On February 16th, Han Jian worked hard for a day, not only to be busy with the military camp, but also to be busy with the affairs of the court.⊕All things that were supposed to be handled by Yang Rui were here, but not much, but they also made him anxious all afternoon.

At sunset and dusk, Han Jian couldn't help but want to go to the palace again, but he knew that Yang Rui would not return to the bedroom at this time. Yang Rui had already made an explanation before. When she was thinking about these days behind closed doors, she would not only not meet the court officials, but also spend the night in the Taimiao. Han Jian believed that with Yang Rui's rigorous temperament, she would not act like a fool with him in the Taimiao.

The newlyweds are about to separate in a short time, and Han Jian is still not used to it, but he will be in a better mood when he thinks that Gu Xiner and Wener are coming to Luoyang soon.

After finishing his work, Han Jian calmed down and returned to the Eastern Prince's Mansion. Han Zhao was not there. The servant said that he had gone to the military camp, while Yang Ronger was packing things in the inner courtyard, and seemed to be embroidering something.

"Have you prepared things for the child so early?" Han Jian saw Yang Xun'er's concentration and didn't even pay attention to entering the door, so he couldn't help but smile and joke.

"Ah!" Yang Ronger's hands trembled and said dissatisfied, "I'm scared to death. Why is my husband not making any sound when he walks?"

As he said that, he put down the embroidery and said, "It's not that time yet. I just want to embroider something for my sister Xin'er. She will come tomorrow. I don't know how to face her."

Yang Xun'er and Gu Xin'er were almost at the same time, but they had little communication with each other. Originally, Gu Xin'er was more favored, but he was the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty and was unanimously recognized by the whole king of the Eastern Palace. But Gu Xin'er was just a weak woman. Han Jian wanted to lead troops to fight, so naturally he could not bring her by his side. Therefore, even if he passed by with Yang Xun'er, he was neglected a lot.

Han Jian also felt a little guilty to Gu Xiner, thinking that he had been married to Gu Xiner for only more than a year, but he was separated for more than half a year. Now Yang Ronger is pregnant first, which is not fair to Gu Xiner.

"Xin'er should be able to understand." Han Jian sighed and said.

Yang Ronger and Han Jian glanced at him and said, "I'm afraid my husband missed Xin'er's sister too? Xin'er is so gentle and generous, and she doesn't know anything like that. It's much better than me."

Han Jian heard a strong jealousy from this sentence, but he also knew that Yang Xun'er was just showing off. In fact, Yang Xun'er was also kind-hearted, and she was just treating her jealousy as the joy of the boudoir. She never brought this emotion outside, especially for Gu Xin'er to see her.

Han Jian smiled and said, "Okay, although I will stay with Xin'er for a longer time these days, I will not neglect you. Who told us that our husband and wife are deeply in love?"

Yang Ronger snorted softly, "Young Master should keep this kind of thing and coax my sister Xiner. After listening for a long time, I know how perfunctory my husband is to say this."

Han Jian smiled and didn't say anything more. When he finished his meal, he couldn't help but think of Yang Rui in the palace. I wonder if she was safe alone in the Taimiao.

...

...

On the morning of the next day, Han Jian was still listening to the following report at the military office, and learned two news, one was that Lin Zhan had returned to the outside of Luoyang City from north of the Yellow River. He was about to enter the city to report his work, and on the other side, the carriages from the Eastern Prince's Mansion to Luoyang had arrived outside of Luoyang City, and would also enter the city between noon.

At the same time, people from both sides asked him to see him, and Han Jian was very embarrassed. On the one hand, it was business and on the other hand, Han Jian thought about it and still wanted to be the first.

Han Jian first brought some important military personnel to the north of the city to personally welcome the returned generals. This time, Lin Zhan's troops won a great victory. Although they did not further expand the victory, they also completely pacified the surrounding areas of Luoyang, making Luoyang's defense more stable.

Outside the north city gate, Lin Zhan arrived at the city gate with a few generals and entourages. He personally got off the horse and hiked Han Jian.

The whole atmosphere was still very grand. Han Jian stepped forward to help Lin Zhan up. After more than half a year of battle, Lin Zhan was more like a general, and he looked quite heroic when walking.

"Brother Lin, I haven't seen each other for a long time. Today should be drunk until I finish it." Han Jian said with a smile.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Lin Zhan was still very low-key in front of Han Jian, and smiled, "Don't drink in the army. How can I, the head coach, easily violate the ban?"

Han Jian smiled and walked through the city gate, then got on the horse with Lin Zhan to enter the city.

Arriving at the military office, Lin Zhan carefully reported the situation of the war in recent times, mainly the situation of some prefectures and counties in northern Luoyang. After Lin Zhan took the troops and horses, he basically maintained the unchanged local administrative system and replaced the original local guards, but the personnel of the administrative system did not change. This was basically explained by the Dongwangfu, which was to maintain a smooth transition of local power.

Finally, Han Jian said: "General Lin has made contributions to pacifying the place this time. I will draft a memorial to ask Your Majesty for advice and ask for rewards for General Lin and his generals. General Lin also went to the arranged residence to rest earlier and could return to the army tomorrow."

