On the first day of the first lunar month, there are many officials who come to the Dongwangfu from the morning to greet them, all of whom are officials under the Dongwangfu system, and some officials of the imperial court faction have to avoid taboos even if they have the heart. Han Song still received visitors as the princess of the county, and Han Jian went out very early to discuss the military aircraft at the yamen of the military station.

It has only been two or three days of work, and the Xianbei people have trampled on the old land of Xiliang beyond recognition. The soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court and the Eastern Prince's Mansion to the west of Yangguan could only retreat in the city and watch the Xianbei people plunder. But fortunately, the population of the western cool land itself is not so dense, and it is a cold winter, so there is nothing to grab.

The garrison of Yangguan has been strengthened repeatedly, but Han Jian also saw that the Xianbei people did not intend to use Yangguan as a breakthrough to sweep the pass. On the one hand, Lin Zhan reported the movements of the Xianbei cavalry in the north and proposed to divide the troops to garrison, and on the other hand, Yang Rui and the imperial court put pressure on him to ensure the safety of Luoyang.

By noon, when Han Jian returned to the palace, the officials who came to greet him basically dispersed, because there was a banquet from the palace in the evening, and even the generals of the Dongwang Mansion were invited, and they also went back to prepare. When Han Jian arrived in the main hall, Han Song's was explaining something to Yang Li'er, Yang Li'er was holding the child, and when she saw Han Jian coming in to greet her, Han Song's looked at Han Jian, as if she hadn't finished some words.

"Why did Jian'er come back early? I don't see you coming home at noon on weekdays. Han Songshi asked.

Han Jian smiled and said, "I still have to take a breath when I hang myself, do I have to be so busy that I don't even have time to catch my breath?" ”

Han Songshi glanced at Han Jian, but took out the gift slip and handed it to Han Jian and said, "This is a tribute presented by the local government in Jiangdu, you can see if there is a suitable one to stay." If it's not suitable, send it to the palace! ”

Since it was a tribute, it was for the emperor, but Han Song obviously didn't take Yang Rui seriously. Even the tribute should be withheld first to see if there is a "suitable one" to stay first.

Han Jian at a glance. Most of them are also local specialties, and local officials do not dare to blatantly send too valuable items when they pay tribute, these things are mostly food, and there are some utensils, and there is no shortage of anything in the Dongwang Mansion, and this thing cannot be put into the eyes.

"No need." Han Jian handed the gift list back to Han Song and said, "Let people send it to the palace in the afternoon." ”

Han Songshi frowned and said, "I didn't look carefully." How do you know that there is nothing important? I think some things are very good, Jiangdu's things, fortunately, they are also their own. It's easy to use, so I left it for Xin'er and Li'er to use, Li'er, what do you say? ”

"Oh? Well. What Erniang said is reasonable. "Yang Li'er is still coaxing the child. Where is the time to listen to what Han Songshi is saying. Let her reply, she just said it in passing.

"That's it." Han Song took the gift slip to the offering table, picked up a brush and dotted it on the gift list, and the things he drew would be left directly in the Dongwang Mansion.

Han Jian looked at Yang Jian'er helplessly, Yang Ling'er looked at Han Jian as if she had done something wrong, and said, "Xianggong, did the concubine say the wrong thing?" ”

"That's right." Han Jian smiled slightly. Since the Han Song clan intends to withhold the tribute, any reason is fine. She just deducted them all and didn't send them to the palace, and the palace wouldn't say anything, and Yang Rui would take the initiative to come over and get these tributes back? The feud between Yang Rui and Han Song's is on the surface, she would rather have less of one thing, when Han Song's does not exist, what Han Song's does can't affect her.

"Xianggong, Your Majesty asked someone to send a message earlier, and asked the concubine to take Xi'er into the palace in the afternoon." Yang Li'er said suddenly.

"Oh." Han Jian nodded, "It's about that His Majesty also wants to see Xi'er, you just have to go, and I will take you out of the palace after the banquet in the evening." ”

Yang Li'er's cheeks turned slightly red and said: "Your Majesty's meaning is to let the concubine stay in the palace at night and not leave, and come back tomorrow." In fact...... My sister wants to keep her husband in the palace. ”

Han Jian was silent for a moment, these days he almost got up early and greedy late for the rebellion in Guanzhong and the invasion of the Xianbei people, so he rarely had the opportunity to spend the night in the palace. Yang Rui also cares about face, if Han Jian doesn't stay in the palace, she doesn't say anything if she has an opinion, she really wants to have another heir to complete the succession to the throne. Yang Rui's attitude is very resolute now, according to her meaning, the position of Prince Yang Xi will be deposed sooner or later, only in a short period of time, for the stability of the imperial court, and she herself has given birth to a son, Yang Xi can stay on his crown prince.

"Hmm." Han Jian nodded.

