Chapter 56 The Prince’s concerns.

"You are a playboy in Kyoto, but you are a relative of the emperor. But as far as I know, you are the boss behind all the big brothels in Kyoto, right?" Li An said with a smile. Without waiting for Li Hongcheng to deny it, he continued, "You have had a good relationship with the Second Prince since you were a child, and you are kind, but you are willing to run around for the Second Prince. I think you have great ambitions."

Li Hongcheng was surprised. He didn't expect that he would be so "transparent" in front of the person in front of him. He nodded, thinking that the title of fortune-teller was well-deserved.

"I guess you have been paying attention to me and Fan Xian since we came to Beijing. You should have a clear view of our whereabouts."

"That's why I left the restaurant first when there was a conflict that day." Li An turned his head and looked out the window, as if he could see Zuixianlou. "You own all the brothels in Kyoto. How huge is the profit you get? But such a huge profit is only for the Second Prince. Is this kind of life really what you want?"

Li An spoke in a gentle tone, as if chatting: "Originally, these are enough for you. Regardless of whether the second prince can eventually ascend to the throne, with these profits, you will have no worries about food and clothing in your life. But you are not satisfied. You want to build achievements and make yourself outstanding. The reason is naturally to make yourself worthy of someone."

Seeing that Li An had said this, Li Hongcheng also admitted with a bitter smile: "Yes, I like Miss Fan Ruoruo. I have pursued her many times, but she rejected me every time. I know that compared with his brother, I am just a dandy boy as the gentleman said." After a pause, he let go of his worries, his face full of bitterness, and then said: "But what can I do? I am just a tool of the second prince."

Li An did not comfort her, but nodded and agreed, "Yes, compared to Fan Xian, you are indeed not even a little bit inferior, and I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with him in your lifetime."

"Sir, why do you say that too? Can't you just lie to me?" Li Hongcheng was stunned by the shock. Why didn't Mr. Li play by the rules?

Li An would not indulge him, "I have a good impression of you, so I'll tell you the truth. Fan Ruoruo chose her future husband based on her brother's model. Do you think you can live up to that? You are neither good at literature nor martial arts, and your strategy is average. It doesn't matter what I think. The most important thing is that Fan Ruoruo's marriage is decided by her brother Fan Xian, and no one else can make a difference. Obviously, even though Fan Xian is happy with you now, he really despises you."

At this time, Li Hongcheng was left with only bitterness, and asked Li An: "Then what should I do?"

Li An smiled mysteriously and said slowly: "These are the two questions."

Li Hongcheng was stunned. This person is quite skilled in business expansion. He quickly said, "Of course."

There was no choice. At first, Li Hongcheng asked about his final fate, but the second question was about his marriage.

Li An nodded: "In fact, I can answer both of these questions at the same time. If you continue on your current path, you will end up with nothing and nothing."

"Then what should I do?" Li Hongcheng, no longer as cheerful as he was when he came, asked anxiously.

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but your feminine style is really unbearable. Who is the Fan family? They are close ministers to the emperor and they are loyal to him. And who is Fan Xian? A ninth-rank master and a great poet." Li An looked at Li Hongcheng in front of him, sizing him up and down, with undisguised disdain on his face: "Men, it's better to be masculine and strong."

Li Hongcheng understood that this was Ang Lee's roundabout way of reminding him.

"Then what can I do to avoid ending up in such a miserable lower city?"

Li An pondered for a moment, then sighed, thinking that he had really broken the rules. He said, "For Fan Ruoruo, sincerity will move mountains and break stones. As for your fate, you should keep some distance from the Second Prince. It's best to draw a clear line between you and him. After all, you are a relative of the emperor, so you don't have to worry about his revenge."

"But," Li Hongcheng explained anxiously, "Without the Second Prince, I would be nothing. How can I be worthy of Miss Ruoruo?"

"You should be able to sense that Fan Xian is actually secretly on guard against both the Second Prince and the Crown Prince. To put it bluntly, even if they are enemies, and you try to recruit Fan Xian to be friends with the Second Prince, then let's ask yourself, would Fan Xian be friends with the enemy's companions?" Li An shook his head, analyzing these simple truths.

"If you want to be Fan Xian's brother-in-law, you have to cut ties with the Second Prince. As for not wanting your end to be so miserable, you have to stay away from the Second Prince!"

At this point, Li Hongcheng finally stopped harboring any illusions. He sighed and said, "How can I be worthy of her? With my useless identity? I have no power or influence. Without the Second Prince, I'm afraid that ordinary people won't even look at me."

"Go to the border." Li An still said Li Hongcheng's final destination: "Join the army and garrison the border. Exercise yourself. This is the path you should take."

Unexpectedly, after Li An finished speaking, Li Hongcheng's eyes lit up. Right, right, that's how it should be. Not only can I leave the Second Prince, but I can also be trained and grow, and make achievements that are worthy of Ruoruo! Wonderful, wonderful! For her, I must go!
Li Hongcheng gritted his teeth and said, "Sir! I understand! After that..." "One hundred thousand taels of silver, preferably in silver notes!" Li An interrupted.

Now that I am a master, this is the price and I will not accept any bargaining!
Li Hongcheng was stunned by Li An's jumping thoughts again. It took him a while to realize that this was a reward. He thanked him in a deep voice: "Hongcheng understands. When I return home, I will ask the servants to deliver the things to you. I have learned a lot from listening to your words today. Thank you for your guidance."

After Li Hongcheng finished speaking, he stood up and bowed to Li An, and Li An remained seated without moving.

"Have a righteous mind and cultivate an iron-blooded demeanor. Now that you have done it, you must stick to it. Now I have said everything I need to say. After that, it's up to you."

After all, he broke his vow and said too many things that changed his destiny, so Ang Lee simply said one more thing.

Just as Li Hongcheng was about to say some words of thanks, a person outside the door had already walked into Danbo Bookstore.

I saw the person coming, but his voice arrived before he arrived.

"Is Bachelor Li An still in the bookstore? Is the Bachelor still here?"

It turned out that the person who came was the eunuch Hou from the palace. Li An reminded him loudly, and then the eunuch Hou entered the room. After seeing Li An, he bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty has ordered that Luming Academy is ready. I hope that the university scholar Li An will take up the position of the academy's chief priest soon!"

Li An asked curiously, "Oh? Why was this academy built so quickly?"

"Hey, it's not newly built. It's too late to build one. This was rebuilt from the former prince's mansion. Your Majesty has good intentions and is looking forward to you, the scholar, taking office as soon as possible to educate students all over the world!" Eunuch Hou explained politely.

Hearing this, Li An smiled and thought of many things at once.

Emperor Qing already knows that I have the strength of a master, but he is still in a hurry to make such arrangements. Isn't he afraid that I will refuse in person and hurt the reputation of his royal family?

"Thank you for the news. I hope you will report to His Majesty that I will take up my post at the academy tomorrow. As for the students, I will have to take the trouble to inform them of the news."

Eunuch Hou looked at Li An's reaction and said it was not hard, and then he gave instructions to inform all students about the start of classes tomorrow. After that, he greeted Li An and returned to the palace.

Li An looked at the departing figure of Eunuch Hou and sneered. This move might be a test!
