Prince Han Sien

Before Han Sien returned to the government, the South Korean government received the emperor's imperial edict of marriage.

Although the object of the marriage was Han Qingxue, for the Korean government, this was a happy thing.But when the eunuch read the imperial decree, Han Zhuo's heart jumped instantly when he heard the content of the imperial decree, and he had a very bad premonition in his heart.

The imperial decree of the emperor's marriage is very simple. It only says that Han Qingxue, the eldest daughter of Han Shu, the fifth-rank chief of the Ministry of Industry, is dignified and virtuous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance. For the concubine.

What surprised Han Zhuo was Han Qingxue, the eldest daughter of the fifth-rank principal Lang, not Han Qingxue, the eldest daughter of the South Korean government.

Because the old lady is here, the South Korean government has not separated the family. The order of the younger generation is all together, and they are a family to the outside world.

And according to the past practice, the name of the marriage bestowed by the emperor should be called Han Qingxue as the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, so as to prevent her own father's status from being too low in official status, and she is a royal wife, so that no one will look down on her. .

Now, from this imperial decree, it can be seen that the emperor's deep displeasure was undisguised, and even a little deliberate. The emperor seemed very dissatisfied with this matter.

Han Zhuo instinctively felt that the emperor's attitude had something to do with Han Si'en who had just entered the palace, so after the eunuch read out the imperial edict, he glanced at Han Shu, wanting him to inquire about the situation from the eunuch.But Han Shu, who has always been in awe of Han Zhuo, is now immersed in extreme joy and shock just like everyone else in Erfang.

After Han Qingxue stood up, Mrs. Zhang firmly held her daughter's hand with an unstoppable smile on her face.There were even tears in her eyes. The long-cherished wish for many years finally came true at this moment. It can be seen how pleasantly surprised she was.

If she wasn't afraid of being too abrupt, she even wanted to grab the eunuch Xuanzhi and ask if it was real or if she was dreaming.

Han Shu's mind was also replaced by a huge surprise. His smiling eyes were so small that there was almost only a gap, and the corners of his mouth were cracked, revealing his neat teeth.Thinking that he was about to become the father-in-law of a promising prince, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It was the first time for Han Shu to take a step forward to greet the eunuch before Han Zhuo opened his mouth. The eunuch who announced the decree looked very respectful. He smiled and said to Han Shu: "This is my congratulations to Mr. Han. This marriage is a big deal. The fifth prince personally proposed to marry him."

Han Shu hurriedly grabbed his hand, talking about Tong Xi.Looking at this person's respectful expression, he felt very complicated, but more excited.This is the first time since he entered the court as an official, someone has taken him so seriously.

Of course, everyone was very kind to him in the past, but he knew that it was all because of his elder brother's face.As long as his elder brother Han Zhuo is present, everyone's eyes will be on Han Zhuo, and all respectful words will be said to Han Zhuo, and no one will notice his existence.

Those people would not offend him, but no one would pay full attention to him, the fifth grade official.

The courtiers who served the emperor in the palace had always only curry favor with Han Zhuo, so how could they curry favor with him.Now Han Shu really felt that his identity was different. Although his behavior was not disrespectful, he was still a lot more arrogant and reserved than before.If a person had a tail, his current tail would stand up and shake.

Han Shu surpassed Han Zhuo to wrap up a large bag of rewards for the eunuch, and then planned to send him out of the Duke's mansion himself.This eunuch would not neglect the Duke who was left alone, and said goodbye to Han Zhuo before leaving.

Han Zhuo was very disappointed with Han Shu's performance, but he kept silent.After the eunuch left, Han Shu came back from the door, looked at Han Qingxue and said with a smile, "My son has a future at last."

Han Zhuo couldn't help but give Han Shu two words in his heart, idiot.

"Idiot." When these two words sounded, Han Zhuo thought he was speaking, but it was not his voice, it was the old lady who spoke.

