Chapter 1297: No Way to Cheat Favors

Rong Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I have plenty of ice in my mansion, but there are only three masters in the Qin Palace. The ice cannot be used. I will send it to the palace another day."

He didn't send the ice because Rong Yuyun did, but he really wanted to. He saw several times that the emperor used ice sparingly in his study.

The emperor said to his younger brother, "Okay, I won't be polite to you anymore."

Zhou Shuren's vacation passed in a flash. Why did time go by so quickly? He dedicated the remaining days of leisure to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Well, he originally wanted to test his granddaughter but failed.

When Zhou Shuren returned to the Ministry of Revenue, he felt that Lord Wang was looking at him with some admiration, "Hmm?"

Lord Wang is the emperor's confidant, and has often heard the emperor say how powerful Zhou Shuren is, and how he has fought his way to where he is, and how he is very proud. Although Zhou Shuren has indeed made many achievements, most people believe that Zhou Shuren is where he is today because of his mother's family.

Lord Wang, who was in the Ministry of Revenue without Lord Zhou, deeply felt that the Ministry of Revenue could still function as usual even without the Shangshu. He asked himself that few people could do what Zhou Shuren did.

Zhou Shuren waited for Lord Wang to leave, and asked Qiu Yan in a low voice, "What happened to him?"

Qiu Yan chuckled, "I admire you."

Zhou Shuren also smiled, feeling very satisfied with his vanity!

The King of Chu came to the Ministry of Revenue. Well, the King of Chu's face was black. Zhou Shuren looked at the folding paper and directly paid the silver. The King of Chu wanted to go to Jiangnan to buy medicinal materials from the Imperial Hospital.

Zhou Shuren was very puzzled. Every year, a special medicine merchant would send medicines to the capital from the Imperial Hospital. If it wasn't for the letter written by the emperor himself, he really wouldn't have given the money so quickly. Well, it was because he knew that the medicines from the Imperial Hospital couldn't be delayed, so he was always very happy to give the money to the Imperial Hospital for purchasing medicines.

The King of Chu naturally saw Zhou Shuren's doubts, and his face was still not good. All the dirty work was his. Haha, he went to buy medicinal herbs openly, but secretly investigated the nobles. "I can get such a good job, thanks to the King of Qin!"

Zhou Shuren played dumb and stamped the document neatly, "You can go get the money now."

The King of Chu gritted his teeth and thought, bah, Rongchuan must have been taught by this old fox. He turned around and left with the folder, as if he really thought he wanted to see Zhou Shuren's face like this.

Zhou Shuren called Jianyan over. He had been resting at home for many days, and Rongchuan was busy and rarely came over. He really didn't know what happened. "Go and find out the news."

Unfortunately, the secret was not revealed. Such a secret investigation would naturally not leak any information. Even Rongchuan kept his mouth shut. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager were in Jiangzhou. It was related to their safety and not a single word could be said.

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard. Rongchuan didn't say anything, which only showed that the matter was very serious. Thinking of the emperor in Jiangnan and the King of Chu going to Jiangnan again, Zhou Shuren's eyes were full of envy. This was causing trouble.

The King of Chu got the silver and stopped the King of Qin, saying, "You are a good kid. When you need help, just tell me and I will help you without any hesitation."

And yet you guys cheated him like that. It's ok to be on a business trip in such hot weather, but is Jiangnan so easy to investigate?

Rong Chuan smiled apologetically, "Isn't it Third Brother who knows this best? Among all of us brothers, Third Brother is the most experienced."

"You four Liang kings have more experience than I do. It was they who destroyed the Qi clan back then."

Rong Chuan pulled the corner of his mouth, "Third brother, you are joking. Fourth brother can't leave Beijing."

Even if he could leave the capital, Fourth Brother would not go out. If I hadn't met Fourth Brother occasionally, the capital would have almost forgotten about Prince Liang. This shows how low-key the Prince Liang's Mansion is.

The King of Chu took a deep breath and said, "I don't care. You owe me a favor for this business trip."

Rongchuan, "......"

He's waiting here. Bah. It's hard to repay a favor.

Rong Chuan smiled sincerely, "If Third Brother doesn't want to, I will go back to the Emperor on his behalf."

King Chu, "...Is it so difficult for you to owe me a favor?"

"My younger brother is afraid that he can't pay it back. Besides, I'm also helping my third brother."

"Help me?"

Rong Chuan took two steps back and said, "Third brother's house is very lively. Third brother is in trouble. I am helping him. When third brother is not here, the house will be quiet."

King Chu, "...Don't run, I promise to kill you."

Rongchuan ran even faster. Beat him to death, how stupid is he?

Today Zhulan went to the Prince Qin's mansion. The concubine was pregnant and was alone in the mansion. It was cloudy today but the temperature was acceptable, so Zhulan went to see the concubine.

Zhulan also brought along a few of her younger granddaughters, who played with Linxi.

When we arrived at the Prince of Qin's Palace, we saw the Prince of Qi's carriage parked at the gate. What a coincidence, today the Princess of Qi was also here.

Yudie and her friends had only been to the Prince Qin's Mansion twice. The first time was when Xuehan moved, and the second time was after the New Year. Because the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were in the Prince Qin's Mansion, Zhulan had never brought her granddaughters here.

Yudie arrived at the Prince Qin's mansion and whispered to Yuyi, "Every time I come here, I feel that my aunt's house is too big, and it takes a long time to walk every time."

Yuyi was helpless with Yudie. Her sister was too lively. She quickly glanced at the female official leading the way. "Because it's the palace."

Yudie grumbled, "Anyway, when I grow up, I don't want to live in such a big house. It's too big."

She thinks her own home is big, let alone the royal palace.

Yuyi thought that the size of the house she would live in in the future would depend on the family she married into. Even if the dowry house was big, she could not live in it.

Yu Wen stretched out her chubby hand and suddenly pulled sister Yu Yi's sleeve. It would save a lot of energy to have a sister leading the way.

Yuyi, "......"

She thinks she should be the third child. Why does she feel like she is taking care of two younger sisters?

Arriving at the main courtyard of the palace, Xue Han saw her mother and stood up to greet her, "Mother."

The word "mother" expressed Xue Han's longing.

Zhulan was relieved to see that her daughter looked good, and said to Princess Qi, "I have met Princess Qi."

Princess Qi, "Madam, you are being too polite. Are these your granddaughters?"

Zhulan smiled and said, "Yes, a few young granddaughters in the family."

Princess Qi looked at the three girls and could tell at a glance that the three girls had different personalities: one had lively eyes, one was quiet, and one was a bit naive and lazy.

Princess Qi has two little boys, and she loves little girls very much. "Madam is so lucky."

Zhulan likes to hear people praise their children, "Thank you, Princess, for the compliment."

Yudie and her companions were very well-mannered and greeted the princess in a very proper manner.

Xue Han knew her nieces very well, and the children were not comfortable here, so Zhu Lan said to the female official, "Take them out to play."

Yudie winked at her aunt happily, and Xuehan also smiled.

Princess Qi looked at the lively little girl for a while, then looked at the quiet little girl.

Zhulan naturally noticed it and said, "Last time you said you wanted to eat the pickles made by your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law made some for you and I brought them here."

Xue Han was feeling a bit cold in summer and couldn't eat much, so she missed her sister-in-law's pickles. "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Princess Qi also regained her composure.
