Although the house here is repaired, but in fact it is only five or six rooms, and there is no one in sight, and it feels quiet all around, but soon Duanmu Shuxuan heard a burst of footsteps, he followed the footsteps and looked over, only to see a somewhat fat man, wearing a just blue cotton clothes, stepping on cloth shoes under his feet, trouser legs are high, and he is walking quickly with two buckets of water, although it has been a long time since he has seen him, but Duanmu Shuxuan still recognized the other party at a glance is his second son Duanmu Yun。
To say that Duanmu Yun's background is not low, not to mention that he is the prince now, even if he was the second son of the palace in the past, what hardships have he suffered there, not to mention that like now, he is the same as ordinary farmers doing rough work there. Seeing this, Duanmu Shuxuan's heart suddenly became a little sour, and he couldn't help but think of what Li Hui said to him back then, at that time, Li Hui said that no matter how wrong Luo was, Duanmu Yun was his own flesh and blood after all, so he let himself take more care of the child, but at that time, because of the disgust for Luo in his heart, he didn't hear these words at all, and now he feels full of regret when he thinks about it. If he could listen to Li Hui's words back then, even if he only paid a little more attention to his son, I am afraid that he would not have become what he is today.
"Ah~~~!Father~~~Father~~~!" Duanmu Yun didn't expect that he would be able to see his father one day, and he didn't care about the water he was carrying, so he hurriedly threw the flat shoulder and knelt on the ground.
The water in the bucket was originally quite full, although it was said that the bucket was not poured like this, but the water in it was spilled out a small half, Duanmu Yun was so nervous that he didn't pay attention to the water stains on the ground, so he knelt directly on the muddy ground full of water marks, which looked very embarrassed.
On the one hand, he didn't want his son to be wronged, but on the other hand, he couldn't forget the things that Luo did back then, so he didn't know how to face him for a while when he saw his son like this, and it took a long time for him to ask his son to get up.
"Get up!!"
Duanmu Yun stood up when he heard this, but now he has long since lost the arrogance of the past, after experiencing this series of changes, his whole person has become introverted and timid, especially now that his father has become the king of a country, the majesty of his body makes him tremble.
Seeing that his son was standing there stupidly and not speaking, Duanmu Shuxuan could only provoke the topic by himself: "What are you doing here? What are the people around you doing? How can you let your dignified prince do such a rough job?"
However, after listening to his father's words, Duanmu Yun raised his head and glanced at it with some surprise, and then lowered his head and whispered: "Erchen doesn't have anything to do here, so there are not many palace people serving, today~~~ There are just some things today!and~~~ And Erchen doesn't think it's bad to do this, anyway, Erchen won't do anything, it's better to do this, you can pass the time, and you can move your muscles and bones~~!"
Duanmu Shuxuan couldn't help but lean back when Duanmu Yun said this, he really didn't expect his son to say this to himself, if he said this, he would still be a good worker? Thinking of this, Duanmu Shuxuan couldn't help but be angry that his son was willing to fall, but he completely forgot that he obviously threw him aside, and he didn't care about it for so many years.
Duanmu Shuxuan, who was angry, simply flicked his sleeves and left directly, but seeing his father's departure, Duanmu Yun acted like nothing and continued to pick up a bucket to water the vegetable field he had cultivated.
After Duanmu Shuxuan went back angrily, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was wrong, especially when he remembered the situation in which his son lived now, and he still had to do those rough jobs, and he felt a little sorry for his son in his heart, and at this time he remembered what Father-in-law Gao had told him before, he clearly said that the prince and the eldest princess were helping Yun'er~~! And the prince also specifically mentioned Yun'er's marriage to himself, and also said that he cared about his younger brother, but since he cared, why did his second son live like this?
Duanmu Shuxuan, who was full of doubts in his heart, called Gao Gonggong over again and asked him to tell him about Duanmu Yun's situation.
"Your Majesty, you don't know, when His Royal Highness the Second Prince first entered the palace, he actually had a good life~~!" Gao Gonggong said everything he had investigated, "But soon after entering the palace, I don't know why, I became addicted to gambling, and as a result, I lost all the money in my hands in less than two years, and then although the prince has been helping, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has always taken the silver and things given by the prince to gamble, and when he doesn't gamble, he eats, drinks, and sleeps~!" ”
"Later, until one time, His Royal Highness the Second Prince didn't know what happened and fell ill, but there was only a half-blind old eunuch and two little palace maids around to take care of him, and it was not necessarily good to ask the imperial doctor to go over and see it twice, but the condition was getting more and more serious, and later if it wasn't discovered by the prince and the eldest princess, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Second Prince would have lost his life~!"
"But even if it's like this, it's only after recuperating in bed for more than half a year before I can get out of bed!And before, His Royal Highness the Second Prince was very fat, and he even had to be supported by someone to walk on weekdays, but the body was thinner because of this disease, and then the eldest princess said that being too fat was also a disease, and it was not good for her health, so she persuaded His Royal Highness the Second Prince to reclaim a few small vegetable patches in his palace, and he had nothing to do with vegetables and watering every day, and after opening his physical activity, this body would naturally be better~~!"
After listening to Grandpa Gao's words, Duanmu Shuxuan had mixed feelings in his heart for a while, he really didn't expect that his second son would be so miserable in the palace, and what Grandpa Gao said was vague, but he also heard a lot of things, first of all, gambling is prohibited in the palace, but someone dares to tempt his son to become addicted to gambling.