The Spring Festival banquet in the Dongwangfu will be set on the second day of the first month, and the officials of the Dongwangfu system will come in person. The family banquet in Dongwangfu was not arranged in advance, Han Jian is also a Gu family on weekdays, and there are several family banquets every month, which will bring the family together to contact the relationship, but will not make special arrangements because of the Spring Festival.

After noon, someone came to the palace to pick up Yang Li'er's mother and son into the palace, Yang Li'er carried Han Xi into the sedan chair, but she was told to let Han Jian enter the palace early in the evening to accompany her.

Han Jian sent Yang Li'er away before entering the inner courtyard, and at this time there were still two pregnant women in the family who needed him to accompany her, one was Lin Xiaoshu, who was nearly six months pregnant, and the other was Gu Xin'er, who was not long pregnant.

It is rare for the New Year, and Han Jian is equivalent to giving himself a vacation, and he stays in the Dongwang Mansion all afternoon. But the battle reports from the front line were still sent to Luoyang in a steady stream, because Han Jian was not in the military station and Wu'an office, all the battle reports would be sent directly to the Dongwang Mansion.

Han Jian accompanied Gu Xin'er in the room, and it was Han Jian who suddenly became interested and wanted to eat shabu with Gu Xin'er, but Han Jian received three battle reports from the front line after a meal of shabu-shabu. Two times were sent from Yangguan, and once from Chang'an City, Guanzhong.

"It's so busy." Han Jian said a little apologetically to Gu Xin'er.

Gu Xin'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Hasn't my husband always been so busy? The day before yesterday, I sent food to my husband, and I saw that my husband was very busy. ”

Gu Xin'er ate some hot food, her cheeks were red and very delicate, especially when she was pregnant, she was taboo and paid attention to recuperation and daily life, and she also had a motherly face these days. Yang Li'er gave birth to Han Xi a long time ago, although Gu Xin'er didn't say it, but she was also very disappointed in her heart, and now that she was finally pregnant, she was afraid that she would have a problem because she was the first child who didn't know how to recuperate.

"Xin'er, let's go, go to the bed, I want to comfort you." Han Jian grabbed Gu Xin'er's waist and said.

"Husband, really." Originally, Gu Xin'er's cheeks were flushed, and she was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head when she heard the words.

After all, Gu Xin'er has no "friendship" with Yang Rui. Yang Rui will not invite Gu Xin'er to the palace if he invites Yang Li'er, Han Jian knows that he will go into the palace to accompany Yang Rui at night, so naturally he will not have time to accompany Gu Xin'er more. had to take advantage of the sun to be old and high, and linger with Gu Xin'er.

But it was Han Jian who just helped Gu Xin'er to the bed, and Wen'er, who had gone to the front yard to receive Han Song's "teaching", came back, and when she saw Han Jian giving Gu Xin'er a wide coat, Xiao Nizi stayed in the house and refused to leave.

Wen'er is also very active these days, firstly, she is older, and she is no longer just a girl. What's more, her mother often comes to see her in the Dongwang Mansion, and she feels like the little half of the master in the Dongwang Mansion, and she is obsessed with Han Jian when she sees her.

"Husband, it's better to accompany Wen'er's sister more." Gu Xin'er was very generous to Wen'er. After all, since the first day she married into the mansion, she and Wen'er have slept in the same bed, completely like sisters, Gu Xin'er herself is the kind of person who has no scheming and is friendly to others, while Wen'er is stingy in her heart. But after all, she is a slave. can get the housemother to treat her as a younger sister, and she doesn't dare to casually lose her daughter's temper in front of Gu Xin'er. The relationship between these two sisters can be said to be very good, Han Jian asked Gu Xin'er, the two have never even quarreled over anything, for the two little sisters who are facing each other day and night, this is not easy in itself.

"Xin'er, you are so generous, don't you want to?" Han Jian joked with a smile.

"I didn't ...... No. Gu Xin'er wouldn't lie, if Yang Li'er was asked such a question, she would probably turn around and make fun of Han Jian. But Gu Xin'er denied it flatly, but she couldn't hide her obsession with Han Jian in her heart. I even leaned over.

Han Jian didn't embarrass Gu Xin'er anymore, since he decided to stay in the inner courtyard for the whole afternoon to accompany the woman beside him, he was ready to do it wholeheartedly. But some things are still too damaging the atmosphere, even when Han Jian accompanied Gu Xin'er and Wen'er, there was still a battle report, but it was handed over by the maid. This time, Han Jian didn't pay attention to anything, even if it was a big matter, he had to postpone it first, but because Gu Xin'er was afraid that there would be any military aircraft that would be delayed, she would forgive it very early, and she was afraid of hurting the child in her womb.

Han Jian was a little disappointed to get dressed and come out, Wen'er was very thoughtful in her service, and when Han Jian came out with her clothes dressed, she took a look at the battle report, but it was also something that could be reported or not.