The old lady glared at Han Shu, and knocked hard on the ground a few times with the tin stick in her hand. She looked at Han Shu who was unable to support the wall due to the mud, and said impatiently, "Everyone else is gone. Everyone in the house is gone." Three months of money will be rewarded, and you and your elder brother will come to my yard."

Han Shu didn't know why, but Han Qingxue glanced at the old lady, and his thoughts changed slightly.There may have been changes in her marriage with Ji Huai, but now that the imperial decree has been issued, the emperor has said that this matter cannot be false, she is not afraid that there will be other changes in the marriage, but she is concerned about what the old lady is looking for her father?

@@

When Han Shu and Han Zhuo arrived in the old lady's yard, the old lady sat on a soft chair and scolded Han Shu all over her face.

Han Shu didn't understand why he was being scolded at all. After the old lady finished scolding out of breath, he said with an aggrieved face, "Mother, today is a happy day for the family. What are you doing?"

The old lady's chest heaved from anger, and she said, "A happy event? Where did the happy event come from?"

When Han Shu heard this, he yelled unhappily: "Mother, could it be that the marriage between Qingxue and the Fifth Prince is not a happy event in your eyes? I know that you have always come to see brother Da in the past, but today your words are a bit too much. "

The old lady looked at Han Shu, who was only complacent, without any long-sightedness, and felt angry and helpless in her heart.She rubbed her sore forehead, interrupted Han Shu's complaints, and asked bluntly: "I ask you, the fifth prince, the concubine, the eldest daughter of the Naguo Duke's mansion, and Nayou, the fifth-rank official's concubine?" Eldest daughter, is it the same?"

Although they are the same person, they are different in the end.Han Yun asked her son to marry the eldest daughter of a duke's mansion, and marry the daughter of a minor official, those are definitely two different feelings.It's just that in the past, Han Si'en wasn't such a moth, and there was an old lady in charge of the Duke's mansion, so she instinctively ignored the relationship.

Han Shu is not the kind of person who has a particularly dull brain. Hearing the old lady's question, he was suddenly shocked, remembering the meaning of the emperor's imperial decree, and was shocked. He looked at the old lady nervously and said: "Mother thinks too much." Well, before leaving, the eunuch said that the marriage was requested by the fifth prince himself, and the emperor was very happy to grant it, how could the emperor be dissatisfied?"

Speaking of this, Han Shu was also puzzled. He looked at the old lady and said, "No, why is it not the concubine Xian who is asking for the order, but the fifth prince?"

The old lady couldn't answer this question. When Han Shu said that the eunuch said that the fifth prince proposed to marry him in person, her head went dark for a while.If the fifth prince's personal begging was said publicly by the emperor, the marriage between Han Qingxue and the fifth prince would inevitably have a different color.

From this, she thought of Han Yun again, fearing that it was because Han Yun did not agree to the marriage that Ji Huai personally requested the marriage.

But even so, she couldn't figure out why the emperor didn't give the South Korean government so much face.After much deliberation, she had no choice but to link this matter with Han Sien. She thought that maybe Han Sien had slandered the emperor, which made the emperor displeased, so he refused to give the fifth prince or the palace Concubine Neixian's face.

Of course, no matter how she thought about it, she would never have thought that Han Si'en had revealed their old background to the emperor.

What the old lady could think of was that Han Zhuo had already thought about it in her heart.Although he knew it was useless, Han Zhuo still stated that he wanted to ask Han Sien about the situation at that time.

When Han Shu heard that this matter was related to Han Sien, he immediately became dissatisfied with Han Zhuo.He felt that if his eldest brother hadn't been indecisive all these years and insisted on saving Han Sien's life to be a loving father, their Han family wouldn't have become what they are now.

Han Shu rolled his eyes, and Han Zhuo knew what he was thinking.

