Time flies. In a blink of an eye, Liu Bo's daughter Xiao Yumi can already run around the yard, and Xiao Shiliu and Xiao Shiqi also have a new task - full-time babysitters.

In the past two years, except for Chu Zeming who went back to the capital to see his two brothers, no one else went back to the capital and devoted themselves to the work of Liuzhou Prefecture. During this period, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and millet were widely promoted and became common ingredients on the tables of Haoyue people.

With the cooperation of Liuzhou Prefecture and the strong support of Imperial Medicine, the number of newborns in various prefectures of Haoyue has increased several times, which made the city lords very happy and they put more effort into vigorously developing the economy and improving the living standards of the people in their prefectures.

Doctor Wang, Doctor Dou and other four doctors tried their best to recruit many doctors with special skills, so that the medical school of Liuzhou Prefecture imported a large number of medical talents for various prefectures. Especially students who are good at surgery, there is a certain number of them in each prefecture. Liuzhou Prefecture has become a place that everyone in Haoyue gives a thumbs up to.

Sun Shao and Liu Xuanyi used strong liquor, wine cups, tea, various exquisite tea sets, cloth, etc. to break open the door of the nomadic peoples on the border, introduced a large number of adult horses, and solved a big problem in the Haoyue Army.

Every time Situ Yidong wrote a letter to introduce the operation and training methods of the Liuzhou Prefecture military camp in detail to the old master Situ, the old master Situ would organize the military personnel to carefully study and deliberate, and then give feedback to Situ Yidong after finding out the gaps. After the specific practice of the Liuzhou Prefecture military camp, it was promoted to other prefectures in Haoyue.

Although some things were kept secret, the top leaders of Haoyue were making intensive preparations. The more discerning city lords around Liuzhou Prefecture, such as City Lord Wang, used various channels to establish relationships with Liuzhou Prefecture, with the main idea that they would have meat to eat if they followed Meixiang.

There are really smart people and foolish people in the world. Madam Yan of the Second Prince's Mansion and Madam Hui of the Third Prince's Mansion both gave birth to a concubine's son after ten months of pregnancy. The Second Prince's Concubine followed the imperial decree and let the nanny take the child to her own courtyard after the child was born. It can't be said that she treated the child very well, but she never treated him harshly.

Madam Yan naturally refused. This child was the most useful tool for her to turn things around. She tried all sorts of means, but she could not withstand the people sent by the palace to guard her. In the end, she was sent to the family temple unwillingly under the various promises of the Second Prince.

The Third Prince, who was not far away, was even more lively. The Third Prince's wife was much hotter than the Second Prince's wife, and she could not tolerate any injustice. Originally, the mansion was always in turmoil because of the quarrels between the concubines that the Third Prince had brought in.

Since Zhou Hui was brought into the palace, although Sun Yu concealed her affairs in order to give her a chance and issued a gag order to everyone in the palace, it could not stop someone from investigating, and soon Zhou Hui's past deeds were exposed to everyone in the palace.

Although it was common practice for these ladies to use some seductive tactics to deal with men, especially lustful men, otherwise they would not be able to enter the three princes' palaces with their backgrounds, but Zhou Hui, who failed to seduce the father, her cousin and uncle, especially Madam Sun, was famous for being good to her.

In order to hook up with the Third Prince, she couldn't even wait until he got home, and climbed into his bed on the way. How could such a woman be respected? Now that she has given birth to a son, it is even more unpleasant for those ladies to look down on her, and it is inevitable that they will find fault with her. I wonder if all this is what Zhou Hui expected?

As the emperor grew two years older, the number of male heirs in the Second Prince's Palace and the Third Prince's Palace increased year by year. In addition, the Queen still did not show up and no new women entered the harem. The turmoil of selecting concubines and establishing crown princes began to be stirred up again with the instigation of some people with ulterior motives.

"What on earth do these people want to do? Are they too idle lately and have nothing to do? Why do they keep staring at my household affairs every day?" The emperor got angry for once, and all the memorials on the desk were swept off the table and scattered everywhere.

The emperor's personal eunuch wiped his sweat quietly, thinking to himself that there was no family affairs in the royal family, but he dared not say it out loud, so he could only secretly signal his apprentice who was guarding the door, asking him to find a way to get help.

This was the scene Wang Huang saw when he entered the room. Most of the servants stood at the door and dared not utter a word. Memorials were scattered all over the floor. The usually good-tempered emperor was so angry that his face and neck became thick. He sat on the chair with his head slightly lowered and breathing heavily.

He waved his hand at the eunuch who was about to greet him, and sighed secretly. Recently, everyone has been busy secretly, especially the emperor, whose pressure can be imagined. There is no one around him to talk to, and all his thoughts are suppressed in his heart. Some ministers who don't know how to look at others are rushing into the trap. Could it be that they made him so angry?

Sighing secretly again, Emperor Wang waved his hand and asked the people waiting to leave, leaving only Wang Nei Shi to serve in the imperial study: "My son, what's wrong with you that makes you so angry?"

The awakened emperor looked up and saw his father smiling at him. He stood up a little awkwardly and asked, "Why is my father here? Which little bastard went to tip you off and disturbed you?"

"I didn't bring any news. I just happened to stroll here and came in to take a look." Emperor Wang said as he sat down on a chair beside him. Eunuch Wang bent down quietly and picked up the scattered memorials on the ground.

Wang Huang waved at him, "Bring those over to me, so I can see what these people are up to."

Eunuch Wang paused slightly as he walked towards the imperial desk, looked up at the emperor, and seeing that he had no objection, he turned around and placed the memorial in his hand on the desk next to the emperor, then went to make tea for the two of them.

Flipping through the memorial in his hand, he saw that the Emperor Wang's chest was rising and falling more and more, his face was visibly red, and his breathing was getting heavier. Seeing this, Eunuch Wang secretly thought that it was not good. He reached out and stroked the Emperor Wang's back, gently moving him up and down to help him breathe, and whispered to him: "Emperor, don't get angry, don't get angry!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wang closed the memorial in his hand. With the comfort of Wang Nei Shi, his emotions slowly calmed down and his face returned to normal. He raised his hand and waved to Wang Nei Shi behind him. He took a deep breath and looked at the emperor: "These people are a bit too much. Summon the other three families to discuss it later. If it doesn't work, we will kill the chicken to scare the monkey and let them be quiet for a while."

He took the tea bowl handed to him by Wang Nei Shi and took a sip. "Hmm, is this the new tea this year? Why does it taste a little different from previous years?"
