Zhou Shuren glanced around. The princes were walking really slowly. He still had a lot of things to do. "Your Highness Prince Qi, I have something to do first."
The King of Qi hummed, and when Zhou Shuren left quickly, he sneered, "Don't follow me."
The King of Chu didn't even raise his eyelids. "This is the way out of the palace. Anyone can take this way. It's not the Prince of Qi's palace."
King Liang snorted. He used to control the Ministry of Rites, but now all his people have been cleared out. He wanted to use this opportunity to receive the envoys to place someone in the position, but King Qi snatched it away. "Second brother, you haven't become the crown prince yet. It's a bit early to act like one now."
Zhang Yang didn't say anything. He had experienced the power of the King of Qi. He thought to himself, let them continue fighting, and he just had to wait patiently.
The eyes of the King of Qi darkened. Several of his brothers were targeting him. Well, the Qi family had stopped fighting, the Feng family was almost wiped out, and only the Chen family was left. Although the Chen family was also in a mess, it was not seriously damaged. Instead, he became the eye-catching one.
Inside the government hall, the emperor listened to the report, raised his hand to signal for people to go out, and then continued to carve the jade. The emperor carved very carefully, but did not carve out much of the whole piece of jade. After a while, his hands got tired, so he put down the carving knife and rubbed his hands.
The prince asked, "Father, do you want to carry this jade pendant yourself?"
The emperor shook his head, "No, this is the burial object I want to take into the imperial mausoleum."
The prince's pupils shrank, "Father, you must not say that."
The emperor was not so shy about life and death. Everyone has to go through birth, aging, sickness and death. He had many ambitions in his heart and hoped to be young, but he was not afraid of death. Instead, he liked to plan his affairs after his death. "Don't be nervous. I don't want to live a hundred years. It's not good for you or your brothers."
He understood that if the crown prince ascended the throne and he was still alive, the other sons would be confident and would still have concerns. So, if he didn't live that long, his sons would not be so confident and it would also prevent the eldest son who held a grudge from settling the score in the end.
The emperor looked at his eldest son. This child was like him and was ruthless. He should be happy, so he had to deal with the forces of the other sons personally. "I don't know if I can see Rongchuan's son. No, my daughter is good. I still lack a legitimate granddaughter."
The Crown Prince was uncomfortable being looked at by his father just now. Now his father changed the subject. He had no chance to have a daughter. The Crown Princess was injured and it would be difficult for her to continue giving birth. "I will definitely have one. Rongchuan also said that a daughter is good."
The emperor smiled and said, "They have been married for some time."
The prince's mouth twitched. His father really wanted to hold his granddaughter. He wanted to say, "I have not returned to the royal family, so even if the baby is born, you won't be able to hold it."
At Zhou's house, Zhulan stared at her little girl yawning and frowned, "Didn't you get enough rest last night?"
Xue Han blushed, "Mom, what are you thinking about? I have had a good rest these days."
Her husband loves her very much. She has been busy with social activities recently and is very tired, so, well, he hasn't bothered her recently.
Zhulan came to her senses and realized that she was just asking a normal question and had no other intention. "You're overthinking it."
Xue Han's head was steaming, but now she stopped yawning and was very energetic. "Mom, I went to the Prince's Mansion yesterday."
Zhulan, "Since you got married, I, your mother, have been much more informed than before."
This is the level of contact, and she is currently unable to reach this girl's level.
Xue Han blinked her eyes and said, "So my daughter will come back to see you and daddy if she has any news."
Apart from not living in her parents' home, it is very convenient for her to go back there. It is also good that she does not have a mother-in-law to live with her. She is so free.
Zhu Lan laughed, "You, aren't you afraid that your father-in-law will think too much?"
"My father-in-law won't do that. He doesn't care about anything. The old man lives a comfortable life."
I'm nothing like my dad who is busy as hell every day.
Zhu Lan asked, "I remember you and Ran Yan were good friends. You didn't go past the Crown Princess when you went to the Crown Prince's Mansion, did you?"
Xue Han wrinkled her nose, "Mother, I'm not stupid. The Crown Princess is the most powerful in the Crown Prince's Mansion. I've also seen Ran Yan. Ran Yan is doing well. She has been the most knowledgeable among all the women in the Crown Prince's Mansion since she was young."
She could see clearly that Ran Yan was the Crown Princess.
At noon, Xue Han stayed to eat. Zhu Lan watched her daughter eat the spicy food bite by bite, and asked, "Isn't the chili today spicy?"
Xue Han, "It's OK, but not as spicy as the ones in the Marquis' Mansion. Mother, I'll have someone send some chili peppers over later."
Zhulan took a sip doubtfully. She seldom ate spicy food to maintain her health. Today's dish was requested by her daughter. After taking a bite, she blushed and said, "It's already very spicy."
Xue Han blinked, "Really? I think it's okay. Rong Chuan also said it was okay when he ate with me yesterday."
"Then Shui Rongchuan is in charge of you, whatever you say is what counts."
She was a little worried about Rongchuan's stomach. She knew that Rongchuan didn't like spicy food. He could eat spicy food, but couldn't stand too spicy food.
In the Hanlin Academy, Rongchuan held his stomach. Now that Chang Lian was gone, he didn't even have anyone to talk to. He had diarrhea several times today and his legs felt weak.
Shi Qing saw Rong Chuan's expression and asked, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Rong Chuan, "I have a stomachache. I'll be fine after a rest."
"Did you eat something bad?"
Rong Chuan was embarrassed, "I ate some spicy food with my wife yesterday."
Shi Qing walked away without saying anything. After Rong Chuan got married, it was unbearable to watch. Even he, who didn't care about her, could hear about Rong Chuan's deeds. Rong Chuan was the one who doted on his wife. Zhou Xuehan didn't know how many people were jealous of him.
Ministry of Rites, because the envoys have not arrived in the capital, Chang Yi is currently teaching people foreign languages. For the sake of communication, he is willing to get in touch, and with his generosity, Chang Yi, a commoner, has also been integrated into the group.
Of course the main reason is that Changyi has a good father.
It was lunchtime, and Changyi was able to drink tea with some officials. The tea he brought back from abroad.
Wu Ming drank tea and watched his second brother talking. Among his godfather's sons, the second brother was the most tactful and knew how to say everything just right. Wu Ming smiled. People like him would not let go of an opportunity once they got it.
At night at the Ningguo Mansion, Rongchuan went to the government office. His stomach had recovered, but his face was still a little pale.
The Duke's wife asked worriedly, "But where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Rongchuan, "Grandma, my grandson is fine, don't worry."
The Duke's wife looked carefully and saw that Rong Chuan did not look uncomfortable except that his face was a little pale. "Then you should take good care of yourself today. You must be tired."
Ning Xu glanced at his son. This was because his daughter-in-law doted on him. He heard that the dishes these days were all spicy, so he ate alone.
He was surprised that Xue Han could eat such spicy food.
At dinner time, the Ning family didn’t like spicy food and there was rarely any spicy food, so Xue Han lost her appetite.
The Duke's wife smiled and placed the fish in Xue Han's bowl. "This is the hairtail that was just delivered to the capital. It's your favorite. Eat more."
Xue Han stared at the hairtail fish. It was indeed delicious. She didn’t think it was fishy before, but now her nose was particularly sensitive and it tasted especially fishy.
