As the mother and the two were talking, Prince Han Wei strode in and asked with a smile, "What are you and I talking about? I can hear your laughter from so far away."
Han Ze blushed slightly, his eyes darted around, and he looked as if he was too embarrassed to speak.
Han Wei was very surprised. He came up to him and lifted his red ears with his hand: "Oh, you are shy again?"
Han Ze grabbed his hand and rolled his eyes at him, then looked at the queen and complained angrily: "Mother, look, my brother is bullying me again."
The queen kept smiling, and glared at the crown prince Han Wei in a fake manner, scolding him: "You too, why do you always annoy your brother?"
Han Wei winked at Han Ze and laughed at him: "Only children would complain."
Han Ze snorted and ignored him.
Seeing that his brother really ignored him, Han Wei tried to coax him: "Don't be angry, you want my golden Pixiu, I'll have someone give it to you later."
Han Ze suddenly looked up at him, his eyes sparkling: "You're not lying to me?"
Han Wei smiled and said, "I'm not lying to you. When have I ever lied to you?"
Han Ze glared at him again: "You often lied to me when we were little."
Han Wei touched his nose awkwardly. Everyone said his brother was stupid, but he was not stupid at all. He changed the subject at the right time: "What were you talking about just now?"
Han Ze remained silent again.
The queen coughed and smiled, "I'm talking about finding a princess for Aze."
Han Ze pursed his lips, his cheeks slightly red, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
Han Wei said "oh" and teased Han Ze with a smile: "Which girl is it that our Ah Ze likes her so much that he wants to marry her as his princess?"
Han Ze glared at his brother and said, "You always tease me."
Han Wei teased him: "Why am I teasing you? I'm your brother, so can't I ask which daughter you like?"
Han Ze looked at him, as if to confirm the truth of his words, and finally said: "Miss Shen from Yongchang Marquis's Mansion."
Hearing this, Han Wei frowned slightly. He knew that the emperor had arranged for Aze to marry the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. For this reason, he had someone investigate the girl. He learned that the girl was kind and honest, and most importantly, she liked gold. She matched Aze's personality, and her family background was also good enough. It was appropriate for her to be Aze's principal wife.
As for the Marquis of Yongchang, he has never had a good impression of him. Not only is he self-righteous, but he also has no ability. If Aze likes his girl, he can just take her in. After all, he cannot let Aze down.
Thinking of this, he looked at the queen. The queen shook her head and said with a smile: "Aze has already told your father about this matter. Your father said that granting a marriage is a big deal, and we need to choose a good day. There is no rush."
Han Wei's deep eyes flickered slightly. Usually, only when getting married would a date be chosen. His father's words were just excuses. It seemed that there was something wrong with the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion. Thinking about it, he looked at Han Ze and said, "Since your father said he would choose a good day for you, just wait."
Han Ze smiled innocently and hummed heavily.
Han Wei looked at Han Ze with indulgence in his eyes. Aze had only been in Beijing for half a year, but these people dared to stretch their claws to him. They thought that the world had just been settled, and the court was facing internal and external troubles. They and their sons were busy with government affairs and could not take care of Aze. Or maybe they thought that Aze was stupid, and they would not care about a stupid son and brother and could bully him at will. Thinking of this, his eyes became sinister.
Han Ze was keenly aware of Han Wei's mood changes, and pretended not to know and pulled his sleeve to remind him: "Brother, where is the Golden Pixiu?"
Han Wei came back to his senses and looked at him.
Han Ze pushed him and said, "You just said you would give me the Golden Pixiu. You didn't keep your word."
Han Wei found it funny, but his anger disappeared. He immediately said, "It's just a golden Pixiu. I've already promised to give it to you, so how can you go back on your word?"
Then he ordered his servants to go to the East Palace to get the golden Pi Xiu.
Han Ze then laughed.
Han Wei looked at his brother happily holding the Golden Pixiu, shook his head helplessly, and said: "I haven't seen Xinghui and Danzhu for a while. Why didn't you bring them into the palace?"
Han Ze touched the golden Pixiu curiously. When he heard Han Wei's words, he said without raising his head: "Bring them here next time."
Han Wei said, "Don't do it next time. Bring them to the palace tomorrow. I have nothing to do in the palace, so it would be nice to have them accompany me."
