You are very good. You dare to tell the truth. It would be great if you were my child."

Yan Xiaoyi was stunned. Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er's engagement was a fact.

The eldest princess actually wants Liu Hong to marry Lin Wan'er. This is probably too difficult.

Instead, Liu Hong felt a chill in his heart and made up his mind not to stand in the eldest princess's team no matter what.

Because the grass on the grave of Lin Gong, who had made the princess feel that he was a good boy, is now three feet high.

"Liu Hong, you can communicate more with Xiao Yi if you have nothing to do. He will help you if you have any problem. After all, as a man, it is not appropriate for you to enter Guangxin Palace frequently."

You know that too! You let me into Guangxin Palace twice in a row.

With Emperor Qing's sinister character, it would be strange if he didn't investigate! Liu Hong kept thinking in his heart.

"By the way, there is also the matter of the Qin family. The old man asked me to bring you a message, saying that it is fine as it is."

The eldest princess suddenly spoke again.

He was startled and seemed a little nervous.

"Yes!"

Liu Hong bowed and took his leave.

A hint of disappointment flashed across the eldest princess's eyes. She had done so much because she sincerely hoped that Liu Hong would marry Lin Wan'er.

After all, only Liu Hong, a young nobleman who was born as a military general and held great power in the Ministry of War, was not able to control the inner treasury.

And Fan Xian... The princess shook her head. She didn't know why, but every time she saw his face.

She always wanted to kill Fan Xian!
Moreover, Fan Xian should never have obeyed the order of His Majesty and seized her inner treasury.

The tea leaves were slowly put into the boiling water. The eldest princess' eyes were deep and dark, suppressing countless madness.

Yan Xiaoyi left the palace with Liu Hong.

Just a few steps away from leaving the palace, Yan Xiaoyi stopped with a complicated expression.

"Liu Hong! The princess thinks highly of you. I hope you won't let her down."

If a person can do this, it is probably true love!

However, Yan Xiaoyi has always concealed his admiration. Although he is the commander of the imperial guards, he still feels inferior in front of the eldest princess.

Liu Hong paused, smiled brightly, and said nothing.

After returning to the Ministry of War, Liu Hong immediately wrote an impeachment against the Qin family for selling official positions and bribing himself with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

In exchange for the impeachment memorial, Chang Kun, a retainer, was transferred to be the deputy admiral of the Jiaozhou Navy.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the court, which had been filled with tensions over Zhang Qigu, became tense again.

Emperor Qing had an ambiguous attitude. He suppressed the memorial and said nothing.

The Privy Council controlled by the Qin family and Liu Hong's Ministry of War engaged in a war of words with each other.

Impeachment memorials were delivered to Emperor Qing's imperial study almost one after another.

But no matter how you look at it, it seems like a lot of thunder but little rain. Both sides know that Emperor Qing will definitely not let anyone fall.

So it’s better to keep the tension on the surface.

In fact, under the suggestion of tens of thousands of taels of silver from Liu Hong, He Hai personally approved a note to transfer Chang Kun to the position of deputy admiral of Jiaozhou Navy.

The Qin family also followed the agreement. The original garrison in Qianlong Bay was 20,000 at most, but with the deployment of the Privy Council, they were allowed to recruit 50,000 soldiers in Qianlong Bay.

This behind-the-scenes operation was silent, tacit and seamless.

Even the Supervisory Office could not find any communication between Liu Hong and the Qin family.

Later, the news of Yan Bingyun's arrest finally arrived and spread to every corner of Kyoto.

The Supervisory Council has eight departments, and the heads of each department are equivalent to second- and third-rank officials. Yan Ruohai, who is in charge of the fourth department's intelligence on Qing Country, is one of the power cores of the Supervisory Council.

His son was captured, and he was captured for the State of Qi.

This immediately ignited the sympathy of patriotic literati in Kyoto, and they demanded to be transferred back to Kyoto.

In the courtyard, Fan Xian dragged his tired body.

"The conditions for demanding a compensation of three million taels of silver and four million dan of grain were withdrawn, and even some good territories were forced to be given up." Liu Hong remained silent and just refilled Fan Xian's cup of tea.

"I'm very curious about what magic you have that convinced His Majesty not to cede the grassland in Qianlong Bay."

"I did not say anything."

Liu Hong took a sip of tea. Fan Ruoruo, who was standing behind Fan Xian, was obviously also full of disbelief.

"Your Majesty has the ambition to unify the world. If you don't have war horses, how long will it take to defeat Northern Qi?"

Fan Xian nodded, indeed!

Of all the occupied places, Qianlong Bay was the most important.

"The Crown Prince is a man of old-fashioned and polite manners. He can be a king who maintains the status quo, but he is destined not to be a king who expands the territory."

I heard Fan Xian’s comments about the prince.

Liu Hong's face was full of question marks. He didn't expect that Fan Xian's evaluation of the prince would be like this.

He was a man who valued etiquette and was old-fashioned. How about having sex with his aunt? He was intimate with the palace maids and asked them to cover their eyes.

Even with all these fancy tricks, are you still so old-fashioned?
"Don't underestimate the prince. Deep down, he is the most like Emperor Qing."

Liu Hong kindly reminded Fan Xian.

Now that the peace talks are over, tonight we will go to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests to hold a banquet to celebrate the victory and express the everlasting friendship among the three countries.

Fan Xian finally got to the point.

"Have you found the locksmith I asked you to help me find? He must change the locks quickly."

"Don't worry about me doing the job! But you are really not afraid of death."

Every time Fan Xian saw Liu Hong looking so relaxed, he felt a little aggrieved.

Obviously, Liu Hong's background is not a mystery in the whole Kyoto.

The speed with which he rose from a mere pirate to a third-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of War was truly jaw-dropping.

However, every time Fan Xian was with Liu Hong, he always felt uncomfortable.

It seemed as if Liu Hong had anticipated every step he took.

But every time Liu Hong was asked, he just smiled and said nothing.

"If you think you can't escape the palace, then stop at the Vegetarian Inspection Office and someone will pick you up."

Liu Hong gently took out a jade pendant and placed it on the table.

"Even the palace has your spies, what do you want to do?"

Fan Xian stared at Liu Hong. Was this a declaration of his strength?

"If it weren't for Ruoruo, I wouldn't be able to help you, you know? This isn't my man, if I'm not careful, I might get implicated."

Liu Hong lied with open eyes.

Clear the relationship between himself and Hong Zhu.

When Fan Ruoruo heard this, her earlobes suddenly turned red, but when she heard that her brother's safety was guaranteed, she smiled gratefully at Liu Hong.

My future husband seems to be reliable.

My brother is capable of helping when he is doing something that could put his life at risk.

Liu Hong looked at Fan Ruoruo quietly, seemingly admiring her, but in fact only he knew what he was thinking.

If Sang Wen heard about this kind of thing, he would probably advise himself not to take risks at the first moment.

Liu Hong shook his head to dispel the distracting thoughts in his mind.

In any case, the Fan family's network of relationships will be of great use to me.

At least in the past two months, Liu Hong got to know many ministers of the six ministries through the Fan family, except for the prime minister.

"Master Fan, Master Liu... the time has come, we should go to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests."

Wang Qinian came out from outside the compound and indicated that the carriage was ready.

Fan Xian smiled heartily, quite excited. Breaking into the palace at night was something he had never done before.

After Fan Xian left the compound, Fan Ruoruo looked directly at Liu Hong with her clear eyes, her voice filled with pleading.

"Don't let your brother find out, okay?"

Liu Hong suppressed his emotions and patted Fan Ruoruo gently on the shoulder.
