Chapter 1101 Orphan

Chang Zhi thought to himself that King Liang really knew Zhoujia Village well. He had already chosen an auspicious day and was just waiting to move the grave in a few days.

King Liang said, "I will go over to take a look in five days."

Changzhi, "Is it inappropriate for Your Highness to go and move the grave?"

King Liang's intuition told him that he had to go. If he didn't go, he would have missed something. He curled his lips and said, "I have seen many dead people and killed many myself. You don't have to be shy."

Chang Zhi laughed in his heart. He was not considering King Liang, but he did not welcome King Liang.

Changzhi's heart tightened afterwards. Fortunately, he dug something out from under his grandfather's tombstone at that time. He asked Mingqing not to tell anyone and wrapped it with clothes on the way back. Otherwise, King Liang would know everything now and would not think that the Zhou family had a treasure!

In the imperial palace in the capital, Zhulan brought her eldest granddaughter into the palace. Just after they sent away the Zhao family, the palace lady-in-waiting arrived.

Zhulan thought about it and decided to bring her eldest granddaughter along, in order to give her confidence and hoping to get a few good words from the Queen.

When Zhulan arrived at the Empress' palace, she had a wooden face after the greetings. She saw the Empress playing cards with several other ladies. Except for Concubine Gui, Concubine Chen and Concubine Qi were all there. They looked so happy, just like good sisters.

The Queen Mother asked, "We are missing one person here, is Yang Shuren able to help?"

Zhulan replied, "My wife will."

She had learned it since Zhou Shuren became an official. It was quite interesting, but she never played it at home.

The Queen pointed to the empty seat and said, "Lady, sit here."

Zhulan sat down openly. Seeing that several people were looking at her purse, she thought to herself that it was a good thing that she had the habit of bringing extra money with her when she went out. Under the fiery gazes, she untied her purse and said, "I am in a hurry to go out."

So don't expect her to bring too much money, you should have some idea of ​​the amount.

Chen Fei smiled, "We know the answer, we know the answer."

Zhulan curled her lips in her heart. No, she felt that some of them were confused and a little dazed. The Queen asked her to enter the palace just to be a playing partner?

Zhulan looked at her eldest granddaughter with the rest of her eyes. Well, she was already making tea by herself under the guidance of the female official.

After playing a round, Zhulan knew what was going on. Concubine Chen and Concubine Qi were in the same group. She saw the hint from the queen. Yes, a hint. Zhulan looked down at her cards with a wooden face. Well, she couldn't win. When it was her turn, "I haven't played much, and I'm not good at it."

Then the cards were played and the Queen smiled. Zhulan thought quietly, fortunately she had a good brain and had been memorizing the cards from the beginning and had been staring at the Queen, otherwise, she would have lost.

After one round, Zhulan neither won nor lost, but the Queen won a lot. The Queen was very happy, "According to the date, Xuehan is about to give birth."

Zhulan smiled, "Yes, almost there."

The Queen continued, "There is no female elder in the Ning Marquis's Mansion. Now the young couple has moved back to the Duke's Mansion. The Duke's wife is in poor health, and only Song is supporting the Duke's Mansion."

Zhulan understood. Playing cards was one side of the story. This was more important. The empress was worried about her unborn grandchild. Since Zhou Shuren and the emperor played cards last time, she knew that the empress would know about it. "I will go over to take care of it in a few days."

The queen smiled and said, "That's great. You are very lucky. With you watching over them, the couple will be able to stay stable."

These days, her younger son wished he could stay in the Duke's Mansion every day, and she felt anxious seeing this.

Concubine Chen touched the cards and looked at Concubine Qi who was confused. She couldn't help laughing. Among the four people at the table, Concubine Qi was the only one who didn't know. She was at the bottom!

The queen has almost won, so she doesn't want to play anymore. "This person is too old to sit still."

She continued, "The tea brewed by the lady's granddaughter is very good, and it suits my taste very well. She is a clever girl."

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "I don't deserve the Queen's praise."

