Chang Zhi thought to himself that King Liang really knew Zhoujia Village well. He had already chosen an auspicious day and was just waiting to move the grave in a few days.
King Liang said, "Five days later, I will go over to take a look."
Chang Zhi, "... Is it inappropriate for Your Highness to go and move the grave?"
King Liang's intuition told him that he had to go. If he didn't go, he would feel like he was missing out on something. He curled his lips and said, "I have seen many dead people, and I have killed many myself. I don't need to be shy about it."
Chang Zhi laughed in his heart. He was not considering King Liang, but he did not welcome King Liang.
Chang Zhi's heart tightened afterwards. Fortunately, when he dug something out from under his grandfather's tombstone, he asked Ming Qing not to tell anyone and wrapped it with clothes on the way back. Otherwise, King Liang would know everything now and would not think that the Zhou family had a treasure!
In the imperial palace in the capital, Zhulan brought her eldest granddaughter into the palace. As soon as they sent the Zhao family away, the female officials in the palace arrived.
Zhulan thought about it and decided to bring her eldest granddaughter along to give her confidence, hoping to get a few good words from the Queen.
When Zhulan arrived at the Queen's palace, she had a wooden face after paying her respects. She saw the Queen playing cards with several other ladies. Except for the Imperial Concubine, Concubine Chen and Concubine Qi were all there. They looked so happy, just like good sisters.
The Queen Mother asked, "We are short of one person. Is Yang Shuren able to help?"
Zhulan replied, "I will."
She has learned it since Zhou Shuren became an official. It is quite interesting, but she never plays it at home.
The Queen pointed to the empty seat and said, "Sister, please sit here."
Zhulan sat down openly. Seeing that everyone was looking at her purse, she thought to herself that it was a good thing that she had the habit of bringing extra money with her when she went out. Under the fiery gazes, she untied her purse and said, "I am in a hurry to go out."
So don't expect her to bring too much money, you should have some idea of it.
Chen Fei smiled, "We know it, we know it."
Zhulan curled her lips in her heart. No, she felt that they were confused and a little dazed. The Queen asked her to enter the palace just to be a playing partner
Zhulan glanced at her eldest granddaughter. Well, she was already making tea by herself under the guidance of the female official.
After playing a round, Zhulan knew that Concubine Chen and Concubine Qi were in the same group. She saw the Queen's hint. Yes, a hint. Zhulan looked down at her cards with a wooden face. Well, she couldn't win. When it was her turn, "I don't play much, and I don't play well."
Then the cards were played and the Queen smiled. Zhulan thought quietly that it was fortunate that she had a good brain and had memorized the cards from the beginning and had been staring at the Queen, otherwise, she would have lost.
After one round, Zhulan neither won nor lost, but the Queen won a lot. The Queen was happy, "According to the date, Xuehan is about to give birth."
Zhulan smiled and said, "Yes, it will be soon."
The Queen continued, "There is no female elder in the Ning Marquis's Mansion. Now the young couple has moved back to the Duke's Mansion. The Duke's wife is in poor health, and only the Song family is supporting the Duke's Mansion."
Zhulan understood. Playing cards was one thing. This was more important. The Queen was worried about her unborn grandson or granddaughter. Since Zhou Shuren and the Emperor had a showdown last time, she knew that the Queen would also know. "After a few days, I will go over to take care of them."
The queen smiled and said, "That's great. You are very lucky. With you watching over them, the couple can stay together."
These days, her youngest son wished he could stay in the Duke's Mansion every day, and she felt anxious seeing this.
Concubine Chen touched the cards and looked at Concubine Qi who was confused. She couldn't help laughing. Among the four people at the table, only Concubine Qi didn't know. She was at the bottom!
The queen had almost won, so she stopped playing, "This man is too old to sit still."
She continued, "Shu Ren's granddaughter brewed good tea, which suits my taste very well. She is a clever and skillful girl."
Zhu Lan smiled and said, "I don't deserve the Queen's praise."
