Not only that, if the peace of Jiang State needs to be resolved through marriage, it would be a shame for them.
Chu Jinglin knew what the emperor meant, so he had no good feelings towards Hu Yansui.
Judging from Hu Yansui's words, the target of their cooperation this time should be the second prince.
Chu Jinglin is not afraid of who they choose. It is better for them not to do anything behind his back, otherwise he will not let Hu Yansui return to Beidi safely.
After the palace banquet, the emperor sent eunuch Dexi to convey a message, asking Han Xiao and the young master to stay tonight.
Fengyi Palace had already been cleaned, so Han Xiao could go there directly with the young master.
Han Xiao saw that it was Eunuch Dexi who came in person, and since there was nothing to do at the palace banquet, he simply took the young master back to rest.
Chu Jinglin followed the two of them. The young master held Han Xiao in one hand and Chu Jinglin in the other, and was as happy as a little bird.
Even Eunuch Dexi couldn't help but laugh when he saw the young master's happy look: "Is your Highness very happy today?"
The young master had a lot of good feelings for this kind-looking old man: "Yeah, the food in the palace is delicious, and I can see my brother, of course I am happy."
As he spoke, he couldn't help shaking his little head. Eunuch Dexi looked at the young master's face which was somewhat similar to Su Guijun's, and felt infinite regret in his heart. Su Guijun was also so happy before she entered the palace.
The group didn't say anything else. Eunuch Dexi brought the three of them to Fengyi Palace and then stood guard outside the door.
When they pushed open the heavy palace gate, they saw the emperor drinking tea in the yard, and he had even poured tea for them.
Hearing the sound of someone pushing the door open, the emperor didn't even raise his head: "Why are you taking so long?"
Chu Jinglin returned to his usual expressionless face: "Father."
"Well, sit down."
Han Xiao took the young master's hand and sat down. Chu Jinglin kept holding Chao Chao, and the emperor looked at Chu Jinglin eagerly.
"Give me Chao Chao, let me take a look."
Since the emperor said so, Chu Jinglin could only hand Chao Chao to him.
The young master looked at the emperor worriedly, wondering if his father would be able to hold the child. It would be bad for Xiao Chaochao if he fell.
The emperor seemed to be able to read the young master's mind. He could tell what he was thinking from his expression: "Ruanruan, don't worry. I was the one who held your brother when he was born."
As he said this, he weighed Chaochao, and the already lively Chaochao started giggling.
The young master scratched his head, not expecting the emperor to say it directly: "Isn't this what I'm worried about?"
"Don't worry, your father isn't that bad. Come and give grandpa a smile..."
The emperor's hearty words echoed throughout the courtyard. The young master turned around, walked to Han Xiao, took his hand, and looked at the emperor with complicated eyes.
The emperor never put on airs in front of him, but was just like an ordinary father.
Sometimes the young master doesn't know how to face him.
Sensing the young master's complicated emotions, Han Xiao held his hand tightly and comforted him silently.
After playing with Chao Chao for a while, the emperor held Chao Chao in his arms and said to the young master, "You seldom come to the palace to play, so why don't you stay tonight?"
As he spoke, he looked around the courtyard, a look of nostalgia on his face. "You can come to the palace more often in the future...see where your father lived."
The young master pursed his lips and said nothing. He didn't agree but he didn't refuse either.
The emperor did not urge him, but just called a few palace maids to come and clean up Fengyi Palace.
Chu Jinglin took the young master to the inner room with ease and familiarity: "You can sleep here tonight. I have arranged for someone to guard it. Don't worry. If anyone comes, just don't let them in."
Han Xiao was a little excited as it was his first time to spend the night in the palace, but it was a pity that he couldn't wander around freely. He heard that the emperor had collected many rare flowers and plants.
Although Han Xiao was not interested in these things, he also wanted to see the world and see the differences between the precious flowers and plants in ancient times and those in modern times.
With Chu Jinglin around, the young master quickly regained his usual carefree self and pulled Chu Jinglin aside to ask him to tell him more about Su Guijun.
The emperor sat aside and continued to play with Chaochao, but his eyes were secretly on the young master's back.
Han Xiao touched his nose and sat down next to the emperor: "Your Majesty, why don't you give Chao Chao to me? He's a little heavy now."
The emperor didn't say anything when he saw Han Xiao sitting next to him. He just straightened Chaochao's clothes and said, "How heavy can a child be? I think you two don't know how to raise a child. Why don't you send Chaochao to the palace?"
Han Xiao's heart suddenly started to ring with alarm bells: "Your Majesty, please think twice. Chaochao is still young and can't leave his father. It's better to wait until he grows up."
"Can't leave? Then Ruanruan can also come to the palace to accompany me. How can my harem, which is so big, not have room for both of them, father and son?"
The emperor said unhappily that whenever he thought about the fact that Han Xiao had kidnapped his youngest son, he felt upset.
Although Han Xiao is capable and cares very much about the young master, the emperor has this mentality and can only let him adjust himself.
Han Xiao secretly complained, how could his wife and son almost be gone?
After a moment's thought, Han Xiao continued, "If His Majesty misses Ruanruan and Chaochao, I will bring them to the palace often. If Ruanruan stays in the palace all the time, I'm afraid he won't be happy either, just like Su Guijun back then."
After saying this, Han Xiao carefully looked at the emperor's expression. As expected, when he heard Su Guijun's name, the emperor snorted coldly and did not continue the topic.
Han Xiao breathed a sigh of relief this time. His wife and child were saved. Otherwise, they might have to be in a long-distance relationship.
"I heard that the one from the Lu family is getting married?"
Han Xiao was stunned. He didn't expect that the emperor would still pay attention to the Lu family's affairs.
"Yes, it's a coincidence that I married Ruanruan's good friend. We grew up together, so coming to the capital together means I have a companion."
"Well, check his background and don't bring any random people in front of Ruanruan. Also, tell Ruanruan to stay away from Huo Xinyan..."
Han Xiao: \"......\"
Han Xiao thought to himself that I also wanted the young master to stay away from that woman Huo Xinyan, but the young master didn't want to.
Not only the young master, but now all the women and young men in the capital admire Huo Xinyan very much and regard him as a role model in their hearts.
Huo Xinyan is the first female general of Jiang State, letting other young ladies and young men know that women and men can also make a name for themselves.
"I can't do anything about this. Your Majesty, you should talk to Ruanruan yourself." Han Xiao said honestly.
The emperor glared at Han Xiao angrily and said that if Ruanruan listened to him, he would go and talk to Ruanruan.