Lin Zhan obviously seemed to have something to ask. He had heard about Zhang Xing before, and Zhang Xing was dismissed as a hint, but Han Jian knew that Lin Zhan still had questions about the future garrison in Luoyang.

Han Jian asked the army to retreat to Jiangdu this time mainly to appease the army's thoughts of returning home, but Luoyang always needs Jiangdu troops to guard it. Now Zhang Xing's troops must withdraw the entire army, so Luoyang's defense must have Lin Zhan's troops take over. However, Han Jian did not mention this matter at the meeting to welcome him, which made Lin Zhan a little confused.

Han Jian did not say it deliberately, and he did not want to create hostility between Lin Zhan's troops and Zhang Xing's troops as soon as he came up.

Now the acting coach of Zhang Xing's army is veteran Liu She. Han Jian knows that Liu She and Lin Zhan have no friendship, so he will talk directly about the transfer issue at this time, which will be very sensitive.

Han Jian didn't say anything, and Lin Zhan knew that there were some things he shouldn't ask, so he took the generals back to rest. Han Jian also had time to go back to the East Prince's Mansion to meet the East Prince's Mansion and his party.

This time, thousands of soldiers and horses were escorted by the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and among the people entering the city were mainly Han Cui, Gu Xiner and Wener.

As soon as Han Jian arrived at the door, he saw several familiar guards, all of whom were in charge of the Dongwang Mansion. Although these people were not Han Jian’s family, they were also like family members in the Dongwang Mansion, and they were very familiar with each other. When they saw Han Jian, they all came up to salute and greet each other.

"You are tired on the road, have a good rest." Han Jian said with a smile.

The guards all entered the door with a smile. As soon as they entered the door, Han Jian saw Han Cui coming towards him.

"Everyone said where you went, and you still want to go to the military office to find you, so here we come." Han Cui came forward and said with a smile on his face.

Han Jian smiled and said, "Previously, General Lin returned to Luoyang and went out of the city to greet him. He didn't have time to greet Sanniang, so please don't be surprised."

"I haven't seen each other for a few days, and I've been talking about it. When did you apologize in front of Sanniang before? Let's see who Sanniang brought it?"

As he said that, Han Cui took Han Jian's hand and walked towards the main hall without any hesitation. Before he could reach the entrance of the main hall, Gu Xin'er and Wen'er had already come out, and Yang Rong'er was also standing at the door. It was obvious that Yang Rong'er was responsible for entertaining the family just now.

"Young Master..." Wen'er's legs and feet were the most flexible. When she saw Han Jian without saying a word, she rushed over and crawled into Han Jian's arms, burying her head deeply in Han Jian's arms and unable to come out. Gu Xin'er could maintain more restraint, but she was also standing at the door, staring at Han Jian with affection, but tears were rolling in her eyes, and even her eyes were particularly brighter.

"Xin'er, Wen'er." Han Jian called out with a smile, and reached out to bring Gu Xin'er into his arms. Gu Xin'er could no longer hold it back and tears burst out from her eyes.

Han Cuishi, who was standing beside him, said, "Looking at you young people, you don't know how shy you are. This public hugs you, how can you be so kind? When you return to your room, you still have a lot of time for you."

Gu Xin'er and Wen'er were reluctant to leave Han Jian's arms. Han Jian smiled and said, "Sanniang is jealous of me, no one is hugging me, right?"

Han Cui spat and cursed, "Okay, you guys, you're here to get fun. Sanniang isn't here alone this time. Your concubines are here too, aren't you afraid that they will beat you?"

Only then did Han Jian go over to salute several concubines. In addition to Han Song, who wanted to stay in Jiangdu, the whole family arrived almost at the same time.

After the ceremony, the family had fun games. Han Cui asked: "Jian'er, your Jiu Niang entered the city yesterday, why didn't she see her?"

Han Jian glanced at Gu Xiner and others, because he didn't want to worry more about the family because he had to talk about some military affairs.

"Xin'er, take the aunts to see the room first, and then take Xin'er and Wen'er to the cleaned room. I have something to say to Sanniang." Han Jian said.

"Yes, my husband." Xun'er Pingting stood up, saluted first, and then accompanied the family out of the main hall.

"Does Sanniang know about Zhang Xing?" Han Jian asked.

Han Cui sighed and said, "It's true, I can't believe it after hearing it before."

Han Jian said: ‘This time I didn’t expect that Guard Zhang would make accomplices for the tiger, but fortunately he stopped the horse in time and did not cause much impact. Now Luoyang’s defense is still stable, but something may happen at any time. After Jiu Niang entered the city, she kept walking on both the military camp and the East Prince’s Mansion, setting up some things.”

Han Cui nodded and said, "This time I came with your Jiuniang. It was your second wife who felt that we could give you advice on the march. Besides, the army was about to return to Jiangdu. At that time, I will be the only one in your Jiuniang and I will be responsible for leading the troops back, so you can rest your heart in your stomach."

Han Jian stood up with a smile and said, "Let's go, Sanniang, I'll send you to rest."

"No, no, no," Han Cui stood up and smiled, "You kid, it's better to go back to accompany Xin'er and Wen'er earlier. These days, they often see two girls crying in tears. If you don't treat them well, your second mother and I will not spare you."

Han Jian smiled, but he didn't go against Han Cui.
