Chapter 288(1/2)

The Duke of Ning Guo was hoping that the marriage would be accomplished. With the engagement of the Han family, the Duke of Guo would not easily abolish the position of prince. The Duke of Guo didn't care which legitimate son inherited the family business, but the Duke of Guo was softer and had a deeper relationship with the eldest son who had been raised by his childhood.

So after entering the palace again, the long-sick queen also gave the Han family a handwritten handwriting of the heavenly marriage.

Now, the marriage is almost certain.

The Duke Anguo Mansion also invited Mrs. Han to go to the mansion to discuss the marriage, and Chen Miaoying, as his daughter-in-law, also accompanied her.

Mrs. Han still couldn't handle the communication between these noble ladies. Fortunately, Chen Miaoying, a virtuous daughter-in-law, also had her.

Chen Miaoying intentionally mentioned the outer room of Prince Anguo, but the Duke's wife Gu Zuoyan changed the subject. Chen Miaoying saw it and knew that it had not been handled yet. Otherwise, the Duke's wife would have been sent away to make the Han family feel at ease.

When he was at his parents' home, Chen Miaoying also talked about this.

Tang Wanyue also felt sympathy for Miss Han. She believed that the marriage was going well and hoped that others would be the same, especially this little girl from the Han family who was in-laws.

Zhu was a little jealous, "I think Duke An's mansion is also good. Miaoying's sister-in-law will be the prince's wife once she married. When the Duke is a hundred years later, she will be the first-class Duke."

There was a bit of envy in her tone. It was a pity that she didn't have one more daughter, otherwise it would be great if she could get married.

When Chen's father heard this, he was angry and scolded, "Who is the son-in-law? He also needs to climb up to the marriage of Duke Anguo Mansion."

Zhu's eyes were shallow, and he was blinded by the name of a Duke's Mansion. However, Chen's father was at least a court official in the capital, so he could see clearly. With Han Jinyu, in another twenty years, Duke An would probably not be as good as the Han family, so there was nothing to do.

Chen Miaoying was also a little annoyed. If her husband heard this, he would definitely be dissatisfied with his mother, let alone mother-in-law.

But the person who was talking about it was her biological mother, and she couldn't argue with her, so she could only hope that her father would persuade her more.

Tang Wanyue is the same. As a daughter-in-law, she doesn't know how to say anything, but she feels that her mother-in-law is too merciless, and that is the daughter of the Han family. The family is feeling sorry for her daughter, so what does it mean to be happy here?

Zhu has been used to enjoying it over the years, and Chen's father respected her because his children also respected her. He was sometimes angry so tough. Zhu was also a little dissatisfied, "What I said is wrong. Is there anything wrong with marrying a Duke and Marquis Xiangui? Have you forgotten how you got this official now?"

"You..." When the wife pointed it out so bluntly, Chen's father's face turned blue and white, and red.

Tang Wanyue also blushed a little. Although she was simple, she didn't know anything.

Zhu was very confident and didn't care about hurting Chen's father's face. The main reason was that several children gave her the confidence. If she hadn't given her son so handsomely, how could she have reached a good marriage like Zhenwuhou? As for Chen's father, who was a pedantic and noble, how could he achieve great achievements?

"Besides, this is Your Majesty's marriage, and it can be taken back." Zhu said proudly.

But a few days later, Zhu was slapped in the face.

Prince Anguo was infatuated. When he reached this point, he had to elope with the woman in the outdoor room, and then he was caught outside the city that night.

Then the next day the evidence was sent to the emperor's case by Han Jinyu.

There were all scandals like elopement. There was also a Marquis of Zhenwu talking to the Han family, saying that the Han family girl might be a widow after marrying, etc. The emperor was soft-hearted and issued an imperial edict saying that the prince of Anguo was corrupt and could not bear to be a good match. He canceled the marriage and removed the position of prince.

As for how the prince who was strictly guarded by Anguo Public Relations in the yard escaped and eloped with the outdoor room, Han Jinyu and Zhenwuhou knew it very well.

Han Wenqi's reputation was damaged. The Han family was still preparing to look at others. Now it may take a few years to wait, and the matter will fade away.

In addition, "I owe Zhenwu Hou a kindness to this matter." Han Jinyu asked his wife to tell Zhenwu Hou that although this matter was his plan, it would be difficult to achieve without Zhenwu Hou's help. In the end, Zhenwu Hou was acting like a scoundrel in front of His Majesty, which led to the cancellation of the engagement.

