Chapter 1367: Hurting Each Other

On the carriage from Zhangzhou back to Beijing, the prince stared at a box and asked, "What did the Minister buy?"

I sent someone to buy something early in the morning. The box was not big, but it was very conspicuous.

Zhou Shuren touched the box. "Gift."

He has been the one receiving gifts these years, and he felt so aggrieved. This time he finally let out a sigh of relief. The emperor must have felt very aggrieved this winter, and it makes him happy just thinking about it.

The prince thought it was a gift for Lord Zhou's wife, so he didn't ask any further. Everyone knew how much Lord Zhou valued his wife.

When the prince thought of Yang, his eyes were very complicated. He never looked down on women. Both his father and grandfather told him not to look down on women since he was a child. When women become cruel, they can be crazier than men.

Yang really surprised him. The books he read were given to him by his grandfather. The knowledge points in them were very comprehensive and the organization and summary were very orderly. The most valuable thing was that they were progressive, with the basics being the basics and the difficulty increasing little by little. His grandfather did not hide it from him and told him that these were organized by Yang and that some of the questions in them were also made up by Yang after he had learned them.

He was shocked, really shocked. The prince looked at Zhou Shuren again. The ladies that Lord Zhou loved so much were indeed the same type of people as Lord Zhou.

When leaving the government office, Chang Yi walked out of the Ministry of Rites leisurely. His current job was not busy and he even hummed a tune.

Chang Yi was surprised to see the carriage from the Prince of Qin's mansion. He then saw his brother-in-law open the window of the carriage and said, "Brother, get in the carriage and I will take you home."

Chang Yi stopped humming the song. He knew very well how busy the King of Qin was. In the past, his brother-in-law often came home, but now he had to squeeze in time when he came back, so he quickly got on the carriage.

When Lord Liu chased out, he only saw the back of the Qin Wangfu's carriage. Lord Liu touched his purse and thought, forget it, today's dinner invitation failed again. My son came back and refused to agree to marry into the Zhou family.

He was stingy, but he was still generous when it was necessary. He had already taken out the tribute tea from his family. A marriage with the Zhou family would only benefit the Liu family. This was a decision he and his father had made after careful consideration. As for the Zhou girl's generosity, Lord Liu had given him a favor. His wife was also a generous person, and the power of the family was still in her hands.

When his wife heard that the girl from the Zhou family was so generous, she was extremely enthusiastic about the marriage. If it wasn't for the wrong timing, she would have dared to come to the house.

In the carriage of the Qin Palace, Chang Yi said, "You are not just sending me home."

Rong Chuan briefly explained the trial of the grassland tribes. "My second brother is in the Ministry of Rites, and you have also been in the embassy. I would like to ask my second brother to take care of these tribes."

He could also arrange people directly, but that would not look good, and his second brother's careful thoughts would not be discovered by others. His second brother was on a diplomatic mission for four years before returning to the country. Who would have thought that his second brother had arranged to leave, and the connections in the Ministry of Rites had been maintained.

Chang Yi had seen more than one coup d'état, and was the one in the Zhou family who truly had a bloody smell. "Don't worry, I will make sure we won't be discovered."

Rongchuan, "Thank you, second brother."

"Thank you, she's my niece too."

Not to mention that Rong Chuan was angry as a father, he was angry too. He treasured his own daughter very much, even if it was just a test.

Chang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Dad has already left for Beijing. Dad doesn't even know about it."

Rongchuan was happy, "Yes, Dad is going back to Beijing."

"I just hope these grassland tribes won't leave in such a hurry."

Rong Chuan sneered, "They are enjoying themselves very much in the capital, they are in no hurry to leave."

Chang Yi smiled, "Very good."

After returning home, Changyi went straight to see his mother, "Mom, Rongchuan just sent me back."

"Just keep it in mind."

Chang Yi knew that he could not hide anything from his mother, "Mom, is the court really going to go to war?"

Zhulan, "It's inevitable."

After her son-in-law and daughter left, she lay down to rest, her mind never stopped thinking. She had conquered several tribes in the past few years, and she had heard a lot about caravans going to various tribes on the grassland. The caravans were too frequent, and she sensed a conspiracy. Perhaps the emperor was the one who wanted to fight the most!

Chang Yi said quietly, "I just hope the war stops at the border."

Zhulan, "I hope so."

The next day, the embassy replaced a batch of supplies, the styles of which were very much in line with the tastes of the various ethnic groups on the grassland. They were even proud to think that they could get a lot of food and grass for free.

Chang Yi listened to the expressions of the princes and princesses of the various tribes on the grassland, and sighed, hoping that they could still be so energetic in a few days.

Zhulan learned at home that Linxi had entered the palace to stay for a while. This showed that the emperor loved his granddaughter.

Inside the palace, Linxi heard yesterday about the marriage proposals from various tribes. The little girl was scared at first because she was a daughter of the royal family. Later, she felt relieved when her father said that he would not marry outside the family.

But the child was young and was still frightened, which made the Emperor and his wife very sad.

The Emperor waved his hand, "Don't be afraid, Linxi. You can choose your own husband in the future. No, the Emperor will choose a good one for you in the future."

It’s better not to choose your own husband. What if you get cheated?

Lin Xi blinked and said, "Yeah."

The emperor was delighted. He looked at his wife, put his hands behind his back and stood up. "I'll go see the emperor."

He really didn't want to live in the palace. He had had enough!

The emperor saw his father, "Father."

The Emperor Emeritus sat down and motioned for the Emperor to sit down as well, "The Crown Prince has set off to return to the capital."

The emperor understood, "Return to the capital."

The Emperor looked at the piles of folded paper on the Emperor's table and said, "The Crown Prince will return to Beijing soon for the New Year. Time flies so slowly. I am still thinking about the vegetables I planted."

The Emperor had a wooden face, and the Queen Mother was staring at the Emperor, so the Emperor came to torture him. He knew that you were free and easy now, so maybe you couldn't come when he was busy?

And he had never eaten a single bite of the vegetables grown by his father. The greenhouse in the Prince Qin's Mansion had become his father's world. His father had been detained for a long time in the winter, so he planted a lot of vegetables in one breath, and his son could only watch them helplessly!

The emperor seemed not to notice the emperor's wooden expression. "The tea in this palace doesn't taste right. The south is still better. I tell you..."

The emperor kept smiling. Coming, coming, when he was old, no, he didn't want to go out as old as his father, lest his body couldn't bear it.

After the emperor finished listening to his father's daily bragging, he picked up the teacup and took a sip. "It's a pity that your mother won't let you go too far next year. You can't go to the south."

The Emperor, "......."

This hurts my heart. I have already stepped down. This is the only hobby I have now. How dare you, an unfilial son, hurt my heart!

The emperor was satisfied when he saw his father wanted to bite him. He said, "Hurt each other." Zhou Shuren said this. The emperor smiled and said, "Father, do you want to know whether Zhou Shuren bought a gift?"

Tsk tsk, he knows, he knows.

The emperor rolled his eyes, turned around and left, humph!

The emperor smiled and continued to look at the folding paper. He had clearly rejected the grassland tribe's test yesterday. They could ask for food and fodder, but not for marriage. However, the grassland tribe did not give up and even took a step back. It didn't necessarily have to be a royal girl, but could also be a princess or something. Ha!