Han Ze looked up at the queen and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he continued to look at his golden Pi Xiu.
The Queen smiled and said, "Alright, I won't keep you here for dinner. Ah Ze should go back too. Otherwise, there will be only Xinghui and Danzhu siblings in such a huge palace. They won't be scared. Send them to the palace tomorrow. The two children are five years old and should have started to learn to read."
These two children have just been brought to the capital from the countryside and have not been well-mannered. They are his grandchildren, and it does not matter to his family whether they are good or bad. However, those people outside are all staring at his family with their eyes wide open. Although he cannot make any mistakes in appearance, he cannot let others laugh at him.
When they have learned the rules and are able to meet people, it is time for their royal grandfather to confer titles on them.
Han Wei smiled and said, "Let them study with Han Chuang."
The Queen frowned: "Is this okay?"
Han Chuang is the son of the crown prince, and all his teachers are great scholars in the court. Xinghui is fine, but Danzhu is a girl. Is it appropriate for them to be teachers to a girl
Han Wei smiled casually, with a carefree look on his face: "There's nothing inappropriate. We only have three children in our family, who dares to say anything?"
The queen glared at him and said, "You are the prince after all, please be careful with your words."
Han Wei looked at her nonchalantly: "Isn't it?"
The Queen sighed and reminded him, "Prince Yong and Prince Kang are also your brothers. If you don't like them, then don't dislike them. But you should pay more attention to them. Their children are also your father's grandchildren."
Han Wei snorted and said, "I understand."
I thought he was stupid, he was just talking to his mother.
The queen waved her hand: "Okay, you can go back."
As dusk fell, Han Ze returned from the palace holding a golden Pixiu and told Diejin, who came up to him with a smile, "I'm hungry. Set the table."
After saying this, he placed the golden Pixiu on the low couch and sat there stroking it.
Diejin's smiling face froze slightly, and he knelt down and saluted: "Yes."
The meal was placed on the table. Han Ze finally put down the golden Pixiu in his hand and looked at the table full of food. There were all kinds of food swimming in the sea and flying in the sky. He frowned and said, "I can't eat so much by myself. Let Xiao Xingxing and Xiao Zhuzhu come and eat with me."
Diejin was slightly stunned. The prince had a brain disease. Even though he loved the little prince and the little princess, he could not keep things in his heart and had a bad memory. If no one reminded him, even if he occasionally thought of the little prince and the little princess, he would be distracted by other things and temporarily forget about them.
The prince's mind has been on Miss Shen these days, and he hasn't mentioned having meals with the little prince and princess for a long time. Thinking that the prince came to the palace today, maybe the emperor and empress had warned him, and he kept it in mind, so she was not surprised.
Xinghui and Danzhuzhu arrived at Leijinxuan, followed by the maid. The five-year-old child had red eyes because he hadn't seen Han Ze for a while. He looked at his father without saying a word for a while. The maid behind him sternly reminded him, "The little prince and princess should pay their respects to the prince."
Xinghui and Danzhu were startled, and they knelt down to salute, shouting, "Father."
Han Ze was stunned and looked at the woman unkindly: "Are you scolding them?"
The old woman was also stunned. She didn't expect the prince to question her. Didn't she say that the prince was stupid
Seeing that the prince was still glaring at her, she knelt down hurriedly and said, "Prince, I dare not. The little prince and princess are rude and unruly. I am following the Queen's order to teach the little prince and princess the rules and etiquette. I am just correcting them."
Han Ze stood up and pointed at her, saying unhappily, "You said their rules are crude? Don't think I'm stupid and don't know that this is an insult. I'm going to tell my father and mother that you are all slaves, and you dare to insult your master. My father said that as long as someone bullies me, tell him and he will avenge me."
The old woman was frightened and dared not to fool him anymore. She knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Please spare my life, my lord. The queen asked me to teach the little prince and princess etiquette. I dare not have any other thoughts."
Han Ze said, "I don't like you, an old woman. Go away."
The old woman was anxious. If she was driven out by Prince Chun, the Queen would not forgive her. She looked at Diejin. Diejin stood up and said, "Your Highness, Nanny Xing didn't do it on purpose. She was thinking about the young master and wanted him to learn the etiquette of the palace as soon as possible. Please forgive her this time."
Han Ze glared at her angrily, "Which side are you from?"
