5: Intercept Fan Ruoruo! Start from childhood!

Chapter 5: Stealing Fan Ruoruo! Must start from childhood!

Ye Qingmei was a Transmigrator, and she was out of place in this era.

Carelessly, she offended many people.

She and Emperor Qing had a marital relationship, but she firmly refused to enter the imperial harem.

Although she didn't enter the harem, she made Emperor Qing long for her.

This made the Empress Dowager and Empress, an aunt and niece pair, deeply resentful.

When Li Chang'an was two years old, war broke out again.

Emperor Qing personally led an expedition to Western Hu, and Chen Pingping personally oversaw Youyan to guard against Northern Qi.

An envoy from the Divine Temple pursuing Ye Qingmei appeared, and Wu Zhu went to intercept him.

In the capital, the Empress's maternal clan, in alliance with the Qin Family of the military, took advantage of Emperor Qing's absence to assassinate Ye Qingmei, who had just given birth.

Fan Jian replaced Fan Xian with his own son.

Fan Xian survived and was taken to Danzhou by Wu Zhu.

Emperor Qing, upon returning to the capital, was furious and, after careful planning, orchestrated the Bloody Night of the Capital.

The forces of the Empress Dowager and the Empress's maternal clan were completely eradicated.

Li Chang'an knew very well that Emperor Qing had orchestrated all of this from behind the scenes.

Because Ye Qingmei's Surveillance Bureau was monitoring the imperial power.

This person had already threatened the imperial power!

Therefore, she could not be allowed to live!

...In a blink of an eye, three more years passed.

Emperor Qing made great strides, eliminating many small neighboring countries.

The national strength of Southern Qing had subtly surpassed Northern Qi.

However, Southern Qing, rising from the frontier, was culturally very backward.

It was widely acknowledged that the true center of culture in the world was Northern Qi.

Li Chang'an, deep within the palace, enjoyed a leisurely and wealthy childhood.

His child's body was too weak, so Li Chang'an's True Qi Cultivation progress was not fast.

The Six Meridian Divine Sword, gifted by the System, required extremely high True Qi and was only barely at the introductory level now.

Name: Li Chang'an

World: Joy of Life

Age: 5 years old

Realm: Second Rank Upper

However, Liu Shuyan had many medical books, and Li Chang'an started reading them from a young age.

Medicine and poison are inseparable, so his poison skills also improved significantly.

One day, Liu Shuyan took Li Chang'an out of the palace to visit relatives.

That winter, severe cold descended.

Many people were saying that it was going to snow in the capital.

Snow in Southern Qing was a rare occurrence.

It was less a visit and more an acknowledgment of kinship.

Liu Shuyan was a distant relative of Duke Liu's family, but after giving birth to a prince, her status was completely different.

Therefore, the renowned Duke Liu also called her "little sister" enthusiastically.

Name: Liu Yaoquan (Duke Liu)

Age: 55

Realm: Seventh Rank Upper

Talent: Command (Seventh Rank)

Abilities: Stratagem (Sixth Rank), Command (Eighth Rank)

Affection: 30

This Duke Liu's peerage was hereditary, but he had indeed fought alongside Emperor Qing.

His strong command ability was evident.

However, Duke Liu and his sons were overly polite, which was rather boring.

Li Chang'an's attention remained on the Duke's legitimate daughter.

Name: Liu Ruyu

Age: 18

Realm: None

Talent: Socializing (Fifth Rank)

Abilities: Socializing (Sixth Rank), Gossip (Fifth Rank), Housekeeping (Third Rank)

Affection: 5

Duke Liu didn't participate much in politics, but his foresight was excellent.

He recognized Fan Jian's prestigious family background and his close relationship with Emperor Qing.

He actually married his legitimate daughter to Fan Jian as a concubine.

Fan Jian, in his twenties, was already a Fifth Rank official in the Ministry of Revenue.

At this time, Fan Jian's original wife had already passed away.

"Little Aunt's medical skills are superb; could you prescribe something for my Ruo Ruo?"

"That girl is just one year old, but she's always been frail and sickly."

"Grandma even wants to take her to Danzhou to make it easier to care for her."

Liu Ruyu's words were tinged with worry.

Actually, Fan's mother was concerned that Liu Ruyu, coming from a prominent family, wouldn't know how to care for a child.

