Yang Qian immediately understood and ignored what Hu Lili had just said as if it were a fart. She just lowered her head to eat fruits and vegetables, and no longer paid attention to Hu Lili.
In Hu Lili's eyes, Yang Qian's behavior seemed like a sign of weakness.
Thinking of this, Hu Lili raised her head proudly and looked at Yang Qian with an expression of extreme contempt.
After comforting Yang Qian, Su Liluo suppressed the disgust in his heart, turned his head with a smile and looked at Hu Lili.
"What are you talking about, sister? Just drink it if you want. This soup is made with the supplements and ingredients that my sister sent me. It took three days and three nights to condense into this bowl. How can it not taste good?"
As soon as she heard Su Liluo's words, Hu Lili quickly put down the soup in her hand.
Oh no, I almost drank something I had put a strong drink in.
Seeing the panic in Hu Lili's eyes, Su Liluo snorted in his heart, don't worry, the best is yet to come!
Han Xinyu yawned and her eyelids drooped. She was really sleepy now.
Help, she really doesn't want to see so many ugly things anymore.
At this moment, a shrill voice came from outside the mansion.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
Everyone hurriedly knelt on the ground respectfully, waiting for the old eunuch to read the imperial edict.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: In remembrance of your beloved Han's hard work for the country and the people, and also in remembrance of General Su's hard work and great contributions, hereby appoints Su Liluo as the Lady of the County, and appoints Han Xinyu, the second daughter of the Han family, as the Princess of Yuanxi County. This is my decree."
Han Haiyang bowed deeply and said, "Your humble servant Han Haiyang thanks our emperor. Long live the emperor."
"Please accept the imperial edict, Prime Minister."
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Han Haiyang took the imperial edict and then secretly stuffed a few gold bars into the old eunuch's pocket.
"Thank you for your hard work in coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion. The banquet has just begun. Please enjoy the meal before leaving."
Seeing Han Haiyang being so sensible, the old eunuch weighed the gold in his pocket and smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face disappeared.
"I appreciate the Prime Minister's kindness, but I am in a hurry to return to the palace to report, so I will not stay here for long. I will just take a look at this little baby."
After saying that, the old eunuch carefully looked at Han Xinyu in Han Xiangwen's arms and smiled tenderly, "What a wonderful person, Prime Minister, your blessings are yet to come."
Hearing the old eunuch's words, Han Haiyang quickly responded, "Thank you for your good wishes, eunuch."
Han Xinyu widened her eyes and looked at Eunuch Yang in front of her with curiosity.
[Huh? So this is what a eunuch looks like. Pale face, no beard, looks effeminate, and has a raised orchid finger.]
However, this old eunuch has good intentions. He has done a lot for our Han family within his ability.
The whole family...
Seeing that Eunuch Yang was in a hurry to go back, Han Haiyang bowed respectfully and said, "Please come this way, Eunuch."
After saying that, Han Haiyang respectfully escorted Eunuch Yang to the gate of the Prime Minister's residence. When there was no one around, Eunuch Yang looked at Han Haiyang and gave him some advice.
"Your Majesty, I would like to give you a piece of advice today. If the Emperor summons your little daughter to the palace in the future, you should say that she has malaria or is physically disabled and cannot enter the palace, so as to avoid bringing bad luck to the Emperor."
Han Haiyang was shocked when he heard this, but he knew that Eunuch Yang had already said as much as he could, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Han Haiyang suppressed his panic and hurriedly and respectfully sent Eunuch Yang back.
I thought the emperor's edict to visit the prime minister's residence was just a minor episode, but I didn't expect that even the second prince Ruan Xiaozhi would come today.
"Your servant Han Haiyang greets the Second Prince."
"Prime Minister Han, there is no need to be so polite."
Ruan Xiaozhi curled his lips into a smile, then gently helped Han Xiang up.
He had heard rumors early in the morning that his father intended to win over Han Haiyang, thinking that he could find a backer for the three-year-old Ruan Wenbo.
Therefore, he sent people to stake out outside the prime minister's residence early in the morning. Sure enough, the emperor specially sent people to the prime minister's residence to convey the imperial edict, attempting to win over Prime Minister Han by giving titles to Han Haiyang's beloved wife and daughter.
He was never one to sit and wait for death, so he rushed to the Prime Minister's residence as soon as he got the news.
"This is a painting that was given to me by a hermit when I was studying abroad. Today I will give this painting to the second young lady as a gift."
After saying that, Ruan Xiaozhi took out the painting and was about to put it into Han Xiang's hand.
As the saying goes, no reward without merit. The fact that the emperor suddenly bestowed titles on his wife and daughter today had already made Han Haiyang somewhat nervous. Now, he dared not accept the gift sent by Ruan Xiaozhi.
"Second Prince, I dare not accept such a precious gift."
Ruan Xiaozhi seemed not to notice the rejection in Han Haiyang's eyes and pushed the painting towards Han Haiyang.
"Prime Minister Han, you don't have to be so polite to me. It's just a painting. When I see that the Second Young Miss is so cute and smart, I feel that no gift can be more worthy of her than this painting."
Hearing Ruan Xiaozhi's words, Han Xinyu held her little hand and looked at Ruan Xiaozhi with her eyes rolling.
"Father, this Second Prince is a smiling tiger. He said he would send me a painting, but he must have seen that the Emperor is trying to win over our Prime Minister's Mansion and can't sit still. Please don't accept anything from him."
After hearing Han Xinyu's words, Han Haiyang sternly rejected the second prince's kindness.
"I thank the Second Prince for his kindness, but this painting is too valuable, and I'm afraid Yu'er is not worthy of it."
Having said that, Ruan Xiaozhi had no choice but to order someone to take the painting back.
Yes, a mere painting would not be enough to bribe Han Haiyang.
Thinking of this, Ruan Xiaozhi was not annoyed, but smiled faintly.
"Since Han Xiang has no feelings about this painting, I will not force him."
After saying that, Ruan Xiaozhi's sharp eyes swept around the Prime Minister's Residence with purpose, but he did not find the person he was looking for, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
"Today is the Second Miss's full moon banquet, why is Miss Han nowhere to be seen?"
[As expected, I told you, Daddy, the Second Prince had secretly negotiated with Han Xueer a long time ago. Han Xueer was not interested in Ruan Xiaozhi at first, and felt that the First Prince Ruan Xiaoyu was the future emperor of Daqi. She had always been attentive to the First Prince, but was lukewarm towards the Second Prince.
It was not until later that Han Xueer saw that Ruan Xiaozhi was far more capable than Ruan Xiaoyu, so she switched sides and used the help of the Prime Minister's Mansion to push herself into that position.
Later, Han Xueer said that our prime minister's mansion had been harshly criticizing her for many years, claiming that her father Han Yan was the one who actually passed the imperial examination. Then, she took Ruan Xiaozhi and killed hundreds of people in our prime minister's mansion.
Afterwards, Han Xueer sat firmly in the queen's seat and became the ultimate winner in life.
With Ruan Xiaozhi's help, she made her gambling-addicted father the new prime minister, who managed the prime minister's residence for many years. The evil old lady Han also enjoyed a life of wealth and glory.
