Zhulan peeled the grape skin, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Mrs. Liu signaled the girls to go down and said in a low voice: "The Queen reprimanded Princess Chu, and Concubine Qi sent several people into Prince Chu's Mansion."
Zhulan was so surprised that she forgot to spit out the grape seeds and swallowed them together, "How do you know so clearly?"
Liu said mysteriously: "Of course I have a source of information. How can you be happy? Princess Chu has always targeted you. She is not happy this time. It seems that she has gone too far."
Zhulan really didn't hear the news. This was the gap. The Zhou family still didn't know the news well. "Do you know why the Queen reprimanded Princess Chu."
The Empress will not care about Prince Chu's Mansion. The more fierce the fight in the backyard of Prince Chu's Mansion, the better.
Mrs. Liu spread her hands and said, "I don't know. It's hard to guess the Queen's thoughts, especially in the past six months. I think she is trying to suppress the Chu Palace."
Zhulan felt that it was not simple. She would not care about it sooner or later. She should be happy to take action now. Princess Chu had no energy to care about anything else now.
In the evening, Wu Ming came to the Zhou family for dinner. After dinner, Zhou Shuren took Wu Ming to the study.
Zhou Shuren came back after Zhulan took a bath. Zhulan wiped her hair and asked, "What did Wu Ming tell you?"
Zhou Shuren took the handkerchief from his wife and helped her wipe her hair, "Wu Ming said that after the emperor's birthday, the Feng family will end their control over the Ministry of Rites."
Zhulan counted the days, "It won't be long."
Zhou Shuren hummed, "Zhang Yang was injured recently and stayed at home. This time, Zhang Yang was taught a lesson and did not dare to be arrogant. Instead, he became cautious. King Qi was once again thrown into chaos by Zhang Yang. The Chen family was dragged into the water and all the lawsuits were in progress. Only the remaining The King of Liang is the only one in the family, and the King of Liang is more courageous. "
He targeted the prince several times in court.
Zhulan said: "Not to mention Prince Liang, even Princess Liang feels like she is the crown prince."
Zhou Shuren lowered his voice and said, "The emperor has been feeling unwell in the past two days."
"How do you know? In recent months, the emperor can summon you, and it is not the month for morning court."
Zhou Shuren put down the handkerchief and took the comb to comb his wife's hair, "Although the emperor doesn't summon me as frequently as before, there is still a pattern, especially in the months when I don't go to court. The emperor has not summoned me these days, so I didn’t see any ministers, so I guessed he was feeling unwell.”
Zhulan tilted her head and said, "If you say so, it seems that Rong Chuan has not entered the palace in the past few days."
"How can a person not get sick, but the emperor's illness is a big deal, especially now, when several princes are keeping an eye on him!"
Zhulan thought for a moment and said, "The emperor won't be pretending on purpose. He likes fishing very much."
Zhou Shuren shook his head, "The current situation is not the time to pretend to be sick. I also went to take a shower."
"Um."
The next day, Zhou Mansion received a message from Shen Hou Mansion. Shen Hou Mansion seemed to have disappeared recently. This was the first time this year that someone was invited.
Zhulan had never paid attention to the Shen family, so she asked someone to inquire about it, only to find out that Mrs. Shen Shizi had returned to Beijing.
Xuehan asked, "Mom, do you want to go by yourself?"
Zhulan thought about it and said, "I'll take you there."
"I have met County Master Shen several times. County Master Shen is also very low-key. My daughter heard that County Master Shen was very prosperous when he was unmarried. Now the Yaohou Mansion is low-key. Prince Yao cannot be reused in the Ministry of War. County Master Shen even There are fewer invitations.”
Zhulan heard Shuren say that Yao Zheyu wanted to go to the navy. Just as the Yang family valued the navy, Yao Zheyu also wanted to work hard, but unfortunately he failed. Last time Shuren and Liu Jing had dinner, they saw Yao Zheyu who was drunk.
Zhulan didn't want to mention Yao Zheyu, "Go back and prepare."
In Duke Ning's Mansion, Ms. Song lowered her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, sitting silently. Ning Zhiqi was anxiously looking around, "Mom just said, isn't there still grandma? Grandma won't agree."
Mrs. Song was furious and cried even harder, "Look who mother is talking about. Ning Ting is the eldest daughter and granddaughter. Why didn't mother inquire more about me? I know mother doesn't like me, but Ning Ting She is her granddaughter. If my mother-in-law hadn't stopped her, would my mother have agreed? "
When Mrs. Song thought about her first daughter, her mother-in-law tried to keep her husband in check and didn't show her dissatisfaction with her. It was just that her mother-in-law didn't dare to say anything because of her grandmother's pressure. Later, when she gave birth to a son, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law That's when everything is at peace.
Now her mother-in-law did not dare to express her dissatisfaction to her grandma, and the dissatisfaction in her heart was directed at her. The more she thought about it, the harder Mrs. Song cried. It was not easy for her. She had to maintain the relationship between husband and wife with her husband and endure it at the same time. Mother-in-law, when she thought about it, if grandma was gone, the backyard would not be covered by her mother-in-law.
The more Ms. Song thought about it, the angrier she became. When she thought about the word "filial piety" pressing down on her, her eyes turned black.
When Ning Zhiqi discovered that his wife had fainted and was pregnant with a child, she was so frightened that she called for a doctor.
In the past, he didn't dare to hire an imperial doctor. For the sake of his mother's face, he always hired a family doctor. But this time he couldn't do it. The condition of his wife's pregnancy was not good to begin with. His wife was on one side and his mother was on the other, which made him feel extremely hurt.
Du was the last to come, and the imperial doctor had already seen her. She was suffering from anxiety and had fetal gas, and needed a good rest.
The Duke's wife wanted to hit Mrs. Du with a cane, "I have the final say in Ning Ting's marriage. Don't be fooled by just a few words of praise. Fortunately, Zhiqi's wife is fine this time. If something happens, let's see how I deal with you."
Mrs. Du couldn't help but, Ms. Yu was still there, and she knew she was wrong. At that time, it sounded like she had a good family background, but she was an uneducated person. She lowered her head and said, "Mom, I really don't know."
"I don't want to hear you right now."
Ning Ting pursed her lips in the bedroom. She had known since she was a child that her grandma didn't like her mother, so she talked sweetly, not only to please her grandma, but also to tease her, but her grandma never took her to heart.
In the palace, the prince listened to the sound of his father sneezing. His father had caught a cold in the past two days and drank medicine for two days, but his father was not much better.
The prince's thoughts were a little wandering. He didn't expect that his father had hidden his illness from everyone but not him. This sometimes meant that his father trusted him the most. Even if his brothers were jumping around, his father's mind had not changed.
Eunuch Liu came in with the medicine. The prince looked at the medicine bowl in front of him and confirmed that Eunuch Liu had sent it correctly. He picked it up carefully. He forced his hands not to shake. After steadying himself, he took the medicine and went to the small kang. "Father, the emperor , the medicine is ready."
The emperor had a very strong nasal voice. During the two days he went to court, he did not speak. He sat up, took the bowl, and drank it in one gulp. It was bitter in his mouth when he put the bowl down.
The prince brought the boiling water and said, "Father, rinse your mouth."
The emperor's mouth was bitter but he could bear it, and he shook his head, "No, I have been thinking a lot in the past two days. I was sick when I was a child."
The prince has never heard his father mention his childhood. This is the first time he has heard his father mention it.
