"A storm is coming."

Zhou Chen sighed slightly, looking at the darkened sky in the distance, his heart felt inexplicably heavy.

He is not worried about himself, but the whole family of the Zhongjing Hou Mansion is counting on him, and he must be responsible for them.

Less than a month after the official summoned Zhou Chen, several senior ministers in the court once again petitioned the official to establish a prince as soon as possible. Shortly afterwards, news suddenly came out from the palace that His Majesty was planning to establish King Yong as the prince.

As soon as this incident came out, it immediately caused an uproar in Bianjing City. Then the officials announced the incident. They were indeed going to make King Yong the crown prince, and asked the Ministry of Rites to choose a suitable auspicious day to officially establish the title of crown prince.

.

Following the official's words, the entire court immediately began to get busy.

And those courtiers and families who were good friends with King Yong were all excited and inexplicably excited. They all supported King Yong. King Yong became the prince and would inherit the throne in the future, and they would all follow him in glory.

On the other hand, the people of King Yan's lineage were like mourning, and mourning was everywhere.

Zhou Chen naturally knew about this, but he was not surprised. Now he was more concerned about another thing.

After his hard work, Shulan became pregnant less than three months after entering the house.

This is a great thing. Zhou Chen and Hua Lan have been married for many years. Although they have two sons, they still have fewer heirs than other noble families.

Although the child born to the concubine was a bastard, the bastard was also Zhou Chen's son, so Zhou Chen was naturally very happy to learn that Shulan was pregnant.

In the room, Zhou Chen comforted Shulan softly.

"Next, you just take good care of yourself and don't have to do anything else, you know?"

Shulan replied very obediently: "Yes, Lord Marquis."

In fact, she was more happy and excited than Zhou Chen. She had been married to Sun Xiucai for three years, but the total time they spent together was only a few days. They had no relationship for three years. She didn't know how many gossips were said, but she could only remain silent.

endure it.

But after following Zhou Chen, she became pregnant in less than three months, so she was more excited than anyone else.

In the Hou Mansion for more than two months, both Zhou Chen and Hua Lan were very kind to her and did not show any slight to her just because she was a concubine.

Hua Lan, in particular, often came to talk to her. They were cousins, and now that they are sisters in the same house, their relationship has naturally become better.

There was no morning meeting today, and Zhou Chen did not go out. Instead, he stayed at home and had breakfast with Hua Lan.

After Hua Lan finished eating, she began to do embroidery.

"Officer, I heard that the concubine in the palace sent messages to many noble ladies, asking them to attend banquets in the palace. What is going on?"

Zhou Chen frowned slightly, he also knew about this matter. In fact, when the court began to prepare for the establishment of a prince, he noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in Bianjing City.
