Chapter 501: Home

Chang Lian explained, "We moved into the Jiang family when we arrived in the capital. I finally got back to the capital, so I went around looking around. I met the Fifth Prince in a teahouse. I didn't know him at first, but I thought we could get along well. Later, when we met and greeted each other, I realized it was the Fifth Prince."

The Fifth Prince's face turned green at that moment, and he realized that he shouldn't have gone out.

Zhu Lan pursed her lips, "You mean the Fifth Prince and you meeting was planned?"

"I went back to the Jiang residence and thought about it carefully. It was indeed a coincidence. There were so many empty tables, why did they come to share a table with me? The fifth prince even took off his prince accessories."

If he had seen that the accessories had already slipped away, why would he have invited others to sit down? On the return journey in the carriage, he was afraid of causing trouble for his father, so he did not dare to go out again.

Zhulan was very depressed. To sum up, everyone in the Zhou family was under surveillance, and everyone was watching their every move. She didn't know whether to be happy that Zhou Shuren was so powerful or depressed. "Do you know the person who greeted the fifth prince?"

Chang Lian coughed, "The prince will accompany you in reading."

When he introduced himself, he was stunned and stood stiffly. He still didn't understand. The Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince had the same father and mother, so why was the Crown Prince's companion standing there with a smile on his face, drinking tea and admiring the Fifth Prince's cold face?

Zhulan raised her eyebrows. So, the Crown Prince has been staring at the Fifth Prince. How could the Fifth Prince not be green with shame? Isn't this directly telling the Fifth Prince that the Crown Prince knows everything about the Fifth Prince?

Zhulan really likes the prince. "This operation is really shocking!"

Chang Lian, "......"

There was indeed a feeling of being crushed. The prince did not even hide his temper and looked at the crown prince with a cold face while he was reading!

Afterwards, he stayed at the Jiang family and watched a big drama. He didn't like the feeling of the Jiang family. It was not like this before. Now it was particularly depressing. His sister had a gloomy face, the children were unwilling to laugh, and Mrs. Dong's face was also gloomy. He really stayed there, and he found that he still hoped for his own atmosphere. His father's education was right, and only when the family is harmonious can everything be prosperous.

Zhu Lan said to Chang Lian, "By the way, your second brother is back."

Chang Lian stood up. Besides studying, he was thinking about saving money. He was confident in his studies. His father and master taught him well, and he was confident of passing the provincial examination next year. However, he felt that the third branch of the family property was too little. "Mom, I'm going to look for my second brother."

"You should stay with Dong first!"

This time, Dong was greatly stimulated. Pregnancy is the time when one feels the most insecure, so she needed Chang Lian's company.

In the evening, Zhulan said that the fifth prince had come to Jinzhou. "Isn't it true that the prince is not allowed to leave the capital without the emperor's order?"

Zhou Shuren also found it strange, "There must be an imperial decree for this."

Zhulan, "...Do you really think so?"

Zhou Shuren, "......."

Well, he didn't believe it either. Based on his understanding of the emperor, the entire Jinzhou had been caught in the net, and the emperor would not be so stupid as to cause trouble.

Zhu Lan lowered her voice, "Is it because she dotes on her youngest son?"

But she always felt something was wrong. From what she knew about the emperor from Zhou Shuren, it was clear that the prince was the emperor's beloved and treasured child.

Zhou Shuren was also confused, "We'll know when the time comes."

In the capital city, not only Zhou Shuren was confused, all the princes were confused. The Crown Prince totally couldn't understand his father who was having fits from time to time. His father actually gave the fifth prince a token, under the euphemism of taking the Emperor on a trip!

The prince was dazed. His father always had a way of striking him down in an instant when the prince thought he understood him.

The second prince was very jealous. He had only been jealous of the crown prince all his life. Now there was one more person. When his father gave them the token, they brothers were all there. He felt very sad. They were all sons, so why was there such a big gap between them?

The third prince was also depressed. Except for the fifth brother, the other brothers were basically the same age. The crown prince was two years older than him and the fourth brother, and one year older than the second brother. So it was quite tragic. Except for the crown prince, the three of them were basically ignored.

Now there is another little son. I didn't realize how much my father loved the fifth son before. The fifth son is far inferior to the crown prince. Take the Zheng Palace for example. It's good for the fifth son to go in twice a year. He is far inferior to the crown prince who is rooted in the Zheng Palace.

I am jealous of the favor my father shows me today.

The Fourth Prince no longer squinted his eyes. He saw that they were all fierce. It was good for him to take his father for a walk and tour the beautiful land, but he could not fight a big battle and cause casualties among the people. Fifth brother, I hope you can come back alive. The Fourth Prince licked his lips, feeling a little bloodthirsty. It was time for the brothers to shed blood.

The fourth prince sneered. The third prince thought that the fifth prince was taking advantage of him, but he disagreed. Who knew if it was just a trick between brothers to deceive them? It would be better to break it off.

Inside the palace, the emperor was looking at the news in his hand. The fifth brother was not in a hurry to leave after arriving in Jinzhou. He looked up at the map of mountains and rivers and laughed softly.

Eunuch Liu's calves were shaking. At this moment, he especially hoped that the Crown Prince was here. At least when the Crown Prince was here, the Emperor would not laugh like that. The last time he laughed so grimly, he had forgotten how many people had died. He was numb.

Jinzhou, today is Zhou Shuren's day off, and the Xu family sent an invitation to Li again. This time Zhulan did not give it to Li, but directly asked the housekeeper to return it. In the future, the Xu family will not have to come to the house.

Outside the gate, the steward of the Xu family nodded and bowed. He was dumbfounded when he heard the reply. He looked up at the steward of the Zhou Mansion and shuddered. He saw Leng Mo, "Yes, I understand."

Just as Steward Ding was about to return to the mansion, two carriages stopped in front of the gate. The first person to get off was Prince Yao. The person who got off after that was unfamiliar. Perhaps Prince Yao was waiting so respectfully, so his status must be very important. Steward Ding hurried forward and said, "Prince."

When Prince Yao saw the Fifth Prince nod, he said, "Lord Zhou is on leave. The Fifth Prince has arrived in Jinzhou and is here to pay a visit."

Steward Ding was stunned. The fifth prince came to visit the old master? Is the old master so powerful?

Steward Ding was stunned for a moment, not daring to wait for the distinguished guest, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince invites you in."

The fifth prince walked ahead, very slowly, and asked casually, "Did anyone come to visit just now?"

Steward Ding twitched his lips, but he couldn't hide it. "The Xu family sent an invitation to invite the first wife, but she declined."

Zhang Jinghong continued walking and did not turn back.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren heard the news from the servant. The couple looked at each other. Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes and said, "You were just talking about it yesterday, but you came today, and you came with great fanfare. It's interesting."

There is still time at 10pm
