The young eunuch was flattered: "No, no, Your Majesty, I have to go back and talk to Eunuch Dexi, so I won't go in."
As he wiped the sweat from his forehead, Han Xiao pondered for a moment and thought that it was true. There were time limits for eunuchs and palace maids to leave and return to the palace.
He simply took out some silver from his pocket and handed it to the eunuch: "Please accept this as a token of appreciation. Buy some tea on the way back later."
This time the young eunuch didn't refuse, and the smile on his face became more genuine. "Thank you very much, Lord Marquis and Your Highness. The sun is scorching outside, please go in first."
Han Xiao nodded before putting his arm around the young master's shoulders and walking in.
As soon as the young master returned to his room, he threw himself onto the bed and sighed contentedly: "Ah, it's still comfortable at home. On the first day of the new year, I want to drink a cold drink..."
zI haven't had a drink for two days, so I'm sure my husband won't refuse.
Chuyi looked at Han Xiao, and Han Xiao nodded: "Go ahead, Ruanruan has been very well behaved these past two days, you can eat some."
The weather is hot now, so it’s good to eat something cold to cool down.
"Husband, I love you so much." As he said that, the young master hugged Han Xiao's neck and kissed him hard on the face.
Seeing the two of them sticking together again as if no one was around, Chuyi and Shiwu looked at each other and then went out silently.
When leaving, I didn’t forget to take Xiao Chaochao with me. Mr. Qinghe was talking about it last night.
It just so happened that Han Xiao came back and wanted to spend some time with the young master, so Xiao Chaochao was left to Mr. Qinghe's care first.
Han Xiao has had some free time these days after a long time. He doesn't have to worry about anything and can spend more time at home with the young master and Chaochao.
During this period, Lu Qingyun brought Liu Anlan here twice. Their wedding date was approaching, and Liu Anlan became nervous for some reason.
In order to ease his emotions, Lu Qingyun brought him to play with the young master, hoping that the young master would give him some guidance.
Han Xiao and Lu Qingyun were discussing Beidi's visit in the study.
The emperor has not agreed to Beidi's request, but he has not opposed it either, and Beidi is also prepared for a protracted war.
She actually settled down in the capital and went into the palace from time to time to harass the emperor.
The emperor has avoided them many times.
Speaking of Beidi, Lu Qingyun's expression became serious: "Humph, these barbarians are really toothless."
Han Xiao calmly drank his tea and said, "Your Majesty is not in a hurry, so why are you so anxious? Besides, let Hu Yansui go find the Second Prince. It's useless for the Second Prince to have no military power."
"You have a point, but Hu Yansui also wanted to marry the Fourth Princess, but the Fifth Prince used the excuse of a sparring match to get into a fight."
When Han Xiao heard the name of the Fourth Princess, he paused and looked at Lu Qingyun with dissatisfaction.
Lu Qingyun also knew about the little thing that happened between the Fourth Princess and Han Xiao, so he immediately shut up and stopped talking about her.
"Humph, this Huyan Sui is really greedy..." While he was in contact with the second prince, he wanted to marry the fourth princess.
It's really a fantasy, but Hu Yansui is not a bad person. At least he can make the second prince and the fifth prince become enemies.
Han Xiao leaned lazily in his chair and analyzed the current situation to Lu Qingyun.
Suddenly Han Xiao realized that although he didn't want to get involved in the princes' fight for Chu, he was now forced to get involved.
The more Lu Qingyun listened, the more it made sense. Finally, he couldn't help but slam his fists on the table: "Yes, that's the truth. Why didn't I think of it? Hehe, Han Xiao, you are still smarter."
Han Xiao rolled his eyes helplessly. If it weren't for the fact that this guy was about to get married and still looked so sad, he wouldn't have bothered to say anything.
Even if he didn't say it, Chu Jinglin, Lu Ming and others must have understood it very well. He just wanted to train Lu Qingyun.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. How are the preparations for your wedding with Liu Anlan going?"
A blush suddenly appeared on Lu Qingyun's cheeks, and Han Xiao felt uncomfortable seeing her shy look.
"It's almost time. An Lan's family will soon arrive in the capital. Brother, you must come and save me when the time comes."
Unlike Han Xiao, Lu Qingyun has a lot of bad friends in the capital. When his friends got married, Lu Qingyun did a lot of immoral things.
I'm afraid I'm in big trouble this time.
Lu Qingyun looked at Han Xiao with sympathy. Han Xiao had a frown on his face, but since his brother was getting married, he had to help, so he could only pinch his nose and nod.
By the way, I was thinking that I should call Ruan Xiuran as well. It’s better to share the joy with brothers than to enjoy it alone, right?
Seeing Han Xiao agreed, Lu Qingyun's face suddenly lit up with smiles: "Then it's settled. But don't worry, brother. You help me when I get married, and I will definitely help you when the autumn hunt comes..."
"Autumn hunting?" Han Xiao asked doubtfully.
Is Lu Qingyun, a businessman, also going to participate in the annual autumn hunt?
"Yes, the Autumn Hunt. Our Lu family has also been invited this time. Every year's Autumn Hunt is not only a time for these powerful people to show off, but we royal merchants also have a place. Han Xiao, you will go, right?" Lu Qingyun suddenly asked uncertainly.
Han Xiao nodded. Of course he would go. Chu Jinglin had told him many times.
Besides, the young master has been training for the autumn hunt for so long. If Han Xiao doesn't go, the young master will probably bite him to death.
"Of course, I thought the autumn hunt was just for His Majesty to have fun." It seems that I was still influenced by the TV series.
Han Xiao always thought that the autumn hunting was just for the emperor, with officials accompanying him and then going home after the hunting.
Lu Qingyun looked at Han Xiao helplessly with an indifferent expression, and pulled Han Xiao aside to explain to him what the autumn hunt was all about.
Moreover, Beidi will also participate in this autumn hunting. In the past, the first place would always come from the prince. If a prince wins, the reward he will receive will definitely exceed your expectations.
The Beidi were a nation of nomads who lived with wild beasts all year round. When it came to hunting, the Beidi had an advantage over the Jiang State.
Lu Qingyun felt that Beidi might want to take advantage of the autumn hunting incident to make conditions with the emperor.
There were even rumors in the palace that the emperor would choose the winner of this autumn hunt as the crown prince.
So this autumn hunting was different from usual ones, and several princes were practicing secretly.
There is no need to say much about the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince. Their riding and archery skills are almost the same, but the Fifth Prince has the support of General Li of the Li family.
Whether General Huo would help the Third Prince was another matter.
As for the second prince, he had long been drained of his body by alcohol and sex, and Lu Qingyun didn't even mention him.
Han Xiao tapped his fingers on the table. "Have you ever considered that Beidi would help the Second Prince?"
Lu Qingyun was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought about this question.
"That shouldn't be the case. Why doesn't Hu Yansui use such a good opportunity himself?"
