Upon hearing this, Wei Hanzhang's first thought was: "Does this count as abusing your power for personal gain?"
"...Not really," Xiao Junzhan laughed, "It has always been the custom to give the Queen's maternal family the title of En. I plan to give the Wei Mansion some real power in addition to giving them a title. Although it's still early, it's time to start promoting them."
There is no way. The Wei family, including Wei Ping, the head of the family, and his sons, all hold marginalized official positions. They have no real power and no say in the court.
His Ran Ran was destined to be an unparalleled queen of grace and favor. Even to show her honor and favor, her mother's family could not remain so mediocre.
"Ranran, rest assured. I won't be nepotistic and ask your father to do a position he is not qualified for." Xiao Junzhan said, "Compared with your uncles, your father is the most talented of this generation in the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion. Let him train for a few years before entrusting him with important tasks."
He had thought of every aspect very carefully, but Wei Hanzhang's expression changed when he heard it.
Increase the title of Wei Mansion? Now the Wei family is already a marquisate, wouldn't it become a duke's mansion after the title is increased? Thinking of the harsh treatment Wei Ping and Liu had given her last night, Wei Hanzhang suddenly felt a little reluctant.
Why? Why were they so utilitarian and treated her harshly after her engagement was broken off? Just because they were her blood-related grandparents, should they show her favor? In Wei Hanzhang's opinion, even if she became the queen in the future, it would have nothing to do with Wei Ping and the others.
She looked unhappy. Seeing this, Xiao Junzhan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"You also know that I didn't grow up in the Wei family, and I didn't have a very good impression of the Wei family after returning to Beijing," Wei Hanzhang said frankly, "Except for my parents, the other elders in the Wei family have no love for me."
She became more and more dissatisfied as she spoke, and said angrily: "...I don't want you to promote them because of me at all."
Xiao Junzhan reached out and touched her slightly pouting lips, coaxing: "Ranran, be good, don't be like this, I will want to kiss you."
"..." Wei Hanzhang quickly pursed his lips and glared at him angrily, "I'm talking to you about serious matters, stop being so slick!"
"You still say you haven't been wronged?" The girl's eyes were cute and coquettish. Xiao Junzhan was slightly startled by her glare. He couldn't help but lean over and kiss her eyebrows and eyes, saying lovingly: "Our Ranran is such a generous girl, she even remembers the grievances."
When they first met, Ning Hai rashly lifted her veil, causing her jade hairpin to break, causing her hair to fly apart in front of a group of strange men, but his Ran Ran was never really angry.
But now she is quite resentful towards the elders of the Wei family, which shows how excessive Wei Ping, as a grandfather, was to his own granddaughter.
"Since they are not good to Ran Ran, then bypass them and only promote my father-in-law... and the Jiang family." Xiao Junzhan lowered his eyes to look at her, his eyes full of tenderness, and said softly: "I have issued an edict to exempt your uncle's family from exile. In addition, I have conferred the title of Cheng En Bo on your grandfather, granted him a mansion, and summoned the Jiang family to live in Beijing. How about that?"
"So soon?" Wei Hanzhang was delighted. She supported his chest with her hands and sat up straight, and said excitedly, "I'm not the queen yet. Can you grant me favor to the Jiang family so soon?"
"Ran Ran wants to be the queen now?" Xiao Junzhan held her waist, slightly inward, and said thoughtfully: "It's not impossible. The ceremony of welcoming the queen is indeed more grand."
"...That's not what I meant." Wei Hanzhang said helplessly: "Please don't misinterpret my words, okay? Besides, I'm still young and don't want to marry you so soon. Don't make it sound like our wedding is imminent."
She is only fifteen now. According to Jiang's idea, she has to wait until she is eighteen before getting married. There are still three years left.
"That won't do." Xiao Junzhan smiled and said, "Ranran, I can't wait too long. You have to enter the palace after a new year at the latest."
Wei Hanzhang raised his eyes to look at him: "What do you mean by that?"
Xiao Junzhan just smiled, his expression as gentle as ever, and said, "Ran Ran knows."
"...Shut up!" Wei Hanzhang's throat was about to smoke from his laughter. She was about to jump up from him, but the hand on her waist held her tightly.
"Good girl, don't move." Xiao Junzhan took a deep breath, hugged her tightly, and sighed, "I really don't want to be impolite."
He wanted so much to leave her with the image of a restrained and polite gentleman, but it was too difficult. The self-control that he had always been proud of collapsed in an instant in front of this girl.
Xiao Junzhan stroked her hair and said helplessly: "This is beyond my control."
Wei Hanzhang's shoulders trembled slightly with shame, "I'll be scared if you do this."
"...Ranran, don't be afraid. I can still bear it." Xiao Junzhan didn't want to force her at all. He lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, coaxing her: "I promise I won't offend you at all."
Wei Hanzhang: “…”
His gentle touch patted her shoulder, and her nose was filled with his pleasant cool fragrance. Wei Hanzhang raised her eyes quietly, and met Xiao Junzhan's gentle gaze.
Her face suddenly turned red again, and she hesitated, "...Can you let me go?"
Xiao Junzhan looked at her deeply and said, "I can't bear to let go."
Wei Hanzhang was blocked by him and choked immediately. He said angrily: "Then you hold it."
Since I couldn't get down anyway, I just curled up in his arms, closed my eyes and ignored him.
It was afternoon and Wei Hanzhang had just finished his meal. The room was cool and comfortable, and the sound of his strong heartbeat could be heard in his ears.
As she listened, she actually fell asleep.
Xiao Junzhan lowered his eyes to look at the girl who was sleeping soundly and defenselessly in his arms. There was a surge of dark color in his eyes. He stared at her for a long time. He lifted her chin and lowered his head to touch the red spot.
He knew it was not right to do so, but so what, she would be his sooner or later.
What's wrong with tasting it first? ………………
In the cool room, a man with a stern face was sitting cross-legged beside the desk by the window. He had his back straight, holding a memorial and slowly flipping through it. His demeanor was truly dignified and self-possessed.
Except for the occasional sound of shuffling papers, the room was very quiet.
But if you move your eyes down a little, you can see a charming girl sleeping soundly with her head resting on the man's legs.
The girl was wearing a light summer dress, lying on her side with one hand on the man's waist. Her sleeves had slipped down, revealing half of her tender wrist, while the man held her other hand in his palm and played with it, and from time to time he would place it on his lips for a kiss.
When Ning Hai came in tiptoeing with his back bent, he caught sight of this scene out of the corner of his eye. His heart skipped a beat and he bent his waist even lower.
He whispered, "Your Highness, Nagato is waiting outside to see you."
