After chatting with her mother in the hall for a while, Nanny Zhou came to report soon, saying that Wei Hansu's side had been sorted out.
Hearing this, Jiang smiled slightly, drank the last sip of tea, stood up and said, "I'll take her back. I want to see what other evil she can do."
Wei Hanzhang nodded slightly and walked his mother out of the palace. He wanted to walk her further but was stopped by Jiang: "Alright, go back now. There's no need for us to be polite. It's very hot outside. Don't walk her further."
Wei Hansu was waiting at the steps outside the hall. When he saw them come out, he stared at them in a daze.
Jiang didn't want to say anything more to this concubine's daughter whom she didn't like in the first place. She said a simple hello and got on the sedan chair and left.
Wei Hanzhang watched her mother walk away, feeling a little lost. Somehow, she suddenly wanted to see Xiao Boqian very much.
Even though they had just met last night, she now had an urgent urge to hug him.
…………
When Wei Hanzhang arrived at Chengming Hall, Xiao Junzhan was discussing matters with several court officials in the main hall. Upon hearing Ning Hai's report, he was slightly startled and asked, "Is there something important?"
Ning Hai shook his head slowly and whispered, "Miss Wei said there was nothing important, she just wanted to come and see you on a whim. I saw that she looked calm and didn't seem to be hiding anything."
Hearing this, Xiao Junzhan's eyes flashed with joy, and he said in a gentle voice: "Take Ranran to the inner hall first, and tell her that I will come over after I finish my work here."
This was the first time the little girl came to him on her own initiative since coming to the palace. Xiao Junzhan was happy and his expression inadvertently showed some tenderness.
He asked several officials in the hall to take a look and they were secretly amazed.
Everyone said that the daughter of the Wei family was favored, but without seeing Xiao Junzhan, who was as handsome as a spring breeze, with their own eyes, no one dared to believe that their cold and aloof prince who didn't like women would really have feelings for a girl who had just reached the age of marriage.
Ning Hai was ordered to lead Wei Hanzhang to the inner hall, which was where Xiao Junzhan lived in the palace.
"Please wait a moment. His Highness is discussing matters with his ministers. He will come over as soon as he is done." Ning Hai ordered the palace maid to serve tea and snacks, and then said, "Young lady, please have some tea first."
Wei Hanzhang walked around the hall for a while and said, "No hurry. His government affairs are more important. He doesn't need to come all the way to accompany me."
She was not an ignorant and willful little girl, so she was not willing to ask her lover to put aside state affairs to accompany her.
Ning Hai smiled and agreed in a low voice.
Wei Hanzhang picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked up at the personal servant beside Xiao Boqian and suddenly said, "Ning Hai, are you busy? Why don't you chat with me?"
Ning Hai was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said, "Miss, if you have anything to ask, just ask."
He was extremely conspicuous and used his eyes to signal the eunuchs and palace maids on his left and right to retreat.
Wei Hanzhang didn't expect him to be so serious. He was also stunned, but soon smiled and said, "I just wanted to chat with you for a while. Why are you acting like you are facing a great enemy?"
"Girl..." Ning Hai said helplessly, "You always like to play tricks on me."
"I didn't tease you this time. You misunderstood me." Wei Hanzhang could understand that this person was very perceptive when he followed Xiao Boqian. She asked curiously, "How old are you this year? How long have you been with your prince?"
Ning Hai didn't expect that this little ancestor would really chat. He didn't need to hide the fact, so he answered, "I am thirty-three years old this year. With the grace of Your Majesty, I have been serving Your Majesty since I was a child. It has been twenty-three years."
Wei Hanzhang did a quick calculation and figured out that Ning Hai had been by Xiao Boqian's side when he was two years old.
She is similar to Luzhu and Lulan.
Thinking about it, she smiled and asked, "You have been with him for so many years, have you ever seen him look at any girl differently?"
Wei Hanzhang had long been suspicious. As a young man with normal mental and physical health, in his teens, the age when he should be showing affection, how could he really not be curious about love between men and women?
Could it be that he had suffered some emotional trauma that caused him to stay away from women in these years?
Thinking of this, her smile faded a little, and she looked at Ning Hai steadily, making Ning Hai helpless, "That's true. Before I met you, Your Highness had no romantic feelings in his eyes or heart."
