As the Minor Gay Rival in Het Novels

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye Fan Yuan has lived in Prince Duan's Mansion for two years.

Two years is neither long nor short. The situation in the court has undergone earth-shaking changes. The prince was severely reprimanded by the emperor in front of the civil and military officials of the court for forming a party for personal gain. Prince Pei Qi was favored by the emperor because of his meritorious service in suppressing bandits.

Seeing the emperor getting seriously ill day by day, the situation of hostility between the prince and the hero became more and more severe, and the undercurrents in the court were turbulent for a while. Many people have already started to stand in line, and of course many people are holding a wait-and-see attitude.

This day is the 45th birthday of An Lehou Xiao Mingge, because of the illness of the Eucharist, everything was kept simple, and the birthday banquet did not invite any guests, but only set up a few tables in the mansion.As a son of man, Fan Yuan had no choice but to prepare a big gift out of filial piety and send it to the Marquis Mansion himself, no matter how deceitful his father was.

What's more, today is a big day for him and the Hou's family to tear apart their faces. Thinking that he will no longer have to put on a show in front of the scumbag father and the prince, Fan Yuan felt that his whole body was about to fly.

Pei Qi looked at him with a dark face, and asked quietly: "Are you so happy to go back to the Hou's Mansion?"

Fan Yuan shook his head resolutely. If it wasn't for the important plot to leave today, he wouldn't be bothered to go back to that place. It's fine if he can't compare to the Wang Mansion in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. "Let's find fault together" at every turn, it's really bad.

He replied earnestly: "In the eyes of my subordinates, the palace is the place where my subordinates belong." You have provided me with delicious food and drink for two years, and you are my relatives, my lord!

A smile flashed in Pei Qi's eyes. He took off his fox fur cloak and put it on for Fan Yuan, and then tied it up thoughtfully. His movements were gentle and incompatible with his stern face, "The weather is cold, take care of yourself, Don't catch a cold."

In the past two years, he often has some unexpected movements, Fan Yuan has become accustomed to it, this cloak is very effective in keeping out the cold, he sincerely thanked: "Thank you, my lord."

Pei Qi helped him straighten his clothes, twisted a strand of his hair in the palm of his hand, stared at it for a moment and said slowly: "You really don't need me to accompany you?"

"Don't bother the lord. My father belongs to the prince. I'm afraid it's not good for the lord to go uninvited. This trip is just to fulfill filial piety. You don't have to worry about it."

Pei Qi nodded, put down his hair and said, "Go early and come back early."

Fan Yuan responded and exited his study room. It was snowing outside the house, and it was drifting wantonly. Prince Duan's Mansion seemed particularly quiet in this icy and snowy place.Ever since the emperor became seriously ill, Pei Qi began to thank guests behind closed doors, shutting himself in the palace at other times except for dealing with political affairs at court and serving sick people in the palace.

He turned his head and glanced at the room, and could vaguely see Pei Qi's back standing upright. This man's methods are far more clever than what is written in the book. The prince is not comparable to him at all. Will definitely inherit the Datong.

When the main plot unfolds, will this wise and mighty Pei Qi disappear? He will become indecisive because of a woman, and even personally send himself to a dead end...

Fan Yuan squeezed the corner of the cloak tightly, the warmth of that person and the faint scent of incense still remained on the clothes, a faint sourness welled up from the bottom of his heart, if it was this person, if it was this Pei Qi, he would be willing, To protect his love with his life.

Cui Hong on the side bowed and said, "My lord, the carriage and congratulatory gifts have been prepared, and my subordinates have ordered you to escort you to the Marquis Mansion."

Fan Yuan said thank you, and walked towards the gate of the palace first.

Since everything has already been preordained, then he just needs to follow the arrangement of fate and walk towards his end step by step, that's fine.

"Ding, the system has detected that the master has strong emotions, please correct the master as soon as possible, it will be very dangerous in the long run."

