The direction of the wind in the court seemed to have undergone a huge change in one day, and the civil and military ministers showed their favor to the war king one after another.
The powerful families in the capital also turned the tide.
The noble ladies who had always been fawning over the Fifth Princess and Princess Chen all sent messages to Princess Zhan in unison. This noble lady invited Chu Yunfei to drink tea, and the lady invited Chu Yunfei to enjoy the flowers.
It was calm in the morning, but unexpectedly, within half a day in the afternoon, Chu Yunfei would have seven or eight more invitations in his hand.
Even Grandma Xiong, who was responsible for delivering the post to Chu Yunfei, couldn't help but say: "The situation in the palace determines the direction of the ladies and ladies in the official's family. It can be clearly seen from these posts that The momentum of Prince Chen's Mansion is not very good recently, and those officials are trying to show their goodwill to His Highness the War King."
With so many invitations, they would definitely not go out one by one, not to mention that Chu Yunfei is pregnant now, so she is not suitable to participate in any activities that are slightly noisy.
When there are many people, it is easy to cause chaos, and it is best for disputes to arise when there are many women.
But it doesn't matter whether she participates or not. What matters is that the women who sent the posts want her to see their attitude.
Chu Yunfei was leaning on the bedside. He had just woken up from a nap, and his voice was a little lazy: "It seems that something big happened this morning."
Rong Cang has not come back since he went to court in the morning, so she still doesn't know what happened.
But obviously, the people who sent her the post got the news very quickly.
"Officials in the court have high and low grades, with real power and fictitious duties. For example, in recent years, the Lord Protector has only a title but no actual duties, so he goes to court earlier than other officials." Aunt Xiong said with a smile, "These posts contain It was delivered by Prince Yu’s Mansion and Duke Guo’s Mansion.”
Chu Yunfei hummed, showing little interest in the invitations. Instead, she caressed her belly thoughtfully.
In the past two days, she seemed to feel the beating of the little life in her belly, especially when she was resting, the vitality was particularly obvious.
"Princess, your stomach feels uncomfortable?" Seeing her actions, Grandma Xiong's expression tightened slightly, with a look of worry on her face.
"No, I just think that this child should be well fed." Chu Yunfei raised the corner of her mouth, with a gentle smile of a mother in her eyes, "Other women are pregnant, either they can't eat well or sleep well, or they are lethargic and weak. But I didn't react at all. I could go wherever I wanted to eat and sleep, and I often forgot that I was a pregnant woman."
Grandma Xiong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "After four or five months, you will be able to feel the child's heartbeat. When he gets older, he will kick and beat like a naughty child in his belly. Only then can he I can really feel that there is a little life growing up in my belly day by day.”
Chu Yunfei sighed: "It is a wonderful thing to give birth to life."
"Yes, it's amazing." Mother Xiong nodded, "Would you like to pick one of the invitations here and go out to join in the fun?"
Chu Yunfei turned to look at the pile of invitations placed on the small table of Luohan's couch: "Bring it over and let me have a look."
"yes."
Chu Yunfei looked through them one by one.
The greeting card sent by Mrs. Dou said that she wanted to bring her daughter to visit the princess.
An invitation from Prince Rong's Mansion asked her to come over and have tea.
The invitation from the Yongning Marquis Mansion said that the daughter-in-law of the Yongning Marquis Mansion was holding a poetry party, and the princess was invited to join in the fun when she had time.
Zhao Yunrou, the second ward of the Duke Protector's Mansion, submitted a post, saying that he had been doing some painting in his spare time recently and wanted to ask the princess to give her advice.
The posts from each post are pretty much the same, they are all about a similar tea party and flower viewing feast, but in fact they have the same idea and they all have different agendas.
There was also a post from Princess Yu, saying that she was invited to go to Baiyun Temple in the suburbs to burn incense and pray for blessings.