Although Han Jinyu was trusted and trusted by the emperor, he was very sensible and did not form cliques and follow the crowd. As a civil servant, he was not very close to the nobles like Zhenwuhou who held military power. But the kindness he owed this time was also real, and he was not easy to refuse if Zhenwuhou asked him for help in the future.

Zhenwuhou Tang Xiong was also very satisfied with Han Jinyu's reply.

Zhenwu Hou was also smart, otherwise why would they interfere with the Han family's marriage? Although the Chen family was his precious granddaughter's in-laws' family, they were not very capable. The only one who could really make Zhenwu Hou Tang Xiong look at him was Han Jinyu. He also specially reminded the children in the family to get along with Han Jinyu more.

At the same time, Xiao Zhaoyi poured tea and grinding ink for His Majesty, and seemed to be inadvertently saying, "Marquis Zhenwu has a good relationship with Lord Han, and even Lord Han's sister is willing to help with the marriage."

The emperor was still feeling a little embarrassed about his orders changing every day, but when he heard the words of his beloved concubine, he still patiently explained, "Marquis Zhenwu and Han Aiqing are also considered to have some in-law relationship."

As the emperor, he was busy with so many state affairs every day and handled so many state affairs, and he was not so clear about the marriage between nobles and court officials. Han Jinyu was also a good minister he loved. The Zhenwu Hou held military power in his hands, so the emperor would remember it in his heart.

"I remember it seems like Mrs. Han Aiqing's younger brother, who married the granddaughter of Zhenwuhou."

"I don't know which family is so lucky. They have a good son-in-law like Lord Han and a granddaughter of Zhenwuhou." Xiao Zhaoyi smiled like a flower, and there was no sign of hatred that she gritted her teeth.

"This..." the emperor thought, and he really had no impression.

"It's the Chen family." Finally I remembered it, thanks to the old hooligan Tang Xiong, the Marquis of Zhenwu, many times in front of him, asked His Majesty to give his grandson-in-law Chen Hui a promotion. His granddaughter, who was so beloved as a treasure, was already a low marriage. If Chen Hui did not get promoted, his granddaughter would not even have an imperial decree, which would be even more a loss.

Zhenwuhou's family was loyal to the emperor and served the country and fought on the battlefield, and the emperor was not willing to give him such face.

Chen's father also had Zhenwu Hou promoted his in-laws and promoted him to an official in Beijing. The emperor really couldn't say what achievements he had.

The emperor thought about it and it would be fine, just give Han Aiqing and Zhenwuhou Mansion a face.

The emperor was not good at telling his beloved concubine, so he simply ignored the topic of Chen's family.

Xiao Zhaoyi did not continue to talk to the Chen family, and said with a smile, "Listen to Your Majesty, Lord Han and Zhenwuhou are also relatives, and they are both their own family members, so it is not surprising that they will help."

The emperor was about to nod, but he paused.

The military generals and nobles he relied on and the young ministers he admired were as close as a family, so why didn't it sound so comfortable?

Xiao Zhaoyi smiled slightly,

She never expected that a marriage would stump Han Jinyu. If the marriage was done, it would just humiliate Han Jinyu, and it would be just right that he could not succeed. Han Jinyu was not Jian in the heart of the emperor, and the Zhenwu Hou Mansion held great power. What would happen if he lost His Majesty's trust?

Xiao Han is not yet exposed to these things when studying in the Imperial College, but he has the main information and knows that Han Wenqi's marriage is just the beginning.

Two months later, Xiao Zhaoyi was promoted to concubine.

He entered the palace five years ago but was just a small palace maid, but now he has no merits and no children and has been promoted to concubine.

It's not a legend anymore.

The rank of concubines in this dynasty was highly promoted, so the emperor also argued with the previous dynasty for a long time, which shows his love for Concubine Xiao.

The harem has few descendants, and there are only a few concubines at high rank, and the second-rank concubine is second only to the Empress of the Central Palace.

This is why, seeing the emperor insisted, few censors directly advised him for the sake of the reputation of the emperor. Otherwise, what would happen if Concubine Xiao held a grudge if he was not worth the loss?

I can only comfort myself. All the wise monarchs still have one or two favorite concubines, so they can't be too harsh, right?

"I heard that Concubine Xiao is only one younger brother, and she is still young and has no relatives anymore, so she is not in a hurry to worry about the trouble of the relatives."

