After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?
Chapter 371: The Affectionate Princess
"Your Highness..."
"Brother Zhongzheng..."
The young man and woman spoke at the same time, and then immediately pushed each other aside.
"You go ahead..."
"You go ahead..."
The tacit understanding between the two made Xu Shouye, who was watching from a distance, laugh secretly with his hands covering his mouth, and then he was spat on by Handan, the personal maid beside Han Duanyang.
"What are you laughing at? If I find out, I'll punish you."
Xu Shouye chuckled foolishly: "Don't you think that my brother and His Highness are a good match?"
Handan shook her head and smiled, "Whether they are suitable or not depends on the relationship between you and His Highness. Your opinion doesn't count."
Seeing that Handan was not going to fall for it, Xu Shouye didn't bother to say anything more and continued to keep the secret for his brother and the princess.
"By the way, I heard that you went to the West Market with your brother today?"
Handan's words made Shouye nod slightly, then he took out a piece of pastry wrapped in brown paper from his pocket and handed it over.
"Don't say I'm not nice, I bought this especially for you."
Handan took the brown paper with a smile, picked up a piece with her fingers and put it in her mouth to taste it carefully. Then she looked around and found that no one was paying attention, so she secretly picked up a piece and fed it to Shouye's mouth.
“Uh(⊙o⊙)…”
Shouye was stunned by this move, then he swallowed the cake happily and looked at Handan stupidly.
"Silly!"
Handan rolled her eyes beautifully and continued her cheating career.
A little further away, a pair of young sisters squatted in the grass, watching Han Duanyang and Princess Yanxi talking to each other. Of course, they also saw Xu Shouye and Handan, who were having a somewhat ambiguous relationship.
"Uncle Han once said, 'Spring is here, everything is revived, and it's mating season for animals. With the warmth of spring, flowers blooming, grass growing, and birds singing, spring is full of vitality and romance, and animals naturally won't miss out."
Hearing her little sister Lu Nianru's chatter, Han Xiniang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Come on, if you're interested, find a good partner as soon as possible, and don't always use daddy's words to be sarcastic here."
Han Xi Niang was naturally aware of many of her father's golden words, but her father mostly used them as a joke, while this guy was simply envious.
"Then when are you going to get married, Xi Niang? I heard that my uncle is dissatisfied with many people and wants to tie you to his side forever."
What Lu Nianru said was not a lie. Han Ming looked down upon any of the sons of powerful people in the entire Bianjing city.
Simply put, compared to their generation, few of the new generation have the ability to support the future of the Song Dynasty.
You have to know that Han Yu married late because of Han Ming's disguised support. Therefore, until Wang Rong appeared, Han Ming and Han Yu did not give in, because they felt that the descendants of the powerful and wealthy in Bian Jing were not qualified.
This was even more so in Han Xiniang's generation, as she couldn't find a suitable candidate for marriage.
Although Han Xiniang appears to be as gentle as her mother Yu Yanran, she is actually as stubborn as Han Ming in her heart.
The girl even said: If I can't find a good man, I would rather stay with the green lamp forever and never get married.
"I'm not in a hurry. Let's wait until my eldest brother's marriage is over and then we can discuss it."
Han Xiniang smiled gently and told the story. Lu Nianru had no choice but to nod and continue observing the young men and women in the garden.
"Your Highness, I will tell you the truth. Although I am fond of you, I cannot bring myself to abandon my family's future and live in the Princess's mansion, trapped there for the rest of my life."
"I don't want to delay you, so I want to express my feelings. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"
Han Duanyang is not a person who dithers. He is well aware of his father Han Ming's decisive style of doing things, especially when it comes to feelings, which requires being clear and not being ambiguous.
Listening to Han Duanyang's confession, Princess Yanxi's face lit up with joy at first, but then she understood the other party's true thoughts, and her face darkened again.
"Shu'er understands Brother Zhongzheng's words perfectly well, but please rest assured, Brother Zhongzheng, I will definitely find a way to achieve the best of both worlds."
"Today, Shu'er just wants to get some honest advice from Brother Zhongzheng. Now that I know that Brother Zhongzheng has Shu'er in his heart, Shu'er will not give up!"
The girl's eyes sparkled again as she stared at the young man intently.
"I..."
