Chapter 843: Minister Cherishes His Life

Zhu Lan said, "I am glad that the real and fake princes in the capital have attracted attention. Fewer people will come to our house. For a while, no one will pay attention to the marriage between Yu Shuang and Ming Teng."

Xue Han, "Mom, do you remember what my third brother said, Shen Yang, no, did the fifth prince mention Yu Shuang?"

Zhulan, "......"

She really forgot about it and didn't take it to heart at the time, so she really didn't pay attention to it.

Xue Han knew from her mother's expression that she had forgotten, and asked worriedly, "Mother, do you think the Fifth Prince would miss Yu Shuang?"

Zhulan was really unsure. Shen Yang was not a smart man. Who knew whether he would bring up this matter? She was not afraid of the emperor's agreement, but she was afraid that Shen Yang would come to her house himself.

Who can say there is a precedent?

If this really happens, the Zhou family will be too passive. Even if the emperor disagrees, how will the whole capital look at Yu Shuang? Yu Shuang's life will be ruined!

Xue Han is worried about Yu Shuang. Why is it so difficult for Yu Shuang to get married? No one was interested in her before, but now someone is thinking about her!

Zhulan called a servant and asked him to go to the Ministry of Revenue, and waited for the servant to leave.

Zhulan said, "I want to tell your father that it is better to arrange Yushuang's marriage as soon as possible."

Xue Han thought so too, "Mom, don't worry, Dad will find a way."

That’s right, everyone in the Zhou family trusts Dad very much. In the eyes of Xue Han and others, there is nothing that Dad can’t do!

In the Prince's Mansion, Shen Yang sat depressedly on a chair in the yard, looking at the guards standing at the gate. He wanted to go out, but the guards stopped him and said it was the Prince's order, saying that for his safety, he had to stay in the Prince's Mansion obediently for the next few days.

However, Shen Yang wanted to go out. He wanted to go to the Hanlin Academy. He wanted to meet Zhou Changlian and those people who looked down on him before. Now he was a prince, and he wanted to see Zhou Changlian and others bow to him and try to please him.

He also wanted to buy the book he had always wanted to buy. Now that he had money, he wanted to spend it.

But now, the eldest prince gave him money, but he couldn't even leave the yard, let alone spend the money.

He also missed his servant. There was no one familiar around him. Even though the guards and maids were respectful to him, he still wanted to have someone familiar around him.

Inside the palace, the emperor asked the prince, "Is he under surveillance?"

The prince said, "He can't get out because he is guarded by the guards."

"That's good. Go to the Fifth Prince's Mansion and take a look. I wonder what a mess it is in right now."

The prince was about to go over, "Son, I'll go right away."

At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren met the servant of the family, waited for the servant to leave, and then returned to the house.

Qiu Yan asked, "But what happened at home?"

Zhou Shuren looked at Mr. Qiu with a burning gaze, which frightened Mr. Qiu. "Mr. Zhou, why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhou Shuren asked with a smile, "I heard that your second grandson is twelve years old this year?"

He had never considered Qiu Yan before, all because Qiu Yan didn't want to have anything to do with him, and he couldn't just stick up for someone who didn't like him. But now, for the sake of his granddaughter, he just had to stick with her.

In fact, Lord Qiu's family is pretty good. Lord Qiu has only one concubine, and the couple has a good relationship. There is no mess in the family, and the family tradition is still good.

Qiu Yanqian smiled and said, "It is indeed twelve years old. This is not my brother-in-law who wants to get married, but he just needs to choose a day."

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

He really wanted to say that this was the bad thing about the ancient times, there were too many marriages between relatives. Yesterday he rejected Lord Fang, and today he let Lord Qiu come back.

Qiu Yan coughed and lowered his head, thinking in his heart that his son's marriage must be settled as soon as possible. The Zhou family is indeed a good marriage partner, but the Zhou family is too involved. No, absolutely not. He would rather find a family of lower origin for his grandson.

Zhou Shuren was thinking about his grandson-in-law in his mind. There were very few who were of the right age and well-matched who were not engaged. In ancient times, engagement was very early, and many were engaged while still in their mother's womb. It seemed that there were many who were not well-matched, and it was really difficult to find a suitable one.

If the Wang family had not taken the initiative to arrange the marriage, Yu Lu's marriage would not have been so smooth. In the final analysis, Yu Lu's marriage was due to too much luck.

Zhou Shuren let out a breath, which frightened Lord Qiu so much that he lowered his head even lower.

In the Hanlin Academy, Chang Lian didn't want to stay in the room. People in the room were still discussing Shen Yang, and someone actually kept his distance from him.

Shi Qing followed him out and saw Chang Lian staring at the dead leaves in the yard. "It will be fine after a while. Don't take it to heart."

Chang Lian chuckled, "You don't think I'm sad, do you?"

Shi Qing, "No?"

"No, I'm not sad. I've been prepared for this. Although Shen Yang won't do anything to me now that his status has changed, their fear is understandable since they don't have a family background."

However, he also saw through some things more clearly.

Shi Qing was relieved to see that Chang Lian was not sad. Actually, he was worried about Chang Lian because Chang Lian had been so lucky all the way and had never suffered any injustice. "I'm glad you can figure it out."

Chang Lian picked a leaf and said, "My father once said that every experience is a growth. This is good. I can see through more things."

Shi Qing smiled. After so many years, he still envied Zhou Changlian for having a good father to guide him.

As they were talking, Rongchuan entered the yard and walked over to them, "Third brother, what are you talking about?"

Chang Lian threw away the leaf and said, "I didn't say anything. You went in and out of the palace too quickly today, and what's in your hand was brought back from the palace?"

Rong Chuan felt embarrassed, "Well, this is the fruit from the palace. The emperor asked me to bring it back to taste it."

Today he did nothing when he entered the palace. He just kept eating and even took a tour of the Empress's palace. His stomach is now bloated.

Chang Lian sighed that the emperor was too good to Rongchuan. If he didn't look alike, he would have suspected that Rongchuan was the emperor's son.

Rong Chuan said, "I will take half of these fruits back, and Third Brother will take the rest. Also, tell Xue Han and me that my father told me not to go anywhere for the next two days."

Chang Lian was happy that Rong Chuan was always thinking about his girlfriend, but these two were really close, "I know."

In the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Zhang Jinghong was still lying in bed. He had a high fever last night. If the imperial physician had not been watching over him and increasing the dosage of the medicine, he would still be having a fever.

Zhang Jinghong looked at the Crown Prince and the Second Prince and coughed, "I really cannot do this. Please forgive me, Crown Prince and Second Prince."

The prince liked Zhang Jinghong more and more. "I heard from the imperial physician that you should just lie down and rest. You don't need to get up."

The second prince sat aside and said, "This time you have damaged your vitality, and you will suffer from chronic illness in the future."

Zhang Jinghong coughed. The imperial physician had told him that he was already fatally injured, and he didn't take good care of himself in order to get to the capital as soon as possible. He was also exhausted after returning to the capital. Now his body was injured. He smiled weakly, "This is good, isn't it?"

The prince smiled and said, "Since you understand this, I believe you will be able to live a good life in the future."

The second prince had originally been thinking about pulling the strings, but after hearing what Zhang Jinghong said, he smiled and said, "I hope you can always see clearly."

Zhang Jinghong felt uncomfortable in his chest, but he felt relieved. "Of course, I cherish my life."