Wei Hanzhang nodded, and became even more puzzled: "When ordinary noble family children are fifteen or sixteen years old, their elders still arrange for people to understand human affairs. Your Highness..."
Even if the queen died early and the other concubines in the harem were not qualified to worry about the prince's affairs, didn't His Majesty think of arranging a few female officials to warm the bed for his son who had reached that age? Ning Hai knew that his highness valued this girl very much. Seeing that she was indeed full of doubts and did not seem to be teasing him on purpose, he did not want her to misunderstand at all, so he quickly corrected his expression and said, "Miss, you don't know that His Highness has always had a righteous mind. If he doesn't want to do something, even His Majesty can't force him."
"Before you appeared, His Highness was only concerned with state affairs." He smiled subtly and said, "After you appeared..."
Wei Hanzhang's face became hot from his laughter, so he interrupted, "Don't say any more."
The little girl's voice was extremely embarrassing and annoyed, and Xiao Junzhan, who had just arrived outside, heard it clearly. He paused slightly, looked over and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Ning Hai bowed hurriedly.
Wei Hanzhang sat there calmly, not even trying to stand up to greet him. He propped his chin with his hand and looked at the man walking towards him, his eyes sparkling as he asked, "Are you done yet?"
Xiao Junzhan lowered his eyes and looked at her. They stared at each other for a long time. He raised his hand, and Ning Hai lowered his head and retreated quietly.
There were only two of them in the room. Xiao Junzhan sat beside her, took her into his arms, and said softly, "What were you talking about just now? You need to dismiss the palace servants."
His tone was extremely calm, without any fluctuation, but with Wei Hanzhang's current understanding of him, he could still easily hear that something was wrong.
She blinked and said in disbelief, "Brother Boqian, you are not jealous of Ning Hai, are you?"
"Don't talk nonsense," Xiao Junzhan held her hand, squeezed it slowly, and said, "I'm not that stingy, I'm just asking you."
He kept saying that she was talking nonsense, but he kept asking her questions.
...He was determined to find out what she and Ning Hai had said in the hall.
Wei Hanzhang felt both amused and confused. He had known that he was addicted to making vinegar, but he had not expected that he would even drink the vinegar of the eunuchs.
This is really...
Reaching out to wrap his arms around his, Wei Hanzhang looked up at him for a long time, which made Xiao Junzhan purse his lips a little uncomfortably: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I was thinking..." Looking at her handsome husband, she finally couldn't help but teased, "Fortunately, I like you as much as Brother Boqian likes me. Otherwise, you said you are so jealous. If I like someone else, what would you do?"
It's finally begun~ This 'forgetting love' plot is a bit corny, but from the perspective of the female protagonist, it is really cool and exciting, and it is also the motivation for me to read this book~ After so much preparation, it's finally here!
Those of you who are used to seeing the male protagonist losing his memory, forgetting his feelings, and thus torturing the female protagonist can look forward to a different reversal.
Those who have followed my previous book should all know that this author is a bit of a "male abuser".
Of course, the main theme of this book is still sweet love, with only a little bit of abuse to the male protagonist.
I like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very much and I can’t bear to torture him for too long, believe me.
In addition, some readers said that the heroine was not smart enough, not decisive enough, and did not directly kill several female supporting characters. Let me explain it briefly. The heroine's character profile is very clear. She is a spoiled and bright daughter of a marquis's family.
She was born in a peaceful era and had never witnessed any conspiracy or intrigue after traveling through the book. The only injustices she had ever suffered came from her grandparents.
We have a God's perspective but the heroine does not. She cannot see the conspiracy of the female supporting characters, and she does not have paranoia. She will not suspect that the female supporting characters want to kill her just because of a few quarrels and send people to monitor them. Moreover, she has several female officials around her and secret guards in the dark. From the heroine's perspective, no matter how you look at it, she is safe.
Speaking of the male protagonist, he is a truly benevolent monarch. He is not a tyrant who kills people wantonly just because his woman is unhappy, nor will he kill people just because of conflicts among girls. This is too outrageous.
Finally, this book is mainly about sweet love. I can also write the heroine you want who is decisive, calm and wise (and I have already written it), but Ranran is not like that.
