Chapter 680 Designated Candidates
When Yang Rui comes back again, the selection of concubines is almost over. [There are only a few people left outside, so Yang Rui will not be too satisfied with her appearance.
Ning Yuan’s previous communication with Han Jian made him feel anxious. At this time, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked for instructions: “Your Majesty, will you wait for the rest of the show girls to come here before you can select them?”
Yang Rui snorted and asked, "When will the person be sent to the palace?"
Ning Yuan was unsure and couldn't answer. Yang Rui said impatiently: "Well, let's choose from these people first. Then pick a few to show me."
This time, Yang Rui did not name the name himself, but just said casually, "choose a few", and the question of whoever chooses will be difficult to implement. The female official did not dare to act rashly at this time. Yang Rui glared at Han Jian and Ning Yuan and said, "Why didn't the Dongwang and Shangshu Ning choose?"
Ning Yuan looked at Han Jian with a sad face. The talent show girl was not what he should do, so he could only hope Han Jian would help. After all, Han Jian is no longer an outsider, and can be said to be half of the owner of the palace.
"Shangshu Ning, Your Majesty has given me instructions, why don't you hurry up?" Han Jian was also embarrassed by Ning Yuan at this time. Han Jian had long expected Yang Rui's bad temper. Yang Rui's temper has changed recently. He was gentle and virtuous before, but he was cold-eyed and looked as if everyone owed her. As Yang Rui's man, Han Jian asked himself that his patience was relatively high.
This made Ning Yuan suffer. At this time, Ning Yuan could only go to the backyard with Han Jian. There were only a dozen beautiful girls left in the backyard. However, after two hours, these weak and delicate women were no longer able to support them. Instead, there was a woman who seemed very strong and stood there motionless, looking calm and composed.
She looks pretty, but she looks a little rustic and doesn’t have very gorgeous clothes. I guess she is a “filial daughter” sent from the local area, then she may be a woman from ordinary people’s homes.
"This is good, what do you think Ning Shangshu?" Han Jian walked to the woman, looked up and down, and asked at Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "Your Highness thinks it's good. That's good. Hurry up, send the person to His Majesty."
As he said that, he waved his hand to the female official. The female official hurriedly stepped forward and gave instructing her. The woman seemed to not understand very much, so she took the people to Yang Rui directly.
Han Jian looked at the rest of the people, and it was nothing special if he said it was special. He didn't have that kind of natural beauty, nor did he feel that he was so wonderful at first glance. Yang Rui was still angry. She wouldn't be satisfied even if he sent it to her.
"Your Highness won't choose more, I'm afraid your Majesty... it's hard to explain." Ning Yuan said anxiously when he saw that Han Jian had not chosen another person for a long time.
"People value essence but not too much. Shangshu Ning doesn't even understand this principle? No matter how many people choose, your Majesty will only think that we are not sincere and randomly select some people for her to select. It's better to just choose one."
Han Jian said, turning around and walking towards the door of the hall. At this time, Yang Rui had already stood up from the chair. The woman who had just been chosen by Han Jian was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed.
"Nonsai. I don't even know the rules of the store, how can I count on her? Dong Wang, is this the good person you chose?" Yang Rui almost roared at Han Jian when he saw Han Jian coming.
"Is that?" Han Jian's tone was also a little unkind, "It would be better for His Majesty to go out and choose, can there be someone who satisfies His Majesty?"
Yang Rui was angry. He looked at the woman who kept kowtowing and asked, "Say, what's your name?"
"I...my name is He Yu." The woman said.
At this time, Han Jian could already see blood on the ground, which means that the woman was extremely afraid and was shouted by Yang Rui. Even those ladies from the family could not afford it, let alone just a civilian woman?
"Dongwang, let me tell you, what's the good thing about this woman named He Yu? Why did you choose her as the crown princess?" Yang Rui glared at Han Jian and said.
Han Jian said: "Why don't you know if your Majesty chooses a concubine for the crown prince, is there an accurate standard?"
"Of course, there is both virtue and talent!" Yang Rui said.
Han Jian smiled and said, "Then your Majesty has just seen it briefly before. How can you know if the beautiful girl you are looking for is a person with both moral integrity and talent?"
"According to the King of Dong, do you think that He Yu is a person with both virtue and talent?"
Han Jian shook his head slightly and said, "Although I don't know whether she is both virtuous and talented, I know that she is simple and unpretentious. Now the prince needs someone to take care of. If he chooses a lady who cannot support him, it is probably not her who takes care of the prince, but someone else needs to take care of him. But what is His Majesty thinking?"
