Chapter 1017: Pampering the Daughter-in-law

Zhou Shuren glanced around. The princes were walking very slowly. He still had a lot of things to do. "Your Highness Prince Qi, I have something to do and I have to go first."

King Qi hummed, and when Zhou Shuren left quickly, he sneered, "Don't follow me."

The King of Chu did not even raise his eyelids. "This is the way out of the palace. Anyone can take this road. It is not the Prince of Qi's palace."

Prince Liang snorted. He used to control the Ministry of Rites, but now all his people have been cleared out. He wanted to use this opportunity to receive the envoys as an opportunity to place someone in the position, but the Prince of Qi snatched it away. "Second brother, you haven't become the crown prince yet. It's a bit early for you to act like one now."

Zhang Yang said nothing. He had experienced the power of the King of Qi and thought to himself, let them continue fighting and he just had to wait patiently.

Prince Qi's eyes darkened. Several of his younger brothers were targeting him. Well, the Qi family had stopped fighting, the Feng family was almost wiped out, and only the Chen family was left. Although the Chen family was also in a state of panic, they were not seriously injured. Instead, he became the eye-catching one.

Inside the government hall, the emperor listened to the report, raised his hand to signal for people to go out, and then continued to carve the jade. The emperor carved very carefully, but he didn't carve much out of the whole piece of jade. After a while, his hands got tired, so he put down the carving knife and rubbed his hands.

The prince asked, "Father, do you want to carry this jade pendant yourself?"

The emperor shook his head, "No, this is the burial object I want to take into the imperial mausoleum."

The prince's pupils shrank, "Father, you must not say that."

The emperor did not shy away from life and death. Everyone has to go through birth, aging, illness and death. He had many aspirations in his heart. He hoped to be young, but he was not afraid of death. Instead, he liked to plan his funeral. "Don't be nervous. I don't want to live a hundred years. It's not good for you, and it's not good for your brothers."

He understood that if the crown prince ascended the throne and he was still alive, his other sons would be confident and would still have their own concerns. So, he decided not to live that long, as these sons would not be so confident and it would also prevent the eldest son who held a grudge from settling the score in the end.

The emperor looked at his eldest son. This child was like him, very ruthless. He should be happy. So he had to deal with the power of the other sons himself. "I don't know if I can see Rongchuan's son. No, a concubine is fine. I still lack a legitimate granddaughter."

The Crown Prince was just feeling uncomfortable when his father looked at him. Now his father changed the subject. He had no chance of having a legitimate daughter. The Crown Princess was injured and it would be difficult for her to continue giving birth. "It will definitely happen. Rongchuan also said that a daughter is good."

The emperor smiled and said, "It has been some time since they got married."

The corners of the prince's mouth twitched. His father really wanted to hold his granddaughter. He really wanted to say, "My younger brother has not returned to the royal family, so even if the baby is born, you won't be able to hold it."

At Zhou's house, Zhulan stared at the young lady yawning, frowning, "Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

Xue Han blushed, "Mom, what are you thinking about? I've had a good rest these days."

My husband loves her very much. She has been busy with social activities recently and is very tired, so, he hasn't bothered her recently.

Zhulan came to her senses and realized that she was just asking a normal question and had no other intention. "You're overthinking it."

Xue Han's head was steaming, but now she stopped yawning and was very energetic. "Mom, I went to the Prince's Mansion yesterday."

Zhulan, "Since you got married, your mother and I have been more informed than before."

This is the level of contact, and she currently cannot reach the level of this lady.

Xue Han blinked her eyes and said, "So my daughter will come back to see you and daddy if she has any news."

Apart from not living in her parents' home, it is very convenient for her to go back there. It is also good that she does not have a mother-in-law living there. She is so free.

Zhu Lan laughed, "You, aren't you afraid that your father-in-law will think too much?"

"My father-in-law wouldn't do that. He doesn't care about anything. I am living a comfortable life."

It's nothing like my dad who is busy as hell every day.

Zhu Lan asked, "I remember you and Ran Yan were good friends. You didn't go past the Crown Princess when you went to the Crown Prince's Mansion, did you?"

Xue Han wrinkled her nose, "Mother, I am not stupid. The Crown Princess is the most powerful in the Crown Prince's Mansion. I have also seen Ran Yan. Ran Yan is doing well. She has been the most knowledgeable among all the women in the Crown Prince's Mansion since she was young."

She could see clearly that Ran Yan was the Crown Princess.

At noon, Xue Han stayed to eat. Zhu Lan watched her eat the spicy food bite by bite and asked, "Isn't the chili spicy today?"

Xue Han, "It's OK, but not as spicy as the one in the Marquis' Mansion. Mom, I'll ask someone to send some chili peppers over later."

Zhulan took a sip in confusion. She seldom eats spicy food for health reasons. Today's dish was ordered by the lady. After taking a bite, her face turned red. Hiss, "It's already very spicy."

Xue Han blinked her eyes. "Really? I think it's okay. Rong Chuan also said it was okay when we had dinner together yesterday."

"Then Shui Rongchuan is in charge of you, whatever you say is what counts."

She was a little worried about Rongchuan's stomach. She knew that Rongchuan didn't like spicy food. He could eat spicy food, but couldn't stand too spicy food.

In the Hanlin Academy, Rongchuan held his stomach. Now that Chang Lian was gone, he didn't even have anyone to talk to. He had diarrhea from running several times today and his legs felt weak.

Shi Qing saw Rong Chuan's expression and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Rongchuan, "I feel a little upset, I'll be fine after a rest."

"Did you eat something bad?"

Rong Chuan was embarrassed, "I ate some spicy food with my wife yesterday."

Shi Qing left without saying anything else. After Rong Chuan got married, it was unbearable to watch that even he, who didn't care about him, could hear about Rong Chuan's deeds. The pampered daughter-in-law was referring to Rong Chuan. Zhou Xuehan didn't know how many other people were jealous of him.

Ministry of Rites, because the envoys have not arrived in the capital, Chang Yi is currently teaching people foreign languages. For the sake of communication, he is willing to make contact, and with his generosity, Chang Yi, a commoner, has also been integrated into the group.

Of course the main reason is that Changyi has a good father.

It was lunchtime, and Changyi was able to drink tea with some officials. The tea he brought back from abroad.

Wu Ming drank tea and watched his second brother talking. Among his godfather's sons, the second brother was the most tactful and knew how to say everything just right. Wu Ming smiled. People like him would not let go of an opportunity once they got it.

At night at the Ningguo Mansion, Rongchuan went to the government office. His stomach had recovered, but his face was still a little pale.

The Duke's wife asked worriedly, "But where are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Rongchuan, "Grandma, my grandson is fine, don't worry."

The Duke's wife looked carefully and saw that Rong Chuan did not look unwell except that his face was a little pale. "Then you should take good care of yourself today. You must be tired."

Ning Xu glanced at his son. This was the way his daughter-in-law spoiled him. He heard that the dishes these days were all spicy, so he was eating by himself.

He was even surprised that Xue Han could eat such spicy food.

At dinner time, the Ning family didn't like spicy food and there was rarely any spicy food, so Xue Han lost her appetite.

The Duke's wife smiled as she put the fish into Xue Han's bowl. "This is the hairtail fish that has just been sent to the capital. It's your favorite. Eat more."

Xue Han stared at the hairtail fish. It was indeed delicious. She didn’t think it was fishy before, but now her nose was particularly sensitive and she could smell it particularly fishy.
