Chapter 400: Passionate Pursuit (Part II)
Flower heart has always been an important "indicator" for women to consider the character of their mates. Han Jian obviously made a big mistake in this regard, but for him, this did not prevent him from continuing to stalk. The point is that he has already married more than one back, so he doesn't care about adding a few more.
The empress was born in the emperor's family, so she naturally knew that she was in the middle and upper echelons of the power field, and she could no longer raise her eyebrows like ordinary people.
But if the empress wants to marry, she will definitely not be a concubine, and sharing men's affairs with others sounds very impersonal.
But in this year, the empress is no longer a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young girl, and her sons are as old as Han Jian, maybe only one of the unlucky dead wives, it is more appropriate to marry her as a "continuation". Otherwise, she will face the problem of either finding a man who already has a wife, or choosing a man who is obviously much younger than her as a husband. Or, never marry.
Han Jian is obviously not an excellent choice for her, Han Jian is not only young enough to be her son, but also has already married a wife, and it is unlikely that Han Jian will divorce his wife, which involves several issues related to the political alliance and the stability of the imperial court. If she doesn't stop, even if she marries and becomes the main house, she will have to face the embarrassment of sharing her husband with a woman.
What's worse is that she will be said to be "an old cow eating tender grass". Han Jian, a young man, has become a fragrant dumpling.
In Han Jian's opinion, he has his goodness, that is, he is young, and he is thick-skinned and knows how to please women, especially "older young women" like the empress who lack the nourishment of love. His disadvantage is that he is too "amorous", and the result of amorous is often abusive. But he asked himself, he didn't want to disappoint any woman who had invested in his true feelings, including the Empress.
"Your Majesty, let's eat the vegetables first." Han Jian didn't want to say anything, he knew that no matter how much he said, the person on the other side wouldn't listen. Even if you can't win the hearts of beauties today, it's a good thing to come out for a walk together and enhance communication.
The empress glanced at Han Jian, and at this time, the dishes were basically ready, and they were all very simple vegetarian dishes. It's also exquisitely done. The Empress had traveled a lot before. I was also a little hungry, so I picked up my chopsticks and started eating.
Originally, Han Jian wanted to dine with the empress, but he had to get the empress's approval. But the empress was obviously not ready to invite Han Jian to eat with her, and Han Jian was already sitting there. I won't wait. I picked up chopsticks and ate together.
This is not the first time Han Jian and the empress have eaten together. However, this was the first time he had eaten alone with the Empress. While Han Jian felt comforted in his heart, he was also a little hungry, and it would be better if there was more warmth between men and women at this table. For example, he served the empress with a dish or something.
After lunch, Han Jian settled the bill and went downstairs to accompany the empress.
In Han Jian's mind, since the guy in the shop said that there were hidden temples around, and now the empress is cultivating Buddhism, he naturally wants to go and see it.
Unexpectedly, after lunch, the empress said, "Go back." β
Han Jian asked puzzledly, "Will Miss Yang let me go next time, or will I say ...... Back together? β
"I want to go back to rest, where the king of the east is going to go, take care of yourself." The empress said, take a step downstairs first, Han Jian had to sigh and follow behind, and when he reached the street, Han Jian couldn't help but remind the empress, "Your Majesty, don't forget the family banquet in the house today." β
"I will not forget." The Empress said, still walking away without looking back.
Han Jian followed behind, feeling bored.
came out for a long time and walked a lot of places, but in the end he still failed to make the queen say anything to him. On the contrary, it feels more distant.
As he was walking, he suddenly noticed that there was a commotion in front of him, a shop with a good faΓ§ade decoration, which seemed to be being searched by the government, and many officials and soldiers were coming in and out, and some people wearing official uniforms were there, as if they were scolding something.
"King Dong, what's going on ahead?" The Empress suddenly stopped and asked.
"The minister and His Majesty walked together, and when they saw each other, how could they know the situation ahead?" Han Jian changed the identity of the courtier, and said, "Why don't the ministers go up and investigate?" β
"No, it looks ...... Is it a green building? The Empress looked at the face carefully and spoke.
Han Jian smiled, he didn't come to this place often, and he really didn't know what kind of store it was in front of him. Although he asked himself to be an "old Jiangdu", the most time he ran to Jiangdu was before he was ten years old, and in the past few years, because of sword practice and enthusiasm for engraving comic books, he has not had much time to go out and walk around, so that the changes in some streets are not very clear.
Listening to the empress's words, Han Jian could probably guess that he had some trouble in Jiangnan Tower before, and when Song Niang and a group of people were escorted to the government, the government knew what happened as soon as they tortured them. Jiangdu's yamen, who is in charge of public security, is still not sincere and afraid of hurrying to a "big rectification", so that Dongwangfu feels that they are doing things, and not have any connection with an "organization" like Jiangnanlou?
"Your Majesty, we should all be passing by, don't look at what happened." Han Jian spread his hands.
"I feel that your heart is still not calm, so I just took the opportunity to step forward, find a few more girls, and send them to the Dongwang Mansion for you." The Empress said, ready to move forward.
"Your Majesty, please stay." Han Jian hurriedly stopped in front of the empress, but was glared at by the empress, feeling a little embarrassed.
