Wei and Jin cooks

She couldn't help but pat her, "You just stayed for two breaths, how can I compare?"

Zhao Hanzhang acted coquettishly, "But Auntie, I'm hungry."

Only then did Wang realize the loss of time, and she quickly said apologetically to Princess Hongnong, "It's my fault. I forgot the time because I tried so hard. Princess, wait a moment, I'll go see how the kitchen is being prepared."

Princess Hongnong smiled and said it was okay.

When Mrs. Wang left in a hurry with Qing Gu and others, only Ting He, the two girls serving tea, and Ren Hui beside Princess Hongnong were left in the house.

Princess Hongnong looked at Zhao Hanzhang with a smile.

Zhao Hanzhang seemed to know that she had something to say, and turned to tell Ting He, "Go to the kitchen to get some pastries and make a pot of tea."

Tinghe agreed and took the other two girls with him when he left.

Princess Hongnong also nodded to Ren Hui, and Ren Hui bowed and stepped back. After going out, she stood guard not far from the door. This position was not far or near, and she could see the expressions of the two people in the lobby so that they could call people. You can respond quickly, but you can't hear them.

Zhao Hanzhang closed the jewelry box on the table, took it off, and looked up at Princess Hongnong opposite. The two of them could finally talk face to face.

"Ting Han is very happy that the princess can return to Luoyang smoothly. This is his and my luck, and it is also the luck of Jin Dynasty."

Princess Hongnong: "I am the daughter of Emperor Xiaohui. Now you are in charge of the government. I am supposed to be more beneficial to you outside. Why do you have to come all the way to welcome me back?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Princess, I am different from the Eight Kings, and I am also different from Gou Xi, Wang Yan and others. In my heart, my power is not the most important, but the people of the world. Maybe you will think what I say is right. It’s too big and too empty, but I do mean it sincerely. You are the princess of Jin Dynasty and have always been loyal and brave. I need your approval.”

Princess Hongnong thought for a moment and then sarcastically said: "Is it because the peace has settled down and the noble families from all over the country have their thoughts wandering again?"

Zhao Hanzhang said nothing.

Princess Hongnong sneered: "I knew it..." Looking at the silent man opposite, Princess Hongnong exhaled and said: "I believe you, you are different from them. Those noble families will only fight for their own interests." , what do you want me to do?"

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "Princess, you don't have to do anything special. As long as you are in Luoyang and stand by His Majesty's side, that is enough."

She is the legitimate daughter of Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, with a reputation for loyalty and bravery. Even the young emperor is inferior to her in terms of status, not to mention King Langya of Jiangnan and Jiangdong?

As long as she is in Luoyang, it is her support;

As long as she is in Luoyang, there will be those who claim to be loyal among those aristocratic nobles with wandering minds and will turn to Luoyang.

Oh, by the way, their worries were not because King Langya was more legitimate than her, but because her vigorous policy of resettling the refugees, the policy of allocating land for relief, and the various detailed regulations to strongly support agricultural development began to touch their minds. The foundation is established.

In the previous war, the main conflict was with the Xiongnu and Shi Le. Everyone worked together, so they didn't care about it. The policies at that time were all regional, and their action capabilities were not strong.

Unlike now, when there is a national movement and the war has stopped, everyone starts to seek their own development. At this time, interests conflict.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't want to get too serious with them and end up with them hitting her or her hitting them, so Princess Hongnong was a shield for her.

She believed that they would side with Princess Hongnong and push her to fight with her.

Princess Hongnong slowly clarified the relationship and looked at Zhao Hanzhang. Their eyes collided in the air, and they seemed to be looking into each other's heart through their eyes.

Zhao Hanzhang saw surprise and...fear in her eyes, and Princess Hongnong found that she could not see through Zhao Hanzhang opposite her.

After talking to Zhao Hanzhang, Princess Hongnong held Ren Hui's hand to change clothes and entered the inner room, her expression suddenly changed.

Ren Hui looked at her worriedly, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Princess Hongnong's lips trembled and she murmured: "She, I vaguely see the shadow of the imperial grandfather in her."

Ren Hui was shocked.

Princess Hongnong: "She is so young, but she has the power of the imperial grandfather in his prime, but I can't see through her."

Princess Hongnong is proud. She claims to be smart, no worse than any of her uncles and brothers. She was just accidentally born a girl. Otherwise, why would her father's empire be so precarious?

But in front of Zhao Hanzhang, she found that she could not escape her plan. She knew that Zhao Hanzhang invited her back at this time more to serve as a shield to slow down the dissatisfaction and offensive against her by all parties and instead support her as a princess. Go against Zhao Hanzhang.

But she couldn't refuse her. Firstly, she didn't want the Jin Dynasty to have another war due to the struggle for power; secondly, she also needed the flag that Zhao Hanzhang thrust into her hand to attract people's hearts...

However, she has calculated everything, so will she just watch her change people's hearts?

Princess Hongnong didn't know what she was going to do, but she knew that at this time, she couldn't refuse her.

Princess Hongnong closed her eyes and stayed in the inner room for a long time. After re-building herself mentally, she proudly went out with her head held high.

Fu Xuan stood not far away and looked at the sky. He turned around when he heard the footsteps, frowned and said, "I heard that the custom of drinking tea has emerged in the Central Plains. Green tea is very refreshing and smooth for the intestines."

Princess Hongnong's face darkened instantly. She glared at Fu Xuan fiercely, lowered her voice and shouted: "Shut up! This is the Zhao family, you can't talk nonsense."

Fu Xuan: "...I care about you. It took you two-quarters of an hour to go to the latrine..."

Princess Hongnong was furious, but she was in someone else's house, so she could only hold back her anger, hold Ren Hui's hand tightly, and turn around to leave.

Fu Xuan couldn't help but mutter, "I can't say it anymore..."

He followed suit.

Seeing Princess Hongnong's head bowed and walking forward, he endured it, but still couldn't help but stood at the fork in the road and said, "Eating is over here."

Princess Hongnong stiffened, stopped and tried her luck, then turned around expressionlessly, passed him and went to the right.

Fu Xuan shook his head and followed.

Fu Tinghan was also temporarily called to try on the wedding clothes and accessories for the last time. He had just changed out of his clothes and watched the guards put all the wedding supplies in boxes and carry them out. Then he exhaled. Getting married is really awesome. It's tiring. Although he doesn't do much, he basically orders the people below him to do it, but he's still tired.

Wang asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous lunch, all with the old taste of Luoyang.

Princess Hongnong and Fu Xuan both grew up in Luoyang, so they ate happily, but Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan ate very restrainedly. Overall, the in-laws meeting went very smoothly.

When he learned that the two parties had basically reached an agreement on all the wedding matters, and only some small details were still to be discussed, he asked: "Aniang, where is the fifth uncle? He was the one to preside over the wedding that day. Have you asked him about this?"

Good night