Moreover, after his son was sick, it was okay if there were no palace people around him to serve him, and he was helpless to let the imperial doctor go if he was seriously ill? And why did the prince and Feiling's girl get better after the disease passed? The most important thing is why he had never heard of this matter at all? If he wanted to say that there was no one in this who was making trouble, he was definitely the first one who would not believe it.
"You go down~~~!" Duanmu Shuxuan pinched his eyebrows with a little headache and ordered Gao Gonggong to go down first, now he just wants to be alone and quiet.
Within a few days, Queen Mu found a few suitable candidates for Duanmu Yun, and then wrote the candidates she had found on the booklet and presented them to Duanmu Shuxuan, and when Duanmu Shuxuan saw the first name written on this list, the whole person's face suddenly became very ugly, but he didn't say anything, but during this time, he frequently summoned several Hanlin Academy scholars into the palace, and half a month later, he ordered Duanmu Yun to marry the eldest daughter of Han Dong, a Hanlin Academy scholar, as a concubine, and the marriage date was half a year later。

Li Hui didn't go far this time, her daughter must be young, and it's not good for the child to be so tired and busy, but even so, the family of three still played outside for nearly two months before coming back.
"These are gifts for Xiaocai~~!" Li Hui pointed to a pile of gifts on the table and said to Xiaocai, and then her hand turned to point to another pile of gifts and said, "These things are for Xiu'er!"
"Thank you, aunt~~!" Xiaocai hurriedly hugged Li Hui's arm and thanked her with a smile on her face.
"You too, you're too used to them~~!" Xing'er couldn't help but say when she looked at her daughter.
"It seems that you are not used to it~~!" Li Hui took a sip of tea and said, "By the way, has Xiu'er's wedding date been set?"
When Li Hui left before, Xiu'er's marriage was being discussed, and she had been gone for almost two months, and the marriage should have been decided.
"It's settled~~!" Speaking of which, Xing'er was a little emotional, "It's set on the eighth day of the ninth month~~!"
"What? On the eighth day of the ninth month, isn't there no more than a few days~~!" Li Hui was really startled when he heard this, "Didn't you say that you would keep Xiu'er for two more years before?"
"My sister-in-law wants to keep Xiu'er for two more years, but the old lady of the Mao family suddenly fell seriously ill, and this old lady's wish is to see her little grandson get married.
"Chongxi?" Li Hui frowned when he heard this, "How can there be such an idea, if the old lady still doesn't survive after Xiu'er gets married, wouldn't it make people make irresponsible remarks about Xiu'er?"
"Of course we know this, in fact, the Mao family also said, although it may not be really possible, but such a thought is good after all, and no matter whether the old lady can survive or not, this has nothing to do with Xiu'er~~!" Xing'er hurriedly said: "This Mao family is very sincere in this matter, even grandma was moved, and grandma still agreed to this matter~~!"
"That's okay~~!" Li Hui nodded when he heard it, this marriage was originally a happy event, but if it was mixed with other things, it was likely to cause some problems at that time, especially Chongxi.
"The wedding date is so rushed, is Xiu'er's dowry all ready?" Thinking that this wedding date is so rushed, Li Hui is worried that Xiu'er's dowry is a little too hasty, you must know that this woman is married, the dowry is a very important part, and she will even be impressed with the status of her in-law's family, so as long as there is a qualified family in the family, she will try her best to prepare a rich dowry for her daughter.
"It's a little too rushed this day, so I asked my sister-in-law to take the furniture that I prepared for Xiu'er first, anyway, Xiu'er is still young, and I'm not in a hurry~~!" Xing'er said with a smile, she had said that she had said the pillar before, and she thought he was fine, so she was in a hurry to give her daughter the furniture to marry, but she didn't expect to save Xiu'er's child at this time.
"That's good~~!" Li Hui nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "I'll go back and let people prepare for Xiu'er to add makeup~~!"
Li Hui sat at Xing'er's place for a while before going back, and as soon as he went back that day, he saw Li Shuo frowning and looking at a piece of stationery.
Although Li Hui didn't see what was written on the letterhead, she recognized that the letter paper Li Shuo was holding in her hand was a unique paper of the Great Moon Kingdom, so she opened her mouth and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there something going on with Nan Sheng?"
"Hmm~~!" Li Shuo nodded, and then handed the letter in his hand to Li Hui.
"This said that Otsuki's side is particularly concerned about artillery now, and a lot of spies have been sent over, and the king of Otsuki has ordered that the artillery technology must be stolen! Even Nan Sheng has been put up with an idea~~!"
Li Hui looked at the content of the letter and nodded, and said: "This is expected, there must be no chance of winning against cold weapons against hot weapons, so don't talk about Dayue, I'm afraid that these surrounding countries, large and small, are now fighting this idea!"
"But the artillery is not so easy to steal, it must be so big, and it is so heavy, it is not easy to start at all, so they must be inclined to steal drawings and the like!
"That's true~!" Li Shuo also agreed with what his wife said," And because the Huo family asked people to dismantle the cannons before, there is no way to restore the two cannons until now, and this matter is not a secret, as long as you investigate a little, you can know, so let's just get the drawings copied by the Huo family, and then let people hand them over to Nansheng, I remember that the most lacking thing in Dayue is iron ore, if you want to make that thing, the consumption of iron alone is enough for them to drink a pot, not to mention that it is completely a waste ~~!"
