Chapter 402 The state banquet is a family banquet

Although Han Jian claims to be a master in love, he still cannot understand women's hearts. Or rather, he cannot understand every woman's hearts.

The heart is full of flesh, and everyone's minds are different and at all times. Han Jian can only guess a woman's mind based on a general direction, but he cannot fully understand everything.

For example, he couldn't understand Yang Ronger's self-comfortable mentality.

"Xin'er, you are actually my wife, and the Ming media married me. In the Eastern Prince's Mansion, who dares to treat you as a concubine?" Han Jian sighed.

"Come on," Yang Ronger said a little annoyed, "Who do you think of me as a concubine? In their eyes, you are the gentle, quiet, generous and decent Miss Gu, and you have never been the second lady of the Nanwang Mansion who is treacherous and cunning."

Han Jian heard the jealousy from this sentence, and quickly stepped forward to take Yang Xing'er's hand and comforted her. Yang Xing'er suddenly smiled sly again and said, "Okay, I won't bully you anymore. You can do it if you know you are kind to me. I marry you to my husband, not to your aunt. I keep the door closed on weekdays, so I don't care what others think."

Han Jian shook his head helplessly. He originally thought that Yang Ronger was a little autistic, which was not good. But now, this extreme personality is also beneficial, which is to live his own life without caring about other people's cold words.

Han Jian also knew very well that although Han Song and others were still maintaining a "neutral" mentality, there were indeed many unfair things to Yang Xun'er. Indeed, Gu Xin'er did a lot of good job in front of others, so good that no one could tell her faults. Yang Xun'er seemed much willful. It was her own question, but it was also a difference between the two. After all, Yang Xun'er didn't like to be wronged and cater to others, while Gu Xin'er was centered on him. Even if she was wronged, she seemed very happy.

Soon it was almost dusk when Han Jiangang and Yang Ronger, who had been dressed in brocade clothes, came out. Someone informed him that the queen had sent a group of women over. The carriage had reached the door.

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Han Song looked at Han Jian and said with confusion.

Han Jian took the imperial order given to the queen, put it directly into his arms, and said, "It's said it's a reward. Just get the person close first."

"Your Majesty is really that way." Han Cui came in from outside and said. "I give so many women to Jianer. Do you think there are fewer women in our Dongwang Mansion? The yin is strong and the yang is weak enough? Oh, is Jimbun coming?"

When Yang Ronger saw Han Cui, she hurriedly bowed and greeted her.

"No need to be too polite. Jian'er. So are you. Take Cistan'er over, and why don't you hurry up and pick Xin'er up, Xin'er is waiting." Han Cui immediately began to urge Han Jian again.

Han Jianxin said that when Han Cui expressed his friendship with Yang Xun'er, he also did not forget to remind Yang Xun'er who is the "righteous master" of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. What did Yang Xun'er think? Didn't he feel that he was "neglected" again?

"People outside..." Han Jian pointed to the direction of the main entrance of the East Prince's Mansion.

"I have asked someone to pick me up. I also looked at it. They were all girls of thirteen or fourteen years old, and their appearance was quite distinct. Are they sent from Jiangnan Tower to His Majesty's bedroom today?" Han Cui had known about the sealed Jiangnan Tower before. She was not very clear about the details. She only knew that Jiangdu yamen began to rectify the brothel Chu Pavilion in Jiangdu, and she was still busy.

"Probably," Han Jian said casually, then went into the inner courtyard and picked up Gu Xiner and Wener who were eagerly looking forward to his arrival.

When Han Jian and Gu Xiner arrived at the main hall, Han Jian's other concubines also came out in a verbal manner. Han Jian heard Han Xu's voice from afar. Among his concubines, Han Xu also had the longest mouth and sometimes spoke very tricky and mean.

As soon as Han Jian took Gu Xiner out, Han Xu took Gu Xiner's hand and kept talking, as if he was teaching some experience, but Han Jian knew that in some aspects, Han Xu was inexperienced at all. She just told Gu Xiner based on some things she heard, which made Gu Xiner feel embarrassed and kept asking for help from Han Jian with her eyes.

At this time, Han Jian became more and more clones to "save" her because he was also annoyed by Han Song.

"Jian'er, the women outside are all given to you by His Majesty. There are more than a dozen people. What are you going to do about it?" Han Song asked with some concern.

"What do you mean by Er Niang?"

Han Song sighed: "Your Majesty gives his ministers and women, which is considered your majesty's favor, but Your Majesty doesn't know what he thinks. He will give you so much at once, and you won't be able to receive it, and you won't be able to not receive it. Isn't this a embarrassment for Er Niang?"

"Second Mother, why not ask someone to teach these women the rules first, and then send them back to His Majesty and be a palace maid for His Majesty." Han Jian said suddenly.

"Palace maids? There is no shortage of palace maids in the palace of His Majesty." Han Song said.

"Your Majesty has just returned and there is no one around you. Why don't you lend flowers to offer Buddha? Your Majesty sends it here and we will send it back again. What do you think Er Niang?"

Han Song thought for a while and nodded, "It would be better to turn around and ask His Majesty for instructions."

