Chapter 1258 You are cold-blooded, you are cold-hearted

Because Zhulan came to the second house specifically to visit Zhao, Zhao didn't need to move when she suddenly gave birth, and was moved directly to the delivery room. The Zhou family was very experienced in childbirth, so Zhulan didn't need to make arrangements, as the mother-in-law had already made them.

Zhulan only needed to wait for the baby to be born, sitting on the small kang with snacks on the kang table.

After waiting for half an hour, the doctor arrived at the house.

Zhulan looked at the falling snowflakes and said, "Mingrui was born on a snowy day. This child is just like Mingrui!"

Su Xuan smiled and said, "Mom is right, they are all blessed children."

Then she thought of her son and sighed. Her son was smart, but a bit reckless. It would be better if he could integrate his personality with that of a lady.

Zhao's delivery went smoothly this time. Before Changyi left the government office after receiving the news, the baby was born. The midwife came out with the baby in her arms, "It's a big fat boy weighing more than six pounds. Congratulations, Madam, on having a grandson."

Zhulan took her grandson in her arms and said, "Oh, this child is really well raised. This is the first time I've seen a child so fair right after birth."

Su Xuan was also very fond of him, "My second sister-in-law and second brother really treasure this child. It really paid off to nourish him."

Zhulan knew how much the second wife valued the child. The family had the conditions. After Zhao became pregnant, she liked to eat fruit and never stopped. She would buy it no matter how expensive it was. Fortunately, she knew how to control the amount of fruit and didn't give the child too much, which would make it difficult to give birth. "Look, the child is smiling."

Su Xuan also saw it and thought, "This child is so lucky."

Zhulan happily gave the wedding money, and then asked the maid to take the child back home. After the house was tidied, Zhulan went to see Zhao. Zhao was still in high spirits. Her expectations of the past few years had come true, and Zhao had completely let go of her worries. Everyone could feel the relief.

Zhulan said, "You should also go to bed early."

Zhao was tired but didn't want to sleep. She wanted to wait for her husband to come back. "I'll rest after I see my husband."

Zhulan said a few more words and then went back to the main courtyard. When she returned, it was snowing heavily. Before she entered the house, she heard Yuyi teaching Yujiao to read.

Yuyi heard the noise and quickly put down her book, "Grandma, has Second Aunt given birth?"

Zhu Lan warmed her hands, "It's born. You have another little brother."

Yuyi, "Then I will go to see my second aunt and little brother tomorrow."

Yujiao also shouted, "I'll go too."

Zhulan had raised many children and her patience was running out. She responded softly, "Okay, okay."

After the two children went to write, Zhulan started to think about the names of her grandsons. She was the one who named Changlian's son Mingling. She found it difficult to name him, so after thinking about it, she decided to name Changyi's youngest son Mingfeng.

As soon as Changyi got off work at the yamen, he asked for the carriage to go home faster. When he got home, he rushed to the yard. When he saw his youngest son, he grinned and praised him repeatedly. It was not that he was partial, but that having two sons was a guarantee, and this child was born with hope.

Chang Yi held the child skillfully and said, "We won't have any more children in the future."

Zhao was stunned, "Not having any more children?"

Chang Yi nodded, "No, you are too old. Having children will be too much of a burden for you. We have enough children in one room, two sons and two daughters, with a good name in the family. We are blessed enough, it is enough."

Zhao also felt the hardship of this pregnancy. Seeing that the husband was serious, she smiled and said, "Okay."

Chang Yi teased his little son, and after putting him down, he said to his daughter-in-law, "You've worked hard."

He has seen his daughter-in-law taking medicinal soup all year round to keep healthy. In recent years, his wife has been the one who has suffered the most.

However, Zhao did not find it hard. Instead, she thought that marrying her husband was the greatest blessing in her life. Not to mention giving birth to a child, even taking her life would be worth it.

Zhou Shuren came back in the evening and brought back a piece of news. He said, "The emperor has finished studying the textbook you compiled and he thinks it's very good."

Since Zhulan was taken away by the Empress Dowager and sent back a few days later, she had been looking forward to it, but there was no news and it was difficult to ask the Empress Dowager, so she stopped paying attention after a long time. Unexpectedly, "Has the Emperor learned it?"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Recently, the Emperor has been studying the textbook you compiled and didn't let me talk to you. Now that he has finished studying, he is asking if there is anything more profound."

Zhulan certainly has it, but, "What is the attitude of the emperor towards the textbooks I compiled?"

Zhou Shuren, "The Emperor praised the textbook and your ability, but didn't say anything else."

The main reason is that a daughter-in-law is a woman. In the ancient times when men studied, it was easy to sort out a daughter-in-law and send her to a private school or academy, but it was difficult to make her famous.

So he couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking.

Zhulan was not disappointed. "Times have changed. Thoughts passed down from ancient times cannot be changed overnight. The attitude of the emperor is not clear now. It is obvious that the textbooks I compiled are not shocking enough. There is no rush. Take your time."

Zhou Shuren doesn't want anyone to take credit for his wife's achievements, even if it's his own son. He and his wife have come to this era together. His wife is his lover and also his comrade-in-arms. His wife has taught him a lot that has enabled him to be where he is today.

A daughter-in-law's abilities should not be hidden; she has her own brilliance.

Zhou Shuren held his wife's hand and said, "Yes."

Zhulan is very motivated, unlike the passive state she was in the beginning. Now she wants to pass on what she knows.

The next day, Zhou Shuren took away another textbook that his daughter-in-law had sorted out.

Zhulan was also invited to the Prince of Qin's Palace. Today the Palace was very lively, with several other concubines all there. The Gui Concubine was the biological mother of Prince Liang. She used to be a very flamboyant person, but now she was very quiet.

Today we are all here to watch the play that the Queen Mother has someone rehearse.

The Prince of Qin's Mansion is truly luxurious. Although it is freezing cold outside, the Prince of Qin's Mansion has a large glass greenhouse with flowers and some small green vegetables in it. The empty space has been used to grow vegetables.

Zhulan was the only outsider in the royal family, and if it weren't for the story she told, she would not have been invited.

Xue Han whispered to her mother, "Mom, I was helping as well. I was the one who came up with the idea for the song. You can listen to it later."

Zhu Lan had a wooden face and thought, "Okay, now not only has the Empress Dowager found a job for retirement, but her concubine has also found one."

The Queen Mother was talking to several concubines. It was obvious that the Queen Mother's colorful life made them extremely envious.

This story is actually very simple, a series of tragedies caused by clichéd misses. Even if there is a chance to be together, the hero and heroine are no longer as pure as they were at the beginning, and it ends in tragedy.

Zhulan didn't put her heart into the performance, but it was set to various tunes, which made it more intuitive. Watching it up close, it felt pretty good.

For someone like Zhulan who has seen too many melodramas and clichés, she could only complain while watching the show.

The concubines had never seen anything like this before. When they were concubines, they had to do it secretly if they wanted to read the books of scholars and ladies, not to mention that they were young and had great dreams of doing so. This heart-wrenching tragedy ended on stage.

Zhulan had finished eating all the melon seeds in front of her and had even changed the pot of tea. She was now eating an apple. Even though the apple was cut into pieces, it still made some noises when she bit it.

The Empress Dowager was moved to tears by the story she had made up herself. The same was true for several concubines. They started crying whenever the music on the stage sounded and they even changed their handkerchiefs several times.

Now, hearing the sound of eating apples, they all turned their heads to look at Zhulan.

Zhulan was facing several ladies who looked at her with cold-blooded and cold eyes, accusing her. Zhulan, "???"
