At least we can’t let the Jiang family return to their hometown in Xuzhou in disgrace after losing their titles for three generations.

The family has a title, but the male members do not hold high official positions, so to break into the circle of aristocratic families in the capital, one can only rely on the marriage of female relatives.

Wei Hanzhang had also heard Jiang talk about this.

The Jiang family moved back to the capital. Apart from Wei Hanzhang, the happiest person was Jiang. After receiving the letter from the Jiang family in the capital, she couldn't wait to stay in the summer palace and wanted to go back immediately to arrange everything for her parents' home.

However, the Jiang family of this generation has shown signs of decline. Wei Hanzhang's two uncles are both low-ranking officials. This time the family came to the capital, but the two uncles were still officials and had to stay in Xuzhou.

The Jiang family was one of the best in Xuzhou, but their foundation in the capital was not enough. As the wife of Duke Weiguo, Jiang would naturally help her family to break into the circle of aristocratic families. It was necessary for her to take the other wives of the Jiang family out for more social activities.

But even if the Jiang family attended a hundred banquets, they might not be able to catch the eyes of those aristocratic families with centuries of heritage.

Wei Hanzhang somewhat understood what he meant.

As the future Crown Princess, if she takes good care of the Jiang family, others will not dare to treat them disrespectfully.

And the best care is to involve the Jiang family in everything.

For example, the autumn hunting he just mentioned.

…Sure enough, after going around in circles, I still wanted to coax myself out.

Wei Hanzhang was speechless, but he knew that what he said was right, so he said, "Then I'll go. I'll bring a few cousins ​​from my maternal grandparents' family with me. They're also good at riding."

Xiao Junzhan nodded with a smile and said, "All Jiang family members, regardless of gender, can go along and join in the fun."

Since she is close to the Jiang family, he is willing to give the Jiang family extra respect out of love for her.

This man was indifferent by nature and had not shown much favor to his own maternal grandparents, but he considered so much for the Jiang family, which touched Wei Hanzhang.

Her eyes softened a little, but then she recalled his frivolous behavior in the car just now, and she froze immediately and quickly turned her face away.

The idea that a gentleman is as pure as jade, noble and self-disciplined, is all fake.

This is a lustful and stinky man! Xiao Junzhan didn't know that the little girl was making up stories about him in her mind. He forgot to glance at the camp that had already entered his field of vision, and seemed to remember something, and said: "The front is the camp. I remember there is a natural hot spring in this area. After a long journey, do you want to go and relax?"

The summer palace was built over many years and has served several emperors. The journey from the palace to the capital is only a few days. There are post stations and tents along the way for overnight stays, all of which belong to the royal family and have been well planned.

Wei Hanzhang was indeed a little tired after not riding a horse for a long time, but he still looked at him warily and said, "No."

Xiao Junzhan couldn't help laughing when he saw her look, thinking that he really scared this girl.

He pulled the reins and dismounted, then walked to her horse with a smile. Before Wei Hanzhang could react, he carried her off the horse.

In front of the tent, local officials and guards were already waiting. When they saw Xiao Junzhan coming, they all bowed and were about to greet him, but when they saw this scene, they stopped and lowered their heads, not daring to look again.

With so many people around, Wei Hanzhang couldn't argue with him, so she just stood there stiffly, letting him carry her off the horse.

Xiao Junzhan dismissed everyone and took her into his tent.

It is spacious and clean inside, with few furnishings except for a few basic tables, chairs and bookshelves.

The table was laid with fresh snacks, fruits, and a pot of boiling tea.

“……”Wei Hanzhang glanced at him and said nothing.

Xiao Junzhan added: "Don't disbelieve me. You were so brave before. I didn't do anything, but you were scared."

So courageous...

Thinking of how he had been so daring before, and how he had always seriously stopped her from kissing and touching him, Wei Hanzhang's face suddenly turned bad, "I won't do that again in the future, and you are not allowed to..."

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Junzhan interrupted him and said, "No."

She stared with wide eyes. Wasn't this man just apologizing? Why is he doing it again now? Xiao Junzhan sighed softly when she stared at him. He was afraid of scaring her again, so he didn't try to teach her about men and women. He just said helplessly: "Ran Ran, I am a man."

...What's wrong with men? Wei Hanzhang vaguely understood, and her face blushed unconsciously. She really didn't want to discuss the physiological differences between men and women with him, so she asked instead: "Why did you deliberately get close to me in front of several ministers?"

He was obviously not a dissolute person, and he was not reckless even in front of her maid...

Xiao Junzhan did not answer. He raised his hand to pour her a cup of hot tea, and handed her a piece of tea cake, saying with a smile: "The mint cake here tastes good with hot tea. You didn't eat much for lunch, so try it."

Wei Hanzhang saw that he didn't want to answer, so he stared at him for a while and suddenly asked, "Is Chen Zishu younger than you?"

Hearing her mention the name of someone else and asking this kind of question, Xiao Junzhan paused with a smile on his face, which slowly disappeared into a straight line, and said, "How many years younger is he? What does Ranran want to say?"

Wei Hanzhang also realized that his question was abrupt, and he unconsciously picked up a piece of mint cake to ease the embarrassment. When he raised his hand again, he looked into his cold eyes, was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's not what you think."

Xiao Junzhan hummed and said calmly: "Ran Ran knows what I'm thinking?"

"..." Wei Hanzhang was silent for a moment, then said speechlessly: "I just think you did that in front of the ministers on purpose because of Chen Zishu."

Xiao Junzhan didn't say yes or no. He lowered his eyes for a few breaths before saying, "So many ministers are here, why did you only see Chen Zishu? Is it because you think he is different from the others?"

…Because I felt different, I subconsciously thought that he should mind.

Wei Hanzhang was startled by his words. How could he dare to admit it? He hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense. I know my identity very well. Even if I don't want to get close to you because of the poison, I won't be interested in other men. Do you really think I am a fickle person?"

"Besides, I didn't see Chen Zishu. He was the only one I knew among those people." Unexpectedly, he really cared about Chen Zishu. Wei Hanzhang frowned and explained, "Don't worry, no matter how bold I am, I know what I shouldn't do."

Xiao Junzhan laughed when he heard this. He put down the snacks in his hand, looked up and said with a smile: "Ranran, why don't you tell me what you shouldn't do so that I can judge for you."

"..." Wei Hanzhang did not avoid answering, but looked him in the eye and said frankly: "I will always remember that I am your appointed Crown Princess and will not be interested in other men. You don't have to be jealous all the time."

There are still two chapters left, and I plan to write them after I wake up. I have been having jet lag and my days and nights are reversed lately, so I will jump back next month. In the last few days of this month, I will give you more updates. Next month I have to take care of the old book as well.

Speaking of old books, a few days ago a Qidian reader suddenly appeared in the old book comment section, complaining and cursing all the way. I thought to myself, 'Fuck, another hater comes.'

As a result, this reader complained while subscribing. It seems that he has subscribed to all the more than one million words...

What's even more amazing is that after reading the old book, she seemed to fall in love with the writing style of this author. I see she is also following this new book. Is this perhaps what people say, the deeper the love, the more severe the criticism? 　　I thought she was so cute at the time. Compared with the readers who follow the book silently, this kind of readers who curse and swear seem more interesting...

By the way, old books do have some magic. When the book was updated last year, several readers started complaining about the heroine Aquaman in July. They kept following the book while complaining, and you could still see their complaints in the comment section in December (which was related to the increasingly explosive plot)...but they were there every time I asked for an update.

If you like it, you like it very much. If you don’t like it, you can criticize it while liking it~~~ 　　I will finish it next month~~~ 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
