Chapter 1736: Elder Sister is Like Mother

Zhulan was really confused. Ever since Shangguan Jia's wedding, the women in the Shangguan family, unlike the men, had become very low-key and never attended unnecessary banquets. After the Crown Princess became pregnant, she basically stayed indoors.

The Zhouhou Mansion and the Shangguan family did not have frequent contacts, so sending an invitation to their home was surprising.

In the evening, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren said, "I've been thinking about it all day and still can't figure it out."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

They won't come unless there's something important. The Shangguan family is as cautious as the Ning family. No one knows what the future will be like, but now they are very clear and have the prince's trust!

Zhu Lan whispered, "It's not easy for the Shangguan family either. The Crown Princess has been scheming since she became pregnant."

The Crown Princess is just a target, and she naturally attracts hatred. As long as the child is not born safely, the Shangguan family will never have peace of mind.

Zhou Shuren, "We'll know tomorrow."

Then, when Zhou Shuren went to court, he found out why. Yesterday, Lord Shangguan was on vacation and did not attend court, but he did today. He came to express gratitude as soon as the court was over.

Zhou Shuren was stunned for a moment. Old Master Shangguan whispered the reason. The Shangguan family had never expected that their embroiderer had been bought off and the clothes she made had been tampered with.

Zhou Shuren digested it for a while, "Did Yujiao remind you?"

The old man smiled and said, "This girl has always been smart."

She came to the official residence quite often. She was Zhou Shuren's youngest granddaughter. She was cute and quite likable.

Zhou Shuren said: "Ms. Shangguan must have heard it."

If someone else were to do the same thing, they might not listen.

The old man said, "They have a good relationship with each other."

This was also what he was happy to see. Girls' friendships were easily overlooked, but sometimes they could be effective.

Zhou Shuren clicked his tongue in his heart, thinking that the Shangguan family's backyard was not well guarded. But then again, it would be difficult to guard it well if there were too many calculations.

But using the Shangguan family to harm the Crown Princess is a vicious move.

At Zhouhou Mansion, Zhulan also heard what Old Lady Shangguan said, "Yujiao has heard too many stories."

The old lady said, "It's better to listen more."

The Shangguan family's backyard is also very strict. The eldest daughter is strictly disciplined and is taught about some matters in the backyard, but there are times when they are negligent. This time, there was an oversight, and fortunately, no bad consequences were caused.

The Shangguan family has been involved, and only if the Crown Princess treats the Shangguan family well can things go more smoothly.

Zhu Lan added: "Just don't mind her talking too much."

"Don't mind. I like Yujiao."

My daughters are all quiet and generous, very few of them are lively. Yujiao is lively and quite cute.

Zhulan didn't ask how the Crown Princess was doing. She said a few more words to Yujiao before sending the thanking old lady away. After the others left, she pointed to the box and said to Qingxue, "Give it to Yujiao."

This is what Yujiao deserves. This girl is kind-hearted.

Yujiao saw a pile of boxes and asked, "Are these all for me?"

Qingxue smiled and said, "Yes, the Shangguan family wants to thank you, young lady."

Yujiao opened the box. The Shangguan family had a lot of good things. Looking at the jewelry and jade, she said, "This is too much."

Qingxue said: "Miss, you deserve it."

Yu Jiao held the box and said, "Grandma has accepted it, so I won't be polite."

She wanted to divide the jewelry among them, giving each sister a portion, and keep the rest to add to her own trousseau, all of which were good things.

Yujiao waited for Qingxue to leave. She was about to show off her sister's cold face, so she shrank her neck and said, "I won't dare to talk nonsense again."

Yuyi stood up and took out the scripture. "This is a good thing, but it can't cover up your boldness. Don't go out recently. Read a scripture every day."

The Zhou Marquis Mansion did not participate in the fight, and the Shangguan family trusted the Zhou Marquis Mansion, so there were no extra mistakes.

No matter what, Yujiao's temper still needs to be tempered.

Yu Jiao swallowed her saliva and said, "One volume a day?"

