Fang Yuan already knew the identity of Princess Xiangcheng, so he dared to propose breaking the engagement.

How courageous!

That was a royal marriage!

"Yes."

Fang Yuan didn't deny it, he said calmly.

"Since you know, how dare you say that?"

Princess Xiangcheng said in surprise.

Now that you know it, you are helping to ruin the royal wedding.

A royal marriage is not an ordinary marriage, it is related to the interests of the princes.

"I also said that at that time, as the governor of Liaozhou, there are some things I can't say."

"But as a friend, I hope you can think carefully and pursue your own happiness."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

"Since we are friends, you can call me Wanxiu just like Miaoyan in private."

"At the same time, as a friend, I have one more thing to ask you, which is related to whether your method can succeed!"

Princess Xiangcheng pondered for a moment, then smiled happily.

She thought about it seriously, Fang Yuan guessed that he was a princess and helped him, because he sincerely regarded him as a friend.

If it is false, just ignore it, there is no need to get involved in this matter.

After all, Xiao Rui is not an ordinary person, he is the eldest son of Xiao Yu, the heir of the Nanliang House of the Xiao Clan in Lanling.

In this matter, the benefits brought by the princess's friendship are definitely not as great as Xiao's hostility.

Therefore Fang Yuan treats his friendship purely, not mixed with interests.

"what's up?"

Fang Yuan asked.

"Hide it for me, don't tell my father that I have exposed my identity to you."

"Otherwise he will definitely be unhappy, and it will be even more difficult for me to destroy my marriage with Xiao Rui."

Princess Xiangcheng said in a deep voice.

This matter is very important, related to the emperor's attitude towards her.

The attitude of the emperor is an important means for her to resist the marriage with Xiao Rui.

"no problem."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, and said seriously.

"Okay, high five for an oath!"

Princess Xiangcheng held out her palm to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan didn't hesitate, and slapped her.

"Phew, I finally breathed a sigh of relief."

"Fang Yuan, why do you know our identities and still act like you don't?"

Princess Xiangcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Worry can finally be let go.

With Fang Yuan's consent, the emperor would not know about it.

As for Xiao Rui, he didn't know much about this matter, so he could just warn him later.

"Why act like you know?"

Fang Yuan asked back.

Act like you know and grovel?

Although the relationship between courtiers and emperors in the Tang Dynasty was not that of master and servant, it was not a relationship of friends either.

There is an insurmountable gap between the identities of the two, Fang Yuan is a person who likes freedom and doesn't like to salute others.

Fortunately, I didn't travel to the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, otherwise kneeling would be even more uncomfortable.

"Well, it seems to be fine."

Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan looked at each other and said in astonishment.

"Fang Yuan, do you know my identity?"

Du Miaoyan looked at Fang Yuan and asked expectantly.

"The right servant of Shangshu shot Du Ruhui's daughter?!"

Fang Yuan is not sure.

He has confirmed the identity of the housekeeper, Old Du.

But whether Du Miaoyan is Du Ruhui's daughter Fang Yuan did not investigate.

In fact, Fang Yuan did not check which princess Li Wanxiu was.

It was when Li Shimin introduced her as the eldest daughter that Fang Yuan guessed it was Princess Xiangcheng.

"Well, it's me, I'm the eldest daughter."

"My father told me to come to Liaozhou to find you, and I know you."

Du Miaoyan nodded repeatedly, a little shy in excitement.

It was my father who chose you as my husband-in-law, so let me get to know you.

But Du Miaoyan couldn't say such blunt words, but in fact it was similar.

"Du has kindness to me. When you go back and tell me someday, I will prepare some gifts."

Fang Yuan nodded, solemnly said.

From known information, Du Ruhui seemed to have helped him three times.

For the first time, according to his own experience, he was almost ineligible to be promoted to the governor of Liaozhou. He was most likely to be transferred to the county magistrate, but I heard that Du Ruhui personally went to the Ministry of Officials to make a decision.

The second time, when he first took office, people from one city and three counties in Liaozhou gathered at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, listening to the news from the relationship in Chang'an City. Many officials impeached themselves, but they were suppressed by Du Ruhui.

The third time, when dealing with Xiwen Pei's family and Pei Ji, Fang Yuan's idea was to use Wang Gui's help, but Du Ruhui also extended a helping hand.

This is a noble person like Zhao Yingcai, Fang Yuan is very grateful to them.

"I don't need any gifts to thank you, just treat Miaoyan well."

Princess Xiangcheng took the lead and spoke before Du Miaoyan.

Du Miaoyan's face turned redder, she was too embarrassed to look at Fang Yuan.

But she is relatively cold-tempered, and she is not shy enough to bow her head and dare not meet people.

"That's natural."

"In Liaozhou, no one will bully her."

Fang Yuan said seriously.

"Speaking of going back, I'm going back early."

"I originally wanted to play for a few more days, but when Xiao Rui came, I didn't want to stay. It's better to go back earlier."

Princess Xiangcheng gave Fang Yuan a blank look, secretly scolded Fang Yuan for not understanding what he said, then sighed.

"Then I'll go back with you too."

Du Miaoyan pondered for a moment, then said slowly.

She promised to help Princess Xiangcheng, and she has been away from home for a long time.

The most important thing is that it's December, and this year is coming to an end, so come back home after the Lantern Festival.

"Fix the time, I'll prepare some gifts for you."

Fang Yuan didn't hold back.

All good things come to an end.

Maybe it will be better next time we meet.

"It's almost the annual vacation, Fang Yuan, what are your plans?"

Du Miaoyan asked.

She wanted to invite Fang Yuan to play in Chang'an City.

"Go to Langzhou to visit a nobleman."

Fang Yuan laughed.

This noble person is Zhao Yingcai.

Fang Yuan felt sorry for not being able to personally thank Zhao Yingcai for his cultivation after receiving the letter of appointment in Wuling County.

Now at the end of the year, there is finally a seven-day holiday, but no matter what, I have to visit with Zhang San and the others in person.

"That's very good."

Du Miaoyan smiled and said.

Since it is to meet the nobleman, it is still important to meet the nobleman.

Chang'an City will always be there, and there is no problem in visiting it anytime.

"Then don't say it."

"I have to go back and warn that short-lived ghost."

Princess Xiangcheng sighed, got up and said.

After learning that Xiao Rui is a short-lived ghost, she resented this marriage even more.

No matter what, she will try her best once, it is human effort, and she will not regret it if she fails.

"I'll send you."

Fang Yuan also stood up.
