Chapter 629 Spring is deep like the sea (2)
"It's good that you have this determination. But why don't you take action?" Han Qian sighed leisurely.

Shao Jun was silent.Ever since Bai Shaoyu's lawsuit was cleared up and he was released from prison, Shao Juncong fell silent.He himself didn't know why, anyway, since he came back from Chengzhou, he knew that Bai Shaoyu was fine. Although the business of the Bai family was damaged, it was no longer as prosperous as it was in the past. Withering, but Bai Shaoyu is fine, the business of the Bai family will be fine, and what is lost will be earned back in the same way.

And the one thing Shao Juncong couldn't let go of in this incident was that Bai Shaoyu's wife, Wang Muyue, begged Shao Juncong not to move the place for a day and a night at the gate of Huqi General's Mansion in order to save him. Tian died because of illness.

In Shao Juncong's view, the biggest obstacle between Yan Wenzhen and Bai Shaoyu was gone.So who did Yan Wenzhen's heart belong to? He didn't know or even dared to ask.So these days, apart from going to the West School Field to ride horses and shoot arrows, he just stays at home and never goes out. He didn't even go to the palace for a banquet on the Lantern Festival, so he took the initiative to patrol the streets in order to avoid Yan Wenzhen.

Han Qian didn't fully understand what Shao Juncong was thinking, but he already guessed that it had something to do with Bai Shaoyu.Looking at his calm and cold face at this time, Han Qian smiled lightly and said, "Shao Juncong, you swore here in this palace that you would not marry Wenzhen. Then I ask you, now your mother still opposes it like before. Are you marrying a palace cook who has no family background or status?"

Shao Juncong lowered his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Returning to the empress's words, my mother has already said, she doesn't care about my marriage, and I let me decide for myself."

"Well, the princess is actually a sensible person. I also thought that her objection to you before was not just because of Yan Wenzhen's identity. But now, it seems that her objection is justified." Han Qian smiled lightly and shook her head "I heard that Bai Shaoyu's daughter-in-law who never touched a finger when she married died of illness? A generous dowry and a decree for marriage.”

After hearing this, Shao Juncong suddenly raised his head and looked at Han Qian with anxious eyes.

Han Qian put down the teacup in his hand, walked slowly in front of Shao Juncong, and said coldly, "Stand up."

Shao Juncong took a deep breath and stood up straight.

Han Qian walked around him, looked him over carefully, and sighed again: "Jun Cong, we have known each other since we were young. Do you remember those two clouded leopards? Your Gale, my Meow."

"Yes, I remember." Shao Juncong nodded, and said, "The empress's clouded leopard has died, and my minister's one has long been put back in the dense forest in the southwest. Counting the time, it should have returned to the dust long ago."

"A clouded leopard, with careful care, can only live for more than ten years, which is considered a long life." Thinking of the clouded leopard, Han Qian looked up at the carved beams and paintings on the roof of the hall, and sighed, "Humans are better than clouded leopards, but they are only a few Ten years. Shao Juncong, how old are you this year?"

"Returning to the empress, the minister is 20 years old this year."

"I've just become an adult, so to speak, I've just reached the age to talk about marriage." Han Qian nodded, and then asked, "Do you know how old Wen Zhen is this year?"

"Back to your mother, I know that she is also 20 years old this year." Shao Juncong said.

"Yeah! You guys are 20 years old, and you still have a lot of time to wait. But the girl's family is not so lucky. A 20-year-old girl is still in her boudoir, so she should be considered an old girl. You still want Wen Zhen to wait How old are you? Or, do you want to wait for her to grow up and come in directly to be your concubine?"

"I never meant that!" Shao Juncong said hastily.

"Okay. I am willing to believe you, but you can wait. I can wait, but Wen Zhen can't wait. I will give you three months. If you can marry Wen Zhen within three months, I am willing to help you." You. But if you can’t do it after three months, then I will give Wen Zhen and Bai Shaoyu a marriage. I believe that Bai Shaoyu’s mother is very willing for her son to marry the current Wen Zhen as his daughter-in-law. .” After Han Qian finished speaking, she turned and walked out.

"Empress!" Shao Juncong hurriedly turned around and followed, stopping Han Qian from kneeling on the ground.

"What else do you have to say?" Han Qian looked down at Shao Juncong.

"Thank you, Empress, for your kindness." Shao Jun kowtowed.

Han Qian breathed out lightly, nodded and said, "Wen Zhen is no longer the imperial cook in the palace. Her rank is still there, but now she has an additional identity, that is, the owner of Jiahelou. Her grandfather, His Majesty also Given a title, although she is not considered a girl from an official family, at least she has some status. I have helped everything I can, so you can figure it out."

Shao Juncong hurriedly replied: "Yes. Thank you, Empress, for your advice, I know what to do."

"I'm leaving." Han Qian stretched out his hand to open the door, and stepped out.

Shao Juncong hurriedly got up and followed out.Han Qian supported Xiao Man's hand to get into the carriage, while Shao Juncong followed Han Qian's carriage to the house and building in the name of escort.

Han Qian left for more than an hour, but the chess game between Yun Shuo and Mu Yao at home and in the building was unclear.

"Hey, what game is this?" Han Qian walked up to the two of them, looked at the chessboard full of pieces, and chuckled, "It seems that this game is going to be a draw again?"

Mu Yao smiled and shook his head: "What does Fourth Master mean?"

Yun Shuo raised his hand to touch his belly, frowned and said, "Well... I'm a little hungry."

Han Qian didn't know if the food was ready, so she had to turn her head to look at Xiao Man, who hurriedly responded, "My servant just went to the kitchen to see, it's almost ready, Your Majesty is hungry, let them serve the food now."

"Well, let them serve the food. It's boring to play chess with you every time without any results." Yun Shuo threw the chess piece back into the chess holder, stood up slowly, stretched his waist, and asked again Han Qian, "Did you go out just now?"

"There are too few people for dinner today, and it's not lively enough, so I went out and called two people to join in the fun." Han Qian laughed.

Yun Shuo's eyes widened immediately: "Who, such a big air, do you want the Queen to invite you in person?"

"What air is not airs, the queen is not the queen, we come out in low clothes today, just like ordinary people's homes." Han Qian hurriedly said in a low voice.

Yun Shuo waved his hand and laughed at himself, "Okay, okay! Except for that kid Shao Juncong, I'm afraid no one will let you make this trip."

Han Qian smiled, noncommittal.

"What about the kid? Come in even if you come, are you still waiting to be invited?" Yun Shuo snorted dissatisfied.

Han Qian whispered, "I'm going to the kitchen. Let them discuss the children's affairs by themselves. Let's stop joining in the fun."
