Chapter 672: The Crown Prince's Choice of Concubine (I)

Yang Xi's return made the already calm Luoyang form suddenly tense again. Although Yang Xi has just returned to the court in the name of the crown prince in the real sense, many people have begun to take sides. Yang Xi was the target that some royalist ministers originally relied on again, and now even the emperor has to marry the Eastern Palace, and in their position, it seems that they can only support Yang Xi to achieve the purpose of confrontation with the Eastern Palace.

As for the Dongwang Mansion, even if Han Jian wanted to ignore this matter, he couldn't do it.

Han Song was very dissatisfied with Han Jian's welcome back to Yang Xi, and summoned some advisers from the Eastern Prince's Mansion overnight to discuss countermeasures. In order not to make Han Jian feel that she was authoritarian, this time she only summoned strategists, and no important generals with real military power in hand. But even so, these strategists are basically the brains of various armies, and they themselves have a great influence on the army. Han Song wanted to use this method to send a signal, even if she was not the big boss of the Dongwang Mansion now, she could still influence the army.

Han Jian believed that when the palace heard the news, he would also be on guard.

In the past few days, Han Jian entered the palace several times a day, mainly to check Yang Rui's injuries. Yang Rui's injuries healed quickly, which was related to her martial arts practice, even if she was weak as she said, she still had a certain advantage in recuperating her injuries. Now that Yang Xi is back, Han Jian can't enter the palace too much, and Han Jian has another problem to face, before Yang Xi really manages the dynasty, he can't see Yang Xi too much, which also involves political problems. is the relationship between him and Yang ∫ ♀ Xi.

Seeing the nineteenth month of the lunar month, it has been more than half a month for Yang Xi to return to the court, originally Han Jian hoped that Yang Xi would come out to preside over the government soon, but obviously Yang Xi has not yet come out of the shadow of the trip to Southern Qi. Under the pretext of recuperation, Yang Xi stayed in his residence for more than half a month, and Han Jian also went to visit. It can also be seen that Yang Xi's spirit is very sluggish, and he doesn't look like the optimistic young boy at all, but like a worrying woman, except for sighing and sighing, she is hiding in one place and crying goose.

After half a month, Yang Rui's injuries have basically healed, and Yang Rui has been able to get off the sickbed. Although he still needs help to walk, he has no problem talking.

"I'm going to see Xi'er." On this day, when Han Jian entered the dormitory, Yang Rui directly proposed it and asked Hui'er to help her go to Yang Xi's residence to have a look.

Han Jian looked at Yang Rui's current state, Yang Rui's stomach had begun to bulge slightly, although it was a patient's wide robe that was basically hidden, but after all, Yang Rui was not only an injured person now, but also a pregnant woman, from the dormitory to Yang Xi's residence in the side hall. There is a long way to go, and Yang Rui may not be able to support it.

"Doesn't the prince come over every day to say hello these days?" Han Jian didn't say yes or no, just asked.

"So what? When my sister goes to see my brother, does she have to get your permission? Yang Rui glared at Han Jian, and his tone was much colder, although Han Jian often took care of him in front of the sickbed these days, he couldn't get Yang Rui's good face, Han Jian guessed that Yang Rui had always hated him for his "ruthlessness" that day. However, Yang Rui will also be grateful for Yang Xi's return. Now Yang Rui himself is also very conflicted, and he wants to be angry with Han Jian, but sometimes he can't get angry, but he can only put on a face to show Han Jian, so that Han Jian feels that she is very angry.

"If you want to see, wouldn't it be better to just send someone to spread the word?" Han Jian said.

Yang Rui said impatiently: "I'll go and see what Xi'er lacks." Can't live a good life? He is in the palace these days, if something happens, I, as a sister, don't take care of it, and I always feel guilty in my heart. ”

Han Jian shook his head helplessly, unable to stop Yang Rui from going. can only be with Yang Rui. However, he can't walk, because Yang Rui's injury is not yet good, and if there is any accident halfway, he may have to lie on the bed for more than half a month, which is really unwise.

Han Jian asked Hui'er to go out to inform the palace people, and asked him to prepare a small sedan chair to come over and find someone to carry Yang Rui. Yang Rui was dissatisfied: "Do you see me as a sick seedling, and you can't walk a few steps?" ”

Yang Rui in front of him is indeed a sick man, not to mention walking a long way, it is very difficult to go out by herself, and she can't do anything without Hui'er taking care of her.

"Then I'll carry you over?" Han Jian suddenly asked.

"What did you say?" Yang Rui glared at Han Jian, as if he had heard a great joke.