Yang Rui suddenly fell silent, and it turned out that Han Jian's anger was still angry, and the anger disappeared at this time.
Thinking about Han Jian's words, it makes sense. The reason why she chose Yang Xi was because Yang Xi was mentally weak and needed someone to take care of her. Ordinary palace maids and eunuchs could no longer get Yang Xi's trust. Perhaps only Yang Xi's closest people could have such effects. Yang Xi is old now, and she can no longer take care of her as a sister like Yang Xi did when she was a child. This requires finding a woman for Yang Xi. Even if she is a lady from a family, she is not very good at taking care of others, and may also need other people's care in some details of life.
But thinking that He Yu is just an ordinary woman and has no family background behind her is also a bit unacceptable. After all, she also wants to cultivate a "father-in-law" with background for Yang Xi through this marriage, and use this to check and balance with the Dongwang Mansion.
Yang Rui was silent for a long time, and was considering it for a while before saying: "Since that's the case, send someone to the Eastern Palace and take good care of the prince's daily life."
The woman knelt on the ground, not knowing what Yang Rui said to her. Han Jian said, "Your Majesty has a life, but you can't get up and thank you."
The woman then continued to kowtow and thanked her. Yang Rui sighed. Obviously, this woman could not satisfy her. She did not say that she was the prince's concubine chosen for Yang Xi, but just said that she would send someone to take care of Yang Xi. Obviously, she just regarded it as a stopgap solution and chose someone else when she turned back.
The person was sent away by the female official, and Ning Yuan stood aside in disappointment and didn't know how to face Han Jian and Yang Rui who were in power in the court.
Yang Rui waved his hand and said, "Today, I will give up. Those who have not been selected will send money to their homes. Those who come from the local area can live in Luoyang and return to their hometowns."
"Yes, yes." Ning Yuan replied twice, and then ordered someone to send the remaining girls out of the palace.
There was busy outside. Han Jian and Yang Rui finally deliberately got along alone. However, Han Jian never spoke.
Yang Rui entered the hall gate, looked at Han Jian, and said, "Honey, did you say offense before you blame me?"
How could Han Jian not know that Yang Rui was unwilling to be willing to do so and wanted to continue to establish her prestige in front of court officials? Since others learned that Yang Rui was pregnant with the flesh and blood of the East Prince Mansion, Yang Rui's reputation was also falling sharply. Everyone felt that the East Prince Mansion not only dominated the military and political power. Even as the queen, Yang Rui, was occupied, and the Yang family's foundation was already in name only. Even if Yang Rui didn't care, she was still concerned about the Yang royal family. In addition, some unpleasant things happened when the beautiful girl entered the palace, all these things made her extremely bad attitude towards Han Jian in front of others.
Although he knew it in his heart, Han Jian still didn't want to say anything. Some things were in vain.
Yang Rui sighed and said, "Even if your husband is angry, I have to say that the matter of selecting a girl hastily was really a matter of not being attentive to the people who do things! I am angry. It is not that I am grateful to you, but I hope you understand."
Han Jian thought, Yang Rui was clearly exonerating himself. He still insisted on explaining what was clear at a glance, so explaining would make him relieved?
"Oh, so that's it." Han Jian replied coldly.
Yang Rui said: "I am a little tired, so I have to work hard with my husband, and then came out to blow the cold wind. I feel a little uncomfortable, so I will go back to the bedroom to rest. My husband has nothing else to say. You can also leave the palace and get up and not see him off."
Since Han Jian entered the palace, when did Yang Rui send him out? Even if he thought, how could Yang Rui do the job of sending him to the minister as an emperor? Yang Rui said this and wanted to send him away.
However, the two of them had just gotten into darkness in Ye'an Pavilion. The problem was already explained, but now Yang Rui is not used to the feeling of being a woman in front of others, and it is inevitable that he is a little cold towards him.
Han Jian said goodbye to Yang Rui and left the palace. Ning Yuan was still anxious to wait at the palace gate.
"Your Highness, have you come out? Can you tell me, what should I do now?" Ning Yuan greeted the front with an anxious look.
Han Jian said angrily: "Shangshu Ning is the Minister of Personnel. Do you need to worry so much about these things?"
Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was no longer the chief minister. Even if Yang Rui was angry just now, it seemed that he was not targeting him alone. Han Jian patted his shoulder and said, "You are a hero in the matter of choosing a concubine. You should be anxious and afraid. You should be the Luoyang family who are both in secret. Shangshu Ning might as well think about how to settle accounts with them. Don't worry, no matter what decisions Shangshu made, Your Majesty and I will support you."
