Han Jian sent envoys into the city to further confirm that the empress was not in the city. He also has to pack up his mood and go back to Jiangdu.

On the day Han Jian returned to the city, Han Song and Han Cui personally went out of the city to greet them, but the scene was not publicized, and even the road was not blocked. Han Jian rode to the East City Gate, and after meeting the two aunts, he crossed the City Gate Pass with Yang Li'er in the carriage. Originally, Yang Li'er also had to ride a horse together, but at this time, she was already the princess of the East, and her identity was different from the past, and she could no longer show her head as often as before.

The return of the Eastern King to Jiangdu was originally a major event in the Eastern Palace, but this time because of the disappearance of the empress, everything was done very low-key, and Han Jian had to hide not only the people in Jiangdu City, but also the people of the world, including Yang Luochuan, the southern king who was allied with him. The disappearance of the empress is a matter of great importance, and Han Jian also knows that some things must be handled carefully, so as not to mess with himself.

Returning to the familiar Jiangdu City, Han Jian did not stay long, he has lived in the city for 16 years, and often goes out to play by himself, it can be said that he is familiar with the streets in the city. This time, he didn't have time to walk around, and when he returned to the city, he had to go to the East Wangfu as soon as possible.

On the way, Han Song also explained some information to Han Jian: "...... The court didn't know about His Majesty, but I knew that Gu Taifu would take care of it. For Mrs. Gu, he didn't say it explicitly, only said that His Majesty was in poor health, and he was still looking for a stand-in. Jian'er, when you come back, as usual, you have to go to see Your Majesty first, and your Majesty's dormitory is temporarily placed in the Chengdong Mansion, and Jian'er should be familiar with it......"

The Chengdong Mansion is actually the emperor's palace, because the emperors of recent dynasties have not gone out to Jiangdu. The palace was changed into the residence of the East Palace, and Han Jian usually went to cool off in the summer.

"Where is Xin'er now?" Han Jian asked.

Han Song glanced at Han Jian and replied, "Mrs. Gu's family is temporarily placed in the Dongwang Mansion, and you can see it as soon as you go back." ”

Thinking of Gu Xin'er, Han Jian wanted to see it earlier, but he was a little afraid to face it. Gu Xin'er was thoughtful, and Han Jian guessed that she should be able to guess a little bit of his political intention to marry Yang Li'er, but he had failed Gu Xin'er after all. Han Jian thought to himself, come back this time. In any case, you have to marry Gu Xin'er first. You can't take care of Xin'er anymore.

"Erniang, go back to the East Wangfu first. Go back to the Chengdong Mansion again. Han Jian said.

Originally, Han Songshi felt that it was not good for Han Jian to go to the city to see the empress first as usual, but she also knew that even if she went to see her now. It's just a walk out of shape. The Empress is no longer in the city, after all. See you. It's just to block everyone's mouth. The departure of the empress means that the administrative and military power of the entire Jiangdu is completely in the hands of Han Jian, and the matter of King Qin's rebellion will also be led by Han Jian.

The group went straight to the direction of the East Palace. Outside the Dongwang Mansion, Han Jian dismounted, looking at the familiar lintel, he also had a lot of emotion in his heart. When I left, it was easy, but when I came back, it seemed that I had a circle of annual rings.

"Let the people in the house come out to greet him, and say that the young man is back." Han Song commanded the guards.

Because Han Jian deliberately didn't want to be high-profile when he returned to Jiang this time, Han Song's family didn't even notify the people in the mansion of his coming back, and even Gu Xin'er only knew that Han Jian might return to the city recently, and he didn't know when he would return to the city.

As the person who reported entered the mansion, the mansion became lively, and everyone up and down the mansion knew that Han Jian was coming back, and they all came out to greet him, and Gu Xin'er, who was taking care of her mother, also hurried out when she heard the news.

Han Jian did not wait at the door, and when he returned to his home, he didn't have to deliberately formalize some things. When he walked into the gate of the house himself, he saw a commotion in the courtyard, and many people who had been trusted were rushing to the door. Han Jian entered the main courtyard, and some of the subordinates who arrived first had already lined up to welcome the return of the young master. Although these people are also Han Jian's family, it is not them that Han Jian wants to see the most, Han Jian searched around, and finally saw Gu Xin'er at the end of the crowd.

"Erniang, you help her settle her first." Han Jian said to Han Song before going up to see Gu Xin'er.

"Hmm." Han Song nodded. As Han Jian's second mother, although she does not support the marriage of Han Jian and Yang Li'er, under the general trend, the marriage of the East Wangfu and the South Wangfu is also imperative, and she now knows that for Han Jian's sake, this is not the time for Yang Li'er to officially meet Gu Xin'er as the princess of the county.

After giving instructions to Han Song, Han Jian greeted the people in the mansion with a smile, but his footsteps did not stop, and he went straight in the direction of Gu Xin'er.

When Han Cuishi saw Han Jian facing Gu Xin'er's direction, he immediately said to the subordinates in the mansion: "The young prince has just come back, you go back to do things first, and the banquet will be held at the mansion tonight, and the young prince will meet you one by one." ”

The people in the mansion were also knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and they knew that it was not good to disturb Han Jian and Gu Xin'er's time at this time, so they laughed and dispersed. Not long after, only Han Jian and Gu Xin'er were left in the huge main courtyard.

