Jiang ordered to stop in front of the temple close to the king's city because he wanted to pray before arriving at the palace.
They stopped at a temple designated by Jiang, Zhang Han looked around and reached out to help Jiang get off the carriage.
Jiang then took some fruits and food for the sacrifice, Xuan and Yuan followed Jiang into the temple, Sifeng and the others stood guard outside with Zhang Han. Sifeng wondered why Zhang Han did not enter the temple.
" His Majesty didn't come in to pray?" tanya Sifeng hesitated.
" I'm an atheist, I don't believe in gods."
" I heard that the temple of the goddess He Xian Gu brings blessing to its adherents, bringing health and prosperity."
" Why don't you come in?" Zhang Han sounded annoyed.
" Don't be mad, your majesty, the goddess will hear that you don't like her." chifeng chuckled. Zhang Han was unconcerned and was still waiting for Jiang and his two children to pray.
Soon Jiang came out with his two sons.
" It's done?" ask Zhang Han.
" Why not go in?" ask Jiang.
" Should I come in?"
" Dewi knows you're a fake." replied Jiang scowling, Jiang knows Zhang Han doesn't believe in gods, Zhang Han chuckled.
They continued on, Zhang Han with Jiang was in the carriage.
" Your Majesty." call Jiang.
" Hmmm..." Zhang Han looked over.
" If I die first from you, I'll break through it in my next life."
" Perfect what?"
" Be your obedient wife..." Zhang Han smiled then pulled Jiang then hugged him, he kissed Jiang on the forehead.
" I won't let you walk away from me again, won't..." Zhang Han hugged Jiang even tighter.
As they arrive at the palace, the gatekeeper holds them back, Wei Chan is seen running towards the gate, he immediately orders to open the gate.
" Your highness." Wei Chan saluted as Zhang Han got off the carriage with Jiang.
Zhang Hou hurriedly greeted Zhang Han's sudden arrival, he was full of sweat then saluted upon seeing Zhang Han.
" She..."
" Zhang Hou, my son with Ming Hui" Zhang Han said introducing Jiang. Zhang Hou long looked at Jiang then turned to Xuan, Yuan and Sifeng.
" Who are they? they were exactly like robbers." thought Zhang Hou looking at them.
" You must be Jiang Huan's famous concubine." Zhang Hou saluted but his words were sharp.
" Thank you for the compliment." Jiang replied smilingly, he didn't expect that their first meeting would be that sad.
" A prince but his words are not educated at all, what is the point of staying in the palace if you do not know how to be polite." Yuan became irritated to see Zhang Hou. Zhang Hou looked dislikefully at Yuan.
" Yin...." Xuan glared at Yuan, then he smiled at Zhang Hou.
" Sister... I'm Zhang Xuan and he's Zhang Yuan, we're your brother.I heard from dad's story that we're older than you..." Xuan then saluted, Zhang Hou looked indifferently at Xuan. Looking at Zhang Han's gaze he finally bowed respectfully.
Zhang Han told Jiang and his two children what had happened during the Sixteen Years, so Zhang Hou Jiang knew about it
" I saluted the elder brother of the first and second princes." It sounds heavy when he says it.
" Please come in, everyone is already waiting" Wei Chan said, they entered the palace together.
They were waiting in the palace hall, when the door opened to see the faces of people who had never met for a long time, Jiang smiled looking at them, Jiang entered the hall his eyes glazed over to see those who had always helped him.
Jiang stood in front of Xuelan, Xuelan's teary eyes finally falling tears he immediately hugged Jiang.
" I miss you so much..." Xuelan cried haru.
" I am too..."
" Where is my son-in-law's future? I hope he is very handsome." said Xuelan excitedly after releasing his embrace, he did not want to look too sad. Jiang smiled.
" I have two sons, but only one son I can offer you, whether you like him or not." Xuelan became curious, since the ones entering the hall were only Zhang Han and Jiang, they were waiting outside the hall.
" King...Yuan.." called Jiang, the two young men entering the hall fascinated many people because of the good looks he had.
Xuelan smiled as Xuan and Yuan saluted him.
" Twin.." Xuelan was excited.
" Qiaoyin.come home..." Qiaoyin approached his father.
" My daughter, Yu Qiaoyin..." Qiaoyin paid his respects to Jiang.
" Where is my son-in-law's future?" Jiang then held onto Xuan's wrist.
" Xuan? it's good.it's great.I like it." Xuelan was so excited, Jiang just smiled at the excited Xuelan.
" Qiaoyin, salute your future husband." Xuelan was very happy, Qiaoyin was speechless looking at Xuan, Xuelan turned to Qiaoyin.
" I don't like it... If the father liked the married father only he.." as if struck by lightning, Xuelan's ears buzzed and red heard his daughter's words, anger was clearly visible in his eyes, he could hardly even control his emotions.