Han Jian smiled and said, "Don't think about it, anyway, you are the emperor, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with letting the courtiers carry it when you are ill." ”

It's all wrong to say it, but after all, there is a difference between men and women, but now that the relationship between Han Jian and Yang Rui has been announced to the world, even Yang Rui's pregnancy is no longer a secret, even if there is a difference between men and women, Han Jian will not be surprised if Yang Rui is seen by others. Who calls them de facto husband and wife and nominally not?

"Okay, you carry me!" Yang Rui finally looked at Han Jian coldly.

Han Jianxin said that this is asking for hardship, but it is not a big deal to carry Yang Rui, and he has never done this kind of thing of "declaring sovereignty" in public.

When Yang Rui was picked up by him, Han Jianxin said that Yang Rui was really not light, maybe it was because Yang Rui was recuperating from his injuries and lack of exercise these days, and because he was a little fatter when he was pregnant, it would be very difficult for Han Jian to carry Yang Rui on his back if he didn't raise his breath. But after all, Han Jian also knew how to save effort, and after going out with Yang Rui on his back, he also felt much lighter.

Han Jian carried Yang Rui on his back in front, followed by Hui'er serving, and saw a lot of palace maids and eunuchs along the way, and even palace guards. It seemed strange to them that the Empress was carried out by a man.

Outside the palace where Yang Xi lived, Yang Rui pushed Han Jian's back and said, "Let me go." ”

"Hmm...... Well? ”

"I don't want Xi'er to see it, you let me go quickly!" Yang Rui saw Han Jian continue to walk, and couldn't help but say impatiently.

"It's a nuisance." Han Jian complained and put her down, Yang Rui tidied up his clothes, but his face was not as cold as just now, just now Han Jian carefully carried her over, and she could feel the thoughtfulness along the way, although Han Jian's tone of voice was also a little-for-tat, but it was also a bit of a quarrel between young couples, fighting at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed.

Han Jian helped Yang Rui inside, and the hall was empty. Han Jian knew that Yang Xi was very withdrawn these days, as if he didn't want to be disturbed, and he would feel very scared when there were people around him, so those palace people wouldn't even show up when they weren't eating or sleeping, so as not to make Yang Xi excited.

Yang Rui didn't know about this stubble, she looked around. "What about people? Don't even have a waiter? ”

"It's not that no one is waiting, it's that the prince won't let people come." Han Jian sighed.

"Huh?"

Yang Rui was puzzled and went inside, but saw Yang Xi sitting on the ground alone in a daze, looking at the position of the window with very empty eyes, as if there was something terrible on the window.

"Xi'er, what are you doing?" When Yang Rui saw this scene, he couldn't help but step forward to help, "It's so cold on the ground, aren't you afraid of getting sick?" ”

"Sister?" Yang Xi turned his head to look at Yang Rui with a somewhat puzzled expression. but did not rise from the ground.

"Prince, Your Majesty has come to visit you." Han Jian said with a smile on the side.

Yang Xi got up and came up to help.

Yang Rui said angrily: "Xi'er, why are you sitting on the ground?" Or is someone treating you badly? ”

"Disadvantage?"

Yang Xi reacted, and didn't realize that the "someone" in Yang Rui's mouth was Han Jian, he just shook his head slightly and said, "Sit on the ground, I'm ...... Feel grounded. ”

Han Jian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this was a lack of security. It is also the sequelae of being a proton. After more than two years as a prisoner, he also encountered some inhuman abuse. Originally, a small flower in a greenhouse has withered, and some people may have an extreme personality, but a person like Yang Xi, who is pure in nature, is a little confused, because he doesn't know what he can do after regaining his freedom.

"I'm coming to see you." Yang Rui looked at Yang Xi distressedly, and couldn't help but say with some sadness on his face. "You can't pick yourself up again, my sister is worried."

Yang Xi lowered his head, the whole person looked a little nonsensical, he didn't know what he was doing, he seemed to be in a half-crazy state.

"Come out early and do something. At most, let the East King ...... I'm helping you some. Yang Rui added.

Yang Xi shook his head and said, "I won't do anything, so I still don't have to...... Brother-in-law helped. ”

Yang Rui was also slightly stunned when he heard the title of "brother-in-law", Yang Xi was very natural when he said this, as if it was natural to call Han Jian like this. But for Yang Rui, it was unnatural to hear this title. Because the title of brother-in-law is based on her, it is her husband who can be called brother-in-law.

