"Speaking of which, my teacher has always been relatively low-key. Even when I accepted you as my disciple over a decade ago, I didn't tell anyone. I only found out after you came to the capital. I just didn't expect it to be such a coincidence..."
The emperor said this and looked at Han Mingyuan meaningfully.
Then he continued, "But now it's good. You are now qualified to enter the court. Han Xiao... Han Xiao is also a good boy. He himself can be a help to Jing Lin. From now on, Junior Brother, you can bring your family to visit me often. How about that?"
After all, the emperor still wanted him to bring the young master into the palace. Han Mingyuan couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking. He didn't know whether he wanted to recognize the young master or just wanted to meet him.
Han Mingyuan immediately stood up, bent down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
The emperor nodded in satisfaction, and then asked Han Mingyuan openly and secretly about other things about the young master, including what he liked to eat, what he liked to wear, and what his hobbies were. Basically, he found out everything.
Han Mingyuan didn't dare to hide anything, and basically he told whatever the emperor asked. Anyway, these were not secrets, and even if he didn't say it, the emperor would have a way to know.
The two chatted for nearly an hour, and it was not until Eunuch Dexi came to remind him that the emperor came to his senses and let Han Mingyuan go back.
It was Eunuch Dexi who personally sent Han Mingyuan out. Now the whole capital knew that the emperor had a different view of Han Mingyuan.
Many powerful people began to have some ulterior motives.
On this day, Han Xiao was holding his child in the garden to bask in the sun, and the young master was sitting in a rocking chair beside him, watching the father and son.
Suddenly a servant came to Han Xiao and said, "Master, someone is outside and he wants to see you."
Although Han Xiao was granted the title of Marquis of Qingping, his servants still addressed him as "Young Master."
"Someone is looking for my dad? Where is my dad?" Han Xiao said while holding the child.
"The master is in the study with Mr. Qinghe..."
It turned out that he was with Mr. Qinghe. He must be doing something important, so it would be better not to disturb him. Han Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go see who is looking for my father."
The servant said awkwardly: "It's Princess Wuyang..."
Han Xiao's face changed after hearing this. He knew that this Princess Wuyang was the cousin of the current emperor. Her husband died early and she had nothing to do. Later, she liked to match people up. Many marriages of powerful families in the capital were arranged by her.
I don’t know what he wants to do when he comes to the Han family today. Is he here to propose marriage to his father?
His father had just finished the palace examination, and although the ranking had not yet been announced, everyone knew about it when Eunuch Dexi escorted Han Mingyuan out of the palace.
Han Xiao thought about it and handed Chao Chao to Chu Yi. He gently kissed the young master's forehead and said, "I'll be away for a while. Ruan Ruan, play with Chao Chao. I'll be back soon."
The young master pouted in dissatisfaction: "Husband, why are there people looking for you again? They are so annoying..."
It's no wonder that the young master was angry. The Han family has been in turmoil in recent days. They all came to look for Han Mingyuan, but they knew it was inconvenient to disturb Han Mingyuan because he was preparing for the exam, so they simply came to look for Han Xiao.
Han Xiao said helplessly, "It will be done soon. Can you wait for me for a moment, Ruanruan?"
The young master was not the kind of person who would make trouble for no reason. He knew that he had to see the Princess Wuyang. He sighed softly, lamenting that his husband must be in a really bad mood. He let go of Han Xiao's hand and told him to go quickly.
The sooner you go, the sooner you can come back. He still wants to see Han Xiao taking Chaochao out to play.
Seeing that the young master was not angry, Han Xiao kissed the young master's lips again before leaving with satisfaction.
The other people in the courtyard lowered their heads sensibly, pretending that they saw nothing. They were already used to the young master's actions in the Han family.
"Let's go." Han Xiao's face changed in an instant.
The servant quickly led Han Xiao to the front yard.
Princess Wuyang was sitting bored in the living room, looking at the Han family's wealth. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became.
It seems that the Han family is not a bunch of country bumpkins like the Zhang family.
Princess Wuyang was also a person who had seen the world. Looking at the things used by the Han family, she knew that Han Xiao was at least not short of money.
Moreover, Han Xiao was granted the title of marquis, and Han Mingyuan now had the emperor's favor. Everyone knew that the Han family was going to become prosperous.
It’s no wonder that the Zhang family invited him out as a favor.
When Han Xiao came in, he saw Princess Wuyang sitting in the main seat. Princess Wuyang looked to be in her thirties, very young. Her facial features were not particularly stunning. She could only be described as an ordinary beauty, but her demeanor was very impressive.
"Han Xiao meets Princess Wuyang."
Princess Wuyang looked at Han Xiao for a moment before she covered her mouth and smiled, "Hurry up and get up. You don't have to be so polite. I just came over to see you today. I hope I didn't disturb you..."
After hearing this, Han Xiao stood up, lifted his robe and sat down. The maids brought him tea and snacks.
Princess Wuyang looked at the imposing Han Xiao and sighed in her heart. She didn't know what the Zhang family was thinking. Han Xiao was so outstanding, so why didn't they like him?
Now Han Mingyuan didn't come, but Han Xiao came. Princess Wuyang didn't know how to start for a moment. She couldn't say that a concubine's daughter of the Zhang family had a special liking for your father and wanted to marry your father.
Princess Wuyang sighed again, picked up the tea, took a sip, and then said, "Where's your father? This princess mainly wants to talk to your father today."
"My father has something to do with Mr. Qinghe recently, so he won't meet guests." Han Xiao said calmly.
"Is that so? Then..."
"It's the same if Princess tells me anything. I'll tell my father when he's done with his work." Han Xiao wanted to go back to his wife as soon as possible and had no intention of testing the waters with Princess Wuyang.
"Ahem, whatever you take is a private matter. Let me tell you... that's fine." Princess Wuyang said with difficulty. If she hadn't owed the Zhang family a big favor when she was young, she would not have come here to do such a thing.
Although she felt a bit disgusted with the Zhang family, Princess Wuyang still told Han Xiao the purpose of her visit: "Han Xiao, do you know the Minister of Rites, Mr. Zhang?"
"Lord Zhang? I don't know much about you. It seems that we have no relationship with the Zhang family." Han Xiao raised his eyebrows and said to Princess Wuyang.
"Well, I know this. Minister Zhang has a concubine's daughter in his family. She is so beautiful, like a fairy in a painting..."
"Princess Wuyang, please speak directly if you have anything to say. We are not curious about the inner chambers of the Zhang family."
Han Xiao said coldly.
Princess Wuyang's expression also changed. She didn't expect Han Xiao to be so disrespectful.
