Chapter 1838 Changes

There is also a happy event for the royal family this year. The eldest princess is finally getting married. The emperor is really able to keep his concubine. The age at which the princess gets married also affects the people.

As women's status has improved in recent years, the age at which women get married has been postponed after they graduate from college and start earning money.

Zhulan is happy. Late marriage is good for girls and children. Zhulan has asked people to calculate the mortality rate of children born after late marriage. In the past, the number of late marriages was small, but now there is enough reference.

Now Zhulan is not only the dean of the girls' academy, but also the dean of the first girls' academy. The eldest princess and the legitimate princess Jingxuan became honorary deans because the two princesses have many daughters from official families and noble families enrolled in their school.

Zhulan left Jiang Ling in the women's college, and her granddaughter-in-law Shao Ting helped her deal with the affairs of the women's college. There is a big difference between a college and an academy. In a college, one learns the ability to make money, while in an academy, one learns knowledge.

On this day, Zhulan was wearing glasses while reading the newspaper. Her eyesight had deteriorated rapidly in the past two years, and everything she saw was blurry without her glasses.

Zhou Shuren came back early and took the newspaper. "Don't read it. It'll tire your eyes."

Zhulan took off her glasses and massaged her eyes for a while. When she felt better, she opened her eyes and said with some envy, "You are older than me and you face numbers all day long, how come your eyes are still so good?"

Zhou Shuren handed the brewed flower tea to his wife and said, "I don't look at the account book now, I just listen to what is read to me. You like to do it yourself. You want to read the newspaper and let the children read it to you."

Zhu Lan drank tea and said, "My daughters-in-law are too busy, my granddaughter-in-law Liu Jia is pregnant again, Shao Ting is too busy at the academy, and He Sishi is five months pregnant. Who do you think I can find to read the newspaper?"

"Where is Changzhong's wife?"

Zhulan sighed, "Having a child is fate. The couple is still young and I am not in a hurry at all. But Xinyi is under a lot of pressure. I'd better not see the child alone..."

Zhou Shuren was speechless. "If the emperor hadn't named the child, Changzhong's wife wouldn't have been under such great pressure."

Zhulan, "Who said it wasn't?"

Zhou Shuren talked about Minghui and others, "I don't know how they performed in the spring exam this time."

Zhulan laughed, "They haven't finished their exams yet, but I think their scores should be good. They are well prepared."

Zhou Shuren added: "Today I taught the emperor's grandson how to read."

Zhu Lan finally reacted and looked back at the clock. "I said something was wrong. You've been coming back early lately."

Zhou Shuren curled his lips and said, "I have kept it a secret for several years. The emperor intends to announce me as the master of the emperor's grandson after the imperial examination."

Zhu Lan thought of the Crown Prince's Mansion, "I heard that the Crown Prince is going to choose two concubines in the backyard?"

Zhou Shuren, "It's not easy to be the Crown Princess alone for so many years."

Zhu Lan frowned, "Should you announce first that you are the master of the emperor's eldest grandson, or should the prince choose a concubine first?"

"First, I will announce that I am the eldest grandson master."

Zhu Lan said: "The emperor also wants to warn you."

"Well, the eldest grandson is the emperor's favorite. It can be said that he was raised by the emperor over the past few years."

Since the Empress passed away, the Emperor seldom went to the harem. His attention was focused on educating the Crown Prince and the eldest grandson. The eldest grandson looked exactly like the Emperor at a young age.

When the Hanlin Academy was leaving the government office, Changzhong said to his fourth brother, "Fourth brother, I'm leaving first."

Changzhi: "Okay."

He also knew the pressure his brother and sister-in-law were under. The more prominent Changzhong was, the greater the pressure they were under. He heard from his wife that there were many rumors against his brother and sister-in-law. He sneered and said that some people who couldn't compare with their brother would use having children as an excuse!

Zhuo Guyu came out, "Master Zhou."

Chang Zhi nodded, then got on his own carriage and left.

Chang Zhi looked at the Zhuo family's carriage through the carriage window. Without the title, the Zhuo family was having a very hard time. If it weren't for the prince, the Zhuo family would have been gone long ago. Zhuo Guyu became more and more mature in the past two years, and this was all because of his worries.

Thinking of this, Chang Zhi thought of his son-in-law. His son-in-law was older than Zhuo Guyu, but when the two stood together, he didn't have to feel guilty about saying that his son-in-law was younger. Now his son-in-law looked younger than Zhuo Guyu. Thinking of the married daughter-in-law, Chang Zhi felt angry. If it weren't for the pity of Gu Sheng and others, he would have wanted to keep the daughter-in-law for another year.

Zhuo Guyu sat in the carriage, his heart was calm. The decline of his family made him grow up, and he kept in mind the instructions given by his grandfather before his death.

If he wanted to protect the Zhuo family, he had to follow the prince closely and take on all the dirty and tiring work he could. Thinking of his newly born son, Zhuo Guyu smiled. Although his wife had a miscarriage, fortunately she got pregnant again.

Zhuo Guyu looked in the direction of the Third Prince's Palace. Who could have thought that the Third Prince would be recognized by the Crown Prince? Now that the transparent Third Prince is married and has a Prince's Palace, all the wealth left by the Zhuo family has become the Third Prince's family fortune.

The third prince married a wife of humble family background, and they still lived a prosperous life. Last year, he even had a legitimate son.

On the other hand, the second prince still relies on his mother's family for support, and the relationship between him and his wife is not good.

Zhuo Guyu shook his head. What was he thinking about? He should be thinking about the performance of his cousins ​​in the imperial examination.

When Changzhong arrived at the Wei family, his father-in-law and eldest brother-in-law had just arrived home. Changzhong greeted them, "Father, eldest brother."

Lord Wei smiled and said, "Let's have a couple of drinks today."

Chang Zhong: "Yes."

Changzhong had some clean clothes at his father-in-law's house. Today his daughter-in-law went back to her parents' home, so he stayed with her for two days. He went to the main courtyard after she changed her clothes. Seeing his daughter-in-law talking and laughing, Changzhong felt relieved. His daughter-in-law had been in a bad mood in recent days, but today she finally smiled.

The food was already on the table, and Feng motioned for her son-in-law to sit down. "Your father is slow, let's wait for him."

Changzhong smiled and said, "Father has worked very hard."

Feng was grateful to her son-in-law for his tolerance of her daughter, saying that he would stay with her for two days if she came back to stay with him. "You have edited many books in the past few years, and you have worked hard."

At this time, Lord Wei came out and said, "Everyone is waiting for me!"

Feng said: "I've been waiting for you."

Lord Wei called out, "My son-in-law must not be left hungry. Come and have dinner."

Xinyi said jealously, "My parents can't see me anymore when they see their son-in-law."

Lord Wei laughed, "How old are you? You are still jealous of your husband."

"No matter how big it is, it can't stop me from being jealous."

Feng pinched the lady's nose and said, "You."

At the same time, I was happy that my daughter was still so lively after getting married because of the pampering of her son-in-law.

The next day, after the morning court session ended, the emperor left first. The prince did not follow the emperor. All the ministers looked at the prince with confusion.

The Crown Prince left the hall first, and the ministers followed him out one after another, only to find out the reason. It turned out that the Crown Prince's eldest grandson had been waiting outside the hall for some time.

The prince bent down and picked up the emperor's eldest grandson. The father and son smiled at each other in a very intimate manner. Some people were happy about this scene, while others looked gloomy.

Old Master Qi frowned, then relaxed his brows as if the frown was just an illusion.

When Zhou Shuren walked out, he saw the emperor's eldest grandson, who then got off the prince's body and walked towards him step by step.