The queen paused for a moment and smiled, "Well deserved, well deserved. Your granddaughter is not only clever and skillful, but also kind and gentle. It's a pity that she's engaged. Your future granddaughter's husband's family is very lucky. They should treat your granddaughter well in the future."

Zhulan and the Queen looked at each other and said, "Hmm, very good, both of you are very sensible!"

Concubine Chen was stunned. Is this the empress she knew?

Concubine Qi's mouth twitched. It was the first time she saw the empress praising someone like that. The empress used to be such a cold and aloof person!

Yu Shuang's face turned red. She felt that the Queen was exaggerating!

Zhulan took her granddaughter out of the palace. This trip was totally worthwhile. Her granddaughter was praised by the empress and was rewarded. The empress gave the reward, and Concubine Chen and Concubine Qi also followed suit.

In fact, even if the Empress did not mention it, she would also have to take care of the concubine. The concubine was too young and she, as a mother, was worried about her.

After leaving the palace, Yu Shuang held several boxes in her arms and asked, "Grandma, why does your granddaughter feel this is so unreal?"

Zhulan laughed, "Why is it unreal?"

Yu Shuang opened her mouth. She just felt that it was unreal. She was nervous all the way following her grandmother into the palace. She didn't expect that her grandmother went into the palace to play cards and the Empress praised her harshly at the end. This was not right!

Zhulan patted her granddaughter's hand and said, "The Queen Mother has a good impression of our family and asked me to look after your aunt, so she took the opportunity to praise you."

If there was no relationship with Rongchuan, the Queen would not have exaggerated. The Queen is a very practical person.

Yu Shuang touched the box, feeling happy, "Yes."

Yu Shuang was praised by the Empress and was rewarded, and this matter must be exaggerated.

Zhao no longer missed her husband who was away on a diplomatic mission, nor did she want to worry about the troubled Zhao family. She left home the next day and went directly to the home of her future son-in-law.

When we arrived at the mansion, Mrs. Ding was also there, and she brought a few young ladies with her.

When Mrs. Hu saw her future mother-in-law, she stood up and greeted her enthusiastically. She had to be enthusiastic. Who could have thought that Liu Feng's future father-in-law would be so capable as to become an official and her mother-in-law would be a lady? When she knew about this, she was so worried that the Zhou family would regret the engagement. Fortunately, the Zhou family kept their promise. She was even more grateful in her heart. "It's so hot today. Drink the cooling tea quickly."

Zhao glanced at Ding and said, "There are quite a lot of people here today."

She was very satisfied, as it saved her from having to go to the Gu family.

Ding smiled and said, "I'm free and have nothing to do, so I came to chat."

Zhao drank the cool tea and said, "Ah, I was going to come here yesterday, but the palace lady came to visit, so my mother-in-law brought Yu Shuang into the palace."

When Mrs. Hu heard this, she remembered that her son had met the emperor last time thanks to the Zhou family. Now, when she heard that her future daughter-in-law was entering the palace, she waited eagerly for Mrs. Zhao to continue.

Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "This girl has been raised by my mother-in-law since she was young. This is a great compliment from the Empress Dowager. She has even received a reward. The Empress Dowager said that Liu Feng is blessed!"

Mrs. Hu was excited. She thought that if her daughter-in-law was good in the future, her son would be better off. Mrs. Ding was also happy.

There was just the sound of a teacup falling on the table. Zhao looked over and saw the young lady from Ding's family, squinting her eyes. After watching for a long time, she could tell the problem at a glance.

Mrs. Ding's face changed. When she saw Mrs. Zhao squinting her eyes, her heart skipped a beat. She looked at Mrs. Hu again, but her smile had disappeared. Mrs. Ding pursed her lips, thinking that the two girls from her mother's family were so careless.

In Zhoujia Village, King Liang listened to the guards' words, "Have you found out everything?"

The guard said, "I had heard it at first, but then I felt it was not right, so I made careful inquiries and found out that Mr. Zhou's mother was indeed an orphan."

Prince Liang stood up suddenly. He had investigated Zhou Shuren, but he had not paid attention to Zhou Shuren's deceased parents. Now it seemed that "the ancestral tomb must be moved."
