Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 46 Bravery

  Fang Jifan looked Her Royal Highness up and down, not because he was really cowardly, but because...he remembered something.

  He had learned about the family situation of Emperor Hongzhi in "Ming Shilu". Emperor Hongzhi did have a daughter, but this daughter died before she was an adult.

   At this time, he tried hard to recall, and suddenly thought that the story of this premature death happened in September of the eleventh year of Hongzhi. Fang Jifan didn't know the exact date.

  What was recorded above was that the princess had a splitting headache and eventually died of high fever. According to the speculation of later experts, the princess' illness is most likely just a common viral infection.

  Then... Will the princess standing in front of her now, like in history, suffer from infection and eventually die because of it?

  Thinking about it this way, Fang Jifan felt a little pity. Although he had to be a prodigal, with a weisuo and absurd look on his face, deep down, he was still a young man with good conduct.

  If you see death and don't save him, you might feel uneasy.

   But, how to save it?

When Fang Jifan was about to leave with Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Xiurong on the side, Fang Jifan, who had no time to think about it, still looked at Zhu Xiurong directly. Zhu Xiurong seemed to think that Fang Jifan was too presumptuous. Then he peeked at Fang Jifan cautiously, wanting to see if this daring guy was still going wild.

  At this time, Fang Jifan said loudly: "Your Royal Highness!"

   These four words broke the silence immediately.

   Then, everyone's faces were pulled down in unison.

  So Queen Zhang stopped.

  Zhu Xiurong seemed to have suffered a great humiliation. After all, she was a woman, and it was a shameful thing to be called by a man like this in this era.

Emperor Hongzhi just had his hands behind his back. To a certain extent, he seemed to have figured out the rules. Although Fang Jifan, a stinky boy, often seemed confused and absurd, what he did always surprised him. Bright.

  Queen Zhang looked at Fang Jifan suspiciously.

  Fang Jifan saluted, feeling that the queen's eyes were much sharper than the emperor's.

  He took a deep breath, and then said: "I see that Your Highness the Princess looks very bad, please take care of your body."

   Suddenly, the hall fell silent...

  Fang Jifan's words were really abrupt, at least everyone looked at Fang Jifan as if they were insane.

  But...Fang Jifan seems to be used to being treated as a brain-dead person, the same recipe, the same taste, um...a bit sweet.

  Everyone subconsciously looked at the complexion of His Highness the Princess, but saw that His Highness's complexion was rosy, and Fang Jifan was simply talking nonsense and audacity.

  Queen Zhang glanced at Fang Jifan, and Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said something to the queen in a low voice.

  Empress Zhang's stern face eased a lot just now: "Is that Fang Jifan, the son of Nan Hebo? It is said that you have a brain disease?"

   "Uh..." Fang Jifan was speechless, is this poking his own scar?

  Empress Zhang said lightly: "Treat well, don't shy away from medical treatment!"

   After finishing speaking, he walked away lightly.

  When Fang Jifan turned around, he found that neither Emperor Hongzhi nor Yang Ting and the others seemed to know Fang Jifan.

   This way... It’s actually quite good, at least you can speak without words, otherwise, if someone else said what you said just now, it would probably be considered as having some ulterior motive, so take it out and chop it up and feed it to the dogs.

  Perhaps, having this brain disease is not necessarily a bad thing.

  He took Yujian and left Zhan Shifu excitedly. Anyway, the crown prince went to Renshou Palace, so he slipped away today and went home to take care of him.

  Princess matter, I can only help here.

   But holding Yujian in his hand, he felt a small sense of satisfaction in his heart.

This is Shangfang's sword, two words, pull the wind, and match it with a golden belt. If you fiddle with hair glue and put it on your head, Deng Jian will fan you with a fan behind your back wherever you pass. Wouldn't it be the Ming version of Fa Ge?

  Thinking happily in his heart, he hurried back home, but just entered the house when he heard his father's wailing.

  Fang Jifan thought something was wrong, hurriedly followed the source of the sound, and saw Fang Jinglong beating his chest and feet in the main hall, his face livid with annoyance.

