Chapter 16 Prince Han
Although it was restarted three times, Su Juan still had no impression of the queen.

The queen didn't like lively occasions. She heard that she was a concubine of the Xie family, and she fell in love with the emperor, who was just a prince at that time.

But the queen didn't seem to have any desire for power. She was in the harem and kept fasting and chanting Buddha's name.

When the Su family saw the queen, she was waiting in the palace dressed in simple and elegant clothes. She bowed politely and said, "I have met the queen. May the queen be safe and sound."

When she lowered her head, the queen looked at her, slightly absent-minded, and then asked Su Juan to sit next to her and drink tea with her.

Su Juan quietly looked at the queen and couldn't help but sigh, "They are all Xie's family. Xie Xun wears bright and flamboyant clothes every day. The clothes he wears to tie his hair and wear on his body are all precious things. He wears four or five jade stones on his waist every day."

[This queen is dressed plainly and elegantly, which is completely different from him. 】

[As expected, Xie Xun is a slut. 】

The queen was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, "I have a child in the Xie family. He should be about the same age as you. Have you ever seen him?"

The queen said it, and of course the Su family knew that she was talking about Xie Xun.

Su Juan: "Go back to the Queen, I've seen you before."

The queen asked softly, "I haven't seen that kid very often. What's your impression of him?"

When she asked the question, her eyes also fell on Su Juan. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. Even she couldn't explain the reason for this sense of intimacy.

Su Juan was stunned for a moment. Why did the Queen suddenly ask her about her impression of Xie Xun?

This is really difficult to handle. Xie Xun is Queen Xie's junior, and I don't mean to say anything bad about Xie Xun, but if I tell the truth, wouldn't I offend others?
Su Juan pursed her lips and thought for a moment, "Back to the Queen, I think that Prince Xie is outstanding, with a face like a crown jewel, a majestic air, and a brilliant literary talent. He is a worthy gentleman."

Although she was as steady as a queen, she almost choked on the tea she drank.

She took the handkerchief from the nanny beside her and coughed twice while wiping it, "I didn't expect you to think so highly of him."

Although she was not very familiar with Xie Xun, she knew that Xie Xun's half-heartedness was not worthy of what Su Juan said.

"But when I listen to it, why do I think what you are saying is more like Liu Xuan, the legitimate son of Earl Shengping's Mansion?"

Su Wanxu wiped his sweat and sneered, "Really? I'm talking about Crown Prince Xie."

The queen looked at her and smiled, "It's hard for you to tell the truth. You are really an honest child."

Hearing her praise herself so much, Su Yuan felt guilty.

[Isn’t it said that the Queen lives in seclusion and doesn’t know anything about the outside world? How come even Liu Xuan knows about it? 】

[God knows that I just praised Liu Xuan in the light of Liu Xuan. It’s really hard to praise Xie Xun. 】

[Looking at the Queen’s reaction, I guess I didn’t reveal anything, right? 】

Su Juan calmed her anxious little heart a little.

[Oh, I’m so hungry. If I had known, I would have just brought that big cake to the carriage and ate it. 】

Seeing that Su Juan looked sad and aggrieved, the queen summoned the people around her and whispered a few instructions.

After a while, the palace maid served a lot of food, which was so dazzling that Su Jian's eyes were filled with tears.

【It looks so delicious...】

[Didn’t I say that the Queen was very frugal in eating fast and chanting Buddha’s name? 】

[Why is there so much food? It doesn’t look like it can be eaten by one person. Could it be that I have a share? ] Su Juan licked her lips and swallowed, "Queen, what is this?"

Seeing her reaction, the queen had a smile in her eyes, "I asked you to come into the palace so early. You probably haven't had breakfast yet. Are you hungry?"

Su Juan's face felt hot. Is it obvious that she was hungry?
"is a bit."

The queen smiled, "These are the pastries just made by the imperial kitchen. You can try them."

I like to eat sweet food on weekdays, so the imperial kitchen will bring some sweet food every day.

Yesterday at the banquet, she noticed that Su Juan's taste was somewhat similar to hers. She liked sweetness, which was a coincidence.

"I thank you, the Queen."

After thanking her, the Su family used their chopsticks. The queen was an easy-going person, and there were not as many rules in the palace as in other places. She was not restricted by how much she ate.

With the Su family as her company, the queen used more than usual today.

It was rare that the palace was so full of laughter and affection as it was now. The queen had been eating fast and chanting Buddha's name. She had been depressed for decades, but today she seemed to be a different person.

The grandma next to me looked at it and felt really happy.

The empress likes this concubine so much. It seems that the concubine will come to the palace often in the future, so she will have to prepare more food in the imperial kitchen.

After lunch, the queen wanted to have a rest, so Su Juan left. Before leaving, the queen rewarded her with many things and gave her a jade token, asking her to enter the palace if she wanted to eat cakes in the future. With this jade token Card, you can go in and out of the palace without any obstruction.

Su Juan took the sign and saw that the pattern was special, so he looked at it for a while and felt that the pattern was somewhat familiar.

Before she could think about it carefully, when the palace maid led her through the imperial garden, Su Juan saw a man in rich clothes walking across from him. He was tall, about thirty years old, followed by two guards, carrying swords, and he looked imposing. Of course.

Su Juan is no stranger to him, having dealt with him twice before.

Even if she had never seen him before, she could still guess his identity. After all, the only ones who could walk freely in the palace with sword-carrying guards were the father and son of the King of Han, who had numerous military exploits.

"I have met Prince Han."

Song Jingwen, the crown prince of Han Dynasty, nodded slightly. He had met Su Juan at the banquet yesterday. The little girl had been eating on the outside, but she was thinking about nothing. He was very impressed by this.

"Sister-in-law, you don't need to be polite. You and I are equals. When we meet in the future, we don't need these false courtesy."

The Su family responded and secretly sighed, "Prince Han is indeed a man who has conquered all over the world. He is completely different from the rosy young masters in the capital in recent years. He has a lot of masculinity in his body and makes people feel energetic when he speaks. 】

Song Jingwen was slightly startled, remembering that in recent years, many people in Beijing, whether they were common people or noble men, would put some powder on their faces to make their skin look fairer and better-looking. He suddenly smiled, if he was a soldier like himself, Also like this, doesn't it mean that when facing the enemy in front of the formation, he loses his momentum first?

When leaving the palace, Su Juan went through the things about King Han and his son in her mind.

It is said that Prince Han studied martial arts with the top master of the Jin Dynasty when he was young. When he was 15 years old, he followed King Han to the battlefield and made great achievements in battle. However, he was the most easy-going prince among the princes and dukes in the capital. He had no airs and treated his subordinates specially. Good.

Therefore, the praises of King Han and his son filled the capital, and the old emperor also relied heavily on them.

Song Qianfan has always regarded the father and son as enemies and the biggest threat to the fight for the throne.

Su Jian felt that the old emperor initially chose Song Qianfan not only because Song Qianfan did have some talents, but also because he felt that the murderous spirit of King Han and his son were too strong. He was afraid that King Han would not care about government affairs after he succeeded to the throne, start a war, and the people would suffer. , the situation in the DPRK is chaotic.

The old emperor had these concerns, but Song Qianfan's choice was obviously unwise.