Fan Yuan said indifferently: "I am a human being, not a machine. People will naturally be grateful for being kind to me. This is normal and there is no need to correct it. I will not repay at the cost of sacrificing tasks like in the previous world. Don't worry. Don't test my emotions privately in the future, I don't like it."

"Ding, yes."

Such a rational and decisive master is very similar to the previous master. Since that world, he has been a little abnormal. Could it be that he is deliberately venting his temper?Humans, it's really hard to understand.

Arriving at Anlehou Mansion, Fan Yuan took the gift box handed over by the attendants of the palace, opened it and only glanced at it. It turned out to be a box of high-quality thousand-year-old ginseng. It was not very expensive, but it was very thoughtful.Even these little things are on his mind, he is really comprehensive.

Fan Yuan stepped into the Hou's mansion with a slight smile, and two young servants reluctantly came over, with fake smiles on their faces, and said: "Second young master, the master has ordered that if you come, I will take you directly to the study. "

As expected, Fan Yuan remained calm and said indifferently, "Lead the way ahead."

He walked slowly to the study room, looking east and west. When he first came to this world, he lived in the Hou's Mansion for several months, but he hadn't really visited it. Now it seems that the scenery is pretty good.

I don't know when it started, his eyes are only on the task, and he no longer has the enjoyment of the past, he is getting more and more anxious, and he is not calm and calm, he is not like himself.

Turning his face to see the two leading boys sweating profusely, he smiled and said, "There's no need to worry, if Lord Hou blames it, it won't be your two messengers who will suffer. "

After that, he smiled and walked forward.

Those two people looked at each other behind him, the Second Young Master was getting more and more out of tune if Master Hou dared to be so presumptuous when he was about to call.

Prince Pei Yu and Xiao Mingge had been waiting in the study for a long time. Seeing Fan Yuan's late arrival, they both looked unhappy.

Fan Yuan repeatedly complained: "The grass people have seen the prince, seen the father, the snow has fallen all the way and just stopped, the carriage is much slower than usual, I kept you waiting for a long time."

Hearing his perfunctory manner, the prince was very unhappy at first, but seeing An Lehou winked at him, he could barely stop blaming him, and then remembered that he still had something to explain to Xiao Yuan, so he could only say slowly: "No Come on, sit down."

Fan Yuan was not polite, sat down directly, picked up the hot tea at the side and slowly sipped it.

The prince is impatient, seeing his slow look, he asked anxiously: "What information has the third brother got lately?"

Fan Yuan said helplessly: "Prince, you also know that the Caomin helped you inquire about the news last time and inadvertently exposed your flaws. It seems that Prince Duan noticed something. It is not so easy to inquire about the information."

The prince said angrily: "You still dare to mention the last time, didn't you say that the third child took bribes from Li Zhizhou? The palace just handed over the bullet to the king to impeach him, and that afternoon he took the silver and sent it to the Qiankun Palace, with awe-inspiring righteousness." Report Li Zhizhou for bribing him, and in the end, the hall has the reputation of not being able to tolerate brothers and sisters, being reprimanded by the father and the king, and ridiculed by all the officials!"

Fan Yuan looked innocent, "Your Highness, how did Caomin know that Prince Duan is so impartial? It's not tens of thousands of taels, it's a whole million taels of silver! Caomin is short-sighted, how could he think that Prince Duan would do such a thing?" .”

The prince snorted heavily, but he didn't make things difficult for him, instead he smiled sinisterly and said: "Since the information cannot be stolen, you will always prescribe the medicine."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Mingge, Xiao Mingge understood, took out a white paper bag from his cuff, handed it to Fan Yuan, and said in a neutral tone: "This is Qijuesan, put it in Prince Duan's meal or In the tea, within three minutes he will be exhausted and die."

Fan Yuan took the paper bag, opened it, looked at it, and sniffed it with his nose. He wrapped it carefully and said seriously: "Father, you are really good at it. You can get such banned drugs as Qijuesan. , my son admires it."

Xiao Mingge sneered coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, you won't lose your benefits after things are done, and it won't be difficult for you to find an official position in the court, it all depends on whether you can live up to your expectations."