Damn it, the scripture my sister is holding has more than 5,000 words!

Yuyi, "If you can't finish writing, you won't want to know the consequences."

Yu Jiao, "!!"

Then Jingwen's hands began to tremble. When will her elder sister get married? An elder sister is like a mother. She didn't want to feel it anymore.

Zhulan smiled when she heard the news. Yuyi didn't have to worry about Yujiao's upbringing.

Qingxue said: "If the Marquis's Mansion ruins the plan, people will hate it."

Zhu Lan smiled sarcastically, "Do you really think that the Shangguan family is fine as long as they don't cause trouble? The emperor and the prince won't investigate? But they don't have time to bear grudges against our Marquis' Mansion."

After a few days, Zhulan knew who was behind the plot. She could see clearly at a glance who the Shangguan family impeached in the memorial.

The first time the Shangguan family held on to someone, it was also intended to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. Even with daily precautions, there can still be loopholes. The next time they act ruthlessly, it may make some people think more clearly and think twice before doing something they are unsure of.

Then Zhulan heard the news that the queen had recovered from her illness. Zhulan asked her concubine, "Is she really well?"

Xue Han nodded, "My daughter went to the palace to visit yesterday, and he is indeed much better."

Zhulan: "This is because I miss my unborn grandson."

Xue Han said, "The Queen wanted to send a female official to look after the Crown Princess, but the Emperor refused."

Zhulan: "Hmm?"

Xue Han explained, "Last time the Crown Princess had a miscarriage, it was said that a lot of people were replaced."

Zhu Lan thought so too. If the Queen sent a female official over, it would be even more disturbing if she gave random orders. "Didn't the Queen ask the Crown Princess to come into the palace?"

"No, I sent a female official to visit her. My daughter has realized how important this baby is."

Zhulan thought, actually, it’s also because of your father. The royal family is afraid that your father won’t live long. Of course, the more important reason is that the eldest son is more important.

Xue Han always dressed however she felt comfortable when she returned to her parents' home. She adjusted her sleeves and leaned against him comfortably, saying, "Princess Jing Xuan didn't return to the palace to live."

Zhulan: ".Didn't go back?"

Xue Han curled her lips and said, "Well, Princess Jingxuan went back to Prince Qin's Mansion with her daughter yesterday."

Therefore, in the heart of the Queen, the first is the Crown Prince, the second is the unborn grandson, the third is the fourth prince, and finally Princess Jingxuan.

"Princess Jingxuan is much more lively. I think she really likes going to the academy."

Xue Han smiled and said, "She was corrupted by Lin Xi. Lin Xi even taught Jing Xuan how to crack a whip."

"fine."

A princess with high combat power is very attractive!

Xue Han was helpless with her daughter. "It's all Rong Chuan's habit. Everyone in the capital knows that Princess Lin Xi can whip people. Yes, she whipped someone a few days ago."

Zhulan really didn't know, "Who made her angry?"

Even though she has a whip hanging on her body all day, Linxi never hits anyone.

Xue Han, "He beat a woman on the street. The woman was protecting her child and didn't dare to run away. This made Lin Xi angry."

Zhu Lan frowned, "If this isn't handled properly, the woman's life will be even harder when she returns home."

Xue Han smiled and said, "With Rongchuan here, no one can make her suffer. He has already taken care of it."

Zhu Lan shook her head, "He's getting more and more used to children."

"The child has a good character, so I'm not afraid of some of the habits."

Zhulan was amused, "You are speaking for Rongchuan again."

Xue Han also laughed, "Because my daughter is used to it, but she has to be strict."

In the palace, the emperor and Zhou Shuren finished their talk and sat together to drink tea. Zhou Shuren looked at the prince who was reviewing memorials not far away. He was a little dazed and the tea in front of him almost scalded him.

The emperor asked, "Why is Lord Zhou distracted?"

Zhou Shuren came back to his senses and wiped his hands with a handkerchief, "I feel that the scene before my eyes is familiar."

Back then, the emperor also sat in the prince's seat to review memorials, and now it was the prince's turn.
