As long as He Xiangdi is willing to promote his concubine to a co-wife, Zhang Shaoqi will give enough face to the He family and invite He Xiangdi back.
No one expected that He Xiangdi, who was already pregnant and hadn't even settled down yet, was so angry at Zhang Shaoqi that she lost the baby.
Now both the Zhang and He families were unwilling to do so, especially the Zhang family, who directly locked up Zhang Shaoqi in the ancestral hall. As for the concubine, she thought she could become a phoenix with the help of the child, but the child was killed by He Xiangdi. Zhang Shaoqi was also locked up and had to be sent away by the Zhang family.
No matter how much Zhang Shaoqi cried and shouted in the ancestral hall, it was of no use. The concubine was still sent away, and no one knew where she was sent to.
Anyone who cares understands that because he caused such a big mess between the Zhang and He families, the Zhang family will definitely not forgive him.
He Xiangdi had just had a miscarriage and didn't want to see Zhang Shaoqi, so she simply stayed at the He family.
The Zhang family was in the wrong, and even the mistress of the Zhang family had to lower herself to ask He Xiangdi to come back. This was related to the reputation of the Zhang family. If He Xiangdi didn't come back and was reported by someone with ulterior motives, Zhang Yuanzhong would be in big trouble.
No matter how the Zhang family tries to make amends, the jokes about the Zhang family are enough for people in the capital to gossip about for a while.
It was because the emperor gave Zhang Yuanzhong a few days off to let him sort out his family affairs that the Zhang family's face was directly brought to the court.
This is also the reason why Chu Jinglin is grateful to Han Xiao.
After the young master finished speaking, Han Xiao poured him a glass of warm water at the right time: "Come, take a sip and then talk slowly."
After drinking a glass of water, the young master had almost finished speaking. He looked at Han Xiao with sparkling eyes: "These are all what Sister Xinyan told me. Sister Xinyan's information must be accurate, brother, don't you think so?"
Chu Jinglin smiled and nodded. He had no idea that this terrible woman, Huo Xinyan, would talk so much to the young master.
"Yes, it seems that Ruanruan knows a lot. From now on, when you see He Xiangdi, you should stay away from him, okay?" Chu Jinglin looked at the cute appearance of the young master and couldn't help rubbing the young master's head.
The young master clenched his fists seriously and nodded: "I know, they are all bad guys, and I won't play with Chen Jiabao."
"That's good." Chu Jinglin also knew that the young master would have no friends after coming to the capital.
And Huo Xinyan couldn't always accompany the young master, so the young master was quite lonely when Han Xiao was not at home.
But the young master didn't think so. When he was in Qingping Town, he often played alone. Occasionally, Liu Anlan would come to accompany the young master to read storybooks to relieve his boredom.
Now that he has arrived in the capital, the young master often writes to Liu Anlan. He doesn't know how Liu Anlan is doing.
The three of them sat together and chatted for a while about what had happened recently in the capital. Han Xiao didn't know most of what was happening, and he didn't pay much attention to it. He was completely focused on the young master.
Chu Jinglin said that the cement road could be constructed as planned in March. Chu Jinglin also participated in this matter. If it is done well, it will be a great achievement and will also be helpful in competing for the position of crown prince.
The Spring Festival is scheduled for March, so Han Mingyuan doesn’t have much time left.
Han Xiao is completely confident in Han Mingyuan. With Mr. Qinghe in charge, Han Mingyuan will have no problem getting a second-class grade.
Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Jinglin couldn't stay any longer and planned to go back.
Hearing that Chu Jinglin was going back, the young master suddenly felt lost and reluctantly pulled Chu Jinglin's sleeve: "Ah, brother, can't you stay a little longer? Let's have lunch first, okay?"
Looking at the pitiful look of the young master, Chu Jinglin almost agreed.
But considering that the young master's identity is not clear yet, it is not appropriate to be so blatant. It is better to go back early.
"I'll come to see you next time. Besides, Han Xiao is now the Marquis of Qingping. Maybe we'll meet in the palace again in the future."
The young master pursed his lips, his eyes slightly reddened, and he couldn't help but hugged Chu Jinglin's waist and said sullenly: "I don't want to go to the palace. Daddy doesn't like it there, and you don't like it there either, brother. Don't go there, Ruanruan."
The young master's willful tone made Chu Jinglin's heart tremble. He couldn't help but hug the young master back and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Well, if you don't like us, don't go. Wait for me to come out to find you..."
Han Xiao sighed, pulled the young master back, and lifted up the young master's chin. His entire face was covered with tears.
Han Xiao didn't mind wiping the young master's face with his sleeve. "Okay, it's okay. When Third Brother moves out, you can go play with him every day."
The young master stopped crying, but his little hand still secretly grabbed the corner of Chu Jinglin's clothes.
He held Chu Jinglin's clothes and walked him out the door before the young master let go of his hand.
Before leaving, the young master handed Chu Jinglin a string of Buddhist beads: "Brother, this is what my husband asked for me from Guoan Temple. You must take it well."
Chu Jinglin held the Buddhist beads carefully and said, "Okay, don't worry. It's windy outside, so hurry back with Han Xiao."
After saying this, he got on the carriage without looking back, for he was afraid that if he stayed any longer he would not be able to move forward.
Han Xiao waited until the carriage had gone far away before he put his arm around the young master's waist and said, "Okay, now that everyone is gone, let's go back."
"Okay, my husband, do you think my brother will really move out in the future?"
Han Xiao thought about it and felt that it was not certain. He was clearly trying to coax the young master just now, and he felt a little embarrassed now that the young master asked him. If the young master found out that he was lying to him, something big would definitely happen.
After a moment's silence, Han Xiao said carefully, "Maybe. If Third Brother becomes the crown prince, he will be second only to the emperor and above everyone else. He can do whatever he wants, and no one except the emperor can bully him."
"Will the emperor bully him?" The young master didn't particularly understand the complicated officialdom, and the questions he asked were very naive.
Han Xiao frowned and said, "How should I put it? Generally speaking, they won't bully him, but that may not be the case during the second move."
It seems that the emperor is good to the young master now, but not necessarily to Chu Jinglin.
I had heard from Lu Ming before that Chu Jinglin had been having a hard time in recent years.
If it weren't for the people left behind by the former queen to protect Chu Jinglin, it would be a question whether Chu Jinglin could grow up safely.
Moreover, the three princes are now equally matched, and the emperor is probably involved.
The little prince under Empress Zhang broke the current deadlock, and now the most anxious one is the second prince.
Because of the appearance of the little prince, there was an inexplicable rift between the second prince and Empress Zhang.
The young master nodded, not quite understanding. "Then I hope that brother will just come with us. Let's leave here and find a place where no one knows us. That way, we won't have so many troubles, and our family can be together every day."
Listening to the young master's innocent words, Han Xiao couldn't help but touch the young master's hair.