After going to court, my colleagues who were close friends chatted with Han Jinyu casually, and they were a scholar named Qingliu, so they were more taboo about these things.

Han Jinyu was cautious, and he did not participate in a small game in the court for the title of Concubine Xiao, especially when he did not know that Xiao Zhaoyi was an enemy or a friend.

After that incident, he was summoned to the palace by His Majesty and met Xiao Zhaoyi two or three times. Xiao Zhaoyi also apologized to him for the marriage, saying that he didn't know that Prince Anguo almost harmed Lord Han's sister, and he felt really guilty.

In front of everyone, Han Jinyu didn't dare to accept her gift.

But he still sent someone to investigate Xiao Zhaoyi in secret. His Majesty's favorite concubine always gave him a very dangerous feeling.

Unfortunately, although Xiao Zhaoyi has been in the palace for a few years, he has been favored by many people in the palace. Han Jinyu's ability is mostly in the court, and he has not grasped the strength of the harem. He has not found anything, and he does not know Xiao Zhaoyi's intentions.

Other people reminded him that Han Jinyu only found out that Concubine Xiao was selected by Jiangnan to enter the palace. There were no relatives alive, but there was a younger brother in the capital.

Concubine Xiao’s younger brother has been in the Imperial College for three months, but he has never seen any dandy habits. Even though some friends in the past were just devoted to studying now. Some doctors who were originally prejudiced to him because of nepotism came in, became more and more straightforward. For example, last time, he ignored His Majesty’s friends who went to the Imperial College for the sake of his people and praised him several times. Mr. Xun, who taught him, was interested in accepting him as a student.

Han Jinyu looked at the information collected by his subordinates and nodded secretly.

Han Jinyu still appreciates the younger generation with excellent character and talent.

Xiao Han didn't know that he was targeted by the protagonist. After having a concubine's sister, people around him respected her more and became more far away from her.

If Xiao Jiashu was bullied, he would turn around and cry to His Majesty. They would be the one who was unlucky.

Xiao Han also respected Xie Bumin, who had some intentions to cling to the people who were approaching.

In addition to these, Xiao Han would still go to some necessary gatherings of classmates, such as Mu Qing, a clan.

"Jiashu, I'll hold a banquet at Yunxi Tower at noon today. Do you want to come together?"

The other party specially invited him, but Xiao Han did not refuse, so as not to leave a reputation of being noble and unsociable.

The royal family in this dynasty did not have much preferential treatment and was mostly just a reward for titles and salary. Mu Qing, like him, belonged to the category of people who made extensive contacts.

Yunxilou is one of the most famous restaurants in Beijing.

Although she was not as dandy as her original body and caused trouble for Concubine Xiao, she now seems to be supported by her sister in the palace regardless of food and accommodation.

After thinking about it, Xiao Han stopped worrying. It would be fine if he became an official and received a salary.

I didn't expect that in the room next door, there were Han Jinyu and several other young officials.

"Students have met Lord Han." Everyone bowed one after another.

Although Han Jinyu is young, he is already a benchmark figure in the Qingliu of Shilin. It is not surprising that students who are studying in the Imperial College have much respect for Han Jinyu.

Don’t think that many students in the Imperial College have good families, but they may also have to take the imperial examination in the future. If you enter the court as an official, which time will Lord Han be the chief examiner?

If he could be taken by Lord Han, it would be even better to be accepted as a student.

No one questioned Lord Han’s youth or something. In terms of background and knowledge, it would be absolutely lucky to be able to be under Lord Han’s disciple.

Han Jinyu asked Xiao Han about the exam when he was a few words from the students present.

Xiao Han said politely, "Student Xiao Jiashu."

"I wonder where it is?" Han Jinyu asked in a warm voice, as if he was very interested in it.

Xiao Han's eyes moved slightly, "The south of Jiangnan is the Tong."

She was talking about where her uncle's family was. After Xiao Jiashu was taken away by her uncle's family, her household registration was settled there, and she said that this was correct.

Han Jinyu couldn't tell anything from his expression, he was still gentle and elegant, and a gentleman was as handsome as jade.

Putting aside the others, Han Jinyu was also a little curious about this favorite concubine's younger brother, and he was more than others. He attracted the envy of students from the Imperial College around him.

No one suspects that Han Jinyu is the younger brother of Concubine Xiao, so he likes Han Jinyu's reputation only makes people feel that he is not conservative and has no distinction.
