Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 205 Heat

"Bi Suinan?"

This name sounded familiar to Fan Qi, but when his father suddenly mentioned it, he couldn't remember who it was.

He took out his scholarly habit and did not bother with the name Bi Suinan. He asked: "My son is stupid, please give me some advice from my father."

"Guess who the future prince will be?"

Fan Qi pondered for a while and replied: "Your Majesty always attaches great importance to etiquette. At present, the legitimate son is still young. When the eighth prince becomes an adult, the position of heir apparent will still belong to the eighth prince after all."

Fan Zhen smiled faintly and said: "Bing Qing, I prepared two sermons for your majesty today, one is called the theory of saints, and the other is called the theory of concubines. Your majesty only listened to one."

Fan Qi heard the unusualness in his father's words, frowned and said, "Is it possible that the emperor is determined to appoint the second prince as his heir? Since ancient times, not distinguishing between descendants and concubines has been the way to create chaos. Now,

It is such a troubled time and your Majesty is so willful that our Dayan is in danger."

"You, after all, still owe some heat."

Fan Zhen shook his head and said: "The emperor wants to be a saint. How can you easily guess his thoughts?"

Xie Xi turned his head as he spoke and saw Lin Zisu who was stunned at the door. He smiled and said: "Su Su, my mother-in-law has agreed. I will accompany you to the lantern festival tonight."

Since his father mentioned this matter, there must be some deep meaning. Fan Qi didn't ask any more questions and continued to listen to his father's words.

Lin Yuanzhi went to the Yamen today, while Lin Wenjing went to the government school and has not yet finished school. When Xie Xi came at this time, he could only be entertained by the elder Bi.

Fan Qi did not stand up, but looked up at his father and asked, "Father, what should my son tell his second and fifth brothers? Do they need to bring their family members with them when they enter the capital?"

Until the evening of the sixth day of July, it rained heavily all night. The water swelled and the river was full. The water in the pond in Tingfeng Courtyard also overflowed to the bluestone slab beside the pond.

Fan Zhen saw that his son was so ignorant, he sighed and said: "If my father's prediction is good, I am afraid that the princess-to-be will participate in the scripture feasts in the future."

"Too many people coming is not necessarily a good thing. Besides, things are changing in the capital. We don't need to keep the whole family here. Let's just let the two of them come over first."

Fan Qi still found it incredible and asked: "This... this is too..."

Not to mention ordinary little girls, even those princes and princesses with prominent status cannot participate in the sutra banquet casually.

Fan Zhen stood up, patted his eldest son on the shoulder, and said, "Bing Qing, before you take office, send a letter to your family, asking your second and fifth brothers to rush to the capital as soon as possible."

After returning from the sutra banquet that day, the emperor sent the boxes of things from the Wenhua Palace to Kang Ningbo's Mansion.

"At today's sutra feast, a little girl whom I didn't know came to attend. At first, even my father was confused."

"That Bi Suinan is the grandfather of Princess Dun."

The two of them were sitting separately, and Xie Xizheng was talking to Bi Shi warmly, with a cheerful smile on his face.

The clouds have cleared and the sun is shining brightly. The sky has cleared up just after the rain, and the raindrops are dripping down the tiles and hitting the uneven bluestone slabs. The water droplets converge and scatter, leaving puddles of different depths in the yard.

Lin Zisu was worried about her date with Liang Wanyi and Luo Yue. With this storm, the lantern festival would definitely not happen, and she was afraid that the date would also be ruined.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the front yard, she was surprised.

Fan Qi still didn't understand what his father meant. He lowered his head and thought carefully about the intention behind his father's words.

Hearing that his father seemed to be criticizing himself, Fan Qi felt a little frightened. He looked at his father and asked, "What does father mean..."

Fan Qi nodded and asked, "Who is the Bi Suinan my father mentioned just now?"

The first few days of July were still spent in the sweltering heat. Lin Zisu hid in the house and read all the orphan books.

"This is extremely unusual. No one in the civil or military dynasties dared to speak out against it. I was also curious. I thought it was the idiots from the Metropolitan Procuratorate who had changed their temper. Later, I asked Ye Shangshu about the origin of the girl.

It’s not simple. I saved His Majesty with my medical skills a few days ago, and now I am the future Princess Tun.”

I saw a box of fashionable fabrics and brocades placed in the flower hall. I guess it was Xie Xi who brought them here.

Lin Zisu thought to herself that her mother had never had a good impression of Xie Xi, so if she entertained Xie Xi, she might not give him a good look.

Lin Zisu was a little dumbfounded. Even if the lantern festival started as usual tonight, it would still be after the You hour. Xie Xi arrived at the house so early, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.

However, Fan Qi also heard something unusual in his father's words. The Jingyan was a place where emperors and princes studied, and it was always a very solemn occasion.

Fan Qi didn't understand what was going on with his father today. He was talking about the emperor just now, but suddenly he jumped to an unknown little girl.

Fan Qi looked shocked and immediately raised his head and looked at his father blankly.

The room suddenly became quiet, Fan Zhen turned his head, and his originally cloudy eyes suddenly shone with light.

Hearing Xie Xi say the title "mother-in-law", a flash of discomfort flashed across Bi's face. But in the blink of an eye, she smiled and said to Lin Zisu: "Originally, I had some doubts about your going to the lantern festival at night.

Although my eldest brother is going with you, he is naive and you can’t count on him at critical moments. I feel more at ease now that King Dun is with me."

He went to a sutra banquet just to have a duel with the emperor. He didn't expect to receive such a generous reward. Lin Zisu was really embarrassed.

Fan Zhen walked a few steps casually and said: "Among the many children of our Fan family, apart from you, there are only two of them who are worthy of education. With these two in the capital, you can feel free to take up the post."

Just after Shenshi, a message came from the concierge, saying that His Highness Prince Dun had arrived at the residence.

She was about to instruct her servants to go to Changguo Duke's Mansion and send a message to Luo Mansion to cancel the appointment. Unexpectedly, at noon on the seventh day of the lunar month, the sky suddenly cleared up.

Fan Zhen understood his son's question, nodded slightly, and said with an almost self-deprecating smile: "I always pride myself on being extremely smart, but I didn't expect that I was almost deceived by Your Majesty. This trick of secretly tricking Chen Cang is really amazing."

But once the boxes were opened, Lin Zisu was immersed in the exploration and no longer thought about the origins of these boxes.

"This trip to the capital is really worthwhile. In this case, I might as well go out and accompany them to fight with them."

"Mother-in-law, you're welcome, just call me Xiaosi'er."

Xie Xi smiled and said, "You can rest assured that I will accompany Su Su tonight."

Lin Zisu was a little curious. It was clear that her parents had treated Xie Xi coldly on the day of acceptance two days ago. However, after just a few days, her mother's attitude had changed so much.

What made her even more unexpected was that her father, Lin Yuanzhi, was uncharacteristically affectionate when he saw Xie Xi when he was at the office.

Lin Zisu was immediately confused. What did Xie Xi do to cause such a drastic change in his parents' attitude?
