Chapter 842: The Emperor's Thoughts

Shen Yang looked at the prince's frown, and his overheated mind sobered up. Even though he was the real fifth prince, he grew up outside the palace and had no feelings for the prince. He pinched the corner of his clothes and said, "No, nothing."

He is not in a hurry, he needs to stay calm. He has not returned to the royal family yet, he needs to stay calm.

The prince looked away, unwilling to look at Shen Yang. What is fake can never be real.

Shen Yang suddenly raised his head, and then he realized that he had not seen the Queen. He had been in the Zheng Palace since entering the palace today, and the Queen did not look at him, "Brother Crown Prince, Mother."

Don’t you like me? He didn’t dare to say the rest of the words.

The prince's mouth twitched, and he was hesitant in his words. His patience was almost gone. He didn't want to look at Shen Yang, so he looked away and said, "Mother needs to slow down for a while, it's not that I don't want to see you."

Shen Yang felt relieved, "I understand, I understand."

The prince thought to himself, the queen mother just doesn't want to see you, so she pretends to be hit hard and says she is sick.

After dinner at Zhou's house, Chang Lian did not leave. He poured tea for his father and said, "Dad, Zhang Jinghong's decree has been issued, why is there no decree for Shen Yang?"

He had been thinking about this matter the whole afternoon. This fake Fifth Prince had an imperial decree, so why didn't Shen Yang make any move? Shouldn't it be announced to the world?

Zhou Shuren thought to himself that since Shen Yang was also fake, the emperor would not issue an official decree. "Don't worry about Shen Yang. He will not return to the Imperial Academy in the future. Even if he makes things difficult for you in the future, you don't have to be afraid. Just do your job well."

Chang Lian blinked his eyes, "Dad, you seem to know a lot of things!"

"Is there?"

Chang Lian looked at the old man drinking tea with his head down, thinking, not yet, this sentence told him too much, he stood up and smiled, "Your words make me feel more confident, Dad, I'm going back to the yard."

Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "Yeah."

Chang Lian walked away with brisk steps. Zhou Shuren's eyes were full of smiles. This boy really looked more and more like him. This feeling was not bad.

Zhulan waited until there was no one in the room and the maids had all gone downstairs before she said with emotion, "I really didn't expect Zhang Jinghong to have such a good ending. Not only did he survive, but he also became an official."

Zhou Shuren put down his teacup, "Especially the name. Not only the first name has not been changed, but the last name has not been changed either."

Zhu Lan lowered her voice, "No, Zhang Jinghong also has some identity, such as the orphan of the previous dynasty. If this is true, the orphan of the previous dynasty is given the surname Zhang. If it is really exposed in the future, it will not only show the emperor's generosity and win people's hearts, but also give the feeling of suppressing the emperor of the previous dynasty."

So what about the previous dynasty? It’s still named Zhang!

This time, not only the country changed its surname, but also the descendants of the previous dynasty changed their surnames!

Zhou Shuren didn't think about it. "Based on the emperor's character, your guess is most likely the truth."

The more Zhulan thought about it, the more likely it was. "It would be of great benefit to the emperor if Zhang Jinghong's surname was not changed."

The emperor's mind is like a beehive, incredible, so powerful.

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "The Emperor has set up a new plan, and Zhang Jinghong is still the bait."

Zhu Lan understood, "You mean, the emperor is waiting for someone to expose Zhang Jinghong's life experience, and the effect will be best if the news is made public and known to everyone."

"Well, the bigger the noise, the more people will know about it, and the more people will be able to win their hearts. I will never be able to learn the scheming of an emperor in my lifetime."

The scenery you see is different depending on where you stand. The more he understands the emperor, the more he admires him from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Lan looked at Zhou Shuren and sighed, "It's getting late, go take a shower."

Zhou Shuren, "Why are you sighing all of a sudden?"

