Ran Zheng was completely free now, and he didn't have to worry about himself. His eldest son was doing well outside, and his youngest son was recovering from his injuries. He just had to take care of the family. He relaxed and said with a smile, "Recently I have been forcing a few grandchildren to study. Our Ran Xun is too naughty."
He didn't have time to care about Ran Xun before, but now that his mind is on his grandchildren, he finally knows what Ran Xun has done.
Zhou Shuren quite likes Ran Xun, a kind-hearted little guy. "Ming Teng and Ran Xun are good brothers. They know when to act funny."
Ran Zheng stroked his beard and said, "Ran Xun has grown up this time. He couldn't concentrate on his studies before, but he has been much more serious these past two days."
Zhou Shuren nodded. The Ran family had both good and bad experiences. Now it seemed that there were more good things. Ran Zheng’s grandsons would not have worked so hard before. This incident told them that if they did not work hard, they would be nothing. It was true that fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. At least the three generations of the Ran family did not have to worry.
In the yard, Ran Wan saw Mingyun. She used to look at Mingyun secretly, but this time she raised her head openly and showed a faint smile.
Mingyun looked at her carefully and smiled. His future wife was very strong. She took two steps forward and said, "I wanted to ask if you were okay, but now it seems that's not necessary."
Ran Wan's smile deepened a little, "I'm sorry to have made you worried."
This realization made her feel excited. Zhou Mingyun was very good at disguising himself. If he wasn't worried about her, he wouldn't have come over to ask.
There was a smile in Mingyun's eyes, "Yeah."
Ran Wan blushed, but before she could say anything, Zhou Mingyun had already turned and left.
Xue Han stood in the distance and chatted with her niece, "Mingyun is too reserved, as if he is the girl."
Yu Shuang chuckled, "Aunt, not everyone is like Uncle Rongchuan."
Uncle Rongchuan wanted to let everyone know that he liked his aunt. Everyone has a different personality. It was a great progress that his elder brother could approach Ran Wan and say a few words today.
Xue Han covered her mouth with her fan and said, "You've received many small gifts. I think Gu Liufeng and Rongchuan look alike."
Yu Shuang is not as thick-skinned as her aunt, who has been teased since she was a child. She can't stand it, and her face turned red all of a sudden, "Aunt, you are teasing me."
"You are allowed to tease me, but I am not allowed to tease you back? That doesn't make sense."
Yu Shuang stomped her feet. She couldn't argue with her aunt, so she pulled Yu Lu to find Ran Wan.
Xue Han didn't make trouble with the little girl. She was going to get married, so she said to Liuli, "Let's go back too."
At the Fifth Prince's residence, the Crown Prince and several princes came to see Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang was injured on his forehead, but the forehead was not the most serious part. The most serious part was his leg. Although there was no fracture, it was severely sprained and would take more than a month or two to heal.
King Liang looked around, his gaze was not on Zhang Yang who was pretending to rest, but on his brothers.
The King of Qi shook the tea bowl in his hand but refused to drink. To be precise, ever since the fifth brother was poisoned, he and his brothers have become more cautious about what they drink. They even seldom go to restaurants, let alone eat at their brothers' homes.
The King of Qi had had enough fun and put down his tea bowl. "Fourth Brother, your eyes are darting around. What's wrong? Who are you suspecting?"
King Liang swept his sleeves and said, "Brother, there are many people who suspect you, and second brother was the first to be unable to hold back. Why don't you confess yourself?"
The King of Qi sneered, "I don't know what you are thinking yet. I hope the situation gets more chaotic. If you don't have any evidence, it's the same as saying it. Well, be polite. It's the same as not saying it. You'd better shut up."
The King of Chu laughed happily, especially when the fourth brother was scolded, "Second brother doesn't know yet, but the fourth brother's mouth is getting stinkier and stinkier. I can smell it from far away."
As he spoke, he blocked his nose with a fan, as if he was really being smoked.
The smiling face of the King of Liang turned cold, "Third brother, your nose is so sensitive, and you bark from time to time, it's really annoying."
The King of Chu's face also changed. The fourth brother called him a dog, "Oh, you don't distinguish between the old and the young. The fourth brother is so capable that he doesn't even call me the third brother. That's right, I, the third brother, am not worthy of being called the King of Liang. Everyone knows that the King of Liang is powerful. I am not worthy of being in the eyes of the King of Liang."
The King of Qi watched with a smile as the third and fourth brothers fought with real swords and guns. It was a really interesting scene to see them fighting each other.
The prince fiddled with the bracelet in his hand. The quarrel was a little off-center. He looked at Zhang Yang who was still pretending to be arrogant while lying on the bed. "I don't know when Lao Wu will wake up. If he doesn't wake up, I think it would be better to ask the imperial physician to come and have a look."
Zhang Yang heard the threat and slowly opened his eyes, "Brother Crown Prince, you are here to see your brother."
The King of Qi sneered, "Old Five only has the Crown Prince in his eyes, and we are just his foils?"
Zhang Yang seemed to have just noticed the King of Qi, "Second brother, I just woke up and my mind is still a little confused. I just saw you."
The person he hated the most was the King of Qi. Ever since people said that it would be difficult for him to have children and that he had no children, many people left him. Now, word was spreading that he had no children and he didn't believe it without the King of Qi's doing.
And this time, he traced the injury to the King of Qi. This was going to cost him his life!
The King of Chu was fed up with what he heard. "We all know whether this person is pretending to sleep or not. Old Fifth, you are too fake. You have to let your brother tear off your face."
King Liang remained silent. He really suspected King Qi. Look at the look in his eyes just now.
Zhou Family, Zhulan inadvertently mentioned receiving a letter from the Chu Palace. Qi frowned and said, "Princess Chu, I have met her before. Compared with the small-minded Princess Liang, Princess Chu is more thoughtful. You also know that the only child who survived in the Chu Palace is Princess Chu's son."
Zhulan knew that among the children in the Prince of Chu's mansion, the Princess of Chu had a son, and other concubines had also given birth but they all died. The only ones who were alive now were born in the past two years, and they were all daughters.
It’s a pity that the emperor likes the daughter of the prince, even if she is a concubine. The concubines of other princes’ families do not receive this kind of love.
At that time, Concubine Qi also brought her granddaughter to see the emperor, and the emperor gave her a reward, and then that was it.
It can be said that the backyard of the Prince of Chu's Mansion is controlled by the Princess of Chu.
Qi continued, "I won't receive invitations in the future, but I'll have more free time. But you're different. You'd better be careful about everything. Fortunately, the palace rarely holds banquets."
Zhulan gets a headache whenever she thinks about it.
Qi felt apologetic in her heart. This time it was because of the Ran family that the Zhou family received the invitation.
After Zhulan heard Qi talk about the Princess of Chu and the situation in the Chu Palace's rear quarters, she posted the message hoping to get some information so that she wouldn't be at a loss as to what to do about the Princess of Chu. She wrote down everything that was worth noting to avoid any missteps.
At lunch, Ran Zheng was stunned when he saw the table where the children were sitting. "I just realized today that you have so many grandchildren."
Zhou Shuren said, "Yes, we will have another baby next year."
Ran Zheng took a sip of wine to calm himself down, "I remember your sons were all quite young, especially the fourth one."
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "Yes."
Ran Zheng took another sip of wine. He was still young and would continue to have children. He raised his glass and said, "You've worked so hard."
