Fan Jian saved Fan Xian in the 33rd episode of "Celebrating Years."
The specific episode where Fan Xian saved Chen Pingping was not clearly mentioned in the search results provided, so I don't know which episode Fan Xian saved Chen Pingping in.
Fan Xian's father was Fan Jian. Fan Jian was the supporting actor in " Celebrating Years " and also Fan Xian's adoptive father. He had deep feelings for Fan Xian's mother, Ye Qingmei, so he adopted Fan Xian. Fan Jian had always had a crush on Ye Qingmei and treated Fan Xian as his own child. In order to protect Fan Xian, he did not hesitate to use his own son to replace Fan Xian's identity. In order to protect Fan Xian, Fan Jian took him back to the capital and arranged for him to marry Lin Wan 'er. In the end, Fan Jian resigned and returned to his hometown, living a stable life with Fan Xian.
Fan Jian knew that Fan Xian was not his biological son. According to the information provided, Fan Jian knew that he was not Fan Xian's biological father. He also regarded Fan Xian as his nephew and had always thought of him. He had never done anything harmful to him. Fan Jian even put Fan Xian under his name, making him an unspeakable secret. Although Fan Jian's wife, Liu Ruyu, did not know Fan Xian's true identity, Fan Jian treated Fan Xian like his own nephew. Thus, Fan Jian knew that Fan Xian was not his biological son.
The reason Fan Xian knelt before Fan Jian was because Fan Jian suspected that Fan Sizhe had colluded with the Crown Prince's people to conspire to kill Fan Xian. Fan Xian pleaded on behalf of his brother, and Fan Jian suspected that it was his wife Liu Ruyu's idea. Fan Xian also refuted it. Fan Xian asked his father to apologize to his brother because he had not done anything wrong. Fan Xian's kowtow was to protect his and his brother's innocence and hope that Fan Jian would recognize his mistake. Fan Xian's kowtow reflected the importance he placed on family relationships and the value he cherished.
Fan Jian was Fan Xian's adoptive father. Fan Jian adopted Fan Xian because he had deep feelings for Fan Xian's mother, Ye Qingmei. Ye Qingmei had transmigrated to the Qing Kingdom from the modern world. She had made a great contribution to the establishment of the Qing Kingdom, but her existence was a threat to the Qing Emperor. In order to protect Ye Qingmei's son, Fan Xian, Fan Jian made a soul-stirring decision to let his own son die in Fan Xian's place. Fan Jian had always silently protected Fan Xian and hoped that he could inherit the royal palace treasury.
The plot of Fan Jian beating Fan Xian did exist in the novel " Celebrating Years." In the twenty-third episode of the second season, Fan Xian was beaten up by Fan Jian. Fan Jian acquiesced to Fan Xian's actions and prepared to send Fan Sizhe away to Northern Qi with the Fan siblings. Thus, in " Celebrating Years," there was indeed a plot where Fan Jian beat up Fan Xian.
Celebrating Fan Xian's saving of the Third Prince is episode 32.
