Chapter 1242: The Best Father in the World

Zhou Shuren, "Repeat what you just said."

Steward Ding was excited. His master really trusted the emperor. He replied, "Just now the guards came to tell us that the emperor has moved into the prince's manor and wants to go fishing with you tomorrow!"

Zhou Shuren, "."

Can he not escape from these two troublesome father and son?

The Emperor had already inspected the Prince's hot springs manor and when he came back he said to the Empress, "The Prince's hot springs manor is really nice. Every detail of its construction is to my liking."

He especially liked a bamboo forest.

The Queen was silent. The Crown Prince was raised by the Emperor. They were originally father and son, and they were raised by the Emperor himself, so naturally they had similar preferences. "So?"

The emperor said quietly, "My private treasury has been divided among the crown prince and Rongchuan. This royal estate will also belong to the crown prince in the future. Now, apart from some properties and property deeds, I don't seem to have any estate."

The emperor was a man of great efficiency. He had already divided the things for his sons long ago. When his youngest son returned to the royal family, he did not want to cause any more trouble and just divided all the things among his sons.

The queen laughed, "You are the emperor, and it is the duty of your son to respect you."

The emperor thought that he would be the emperor emeritus in the future, and his sons would pay him a lot of tribute every year. He thought that as long as he lived long enough, he would be able to save some money. He whispered, "I think I can still save some money for Rongchuan."

In the future, he will be a father who favors his oldest son, and he won’t even have to hide his partiality!

The Queen blinked her eyes and said, "In that case, I can also give Linxi a generous dowry."

At the Zhou residence's dinner, each room ate separately. Li picked at the dishes here and there, "With mother not at home, the food doesn't taste good."

Boss Zhou glanced at him and said, "You can't eat not because mom left, but because mom didn't take you with her."

Li's thoughts were exposed, "Even eating can't stop you from talking."

"You got the first one."

Minghui said dimly, "My uncle didn't take me with him either."

Mingyun put down his bowl and chopsticks, "My uncle followed them shamelessly."

It means that uncle can't take you with him.

Mingyun still remembers that grandpa looked at his uncle with disdain. If his uncle had not held Yuyi tightly, grandpa would really have thrown his uncle off the carriage!

Minghui, "I really envy sister Yuyi!"

As he said this, he looked at his parents. His third uncle was not at home, and his grandmother always took his two younger sisters, Yuyi and Yujiao, with her wherever she went. He really wanted to go to the manor with them!

Second Housewife Zhao had a big belly and felt uncomfortable, so she put down her chopsticks after eating a few bites. She looked at the unhappy Yudie and laughed, "Didn't little Yudie say she would take care of mother?"

When the mother-in-law left today, because of Yuyi, the mother-in-law also asked Yudie and Yuwen. At that time, the girls were moved but still refused, saying that they would take care of her, which moved her badly.

Yudie is a child after all, and she can’t take care of the lazy Yuwen, so she still likes to take care of Yuyi. Now that her little companion is gone, she still feels lost.

When Yudie saw her father and sister looking at her, even her brother put down his chopsticks. The little guy held on to his chopsticks tightly, "A gentleman's word is as good as gold. I have no regrets. I will take good care of my mother."

Yushuang, "."

How come you're becoming more and more like a kid?

Chang Yi was very fond of the young lady, "In a few days, Dad will buy you a pony."

Yudie's eyes were so bright, at this moment, any friends were not important, "Dad, you are so kind."

In the fourth room, Mingjia stared at his sister angrily while eating. He really didn't understand why his sister was unwilling to move.

Yu Wen ignored her brother and ate slowly with a good appetite.

Changzhi had long been impressed by the lady, and asked, "Does the lady want to drink some soup?"

Yuwen nodded, "Yes."

Changzhi personally took the bowl and filled it for the daughter, then placed it in front of her. What could he do with his own daughter? He could only pamper her. He was already worried about finding a son-in-law for her!

Changzhi's mentality changed very quickly. When his daughter was just born, anyone who dared to take advantage of her was an enemy. But now, as long as someone could treat his daughter well, he would not stop and he would be a good father-in-law!

Su Xuan asked her son, "Do you want some soup?"

Mingjia, "No."

Yuwen had already finished her drink, "Mom, I want more."

Su Xuan smiled and said, "Okay."

Mingjia put down his chopsticks angrily, "Sister, I'm angry."

Yuwen finally looked her brother in the eye. "You don't have the ability to follow grandma to the manor, why are you angry with me? I don't want to move, but you have the ability to follow by yourself."

Mingjia, "Grandma asked you."

Meaning grandma didn’t ask him!

Yuwen, "If you don't have the ability, don't count on me. Don't make excuses for your incompetence. Grandma said that those who make excuses are weak. You are the weakest of the weak because you are incompetent and you take your anger out on your own sister."

Mingjia, "."

My sister seems to have a good reason!

Changzhi and Suxuan, "."

Awesome, my girl!

Yu Wen finally said, "Don't show up in front of me recently. I don't want to see a weak brother."

After saying this, Yu Wen thought to herself that she could just laze around for a few days without having to endure her brother's nagging.

Chang Zhi and Su Xuan are adults, and they are also his own daughters. They know their children very well. As soon as the daughter finished speaking, Chang Zhong and Su Xuan laughed!

Zhulan was unaware of the hustle and bustle at home. She had already happily taken a hot spring bath, lying on a recliner, listening to Zhou Shuren reading his travelogue, feeling quite relaxed.

Zhou Shuren also felt that the years were quiet and peaceful.

Unfortunately, the joyful mood only lasted until I met the emperor, as the prince's manor was not too far away from here.

As soon as Zhou Shuren arrived, he was dragged by the emperor to go fishing by the lake. Zhulan, who came with him, went to the orchard with the empress.

In the manor, the emperor and the empress wore casual clothes. Without the clothes that represented their status, the emperor and the empress seemed like an ordinary couple.

At the lake, the emperor caught the first fish and was very proud of it. "Shuren needs to work hard."

Zhou Shuren twitched his lips. He wanted to stay at his own manor with his wife. "Your Majesty, is it really okay for you to leave the palace and come here?"

Your Majesty, "I have not dealt with state affairs for a long time. The Crown Prince is handling it very well. There is nothing to worry about."

Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes in his heart. The emperor knew what he wanted to say: the day when the crown prince would succeed to the throne was approaching. Was it really okay for the emperor to leave the palace at this time?

The emperor stroked his beard and said, "Next year I plan to go out for a walk."

Zhou Shuren, "Go out?"

The Emperor said, "Well, I want to see for myself the country I govern."

Zhou Shuren blinked and wondered if it would be too early to leave next year, as the prince still needed the emperor's support. Then he thought again that the prince had been in charge of government affairs for a long time, so there was really no need to worry. Besides, only the emperor's departure would give the prince a chance to deal with some remaining issues, lest the emperor become the emperor emeritus and the prince would have to worry about some ministers relying on their old friendship to beg for mercy from the emperor.

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and couldn't help but sigh, and blurted out what was in his mind, "The Emperor is truly the Prince's best father."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Now that Shu Ren mentioned it, I think so too."

Even after becoming the emperor emeritus, he was not attached to power. In history, he was truly the best father to the crown prince.

Zhou Shuren snorted. Who isn’t a representative of a good father? He is one too!