Han Zhuo looked at him, feeling a little cold in his heart. When facing power, people will always inadvertently reveal their deepest thoughts.Han Shu was no exception. He had been suppressed by him for too long in the past, but now he just got a so-called good marriage, and his whole person began to be arrogant, which was really looked down upon.

The old lady didn't know what Han Zhuo was thinking, but she could see what Han Shu was thinking.

She was a little depressed, but she didn't know what to say. Han Shu didn't know what he and Han Zhuo had discussed.Now she doesn't know what the concubine Xian in the palace thinks when Han Qingxue is married to the fifth prince's mansion like this.Will it make her feel unhappy, and feel that Han Qingxue is thinking too much.

However, the old lady thinks that the most important thing now is to get rid of Han Shu's pride, lest he inadvertently make the person on the dragon chair even more unhappy. As for other things, in the old lady's opinion, there is still room for improvement room for.

Thinking of this, the old lady stared at Han Shu and said: "These days, you should keep a low profile in the court, don't be too complacent, because people will catch you, and no one can save you."

Han Shu could still listen to what the old lady said, so he quickly agreed.

The old lady looked at Han Zhuo, her tone was a little restrained, and she seemed gentler: "Concubine Xian, you can find a chance to call... meet him face-to-face, and see what the emperor's attitude is." What she wanted to say was to look at Concubine Xian's Attitude, but at the moment this can only be said vaguely.Han Zhuo knew in his heart that he was just afraid that the meaning in the words would attract Han Shu's attention.

Han Zhuo didn't want to cause quarrels between his brothers at this time and make the family restless, so he nodded and said, "I will send news to the palace tomorrow, baby."

The old lady felt that there was nothing she could do, so she closed her eyes tiredly and said: "You all go back, let the people in the house stop thinking these days, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes." In fact, she still had a layer of worry in her heart, I was worried that Han Yun would mess up her footsteps at this time, and I had to wait for the news to come out.

Seeing the old lady's appearance, Han Zhuo and Han Shu said something to comfort her, and then both backed away.

After Han Shu and Han Zhuo left Wutong Garden, they were speechless along the way.Back in their own yards.After thinking for a while, Han Shu decided to go to Mrs. Zhang and tell her the old lady's analysis to see if there was anything wrong with it.

As soon as Han Shu walked to the door of Zhang's room, he heard Zhang crying: "If the old lady's heart is really so biased, my son has suffered a lot. Fortunately, my son doesn't have to be afraid now."

The girl at the door saw Han Shu and was about to speak, but Han Shu glared at her, then opened the door and entered.

In the room, Mrs. Zhang and Han Qingxue were hugging each other and crying into a ball. When they saw him coming in, they both stopped crying.Han Shu sat on the chair, looked at the two of them and frowned, "What are you talking about, crying so miserably?"

Although he was a bit dull at certain times, he had always been filial. He was already unhappy when he heard that Mrs. Zhang had brought the old lady into her words just now.

Mrs. Zhang is the person who knows her husband best, seeing his expression, she was startled, she opened her mouth, just about to change the topic.Han Qingxue knelt down towards Han Shu and cried, "Father, it's my daughter's fault, but the child is really cold-hearted. My father has been thinking about this family all these years, but my uncle and grandmother don't want my daughter to be admitted to fifth house." It is also true in the prince's residence."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Upon hearing this, Han Shu immediately jumped up, his face flushed, pointing to Han Qingxue and said: "You have just been married by the emperor, so you don't look down on your grandmother? How did your grandmother teach you in the past?" , you forgot? How can you be so ungrateful as the concubine of the Fifth Prince?"

These words are a bit serious, and Han Qingxue cried even harder. Mrs. Zhang knelt beside Han Qingxue, raised her head, and said with tears in her eyes: "Whether it is true or not, the master must listen to what Xueer wants to say and say these cruel words Bar."

Then Han Qingxue told the story of being pushed into the water by Han Mingzhu that day, and also about the time when He Yuzhu also went into the water to save her and was rescued by the fifth prince, and also said that Han Zhuo and the old lady had no intention of treating her these days. alienation in.

