Zhou Chen never said anything, but she herself was under great pressure.
Now that she is finally pregnant, her stress has been reduced by half, and she is in a very good mood. She walks and talks with joy.
"Master Hou."
"Pan'er, you are pregnant. You must be careful in the future. If you have anything to do, ask your grandma and servants to do it. Don't run around again, and..."
Zhou Chen is very experienced in taking care of pregnant women. He talked about many things about the care and protection of pregnant women. Zhao Paner and Aunt Zhu were stunned when they heard this.
When a woman is pregnant, Zhou Chen, a man and a dignified marquis, actually knows better than these women. Isn't this too abnormal?
"What are you thinking about?"
Zhao Pan'er shook his head and said: "It's nothing, I'm just happy. Mr. Hou, don't worry, I will definitely protect myself, even for this child."
At this moment, she regarded the child in her belly as more important than herself.
Zhou Chenxun said: "What are you talking about? Children are important, but to me, you are more important."
Zhao Pan'er showed a happy smile. Zhou Chen's words made her feel warm in her heart, but what she said was sincere. She would definitely protect herself for Zhou Chen's children.
Back in the room, Zhao Paner ate with Zhou Chen.
"Master Marquis, I heard that the court has been very chaotic recently. Are you okay?"
"It was a bit chaotic and the fighting was serious, but it didn't have much to do with me and they didn't provoke me."
Zhou Chen's attitude has been very obvious. He just doesn't take sides. Although this attitude makes some people dissatisfied, his power and status are not bad, so all parties dare not target him, so they all selectively ignore him.
he.
"That's good."
Zhao Pan'er breathed a sigh of relief. Now that she was pregnant, she had more thoughts. What she was most worried about was that something would happen to the Hou Mansion. For her, the most reassuring thing was that everything was stable.
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed, and Zhao Paner's belly has begun to show signs of pregnancy.
But the biggest thing that happened during this period was that the struggle between Empress Dowager Liu Wan and Prime Minister Tian Wei had come to an end.
In the end, the rear party headed by the Empress Dowager won the victory. Liu Wan wanted to kill Tian Wei on the grounds that Tian Wei deceived the superiors and deceived the subordinates, evaded the two palaces, and colluded with the eunuch Lei Jing of the inner court. The evidence was conclusive.
But they were dissuaded by many civil servants. They were not all doing it for Tian Wei, but a large part of it was for themselves.
Tian Wei is the prime minister. If Liu Wan kills the prime minister, it will inevitably cause damage to the interests of the civil service group. Even the prime minister can be killed. If a civil servant makes a mistake in the future, will he kill him whenever he wants?
These civil servants regarded their status as being superior to others and could not tolerate such things happening, so they tried their best to dissuade Empress Dowager Liu Wan.
The officials tried to dissuade her, but Liu Wan could only agree, no matter how reluctant she was. In the end, Tian Wei was confiscated and his family was confiscated.
Tian Wei escaped with his life, but Lei Jing and others suffered misfortune. They were all executed and their homes confiscated.
Lei Jing, the former imperial city envoy, was a duplicitous villain in order to survive and get promoted, but he eventually died of his own ambition.
After getting rid of Tian Wei, Empress Dowager Liu Wan officially took control of the power and became the lord of the world above tens of millions of people. Zhao Zhen was nominally the emperor, but in fact, the person who exercised the emperor's power was Liu Wan.
.
Naturally, those who benefited the most from the rise of Empress Dowager Liu Wan were those who originally followed her, including Xiao Qinyan.
Xiao Qinyan, who was dismissed as prime minister at the beginning of the year, became prime minister again and took over Tian Wei's position.
Zhou Chen watched the development of the situation from beginning to end. Tian Wei's ability was good, but unfortunately, he was too inflated. If he played steadily and took his time, he might not have no chance.
It's a pity that he was too impatient, too eager to ignore the new emperor and the empress dowager, and offended the interests of too many people. In the end, he was attacked by a group of people, and ended up with a fate many times more miserable than Ke Zheng's.
Perhaps after the battle of wits and courage with Tian Wei in the past few months, or because he became the actual master of the world, Liu Wan has changed a lot compared to before, and his handling of government affairs is much more mature and steady than before.
Liu Wan's rise to power also had a certain impact on Zhou Chen. Liu Wan specially summoned him once and talked with him for a long time.
Then he was removed from the position of Prince Shaobao, but was awarded the title of Shangzhu Kingdom. Although it was also a false position, his power and status were undoubtedly higher.