The queen paused and smiled, "Well deserved, well deserved. Your granddaughter is not only clever and skillful, but also kind and gentle. It's a pity that she's engaged. Your future granddaughter's husband's family is very lucky. They should treat your granddaughter well in the future."
Zhulan and the Queen looked at each other and said, "Well, very good, both of you are very sensible!"
Concubine Chen was stunned. Was this the queen she knew
Concubine Qi's mouth twitched. It was the first time she saw the Queen praising someone like this. The Queen used to be such a cold and aloof person!
Yu Shuang's face turned red, she felt that the Queen was exaggerating!
Zhulan took her granddaughter out of the palace. This trip was worth it. Her granddaughter was praised by the queen and rewarded. The queen gave the reward, and Concubine Chen and Concubine Qi also received rewards.
In fact, even if the Queen Mother didn't mention it, she would also go to take care of her daughter. Her daughter was too young, and she, as a mother, was worried.
After leaving the palace, Yu Shuang held a few boxes and said, "Grandma, why does this seem so unreal to me?"
Zhulan laughed, "Why is it not real?"
Yu Shuang opened her mouth, she just felt it was unreal. She had been nervous all the way into the palace following her grandmother. Unexpectedly, her grandmother went into the palace to play cards, and at the end the Queen Mother praised her a lot. This was not right!
Zhulan patted her granddaughter's hand and said, "The Queen has a good impression of our family and asked me to take care of your aunt, so she praised you."
If there wasn't this relationship with Rongchuan, the Queen wouldn't have praised her. The Queen is a very practical person.
Yu Shuang touched the box and said happily, "Yes."
Yu Shuang was praised by the Queen and rewarded, and this matter must be boasted about.
Zhao no longer missed her husband who was away on a diplomatic mission, nor did she want to trouble the Zhao family. She left home the next day and went directly to her future son-in-law's home.
When we arrived at the mansion, Mrs. Ding was also there, and she brought a few young ladies with her.
When Mrs. Hu saw her future mother-in-law, she stood up and greeted her enthusiastically. She had to be enthusiastic. Who could have thought that Liu Feng's future father-in-law was so capable that he became an official, and his mother-in-law was also a lady. When she knew about it, she was so worried that the Zhou family would regret the engagement. Fortunately, the Zhou family kept their promise, and she was even more grateful in her heart, "It's so hot today, drink some cold tea quickly."
Zhao glanced at Ding and said, "There are quite a lot of people here today."
She was very satisfied as it saved her from having to go to the Gu family.
Ding smiled and said, "I'm not idle and have nothing to do, so come over and chat."
Zhao drank the cold tea and said, "Hey, I was going to come here yesterday, but the palace maid came to the mansion, and my mother-in-law brought Yu Shuang into the palace."
When Mrs. Hu heard this, she realized that her son had also seen the emperor last time thanks to the Zhou family. Now, when she heard that her future daughter-in-law was entering the palace, she waited eagerly for Mrs. Zhao to continue.
Zhao smiled and said, "This girl has been raised by my mother-in-law since she was a child. It's amazing that she has been praised by the Queen Mother and even received a reward. The Queen Mother said that Liu Feng is blessed!"
Mrs. Hu was excited. If her future daughter-in-law was good, her own son would be even better. Mrs. Ding was also happy.
There was just the sound of a teacup falling on the table. Zhao looked over and saw the young lady from Ding's family, squinting her eyes. After watching for a long time, she could see the problem at a glance.
Ding's face changed. When she saw Zhao squinting her eyes, her heart skipped a beat. She looked at Hu again, but Hu's smile had disappeared. Ding pursed her lips, thinking that the two maids from her mother's family were so bold.
In Zhoujia Village, King Liang listened to the guard's words, "Have you found out everything?"
The guard said, "I heard it at first, but then I felt something was wrong and made careful inquiries. I found out that Mr. Zhou's mother is indeed an orphan."
Prince Liang stood up at once. He had investigated Zhou Shuren before, but he had not paid attention to Zhou Shuren's dead parents. Now it seemed that "it was indeed necessary to move the ancestral grave."
