Ming Dynasty: The Crocodile King of Han Prince Zhu Gaoxu's Family

Chapter 161 Xia Yuanji: The Prince of Han is not simple!
Perhaps she noticed Xia Yunxin's shyness, Princess Wei stood up gently, walked straight to Xiu'er, took out the wooden Ruyi from the wooden box, turned around and stuffed it into Xia Yunxin's hand.

"Guan'er, take it and take good care of it. It's He'er's treasure. When He'er comes back from the battle, he will ask you for it in person!" Princess Wei held Xia Yunxin's hand with a teasing look on her face.

However, to be honest, Princess Wei was really satisfied with her future daughter-in-law. She was diligent, well-versed in poetry and books, good at housekeeping and managing the household, and she was also good-looking, tall and plump. She was simply perfect.

Yes, Xia Yunxin's height, which others considered a disadvantage, was actually an advantage in the eyes of Princess Wei. After all, her beloved son was much taller and if she married him off to a petite woman, there was no doubt that having children in the future would be a problem!
After all, my son has grown so tall, so if the Crown Princess gets pregnant in the future, the child will definitely not be small!
"Yes, ma'am, Guan'er will take good care of it!" Xia Yunxin held the wooden Ruyi tightly in her hand, as if she was holding her own future.

"This is a letter He'er wrote to you, you must take it home and read it yourself.

Also, this is a letter from He'er to Minister Xia. Please take it back and give it to Minister Xia." Princess Wei extended her hand, and Xiu'er beside her quickly handed over the two letters in her hand.

"Don't worry, my dear, I will personally deliver the letter to you, mother!" Xia Yunxin quickly stood up and carefully put the wooden Ruyi in her hand on her waist, placing it together with her own sachet. Then she respectfully took the letter from Xiu'er.

"Well! That's good." Princess Wei looked at Xia Yunxin's actions in front of her and was very satisfied. After all, Xia Yunxin's actions represented her recognition and affirmation of the Prince of Han whom she had never met!
"Official, it's getting late. I've asked someone to prepare lunch. Please eat with us before you leave." Princess Wei spoke up and prepared to keep Xia Yunxin to have lunch with her.

"Guan'er thanks you for your kindness, but these letters from the prince should be delivered to my father as soon as possible. I can't let your Highness delay the prince's business because of me!" Xia Yunxin knew when to act. She knew that if she stayed for lunch, Princess Wei would definitely be satisfied, but she also knew that her future support would be the prince of Han! The future mother-in-law cared about the prince of Han the most!
Therefore, she has to put the affairs of the Han prince, her future husband, first!
Sure enough, after hearing what Xia Yunxin said, Princess Wei's face was filled with smiles, and she felt even more satisfied.

"Then I won't keep you here. Say hello to Minister Xia and your mother for me." Princess Wei nodded with satisfaction at the little girl in front of her who knew when to advance and retreat, and then let Xia Yunxin leave.

"Xiu'er, go to the treasury and bring the gift I have chosen to see Guan'er off!" Princess Wei looked at Xia Yunxin who was about to leave, and signaled Xiu'er to give Xia Yunxin the gift she had prepared in advance.

"Yes! Madam, I'll take my leave now!" Xia Yunxin bowed to Princess Wei, then turned and nodded to Xiu'er, and then respectfully left the main hall of the Prince of Han's Mansion.

"Miss Xia, please!" After hearing this, Xiu'er immediately came to Xia Yunxin, staring at her with a respectful face and eyes looking at her as her daughter-in-law, which made Xia Yunxin look at a loss.

"This daughter-in-law is good. She is well-informed and knows when to advance and retreat!" Looking at Xia Yunxin leaving, Princess Wei nodded with approval.

On the other side, Xia Yunxin quickly returned to the Xia Mansion with the letter and gifts sent by Princess Wei.

As soon as she entered the door, Xia Yunxin saw her mother and father waiting in the main hall.

"My daughter greets father and mother!" After entering the room, Xia Yunxin respectfully bowed to her mother Wang and father.

"Get up, my dear. Did your trip to the Prince of Han's Palace go smoothly?" Xia Yuanji was a middle-aged man with a round face, a well-knit beard, large eyes and large ears. At this moment, he was seriously asking his daughter who had just returned from the Prince of Han's Palace.

