Although Han Jian prides himself on being a master in the love field, he still can't understand a woman's heart. Or rather, he can't read every woman's heart.

Hearts are all flesh and blood, everyone's mind is different, and it is different from time to time, Han Jian can only guess a woman's mind according to a general direction, but he can't do everything.

For example, he couldn't understand Yang Li'er's self-consolation mentality.

"Li'er, in fact, you are also my wife, and Ming Media is marrying in. In the East Palace, who dares to treat you as a concubine? Han Jian sighed.

"Come less." Yang Li'er was a little annoyed and said, "Which of your aunts doesn't treat me as a concubine?" In their eyes, only you are gentle, demure, generous and decent Miss Gu Family, and there has never been me, the treacherous and cunning Second Miss of Nanwangfu who does not know how to be gentle. ”

Han Jian heard the jealousy from these words, and hurriedly stepped forward to take Yang Li'er's hand and comfort her, Yang Li'er suddenly smiled slyly again, and said, "Okay, I won't bully you, just know that you are good to me." The concubine is married to you, not to your aunt, I close the door on weekdays, so I don't care what others think. ”

Han Jian shook his head helplessly, originally he felt that Yang Li'er's mood was a little autistic, which was not good. But looking at it now, this extreme personality also has the advantage of living your own life, regardless of the cold words of others.

Han Jian also knows very well that although Han Song and others are still maintaining a "neutral" mentality, they do have a lot of injustices against Yang Li'er. It is true that Gu Xin'er has done too well before and after, so good that no one can find fault with her. And Yang Li'er seems to be much more willful, saying that this is what she brought on herself, but it is also the difference between the two personalities. In the final analysis, Yang Xin'er doesn't like to be wronged to cater to others, while Gu Xin'er is centered on him, even if she wrongs herself, she seems to be very happy.

Soon it was near dusk in the afternoon, and as soon as Han Jian and Yang Li'er, who had changed into a brocade dress, came out, someone notified them that the empress had sent a group of women over. The carriage had arrived at the door.

"What does it mean?" Han Song looked at Han Jian. A puzzled expression.

Han Jian took the imperial decree given by the empress, put it directly into his arms, and said, "It's a reward." Bring people closer first. ”

"Majesty is true." Han Cuishi came in from outside and said. "Give so many women to Jian'er. I think we have fewer women in Dongwangfu. Yin and yang are not enough? Ah, Cian Er is here? ”

When Yang Li'er saw Han Cui's, she hurriedly saluted and said goodbye.

"No need to be polite. Athletes. You too, take Li'er over, don't hurry up to pick up Xin'er, Xin'er is also waiting. Han Cuishi immediately began to urge Han Jian again.

Han Jianxin said that Han Cui's family expressed friendship to Yang Li'er, and on the other hand, he did not forget to remind Yang Li'er who was the "main master" of the East Palace. What does this make Yang Li'er think, doesn't she feel that she has been "left out" again?

"People outside......" Han Jian pointed in the direction of the main gate of the East Palace.

"I've already asked someone to pick it up, and I've also taken a look, it's all thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls, and their appearance is also a little marked, are they the ones that were sent to His Majesty's bedroom from Jiangnan Tower today?" Han Cui's had already known about the seizure of Jiangnan Tower before, and she was not very clear about the details, but she only knew that after that, the large and small yamen in Jiangdu began to rectify the Qinglou Chu Pavilion in Jiangdu, and she was still busy working.

"Probably." As soon as Han Jian said casually, he entered the inner courtyard and took out Gu Xin'er and Wen'er, who were dressed in full clothes and eagerly waiting for him to come.

When Han Jian and Gu Xin'er arrived at the main hall, Han Jian's other aunts also came out, and Han Jian heard Han Xu's voice from afar, among his aunts, Han Xu's was also the longest-mouthed, and sometimes he spoke very harshly.

As soon as Han Jian came out with Gu Xin'er, Han Xu took Gu Xin'er's hand and kept talking, as if he was teaching some experience, but Han Jian knew that in some aspects, Han Xu had no experience at all. She just added fuel and vinegar to Gu Xin'er based on some things she heard, which made Gu Xin'er feel embarrassed, and kept asking Han Jian for help with her eyes.

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

"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 with them?" Han Songshi asked with some concern.

"Erniang, what do you mean?"

Han Songshi sighed: "Your Majesty's gift to your courtier's daughter is considered a grace of Your Majesty, but Your Majesty doesn't know how to think about it, I want to give you so much at once, and you don't receive it, and you don't receive it." Isn't this embarrassing for Erniang? ”

"Erniang, it's better to find someone to teach these women the rules first, and then send them back to Your Majesty, and be a palace maid or something." Han Jian said suddenly.

"The palace maid? On the side of the palace, there is no shortage of palace maids. Han Song said.

"Your Majesty has just come back, and there is no one around, so it's better to borrow flowers and offer Buddha, and your Majesty will send it over, and we'll send it back when we turn around, what does Erniang think?"

