Chapter 1553 Peace of Mind

Zhulan met the fourth prince first, the fourth prince and the crown prince have a quarter phase, the fourth prince is not tall, he is a chubby little fat man, although he has a bit of a temper, he is a prince after all, the rules he should have are the best.

Zhulan said a few words to the fourth prince, and then asked someone to lead the fourth prince to the courtyard of the youngest son.

When the fourth prince arrived in the courtyard, he no longer had a sullen face, and said before anyone entered the house, "Changzhong, my prince is here."

Chang Zhong hurriedly put on his shoes, waited for the fourth prince to come in, and said politely: "I have seen the fourth prince."

The fourth prince waved his hands, "My mother said that we are relatives, so you and I don't need to be polite."

Chang Zhong smiled and didn't answer, the Zhou family and the royal family are close relatives, he is really stupid.

The fourth prince scanned the room with novelty in his eyes, "You have a lot of novelty here. I haven't seen this boat decoration before in the market. Where did you buy it?"

Chang Zhong said heartily, "My second brother has been stationed in a foreign country for several years. He bought it abroad. It is said that it was seized from a pirate ship."

It is very rare for him to be carved out of a whole ivory.

The fourth prince also likes it, and abruptly shifted his gaze. This is not the grandfather's house. He seldom goes to the grandfather's house. A glance at the grandfather's house will be sent to him. The Zhou family that he made friends with was all for the sake of the eldest brother, and also for him to be a happy king in the future, so he held back.

Chang Zhong didn't see the reluctant eyes of the fourth prince, who is not his own baby anymore, "Fourth prince, please sit down."

The fourth prince looked at the table on the kang, "You have so many kinds of fruits here."

Chang Zhong started Brother Xuan's mode, "My second brother is willing to spend money, most of them are bought from foreign businessmen, and my mother specially prepared them when he knew His Highness was coming."

It doesn't mean to eat it all the time, because you are willing to take out all the dishes because there are distinguished guests.

The fourth prince, Tuo Tiao Ye Prince, has a lot of eyes, so he naturally understood, and said enviously: "Your second brother is really generous."

Unlike his own brother who is still the prince, he is also very picky on his own brother!

"Try it, Your Highness."

The fourth prince is impolite. After the little father-in-law next to him tasted it, he started to eat it himself. Although he is the son of the eldest son, his proportions are numerous. The fruits in winter are precious, and the palace is thrifty. His proportions have been reduced. It's not easy to eat the mother's fruit, I haven't eaten fruit so happily for a long time.

Seeing that the fourth prince liked it, Chang Zhong didn't touch the fruit anymore, instead he ate nuts, feeling in his heart that sometimes the fourth prince was not as comfortable as him. As the youngest son in the family, he is spoiled by his elder brothers, so he is not short of blessings.

In the main courtyard, Zhu Lan was talking to Tao Shi, and Tao Shi said: "I have eaten the food of the Hou Mansion this year, so Wang Wei got a lot of venison. I personally sent one over when I arrived in Beijing yesterday. Make up for it in winter, don’t be reluctant to eat it, I’ll send it over if you don’t have it.”

Zhulan, "Don't worry, I won't be polite, but when did Wang Wei come back?"

"I said, I'm ready to leave and come back. They said that the errands they were in charge of stopped. I don't know the details. However, it's good for Wang Wei to come back. Yulu is still pregnant, so I just want to spend more time with Yulu."

Zhulan's heart fluttered, it seemed that there was a change in the northeast border, and the construction work was stopped. It's better to withdraw first, so as not to be unsafe.

Zhulan thought of her granddaughter, "I heard from my eldest daughter-in-law that Yulu has gained a lot of weight recently?"

"It's true that I have gained a lot of weight, and the children don't make trouble. My old lady said that the bad girl is an obedient girl."

Zhulan raised her eyebrows, "You think it's a girl too?"

Tao Shi sincerely hoped to be a boy, but he couldn't say it, and said with a smile: "Girls and boys are rare, and our Wang family also lacks a daughter-in-law!"

Zhulan smiled, the old lady and Tao Shi were talking ironically, "You'll know when you're born."

Tao Shi, "Our family is very precious to Yulu. Since Yulu was pregnant, my daughter-in-law has sent good things back to the capital every month. If it is not inseparable, I can't wait to come back to accompany Yulu in person."

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

But don't, there will be more conflicts when you come back.

Tao Shi sat there for a while and then went back, taking some fresh vegetables. Tao Shi was reluctant to part with his great-grandson, second-generation relatives, and the Wang family's heirs were weak, and Yulu's eldest son was a favorite.

I got venison, and because the fourth prince came, I asked the kitchen to prepare some. The venison was too meaty, so I didn't prepare too much, and I prepared more vegetables.

When Zhou Shuren came back in the afternoon, Zhulan smiled and said, "If the palace hadn't sent someone to remind me, the fourth prince would not have planned to leave."

Zhou Shuren, "The fourth prince stayed for too long this time, it will be hard to think about it next time."

Zhulan smiled, "I just found out that this fourth prince is also a foodie, everything is good in our house."

"The emperor sets an example. The expenses in the palace are frugal, and the princes' allowances are reduced. The fourth prince can enjoy himself in our house, but he is not willing to leave."

Zhulan, "In the future, if the fourth prince can leave the palace, he will definitely find Changzhong."

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Our son knows it well, and he won't suffer."

"I'm afraid that the emperor will draw a red line for Changzhong."

Zhou Shuren pondered for a moment, "Probably not, Changzhong is the name given by the Supreme Emperor, that's enough."

Zhulan's face lightened up, "That's good."

The next day, in Pinggang, Changyi was the official who greeted the envoys. Only when he arrived in Pinggang did he know that there was going to be a wave of force deterrence. He looked at the navy in front of him and clicked twice. The action of the navy was big enough.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites took the envoys from various countries to watch the stage. When an order was given, the cannons were ignited, and the eliminated fishing boats prepared in the distance were within range, and sank after a while.

Changyi's eyes widened. He took the telescope in the guard's hand and raised his eyebrows. Why did he feel that the range was farther?

The confusion was quickly solved, the artillery has been improved, the range is longer, the power is greater, and it is more accurate.

Changyi and other officials of the Ministry of Rites were excited and proud, which represented the strength of the imperial court.

The faces of the envoys from various countries turned green, and the faces of the envoys with ulterior motives froze.

If Zhou Shuren was there, he would smile meaningfully, because the artillery is not the most advanced, and it is obvious that deterrence is also reserved.

The way back to Beijing was very quiet, and the envoys from various countries felt uneasy, thinking that the trip would not go smoothly.

Changyi felt relaxed, sitting in the carriage drinking tea, his expression was extremely relaxed, he thought he would spend all his time dealing with the envoys from various countries, but after being shocked, he became as quiet as a chicken.

As for the Zhou Mansion in the capital, Zhulan looked at Jiang Ping worriedly, "Your injury is just a little better, and it hasn't healed yet, so you can't wait until you're healed before leaving?"

Jiang Ping felt guilty but had to leave, "Grandma, the imperial court needs information from the two countries, and I am also worried about Jiang An."

If he hadn't lost too much weight after escaping, he was afraid of going back and revealing his secrets. He would not go home even if he was injured.

Zhulan felt distressed. She couldn't accept that any accident happened to her two grandchildren, but she had no choice but to say, "Bring more proprietary medicines and pay more attention to safety. Be careful in everything. The family is waiting for you to come back."

Jiang Ping's eyes were sour, and in the end, between the country and the family, he chose the country.
