Chapter 1732 High Danger
Zhulan wanted to leave as many collectible things as possible for future generations, and spent a lot of money on this.
Zhou Shuren said: "Then I'll wait and see the finished product."
Zhulan smiled and said, "Okay."
The couple had crabs for dinner, but the crabs were cold, so they didn't eat much. After dinner, they went out for a walk.
Zhulan admired the scenery and said, "It's really enjoyable."
In modern times, it is not possible to own such a house in the capital, and the environment would not be as good as it is now.
Zhou Shuren laughed, "Thank me quickly."
Zhulan was happy, "I appreciate your efforts, Lord Hou."
If Zhou Shuren hadn't climbed to his current position, she wouldn't have been able to live a comfortable life even if she had the ability to make money.
No one in Pingzhou dared to mess with the Zhou family. The county lord had to be polite every time he went to Zhoujia Village because of Shu Ren's power.
Zhou Shuren raised his chin and said, "Help me go back."
Zhu Lan smiled with a fake smile, "You are a little too proud!"
Zhou Shuren coughed and said, "As a husband, help your wife go back."
Zhulan stretched out her chubby hand and said, "Let's go."
"Okay."
Afterwards, the couple looked at each other and laughed out loud. Even though they are old, they still joke when it’s time to joke and they are in a particularly good mood!
The servants fell back a few steps and smiled when they heard the laughter. As a servant, who doesn't want to have a good master? They thought they were willing to fight, but they didn't seek to be bullied!
As a servant in the mansion of Marquis Zhou, one can get married when he reaches the age and can continue to work in the mansion or go to the manor, all depending on one's own wishes. The servants in the mansion of Marquis Zhou are envied by most of the servants in the capital.
The next day, Zhulan knew what Shuren was talking about. General Yu's legitimate daughter would enter the palace after the anniversary of the death of the retired emperor.
Zhulan thought to herself that the Emperor was truly a good father. He planned everything himself and, without using the Crown Prince, he also made some people turn their attention away from the Crown Princess.
Xue Han whispered, "Mother, Rongchuan said that the emperor's goal is military power."
Zhulan knows more than Rongchuan. Rongchuan has been writing scriptures in the palace. After the death of the emperor, Rongchuan has only entered the palace once!
Xue Han added: "I went to see the Crown Princess. Fortunately, she is in good health. She will be fine after taking some pregnancy-maintaining medicine."
"I'm glad you're alright."
Otherwise, there will be another bloody storm.
It is not easy for the emperor to get angry with the resident military generals, because not only do they hold military power, but also because of their military merits, some of them may have evil hearts and their military merits cannot be erased. In addition, some of the in-laws between the military generals also give the emperor a headache.
The purpose of selecting the legitimate daughters of the remaining generals to enter the palace now is to divide some people.
Xue Han added: "There is news that the Crown Princess is expecting a boy this time."
Zhulan, "Why didn't I hear that?"
"You don't care, I've heard the news."
Zhulan's mind worked quickly, "They must have spread the rumor on purpose. The Crown Princess' miscarriage was caused by the rumor."
Xue Han lowered her voice, "They are all afraid of the eldest son."
Zhu Lan sneered, "Someone deliberately spread the news. It was a good plan."
Xue Han pointed to the sky and said, "It's all because of this."
The emperor's eldest son succeeded to the throne, and the crown prince is also the eldest son. Currently, the emperor has been suppressing several princes. Everyone can see that the crown prince's position is stable. Some people also want to wait until the emperor is older and then become suspicious of the crown prince, but with the precedent of the emperor emeritus abdicating, everyone will think more about it.
Now everyone is eyeing the Crown Prince's backyard, and the Crown Princess's pregnancy has become a thorn in their eyes. It would be best if the Crown Princess cannot give birth, and the next best thing is that she can only give birth to daughters!
Zhulan said: "It is dangerous for the Crown Princess to give birth."
The ambitions of the aristocratic families are insatiable. Who doesn’t want to produce an emperor with their own bloodline!
Xue Han said quietly, "Being a Crown Princess wasn't this dangerous before."
The Queen is also the Crown Princess, so there is no danger when the Queen gives birth.
Zhulan was amused, "It is no surprise that all three emperors are legitimate eldest sons."
Since his eldest son has succeeded to the throne, he naturally hopes that the heir will have the same status. Then, being a Crown Princess would become a high-risk job!
A few days later, the news that the emperor was taking a concubine exploded in the hearts of the generals, causing cracks in the close relationship with the Yu family. However, no one thought about whether Miss Yu could successfully enter the palace as a concubine a year later.
Zhulan and her husband talked about it, and they agreed that this young lady from the Yu family only had a year to live.
Zhou Shuren had guessed that the emperor was not prepared to have any more children, but it had never been confirmed.
After a few more days, the number of memorials against the Zheng family decreased, but there were many more memorials against the Yu family. Not only from the Yu family, but also from several military generals. The situation became very lively.
Zhou Shuren never talks much. Even if the emperor talks to him, he will not comment. Let the emperor deal with the military power himself.
That day the emperor said, "I never thought the patent fees would be so high."
Zhou Shuren said excitedly, "It is beyond my expectation that the Ministry of Industry can save a lot of money every year with the patent fees. Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry can save money. I can consider your proposal."
emperor,"."
No, that’s not what he meant. He wanted to say that the Ministry of Revenue also collected a lot of patent fees!
Zhou Shuren sneered in his heart, wanting to deduct money from him, bah.
The emperor had a toothache and said, "This year is very prosperous."
"We are poor. The reservoir has not been repaired yet, and the river bank that was built before needs to be inspected. Yes, the navy lost a battleship a few days ago. I don't think we are rich anymore."
The navy had a fight with pirates. It makes me angry to mention this. Pirates are indeed pirates. They don’t have weapons and ships. I don’t know if there is one country or multiple countries behind them. Anyway, the court lost a battleship.
The emperor's face was not good either. "They are developing very quickly."
Zhou Shuren also admitted, "So if we don't make progress, we will go backwards."
The emperor was still proud in his heart. Two warships were besieged, and one sank after returning to the port, while the other side was completely wiped out. "You are right. In the future, we should guard against foreigners, not the people on the grassland."
On the street, Yu Wen and Gu Sheng were drinking tea together. This time there was no one else around, so the two of them sat by the window and drank tea openly, as if they had met by chance.
Yuwen asked, "Will that Lord Ji bother you again?"
Gu Sheng was also speechless, "Not as frequent as before, but they still give gifts from time to time."
Yu Wen touched the teacup and said, "I heard someone came to see you."
Gu Sheng looked at the people walking on the street and said, "Well, I didn't see any of them."
He had been to the palace more times than Zhuo Guyu. He knew why they were looking for him and replied straightforwardly.
Yuwen was in a good mood. Just when she was about to speak, she saw Zoya. Zoya was not alone. After getting married, Zoya wore her hair in a bun. She did not look happy as a newlywed, but rather had an impatient look on her face.
When Zoya saw An He, she took a deep breath and wanted to turn around and leave. However, when she saw Mr. Gu, her eyes widened and her face became even worse.
Zoya didn't understand what was wrong with her elder brother, so she stepped forward and said, "I've met the county lord."
Yu Wen raised her eyebrows, "You haven't congratulated me on your wedding yet, it's not too late to congratulate me today."
Zoya, "."
I'm so angry. She doesn't look happy at all.
Yuwen asked again: "Do you have anything else to do? If nothing happens, just block the light."
Zoya pinched her fingers and said, "I never thought the county lord's vision was just like this."
Yuwen pointed at the person who came in after Zoya, "Well, you have good taste."
Zoya, "."
