Si Ruihan and Xiao Jingyuan went out together. Outside the door was a bustling bazaar with acrobatics and fun, warm little wontons, and cheap big bowls of tea to quench their thirst.

The two played around for a long time, and arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion in the evening.

The servant of the prime minister's mansion looked at his eldest son standing at the door, rubbed his eyes, turned and ran into the courtyard, and the big housekeeper who was waiting there hurried out to greet him.

"Young master is back, go in quickly, it's cold outside." The old housekeeper also watched Si Ruihan grow up, and he just came back not long ago when he went back to his hometown to visit his relatives.

"Butler Zhou." Si Ruihan said softly.

The two entered the door together, and when they stepped into the front hall, they saw Si Tenghui waiting there. Seeing the two entering the door, he greeted them, "I have met the emperor and queen."

"Grandfather, I'm going home with Ruihan, so there's no need to be so polite." Xiao Jingyuan stepped forward to give him a hand and said.

Taking advantage of the situation, Si Tenghui stood upright, and looked at Si Ruihan who was beside him, "Han'er, the kitchen has prepared your favorite meals today, and your mother even cooked a few dishes herself."

Hearing this, the smile on Si Ruihan's face grew a little bit, and Xiao Jingyuan naturally became happy too, "Grandfather, since Ruihan has delicious food, can my son-in-law also enjoy it?"

Perhaps because it was rare to see Xiao Jingyuan's naughty appearance, Si Tenghui was stunned for a while, then stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, "I don't care if you have it or not, it depends on Ruihan's willingness to give it to you."

Xiao Jingyuan was full of smiles, "Then Ruihan will definitely not want me to be hungry."

"Why do I have to be reluctant?" Si Ruihan asked with a smile, frowning slightly.

Xiao Jingyuan blinked quickly, "Could it be that you want to make me hungry?"

"Guess." Si Ruihan couldn't help laughing after finishing speaking, this smile was a little more sincere and from the heart.

The dinner that was prepared soon came to the table. Originally, the female relatives wanted to avoid it, but Xiao Jingyuan asked the old prime minister to invite them to the table. After all, only in this way could Si Ruihan eat at the same table with his mother.

Knowing that they could sit at the same table with the current emperor, some people naturally had unusual thoughts.

"I heard that Your Majesty likes simplicity and elegance. What do you think of my light yellow dress?" Si Hanxue asked, looking at herself in the bronze mirror.

Si Hanyue stood behind her, wearing a light lake blue satin shirt, with her hands on the other's shoulders, "Naturally, it is very beautiful, and it will definitely attract the attention of the emperor."

The two went out together, and when they entered the front hall, they saw Xiao Jingyuan sitting on the seat. Si Hanxue blushed suddenly, and Si Hanyue stood behind her and knelt down to salute, "My daughter, Si Hanyue, has seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

As soon as Si Hanyue's voice came out, Si Hanxue, whose mind was a little blank, suddenly woke up, and she immediately knelt down to pay her respects.

Xiao Jingyuan picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth, but he didn't speak. The two of them didn't know, so they didn't dare to get up. Si Tenghui's eyes were a little inquiring.

Xiao Jingyuan took another piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in Si Ruihan's bowl, "Ruihan, what do you think of what we saw today, Liu Changyun, the son of the Ministry of Justice?"

Si Ruihan glanced at the meat in the bowl, raised his brows, "It's interesting to be suave."

Xiao Jingyuan nodded, "Grandfather, Liu Guan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, seems to be your student."

Si Tenghui's eyes darkened, "Teaching for a few days, it counts."

Xiao Jingyuan nodded, "Well, if I want Liu Changyun to be the grandson-in-law of the prime minister's mansion, what will my grandfather like?"

Si Tenghui raised his sword eyebrows, "The Empress Dowager promised that the Empress Dowager will decide the marriage of the daughters in the house."

As soon as these words came out, both Si Hanxue and Si Hanyue were stunned. Si Hanyue's eyes were full of surprise but she still held her breath, but Si Hanxue raised her head and said, "Grandfather, why don't I know this?" thing."

Si Tenghui fixed his eyes on her, "This is the grace of the Empress Dowager, whether you know it or not, you can't change it."

"How can this be so? My granddaughter already has a place in her heart and she doesn't want to marry someone else." Si Hanxue said loudly.

"You have someone in your heart, so who is in your heart?" Si Ruihan asked.

Si Hanxue pursed her lips, struggled in her eyes, her gaze stayed on Xiao Jingyuan, and Xiao Jingyuan also turned her head to look as she expected, "Speak."

The simple two words made Si Hanxue break out in a cold sweat, and Han who was beside her knelt down and said, "Go back to the emperor, little girl... the person in my heart is... yes."

"Mr. Han, I usually see you talking sharply, but now you stutter like this. If you can't speak up, then shut your mouth." Coincidentally, Zhou Mingqian came in from the outside at this time.

A few maidservants behind her brought the dishes to the table, Xiao Jingyuan and Si Ruihan got up together, "Mother."

Hearing Xiao Jingyuan calling her, Zhou Mingqian frowned slightly, "Yes."

Then she turned her head and glanced at Si Hanxue and Han Shi, "If you don't dare to say it, I will say it for you, don't you just admire the current emperor, don't you just want to enter the harem and soar into the sky, don't even have the courage to say it , What are you daydreaming about?"

"You..." Si Hanxue pointed at Zhou Mingqian, but she grabbed her wrist and slapped her across the face.

Han put her arms around her daughter and looked up, "Zhou Mingqian, what are you doing?"