In general, the west of Yangguan has completely fallen into chaos, and the Xianbei people are only more than 10,000 cavalry, which has already caused a headache for the soldiers and horses of the Wei Dynasty. And in the information that Lin Zhan came over, the number of cavalry prepared by the Xianbei people in Beiguan this time is still twenty or thirty thousand, if these cavalry go south, it is best to hinder them with the pass, if not, then whether it is Guanzhong or the land in the north, it will fall into turmoil again.

As night fell, Han Jian also had to prepare to enter the palace.

The banquet in the palace is scheduled to start when the lights are on, but all the officials have to arrive in advance, Han Jian, as the king of the east, his identity this year is different from usual, he is already the emperor's husband, Yang Rui rarely attends public occasions after all, even if there is a banquet in the palace, Han Jian should also enter the palace as the master to handle it earlier. But Han Jian lingered in the inner courtyard until sunset and dusk before preparing to enter the palace, he couldn't take care of the affairs in the palace, anyway, the people from the Ministry of Etiquette were in charge, and Gu Weipan and Ning Yuan would enter the palace earlier, so he was not in a hurry.

Originally, Han Jian's aunts were also included in the list of banquets in the palace, but as before, Han Song's directly refused on the grounds of physical discomfort, Han Song's did not enter the palace, and there was no need for Han Jian's other aunts to enter the palace.

The palace banquet is too public, and if the female streamers can not go, they will not go, just because Han Song has been managing the East Palace for many years as the princess of the county, and they can no longer be regarded as ordinary women. And Han Cui's and Han Zhao's are more involved in politics in the Dongwang Mansion, and now she is both leading troops to fight the rebels in Guanzhong, and she is likely to clash with the invading Xianbei cavalry, even Han Cui and Han Zhao are not there, and only Han Jian enters the palace in the entire Dongwang Mansion.

Han Jian entered the palace, but did not go to the palace banquet, but went directly to the inner garden of the palace to meet Yang Rui and Yang Li'er.

Yang Rui must be attending with Han Jian, this is also to show that the East Wangfu and the imperial court are in harmony, Yang Rui originally thought that after taking Yang Li'er into the palace, Han Jian would be worried about their mother and son coming earlier, but she didn't know that Han Jian was late after dark, which made her dissatisfied.

"Why did you come so late? After a while, the banquet was opened, and the concubine and the husband had not yet gone, so it was smiling and generous. Yang Rui saw Han Jian enter the door and tidied up Han Jian's clothes a little.

Han Jian smiled and looked at Yang Li'er, who was holding the child, and said, "If Rui'er, you, who is your majesty, and I, the king of the east, didn't go, who would dare to open the banquet?" ”

If it were another time, Yang Rui might argue with Han Jian, but now that it is the New Year after all, and Yang Li'er is also present, she can't contradict Han Jian too much, so Yang Li'er will feel that she has a dislike for Han Jian.

"Then it's better to go there sooner." Yang Rui glanced at Yang Li'er and said, "My sister is waiting here." Sister, I will go early and return early, and when I come back, I will also bring your husband back! ”

Yang Li'er smiled: "My husband and sister just have to go." It's not the first time the concubine has come, and there is Hui'er here, so don't worry about it. ”

"Hmm." Yang Rui pointed to the small cradle on the side and said, "I'm also bothering my sister to take care of it more." ”

"Okay." Yang Li'er nodded.

In fact, there is Hui'er, and there will be a nurse to come to breastfeed, and there is no shortage of people to take care of children in the palace itself, but Yang Rui also feels that the mother-daughter relationship is deep these days, and he is rarely separated from his daughter. Maybe Yang Rui felt that Han Jian was not estranged from this daughter, which made her feel a lot more relieved.

When Han Jian and Yang Rui arrived at the Wenwu Hall followed by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, the ministers in the palace who had been waiting for a long time stood up and saluted.

"The Qing family doesn't have to be polite, just sit down!" Yang Rui stood in front of his main seat and waved his hand.

"Thank you." The hundred officials sat down, but some officials in the Dongwang Mansion were still a little concerned, after all, Yang Rui said to sit but Han Jian didn't say anything.

The main seat that the Wenwu Hall is now preparing for Yang Rui is connected by two desks, and Yang Rui is on her side, regardless of whether they are high or low.

Han Jian didn't say anything, and sat down directly with Yang Rui, and some officials of the Dongwang Mansion who had problems with the imperial court sat down.

Yang Rui glanced at Han Jian, as if to say, "Look at those good subordinates of yours!" ”

Han Jianquan didn't see it.

Yang Ruilang said: "Today is the Spring Festival, although my Great Wei Dynasty is still not completely stable, but it is generally stable. In the future, we should also rest and recuperate, so that the country and the people will be safe. I invite you all to have a drink! ”

"Respect Your Majesty!" All the officials stood up and raised their glasses to drink. (To be continued......)