Ning Yuan smiled bitterly. He had already done something about asking each family to send off his daughter. Now Han Jian even asked him to come forward to punish these families. Isn't this pushing him into the fire pit?
Han Jian didn't say much and went on the horse and left. Ning Yuan sighed and could only wait for Gu Weipan and others to come out before discussing with Gu Weipan.
...
...
When she returned to the Dongwang Mansion, Yang Ronger was reading a book alone in front of the bed, looking a little lazy.
Seeing Han Jian coming back, Yang Ronger stood up to greet him, but said in surprise: "Honeyone is back from the palace?"
"Yes." Han Jian nodded, sat down and poured tea himself.
Yang Ronger said, "When will I enter the palace?"
Han Jian thought about it and it seemed that Yang Rui didn't mention this matter anymore. He originally asked Yang Ronger to enter the palace, but now Yang Rui is already satisfied and is about to rest. Can't Yang Ronger enter the palace be disturbed?
"Uh...Xin'er, Your Majesty has had some unhappiness about choosing the Crown Princess. Maybe he won't send someone to invite you into the palace today." Han Jian said.
Yang Ronger sat down on the round stool and said a little discouraged: "If I had known Xier would have asked me to take her here today. My second mother asked someone to take Xier away before, and she thought she would go into the palace."
Han Jian smiled and said, "I'm afraid that if I want someone now, I won't be back."
"It's all your fault!" Yang Ronger pinched Han Jian like a child's temper and said, "If my husband hadn't said yesterday that my sister would let me enter the palace today, why would Xier not be by her now?"
Now Yang Ronger is a mother and is dedicated to taking care of her children and is not very concerned about anything else.
Han Jian smiled and said, "Now that I am by my husband, you are still thinking about Xi'er. You really deserve to be punished. Isn't this sad for your husband?"
Only then did Yang Ronger think that she forgot to think about Han Jian, and said apologized: "Don't misunderstand me, my husband is actually... I just checked it out when I came back and notified me. It wasn't that I was staying at home for a long time, I was just a heartless statement."
"Who said that I came back for my husband just to see you?" Han Jian said with a straight face, "Isn't you going to the couch yet, and I'm waiting for my husband to punish you?"
Yang Ronger looked shy, as if she had returned to the carefree time when she first met Han Jian.
The two of them were making trouble between the bed for a long time. Yang Ronger came out of Han Jian's arms, but he bit Han Jian's shoulder and said, "My husband went to the palace to accompany his sister, but he came back to do whatever he wanted to say that the husband should be punished."
Han Jian was a little embarrassed, and some facts were so unconcealed by the person next to him.
Yesterday, Ning Shun'er was dark with Yang Ruihu today. It was less than two hours later, so why was she still so interested? After all, Yang Ronger is no longer a girl who is ignorant of the charm, and she also knows a lot about Han Jian. When did Han Jian make a perfunctory excuses, she still doesn't understand?
"Xin'er, you know there are some things I really can't refuse." Han Jian smiled awkwardly.
Yang Ronger, however, gave Han Jian a charming look and said, "Next time my husband comes here, don't do this. I still want to give Xier a younger brother and sister. If my husband does this again, I will close the door and not let him in."
"Cistan you can bear it?" Han Jian said with a smile.
Yang Ronger continued to pinch her hands in Han Jian's arms, but she didn't try very hard. After a long time, she leaned into Han Jian's arms and fell asleep.
Han Jian was not in a hurry to leave. Anyway, the New Year is approaching, and things in the north have basically calmed down. He could calm down for a while. But at this moment, footsteps came from outside the door. I carefully identified that it was Han Song's coming.
"Jian'er, I heard from the servant that you came over when you came back, but was there?" Han Song's voice came from outside.
Yang Ronger woke up in Han Jian's arms, as if she was only frightened. Han Jian comforted her for a little while and asked her to continue to rest. Then she got up and dressed at the door and opened the door.
"Look at you, it's a bit unreasonable. It's sunny and sunny now. Why... Oh, I'll tell you something, your Jiu Niang said she was coming to Luoyang and asked you to discuss something." Han Song saw Han Jian's disheveled look, but he turned his face to the side and said.
"Jiu Niang came to Luoyang? When did it happen? Why didn't you hear the news before?"
"The news that has just arrived is not asking you to discuss it?" Han Song said, "I haven't sorted it out yet, and I'm talking to you in the past? I'm the same with Jizun. I don't know how to advise you, I'm just messing around with you!" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better and faster!
