Xue Han frowned and said, "The children are too young. Rong Chuan and I are not planning to take them out of the capital. The Queen knows about this and wants to take the two children into the palace."
Zhulan understood, "You don't want the two children to enter the palace?"
Xue Han was worried, "Mom, you also know that my father and mother dote on Linxi and Ze'er, so how could the princes in the palace not have any opinions? The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince don't care because they are legitimate sons and often see my father and mother, but the other princes can't show it on their faces, but they must dislike Linxi and Ze'er in their hearts."
"Are you afraid that Linxi and Ze'er will be bullied?"
Xue Han, as a mother, is not afraid of anything else except that her children will be bullied. "Well, they won't bully me directly, but I can't say for sure if they will trip me up behind my back. The Qin Palace is simple, and the two children are growing up in love. They are young, so it's inevitable that they will be naive about people and things. I'm afraid."
Zhulan held her daughter's hand. Her daughter was afraid that the two children would be bullied. She was also afraid that the two children would lose their innocence when they entered the palace this time. Her daughter did not want the children to face calculations and conspiracies too early.
Sending the two children into the palace means entering a vortex. No matter how well the queen protects them, she cannot take care of everything. The women in the harem are always busy and scheming.
Sometimes, the women in the harem fight not because they truly love the emperor, but for their family and their children.
Zhulan asked, "What did Rongchuan say?"
"He said this might be what the Emperor meant."
Zhulan, "Where is the emperor?"
Xue Han was stunned. She and Rong Chuan were anxious and worried. Out of parental nature, they ignored a lot. "Mother, father also agrees with your idea."
If I disagree, my father will not remain silent.
Zhu Lan patted her daughter's hand and said, "It should be the Emperor who suggested it, and then the Emperor mentioned it to the Empress. The Empress agreed readily, and she must have some selfish motives."
After a pause, he continued, "As you said, the Qin Palace is simple, but Linxi and Ze'er are royal heirs. They have been worry-free for many years and it's time for them to grow up. This is the intention of the emperor. You go down and be ruthless, and the emperor will help you."
Of course, the retired emperor couldn't bring himself to teach the child himself, so he simply passed the buck to the emperor and the empress, and kept him in the palace for a few months, out of sight and out of heart.
Xue Han smiled bitterly, "My heart softened after I became a mother. Rongchuan and I hope that our children will be happy all their lives, but we subconsciously ignore the fact that they are royal heirs."
"It's not your fault. Rongchuan grew up among the common people. It's normal that he didn't notice it for a while."
The main reason was that the Prince Qin's Mansion was too simple, so the couple automatically ignored it. However, the retired emperor kept keeping an eye on it, and this was Rongchuan's treatment.
In the academy, Changzhong was flipping through a book and pushed away Wen Xiao who was blocking the light.
Wen Xiao staggered after being pushed, but he quickly steadied himself and came closer, "Your family has also received the news, right?"
Changzhong knew he couldn't read anymore, so he closed the book and asked, "What's the news?"
Wen Xiao, "Don't pretend, everyone basically knows the news, and your family must know about it, so you should be the one leaving Beijing."
Changzhong naturally knew about it. His father had already told him and Mingrui about it. He didn't care about this opportunity because he had his own plans.
Seeing that Changzhong didn't say anything, Wen Xiao determined that it was Changzhong who went, and said with dissatisfaction in his tone, "Our Wen Rong can't go, so why did you directly book Wen Qi from the second house? How am I worse than Wen Qi?"
Chang Zhong thought, although he had never met Wen Qi, but according to Wen Xiao's personality, even if he was Mr. Wen, he would choose Wen Qi, "Are you not convinced that you were not chosen, or did you not give him a chance to compete?"
Wen Xiao sat down angrily, "Maybe both."
After Chang Zhong got to know Wen Xiao, he no longer felt that Wen Xiao was difficult to get along with. He was just a spoiled child, so he would not spoil Wen Xiao. "Don't complain to me. If you have the guts, tell your grandfather."
Wen Xiao snorted, "Do you think I didn't say anything?"
All the good things in the family belong to the first and second wives. The third wife also has the legitimate son and grandson. Grandpa favors Wen Rong, and now it's Wen Qi. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, so he raised the table.
Seeing that Chang Zhong ignored him again, Wen Xiao raised his voice a lot, "You are someone who has no shortage of resources since birth, you don't understand me at all."
Changzhong twitched his lips, "I don't want to understand you either."
Wen Xiao's face turned even darker. He hated Zhou Changzhong at first, but after getting along with him for a long time, he found that he could only talk to Zhou Changzhong in the academy. He was unwilling to pay attention to those who flattered him, and he would miss those who ignored him more.
After school, Mingrui came out first to wait for his uncle and Minghui. He immediately followed his uncle's tail. He was used to it.
When they arrived at the entrance of the academy, Wen Xiao walked straight past the crowd with his chin held high.
Minghui was speechless, "He's been playing for almost two years, and he still hasn't had enough?"
Chang Zhong, "Don't worry about him, he's also angry!"
Mingrui, "Is there any day when he is not angry?"
Minghui and Mingjia looked at each other, and both brothers laughed. Changzhong couldn't help laughing too.
The next morning, Zhou Shuren attended the morning court. While waiting for the emperor, Zhou Shuren and other ministers looked at the sky. The sky was overcast today, and they were discussing whether it would snow.
When the emperor came, there were snowflakes on his head, obviously it had snowed outside. The emperor's gloomy mood finally improved.
You know, it's almost the end of the year and there have only been a few snowfalls.
The atmosphere of today's morning court was very good. Prince Qi and others also attended the court. After the court, Prince Qi and others stayed, while Zhou Shuren left the palace with Rongchuan.
Zhou Shuren was curious, "Why didn't you stay today?"
Rong Chuan held the umbrella for his father, and the position where he stood was just right to block the wind. Because the wind was a bit strong, he lowered his head slightly and said, "Today, the emperor is looking for Prince Qi and others. It has nothing to do with me."
Zhou Shuren's mind turned, "Is it about the prince's trip next year?"
Rongchuan nodded, "Yeah."
He had an errand to perform and took a different route from the Crown Prince. In fact, even if the Crown Prince was able to get through, the Emperor would not let him follow him, for fear that the Crown Prince would become dependent on him. It was different for the Prince of Qi and others, as they were not his biological uncles, so let alone being dependent on him, they would be more on guard against him.
Zhou Shuren thought of what his wife said yesterday, "It would be good for them to send Linxi and Ze'er to the palace."
Rongchuan smiled and said, "Xuehan told me when she got back. It is true that I overlooked it. I have already promised it."
"Well, but we should be prepared in case we are really bullied. In fact, it is okay to file a complaint appropriately."
Rongchuan was happy, "I'll remember that."
As if Zhou Shuren had not said what he just said, the old man stretched out his hand to catch the goose feather-sized snowflakes, "This is a big snowfall."
Rongchuan said: "Yes, it has accumulated snow for a whole winter."
Zhou Shuren sighed, "The progress of the city's reconstruction is still slow."
The capital city has been gradually rebuilt over the years, but the pace has been slow due to resettlement issues. However, the capital city is considered good because it is the center of power and all policies will benefit the capital city first, while the people in other states will have difficulties.