   "What's wrong?" Fang Jifan was taken aback.

"The Marquis of Shouning, it's not a thing." Fang Jinglong said angrily, "I fooled my father with thirty thousand taels of silver, and kept saying that I would go to Queen Zhang to marry you, and even patted my chest, saying that this matter is up to them." Brother, in the end, he took the money for his father, and he just cheated, and said how could he return the money he cheated so hard."

  Fang Jifan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and it took him a long time to understand what was going on.

  Father is thinking about his marriage. As a father, it is inevitable that he will be more confident in his son, especially when Fang Jifan won the gold belt, not to mention Fang Jinglong's self-confidence is overwhelming, and he only wants to marry the princess.

   But the British prince always shirks, so Fang Jinglong thought, this is not the right way. I really can't let the British Duke talk about this matter. Doesn't Empress Zhang have two brothers, one is Shouning Hou Zhang Heling, and the other is Jianchang Bo Zhang Yanling, go find them.

These two brothers, in fact, have a better reputation than Fang Jifan. As soon as they heard about this matter, they made a promise without saying a word, and said that they would come out and wait to marry the princess. Let Fang Jinglong They were given 30,000 taels of silver, saying that they wanted to take care of the people around Queen Zhang.

   But it turned out that after taking the silver, he pretended to be dead.

  Fang Jifan couldn't recover for a long time, this...is a scam.

  He jumped up and became furious, how dare I lie to my young master's money?

  But he didn't make a sound on his face, he just yawned: "None of my business." Then he left as if it had nothing to do with him.

  Fang Jinglong was left alone, still unable to hold back his anger, muttering in his mouth: "People's hearts are sinister, the emperor's relatives are actually deceiving people like this."

  It was autumn, but the weather turned cold. On the next day, Fang Jifan saw Xiao Xiangxiang coming in wearing a jacket.

I saw her breathing heavily, covering her whole body firmly, holding her body up slightly, the other party Jifan said: "Young master, I'm going to be on duty, the master said that I'm going to Tianjin Guards to patrol the camp today, so I ordered you to come down and let me go." You must not delay your official duties."

  Fang Jifan had no choice but to stand up under Xiao Xiangxiang's service. Deng Jian was also wearing a padded jacket, and his whole body was very bloated, which made it difficult for him to bend down to salute Fang Jifan.

"It's really cold. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival. It looks like it's going to snow." Fang Jifan felt relieved when he saw that Xiao Xiangxiang was wearing a lot of clothes. His hand slid across her upturned TUN. Naturally, through the cotton skirt, she couldn't touch anything.

  Every time Fang Jifan did this, Deng Jian would give a wicked smile, and then show an ambiguous and admiring look.

"Young Master, you forgot. Didn't it turn cold this year last year? It's like this every year." Xiao Xiangxiang seems to be used to it. Ever since she fell ill, the young master angrily told her to go back to him The wall inside the room made a simple girl fall in love for the first time.

   Is this an excuse for the young master to care about himself? Does the young master know how to hurt others, or is it just a prank? She couldn't figure it out, but the young master is good-looking, with a face like a crown of jade, although...he has a bad temper, but...

  Her face was reddish as she talked with Fang Jifan.

   Fang Jifan suddenly remembered something, yes, isn't this the Little Ice Age? I actually forgot about this.

  Since the reign of Hongzhi, the weather of the Little Ice Age has appeared. In the sixth year of Hongzhi, the Huaihe River Basin experienced heavy snowfall, which did not stop until February of the following year. In other words, the snow fell for half a year.

  It is said that even in Hubei, the snow that falls is five or six feet deep on the ground, but here is Beijing, which is further north than the Huaihe River Basin and Hubei.

  The weather has just entered autumn, and the weather is already like winter. I am afraid that the cold winter will not dissipate in the spring of next year.

  ...

  The editor said, let the readers go to the book review area to yell a few times, at least they can pretend that the new book is very popular, so why don't you give it a try? Just ask for everyone's support.
