Prime Minister Han celebrated his birthday, and the whole world celebrated it. It was inconvenient for the emperor to be present, so he sent his sons and specially gave him a nine-section staff that symbolized the majesty of the grand master.
Even if the emperor was like this, the courtiers would follow suit. Whether they were political opponents, members of the same party, or neutrals, even the Marquis of Dingyuan, who was not interested in government affairs and focused on guarding the border, sent people all the way to send congratulatory gifts. Come, deliver it personally from your own son.
"Second sister, what kind of gift have you prepared for your grandfather? It won't be a parrot with its head twisted off, right?" Han Yao was holding a brocade box in his arms, wearing splendid clothes, and a hairpin in his hair. He didn't know it. You must have thought that she was the host of the party.
Han Yu smiled slightly and patted the brocade box in his arms, "Gift-giving does not depend on the price, but on whether the recipient likes it. I have been taught by my grandfather for many days, so naturally I followed his wishes and wrote a birthday greeting note. Okay. Let grandpa accept the results."
"Sister's gift is really shabby." She covered her nose and fanned, as if she smelled a sour smell, "Sister has been back to our Han family for so long, why can't she change her country style? That’s all, it’s a big banquet like my grandfather’s birthday, so don’t be rude. It’s okay for you to be rude alone, but don’t implicate the Han family.”
"Same, sister."
Han Yao was stunned, as if he had been punched on cotton. Today, Han Yao was extremely calm and could not be angered no matter what.
Han Yao hurried to the banquet hall with the brocade box in her arms. There was a big show today. She had to go there early to choose an excellent viewing spot and enjoy the show that completely overwhelmed Han Yao.
"Qiuqiu." Song Qi waved to her enthusiastically, full of energy.
Han Yu nodded slightly and glanced to the other side. Zhao Yuanji was half-leaning on the armchair, holding a wine glass and raising it to her. Han Yu's eyes immediately missed him and glanced to the side, as if he hadn't seen it.
Zhao Yuanji shrugged and drank the glass of wine alone. The eldest prince on the side smiled at him and patted him on the shoulder.
Mr. Xie's eyes lingered on the men's table. Han Yao was sitting behind her, waiting for Mr. Xie to choose a husband for her with an obedient expression.
"Mother, look at the last one in the men's seat. Qin Shuji is a handsome and talented man. He is also the number one scholar in the new science. He will surely rise to great heights in the future and his future is limitless. What do you think of him?"
Ms. Xie looked in the direction Han Yu pointed and looked up and down, "Not bad, it's really good. Follow my eyes."
Han Yao clenched his teeth. Seeing the mother and daughter getting close, he was obviously furious, but he pretended to be gentle and sweet. "My mother and sister really have good taste. My daughter also thinks that Shuji is very good and matches her sister very well." , after all, both of them are from the countryside, so they have something to talk about."
She thought that her words were foolproof. She had flattered Mr. Xie and harmed Han Min. She was so proud that she did not see Ms. Xie's face darken at all.
"Sister, I misunderstood. My mother and I have chosen your future husband, who is also my brother-in-law." Han Yu put her in trouble with a smile.
"Yes, your sister is of noble birth. She is the only legitimate daughter of my prime minister's house. Even if she is a crown princess, she is not worthy of him. If she is a concubine, she will be a good match. I think you are also very satisfied. , it’s settled, I’ll ask Brother Song to test his tone tomorrow, and if he agrees, you can start embroidering the wedding dress.”
Ms. Xie said this without politeness. She was not a fool. Her biological daughter and her adopted daughter could still tell the difference between the close and the distant.
"Mother, I don't want to..." Han Yao turned red with anxiety and wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Mr. Xie raising his hand, "Silence, the banquet has begun."
Singing, dancing and vocal music came one after another, and the most famous actors in Kyoto were invited. It was not easy to see, but everyone watched it with pleasure.
Han Yao twisted the handkerchief tightly with both hands, and there were tears in his eyes. He tried his best not to let the tears stay. Han Jin who looked aside was twitching in distress.
Then it was time to give gifts to family members. Han Yao was really emotionally unstable and went back to rest in the name of feeling unwell. Before leaving, she asked Han Jin to help her give gifts.
As the eldest brother, Han Yuan was the first to give a gift. What he gave was a jade pot carved by his own hands. Prime Minister Han had indeed devoted himself to the court, and his heart was filled with ice.
Han Jin made his second gift. In order to put Han Miao off, he first presented an ancient painting "Haike Yingzhou Picture" carefully prepared by Han Yao. Han Xiang's eyes were immediately attracted. This painting is indeed a treasure. , the densely packed, large and small seals on the back of the scroll all show how many people it has been loved by.
"Prime Minister, we also want to take a look at this map. Is it okay?" With this treasure map, the British prince no longer cares about whether he is a political opponent or not. He is now thirsty for the map.
Prime Minister Han was not a stingy person, so he agreed immediately and handed the picture to the waiter to pass it on, starting from the men's seat and ending at the women's seat.
When the treasure map was sent to the eighth princess, she didn't even take a look at it. She was punished by the queen because of Han Xiang's harm. She was grounded for a long time and was just released. She specifically went to the master to figure it out, saying that Han Xiang was restraining her and she had to stay away. .
The nanny next to her is an old man in the palace. She was once the most capable female officer around the Queen Mother. After the Queen Mother passed away, she went to the Queen's Palace. When the Eighth Princess made a mistake, the Queen sent her to the Eighth Princess to give her advice from time to time.
"Wait a minute!" Grandma suddenly became excited. She took the treasure painting from the boy's hand and turned it to the back. Sure enough, she found a private seal in the bottom corner, "How dare you, an editor of the Hanlin Academy, steal privately?" The Queen Mother's tomb must be punished for its crime. If anyone comes, please go to the palace and report to Your Majesty."
She gave the order, and the Royal Forest Army surrounded the Han family. The female family members left the scene. Han Hao curled his lips slightly and said softly: "The show is about to begin."
"What did you say?" Ms. Xie panicked, why did her second son always get into trouble? She had to go back quickly to worship the Bodhisattva and ask her old man to protect Han Mansion.
"Mom, my daughter just said that my second brother is always in trouble lately. We have to pay homage to the Bodhisattva and ask for her blessing." Han Yu followed Xie's instructions.
"Yes, what you said is just what mother thought. We, mother and daughter, quickly went to worship the Bodhisattva and called your eldest sister. There are more people and we are more powerful, and the Bodhisattva is easier to manifest." Mrs. Xie muttered, and Han Yu helped her to go there. He walked forward and secretly gave Dongfeng a thumbs up behind him.
There are two paintings of "Haike Yingzhou Picture". One is in the tomb of the former Empress Dowager, and the other is in the hands of Han Yu. The only difference between the two paintings is the private seal of the former Empress Dowager. Dongfeng stole it from the tomb of the former Empress Dowager. After reading this picture, I made an exchange.
Han Hao has never been a person who repays kindness with hatred. She is ruthless and will retaliate with hatred. She wanted to bring down Han Yao and Han Jin, but Han Yao dodged them.
It doesn't matter, there is another plan.