She was also the Emperor's wet nurse, so her status in the household was very high.

From Liu Ruyu's perspective, she naturally hoped to keep Fan Ruoruo.

If she took good care of her, she could better integrate into her new family.

Perhaps Fan Jian might even elevate her to the main wife.

Liu Shuyan and Liu Ruyu were talking when Li Chang'an suddenly interjected.

"Mother, this elder sister is so beautiful!"

Everyone present smiled knowingly at this remark.

The story of Li Chang'an's zhua zhou (one-year-old Grasping the One-Year-Old) had already spread throughout the capital.

Everyone knew that Emperor Qing's third brother, Li Chang'an, had chosen hairpins and rouge.

It was feared that he would grow up to be a lecherous playboy!

Li Chang'an guessed that this reputation was being spread by someone pushing it along.

Born into the imperial family, nothing was simple.

Someone wanted him to be content as a romantic prince, spending his days surrounded by women.

The young Liu Ruyu could certainly be called a beauty.

Liu Ruyu covered her mouth and chuckled, "Brother Chang'an, you certainly know how to talk."

Liu Shuyan also said, "Chang'an is right, younger sister Ruyu is indeed so lovely that I can't help but pity her."

At this moment, Li Chang'an suddenly said, "I want to go see my niece Ruo Ruo!"

Although children's words are innocent, Liu Ruyu's mouth still twitched.

Li Chang'an was only five years old, yet he was already thinking about a one-year-old girl.

He truly lived up to his reputation as the talent who picked rouge at his zhua zhou.

Five-year-old Li Chang'an was steadily solidifying his persona.

Fan Ruoruo, the capital's foremost talented woman, was Li Chang'an's favorite female character when he watched the show.

Currently, Fan Ruoruo was still in the capital.

However, she was about to go to Danzhou.

After arriving in Danzhou, Fan Ruoruo would be completely captivated by Fan Xian's various stories.

Later, even when Fan Ruoruo became the capital's foremost talented woman, she remained a die-hard fan of Fan Xian.

Since Li Chang'an was here, Fan Ruoruo wouldn't need to go to Danzhou.

If she were to be a die-hard fan in the future, she could only be a die-hard fan of me, Li Chang'an!

Stealing her, of course, must start from childhood.

The simplest way was for Liu Shuyan to get some prescriptions to help Fan Ruoruo recuperate.

Just delaying it a little, so the Fan Family knew that Liu Ruyu treated Fan Ruoruo as her own daughter, would suffice.

Hearing that Li Chang'an wanted to go to the Fan Manor, Liu Ruyu was naturally welcoming.

Wherever the Emperor's brother went, it brought Face.

As Li Chang'an and his mother traveled by carriage to the Fan Manor, another carriage also left the imperial palace.

Inside the carriage sat Li Zhi, Prince Jing, who was already Prince Jing, and Fan Jian, the Ministry of Revenue Official.

At this moment, Li Zhi, Prince Jing's Face was filled with worry.

"Fan Jian! Why do you think Your Majesty entrusted me with the matter of poetry?"

Fan Jian chuckled, "Of course, it should be entrusted to you!"

"You usually frequent Brothels, writing poems and essays, and have a great reputation for talent!"

Li Zhi, Prince Jing had unspeakable bitterness; Emperor Qing was suspicious, so he deliberately debased himself.

Of course, Brothels had their charms, and he also enjoyed them very much.

Southern Qing had recently suffered another minor defeat against Northern Qi, and negotiations between the two sides had just concluded.

According to custom, after negotiations, a banquet was to be held for the Northern Qi Delegation.

The Northern Qi people were refined and always enjoyed composing poetry and essays during banquets.

Whenever this happened, it was a time for Southern Qing officials to scratch their heads in frustration.

Northern Qi's literary scene was far superior to Southern Qing's.

Li Zhi, Prince Jing said exasperatedly, "Don't gloat!"

"Eight out of ten famous songs on Liujing River are from Northern Qi!"

Seeing Fan Jian suppressing a mischievous laugh, Prince Jing shouted to the outside.

"Invite all the talented scholars in the capital to the Fan Manor!"

"This King will stay at the Fan Manor tonight; if I can't write three good poems, I won't leave!"
