Zhulan could guess what Li was thinking from her face, "If the Queen really wanted to care, she would have done it long ago."
Li didn't believe it, "Wasn't it a bad reputation before?"
The prince has many concubines and wives, all of whom are his biological sons. Could it be that the queen really doesn't care? She had already guessed whether the queen had pointed out a concubine to Rongchuan.
Zhulan's intuition was very accurate. If the queen wanted to intervene, she would have done so long ago. Since she didn't intervene, she won't intervene in the future. "Your worry is unnecessary."
Li felt that her mother-in-law was too confident, "Mother, not everyone can be a good mother-in-law like you."
Zhulan thought that she, as a good mother-in-law, had brought her a lot of hatred. If it weren't for her gradual changes in status, she would have heard countless sarcastic words.
Zhao, "Mother, my sister and her husband did not return to Ning Mansion, but returned to her parents' home instead. Will they never return to Ning Marquis Mansion in the future?"
Zhu Lan, "Well, I heard from your father that the Fifth Prince's mansion was chosen a long time ago, and Rongchuan's things in the Marquis' Mansion have been transported almost all the way, and they can move in as soon as Rongchuan returns to the royal family after the sacrifice. Now they are no longer suitable to live in Ning Marquis' Mansion."
She thought the couple would live in the palace until they moved into the prince's mansion, but unexpectedly, they would return to her parents' home.
Su Xuan continued, "What about the original Fifth Prince's Mansion?"
Zhulan really knew, "I am still checking it carefully. After the inspection is complete, I will give it to the meritorious person."
There were many people who made contributions in this palace coup, but they were not rewarded. The rewards would have to wait until the crown prince ascended the throne.
Su Xuan lowered her voice and asked, "Where does the Yao family live?"
Zhulan, "The Ministry of Revenue has seized it, and we are just waiting for the regulations to come out to divide it up and sell it."
Some people are superstitious about it, but many people are not. Many people died in the capital during the ten years of war, but there are still many people who want it. The location of the Yao family's residence is still very good.
At the Ningguo Mansion, Xue Han and Rong Chuan went to the study and found Song. Now they could no longer call her cousin's wife, but "cousin's wife."
Song was really surprised when she found out, but it turned out to be true. All the unreasonable things made sense. She took Xue Han's hand and said, "I didn't have a chance to talk to you properly a few days ago. I've always wanted to talk to you!"
Xue Han, "Me too, how is everything going with my cousin's wife?"
Song's face was full of joy. "Okay, I'm fine now, but I'm a little busy. By the way, you may not know that your second cousin's wife and your second cousin have been staying in the Duke's Mansion these days."
Xue Han understood. Rongchuan was a prince, and her third uncle's title was vacant. She had no right to comment now, so she just smiled.
Song had no other intention in saying this. She actually hoped that it would work out so that she and her husband could help each other in the future. It was a pity that her third uncle didn't want to see Ning Zhixiang and his wife.
As she was talking, Yu came. Before she even stepped into the house, she said, "I was wondering why the magpies kept chirping today. It turns out there is an honored guest. Let me see the Fifth Prince's wife."
Xue Han was used to this name; the palace servants called her that. The quality of her clothes was also that of a prince's consort. This time when she entered the palace, her mother even gave her two boxes of jewelry.
Xue Han smiled and said, "Second cousin."
As soon as Yu came in, she was attracted by Xue Han's outfit. It was a high-grade costume. Looking at the headdress, she felt that Zhou Xue Han was so lucky to have become the prince's consort and the future princess.
Ministry of Rites, Chang Yi had been hiding for a few days, but today he failed and was stopped by several foreign officials.
Chang Yi was surprised, "Why are you all here looking for me?"
Aaron no longer regarded Zhou Changyi as an honest man. He was obviously very cunning. They had blocked him for several days in a row, but they finally caught him today. Aaron said, "We are here for the people in the prison. There must be a misunderstanding."
Changyi felt that the foreigners were really shameless, and simply ignored the evidence of the ointment that harmed people, "You didn't sell the Zhang family gunpowder cannon?"
Aaron, “We sell to many countries and merchants.”
Chang Yi sneered. He didn't believe it. It's not like he had never been abroad. "I have been an envoy to some countries."
Aaron choked, he and several other people entered the court as officials not to be interpreters, they wanted to use what they had learned to gain the emperor's trust, but unfortunately the emperor only wanted them to be interpreters.
Among the people arrested this time was the son of the Duke of their country, which made the situation even more difficult. How could Aaron not be anxious when thinking about bringing charges against them
Aaron cannot reveal the true identities of several people yet.
Aaron wanted to say something, but Chang Yi was very busy and didn't want to listen. His father was right. These people wanted to serve as officials in the court with a purpose. "I have something else to do. I'll go first."
Aaron looked at Zhou Changyi's back and cursed him under his breath.
Johns said, "It seems we can only wait for the prince and others who are on the diplomatic mission to arrive."
Due to their identities, the emperor cannot see them, and they cannot see him at all. They have been hitting a wall everywhere these days and they really have no other choice.
In the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren lowered his head, and suddenly the light in front of his eyes was blocked. He looked up and saw the prince standing in front of the table, looking through the memorials he had just processed.
Zhou Shuren stood up quickly and said, "I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince personally helped Zhou Shuren up, "Master Zhou, please don't be polite."
Zhou Shuren stood up and asked, "Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here at the Ministry of Revenue?"
The prince sat down and said, "I haven't been out of the palace for a while. I was walking and came to the Ministry of Revenue. I just happened to have something to say to you, my Lord, so I came in."
Zhou Shuren got the signal and sat down. "Your Highness, do you want to ask the foreigners?"
The prince smiled and said, "Master Zhou really understands me."
Zhou Shuren thought to himself, it's not that he understands the prince, he just understands the prince's ambition, "How is the prince going to deal with the people in the prison?"
The prince nodded, "Several foreign masters have been very active recently."
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "He was really jumping up and down."
The prince stared at Zhou Shuren with burning eyes, "I agree with your words, it's just that it involves several countries, if we don't handle one of them well, there will be endless troubles."
If it weren't for the war in the south and because he was going to succeed to the throne, he would have wanted to fight with real weapons.
Zhou Shuren didn't think that the prince didn't have any ideas in his mind. He also wanted to take this opportunity to know what the prince was thinking. "Does the prince have any ideas?"
The prince fiddled with the jade pendant on his waist. "I have a lot of ideas. I want to revise the law, uh, laws targeting foreigners, and I also want to set up a credit list."
Zhou Shuren was stunned when he heard the credit list. This is what he said to some officials in the Ministry of Revenue, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has a good idea."
The prince smiled and said, "I knew that Lord Zhou understood me."
He won't be satisfied unless he skins the foreigners alive!
The prince added, "News has come from the southern port that the diplomatic fleet is about to arrive. By the way, the picture albums publicizing the dangers have been distributed to various states, and they are also preparing to compose a drama to spread the word."
Zhou Shuren's eyes sparkled, "This method is very good."
The effect of two-pronged publicity will be better.
At Zhou's house, Zhulan and Rongchuan came back in the afternoon. Zhulan wanted to ask about her daughter, but Rongchuan was there, so she didn't want to leave her daughter alone.
Unexpectedly, after dinner, Rongchuan and his wife came over together.
