Su Yu suspected that Fan Xian added it out of personal resentment.
After all, last time he was forced to kneel in the palace as punishment by Eunuch Hong.
When Fan Xian borrowed the tiger's power last time, that eunuch tried to crush Fan Xian's skull.
Fan Xian has always been the type to hold a grudge.
Even in jokes, the eunuch is to be killed by a meteorite.
Watching Ruoruo and Versace, I couldn't stop laughing at this joke.
Even the gentleman had a smile on his face.
Fan Xian was naturally filled with a sense of accomplishment.
He was feeling quite pleased with himself, his eyes darting around, eager to move on to the next story.
Then a servant from the Su household came to report.
"Sir, the Second Prince has arrived."
Su Yu nodded.
"Okay, call Chengze in."
Before long, a servant led the second prince in.
Li Chengze first walked to Su Yu's side and respectfully bowed.
"gentlemen."
Su Yu nodded and smiled, then gestured for him to sit down wherever he pleased.
Li Chengze, unconcerned with formalities, casually picked up a stool and sat down.
Seeing that there was no seat left next to the gentleman, he sat down next to Fan Xian.
Li Chengze always held his junior, who was a few years younger than him, in high regard.
He often had a kind of illusion.
It was as if the child in front of him was more mature than himself.
However, whether it's an illusion or Fan Xian's precocious intelligence...
In short, Li Chengze felt that Fan Xian was someone he could get along with.
Look at the Fan siblings, their eyes crinkled into crescents as they smiled.
Then he asked.
"What's new?"
Fan Xian, without any hesitation, repeated the joke from before.
"One day, His Majesty the Emperor summoned his court officials..."
Although Fan Xian knew that the person opposite him was the Second Prince.
But after spending the past few days together, he had already figured it out.
This prince had no interest in politics and was only interested in reading and playing chess.
To the teacher, they were simply fellow students.
Don't worry about it so much.
Moreover, the second prince's personality is extremely free-spirited and unrestrained, which suits his taste perfectly.
Li Chengze listened to Fan Xian's story.
At first, he looked suspicious.
I don't know why Fan Xian started talking about the politics of the capital.
The insidious things that happen within these powers.
Li Chengze must have heard of it all, or experienced it firsthand.
Therefore, I have always been cautious and prudent.
Upon hearing the last sentence, Li Chengze immediately understood.
He burst into laughter, almost laughing until tears streamed down his face.
He pointed at the innocent face in front of him and laughed and scolded.
"Your stomach hurts, you owe me money!"
Ruoruo and Versace nodded their heads several times in agreement.
Fan Xian shrugged and spread his hands.
He then looked at the gentleman and chuckled.
"What's wrong with a stomachache? Sir, this great doctor is here."
Su Yu chuckled and casually held up one finger.
Ruoruo covered her mouth and smiled, immediately understanding what it meant.
The chubby Versace was also very perceptive and answered quickly.
"It costs ten thousand taels of silver to see the doctor," Fan Xian said, paying the bill.
Fan Xian rubbed his forehead.
"forget it."
The group laughed again.
After laughing for a while, Li Chengze recalled the story from earlier.
I couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
He thought to himself, "This kid Fan Xian is far too precocious."
That story just now wasn't something anyone could make up.
At the very least, one must have some thorough understanding of the political situation.
But it's obvious that Fan Xian, a six-year-old child, couldn't possibly understand these things.
Thinking of this, he shook his head.
Perhaps he heard it somewhere and just randomly repeated it.
It's funny, but what if some people hear it?
Perhaps it won't affect Fan Xian, a mere child, but it's hard to say what will happen to his father, Si Nanbo.
Thinking of this, Li Chengze kindly reminded him again.
"Fan Xian, your story..."
Fan Xian smiled and said, "371 xi 729119."
"what happened?"
It's clear that Fan Xian's smile is a plea for praise.
Li Chengze smiled wryly.
"That was well said, but it's best not to say it again in the future."
Then he said seriously.
"After all, this is Kyoto, where people's hearts are hard to fathom."
"If your joke gets out..."
"I'm afraid I'll be arrested by the Inspectorate."
This is no joke.
Li Chengze knew that the waters of Kyoto were always very deep.
The various forces involved are complex and intertwined.
One careless mistake could give someone leverage against you.
It will deliver a fatal blow to you in the future.
Therefore, it's best to be cautious.
Although Li Chengze did not want to enter the imperial court, he was still very knowledgeable about these matters.
There was no other way; we had to survive.
Fan Xian nodded in agreement.
"Ah."
He then thanked his kind junior brother.
"Thank you."
However, deep down, he didn't really care.
Who told him to have such powerful backing?
Wu Zhu, who would beat up a Grandmaster without hesitation, is his uncle.
Su Yu, who forced a Grandmaster to kneel with a single palm strike, was his husband.
What is there for Fan Xian to fear in this world?
The two strongest people in the world are his closest people.
Isn't that enough to make him walk around with impunity? Of course he can!
Of course, Hong Sixiang, who was forced to kneel, was only a half-step Grandmaster.
However, Fan Xian's assessment of Su Yu's strength was correct.
However, no matter how tough it is...
Fan Xian knew that his own abilities were still mediocre, and he couldn't rely entirely on his teacher and uncle.