Han Jian didn't say anything, and he was not unclear about Han Song's approaching the empress. However, as he grew older, Han Song obviously stood on his side in the face of power. After all, he was a woman and knew who his heart should be on. After more than ten years, Han Jian was cultivated. It was just when Han Jian was waiting for Han Jian to "fulfil his filial piety" that he would be in a dilemma with his second half of his life. Therefore, Han Song and Han Cui were obviously alienating the empress after the empress returned.

When the people outside had settled all the women sent by the queen. Before sunset was yet to come, the Dongwang Mansion sent a sedan chair to pick up Gu Weipan's family.

Gu Xiner's parents, Gu Weipan and Gu Song, got off the sedan chair, while Han Jian and Han Song came to the door in person.

Originally, Han Jian thought that Gu Weipan would bring his concubine and son together. Maybe Gu Weipan still felt that his concubine was just an ordinary person and could not be on the table, so he just brought Gu Song alone.

As the Eastern Princess, Gu Xiner is not suitable for going out to greet her. She just waited inside. When Han Jian general Gu Weipan and his wife came inside, Gu Xiner came to support Gu Song, and Gu Song also held his daughter's hand and kept talking.

After sunset, the empress's carriage arrived late. More than a hundred guards were sent to protect the East Prince's Mansion. Although it was already very low-key along the way, the empress's itinerary was hindered by the onlookers and the road.

The Eastern Prince's Mansion and Gu Weipan personally welcomed the queen. The empress came down from the imperial carriage. The first thing she did was to glar at Han Jian first, which made everyone present confused.

"Your Majesty has worked hard all the way." Han Jian bowed and said.

"How could I work hard? Thank you for your hard work in the East." The Queen Buyin Buyang said.

Everyone present looked at each other, for some reason the queen was so angry when she arrived.

Han Jian seemed very respectful, pretending not to know anything, and accompanied the queen to the East Prince's Mansion.

The Dongwang Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful colors, as festive as the New Year. When we arrived in the main hall, a large table was ready, enough for more than 20 people to eat around the table at the same time.

"Dongwang, your preparation is quite sufficient." The queen entered the main hall, looked at the huge table, and said.

Han Jian smiled and said, "The East Prince's Mansion is already crowded, so your grandfather will naturally have a place."

Han Jian's words were puns, as if reminding the queen that if you enter the door, there would be your place.

Others don’t know the “festival” between Han Jian and the Queen, so they naturally don’t understand this meaning, but the Queen is as clear as a mirror. When she hears it, she knows that Han Jian is “striking back”. At this time, it’s a public place, she can’t scold Han Jian casually, and she doesn’t want to let the matter be found out for outsiders.

"Your Majesty, please sit down." Han Jian said with a smile.

The queen walked over and sat in the head. Originally, Han Jian and Gu Weipan, the current Wei Dynasty ministers, should have sat on both sides of the queen.

But this is not a court banquet after all, and eating around a round table. A man sitting next to the queen is unconventional.

So Han Jian and Gu Weipan had to change their positions, with Han Song and Han Cui accompanying the queen. Next to Han Jian were Gu Xiner and Yang Ronger. Wen'er, who was shrinking into a ball like a little rat, sat next to Gu Xiner with her head cat, and she kept trying to let others not look at her, but Gu Song on the opposite side looked at her and refused to let go.

Gu Xin'er had already told Gu Song about her relationship with Wen'er. The two were "good sisters", and Wen'er, as Gu Xin'er's personal maid, helped Gu Xin'er to be favored. In this way, Gu Song was very interested in this "helper" of her daughter.

The more Gu Song saw, the lower Wen'er's head lowered. She was already very timid when she attended the family banquet. Now that the queen is next to her, she feels even more guilty.

"Send the meal." When the queen comes, serving food cannot be called serving food. Everything must be followed by the rules of the palace.

The dazzling array of dishes was constantly served, and the queen's attitude was appropriate. However, Han Jian looked at the queen from time to time, thinking about the lunch meal, and thought about what kind of artistic conception it would be if he and the queen had eaten this meal.

It's just a candlelight dinner or a big meal.

"Your Majesty, the food in the East Prince's Mansion is simple and simple. Please don't dislike him." Han Jian bowed.

"Your Highness is so polite. You can prepare such a vegetarian table for me, so you are willing to do so." The queen sighed with a little emotion.

Because it is no secret that the Queen believes in Buddhism, this meal can no longer be like big fish and meat, which is obviously disrespectful to the Queen.

However, those who believe in Buddhism may not need to eat vegetarian food every day. Han Jian is very clear about this principle. If the queen eats such a meal every time, it means that the queen is not far from becoming a monk.

So Han Jian was very bad at asking the servants to cook some dishes in "lard" when preparing food, pretending that they didn't know, but they meant to tell the queen that you want to become a monk, but there is no way!

He believed that with the Queen's tricky tongue, he would definitely find the alternative in the dish. He just wanted to see if the Queen was furious in front of so many people, or was reluctant to speak, or how to "teach him a lesson" (to be continued.
