Prince Dun's funeral lasted seven days. The royal family wrote down all the good things they could remember about him, resulting in a long eulogy that stretched for more than ten feet.

After the clan elder finished reading the eulogy, he found that several elderly people in the audience were already semi-fainted!

On the day of Prince Dun's funeral, the sky was unusually clear, with no clouds in the sky and the sun shining brightly.

People said that Prince Dun was kind and compassionate, and could not bear to see everyone standing in the cold wind and freezing.

The funeral was extremely solemn and honorable, but Prince Dun's coffin was not buried in the imperial mausoleum.

The emperor's edict said that Prince Dun had no wife or children, and was afraid of being blamed by the late emperor if he went to the imperial mausoleum.

Prince Dun loved to travel, so he chose a place with good feng shui near the imperial mausoleum with mountains and water for burial.

In this way, the late emperor could not scold Prince Dun, and Prince Dun could live near mountains and rivers. It was the best of both worlds!

But the clan members were not all fools. They shouted "His Majesty is wise" but went home to scold their children and grandchildren:

"You should get married when you are old enough, otherwise you will be like Prince Dun, who is not even worthy of entering the ancestral tomb!"

After this incident, the capital returned to its former tranquility.

"Madam, have you packed your luggage?" Ning Weizhou stood outside the house and looked inside.

Gu Feiwan was pulled by An Ran to sit under the window, while A Li was eating some fruit. Qing Lin and Qing Shuang were directing the little girls to pack their luggage.

But they both counted and packed many of the valuables themselves, as they were reluctant to entrust them to other people.

Gu Feiwan tried to stand up several times, but was stopped by An Ran: "Mother, Doctor Sun said that although you are already three months pregnant and in good health, I still have to watch over you and you can't move around recklessly!"

"My dear, look, An Ran is even more powerful than my grandmother. My grandmother only forbade me to eat cold food, but this child is even forbidden to walk!" Gu Feiwan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Since knowing that she was pregnant, An Ran was the most nervous among all the people.

As soon as she came back from school, she would stare at Gu Feiwan. She would have to rest after walking a few steps, and would get up and walk a few steps after lying down for a long time.

Food that is too hot, too cold, too sweet, too salty, too greasy, etc. is not allowed!

Every day she stares at Gu Feiwan like a hen protecting her chicks, saying this and that!

But with An Ran looking at him like this, Ning Weizhou was obviously much more relaxed, so of course he spoke to An Ran at this time:

"An Ran did the right thing. You are not as sensible as a child!"

Gu Feiwan pointed at himself and suddenly felt like a scholar meeting a soldier, unable to explain himself clearly!

"Be good and listen to Anran. The journey to Jiangnan is long. If you don't listen, I won't take you with you!" Ning Weizhou acted like he was coaxing a child, speaking softly but with a threat like a paper tiger.

"Hmph!" Gu Feiwan threw a preserved fruit at him: "The fruit today is too sweet, it doesn't taste good!"

"Got it. I'll make something lighter tomorrow!"

Gu Feiwan's taste is completely different from before she got pregnant. She likes cold, sour and spicy food!

People who used to not care much about food, now feel very anxious when they want to eat something!

Whenever the taste is not right or the food is not good, I tend to cry easily!

Gu Feiwan secretly asked her grandmother if all pregnant women in the inner house were like her?

Grandmother poked her forehead and teased, "It's common for pregnant women to be greedy, but you're the only one who's so obvious about it! It's all because Xiaozhou dotes on you!"

Gu Feiwan turned away, a little embarrassed, but the corners of her mouth curled up: "He said that I had done the most hard work in bearing children for him, and now he is just a little particular about food, so of course he will do his best to satisfy me."

In fact, Ning Weizhou occasionally saw Gu Feiwan vomiting during pregnancy, and felt so uncomfortable that he stamped his feet anxiously and kept saying, "It's better not to be pregnant!"

Every time, Nanny Zhu, who was sent by my grandmother, would scold me: "General, what you said is inappropriate. Don't say it again in the future!"

However, after three months of pregnancy, Gu Feiwan's health improved, her face regained its former rosy color, and her skin even became whiter, tenderer and more delicate.

After Prince Dun passed away, the emperor rarely summoned Ning Weizhou to the palace. Even during the morning court session, the emperor did not like Ning Weizhou's memorials.

The courtiers, who had a keen sense of smell, immediately changed their tune and warned the clan members not to get close to Ning Weizhou again.

This powerful general of the Wu State, who is very popular and holds great military power, may soon no longer be qualified to discuss state affairs!

Ning Weizhou was sensible. Seeing this situation, he reported to the emperor at the morning court a few days ago, saying that his grandfather was old and sick, and he wanted to go to his bedside to fulfill his filial duties, so he asked for leave for half a year!

Just as the court officials were whispering, the emperor waved his hand and approved it!

Upon hearing the news, the Duke of Zhenguo stopped Ning Weizhou at the palace gate:

"I won't bother with you about Prince Dun's affairs, but you dare to be angry with the emperor now? Everyone knows that the emperor is angry with you. Why don't you stay in the capital and find a way to make the emperor calm down? Only then will you have a future!"

"When you leave, the government changes, and the Spring Examination has just ended. How many people are vying for the position? But you just leave at this time. Isn't this making room for others?"

Ning Bei'an helped to persuade him, "Xiao Zhou, we are talking about the death of Prince Dun behind closed doors. You are responsible! But the emperor values ​​talent and is broad-minded. He is willing to give you a chance. Why are you throwing a tantrum? This is absolutely unacceptable!"

Court officials came out from the palace gate one after another. When they saw Ning Weizhou being reprimanded by their elders, they all looked at each other and smiled!

"The Duke of Zhenguo is really generous. For an unfilial descendant like this, who couldn't even stay away at this time, he was willing to rush over to give a few words of advice. How rare!"

"Do you think our great general looks like he's listening? Humph, he's so arrogant!"

"If he loses his position as a general, his biggest asset will be his birthplace as a Duke of Zhenguo. What is there to be proud of?"

The whispering was loud enough for Duke Zhenguo and Ning Weizhou to hear clearly.

Ning Weizhou sat upright on Zhuifeng's back, with a smile on his face: "Is the Duke of Zhenguo afraid that I will lose power and he won't be able to gain any benefit from me?"

"You..." The Duke of Zhenguo was so angry that his face turned pale. He was old, and he hadn't slept well all night because he came to the palace gate to block Ning Weizhou.

Hearing Ning Weizhou being so ignorant, he became so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Ning Bei'an was very dissatisfied: "Xiao Zhou, your grandfather is so worried about you that he has lost his appetite for several days. How can you be so confused about what is good and what is bad?"

"I can't tell good from bad, so you should stay away from me. It's good for old people to eat and drink less. Eating too much will make you die faster!"

After saying this, Ning Weizhou threw away the reins, and ran away in the blink of an eye!

"Duke Zhenguo, you should take care of yourself. This is a wolf that you can't tame. Why waste your energy on it?"

The feud between Ning Weizhou and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was well known in the capital.

Most men felt that Ning Weizhou was making a big fuss.

Fighting for favor in the imperial harem is common. How can one betray one's family and deny one's own father just because of a grudge between women?