Fan Yuan almost laughed out loud, would he still have a way out after the incident?What benefits, what a half-job, cheating children is almost the same.

"It's not that my son doesn't want to do it. It's just that the prince's food and tea will only be imported after being inspected. I'm just a mere counselor. How can I have this opportunity? I'm afraid it won't work all the way."

The prince sneered and said: "Xiao Yuan, what are you pretending, you are the only one who has the opportunity to get close to the third child in the whole summer, you are the only one left. The palace sent so many beauties and young boys, but they all failed. It is rumored that, Prince Duan has a habit of cutting off his sleeves, and you are his heart and soul."

Fan Yuan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The rumors in the market can't be true, Cao Min is just a counselor who can't be trusted."

The crown prince slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "Xiao Yuan, you have treated this hall as a fool! Rumors are not true, but this cloak on you can still deceive people? Could it be that you really fell in love with him and betrayed this hall? What you said at the birthday banquet in this hall a few years ago was later clarified that it was a drunken speech, could it not be that it was actually a truthful speech after drinking?"

Fan Yuan lowered his eyebrows, gently rubbed the black fox fur cloak on his body with the palm of his hand, knowing that it was inappropriate but still reluctant to part with the warmth, this was his mistake.But it doesn't matter, anyway, they are going to turn their faces, and the reason is not important.

"The wine talk two years ago is not true. It's just that in the past two years, the grassroots have been taken care of by the prince, and it's impossible to do something like prescribing medicine. Please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince said with a dark face: "What if this hall refuses to forgive me?!"

Fan Yuan replied indifferently: "The carriage of Prince Duan's mansion is waiting outside the Marquis' mansion at this moment, and if we don't see the grassroots return safely, I'm afraid Prince Duan will not let it go."

The prince stood up, swept the teacup and fruit plate by his side to the ground, pointed at him and cursed angrily: "Good you Xiao Yuan, you really have a rebellious heart long ago! What kind of benefits did Pei Qi give you, so that you dare Treat this hall like this! Don’t you think this hall is easy to bully! You are willing to be Pei Qi’s running dog, but you want to come to the Japanese Hall to become the throne, what will happen to you?!”

Fan Yuan took a sip of tea and said indifferently: "It is not yet known who will be enthroned in the future."

He put the gift box he brought next to Xiao Mingge's hand, "I came here today to celebrate my father's birthday. This is a gift. It is inconvenient for my son to stay for a long time, so I will leave."

He walked out without hesitation. Pei Yu was furious in the study. He smashed all the utensils in sight, and his anger was still not calmed down. There is no reason for this!"

Xiao Mingge sat calmly on the chair all the time. He opened the gift box and saw the high-quality ginseng. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Your Highness, please calm down. Although this unfilial son has a weird temper and doesn't know how to do things, he is a bit genuine." Otherwise, how would King Duan rise from an unfavored prince to his current status."

The prince said: "But he has already taken refuge in Pei Qi! Do you want me to beg him in a low voice?!"

Xiao Mingge shook his head and said: "Why bother so much, he has a very twisted temper, once he makes up his mind to do something, no one can stop him. It's better to cut the weeds and roots, it's more straightforward."

The prince was startled, then suddenly smiled and said: "But the third child is still waiting for him to go back."

"As long as he gets out of the Marquis's Mansion, if any other accident happens, who can hold you and me accountable, even Prince Duan, can only suffer from being dumb."

"Master Hou is really willing, Xiao Yuan is Master Hou's biological son."

Xiao Mingge covered the box of thousand-year-old ginseng, and said in a cold tone: "There's nothing to be reluctant about, it's just an evil."

"Ding, in the next plot, the master will be taken to the dungeon by the prince and tortured severely. May I ask if I can exchange it for pain-free pills?"

Fan Yuan leaned on the soft cushion, was silent for a moment and said slowly: "I don't need it for now, I'll talk about it when I can't stand it any longer."

Just let him see if it is what he thinks. With so many coincidences, it would be inappropriate to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