In the end, Han Qingxue concluded: "Father, it's not that the daughter thinks too much, it's just that the son has been valued by the emperor recently, and it's human nature for the uncle and grandmother to have other thoughts. But if the daughter's marriage is changed like this, then the father will How should we gain a foothold in this house? How do outsiders view our house? And my daughter should be hanged."

Mrs. Zhang looked at Han Shu's expression, and cried, "Mother's birthday has passed, but my sister-in-law always lives in the capital and does not return to Qingzhou. Looking at the capital, which aristocratic woman would be like this? Staring at the people in the fifth prince's house, thinking about my son's good deeds There are plenty of people here. Master, you have always listened to your elder brother and mother, but don't you have any doubts in your heart?"

Han Shu instinctively wanted to refute, but then he thought about his mother and elder brother's hesitation to speak today, and those high-sounding words, and subconsciously thought that mother and elder brother really didn't seem to be as happy and expectant about Han Qingxue's marriage as imagined. .

After all, he and Han Zhuo are blood brothers, and they have been officials together all year round. He knows Han Zhuo's character of being desperate for profit, and Han Si'en has been really favored recently.

Once a person has doubts in his heart, a small picture can become the fuse of this matter.The more Han Shu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Although he didn't say anything, he had deep doubts about Han Zhuo and the old lady in his heart.

Zhang and Han Qingxue on the ground looked at each other calmly, and then hurriedly looked away.

After a long time, Han Qingxue heard Han Shu say: "Don't talk nonsense about these unsubstantiated things in the future. You are now a quasi-princess concubine, you must have the bearing of a concubine, and don't be easily offended by these trivial matters. Your grandmother's place should be the same as in the past, don't make people feel arrogant. As for other things, don't think about what you have. Now, no one can stop my son's glory and wealth. "

After hearing this, Han Qingxue lowered her head and answered yes, then said softly, "My daughter is only saying this in front of her father and mother, and she dares not speak at other times."

Han Shu hummed, squinted his eyes and remained silent.

Regarding Han Shu's attitude, Han Qingxue was very happy in her heart. She knew that her future was the most important thing in his father's heart.

@@

On the second day after Han Qingxue was married, He Yuzhu, the cousin of the house, caught a severe cold. She was so hot that she became confused and talked nonsense.

Han Xiuqiu went to the old lady, took the old lady's post and invited an imperial doctor to see He Yuzhu. The imperial doctor said that she was frightened and caught a cold and did not treat her in time, so she became seriously ill.

Under Han Xiu's suggestion, the old lady thought that He Yuzhu had restrained her temper a lot in the Duke's Mansion these days because of Han Xiu's relationship.She thought she was afraid that people would say that she was hypocritical, and she didn't dare to say that she was uncomfortable.

The old lady was so distressed that she shed tears and asked people to take the medicine according to the doctor's prescription. She also said that no matter who dared to say some stupid words in front of He Yuzhu, the servants of the house would sell them directly.

On the contrary, Han Shu heard the news, and when he greeted the old lady, he said that He Yuzhu always suffers when he comes to the capital, probably because he is not acclimatized, so it is better to go back to Qingzhou to recuperate.

Before Han Shu finished speaking, Han Xiu knelt in front of the old lady's legs and began to cry. He insisted on bringing the sick He Yuzhu back to Qingzhou. He despises himself, perhaps because he was punished by the queen, and the second brother should be afraid of getting involved.

Then Han Shu greeted the old lady's teacup on his forehead, and said "Fuck off".

With a face full of tea leaves, Han Shu left angrily, but he believed in Han Qingxue's words even more in his heart.

It was Han Qingxue who comforted the old lady, and then offered to visit He Yuzhu with all the sisters in the house.The old lady didn't know that Han Qingxue had already had a estrangement from her in her heart, so she took her hand and praised her with tears in her eyes.

