Li was not afraid. "Mom, I'm very strong. I'm fine."
Boss Zhou came back to his senses at this time, "I am a father again?"
Zhu Lan chuckled, "Yes, you are a father again."
Boss Zhou did not have the joy of being a father, and said with a bitter face, "Please don't let it be a kid."
The boys in the family have become cunning, so please don't come. Thinking of his daughter, Boss Zhou feels a lot of pressure. His daughter has a huge dowry, and he really doesn't want to have any more children.
Li touched her belly and sighed, "Children are fate."
Zhulan was not very excited about becoming a grandmother again. She had been a grandmother many times before, and children were born one after another in the past few years, so she didn't even have to say anything.
The news of Li's pregnancy soon spread throughout the Zhou Mansion.
Mrs. Li really didn't want to have any more children. Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Dong were really envious. They both wanted a son and were very jealous of their eldest sister-in-law's belly.
Su Xuan was not envious. The twins occupied her entire mind. She planned not to have children before they were three years old. Of course, she would still give birth to the baby if she got pregnant. However, her elder sister-in-law's pregnancy made Su Xuan more cautious, fearing that she might get pregnant.
At the Prince of Qi's mansion, the Prince of Qi waited for Eunuch Liu to leave, his eyes fixed on the jade pendant in the box. This jade pendant was lost the day before, and he couldn't find it after searching everywhere. He swept the teacup to the ground with a big hand, kicked the chair away, and gritted his teeth, "Zhang Yang."
He really underestimated Zhang Yang. Even though Zhang Yang had grown a lot, he still didn't take Zhang Yang seriously. The slap was loud. He was very capable, even more capable than the prince, and his claws had even reached the Prince Qi's Palace.
Princess Qi sat motionless, watching her husband venting. This was the first time in so many years that her husband had suffered such a big loss. After her husband calmed down, Princess Qi spoke, "You have always been careful and cautious, it is impossible for you to lose the jade pendant outside, especially such an important jade pendant. I still insist that the jade pendant was lost in the mansion."
When the King of Qi heard his wife's indifferent tone, his face became even more embarrassed. Men love beauties. There are many beauties in the King of Qi's mansion. There are constant calculations in the backyard, and he sometimes favors his favorites. When his wife said something the day before yesterday, his first reaction was to suppress whoever she wanted to suppress. Over the years, his wife has suppressed the backyard for the sake of her legitimate son.
Princess Qi sneered in her heart. When she married Zhang Jingyang, she had fantasies. But after years of disappointment, her hopes had long been dashed. They were tied together. She and her husband were united for the sake of the position of queen, her mother's family and her son.
Wu stood up and said, "I won't bother you any more. I'll go back first."
The King of Qi opened his mouth, and after the princess left, his face became grim. Wu would not harm him, but the women in the backyard were different. Only a few of them could take the jade pendant without making a sound.
In the Zhou family's garden, Ming Teng hurriedly grabbed Ran Xun's fishing rod, "What are you thinking about? The fish is already hooked."
Ran Xun reached out to help, and after the fish was thrown into the lake, Ran Xun sat silently.
Ming Teng waved his hand in front of Ran Xun's eyes. His friend had been distracted since yesterday. Something was wrong. "Hey, are you bored of staying at my house?"
Ran Xun's eyes looked a little empty, and his voice was a little loud, "Who said that? I don't want to go home."
Ming Teng was startled. "What did I say? You were so loud and scared me."
Ran Xun turned his head, thought for a moment, and then turned back, "Why didn't you see your cousin come to your house today? I remember you said that your cousin was studying with the teacher at your house."
Ming Teng was a bit naive, but he was also a smart kid. He understood everything now and glared at her fiercely, "I'm warning you, don't think about hitting on my cousin. Bah, no, you are not allowed to even think about it, otherwise, we will really break up."
Don't be fooled by the fact that Ran Xun is young, he is very romantic and surrounded by beautiful girls. He is still young, and who knows how many wives he will have when he gets older!
Ran Xun bared his teeth, "I'm just asking, to see your reaction. I want to marry a virtuous wife and beautiful concubines. Don't worry, I know your family likes loyal men. I'm just asking!"
Ming Teng became alert and remained skeptical of Ran Xun's words. He stopped fishing and said, "Come on, you've been here for a few days. You should go home."
Ran Xun, "... Are you chasing me away?"
"That's good to know."
As he said this, he instructed the servant beside him to ask the butler to prepare the carriage.
When Ran Xun saw that this guy was really serious, he said, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who eats grass in my own backyard? Why are you so wary of me?"
Ming Teng nodded, "I can rest assured if others are okay, but forget about you. Don't come to my house in the future!"
Ran Xun, "... You are so cruel."
Ming Teng was really scared because he had too many sisters in his family. Although, except for his cousin, Yuyi and the others were much younger than Ran Xun, he still had to be on guard!
Zhulan was in her daughter's yard, admiring the wedding dress that was almost finished.
Su Xuan liked it very much. She reached out and touched it. "Mom, let me try it on. The material given in the palace is better than that outside. My wedding dress is completely inferior to it."
Zhulan smiled and said, "Your wedding dress is also very luxurious, it's not as exaggerated as you say."
Xue Han picked up the wedding dress, blushing, "Fourth sister-in-law, the wedding dress is not finished yet, I will try it after it is finished."
Su Xuan smiled and said, "When you get married, I guarantee that Rong Chuan will stay."
Xue Han blushed, "Fourth sister-in-law."
Zhulan gestured to hang up the wedding dress, which was embroidered by her daughter stitch by stitch, and she said to Su Xuan, "Don't bully Xuehan."
Seeing that her mother-in-law had spoken, Su Xuan stopped bullying her sister-in-law and thought about what gift to give as a dowry.
The next day, during the morning court session, Zhou Shuren saw Zhang Yang. There was some tension between the King of Qi and Zhang Yang. Zhou Shuren arrived a little late, and he didn't know what the King of Qi said. He only saw that Zhang Yang's face looked surprisingly ugly.
Xiao Qing lowered his voice and said, "Look away."
Zhou Shuren lowered his head, wondering how Zhang Yang could have come into conflict with the King of Qi. Thinking of Zhang Yang's hint to him, he wondered if Zhang Yang had done something behind his back again!
Zhou Shuren glanced at the King of Chu and the King of Liang. The two of them stood there as if they were watching a show, and it was so obvious that they were gloating over someone else's misfortune.
The Emperor and the Crown Prince arrived a little late. The Emperor seemed not to have noticed the secret struggles among the princes. The court announced the policy towards foreigners one by one.
Zhou Shuren listened and made some changes to what he had written, adding a lot of things. However, the emperor did not take out all of them at once.
Obviously, the policy had been discussed, and some ministers had already agreed on it, so it was passed smoothly, and they also praised the emperor for his wisdom.
Zhou Shuren's heart was bleeding. For all his contribution, he was only rewarded with 20,000 taels. What a loss.
After the court session, the ministers were all talking about it, but when the King of Chu spoke, the hall became quiet again.
King Chu said, "Brother, I heard that the jade pendant you lost was found by our father. I am very curious about how this jade pendant was lost!"
Prince Liang answered, "Third brother, you are not well-informed. The fifth brother entered the palace yesterday. Look at the tone of the second brother to the fifth brother just now. Could it be that the fifth brother stole it?"
