In fact, both of them knew Han Qinglan's answer.
However, Danyang needed to verify a small thing that she still needed to confirm.
Han Qinglan blinked in surprise and replied without answering:
"Does the princess think that I have other options now?"
Danyang stared deeply at Han Qinglan's relaxed smile. After a moment, he raised his arms, folded his hands on his chest, and said with a smile:
"Of course there is. General Han can also consider the path of betrayal, right?"
"The princess is joking."
Han Qinglan said and smiled back, but did not take these words to heart.
He just took a step back and left politely.
Danyang looked at the retreating figure, tapped his chin with his fingertips, smiled with interest and murmured:
"Sure enough, this guy not only hid something from me. Even the motive that drives him to proceed is no longer pure."
The last time she came to question her, she looked like she was going to hurt her brother, but how long had it just passed?
In other words, after Han Qinglan found out that the Beidi books at home were missing, he discovered something else, so that he had to get involved in this matter for his own sake.
At the thought of this, the smile on Danyang's lips completely blossomed.
Ha, the development of things is really getting more and more interesting.
…
Danyang had previously conveyed to Princess Qinghe that Emperor Xuande's arrangements for Prince Xiao Ren of Anyang only omitted the fact that the other party had been imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple.
However, Danyang, who was busy with many things, forgot to tell Xiao Ren about this.
Therefore, when preparing a reception banquet for Xiao Ren in the evening, Princess Qinghe did not say anything special.
Even because she was feeling unwell during pregnancy, she only sat down for a while, then ordered Danyang to entertain Xiao Ren and went back to the house to rest.
Even if he was as gentle as Xiao Ren, he couldn't help but feel much depressed when he saw this.
He put down the silver chopsticks he was enjoying with a little aggrievedly, and looked at Danyang who was sitting opposite him, pondering what he was thinking, and said with some resentment:
"My aunt's health is in critical condition, and you are busy taking care of the house... I came at the wrong time, right?"
Danyang, who was already a little tipsy, woke up immediately after hearing this. After looking at Xiao Ren, he narrowed his eyes and smiled:
"It's not your first time in Beijing, let alone your first time meeting my mother. Why haven't you gotten used to her coldness?"
In fact, if he had put it aside in his lifetime, Danyang himself would have misunderstood that his own mother did not want to see him. Not to mention, as an outsider, Xiao Ren was just released from prison.
But who would have thought that Princess Qinghe, who had always been cold and cold, would be the only person who spoke for Xiao Ren in the end and fought for him a glimmer of hope? And it was only after she got married that she gradually realized how much her mother had sacrificed so that she, a troublemaker, could be free.
Thinking of this, she immediately added:
"By the way, I forgot to tell you. My mother doesn't know about your affairs and mine. Don't let it slip!"
What happened to Xiao Ren was that he was naturally being used as bait for Emperor Xuande after being wronged.
As for Danyang's own affairs, well, there are only two or three things that Xiao Ren knows. If Princess Qinghe finds out, it will be enough for her to bear.
But because Xiao Ren was as sincere as ever, after hearing this, his initial focus and reaction were completely focused on himself.
He was stunned when he heard this, and immediately smiled with relief and said:
"So that's it. That's good, that's good. I thought it was such a big trouble, and it happened to me for no reason. Auntie and Cousin Nan would not be able to avoid it. Hehe... I am judging a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart."
Xiao Ren scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, then simply stood up and came to Danyang with a wine bottle, personally filled up the wine for her and himself, and said proudly:
"Come on, Cousin Nan, I respect you! Today I will lay down my life to accompany you, and I will stay with you until I get drunk! I am so lucky to have such a good cousin like you, Xiao Ren!"
As we all know, Danyang is very playful and has been accustomed to misbehaving since childhood. Not only is her drinking capacity unmatched by ordinary men, but even few people can beat her in the game of drinking.
Xiao Ren only had the experience of going to Beijing a few times, and every time he saw Danyang having fun, he never had a good time. Either his opponent was forced to defeat him, or he realized that it was difficult to win against Danyang and cheated, so he ran away with various excuses.
Although he also likes to have fun and is considered a veteran of various kinds, after seeing it several times, he seems to be self-aware - if he wants to accompany his cousin well, he may really have to "sacrifice his life" to do so.
However, since it was for the sake of his lifesaver, and since he could have "food, clothing, and food" for who knows how long in the future, Xiao Ren felt that it was necessary to "treat death as home" tonight!
Danyang raised his head, his face slightly flushed due to being drunk, and looked at Xiao Ren with a "tragic" look. He laughed and drank the wine he poured in one gulp, then directly tipped the wine glass upside down and stood up. road:
"Thank you very much, cousin Ren, for your kindness. But I forgive my cousin for not being able to have fun tonight. Let's get drunk again another day."
As she spoke, she beckoned the two maids behind her to come forward and introduced:
"They are my personal servants. They are good at martial arts and quite clever. While my cousin is in the princess's mansion, they will temporarily protect your safety and take care of your daily life."
When Danyang finished speaking, his eyes suddenly sharpened towards Xiao Ren, and his voice became more serious:
"But remember, they are not things I gave you. Not only must Cousin Ren treat each other with courtesy on a daily basis, but when it comes to your safety, Cousin Ren must also listen to their actions."
Xiao Ren originally heard that Danyang was going to send a maid to him, and he was excited to see what kind of beauty she was.
But when he took a quick look, he saw that the two maids were not only big-shouldered and round-waisted, but their appearance and aura of calm and self-confidence were comparable to the guards he saw at Zongzheng Temple!
Although both of them looked upright, when he thought of that tragic experience, he immediately stopped having other small thoughts that he shouldn't have.
And after hearing Danyang's warning, I didn't feel much regret anymore.
However, Xiao Ren suddenly remembered that the boys who helped him do the most mischief on weekdays were the boys.
When it comes to attracting cats and dogs, collecting all kinds of new gadgets, etc., where are these "right-hand men" missing?
Therefore, after weakly responding to Danyang, he immediately asked urgently:
"Oh, what about the boy?"
Danyang was about to turn around and say goodbye when he heard this question, yawned lazily and replied casually.
"There is no suitable candidate yet, so Cousin Ren will make do with it for now."
Nowadays, the Princess Mansion is undergoing rectification. Although it is true that there is no suitable candidate, Danyang is not unable to find a suitable and safe one for Xiao Ren.
However, if this position is arranged properly, it can be a good way to lure the snake out of its hole. Secondly, she didn't want to add any more trouble to her busy schedule.
Thinking of this moment, Danyang turned around again, looked at Xiao Ren with a smile and said:
"Oh, that's right. In order to prevent Cousin Ren from being stuffed, ahem, and bored with nothing to do, I have found a good teacher for you. You can work hard during these days, and maybe after things calm down, uncle Seeing that you have made great progress, why don’t you think that I can directly lay down your throne as soon as you are happy?”
After finishing speaking, when Xiao Ren stood there dumbfounded and suspected that his life was messy in the wind, Danyang had already turned around and left.