Han Qingxue, Han Mingzhu and others came out of the old lady's Wutong Garden and went to visit He Yuzhu.

When they went, He Yuzhu had just taken the medicine and had already fallen asleep.Han Qingxue said to the girl serving He Yuzhu with a smile: "That's unfortunate, since my cousin has already fallen asleep, then when she wakes up, you said that we sisters have come to visit today, and we can come to visit another day." .”

The girl agreed, and Han Qingxue and others left.When they were about to separate in the backyard, Han Qingxue stopped Han Mingzhu and said, "Fourth sister, the scenery in the peach forest is very beautiful today, why don't we go for a walk?"

Seeing this situation, Han Qingyun, the daughter-in-law of the third room, snorted coldly in her heart, and said, "Since the eldest sister didn't invite me, then it's inconvenient for me to join in the fun, so I'll go back first." After finishing speaking, she didn't care what Han Qingxue looked like , turned around and left.

Han Qingxue's complexion was not very good-looking for a moment, she looked at Han Mingzhu whose expression remained unchanged, tried her best to maintain a smile on her face and said, "What do you think, Fourth Sister?"

Han Mingzhu raised her eyes, with bright white teeth, glamorous and dignified, she said calmly, "Of course."

The two went to Taolin hand in hand, the maids they were serving fell far behind, Han Qingxue brushed her hair around her ears, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I was able to be married by the emperor today, thanks to the help of sister Mingzhu that day .”

Han Mingzhu said indifferently: "Elder Sister Mingzhu doesn't understand what she said, Mingzhu didn't help much, it's Eldest Sister herself who is blessed."

"I just want to know, why did you do that?" Han Qingxue ignored Han Mingzhu's indifference, and continued: "Sister Mingzhu got some news and felt sorry for me, so she wanted to help?"

As soon as Han Qingxue said this, Han Mingzhu stopped walking with her

.Han Qingxue was overjoyed, and looked at Han Mingzhu in a blink of an eye, only to see Han Mingzhu was looking at her with eyes that seemed to be smiling but not a smile, those bright and clear eyes seemed to see through the thoughts in her heart, Han Qingxue felt a little embarrassed, couldn't help but Turned his eyes away.

After she closed her eyes, Han Mingzhu said leisurely: "Eldest sister, I don't understand what you said. Eldest sister is probably a little restless these days. She fell into the water and was dazzled. She mistakenly thought I pushed you. I I don’t know what the news is, and I don’t understand what the elder sister said.”

Han Qingxue was silent for a while, and her tone became a little tougher. She said: "If you don't admit it, then forget it. I just don't understand. Since you did this, why did you mess with other people. Sister Mingzhu has always done things neatly. This This kind of behavior is really uncomfortable. I have become a concubine, and you and my sister meet again, with different identities, and you always have to greet me."

Before Han Mingzhu could say anything, he heard a slight sneer. The sneer in that voice was so obvious that Han Qingxue's face was flushed red.

Han Mingzhu watched someone stepping on the branches of the peach forest and coming out from behind a peach tree not far away.

This person is none other than Han Si'en, An Cao followed behind him with her head down, as if I hadn't heard anything.

Compared with Han Mingzhu's magnanimity, Han Qingxue was a little afraid of Han Sien in her heart. She glanced at Han Sien, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was bitter and stiff.

The threat that was not a threat just now seemed particularly ridiculous at the moment, and she felt that she was in a terrible embarrassment at the moment.In this Duke's mansion, Han Si'en is a very weird person, he is not afraid of his own reputation, he seems to only do things for his own pleasure.

The only person in this house who could make him look up a little bit was Han Mingzhu who was beside her.

Han Qingxue was afraid of Han Si'en. After all, she had seen Han Si'en attack He Yuzhu with her own eyes, and directly cut off her hands and wrists with a stick without any scruples. identity.

