After hearing this, Han Lie raised his brows in shock.
"The Emperor of Daxia actually let him come back?" Han Lie's tone was full of disbelief.
Zhu Ling casually handed the letter to Han Lie and said, "Read it yourself. It's written clearly. In a month or so, the Daxia delegation will arrive."
Han Lie quickly read the letter, and his expression became more solemn.
He calmed down and said gently, "I think it makes sense. Queen Dowager, think about it, our Great Viet is now a powerful country. Great Xia is just showing off its strength and pretending to scare us."
"Ultimately, they are still afraid of another dispute between the two countries."
"Therefore, the prince was only placed under house arrest for less than two months before being released."
Zhu Ling was silent for a moment, then said sharply, "Humph! This Yue Haoyun is really hard to kill!"
"Sun has been giving him drugs for so many years, but he hasn't been poisoned to death."
"When they arrived in Daxia, they were already protons, yet they were released within two months!"
Han Lie folded the letter and said gently, "Your Majesty, please be patient and don't get yourself hurt by anger."
"Let's take a long-term view."
Zhu Ling gritted her teeth and said, "Let's take a long-term view. Let's take a long-term view. It's been almost ten years! Isn't ten years a long time?"
Han Lie frowned, then put on a smile again: "Your Majesty, his return to Dai Viet might not be a bad thing. He said that as long as he comes to our territory, we can deal with him however we want, right?"
"He's tough, so let's just use a few more killing moves."
When Zhu Ling heard this, her gloomy expression eased slightly.
Han Lie approached Zhu Ling and whispered, "Your Majesty, what do you think? If the Great Yue envoys were to encounter bandits halfway through their journey, and the prince were to die at the hands of the bandits in order to protect the Great Xia envoys, would that be justified?"
Zhu Ling's eyes lit up, and she murmured, "Well, that makes sense."
Han Lie cupped his hands and said, "Then I will do it right away."
Han Lie left the palace and looked at the time. It was almost noon. He ordered his followers to go straight to the villa.
Han Lie's villa.
A sumptuous meal had just been placed on the table when Han Lie came in.
When Yao Jinse saw Han Lie in his official uniform, she immediately smiled and stepped forward to support his arm. "Dad, you're here! That's great. It's just right for us to have dinner together."
The two maids tactfully lifted the door curtain in front and welcomed Han Lie into the main hall.
Han Lie sat in the main seat, while Jiang, Yao Jinse and Liang Chaozong sat on both sides.
"You've been tired for a long time, you must be hungry, eat it while it's hot!" Jiang served Han Lie enthusiastically.
Yao Jinse was busy serving food to the maid, while Liang Chaozong personally poured a glass of wine and handed it to Han Lie.
"Father-in-law, please drink some rice wine. It's mild and won't make you drunk."
Liang Chaozong changed his usual aloof attitude and greeted his father-in-law warmly like an ordinary son-in-law.
Han Lie picked up the wine glass, glanced at Liang Chaozong meaningfully, and said lightly: "Chaozong is really filial."
Liang Chaozong smiled and said, "Father-in-law, look at what you said. You are my only father-in-law. If I don't respect you, who can I respect?"
"Jinse and I have been married for more than ten years. I cherish her like a pearl and jade. You are her biological father, so we are a family!"
Yao Jinse also laughed and said, "Chaozong is absolutely right. That's exactly what he said."
As she spoke, she continued to serve food to Han Lie.
The family ate lunch in an atmosphere of chatting and laughing. When they were almost done, Yao Jinse said softly, "Dad, you see, Chaozong has been in the capital for some time. He has no reason to stay in the mansion now."
"Just find a vacancy and put him in there."
"If there is a vacancy near you, you can assign him to the position and he can help you."
"After all, we're a family, so it's safe to use, right?"
Liang Chaozong smiled and said, "That's right. I'll trouble you with everything, father-in-law!"
Han Lie looked at Han Lie and said calmly: "But, with Chaozong's noble status, isn't it unfair for him to be a small official in Da Yue?"
Yao Jinse picked up a piece of food for Han Lie with chopsticks and smiled sweetly: "No, no, he is not wronged. He has endured humiliation and hardship for so many years. Being a small official is nothing to him."
A hint of coldness flashed in Liang Chaozong's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He smiled and said, "Father-in-law, you are too kind. Right now, as a son-in-law, I just want to survive first, so why should I think about so many things? If you can help me enter the court as an official, I will be very grateful!"
After saying that, Liang Chaozong poured a glass of wine, toasted Han Lie, and drank it all in one gulp.
Han Lie smiled and said, "It can be done, but we can't rush it."
"After all, vacancies don't always come. Chaozong, just stay here and live a peaceful life with Jinse."
"Once you are familiar with the customs and practices of Dai Viet, I will find a suitable position and assign you there."
Liang Chaozong smiled wryly and bowed to Han Lie, saying, "Then I would like to thank my father-in-law first."
Shortly after lunch, Han Lie boarded his carriage and returned home. Jiang returned to her room for a nap, while Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse also returned to their bedrooms.
The couple leaned on the couch, Liang Chaozong looked unhappy and sullen.
Yao Jinse pulled his hand and said, "Since Daddy has already promised you, he will definitely do it. Just wait and be at ease."
Liang Chaozong shook the woman's hand away, rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Your father's words clearly indicate he's deliberately shirking responsibility. He doesn't want to recommend me for a position in the imperial court!"
Yao Jinse leaned over to Liang Chaozong, stretched out her jade hand, and stroked his brow, saying softly, "Don't think that way. What Daddy said makes sense."
"We're new here, and we don't even know much about Dai Viet's customs and practices. Don't worry."
Liang Chaozong pushed the woman in front of him away, sat up straight, and said with a cold face: "Humph, your father married a wife in Daiyue and had a son and a daughter."
"His wife comes from a family of officials, the Marquis family. The Marquis's mother's family has given him a lot of help."
"His only son was a talented scholar and military officer, and was appointed Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
"His only daughter also married into the Duke's Mansion and became the Crown Prince's wife."
Having said that, Liang Chaozong turned his head and looked directly into Yao Jinse's eyes.
"Let me ask you, if you were him, would you still care about the husband of an illegitimate daughter when you already have such a pair of excellent children?"
"Yao Jinse, you better understand that you are just his father Han Lie's illegitimate daughter who cannot be seen in public! And I am just the husband of his illegitimate daughter."
"Moreover, he is a son-in-law whose true identity is not to be revealed."
Liang Chaozong stared at the woman in front of him, and every word he said was like a sharp knife, stabbing into Yao Jinse's heart.
Yao Jinse's face froze.