"Are you ......" Yang Rui couldn't help but glare angrily when he saw Han Jian smiling on the side, and said, "Don't you help Xi'er?" ”

Han Jian said: "Rui'er, now that Xi'er hasn't come out of the fatigue of the journey, you might as well let him recuperate for a while, and then let him start taking care of the government after the New Year." Now that there is Gu Taifu in the court, there is no big problem. ”

"You mean Master Gu? It's a good thing that Taishi Gu can come out to help Xi'er. Yang Rui sighed.

Although she was not used to Han Jian calling her "Rui'er" in front of Yang Xi, she herself felt that she was hypocritical, and even Yang Xi treated Han Jian as her brother-in-law, so why should she think so much.

"Xi'er, you are like this, I am very worried, I really don't know what to do. Father Huang Quanxia knows, and he will definitely blame my sister for not taking good care of you. ”

As he spoke, Yang Rui couldn't help but start wiping his tears.

Han Jianxin is a sister or a mother, the eldest brother is the father, the eldest sister is like a mother, Yang Rui is the rhythm of being a father and a mother at the same time, if she hadn't spoiled Yang Xi to grow up, why would Yang Xi be as vulnerable as a little flower?

Han Jian said: "Rui'er, you see that Xi'er is not young, should you take a concubine for him as soon as possible, so that he can settle down?" ”

Yang Rui seemed to be stunned when he heard it, and said happily: "That's true, it's true." Xi'er, it's time for you to start a family, and now that you're back, you're still the crown prince of my Great Wei Dynasty, and my sister will find you a famous lady in Luoyang and make you the crown princess. ”

Yang Xi heard it, but as if he hadn't heard it, the whole person was still in a trance. From this reaction, Han Jian felt that something was not right, it was a bit like being poured ** soup.

Han Jianxin said Could it be that the people of the Southern Dynasty took some medicine on him that made him so depressed?

Yang Rui didn't have the heart to pay attention to anything else, Han Jian's mention was good in her opinion, so she said: "You, go and help Xi'er carefully select, Xi'er has just come back now, and she will also be the prince of my Great Wei Dynasty in the future, and it is good to be able to add heirs to my Yang family." ”

Han Jianxin said that this is a little early. Before he was "carefully selected", he was already thinking about getting married, and before he got married, he was thinking about adding heirs.

"Okay." Han Jian nodded.

"Don't bother Xi'er, my sister is also a little tired, you ......" Yang Rui glared at Han Jian again, "Carry me back." ”

"Huh?"

Han Jianxin said that it is really not easy to be the emperor's husband, this is simply being called as a slave, and he has to share his worries for the emperor, and he has to be a cow and a horse.

However, Han Jian also felt that Yang Xi's mental state was really bad, and it was not appropriate to stay and disturb.

got up and helped Yang Rui outside, only to lower down and let her get on his back.

When he came, he basically didn't speak all the way, but when he went back, Yang Rui talked a lot, as if a nagging woman had finally found someone to talk to.

“…… Xi'er's future wedding must be lively, you have to choose a good girl for her, but you are not allowed to fill in the ...... of a woman for yourself in the name of choosing the crown princess."

Han Jian's ears were about to turn calloused. When she returned to the dormitory with Yang Rui on her back, Yang Rui herself was too tired, and since she was injured, she had never experienced such a physically exhausting thing.

"I'm going to make arrangements, Rui'er, do you have anything else to explain?" Han Jian thought that it was almost time to leave the palace, otherwise Han Song would lose his temper with him again, and there were still many things waiting for him to deal with.

"No need." Yang Rui looked at Han Jian, no matter how cold her tone was before, when Han Jian was about to leave the palace, she still couldn't help but let out some reluctant looks.

Han Jian was not a person who did not understand the amorous feelings, stepped forward, gently touched Yang Rui's face, and said, "Later, I will enter the palace again and start the prince's wedding." When the time comes, you'll have to leave the door for me. ”

"Hmm." Yang Rui smiled, she naturally knew what it meant to "stay in the door".

Han Jian left the palace and went directly to the original Shangting Office, which is now Shangshutai, and met Gu Weipan, who explained to Gu Weipan about the prince's wedding.

"The prince's wedding is a big deal." Gu Weipan said with a cautious face, "Your Majesty, but is there a candidate?" ”

"It's because there is no candidate that we need Mrs. Gu's help, it seems that Mrs. Gu needs to think about it."

"Consider? It's not easy to do! Gu Weipan's face was very difficult.

Han Jian knew what he was thinking, it was really difficult to choose a "famous lady" who wanted to satisfy both the emperor and the East Palace.

"As long as His Majesty is satisfied, on the side of the East Palace, Mrs. Gu doesn't have to worry too much." Han Jian said with a smile.

Gu Weipan nodded and said, "In this way, the old man knows how to do it." (To be continued......)
