Joy of Life Episode 19

I didn't know the person who drove the carriage when Fan Xian came to the capital city was Eunuch Hou. Meeting the emperor for the first time, quite funny. Emperor- Do you want to kneel? Fan Xian- Not really. Fan Xian is in the Emperor's presence right now, and he's being quite frank, and the Emperor doesn't seem to mind it. While the Emperor kind of frightened him at the end of their meeting, with the remark about the Crown Prince. He's left the Imperial Palace and headed straight to the Prime Minister's residence, while instructed Fan Ruoruo to head to the Eastern Palace, and she's in the Crown Prince's presence, here every word that leaves her mouth matters, it's like playing with fire, they're both noticing that RuoRuo is avoiding drinking the tea served by the Crown prince, even the tea was a gift from Lin Gong. Lin Gong's brother Dabao doesn't seem bad, a disease, childlike behaviour, but atleast he's good. Prime Minister Lin Ruofu cleared his doubts about Fan Xian, while he still doesn't want acknowledge him but what can he do? His son is dead. He's asking Fan Xian to marry Wan'er, and telling him that all the property and everything of Lin Family will be his on one condition, that he'll take care of Wan'er and Dabao after Lin Ruofu dies and will protect them, and protect the Lin Family from the political enemies. If he does then Lin family will be the strongest support for him in the Capital. He's telling Fan Xian that he'll help him entry officialdom and help him promote his career and asking Fan Xian to promise him. But Fan Xian outrightly refused to promise this, he replied I won't do it not for a trade, he and Wan'er fell in love at first sight, so it's his duty to love and protect Wan'er while after marriage he'll be connected to the Lin Family by blood so it'll be his family too so he'll protect Dabao too. No matter what in this scene I feel bad for Lin Ruofu, his eldest son is unable to take on the duties and responsibilities, whole the second son was ambitious and competent but he's dead, while the only hope his daughter she's sick too. He's really got 0 options right now. While Fan Xian told all about this righteous speech, he only noted one thing down, Fan Zian met his daughter again and again, typical Dad. While Lin Ruofu sent a clear message to the Crown Prince that from now on Fan Xian will be regarded as the son-in-law of the Lin Family.
