Chapter 1234 Some Regrets

The next day, Xue Han received an invitation from the Crown Princess to go to the Crown Prince's Mansion. In the past few days, Xue Han has visited several royal palaces and has become more and more accustomed to her identity as a prince's consort.

The Crown Princess has always been friendly and supportive towards her legitimate younger brothers and sisters-in-law. Now that the Crown Prince has been confirmed to have succeeded to the throne, the forces in his backyard have already begun to play off each other.

Rongchuan, a blood brother, will naturally have enormous power in the future. Not only will he have the title of prince, but also because the Ning family is closer to Rongchuan, Rongchuan has now become a person that several forces must win over.

Zhulan's mother took advantage of her status as a concubine, and recently people kept sending gifts to her family. Someone asked Rongchuan to leave the palace and live directly in Zhou Mansion, so that she could not see Rongchuan and Xuehan. They all came to visit Zhulan in the name of visiting, and Zhulan received a lot of gifts.

When Qi came, Zhulan had just returned from the garden. This was the first time Qi came after Xuehan left the palace.

Qi's heart was complicated. Her friendship with Yang was not pure, and there were too many interests involved. Although her family had failed the imperial examination and her husband had retired, she was the daughter of the crown prince's concubine, and she did not feel that she was inferior to Yang.

Now Yang has become the prince's mother-in-law, and her daughter has become the prince's consort, and Yang's identity has changed again.

Ever since the ban on the Prince's Mansion was lifted, she has met the concubine. The Ran family had no expectations that the Prince would succeed to the throne, but after meeting the concubine, Qi's ambitions were extinguished before they could even rise.

She was not the prince's mother-in-law, and her concubine could not win the prince's heart. She saw that Yang felt a little uncomfortable, so she kept dragging it on until now.

Qi, "I know you are too busy, that's why I have waited until now to congratulate you."

Zhulan didn't delve into Qi's thoughts because there was no need. She didn't want others to have an impression of her. She lived a comfortable life, so why should she care about other people's changes? She smiled and said, "Thank you."

Qi thought of her granddaughter, who was going to marry into the Zhou family, and her smile finally became sincere. "My old man has always wanted to have tea with Lord Zhou, but Lord Zhou is too busy."

After saying this, Qi paused again. Lord Zhou was going to be promoted, and Yang would be his wife in the future. She couldn't help but recall when she first met Yang, she was still high and mighty. It was really unpredictable.

In the academy, Mingyun put away the two invitations and said to Liufeng, "Tomorrow is a day off. You haven't been to my house for a long time. Will you come tomorrow?"

Liu Feng naturally wanted to go. He hadn't been to Zhou Mansion for nearly half a year. If he hadn't heard news about Yu Shuang from time to time and seen Ming Yun every day, he would have doubted whether this marriage would be ruined.

Now hearing Mingyun's invitation, Liu Feng couldn't hide his joy, "Of course I will go."

Mingyun smiled and said, "There have been too many things to do in the past six months. It's not that I don't want to invite you."

Liu Feng said he understood. He was shocked just by hearing about the palace coup. He knew that the Zhou family wanted to protect him. "I understand everything."

Mingyun nodded and became more satisfied with his brother-in-law. Although not being invited for half a year was not a test, it was indeed a test for Liu Feng. Liu Feng did not jump up and down but remained stable, which was rare at this age.

Liu Feng looked at the post, "Tomorrow is a day off, you invited me, shouldn't you accept the invitation?"

Mingyun shook his head, "Our family has always been at the center of controversy, so I'd better keep a low profile at this time."

Liu Feng couldn't reach this level, but since he was adopted by his uncle, he had been taking the trouble to teach him, so he still understood what he should understand.

In the Prince's Mansion, Xue Han sat below the Crown Princess. There were really a lot of people coming to the Prince's Mansion today. Xue Han remembered what her mother said, that Rong Chuan had to be a prince who supported the Crown Prince and could only support the Crown Prince, and must not get involved in the fight for the next generation's imperial power.