Han Songshi thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's better to go back and ask for instructions from His Majesty." ”

Han Jian didn't say anything, Han Song's approach to the empress was not unclear. However, as he grows older, in the face of power, Han Songshi is obviously standing on his position, after all, she is a woman, she knows who her heart should be directed to, and it took more than ten years to cultivate Han Jian, and it is waiting for Han Jian to "fulfill his filial piety", and then help an outdated empress, which is sincerely embarrassed by the second half of his life. Therefore, Han Song, Han Cui and others have obviously alienated the empress after she returned.

When the people outside had placed all the women sent by the empress, before sunset, the sedan chair sent by the Dongwang Mansion to pick up Gu Weipan's family also returned.

Gu Xin'er's parents, Gu Weipan and Gu Song, got down from the sedan chair, while Han Jian and Han Song personally greeted them at the door.

Originally, Han Jian thought that Gu Weipan would bring his concubine and son with him, but it may be that Gu Weipan still felt that his concubine was just from an ordinary background and could not be put on the stage, so he just brought Gu Song's family here.

Gu Xin'er, as the princess of the East, was not suitable to go out to greet her, but she just waited inside, and when Han Jian welcomed Gu Weipan and his wife inside, Gu Xin'er came over to help Gu Song's family, and Gu Song's family also held her daughter's hand and kept talking.

After sunset, the empress's luan drive was belated. There were more than 100 guards sent by the Dongwang Mansion to protect them, and although they were already very low-key along the way, the empress's itinerary was hindered because of the onlookers of the people and the obstruction of the road.

The Dongwang Mansion and Gu Weipan personally greeted the empress, and the empress came up from Luan, and the first thing she did was to glare at Han Jian first, which made everyone present a little confused.

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

"How can I be so hard? The hard work of the East King is. "The empress said a word.

Everyone present looked at each other, and they didn't know why the empress was so angry when she came.

Han Jian looked very respectful, pretended not to know anything, and accompanied the empress to the East Palace.

The East Palace's lanterns are colorful, as if it is a festive New Year. In the main hall, a large table was ready, enough for more than twenty people to eat around the table at the same time.

"King Dong, your preparation is quite sufficient." The Empress entered the main hall, looked at the huge table, and said.

Han Jian smiled and said: "There are already many people in the East Palace, and Your Majesty is here, so there is naturally a place." ”

Han Jian's words were a pun, as if to remind the empress that if you enter the door, there is also a place for you.

Others didn't know about the "festival" between Han Jian and the empress, so naturally they didn't understand this meaning, but the empress was like a mirror, and when she heard it, she knew that it was Han Jian who was "fighting back". At this time, even if it was a public occasion, she couldn't reprimand Han Jian casually, and she didn't want outsiders to find out about the matter.

"Your Majesty, please take a seat." Han Jian said with a smile.

The empress walked over and sat in the position at the head, originally Han Jian and Gu Weipan, as the ministers of the Wei Dynasty today, should have sat on both sides of the empress.

But this is not a palace banquet after all, eating around a round table, and it is not proper for a man to sit next to the empress after all.

So Han Jian and Gu Weipan could only change their positions, with Han Song and Han Cui accompanying the empress. Next to Han Jianjian, it was Gu Xin'er and Yang Li'er, and Wen'er, who was shrunk into a ball like a little mouse, sat beside Gu Xin'er with her head up, always wanting others not to look at her, but Gu Song's on the other side looked at her and didn't let go.

Gu Xin'er has already told Gu Song's about the relationship between herself and Wen'er, the two are "good sisters", and Wen'er is Gu Xin'er's personal maid to help Gu Xin'er fix her pet. In this way, Gu Songshi was very interested in this "helper" of his daughter.

The more Gu Song's eyes were watched, the lower Wen'er's head became, she was already very timid when she attended the family banquet before, but now that the empress was beside her, she felt even more weak in her heart.

"Pass the meal." As soon as the empress comes, the food cannot be called a serving, and every qiē must follow the rules of the palace.

A dazzling array of dishes kept being served, and the empress's attitude was suitable, but Han Jian looked at the empress from time to time, thinking about the noon meal, and thought to himself, if this meal was eaten by him and the empress, what kind of artistic conception would it be.

It's a candlelit dinner, or a big meal.

"Your Majesty, the food in the East Wangfu is rough and simple, please don't dislike it." Han Jian arched his hand.

"The East King is too polite. You can prepare such a table of vegetarian food for me, which can be regarded as a heart. The Empress said with a little emotion.

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

However, those who believe in Buddhism do not necessarily need to eat fast every day, Han Jian knows this very well, if the empress eats such a meal at once, it means that the empress is not far from becoming a monk.

So Han Jian very badly asked his subordinates to cook some of the dishes with "lard" when preparing the meal, pretending not to know, but he meant to tell the empress, you want to become a monk, no way!

He believed that with the trickery of the empress's tongue, he would definitely be able to perceive the otherness in the dish, and he just wanted to see if the empress was angry in front of so many people, or she couldn't bear it, or how to "teach" him. (To be continued......)
