King Donghai got married, moved out of the Cui family, and moved into the Prince Donghai Mansion that had been prepared for him long ago. It was a big mansion, but it was not comparable to the Cui family, and there were not many people. He said to Han Ruzi who came to congratulate him: "The Cui family thought I could not live without them. I want them to see that I will live well alone."

There was a sour feeling in his words, and with the hot wine, Donghai Neptune's stomach was overwhelming.

Not many people came to congratulate him. The wedding of Tokai Neptune was in a hurry and was in an extraordinary period. Many people pretended to be confused and refused to attend the event. The banquet seemed deserted. Most of the guests came from the long-declined noble family. They sat scattered next to more than a dozen tables, guarding a large table of fine wine and delicacies, and did not dare to move around. The scene was very different from the lively wedding that the champion Hou had been doing a few days ago.

Even so, Donghai King refused to invite low-ranking guests to sit with him, and only Han Ruzi was there to accompany him at his table.

"The Cui family is preparing gifts for the bride, and they are so busy that they have no time to pay attention to me." Donghai King looked at the deserted hall and drank another glass of wine. He had already driven the servant away and drank it himself.

The "bride" he mentioned was not his wife, but the daughter of the Cui family who married the champion Hou. "Hehe, do you know that the Cui family is so proud, but Shujun has not even got the title of Mrs. Liehou. She is now... just a commoner woman, haha."

The palace refused to approve the memorials, and the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Mansion accumulated a large number of enthronements. Not only the wife of the champion Hou, but also the daughter of the Tan family who had just married King Donghai, would not be awarded the title of "Princess" for a while.

"The Champion Hou must have had a premeditation. I just learned that the Champion Hou has been named Marquis for more than a year and has never applied for a title for his ex-wife. At that time, he felt that the daughter of the Tan family was not worthy of him." King Donghai burped and his eyes were a little red. "This kid is ambitious. Even if he can be called emperor, the Cui family will be useless in the end."

Several guests came over to say goodbye. Donghai King waved his hand impatiently, not even wanting to say more polite words.

Han Ruzi gently turned the wine glass in her hand, but didn't drink it, and asked, "Master Cui would still lend you the official seal, right?"

Donghai Wang nodded, "It will be delivered tomorrow. This is the tradition of the Cui family. Bets from multiple parties, even if they only have a little chance of winning, they will not give up. Cui Hong borrowed my official seal, and he had already explained to the Champion Hou. The Cui family said that they were preparing gifts for the bride, but in the end they were all delivered to the Champion Hou? Hey, the Cui family is so direct to please the new master."

King Donghai was a little drunk, and Han Ruzi didn't know how to comfort him, so he nodded perfunctorily. He had sent Du Chuanyun to write a letter to General Han Xing, and it was time for him to reply tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

There was a burst of laughter suddenly coming from the back house. It sounded like women were all there, and there were still quite a few people.

King Donghai's face looked even more ugly. When the laughter disappeared, he said: "There are many female guests who congratulate the Tan family's daughter. Their father, husband, and brothers have no time to come. Haha, the world is so cold! Come and have a big glass!"

The Tokai King drank it all and looked forward, not knowing what he was looking at. The remaining guests began to slip away quietly, hiding some food in their sleeves. Although the wedding banquet was deserted, the dishes were good.

"Get out of here! Don't stay here and get angry!" King Donghai shouted, scaring the last few guests away.

There were only two brothers left in the huge hall. Several servants looked at the door, but they didn't dare to come in when they saw the master's expression was not kind.

King Donghai lay on the table, looked at Han Ruzi slantedly, and said in a low voice: "What a bullshit fight for the throne, choose the emperor, go to hell, contact the clan's children, the champion, the wise men, and those ministers, kill all of them. If you become the emperor, I will help you... I will help you..."

Donghai King fell asleep, and Han Ruzi picked up the wine glass and took a sip. It would be fine, so there was no need to say goodbye.

The plan of King Donghai and Han Xing was not working at all. There were many royal family members who were officials, most of whom were idle officials, lacking real power, and they didn't even have the qualifications to choose an emperor. Only a few princes and Han Xing had some troops in their hands, but they were too scattered. Han Xing was known as the general, and the army directly commanded at Hangu Pass was no more than 20,000, which had little impact on the general trend of the capital.

Han Ruzi and Yang Feng have other plans.

Han Ruzi was about to get up and leave, when the sound of Huan Pei and footsteps came from outside, and several maids hugged a noble lady and entered uninvited.

The lady was in her twenties, with a beautiful appearance and a strict look, as if she was the owner of the palace. She looked around and walked to the main table.

Han Ruzi stood up, not recognizing the woman, nor did he know whether to say hello or how to say hello. He had learned etiquette, but now it was this noble lady who did not follow etiquette.

"Help Donghai King go to the bridal chamber." The noble lady ordered.

Several maids took the order, half supported and half supported, and took Donghai King away. Han Ruzi felt that it was not appropriate to stay for a long time. She nodded slightly and took a step to leave, but the noble lady was already sitting opposite her and said, "Sit."

Han Ruzi glanced at the only maid left behind the noble lady, and received no hint. He slowly sat down and vaguely guessed the identity of the woman.

"My surname is Cui, and I am Xiaojun's eldest sister."

"It turns out it's Mrs. Ping'en, I'm rude. I'm..."

"I say I am Xiaojun's eldest sister, how can I not know who you are?" Mrs. Pingchou was quite a bit arrogant and looked at Han Ruzi a few times, "Have you mentioned me to you?"