Xue Han thought of her mother's implicit mention that the prince was now in his prime and would live a long life, and no one knew what the future would be like. Her mother said that she and Rongchuan would live alone in the future, so they should think more and do more.

Xue Han shielded her face with the fan. Combined with what her mother said about the longevity of his appearance, now even the Crown Princess couldn't help but start to compete. If she were the Crown Prince, she would definitely be unhappy. The child is so young, and she is still hoping that the Crown Prince will die soon!

The Crown Princess pinched her palms, thinking about the Crown Prince choosing a concubine after he succeeded to the throne, and the birth of a prince in the future, and she felt confused.

The Crown Princess looked at Xue Han and asked with a smile, "Today I specially made your favorite snacks. The kitchen also prepared my favorite snacks. When you leave later, take them back to try. Although they are not as good as those made by the chefs in the palace, they taste good."

Xue Han followed suit and said happily, "I would like to thank the Crown Princess here."

The Crown Princess pretended to be angry and said, "I am your biological sister-in-law, don't call me Crown Princess. Just call me sister-in-law from now on."

Xue Han, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

The Crown Princess smiled more deeply, this was her advantage, she was the Crown Princess, she was the legal wife and the future Empress. Liu and others wanted to pull Xue Han down, but unfortunately they did not have the advantage. Thinking of her two sons, the Crown Princess's annoyance disappeared.

Xue Han felt the gazes on her, but the smile on her face did not change. To be honest, what the Crown Princess should do most now is not to host various banquets, but to care more about the Crown Prince and let him feel his wife's care, instead of trying to pull him aside, which would alienate the relationship between husband and wife.

Xue Han felt that power was truly terrifying. Her beloved Crown Princess had also changed because of power.

In the palace, the emperor and his ministers drafted laws for foreigners. Now that the court is powerful, the laws are somewhat tyrannical. All foreigners who break the law in this dynasty must be judged according to the laws of this dynasty.

There are also various reputation lists. Once a person is on a red list, they will not be allowed to log in and will be refused contact.

Reputation is divided into several stages. First, it is a yellow reputation. Yellow can change for the better, but there is a probation period. The probation period is not easy either. You have to pay a price to improve.

Then there are the blacklisted people, whose taxes will be increased and so on.

Zhou Shuren felt that it was already very detailed, and he had no involvement in the drafting of this plan.

Zhou Shuren felt that the countries visiting this time would definitely not be happy. As for the other party's anger and imposing tariffs, Zhou Shuren stroked his beard. He felt that the navy was already good and could control some shipping routes. Let's see who is more anxious then.

In a blink of an eye, another five days had passed. The two daughters of the third house returned to the capital. Yuyi's appearance had not changed much, and her temper was not as crazy as Yudie's, and she became more quiet.

Yujiao is still too young, and she is very quiet and gentle when she is taken care of by Yuyi.

Zhao held her belly and said, "Compared to this, Yudie looks more like a boy."

Su Xuan continued, "Xuzhou is in the south, and women there are not as open as those in the north. Most women stay at home and rarely go out. The two children are inevitably affected."

Su Xuan didn't say that, after all, the third sister-in-law was born into an official family, and she hoped that the two girls, Yuyi and Yuyi, would become ladies from wealthy families.

Zhulan looked at her two well-behaved granddaughters and felt a little regretful for letting Changlian and his wife take the children there. Fortunately, they were sent back this time. "Are you tired, Yuyi?"

Yuyi became very sensible, and the little girl's maturity was obvious. She shook her head and said, "Grandma, your granddaughter is not tired."

Zhulan touched Yuyi's hair and thought of Dong's letter. Because Dong was pregnant again, she didn't pay enough attention to Yuyi and her sister. This time Dong's pregnancy had a great impact on Yuyi.