Han Duanyang opened his mouth, but he really didn't know how to dissuade the girl. After all, given their status, many things couldn't be solved so easily.
"Brother Zhongzheng, do you believe Shu'er?!"
The girl's words made the old man Han Duanyang fall silent, and then he nodded heavily.
"I believe in Your Highness!"
Princess Yanxi showed a bright smile, took Han Duanyang's hand and said, "As long as Brother Zhongzheng trusts Shu'er and never lets her down, then Shu'er will not be afraid of anything!"
Hearing this, Han Duanyang's eyes flashed with confusion, and then he said with some concern: "Your Highness, I don't want you to hurt yourself for me. If that's the case, it's better to break up now!"
Han Duanyang's words made Princess Yanxi smile even wider, and she laughed even more happily: "Brother Zhongzheng, don't worry, Shu'er will definitely marry you, and she will definitely not let you fall into the quagmire."
Although Han Duanyang didn't know what the girl's plan was, he still accepted the princess's sincerity.
The two looked at each other, then smiled knowingly and strolled in the garden pond.
. . . . . .
A few days later, to the astonishment of the powerful and common people in the entire city of Bianjing, the young Emperor Zhezong issued an imperial decree to abolish Princess Yanxi's mansion, cancel Zhao Shuhuai's title, and demote her to a commoner.
When the news spread, the whole world was shocked, especially the Han family, who immediately understood the determination of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"Your Highness is not trying to hinder my brother's future, so he even gave up being a princess."
When Handan received the news from Shouye, she immediately told Han Duanyang who was resting at home.
"This silly girl..."
Han Duanyang felt a pain in his heart and sighed helplessly.
"Big Brother, His Highness is so affectionate and friendly. You must not let him down in the future."
Han Xi Niang poured a cup of tea and handed it to her brother.
"Well, I know. In the days to come, I don't know how to make it up to her..."
Han Duanyang wondered what he had done to deserve such a beautiful woman's trouble, and that she would rather give up wealth and glory and devote herself to him.
"At least Big Brother should have Mother set a wedding date with the palace as soon as possible. Otherwise, Your Highness will become the laughing stock of the entire Bianjing City."
Han Xiniang had a clear mind and immediately reminded her brother.
"Of course I'll go find my mother right now."
Han Duanyang took action immediately, but was stopped by Aunt Ju Cao in his mother's room.
"The mistress entered the palace early this morning. My brother, if you have nothing to do, you may go to the master's room and wait."
Ju Cao had married into a good family some years earlier. Later, the Duke's Mansion expanded and was short of manpower, so Ju Cao and her family came back to help.
Seeing that the family Ju Cao was looking for was an orphan without parents and without many worries, Yu Yanran found him a job in the Duke's Mansion and the whole family settled down in the Han family.
Now Ju Cao has returned to her old job, serving Yu Yanran, while the other Jin Rui, who has been Han Ming's maid since childhood, has married Xu Yongzeng and now becomes the housekeeper.
He and Ju Cao once again teamed up to become Yu Yanran's two generals, helping to manage the rear house of the Duke's Mansion.
In addition, there is another concubine, Chen. Although she does not take charge of things, she must ensure that the rules and regulations are followed.
After all, Chen is the daughter of the Grand Marshal, and Yu Yanran is the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor, so their identities are not too different.
In this way, a management team was formed in the rear house of Duke Wei's Mansion, with Yu Yanran as the core, Chen as the deputy, and Jin Rui and Ju Cao as the backbone.
Even Han Duanyang and Han Xiniang would respectfully call Jin Rui and Ju Cao "Auntie" or "Auntie".
"Aunt Jucao, do father and mother have any plans?"
Han Duanyang asked as he looked at Ju Cao, who still had her charm.
"Brother, just relax. The Master and the Mistress are your parents after all, and they will definitely not let you suffer any injustice."
Ju Cao smiled and pushed Han Duanyang out of the mistress's yard.
"Auntie, please don't fool me. I'm not a child anymore."
Han Duanyang deliberately wanted to trick Ju Cao.
"If you don't believe me, you can go to Aunt Chen's room and ask. I can't tell you more."
Seeing that Ju Cao knew the inside story but refused to tell it, Han Duanyang became very anxious.
In the end, I had no choice but to go to my father's study and wait for the result.
"What on earth are father and mother planning to do..."
