Lu Hanjiang looked at the little girl running away with helplessness in his eyes. Although he once mocked Qiao Shifang for not understanding the girl's thoughts, in fact he didn't know much.
However, he could more or less guess what most girls were thinking, but Princess Yongle was obviously an exception.
Take the three girls he has the most contact with as an example. Huangfu Xiaoyuan is a piece of beautiful jade without self-consciousness. She is good-natured but determined to be a bad person. This combination of contradictions can be achieved by Lu Hanjiang as long as he continues to guide her. of finished product.
Shangluo, on the other hand, is a piece of white paper. Lu Hanjiang will get whatever he draws on it. This is a piece of jade worthy of careful carving.
The last Princess Yongle, she seems to be a clear spring, flowing with a steady stream of living water, so no matter what color Lu Hanjiang tries to dye it, it will eventually return to its original purity, so so far Lu Hanjiang has not found someone to get along with Yongle. Way,
Lu Hanjiang himself seemed to be embarrassed, but Yongle's thoughts were still unknown. Fortunately, so far, the two of them were getting along fairly well.
However, if Lu Hanjiang can be said to have an exquisite heart with seven orifices when it comes to guessing people's hearts, then when it comes to choosing gifts, his heart is not as knowledgeable as six or seven orifices.
On this trip to Northland, before returning, Lu Hanjiang asked someone to bring back several gifts. Naturally, the three girls all had their share.
What Lu Hanjiang himself thought was less important. Anyway, the three girls who received the gifts were in a state of indescribable mood.
Not to mention what weird things the other two got, anyway, Yongle received a lot of weird things, such as black donkey hooves and so on.
No one knew what Lu Hanjiang's criteria were for choosing gifts. Yongle looked through the big box in the study and could roughly guess that this kind of weird stuff was probably in line with the other person's wishes. But unfortunately, no matter how hard she forced herself, she really couldn't like it.
Even when she had a banquet at the Prince Consort's house last time, she didn't have time to pack up the things that Lu Hanjiang sent. She was so frightened that the rare noble lady around her who could speak well lost her voice on the spot, and she didn't dare to come again for a month.
As a noble daughter in the capital, Princess Yongle naturally knows how to hold banquets. Although she does not have many friends of the same age, she does have a lot of friends with whom she can talk. After all, her status is really noble, and there are many people who want to curry favor with her.
After the incident involving the former prince broke out, and to this day, the old emperor has not knighted any of the princes. The same goes for the princesses. Although they are both princes and princesses, they have no titles, only an empty title of royal origin.
But Princess Yongle is an exception. She is the only one among all the children of the old emperor who has a title. She even has her own town. She is a truly powerful princess.
Some people speculated that this was the old emperor's favor for the imperial concubine, and some even speculated that it was because of the transcendent status of Yongle's uncle, Meng Yuan, the commander of the imperial guards at the time, in the eyes of the emperor.
Anyway, Yongle's status among the girls in the capital is undoubtedly the first. This is undoubtedly true of her mother. She is in a high position, and there are few people around her who she can talk to. That's why she is so close to Shangluo. .
This time Lu Hanjiang's gift scared everyone away. You can imagine how entangled she must be.
On this side, the newly angry Princess Yongle ran to a pavilion in the backyard to sulk alone. Today Shangluo had to practice martial arts with Huangfu Xiaoyuan, so she didn't come to play with her.
Lu Hanjiang finally followed. He could guess half of Princess Yongle's thoughts. Although he didn't know what she would be happy about, he still knew why she would be angry.
Speaking of which, it seems that the root cause still lies with him.
Yongle was the number one woman in the capital before she got married. Some were jealous and others were jealous, but in the end the person she married was the little-known Jinyi Guard governor Lu Hanjiang.
Although in the eyes of the adults in the court, Lu Hanjiang has already risen from a rising star to Meng Yuan's second, and he is the one they look up to and even fear.
However, these can only be understood but not expressed, so in the eyes of the noble lady in the capital who could only get superficial information, Lu Hanjiang was just an ordinary fourth-rank official.
In addition, he lives in seclusion, rarely shows up in public, and deliberately adds twenty years to his age. Outsiders have all kinds of opinions about him.
Women care about different things than men. In addition, Lu Hanjiang has never had any outstanding achievements on the surface. After all, most of the things he has done can only be sealed in sealed documents.
For these reasons, most women in the capital were not optimistic about him, and they even mocked Princess Yongle, saying that she acted too high and acted too low.
Although according to Princess Yongle's temperament, what others say does not bother her at all, but the gossip is unpleasant to hear, and it is annoying to hear it after all.
Moreover, the original words were left to others to say. After all, the gossip could not reach the house, and Yongle could not hear what was said outside.
But as luck would have it, as soon as the banquet started, everyone gathered together, and there was no shortage of gossip.
Speaking of this banquet, the reason has a lot to do with Lu Hanjiang, because he secretly went to the Jianghu to gather the power of the Beggar Clan. In order to hide the banquet, he specially asked the government to prepare this banquet and sent a person to pretend to be him. He pretended that everything was fine, although in the end the Crown Princess saw through it.
But no matter what the process was, the result was that this banquet was forced on Yongle, which made her hear a lot of rumors from outside and made her angry for a long time.
This was indeed an unforeseen disaster. After all, Yongle didn’t have many friends with whom she could talk, let alone recruiting a group of people to hold a banquet. If it hadn’t been for Lu Hanjiang’s request, she might not have known about the rumors outside in another two years. Something.
After all, it was because of himself that he was wronged. Lu Hanjiang sighed helplessly, came to Yongle's side, and called out: "Princess."
"What's the matter?" Yongle's voice was a little cold, as if he didn't want to care about others.
Lu Hanjiang paused and said, "After the new year, I will make another trip to Beijing."
"Oh." Yongle's reaction was extremely dull.
Lu Hanjiang thought for a while, and then asked tentatively: "Do you want to go together?"
Yongle suddenly raised his little face, his eyes widened, and his expression was visibly happy: "Is it okay?"
"......Um."
The corner of Lu Hanjiang's mouth twitched, it was so easy for a girl to handle this.
"That's great!" The little girl immediately became excited. All the unhappiness just now disappeared in an instant. She ran out in a hurry, muttering that she wanted to tell Shangluo the good news.
Lu Hanjiang was quite speechless as he watched her disappear again. A bit of helplessness suddenly rose in his heart. Did he think too much? Maybe this girl was very simple to begin with.
Lao Qian came in quietly from outside, with a look of relief on his face: "I still know how to coax people. I haven't seen Her Highness the Princess so happy for a long time."
"......hehe."
After laughing dryly twice, Lu Hanjiang rubbed his face and straightened his expression. He still had the same look in his eyes, but his aura was completely different from before. He asked nonchalantly: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess, how have you been lately? What’s the news?”
Lao Qian also put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "There wasn't much movement. It's just that His Highness Yu was very sad because of his brother who was unfortunately involved in a fight between rivers and lakes and died. It is said that a tomb was set up outside the city."
Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes: "Send a message to Bian Guang and ask him to go to the East Palace to express the condolences of our Jin Yiwei in the name of his colleagues."
Lao Qian nodded slightly: "Old slave, I understand."