Han Jian stepped forward, and the beauty of the wonderful person in front of him was still the same, but he hadn't seen him for many days, and he had lost a lot. Gu Xin'er, who saw him, had a smile of joy and excitement on her face, but also a look of evasion. That look was full of longing and concern, but there was also bitterness and couldn't say it to anyone, originally Gu Xin'er was ready to marry Han Jian, and from then on, the two could live and live together, but unexpectedly, Han Jian said goodbye without saying goodbye, and when Han Jian returned, he had already married Yang Li'er as his wife.

"Xin'er, I'm back." Han Jian walked up to Gu Xin'er and said with a smile. But the smile was reluctant, with a bit of bitterness.

"Hmm." Gu Xin'er stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and nose, trying her best to suppress the grievances in her heart, but in the end, she couldn't help but tears slid down her cheeks.

The pear blossoms brought rain, Han Jian couldn't bear it in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug Gu Xin'er. Gu Xin'er didn't say much, her body was tightly protected by Han Jian, and she leaned on Han Jian's shoulder and sobbed non-stop.

"Xin'er, you don't have to be sad. This time I will not leave when I come back, I will marry you, you are still my princess, and I will take good care of you and your family in the future. Han Jian didn't know what to say at this time.

"Hmm." Gu Xin'er choked up with a thousand words in her heart, but she could only make this sound.

Han Jian let go of the hand holding the jade man, looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with a smile, and wiped the tears from her face for her. Gu Xin'er sobbed for a while, and her feelings improved slightly, but she lowered her head, still with a little grievance in her expression.

"Let's go, Xin'er, let's go see your mother together." Han Jian put his arms around Gu Xin'er's waist. Gu Xin'er trembled at first, then nodded very tamely, like a little daughter's house, followed Han Jianjian and entered the side courtyard with him.

Han Jian accompanied Gu Xin'er to meet Gu Xin'er's mother Gu Song's, Gu Song's family was also very happy when he heard that Han Jian was back, and his enthusiastic appearance made Han Jian think that Gu Xin'er had not told his mother about marrying Yang Li'er. But Han Jian knew that some things could not be hidden, Yang Luochuan in order to prevent Han Jian from abducting Yang Li'er and regretting it after leaving, he had announced the marriage to the world, even if he was a pawn of a peddler, he also knew that now Dongwang was not married to the empress Miss Gu Jia, but to marry the second lady of Nanwangfu.

"I came back this time and wanted to marry Xin'er as soon as possible, I don't know ...... Can Madame agree? After greeting Gu Song, Han Jian asked for instructions in the tone of his senior.

"Okay, okay." Gu Songshi smiled and nodded, but his face showed a little embarrassment, "But this matter has to be discussed with Xin'er's father." ”

"I understand, I will discuss the details of the marriage with Mrs. Gu." Han Jian said with a smile.

Gu Songshi nodded and said, "It's good for you to come back." This is a marriage given by His Majesty, you are not here, Xin'er also thinks about it, and the mother is also worried about her. ”

Han Jian turned to look at Gu Xin'er, who was guarding in front of his mother, and felt quite ashamed, even if he knew that Gu Xin'er would be sad because of his marriage, he still insisted on marrying Yang Xin'er, and now that he thinks about it, the saddest thing is Gu Xin'er, who has been looking forward to his return.

"Madam, if there is nothing else, I will take Xin'er to meet a few princesses of the county first, and at the same time, I will go to your majesty to say goodbye." Han Jian said.

"It's still the East King's thoughtfulness." Gu Songshi smiled, "Since you want to get married, you still have to ask your majesty for advice first." ”

Han Jian helped Gu Xin'er get up and said goodbye to Gu Song's family, Han Jian helped Gu Xin'er out of the courtyard and went to the main hall.

In the main hall, more than a dozen of Han Jian's aunts arrived at one time, and they were all waiting for Han Jian to come back.

"This stinky boy, as soon as he came back, he was thinking about Miss Gu's family, and he left us mothers aside." Far away, Han Jian heard the voice of Han Xu, the sixth mother, as if it was said to Han Jian's aunts, but in fact, Han Xu saw him coming over and deliberately complained loudly to him.

"The child makes amends to Liuniang." Han Jian arrived at the door, entered the door with Gu Xin'er, and bowed.

"Haha. This stinky boy still has such sharp ears. Han Xu walked over with a smile, pulled Han Jian's sleeve, and looked Han Jian up and down, as if he wanted to check Han Jian's body.

"Sixth sister, don't look at it, Jian'er is in good health these days." Han Song walked over and said.

Several of Han Jian's other aunts also came over, and Han Jian saluted one by one. Although Han Jian's aunts have a distant relationship with him, their care for Han Jian is sincere. In the past half a year or so, Han Jian has only seen the three aunts of Han Song, Han Cui and Han Zhao, and the other aunts, some are helping to take care of the affairs of the house, some are helping Han Song to take care of the affairs of the East Wangfu, and some are just planting flowers and grass in the house for sustenance. It can be said that Han Jian is not in the house, which makes the hearts of these women in the house empty.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the child came back in a bit of a hurry this time, and I didn't bring any gifts back for you." Han Jian said, "I will definitely make up for it next time." Now, I may have to go to the east side of the city to meet His Majesty. ”

Among Han Jian's many aunts, some know that His Majesty is leaving now, and some don't know that Han Song's secrecy work is very good, and she is also afraid of people talking too much, and the more things she knows, the easier it is to leak things. Even the sisters of the family on weekdays, she did not tell the truth.

Han Xu said with a smile: "You kid, hurry up and go to see Your Majesty, come back tonight, Liuniang will open a jar of daughter red, and have a good drink with you!" (To be continued......)