"What do you want?" The empress said with a bit of resentment.
"Your Majesty, this kind of place...... In public, or ...... Don't appear good. Han Jian said with some embarrassment.
Han Jian's meaning, Jiangnan Tower didn't open the door to do business just now, something happened inside, as long as the person was taken, no one would know what happened inside when he turned around, and no one knew that the empress, who was the supreme of the Ninety-Five, would go to a "filthy" place like Jiangnan Tower with the lord of Jiangdu. But now it's different, the government is beating gongs and drums and censoring brothels, they are so reckless, don't they let everyone know that the empress is out of the brothel, and she wants to enter a place like a brothel?
The empress thought about it, and what Han Jian said made sense. It's really not appropriate to go up like this.
"Then I order you to come forward and complete what I have told you on my behalf." The Empress snapped.
When Han Jian heard this, he thought to himself that I had gone up like this, and I didn't say anything, so that the people thought I wanted to do something. Help you find some clearers to come back, and you will be sent to the Dongwang Mansion to entertain yourself? Isn't this self-inflicted with yourself?
"I'm sorry, Miss Yang's request, I forgive you for your fate." Han Jian said without looking over.
"You ......"
The empress didn't expect Han Jian's role to change so quickly, and she groveled to her just now, and called her "Miss Yang" in a blink of an eye. Even her orders dared to openly disobey.
"King Dong, do you want to disrespect the decree?" The Empress asked.
"What Miss Yang said is really a joke, since you are a micro-service, there is nothing to resist or not to resist. If His Majesty feels that there is something to be done, just go back to the dormitory and find someone to send it. Now there are no monarchs and ministers, only one Lin Gongzi and Miss Yang. Han Jian raised his head and said very politely, "Why don't you come forward and talk about it yourself?" β
"Good!" The empress said angrily, strode up, and just took a step forward, she was already pulled by Han Jian.
"Miss Yang, are you really going?" Han Jian didn't want the empress to show up and do such a "showy" thing.
"What, the East King thinks he still has to do things for me?" The empress said with a bit of arrogance and pride, probably because she felt that she was moving forward firmly just now, forcing Han Jian to bow her head.
It's just that she didn't expect that Han Jian just shrugged her shoulders and said, "Miss Yang wants to show her face, and she won't stop her." Just remind Miss Yang, maybe someone can help you, oh! β
As he spoke, Han Jiannunu mouthed, but saw a woman standing on the second floor of the opposite street, who was the empress's "right-hand man" Yi Die.
At this time, Yi Die didn't seem to notice the empress's cunning, and she was still carrying a burden, which was the one she prepared on the bed when Han Jian saw her that day. Han Jian guessed that she was going to go far away, and then guessed that she was going to find the empress. But Guan Yi Die's appearance should have just returned to Jiangdu City from other places, and he may have also received the news that the empress had appeared, and came back to verify the authenticity.
"Is it the Ebu Envoy?" The Empress frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty these days, haven't you seen Yi Buku's envoy?" Han Jian asked with some surprise.
The Empress shook her head. Han Jian looked at the empress's attitude, not like he was lying to him.
Originally, Han Jian had a relationship with the empress's stand-in, only a few people from the Han Song clan and Han Cui's clan knew about it, but after Han Jian was sure that it was not Han Song's leakage to the empress, he guessed that Yi Die might have secretly found out about it and notified the empress. Therefore, Han Jian always felt that Yi Die knew the whereabouts of the empress from beginning to end, but he did not disclose it to the Eastern Palace.
But now it seems that the empress has not been in contact with Yi Die, the helmsman of the intelligence system, in the past few months. Han Jian had to think that when the empress was cultivating Buddhism, the information was still not broken, which meant that there were people who provided her with news.
A name came to Han Jian's mind, Ling Jun. He was originally the deputy chief minister of the Luoyang City Hearing Department, and he was also the actual helmsman of the yamen in the Shen Criminal Division. Ling Jun is not only in charge of intelligence, but also in charge of secret secret service organizations. After the empress was placed under house arrest by Yang Yu, Ling Jun's whereabouts had become a mystery, but the system of the Prudential Criminal Division was still operating in an orderly manner.
Han Jian once thought that Yi Die was in charge of the daily operation of the Prudential Criminal Division, but now it seems that the helmsman of the Prudential Criminal Division has never changed, and Ling Jun has always been responsible behind the scenes.
"King Dong, you go and tell the envoy of Ibuku, and ask her to help me do this." The empress commanded, but she didn't know that Han Jian's brain was racing fast.
Han Jian suddenly said, "Your Majesty, dare to ask, where is Deputy Chief Ling now?" β
"What did you say?" The Empress turned to glare at Han Jian.
Han Jian looked back at the empress with burning eyes, and the two of them looked at each other like this, without giving in at all.
In Han Jian's opinion, if the empress had Ling Jun behind the scenes to help, the power struggle would be very complicated. This was not the time for him to pursue the Empress in peace, as it would likely involve another power struggle. At this time, he also became cautious, because in the power field, no details can be let go, and every qiΔ is based on the power struggle. (To be continued......)