"Omong empty what are you saying?..." Xuelan suppressed her anger.
" Xuelan..." Jiang knew Xuelan was being overwhelmed with anger, so he calmed her down because he did not want Xuelan to lose his temper and fight with his daughter in front of a crowd.
" I'm sorry, I didn't properly educate my daughter." Xuelan's anger subsided. Jiang then approached Xuelan then whispered.
" Don't worry, trust my son..." Jiang smiled, Xuelan nodded even though he was unsure.
Jiang greeted Ying Zheng.
" My daughter told me about you" Ying Zheng said.
" About me? " Jiang asked to be sure as he was unsure, Ying Zheng chuckled.
" I know what you mean, but..."
" Thank you.." cut Jiang, Jiang did not want to talk too long because he was so exhausted so he did not speak much, Hua Rong was no sheula, he said, he went to practice knitting because he did not know Jiang's arrival.
Jiang greeted everyone quickly, as he had to rest, as he looked at Ming Hui, Ming Hui only had a flat-faced look at Jiang.
" I kept my promise, don't come back unless picked up."
" I know, sorry to make you make such a promise, but your return brings disaster for me." Ming Hui looked at Jiang, Jiang had no idea what Ming Hui was thinking.
After greeting everyone, although not everyone liked him, Jiang did not think too much about it, the gaze therapy Ming Hui gave worried him.
" Ming Hui..I hope everything is fine." he said, Jiang did not want to think about it, he now rested in his old residence, nothing changed just the atmosphere changed.
There were no more loyal servants in the palace, Lian and Yuan, Jiang did not know how the two personal servants lived, but Jiang always wished the happiness of his two servants. Jiang is now being served by a new servant.
" What are you thinking?" Zhang Han suddenly came, Jiang smiled then stood up.
" Your highness." Jiang saluted.
" What's up?"
" Nothing." Jiang smiled. " What's your majesty doing here?" jiang continued.
" Missing you." Jiang chuckled, Zhang Han then hugged Jiang.
*****
Xuelan looked at her daughter with anger.
" Can't you give this little face to your father in front of your best friend?" xuelan asked angrily, anger almost burned his crown.he knew his daughter's defiance but what happened today Xuelan felt very embarrassed.
" I'm just telling you the truth, do you want me to lie? if one day they find out, don't you think I'd be more embarrassed."
Xuelan took a breath facing the stubbornness of her daughter.
" Do you have any other options?" Xuelan tried to be patient to find out what exactly her daughter wanted. Qiaoyin fell silent, he gulped staring at his father.
" Is there any?"
" Nothing..." His answer was lethargic, though Qiaoyin did not dare to tell his father.
" Why did you reject it? Xuan isn't bad."
" I don't like it and stop forcing me to." Qiaoyin immediately left his father.
Xuelan sneered at her pained temple, she just looked at her daughter who was leaving just like that.
Qiaoyin was very upset after a fight with his father, he stood at the edge of the pond while grumbling and throwing a dull pebble.
" The pool is innocent, why are you throwing it?" suddenly the voice of someone behind Qiaoyin. Qiaoyin turned around and he saw a warm smile from someone but Qiaoyin was very upset to see that person.
" Get out of here before I kill you." threatening Qiaoyin, Xuan just smiled.
" Why are you upset with me?" Qiaoyin did not answer.
" Am I not handsome enough?"
" Hey talk." Qiaoyin deliberately kept silent. Xuan smiled at Qiaoyin's mannerisms that locked his mouth. Xuan then picked up a few pebbles then threw them into the pond. Qiaoyin watched what Xuan did.
" Ah. I'm sorry that the pool you have to be an outlet for my frustration, someone is angry without being clear, you know the pool girl is angry until her face is red like a boiled pig." Xuan glanced at Qiaoyin.
" What are you saying?" Qiaoyin became even more annoyed, Xuan chuckled.
" It turns out that to make you talk you have to be upset first, ahh. women are confusing, True the saying is easier to understand the strategy of war than to understand the feelings of women." Xuan sighed.
Qiaoyin was very annoyed, so he left but just one step he slipped swiftly Xuan pulled Qiaoyin into his arms, Qiaoyin was surprised for only a few seconds when their gaze met, Xuan was unable to keep up with his body and as a result the two of them fell into a tinderbox.
The two of them were both swimming on their own, Xuan laughed making Qiaoyin annoyed.
" Is there anything funny?" qiaoyin asked irritatedly, their clothes were already soaked and the day was late so it felt cold.
" No." replied Xuan.
" then?"
" I just wanted to create a romantic state but nature really wasn't supportive." Xuan was still laughing, his well-groomed teeth and his wet moonlit face looked really handsome, Qiaoyin turned away because he did not want to be dazzled, so he stood up then left Xuan still laughing.
