Chapter 458 Intuition

Not to mention that Zhulan didn't know what to do, the prince's move directly shocked everyone in the capital. You know, for so many years, the prince has never done anything out of line, and never does things in his own name. He always does whatever the emperor says.

This is the first time I give a gift in my own name.

In the capital, when the second prince heard the news, his first reaction was disbelief. The crown prince was such a cautious person, how could he send gifts in his own name? After confirming it again and again, the second prince fell silent. Now that the crown prince had intervened, many things would be difficult to handle. Was he going to give up some people?

The third prince thought that the crown prince had finally shown his fangs, and there would be more news in the future. After all these years, he still had not figured out this elder brother.

The other princes had similar thoughts, but they were also happy because at least the crown prince had taken action. Once the crown prince took action, they would be able to get some clues in the future.

The ministers had even more ideas.

As for Zhulan, the gift list has already been registered, so even if there is no third-day-bath celebration, a sum of money has been given out.

After checking the gift list, Xue Han said with emotion, "Mom, the officials in Jinzhou are really rich."

Zhu Lan said quietly, "Who allowed Jinzhou to have a peaceful port?"

Xue Han now understands a lot, and pursed her lips, "Dad is still the best."

Zhulan smiled and said, "Yes, your father is the best."

In the afternoon, Xuemei and her family came back and brought back vegetarian snacks from the temple. Zhulan tasted one and said, "It tastes good."

Xuemei smiled and said, "The vegetarian snacks at the temple are very famous. I thought my mother would like them, so I brought back a few pieces. It's a pity that I can't bring more."

Zhulan only went to the temple when she first came to the ancient times. After that, she refused to go no matter who invited her. She wiped her hands with a handkerchief and asked, "You said you went to the temple to draw lots. Did you do it?"

Xuemei narrowed her eyes and said, "Yes, I prayed for amulets for my parents, and then I asked for a fortune. I asked my husband, and the fortune was good. The general meaning is that I have accumulated a lot of experience, but the time has not come yet."

Xuemei asked for a fortune. She thought her husband could take the exam next year, but he didn't want to and wanted to wait for a few years. Her husband was not in a hurry, so after interpreting the fortune today, she didn't plan to persuade him anymore.

Zhulan was silent. Sometimes it was really magical. Many divinations were very accurate. Yesterday, she and Zhou Shuren talked about Jiang Sheng. Zhou Shuren also said that Jiang Sheng lacked a lot. There was no need to rush. It wouldn't hurt to let him settle for a few more years.

Zhulan smiled and said, "Then study for a few more years."

Xuemei took out the amulet and said, "Mom, this is for you and Dad."

Zhulan took it. This was the first time she had seen a lucky charm. She had never seen one in modern times. She gave it to Mrs. Song to keep. Seeing that Xuemei was also tired, she said, "Go back and rest."

Xuemei was very happy today. In the past, she was at home and could hardly go out because of the children, let alone go to the temple or the shop. She said happily, "Mom, I'm going home."

In the evening, Xuemei did not eat with Zhulan. Xuemei's family had dinner in the big room, and Zhulan and Zhou Shuren ate together.

After dinner, I read for a while. When the time came, Mrs. Song went downstairs. Zhulan whispered, "The prince sent a gift. Did you know?"

Zhou Shuren patted his pouting son and said, "I'll know when the gift arrives."

The officials in the government office were well-informed. They came to congratulate him as soon as the gift list arrived. He was stunned for a while!

Zhulan asked, "What do you mean by prince?"

Zhou Shuren replied in a low voice, "I don't think this is the Crown Prince's original intention. Although the Crown Prince has not been ignored in recent years, he has always been the Emperor's shadow, hiding behind the Emperor. If you are a shadow for too long, even if you have the ability, you still cannot subdue the ministers if you have never taken action personally."

Zhu Lan realized, "......Who made the emperor so powerful that the prince has to be careful? If it is really the emperor's intention, this is to drag the prince down. Does the emperor want to teach the prince a lesson?"

Zhou Shuren curled his lips, "I don't know if it's my illusion, but why do I feel like the Emperor is teaching the Crown Prince step by step?"

And he always felt that he, as a chess piece, was helping the emperor pave the way for the prince?

Not to mention Zhou Shuren, Zhulan also felt this way, and she felt even more sympathetic towards the princes.

In the first house, Li took out the letter and said to the head of the household, "This letter was given to me by Qi for the baptism ceremony today. Head of the household, the Xu family is really amazing. They even knew about my mother's birth."

She has also grown a lot, although not as much as Zhao and Dong, she has seen much more and understood a lot. This letter shows that many people are keeping an eye on the Zhou family.

Boss Zhou looked at Li. He had been back for a while in the afternoon. His wife could really hold back. In the past, she would have taken it out as soon as he got home, but now she waited until the evening to give it to him. Boss Zhou chuckled. Not to mention that his wife had become stable, so had he. It had only been a short time since he came to Jinzhou, and he seldom went out, but whenever he went out he would run into people who wanted to get to know him.

Boss Zhou took the letter and read it quickly. It was just an ordinary letter. He returned it to his wife and said, "It's up to you. If you want to continue the relationship, then continue it. If not, then end it."

Li received the letter and said, "We must keep dating. Didn't you see in the letter that the recipe I sold to Qi tasted good? She even asked me if I had any other recipes?"

Boss Zhou, "Do you still want to sell the recipe?"

Li frowned, "I would like to, but there are not so many prescriptions. I will talk about it when I have some free time. I don't want to contact Qi too much at the moment."

Li is not stupid. From the gifts given today for the third day of the baptism, she can tell that things in Jinzhou are not peaceful.