Chu Yunfei looked at them one by one, with a bit of a smile on his face, and suddenly thought of what he once joked with Rong Cang: "As long as the prince strives for the throne and takes the throne as soon as possible, I, the princess, will naturally have someone to catch up with me." Flatter me, people who want to go shopping with me in the future may be queued from the south of the city to the north of the city."
Sure enough, people are all realistic.
Even before Rong Cang sat on the throne of the crown prince, the direction of the situation had changed so quickly. Those who had known each other before, those who were hostile, those who could not understand him, now all put aside their dignity and began to fawn over him for the benefit of their respective families.
I have to say, power is really a good thing.
"What are you thinking about?" A low and gentle voice sounded in her ears, followed by a crisp and familiar breath approaching, and a kiss as thin as a cicada's wings fell on the top of her head, "Did your lunch taste good?"
Chu Yunfei raised her eyes and looked at him: "Is it possible that if you weren't at home, I wouldn't even be able to eat?"
Rong Cang chuckled and sat down on the edge of the bed: "That's not what I meant."
"Even if it is for the sake of my children, I will eat well." Chu Yunfei said with a smile, "I seem to have just gained the consciousness of being a mother. A little child is shrinking in my belly and growing up little by little... …This feeling is truly amazing as never before.”
Rong Cang looked slightly nervous: "Have you called the doctor to come over and take a look?"
"No, Grandma Xiong said it's normal." Chu Yunfei said with a smile, "She also said that after four or five months, the baby will kick and beat in the belly. I'm already looking forward to it."
Rong Cang raised his hand and touched her abdomen. Through her clothes, she felt nothing special.
Chu Yunfei said: "It's only been three months now, so it's not obvious."
Rong Cang said in a casual tone: "I don't know if it's a boy or a girl."
Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you want a boy or a girl?"
"I want them all," Rong Cang said, "But in the current situation, it would be better if the first child is a girl."
When the fight for wealth is fierce, boys are in danger.
Although the mother is more valuable than the son, the prince can also be more valuable than the father when it comes to competing for the heir apparent. However, the more valuable a person is, the more jealousy and murderous thoughts he will arouse in others.
Rong Cang knew that he had the ability to protect his wife and children.
But he only has a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to guard against thieves. He is always worried that one day he will not be well protected. If it is a daughter, at least it will not arouse the jealousy of his opponents.
"What happened in the palace today?" Chu Yunfei handed the invitation to him, "In one day... no, strictly speaking, there are so many posts in just one afternoon. I have to doubt that the emperor is It’s not that I suddenly made you the crown prince, otherwise the attitudes of these people would have changed too quickly.”
"It is more important to save one's life than to cling to the powerful." Rong Cang put the invitation aside. "King Chen was placed under house arrest, and the Prime Minister was suspended for self-reflection. My father ordered me to investigate the Shuozhou disaster case with full authority. There is a huge involvement in this, and everyone involved in the false report Officials with knowledge of this case will not be able to escape being punished. They are not trying to curry favor with you now, but they want to save the lives of their own family by showing kindness."
"Lying about the disaster?" Chu Yunfei was stunned and couldn't help but sit up straight, "Is the disaster in Shuozhou fake?"
Rong Cang nodded: "Yes."
Chu Yunfei frowned: "What about last year and the year before that?"
Rong Cang said: "Shuozhou has good weather and no disasters at all. Everything is a lie made up by them."
"This is really audacious." Chu Yunfei's face changed slightly, and he put on his clothes and stood up, "Dare to deceive the emperor about the disaster, isn't it a capital crime for the Nine Clans?"
"It is indeed bold and has a wide range of implications. The officials involved range from a dozen to dozens. The details need to be investigated in detail." Rong Cang helped her walk out, "So I will be very busy in the next period of time. , King Chen’s party has been supported by the Prime Minister in recent years, and the Gu family has secretly planned it outside. It has long been deeply rooted, and its influence can affect the whole body, so it has to spend more energy to find out the truth. "
Chu Yunfei hummed: "Just do whatever you have to do, don't worry about me."
