Chapter 72 Brown Sugar Rose Crisp Palace Banquet (8)
"What's the stuffing for fried dumplings?" Han Jin asked.

"Cabbage and shrimp." The nanny replied.

"I don't like shrimp." Han Jin shook his head unhappy.

"I don't like cabbage either." Han Jin shook his head.

"Carrot fungus?" The nanny asked after thinking about it.

"Don't..." Han Jin continued to shake his head.

"Isn't it?" Han Qian looked at her eldest niece and asked with a frown, "Why don't you eat anything? Are you hungry?"

Han Jin thought for a while, then suddenly stood up and ran out, saying as he ran, "I'd better go back and eat."

"What's wrong?" Han Qian looked at the nanny in wonder.

The nanny seemed to understand something, but she just smiled and said: "Maybe there is something delicious waiting for Miss Jin at home. The princess will have some porridge first, and Brother Jun will also have some porridge."

Han Jun has not been in the Princess’s mansion these two days because of the Chinese New Year, but went back to be with his own parents. No one else knew, but he knew why his sister didn’t eat the food here and ran away suddenly, but after thinking about it, he still Without saying anything, he took the porridge from the nanny and ate it silently.

After a while, the eldest princess and others all came back, because Han Qian had eaten and didn't have dinner with the adults. He just played with the little Yunbao in his room for a while and was pushed into the bed by the nanny to say "24 Filial piety" story.

Han Jun was taken back to the Hou Mansion by his parents to rest.

After the meal, Han Jianyuan didn't like to ride in a carriage, so he walked in front of him. There were only Zhou and Han Jun's mother and son in the carriage behind. Zhou put his son in his arms and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here again today? Why didn't you play with your sister at home?"

"Mother, don't say those things to your sister in the future." Han Jun leaned on Zhou's shoulder and whispered.

Mrs. Zhou was a little strange, because she asked in bewilderment: "What did mother say?"

"The eldest princess is our grandmother, and we are also masters here, not enemies. How can so many people harm us?" Han Jun whispered.

"You..." Zhou was taken aback for a moment, never expecting her son to say such words.

Seeing his mother's face change, Han Jun hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Mother, you told me what you said to your sister before, but I thought about it, it doesn't make sense at all."

"What nonsense are you talking about in the eldest princess's room?" Zhou's face immediately changed, thinking that her son really can't be raised by others.
"My son didn't say anything." Han Jun said aggrievedly, "It's Jin'er, my little aunt's nanny asked us to eat with my little aunt, but Jin'er made excuses not to eat anything, and then ran away suddenly. My son thinks this Very inappropriate."

As if struck by lightning, Mrs. Zhou looked at her son again, put him into her arms tightly after a while, and sighed in a low voice: "My dear son, my mother's sweet baby, I don't want to be like this...but mother is eating Too bad! Mother is afraid..."

"Mother, what are you afraid of?" Han Jun asked incomprehensibly.

"You are still young, mother can't tell you. In short, in a big family like ours, the most important thing is to protect yourself. You must protect yourself. Don't trust others easily, especially those who talk about honey and have swords in their belly. Those little people."

"Princess..."

"It's not the eldest princess. The eldest princess naturally loves Jun'er very much. In short, Jun'er is now one year older. No matter what you do in the future, you must be more careful. Jin'er is still young and ignorant. When you go back, your mother will teach her. But You must promise mother that you will be cautious when you are not by mother's side in the future, and you must learn to see the true faces of those around you, understand?"

Han Jun naturally didn't understand, these words were completely different from those taught by his grandfather and father.But he still nodded obediently, and replied: "My son has remembered what mother taught."

After Mrs. Zhou went back, she went to see Han Jin in her daughter's room, but Han Jianyuan ignored her when she slept with her own servant girl.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Zhou took her son and daughter back to her natal home for New Year's greetings, accompanied by Han Jianyuan.Feng's and Han Jiankai's newlyweds naturally also want to return to Feng's house.Similarly, Han Rui from Zhen Guogong's mansion came back to pay New Year's greetings. The Duke knew that neither the Zhongyihou Mansion nor the Yongyi Hou's mansion had married daughters, so he asked someone to invite the two brothers and their unmarried nephews to the Guogong Mansion for a reunion.

Because the Eldest Princess didn't like Mrs. Feng's behavior, she refused on the pretext that Concubine Zhuang Yi said that she had something to do yesterday and asked her to return to the palace. Han Qian did not enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, so she went with the Eldest Princess to the palace on the second day of the Lunar New Year.Originally, she didn't want to go, but the eldest princess said that although she is a child, she is still a princess with a title, so she shouldn't be too rude, she must kowtow to the emperor, otherwise she will be criticized later, saying that she is the eldest princess Goddess has no way to understand etiquette.

Han Qian and the eldest princess entered the palace in the same carriage. According to the status of concubines in the harem, the two of them naturally had to go to the imperial concubine first.Especially since Han Qian didn't enter the palace yesterday, so if he came today, he would naturally have to pay New Year's greetings.

It's just that the Eldest Princess and the Imperial Concubine never got along, so naturally she didn't want to go to the Fenghua Palace where the Imperial Concubine lived, so God helped me and met Princess Jialan at the gate of the palace. After Princess Jialan came forward to salute the Eldest Princess, she smiled and said: " My mother asked someone to come pick me up, saying that today my father is hosting a family banquet in Empress Zhuang Yi's palace, but fortunately I have nowhere to go, so I came back to grab a meal, I didn't expect to meet my aunt here."

The eldest princess smiled and said, "It's a good relationship. We happened to be traveling together. I'm also going to Yihe Palace."

Princess Jialan looked at Han Qian who was being held by the Eldest Princess again, bent over and smiled and said, "Sister Qian'er, why didn't you come yesterday?"

"I fell asleep yesterday, and my mother didn't wake me up after calling, so...hehe." Han Qian grinned as she spoke.

The eldest princess reprimanded helplessly: "I just said that you were playing for fun! You know how to set off firecrackers, make a fuss all night, and sleep so deeply during the day... When I see your uncle later, I will make a serious apology. "

"Got it!" Han Qian nodded obediently.

"Auntie, why bother talking about her, she wasn't the only one who didn't enter the palace yesterday. Several Princesses of the Hou Mansion didn't come, not to mention our Qian'er is still so young." Princess Jialan persuaded with a smile.

"That being said, it's wrong after all." The Eldest Princess also laughed.

The aunt and nephew walked and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at Yihe Palace.

A court lady had already reported in, and the nanny next to Concubine Zhuang Yi came out with a few court ladies. After saluting, the eldest princess and Princess Jialan were invited directly into the palace.The emperor was wearing a purple dragon robe and half leaned on the warm couch, while Concubine Zhuang Yi was drinking some tonic soup for him.

"Participate in the emperor's brother (father, emperor's uncle)!" The eldest princess, Princess Jialan, and Han Qian knelt down to kowtow to the emperor in unison.

"Get up." The emperor raised his hand.

"Thank you, brother." The eldest princess got up first, and bowed slightly to Concubine Zhuang Yi, "Your Majesty."