Han Qingxue didn't think that she held more importance in Han Sien's heart than He Yuzhu, and at this moment she was really afraid that Han Sien would also cripple her own wrist in anger.

Han Sien walked slowly and stopped in front of the two of them. Han Mingzhu called out to him, but he didn't answer, nor did he look at Han Mingzhu.

He raised his eyelids to look at the scenery of Taolin, and then looked at Han Qingxue, his thin lips parted slightly, and his tone was cold, and he said in a very contemptuous tone: "You know? People in this world won't die until they die , There is nothing that absolutely should happen or should not happen. It is a good thing for the emperor to give a marriage, but as a prospective princess, at the moment before becoming a princess, don't say something that is not pleasant. Once it can’t be realized, when you think about it in the future, isn’t it just a joke? After all, if the emperor in this world is unhappy, his own concubine can be deposed, let alone a quasi-imperial concubine.”

After saying this lightly, Han Sien walked away.

He said this not because of Han Mingzhu, but because he was in a very bad mood.In the morning, he just felt that the weather was rare today, so he came to this peach forest to relax, but he didn't expect that there would be a big talker during this break.

Seeing Han Si'en leave, Han Mingzhu said to Han Qingxue whose expression changed drastically, "Mingzhu still has something to do, I'm afraid I don't have time to accompany Eldest Sister today, when Eldest Sister is free, let's meet again at another day."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and chased in the direction Han Sien left.

Han Qingxue was left to look at her and Han Si'en's backs in tandem.

After Han Mingzhu caught up with Han Sien, she called him.Han Si'en turned his head, and Han Mingzhu quickly walked in front of him. Her face was reddish because of her fast walking, and she looked extraordinarily beautiful and beautiful under the sunlight.

Han Mingzhu looked at Han Sien, and whispered cautiously: "Brother, it will be my grandmother's birthday in a few days. Her old man returned to Beijing from the border. She has not been in good health, and she misses her brother very much. You have never met the uncle and aunt in the mansion, if you are free, would you like to meet?"

Han Si'en didn't listen to what Han Mingzhu said, what he said in Han Mingzhu's heart.Then he raised his eyebrows at Han Mingzhu and asked, "When Han Qingxue threatened you just now, you didn't look flustered. Why? She is the future concubine. Do you think your future can compare with her? Or did someone whisper something in your ear?"

Because of these words, Han Mingzhu couldn't help thinking of what Mrs. Wang said to her, and her face became even more rosy.

Speaking of which, after Mrs. Wang returned to Beijing, she began to think about her marriage. Although it was inappropriate to arrange her marriage as a foreigner, fortunately, her marriage was not decided by the Han family.

Later, after knowing that the Han family wanted to use Han Mingzhu's marriage as a demon, Mrs. Wang was very angry, so she accelerated her plan to find a home for Han Mingzhu.

Then Mrs. Wang thought about it, picked and picked, and felt that her own grandchildren were not good enough, and none of them were worthy of Han Mingzhu, so she deliberately matched Han Mingzhu and Ji Luo together.

In the eyes of Mrs. Wang, this is actually not an excellent marriage, after all Ji Luo is the prince.But fortunately, Ji Luo is her grandson, and Han Mingzhu is her granddaughter, both of them are close relatives of hers, so the relationship between them is naturally better than others.

Mrs. Wang hinted at this matter once in front of Han Mingzhu, but she didn't say much, she only said that it needs to be handled carefully.

Han Mingzhu had an exquisite mind, and she guessed eight points.She had met Ji Luo at the Duke's Mansion before, and she didn't feel too repulsed in her heart.

Thinking of this, Han Mingzhu's eyes flashed with embarrassment, and she whispered: "Brother, we are talking about going to pay grandma's birthday, why did you bring up these messy things? I am a daughter's family, how could I have such thoughts?" .”

Han Si'en ignored her, and just warned lightly: "I don't care what you think, but don't make Ji Luo's idea."
