Chapter 516 Invitation(2/2)
She will get married to Yang Fan at the end of this year, so naturally she wants to seek a happy and harmonious relationship.
What's more, it's a day like the temple fair.
In addition to praying to gods and worshiping Buddha, it was also a day for the princesses and consorts of the Tang Dynasty to gather together.
As her future husband, Princess Gaoyang certainly wanted to invite Yang Fan to get acquainted with her.
However, as a girl, it is really difficult to invite a boy to a temple fair.
However, Xiao Sizi obviously knew this too, so he helped and said, "Brother-in-law, does Sister Gao Yang want you to accompany her to the temple fair?"
As soon as these words came out, Princess Gao Yang felt a little uneasy, and her white little hands clenched involuntarily, for fear that Yang Fan would say words of rejection.
And Yang Fan never expected that such a trivial matter would make the arrogant Princess Gaoyang so cautious.
Is Her Royal Highness the Princess so unsure of herself?
I think she is young, beautiful and prosperous. As long as he is a normal man, who would not want to marry such a woman as his wife.
Isn’t it normal to accompany your future wife to a temple fair?
Why is it so hard to talk about it?
It turns out that Yang Fan has heard that this princess is a proud and arrogant person. How did she become a little white rabbit now?
But Yang Fan also didn't want to think about it. When a woman falls in love, in addition to her IQ plummeting, she will also worry about gains and losses from time to time.
Princess Gaoyang was in such a situation at this time.
Princess Gao Yang was a little disappointed after not hearing Yang Fan's answer for a long time, but she still mustered up the courage to raise her head, looked at Yang Fan and asked, "Are you going or not?"
Yang Fan knew that Princess Gao Yang had obviously misunderstood, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded lightly and pulled Princess Gao Yang into his arms.
But before Yang Fan could enjoy it, he heard Princess Jinyang say with a smile: "Brother-in-law is really shameless. You and your sister haven't even gotten married yet, yet you do shameful things."
While talking, he lightly traced his face with his fingers.
Princess Gao Yang couldn't stand her sister's teasing, so she moved her shadowless hand on Yang Fan's soft flesh.
This made Yang Fan dumbfounded. Just now he said it was a little white rabbit!
Just as Yang Fan was suffering, a cough came from outside the building: "Ahem, Your Royal Highness, is the County Prince Wannian still there? Your Majesty has invited you to go to the Manlu Palace..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a withered figure walked in from the door. It was the old eunuch Wang Huangui.
Yang Fan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. The old eunuch came at the right time. What he was least good at was dealing with coquettish women.
However, Yang Fan was a little surprised. Didn't they just meet each other just now? What kind of trick is His Majesty Li Er playing?
Could it be that the emperor had been spying on him and saw that he was taking advantage of him, so he asked the old eunuch to come out and stop him?
Soon, Yang Fan shook his head in the negative. His Majesty Li Er specially asked Xiao Sizi to invite Princess Gao Yang.
Maybe I just got so angry that I forgot to talk about the real thing.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan and Princess Gao Yang could only follow the old eunuch towards the Manlu Palace.
The old eunuch Wang Huangui led the way with his body slightly sideways.
In order to get some information, Yang Fan talked to Wang Huangui along the way: "Father, the weather is really nice. Do you think it will rain in a while?"
Although Yang Fan didn't ask explicitly, people mature with age, let alone someone like Wang Huangui.
Of course he knew that Yang Fan was asking about the emperor's mood, so Wang Huangui inadvertently raised his head, looked at the sunset, and said pointedly: "Although it is sunset, the afterglow is stronger than before. The weather is so good!"
The meaning is obvious, the emperor is in a good mood, and this summons is not a bad thing.
Wang Huangui also had his own considerations as to why he favored Yang Fan so much.
Now Yang Fan's rise is unstoppable. At a young age, he is already a county official and a third-rank official in the imperial court.
What's more, it won't be long before Yang Fan will marry Princess Gaoyang, who is the emperor's son-in-law!
You know, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has always been Princess Shang. There is no precedent for marrying a princess.
It can be seen that Yang Fan's status in the emperor's heart is unique.
Whether he was a prince-in-law or a prince, Wang Huangui had seen countless people.
However, Yang Fan was a third-rank official in the imperial court at such a young age, and was responsible for the manufacture of pistols and thunderbolts that His Majesty attached great importance to, so Wang Huangui could not help but look at him differently.
It is foreseeable that as long as we act steadily, we will not commit such a major crime as rebellion.
Once Yang Fan reaches the level of qualifications, his position as prime minister is almost certain.
Yang Fan nodded gratefully. He was really afraid of meeting His Majesty Li Er.
If His Majesty Li Er is in a bad mood, Yang Fan really doesn't want to see him. He doesn't like to be tortured.
Feeling relaxed, Yang Fan asked casually: "I heard that Eunuch Wang's hometown is in Fuzhou?"
Wang Huangui smiled even more happily: "It's rare that the county official knows the origin of this slave. My hometown is a village at the foot of Wuyi Mountain in Fuzhou."
"Back then, there were many brothers and sisters, and the family was poor. My parents could not support so many brothers and sisters, so I had no choice but to purify myself and enter the palace. Now, decades have passed, and I have become old."
The old eunuch was very emotional!
However, he did not resist talking about his tragic past.
What's more, heart-to-heart communication has always been a means of getting closer to each other, and obviously he also wanted to make good friends with Yang Fan.
Yang Fan smiled and sighed: "The wine and meat of Zhumen are stinky, and there are bones frozen to death on the road... Alas, it is hard for the people to prosper, and it is hard for the people to die... If it is not for life, who would want to have a disabled body."
Wang Huangui's eyes lit up, he raised his hands in admiration and said: "The county prince is indeed a Wenqu star who came down to earth. In one sentence, he explained the difficulties of people's lives, the changes of dynasties and changes in dynasties."
Princess Gaoyang followed behind with small steps, her manners were dignified and her pretty face was expressionless.
However, after hearing Wang Huangui's words of praise, her beautiful eyes looked at Yang Fan infatuatedly, and her eyes shone brightly, full of pride and love.
Yang Fan chuckled, waving his hands as if strolling in the courtyard: "I am lucky to be praised by my father-in-law. Oh, by the way, I wonder if there are any relatives at home?"
"His Majesty once said that after I get married to His Highness the Princess, I will go to Fuzhou, which is only one step away from Wuyi Mountain. If there is a place that needs me, it doesn't matter."
The old eunuch Wang Huangui bowed slightly and said gratefully: "Thank you, sir. Only one of the brothers and sisters in the family is still alive. However, he is just a farmer, and his grandnephew cannot be on the stage. No one should make things difficult for them."
"A few years ago, my slaves bought them several acres of poor land. If they work hard, they will be poorer, but they will not starve to death."
Wang Huangui was very grateful for Yang Fan's concern and kindness.
Because the imperial court had very strict restrictions on eunuchs, even eunuchs who were close to the emperor like Wang Huangui had no rights.
And it would be strange not to be moved by such an aloof father-in-law like Yang Fan that he is so fond of him.
What's more, if Yang Fan, the God of Wealth, can guide his family's younger generations, it will be possible for someone in the family to prosper in the future.