Han Ruzi nodded. Xiaojun's elder sister was from Cui Hong's first wife. She was irritable and was not favored at home. She married Ping'en Hou Miaoshuang early. Ping'en Hou's family was already in decline. It was completely unexpected that she could marry the daughter of the Cui family. Unexpectedly, the day of marriage was also the time of breaking off diplomatic relations. The two families had very little contact. Xiaojun never met this sister after she grew up.

"Tonghai King is as unreliable as he was when he was a child. On the happy days, he was drunk as if he was drunk. Isn't it just that the guests came less? A real man can't bear it for a moment, so why do he do something big?"

Han Ruzi agreed with her words, so she just smiled and didn't speak.

"I'm here to meet you two. Since he's drunk, it's the same with you."

"Mrs. Ping'enhou has something to do with us?" Han Ruzi's first reaction was that he wanted to borrow money. Not all noble families were rich. A large number of ceremonies each year consumed most of their property. If no one was an official in the family and had no other income, life would be very tight. The previous generation Ping'enhou would have no official position, and Miao Shuang would have accomplished nothing.

Mrs. Ping'en Hou did not answer immediately, stared at Han Ruzi for a while, and the only maid behind her bowed and even left.

"I'm passing a message for the General."

Han Ruzi was shocked.

"No need to be so surprised. Marquis Ping'en and his son-in-law Zhuo Ruhe are family friends. I have known the princess for many years. She trusts me and I am willing to do things for her."

"So that's it." Han Ruzi was still very surprised. Han Xing said that someone would contact him in the capital, but he never thought that the contactor would be a woman, and Xiaojun's sister.

"The people in the capital are too talkative, so men should be more cautious, so they have to let their female relatives come forward." Seeing the surprise on Han Ruzi's face, Mrs. Ping'en smiled, "You are also a descendant of the Han family. You have been an emperor and have such a shallow experience. Have you never heard of female relatives taking charge of half of the court?"

Han Ruzi shook his head and said that when he wanted to talk about the empress dowager's strength, he knew that he had no idea about other women.

Mrs. Ping'en Hou sneered, "You are really a good husband who is loyal to you. Your wife, my sister Cui Xiaojun, have been in the circle of female relatives in the capital for most of the past six months. How many noble ladies have you made in the house of Cui's mansion and how much benefits have you won for you? You know nothing?"

Han Ruzi was even more surprised and said for a while: "Xiaojun... has never told me these things."

"It's not your fault. You have been fighting on the frontier. Xiaojun naturally won't bother you with these things. As soon as you returned to Beijing, she was taken into the palace. Alas..."

"Can you go to the palace to see Xiaojun?" Han Ruzi's eyes lit up.

Mrs. Ping'en Hou said coldly.

Han Ruzi stood up and bowed, "Please help me, by chance, after I returned to Beijing, I separated from Xiaojun before I saw each other."

"It seems that you still have some affection for Xiaojun. She hasn't been busy with you for nothing. Okay, I'll help you. What token do you have? Do you want to bring her love words?"

Han Ruzi was on a whim and immediately became cautious again. She sat down slowly, "I haven't thought about it yet."

"Haha, you are doubting me, don't guess it, brother-in-law, I have a purpose in doing these things."

Han Ruzi looked at her.

"Marquis Ping'en is a county marquis, and can only be passed down for three generations. If he makes meritorious service, he can continue for several more generations. The third generation of Marquis Ping'en has gone to the battlefield and saved the throne for his children and grandchildren. The fourth generation, the fifth generation, that is, my father-in-law and husband, are both incompetent. As the throne is about to end, my son can only take a free job for this life. Look at his appearance, he is in line with the Miao family. When he grows up, he is also a person who cannot do great things. My grandson will become a civilian and can only climb up with his own efforts. Alas."

The Cui family has different personalities, but they are a little bit the same, and they are arrogant and arrogant. Mrs. Ping'en Hou could not count on her husband, so she had to come forward by herself, willing to take risks and win the position of Hou for her children and grandchildren.

"To be honest, I am not qualified to please the champion Hou. There are too many people who flatter him, and no one else has a future, so I choose you and King Donghai. The princess believes in me, and the general Korean star believes in me. If you have any doubts, let's say now, don't waste time guessing."

"I believe you, I really haven't thought about bringing something to Xiaojun... How should I contact you in the future?"

"Looking for King Donghai, his wife is the daughter of the Tan family. Champion Hou is a fool. I don't know how deep the Tan family has. The Tan family acts in a low-key manner, so he thinks the Tan family is incompetent. He said too much, but King Donghai married a good wife and she can contact me at any time. But you'd better find a trusted female family member to be more convenient and not attract attention."

"Okay." Han Ruzi immediately had a candidate in her heart.

"I have been chatting for a long time, but the main thing has not yet been mentioned. I will only talk about two things: First, the royal family is very dissatisfied with the champion and the queen mother. If everyone does not say anything, it does not mean that they do not want to resist; second, don't take the support of the ministers in the court too seriously. They all have ulterior motives and have no people who support the champion Hou as the emperor."

Mrs. Ping'en paused for a while and asked, "Do you have confidence?"

Han Ruzi nodded. In fact, he was a little disappointed. The support from the royal family that the General Han Xing promised was just a group of female relatives. The only thing that made him happy was that he could contact Xiaojun and his mother in the palace.

If he wants to do something, he must first ensure the safety of these two people. (To be continued.)