Diejin was stunned. She didn't expect the prince to say that. Usually, the prince would listen to her no matter what she said...
Han Ze's face was filled with anger, and he said angrily: "You actually sided with that old woman who bullied Xiao Xingxing and Xiao Zhuzhu. You are also a bad person."
Diejin frowned, took a step forward to stand in front of him, and said in a gentle voice: "My Lord, listen to me..."
Han Ze's face was full of impatience and he pushed her away. Die Jin staggered for a moment and looked resentful.
Han Ze glared at her fiercely: "They are all bad people."
Diejin opened her eyes wide in disbelief. She had been serving the prince since he came to the capital. The prince listened to everything she said. Even the Empress in the palace had rewarded her generously many times. In the palace, her reputation was sometimes more important than the prince's. When the maids and servants saw her, they had to respectfully call her sister. She didn't care about the little prince or the little princess. Now, she just asked for a favor from Nanny Xing, but the prince ignored them and scolded her in front of so many people. How could she stay in the palace in the future? Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but redden.
Han Ze walked up to the brother and sister who were kneeling on the ground, pulled them up, and asked, "Little Star and Little Pearl, why haven't I seen you for so many days?"
Xinghui said, "Father, we are learning the rules from Nanny."
When Han Ze heard his words, he thought of how the maids had taught him the rules when he first came to the capital. He glared at Nanny Xing again, coughed, and said majestically, "Go kneel outside."
Nanny Xing was so frightened that she trembled and dared not think about anything else. She hurriedly went outside and knelt down.
Danzhu looked at his father curiously, and Han Ze said proudly, "Does it look like him?"
Danzhu opened her mouth slightly and said excitedly, "Like Grandpa Huang."
Han Ze asked happily: "Does he really look like your grandfather?"
Danzhu nodded: "This is what happens when Grandpa Huang is angry."
Han Ze was even happier: "If those people bully you again in the future, I will punish them just like I did just now."
Xinghui asked uncertainly, "Really?"
Han Ze nodded: "Of course it's true, let's go and have dinner."
As he spoke, he pulled their hands. Danzhu Xinghui hissed. Han Ze was stunned and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Xinghui Danzhu lowered his head without making a sound, but subconsciously wanted to pull back his hand.
Han Ze looked at the two red and swollen little hands in his hands and asked, "Did they hit the palms of your hands?"
Xinghui Danzhu nodded and said, "Mammy said that we didn't study the rules seriously, so she spanked us."
Han Ze's eyes turned red, and he said angrily: "That old woman is so hateful. She hit the palms of your hands, so I will have someone hit the palms of her hands to avenge you."
Although Diejin was sad that the prince scolded her in front of so many people, she couldn't help but step forward and said, "Prince, Nanny Xing is the Queen's person..."
Han Ze said, "Go away. That old woman hit Little Star and Little Pearl's hands. She is a bad person. If you side with that old woman, you are not one of us. You don't need to say anything."
Diejin looked at the prince sadly: "Prince, I am doing this for your own good..."
Han Ze said unhappily: "You go kneel outside too."
Diejin was stunned.
Han Ze glared: "Go quickly."
Diejin gritted his teeth, retreated silently, and knelt beside Nanny Xing while enduring the humiliation.
Danzhu was somewhat happy. Although she was young, she knew that Diejin didn't like them. When they wanted to see Daddy, she found excuses to stop them, saying that they didn't behave well. Once they learned the rules, they would be able to see Daddy. Now Daddy punished Diejin for them. Obviously, in Daddy's heart, they were more important than Diejin.
Han Ze sat on the chair with his head tilted, looking unhappy.
Xinghui asked, "What happened to Daddy?"
Han Ze frowned tightly: "I always thought Diejin was on our side, how could she side with that old woman?"
Xinghui thought for a moment and said, "Dad, the Empress Dowager said that they are all slaves and we are the masters. Whatever the masters say is what we have to do. If the slaves are disobedient, we can just replace them with other slaves to serve us. You don't have to be sad."
Han Ze looked at him: "But Diejin is different from them."
Danzhu asked: "What's the difference?"
Han Ze shook his head blankly: "I don't know either."
Xinghui glanced at Danzhu, blinked and said, "Then let's not think about it. They are all slaves anyway, so just treat them the same."
Han Ze scratched his head, looked at their hands, and nodded, "Okay."
