The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 46

[46.Chapter 46 Audacious]

Fang Jifan looked at Her Highness the Princess up and down, not because he was really bold, but because…he remembered something.

He had learned about Emperor Hongzhi’s family situation in “Records of the Ming Dynasty”. Emperor Hongzhi did have a daughter, but she died before she was a minor.

At this time, he was trying hard to recall, and it suddenly occurred to him that this premature death happened in September of the 11th year of Hongzhi. Fang Jifan didn’t know the specific day.

What is recorded above is that the princess had a splitting headache and eventually died of high fever. According to the speculations of later generations of experts, the princess’s disease was most likely just a common viral infection.

So… will the princess who is standing in front of him now, like in history, be infected and eventually die because of it?

Thinking of this, Fang Jifan felt a little regretful. Although he had to be a prodigal son with a weird and absurd face, deep down, he was still a young man with good conduct.

If you see death without saving, I’m afraid you will feel uneasy.

But, how to save it?

Just when Fang Jifan was about to leave with Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Xiurong on his side, Fang Jifan, who had no time to think too much, was still looking straight at Zhu Xiurong. Zhu Xiurong seemed to think that Fang Jifan was too presumptuous. While avoiding Fang Jifan’s wanton eyes, he still He cautiously peeked at Fang Jifan again, wanting to see if this daring guy was still continuing his presumption.

At this time, Fang Jifan said loudly: “Your Highness the Princess!”

These four words immediately broke the silence.

Then, everyone’s faces dropped in unison.

So Queen Zhang stopped and came down.

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

Emperor Hongzhi just put his hands behind his back. To a certain extent, he seemed to have figured out the rules. Although Fang Jifan, a brat, often seemed confused and ridiculous, what he did always made him stunned. 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, and I would like to ask Your Highness the Princess to take good care of your body.”

Suddenly, there was silence in the palace…

Fang Jifan’s words really came out of the blue, at least for everyone. They all looked at Fang Jifan as if he was crazy.

But… Fang Jifan seems to be used to being treated as a retarded person. The same recipe, the same taste, um… a bit sweet.

Everyone subconsciously looked at the complexion of Her Highness the Princess, but saw that Her Highness’s complexion was rosy. Fang Jifan was simply talking nonsense and was so bold.

Empress Zhang glanced at Fang Jifan, and Zhu Houzhao hurriedly whispered something to his mother.

Empress Zhang’s stern face had just softened a lot: “Is this Fang Jifan, son of Uncle Nan He? It is said that you have a brain disease?”

“Uh…” Fang Jifan was speechless. Is this a stab at his own scar?

Empress Zhang said calmly: “Treat her well, don’t hide your illness and avoid medical treatment!”

After that, she left lightly.

When Fang Jifan turned around, he found that neither Emperor Hongzhi nor Yang Ting and others seemed to know Fang Jifan. Fang Jifan could only think bitterly that they probably regarded him as a madman again.

This… is actually quite good, at least you can say it without saying anything. Otherwise, if others say what you just said, they will probably be thought to have ulterior motives, 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 his sword with him and left happily to say goodbye to Zhan Shifu. Anyway, the prince went to Renshou Palace, so he left today and went home to take care of himself.

Regarding the princess, I can only help so much.

But holding the sword in my hand, I felt a small sense of satisfaction.

This is Shang Fang’s sword. It has two words, “Wind”, and it is paired with a gold belt. If you tinker with the hair spray and put it on your head, and ask Deng Jian to fan himself with a fan behind his back, this will Wouldn’t he become the Ming Dynasty version of Fa Ge?

Thinking happily in my heart, I rushed back home, but just as I entered the house, I heard my father wailing.

Fang Jifan thought something had happened and hurried towards the source of the sound, only to see Fang Jinglong beating his chest and stamping his feet in the main hall, looking livid with anger.

“What’s wrong?” Fang Jifan was startled.

“That Shouning Hou is not a thing.” Fang Jinglong said angrily: “I deceived my father with thirty thousand taels of silver. He kept saying that he would go to Queen Zhang to marry you, and he patted his chest and said that they would take care of it. The brother ended up cheating after taking money from his father, and said that there was no way he could get back the money he had worked so hard to defraud.”

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

The father was thinking about his marriage. As a father, it is inevitable that he would be more confident in his son, especially when Fang Jifan won the golden belt, not to mention Fang Jinglong was so confident that he wanted to marry the princess.

But the British father-in-law always shied away, so Fang Jinglong thought about it, maybe he didn’t find the right way. We really can’t let the British Duke talk about this matter. Doesn’t Queen Zhang have two brothers? One is Shouning Marquis Zhang Heling, and the other is Jianchang Bo Zhang Yanling. Go to them.

In fact, the reputation of these two brothers was only slightly better than that of Fang Jifan. When they heard about this, they directly made a guarantee without saying a word. They also said that they would be willing to marry the princess, so that Fang Jinglong could persuade Fang Jinglong. He gave them thirty thousand taels of silver, saying that he wanted to take care of the people around Queen Zhang.

But the result is that after taking the money, he pretended to be dead.

Fang Jifan couldn’t come to his senses for a long time, this… was a fraud.

He stood up and became furious. How dare you defraud this young master of his money?

However, he remained silent on his face and only yawned: “It’s none of my business.” Then he left as if it was none of his business.

Fang Jinglong was left alone, still angry, muttering: “People’s hearts are evil, even relatives of the emperor and the country can deceive people like this.”

This was supposed to be autumn, but the weather turned colder, and the next day , Fang Jifan saw Xiao Xiangxiang coming in wearing a coat.

She was gasping for air, covering her whole body, and raising her body slightly, the other party continued: “Young master, it’s time to get up and go on duty. The master said that he is going to the Tianjin Guard Patrol Camp today. He ordered us to come down and let him go on duty.” 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 cotton-padded jacket and was very bloated, making it difficult for him to bend down to salute Fang Jifan.

“It’s so cold. It’s the Mid-Autumn Festival. It seems like it’s going to snow.” Fang Jifan felt relieved when he saw that Xiao Xiangxiang was wearing more clothes. Now he felt at ease. There was no need to worry when TIAOXI got up, so he subconsciously His hand traced across her tunics. Naturally, through the cotton skirt, he couldn’t touch anything. Just do your best.

Every time Fang Jifan behaved like this, Deng Jian would smile slyly, and then show a look of ambiguity and admiration.

“Master, you have forgotten, last year, wasn’t it the same day when the weather turned cold? It is like this every year.” Xiao Xiangxiang seemed to be used to it. Since she became ill, the master angrily told her to go back to him. The wall inside the room actually made a simple girl have her first love.

Is this an excuse for the young master to care about him? Does the young master know how to care for others, or is it just a prank? She couldn’t guess, but the young master had a good appearance and a face as beautiful as a jade. Although… although he had a bad temper,…

she blushed slightly while talking to Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan suddenly remembered something. Yes, isn’t it the Little Ice Age at this time? I actually forgot about this incident.

Since the Hongzhi period, the weather of the Little Ice Age has appeared. In the sixth year of Hongzhi period, heavy snow fell in the Huaihe River Basin, which did not stop until February of the following year. In other words, this 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 flat ground, but here is the city of Beijing, which is further north than the Huaihe River Basin and Hubei.

Autumn has just entered, and the weather is already like winter. I am afraid that this cold winter will not disappear until spring next year.