"In reply to father, this trip was because the Prince of Han wrote some letters on the battlefield. Among them was a letter to father. The princess asked me to go and get it." Xia Yunxin was very shy. She did not say that the Prince of Han also gave her his own letters and gifts.

But Wang, the mother, had been through this before, so she knew that the Han prince had definitely written to her daughter! Otherwise, her daughter wouldn't be so shy. "Oh? Show it to me!" Xia Yuanji was taken aback when he heard there was a letter for him, and a strange sigh filled his heart. Secretly suppressing his emotions, Xia Yuanji immediately reached out to his daughter for the letter.

"Yes!" Xia Yunxin took out the letter from her sleeve very straightforwardly, but her eyes froze immediately. She had actually forgotten to separate the two letters! Now, her parents would definitely know that Prince Han had also written to her! Immediately, Xia Yunxin's face flushed all the way to her neck.

But she still forced herself to separate the letters and handed one of them to her father Xia Yuanji.

Xia Yuanji was also confused at this moment. This Han prince really wrote a letter to his daughter? This kid hasn't even gotten married yet, and he's already come to my house to steal my family?! Immediately, Xia Yuanji felt a surge of dissatisfaction!

However, Xia Yuanji looked at his daughter's shy face and said nothing more. Instead, he opened the letter directly.

"Good handwriting!" The moment Xia Yuanji saw the letter, his expression froze and he couldn't help but speak.

Perhaps noticing the gazes of his wife and daughter, Xia Yuanji shifted his gaze back to the letter. But at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This Han prince has really good handwriting! The characters are like axes chopping and knives splitting, like iron hooks and silver scratches, domineering, yet sharp and restrained!

This Han prince is no ordinary person! Just by looking at the words written by Zhu Zhanhe, Xia Yuanji made a final judgment about his future son-in-law.

"Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia, I pay my respects to you..." Xia Yuanji patiently read the contents of the letter from the Prince of Han.

Generally speaking, there were only two things. One was that because the war was continuing, it was difficult to set a date for his wedding with Xia Yunxin, and he was deeply sorry for this! This made Xia Yuanji unable to deny it.

The second is that he hopes that after getting married, his father-in-law, Xia Yuanji, can go with him to the Yunnan fiefdom and help build it! Xia Yuanji curled his lips and sighed inwardly.

The third one is interesting. It says that if Xia Yuanji wants to thoroughly understand his future son-in-law, he should take the gift that the Han prince gave to his daughter and go to the Dongyue Temple in Shuntian Prefecture to find the old abbot Zhang Zhengheng to find out! It seems that the Han prince has a secret! Xia Yuanji couldn't help but say in his heart.

However, Xia Yuanji was deeply troubled by the Han prince's proposal to go to Yunnan for his fiefdom. With his foresight, how could he not see that he was the minister that Emperor Yongle had prepared for the future emperor?
But what puzzled him was that the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince had already been appointed, so why did the Emperor want his legitimate daughter to marry the Han Crown Prince? Wouldn't this put him in a dilemma?
Could it be that even after the Emperor had appointed a crown prince and a grandson, he still wanted to support Prince Han to ascend the throne?! This terrifying thought suddenly flashed through Xia Yuanji's mind!

This is political chaos! Thinking of this, Xia Yuanji slammed the chair under him fiercely, his heart filled with rage!
What's more, the person causing the chaos was the emperor himself! This made Xia Yuanji furious and filled with helplessness!
"Father?..." Xia Yunxin looked at her father in panic, his face full of fear as he suddenly became furious.

She didn't know why her father was angry. Could it be that something in the letter from Prince Han had made her father angry? Xia Yunxin was in a state of confusion and couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.

"It's okay! It's not about the letter, it's just that I thought of something else.

You did a good job today. This time was a test from Princess Han. It seems that you made her very satisfied!
In two days, we will go to Dongyue Temple together to pay our respects to the teacher of His Royal Highness the Han Crown Prince. You can also meet his other elders. Xia Yuanji, who was awakened by his daughter's call, also realized his own loss of composure and immediately explained to his daughter.

After all, he was worried about his daughter's marriage. His daughter finally had a good home, and he, as a father, couldn't be a drag, right?
Also, he really wanted to know what secrets this future son-in-law, the Prince of Han, had!
