Chapter 1244 Identity represents responsibility

Zhou Changyi didn't like Du Si. Du Si used to be unknown, but has recently become famous. This is because the Du family has a daughter who is a concubine in the prince's backyard. Although she is not a concubine, she has a son. She is the only one who has a son besides Concubine Liu.

The Du family is not a big family. Du Si's father has been stuck at the fourth rank for many years because he has no ability. The Du family is under pressure from Concubine Liu and has to survive in the gap between the Crown Princess and Concubine Liu. In the past, the Du family did not dare to show any signs of weakness for fear of being destroyed.

But things are different now. The prince is going to succeed to the throne soon. Even if Du is struggling to survive, she is still a concubine of a son. When the prince succeeds to the throne, her status will change. The mother will be honored because of her son, and the Du family is trembling.

This Du Si did not dare to confront the descendants of the Wen family represented by the Crown Princess, nor did he dare to be arrogant in front of the Liu family, but wanted to bully him, all because he was not from an orthodox imperial family, had a simple and honest face, and his status was enough. In Du Si's eyes, he was a perfect stepping stone.

Du Si bullied him, as if he could find confidence and improve his status, which made him feel that Du Si was inferior and ridiculous.

Du Si had no choice but to continue. He was the uncle of the future Third Prince. "Master Zhou, you are joking. Why should I be jealous of you? Although the Du family is not a wealthy family, they have been a noble family for generations."

It points out that the Du family has high moral character, but also implies that the Zhou family is not a clean family. Who knows whether there is any problem with the Zhou family's surplus money?

Zhou Changyi asked straightforwardly, "You suspect my father of corruption and bribery? Am I correct in understanding this?"

The surroundings were silent. Du Si was dumbfounded and cursed in his heart, "No, I didn't."

He couldn't admit it. Everyone knew that Zhou Shuren would be the future Minister of Revenue, the Emperor's confidant, and an important official that the Crown Prince would rely on. He could bully the honest Zhou Changyi because Zhou Changyi did not come from an orthodox imperial examination background. Bullying Zhou Changyi would not implicate him too much, he would just think that Zhou Changyi was inferior to others in terms of skills.

But I really don’t dare to say it so openly about Zhou Shuren!

Minghui originally wanted to take the opportunity to get his second uncle to buy a pony before he interrupted, so he bought a top-quality pony first and asked his father to go back and pay back the money to his second uncle.

Minghui was unhappy when he heard someone talking about his grandfather. He said in a childish tone, "Second Uncle, there are many people who came to buy horses today. They all came to see the horses. Do they all become corrupt and accept bribes after buying good horses?"

Chang Yi raised his hand with complicated eyes, this nephew really surprised him, Minghui was not using his younger brother's resources for nothing.

Du Si saw that everyone was looking at him with unfriendly eyes, so he took a deep breath and made up his mind not to provoke Zhou Changyi, a fool, in the future. He smiled and said, "That's not what I meant. Lord Zhou is an honest man, and we admire him. Brother Changyi misunderstood."

Zhou Changyi smiled innocently, "I knew that Lord Du was a man with a clear mind and a bright vision. You should also admire my father."

Du Si smiled, "Yes, I admire Master Zhou Shuren."

In the evening, Zhou Shuren and Zhulan returned home. They really ran away, without any ambiguity. Since the emperor came with them, Zhou Shuren has not felt relaxed at all. He has become the exclusive escort.

Zhou Shuren only found out about the horse farm when he returned home. Naturally, he did not buy the top-quality pony Changyi for the children, but bought a few pretty good pony instead.

Zhulan, "What happened today will definitely reach the ears of the prince."

Zhou Shuren, "The Du family's position will not be high anymore."

Zhu Lan said quietly, "This Du family has always been very cautious, and finally they were about to make it out alive, but then Teammate Pig showed up."

This setback really brought disaster to the Du family.

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Minghui is quite interesting. I have to say that the eldest couple can have children."

Zhulan laughed, "They are indeed very lucky."

In fact, the eldest couple are not so naive now. They have learned a lot in an environment full of villains. In addition, there are many children in the first house, so it is quite a training for the eldest couple to compete with their sons in wits and courage.

Inside the palace, the prince found out later because he was busy. He only found out when he was about to rest. The prince's eyes were dark and unclear. He now had a grudge against all his wives and concubines who had sons.

Mrs. Du, who was thought to be the quietest, became more and more unhappy. She stood up and took the pen to change the names on the list that had been drawn up long ago.

The prince looked at Ran, who had only one concubine and had always been very quiet, and after thinking about it, he decided not to change his behavior.

The prince put down his pen. In the past few years, since the birth of his second legitimate son, no children had been born in the backyard. He did this on purpose because of the hidden crisis and he felt it was not appropriate to continue having children.

So in the Prince's Mansion, he currently has only four sons and one concubine. The Crown Princess occupies the eldest son and the second son, and the second son is the youngest.

Liu's son was the second son, and Du was one year older than the second son and was the third son.

The prince thought of his eldest son and sighed. His situation was different from that of his eldest son.

At the prince's manor, the queen handed tea to the emperor, "Shall we return to the capital as well?"

The emperor took the tea. He was also very tired today. He smiled and shook his head, "No, let's stay a few more days."

The emperor knew that Zhou Shuren had run away. If he had wanted to stop him, Zhou Shuren would not have been able to return to the capital. It was quite interesting for him to see the old fox running away in a panic.

The emperor truly enjoyed his life with the empress, so he didn't want to return to the palace at all.

The queen wanted to return to the palace. They had a lot of life ahead of them, so she was not in a hurry. "I miss my granddaughter."

The Emperor knew that the granddaughter the Empress was talking about was Linxi, "When the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, Zhenyue will be the Princess, even if she is not a legitimate princess."

Even though Linxi is the legitimate daughter of the King of Qin, Zhenyue is still a princess.

The Queen also raised Zhenyue, but her heart was biased. Although she was the only daughter of her eldest son, Linxi came later and took the upper hand. In the eyes of the Queen, there was only her legitimate granddaughter, "There will be no shortage of princesses in the future."

When the eldest son succeeded to the throne, she was sure that he would have many daughters.

If the Queen didn't know that having the title of princess means responsibility and attention, and that the dignity of a princess is also a royal norm, and that living a life of attention means being unfree, she would have wanted to give Linxi the identity of a princess.

The queen was rational and knew that if she wanted her granddaughter to live a free and carefree life, she could not have the identity of a princess.

The next day, even though Zhou Shuren and his wife had a timely massage, they were still very tired. They lay crookedly on the recliners in the yard. One was fat, the other thin. The contrast that was not so obvious before was now becoming more and more obvious.

Chang Zhong saw this scene when he entered the yard. He raised his hand and couldn't help but touch his belly, which was always fat. "Mom, Dad."

That’s right, call mom first and dad later, because in Changzhong’s heart, dad listens to mom.

Zhulan asked, "Why didn't you go to Wu's house?"

Changzhong, "My son sent a letter to the Wu residence yesterday. Brother Wu has been busy lately, so he asked my son to study at home."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard. Wu Ming was indeed busy recently. He then asked, "What are you doing here?"

Changzhong looked at his mother with sparkling eyes, "Mom, Minghui has a foal, and I want one too."

Zhulan wondered what was going on, "Ask your dad to go buy it with you."

Zhou Shuren didn't want to move, but unfortunately his wife had already waved her hand. After the father and son went out and got on the carriage, Changzhong wanted to say something but stopped himself several times.

Zhou Shuren couldn't bear to watch it anymore, "What do you want to say?"
