After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

"Father, did you feel a little..."

Han Duanyang followed his father Han Ming out of the palace. When they were about to get on the carriage, Han Duanyang grabbed his father's clothes and asked.

"Haha, what are you worried about, kid? Are the officials petty?"

Han Duanyang was shocked by Han Ming's words and wanted to cover his old father's mouth.

"You've been good in every way these years, except that you've become a little cautious, but that's fine too."

Han Ming said this inexplicably, then got up and got on the carriage to go home.

"Although the official is young, he has a lot on his mind. He values ​​the relationship between master and disciple more than the relationship between the emperor and his subjects."

"As a close minister and a future assistant to the emperor, you need to practice more to understand the emperor's mind."

"You should learn more from Ziyou in this regard. He has been so successful in the court and is about to be appointed as a prime minister. He must have something unique."

Han Ming nodded at Han Duanyang, then squinted his eyes and staggered home, leaving Han Duanyang, who was wearing a crimson official robe, frowning and thinking.

"Is my father too arrogant, or am I too backward? Can there be any affection between a ruler and his subjects?!"

Han Duanyang was puzzled until Xu Shouye called out twice: "Brother, Princess Yanxi is going to the Duke's Mansion to visit the mistress today."

"The mistress said that if you have time, you should go home early."

Han Duanyang, who was still standing in front of the palace gate thinking, immediately came to his senses. He almost forgot that Princess Yanxi was going to visit her mother today.

Princess Yanxi (1067-1078), later known as Princess Shuhuai of Zhou.

The eldest daughter of Emperor Shenzong of Song, her mother was Empress Xiang.

In March of the first year of Xining (1068), she was named Princess Yanxi.

She died in February of the first year of Yuanfeng (1078) at the age of twelve and was posthumously named Princess of Yan.

In March of the third year of Yuanfu (1100), Emperor Huizong of Song posthumously conferred the title of Princess Zhou on her, with the posthumous name of Shuhuai.

In December of the fourth year of Zhenghe (1114), her title was changed to Shuhuai Changdiji.

Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had passed away in the first year of Yuanfeng, was examined by all the famous doctors, miracle doctors, and imperial doctors in and outside the city of Bianjing because Han Ming said that the child seemed to be in poor health.

And then... nothing happened. Her Royal Highness the Princess grew up to be a symbol of the new generation of beauty in Bianjing City.

In addition, due to the gratitude of Emperor Shenzong and his wife to Mr. Han, the child has been running to the Han family since he was a child.

After a few interactions, she became familiar with Han Duanyang and became sisters with Han Xi Niang.

"Hurry back home. If you delay your father, you will almost be disrespectful."

Han Duanyang immediately asked Xu Shouye to go home.

"My dear, the mistress also instructed that His Highness likes the food from the newly opened Western Region Pastry Shop in the west of the city, and you should bring some back when you have time."

Hearing this, Han Duanyang held his forehead and sighed. How could he not see that his mother was obviously trying to set them up?

However, as the son of a duke and the top scholar in the imperial examination, Han Duanyang was determined to serve his country and was unwilling to move into the princess's mansion and become a powerless prince consort.

Although the Song Dynasty did not have the situation like the Ming and Qing dynasties that blocked the career advancement of the imperial son-in-law, he was still the son-in-law of the royal family, and some things became difficult for him to do.

Han Duanyang's mind was in a mess. Princess Yanxi was indeed a beauty, and she was also dignified and gentle. She was indeed a good man. Unfortunately, he really didn't want to be trapped in the royal family.

In such a melancholy atmosphere, Han Duanyang bought some cakes and returned to the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard a lot of chaos and noise.

"Oh! Brother, it seems that today is the day when Minister Lu's daughter comes to visit."

Xu Shouye immediately thought of something and stood still, looking nervous.

When Han Duanyang heard this, he immediately thought of the little hot pepper from his uncle Lu's family, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Shouye, next time something like this happens, tell me in advance so I can hide with my grandfather for a few days..."

Han Duanyang put the cake in Xu Shouye's hand, picked up a corner of his official robe and was about to leave the house.

"Where are you going, Brother Zhongzheng?!"

A smiling voice was heard, and Han Duanyang froze in place.

Slowly turning his head, a beautiful figure rushed out and suddenly clamped Han Duanyang's arm.

Lu Nianru smiled and looked at Han Duanyang's stiff and embarrassed face.

"How come Sister Nianru has time to come to the Duke's Mansion today?"

Facing his father's eldest cousin Lu Haoqing and Sheng Rulan's daughter, Han Duanyang really had no way to show his displeasure like he did in the court.