Zhu Lan smiled, "Because you can't escape the emperor's clutches, so you'd better be obedient and take good care of yourself and work hard for the royal family!"

Still thinking about leaving? Haha, forget it.

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

I feel sorry for my daughter-in-law!

At the Ningguo Mansion, the Ningguo Duke asked his youngest son, "Are you saying that the Crown Prince took Shen Yang back to the Crown Prince's Mansion?"

Ning Xi nodded, "Yes, we have arrived at the Prince's Mansion now. Dad, what does the Emperor mean?"

He rarely goes to the palace now, not only because he doesn't want to provoke the emperor because of Rongchuan, but also because the emperor doesn't summon him. It's not that the emperor is stingy, but that the emperor has his own considerations.

Now he has completely retired to the capital, and the last bit of power he had has been slowly taken over by Shi Qing.

Ning Su's thoughts were a little distracted. Shi Qing and the Zhou family also had some connections. As long as the Zhou family did not commit suicide, they would be rich and prosperous for a long time.

Duke Ning smiled, "So that's how it is. If we bring him back to the Crown Prince's Mansion to live, even without issuing a decree, everyone will think that Shen Yang is the real Fifth Prince. The Emperor has already acknowledged him."

Ning Xu continued, "When Shen Yang moves into the Fifth Prince's residence, it will give people the illusion that the Emperor can do whatever he wants in the future. He never issued a clear decree in the first place."

Duke Ning nodded, "However, we still have to perform the drama that should be performed in the Duke's Mansion."

Ning Xu, "Dad, we know what's going on."

Duke Ning is confident in his youngest son and his second son, but he has no confidence in his second daughter-in-law. Before his youngest son came back and Rongchuan was not around, he really didn't think much of it. But now that Rongchuan is around, his daughter-in-law has a sense of crisis and there are more problems.

Mrs. Du came to the main courtyard whenever she had something to do, thinking that she had concealed her thoughts very well. The old couple just didn't say it to save their second son's face.

Duke Ning thought for a moment and said, "Hui'er, go back and tell Mrs. Du not to get involved in Shen Yang's affairs."

Ning Hui was embarrassed. He also knew his wife's little tricks. He had said it before, so he couldn't scold her. They had been married for many years. If he really humiliated his wife, he would also be humiliating himself. "Dad, your son knows."

In Zhoujia Village, Xuemei finished washing up and came back and said, "Don't read at this late hour. It's bad for your eyes."

Jiang Sheng rubbed his brows and said, "I didn't read the book. I read the articles written by the children in the tribe school. I didn't read them this afternoon because I had something to do. There are only two articles left. I'll be done soon."

Seeing that her son was sleeping soundly, Xuemei waited for a while until her husband cleared the table. Then she whispered, "According to the date, our son should have arrived in the capital."

Jiang Sheng was also concerned about his son, as this was the first time his son had left his parents since he was a child. "Jiang Du is much better now. He can take care of himself."

Xuemei, "I'm not worried about my son's life. His parents will take good care of him. I'm worried about his personality. He's a little shy. I don't know if he can adapt to the capital."

Jiang Sheng was confident, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are good at educating children, so you don't have to worry."

Xuemei thought that her son's personality was like her husband's. If he looked more like her, she wouldn't mind. The twins were very outgoing, but they looked too much alike. She had a headache. "How come the twins look more and more alike after so many years?"

She was thinking about distinguishing them when they grow up, but now the twin sons especially like to play each other. Sometimes when they get into trouble, if she was not their biological mother, she would hardly be able to tell who did the trouble.

Jiang Sheng got a headache whenever he thought of his twin sons. His eldest son was too obedient, his youngest daughter was also sensible, but his twin sons were particularly naughty.

The next day in the capital, the news that Shen Yang had moved into the Prince's Mansion had spread widely.

At Zhou's residence, Xue Han felt that her mother was particularly happy today. "Mom, why are you so happy? Did your eldest sister write to you?"