Zhou Mingqian waved her hands, "You should see what I do if you are not blind. Before I felt cold and stayed out of the house, let's not talk about what nasty things you have done, but now you have such thoughts, I am I will definitely not forgive you lightly.”

"What are we thinking? Hanxue has been familiar with ancient books since she was a child. She is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She can sing and dance well and has a beautiful face. Why can't she admire the Holy One?" Han said taking a deep breath.

"You... admire me." After a few dialect words, Xiao Jingyuan said.

Si Ruihan was keenly aware of the difference in Xiao Jingyuan's words and tone. He picked up a piece of fish, picked out the thorns inside, and put it in the other's bowl. "Taste the fish made by mother."

Xiao Jingyuan glanced at him and smiled, "It's nothing, just listen to what your third sister has to say."

"My servant, my servant... I have admired the emperor for a long time." Si Hanxue choked up and said, with the red mark of Zhou Mingqian's slap on her face, she looked very pitiful.

"Oh, that's it." Xiao Jingyuan said and put the fish into his mouth.

"Mother's fish is delicious, teach me how to cook it someday." Xiao Jingyuan looked at Zhou Mingqian sincerely and said.

"Your majesty has a body of a thousand gold, how can you learn to do this." Zhou Mingqian said.

"Even if you are a rich man, you can still make soup for others." Xiao Jingyuan said and looked at Si Hanyue who was behind Si Hanxue.

"Shadow Blue."

As soon as Xiao Jingyuan made a sound, Yinglan came out from the darkness. Zhou Mingqian squinted at Si Ruihan, but seeing that he was not surprised, she sighed.

"I pass on an order that Si Hanyue, the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, is calm and dignified, virtuous and virtuous, and I will marry you to Liu Changyun, the son of the Minister of Punishment." After Xiao Jingyuan finished speaking, Yinglan bowed and left.

I thought I wanted Si Hanxue to marry someone, but I never thought that the person I would marry was Si Hanyue. This made Si Hanyue, who had been silent all this time, stunned. She looked up at Xiao Jingyuan and opened her mouth. After a while, only kowtow.

"Okay, let's eat." After Xiao Jingyuan finished speaking, he took some food for the old prime minister.

Si Tenghui glanced at him thoughtfully, and seeing that the other party was eating complacently, he waved his hands, "Okay, stop crying, come and sit down."

After dinner, Si Tenghui took Xiao Jingyuan and Si Ruihan to the study.

"Grandfather, isn't Ruifeng at the house?" Si Ruihan asked.

"Well, he followed Li Mo to the hinterland of the south a few days ago, and this kid always wants to go out to learn more." Si Tenghui said.

"The emperor's gift of marriage today came quite suddenly." After the servants served tea, Si Tenghui blew on the rising heat and spoke lightly.

"What does grandfather think of the second lady in the mansion?" Xiao Jingyuan asked.

"It's calm, but it's also very thoughtful." Si Tenghui sighed.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice is your student, so it's not a grievance." Xiao Jingyuan took a sip of tea.

"Although he is my disciple, his talents and abilities are not the best."

"But he has a high position and authority, and he is in charge of the affairs of the Criminal Department." Xiao Jingyuan said.

"The late emperor and the emperor valued him, so they were naturally willing to promote him." Si Tenghui said, stroking his beard.

"I have never valued him, nor have I ever thought of promoting him. As for father..." Xiao Jingyuan said with deep eyes and stopped here.

Si Tenghui frowned slightly, feeling that Xiao Jingyuan still had something to say, but Si Ruihan thought of something, with a little fear in his eyes.

"Your Majesty." He said involuntarily.

Xiao Jingyuan shook his hand skillfully, with a little tenderness in his eyes, "Yinglan."

Ying Lan knelt down on one knee, "Shangshu Liu Guan is a distant relative of the Emperor Dowager's relatives. He was born in a remote mountain village and came to Kyoto. He was secretly arranged by the Emperor Dowager to join the Prime Minister's family. Afterwards, he was promoted all the way to the Ministry of Punishment. Shangshu."

"Liu Guan belongs to the Empress Dowager?" Si Tenghui stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Xiao Jingyuan waved Yinglan and retreated, "When Zhen and Ruihan were in the southern hinterland, there was a change in the Taifei Palace."

Si Tenghui was pacing on the spot, but suddenly he stopped, "In this way, I implore the emperor not to grant a marriage."

"Old Prime Minister, I knew Liu Guan's identity when I came back from the south. In this way, I know that the Ministry of Punishment Minister's Mansion will be a place of fire in the future, so why should I give him a marriage?" Xiao Jingyuan said with a sigh.

Si Tenghui's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly raised his head. Xiao Jingyuan shook his head slightly, "Grandfather, the thoughts of the second lady in the mansion are as deep as a cold pool."

When Si Tenghui heard that his body was shaking, Si Ruihan quickly stepped forward to help him, "Grandpa."

Si Tenghui closed his eyes, a little decay appeared on his old face, "The family is unlucky."

"Grandfather." Si Ruihan couldn't help but speak.

Xiao Jingyuan sighed softly, "Grandfather, if you let her marry now, it may not be a bad thing to marry into the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment."

"If they are smart enough, they should see the clues from this marriage and stop here. Then the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment will not move. When Liu Guan resigns and returns home in the future, this matter will be dropped and her life will be preserved. life."

"What if they don't want to give up." Si Tenghui asked in a deep voice.

"If you don't want to give up, I won't show mercy. She is already married, so what happens has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's House." Xiao Jingyuan said.