After all, we are all relatives, and this little hot pepper is my childhood sweetheart. Although she is a little impatient, she is not a bad person.

"I heard from my father and mother that Brother Zhongzheng is going to discuss marriage with Her Royal Highness Princess Yanxi today, so I came here to join in the fun."

Lu Nianru was just looking for fun, not minding the big deal, with an expression like she was watching a show.

"You'd better stay out of the affairs between me and His Highness. If Uncle Lu finds out, be careful of the family rules."

Han Duanyang had no choice but to let Lu Nianru grab his arm and drag him into the hall.

Both his mother Yu Yanran and Lu Nianru's mother Sheng Rulan were there, as well as his aunt Han Yu, who also wanted to join in the fun.

"Mother, aunt, and uncle."

Han Duanyang bowed respectfully to the three people, then found a seat and sat down quietly.

"Now that Yang'er is back, let's get ready. His Highness will be here soon, so we must not lose our manners."

Yu Yanran whispered a word to the other party, and when she saw Han Duanyang nod, she felt relieved.

"Aunt, Aunt, His Highness is visiting today to discuss Brother Zhongzheng's marriage?!"

Lu Nianru was afraid that the matter was not big enough, so she took the initiative to stir it up.

Hearing this, Han Duanyang's face darkened slightly, and the entire hall fell into silence.

Sheng Rulan, who was standing by, was furious when she heard this. She immediately stood up, grabbed Lu Nianru's ear and scolded her, "You stinky girl, if you can't speak, I'll sew your mouth shut!"

"Mother, mother, mother...be gentle, my daughter's ears are going to fall off!"

Lu Nianru immediately begged for mercy with a look of "good boy" and aggrieved.

"Just listen to what's going on today. If you dare to say anything, go home and see how your father and I will deal with you!"

Sheng Rulan has been the head of the family for almost twenty years. She is now very powerful. With just one sentence, she made this little hottie from the capital dare not say a word. She pulled the sniggering Han Xiniang to squat beside her in a sullen manner.

"Today is nothing more than a meeting. What happens next is another matter... another matter."

Sheng Rulan smiled awkwardly, trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed.

"Mother, you have always known your son's feelings. I really don't want to..."

Han Duanyang didn't finish his words, but everyone present was smart enough to understand what he meant.

"Your Highness may be a good man, but if Yang'er is asked to give up his career in government, I don't agree with that either."

Han Yu is now the daughter-in-law of Wang Jiefu and the wife of Wang Pang, and is also a person of imperial decree.

In addition, the father-in-law and the official are deeply trusted by Emperor Zhezong and Han Ming, and now they are also the top figures among the wives of officials in the city of Bianjing.

The Han family was very distressed about the fact that Princess Yanxi liked Han Duanyang.

In the final analysis, the position of the Imperial Concubine's Captain was not a good job. Once he entered the princess's mansion, Han Duanyang's life would be over.

In the Han Zhang branch of the old Han family, Han Shipu, as the eldest son, has now entered the cabinet and been appointed as prime minister, and has been granted the title of Duke Yiguo, which has helped to maintain the family's status.

Han Shipu has only one eldest son, Han Ming. Now he is the emperor's teacher, with great power in the court and the country, pushing the Han family to the top.

As Han Ming's eldest son, Han Duanyang also had the opportunity to become a prime minister, but once he became a son-in-law of the emperor, his official career would be basically blocked.

Everyone can see this clearly, but the affection between the two children cannot be ignored. In the end, they can only arrange this meeting, hoping to have a good talk.

"My husband often says: 'Children and grandchildren have their own blessings.' They are all grown up now, with their own ideas and plans. It's not good for us to get involved too much."

"I had the same thought today. Yang'er, whatever decision you make, mother will support you, as long as you don't regret it."

Although Yu Yanran's nature has not changed over the years, she still has some dignity and some means of managing the household. She is much better than her grandmother, the old lady of the Yu family.

Han Duanyang took a deep breath, stood up and saluted gratefully: "Thank you, mother, for your understanding."

"Go and get ready, and then wait outside the palace for His Highness to arrive."

Yu Yanran briefly ended the conversation at home, stood up and took Sheng Rulan and Han Yu to the back house, discussing preparations for welcoming the emperor.

"Big brother..."

Han Xiniang looked at Han Duanyang, who had a serious expression, and called out softly.

"Don't worry, big brother knows what's going on."

Han Duanyang didn't say much. With Han Xiniang's slightly worried look on his face, he returned to his courtyard to change his clothes.
