The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

Time flies by like a white horse.

The stars are moving...

Three years later.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he worked hard to govern the country, and the country was prosperous.

Since the four countries opened up border trade, the national treasury has been full and the people's taxes have been greatly reduced.

It is worth mentioning that the gunpowder of that time has now become very complete in scale. Under Feng Yuwan’s research, cannons and muskets have been manufactured.

Although it is not perfect and looks a bit inferior, it is already quite a surprise to everyone.

After the appearance of gunpowder, the borders of the four countries became extremely peaceful and no one dared to invade anymore.

The new emperor worked diligently, and the three little ones did not slack off either.

Because Huo Jingyi had a talent and interest in business, she followed Lu Jinghuai very early on and traveled around the world.

In particular, since Lu Jinghuai had opened up maritime trade, he often went out to sea, and the little guy gained a lot of knowledge by following Lu Jinghuai.

Moreover, the little girl has a unique vision and has made a lot of money by following Lu Jinghuai. Now, according to Lu Jinghuai's words, although Huo Jingyi is still young, she is already a wealthy woman.

If Huo Jingyi grows up, she will most likely become the richest female businessman in Dayong.

Huo Jingyi expressed her satisfaction with this, and often patted her chest and said to Shen Qinglan proudly that she was the one waiting to take care of her mother, and asked Shen Qinglan to just lie down and enjoy it.

As for Huo Junyu, he was also very promising. While Huo Jingyi was out at sea, he secretly followed Nangong Ze into the military camp.

He was gone for three years, and from time to time he would send back news to let people know he was safe.

Huo Junyu and Qian Duoduo have always been good friends, so when Huo Junyu joined the army, he took Qian Duoduo with him.

Qian Duoduo doesn't have much talent in fighting, but he is quite gifted in medicine. After the two little guys joined the army, they helped each other and earned some small military merits.

These small military achievements include, but are not limited to, clearing out the bandits in Dayong and helping the people suppress ruffians and hooligans.

Every time Huo Junyu wrote back, he would complain harshly to Shen Qinglan about Huo Zhanting.

It’s all because their father was too good at fighting, and now it’s his turn, he can only do these little things.

But what is a small matter for Huo Junyu is a big matter for the common people.

For the imperial court, it was a great achievement.

After all, Dayong is now extremely prosperous, and the people's living standards are also improving rapidly. What they fear most are the bandits and hooligans.

With Huo Junyu and his men, after these bandits are suppressed, the people's trade will naturally become smoother, which is a great thing for both the country and the people.

Finally, about Huo Junyan.

Three years later, the imperial examination was reopened. Huo Junyan single-handedly won the top three places and became the youngest number one scholar in history at the age of thirteen.

The top scholar was paraded through the streets. The young man was sitting on a horse, looking heroic and handsome. Many young girls were moved when they saw him.

Many handkerchiefs and red flowers were thrown on the boy, but he just smiled and responded with a calm and elegant manner.

It was not until the end, when Huo Junyan rode his horse back to Prince Zhan's Mansion, that the young man swiftly dismounted.

When he looked at the figure standing in front of the mansion, Huo Junyan's smile suddenly became sincere, a bright smile, like the warm sunshine in spring:

"Mother! Fortunately, I have lived up to your teachings and passed the exam with top honors!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the woman standing in front of Prince Zhan's palace.

She had her hair combed in a bun with a pearl hairpin slanting on her head. She was wearing a bamboo-colored skirt embroidered with hundreds of butterflies and silver patterns. She had a smile on her face. At first glance, everyone thought she was a fairy from the Yaochi Lake who had come down to earth.

"Princess Zhan is so beautiful! She looks like a fairy, right?" Someone couldn't help but sigh.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by fighting the princess or not? She has a title, the Duke of Zhenguo! She is the first female Duke of Zhenguo!"

"That's right. Besides, beauty is the least worth mentioning quality of our princess."

"Ah, that's right. To be honest, the Zhan Palace was not peaceful back then, but it was only after the princess married in that the Zhan Palace made rapid progress."

"Isn't it? I remember that the young masters and young ladies in Prince Zhan's mansion were all spoiled. It's only been a few years now, but they have become very successful..."

Everyone looked at Shen Qinglan and the others and couldn't help but whisper to each other.

It’s no wonder that people sigh.

At the beginning, Huo Junyan and his companions all had a bad reputation. Not to mention others, even Huo Junyan was well-educated, but he was obsessed with heterodox things, such as calligraphy and painting.

Not to mention Huo Junyu, who is a real little bully who can drive many gentlemen away in anger.

Let’s talk about Huo Jingyi. Although she was young, she already had the reputation of being a domineering person. Fortunately, she has turned the tide over the years.

But no matter how to say it, under such circumstances, Shen Qinglan was able to bring these children up, and each of them became so promising. Isn't it enviable?

Nowadays, many families are considering whether they can ask Shen Qinglan for advice on raising children.

Shen Qinglan didn't know what everyone was thinking. She just looked at the high-spirited young man in front of her, and there was a hint of pride in her eyes.

"Brother Yan."

Shen Qinglan looked at Huo Junyan and waved at him.

Huo Junyan hurriedly took a few steps forward and knelt on one knee in front of Shen Qinglan, looking up at Shen Qinglan with admiration.

"Get up! Your grandmother and the others have already prepared a banquet inside to celebrate for you."

Shen Qinglan helped the man up with a smile and spoke in a gentle voice.

Huo Junyan said somewhat embarrassedly: "Why does it need to be so grand?"

"Brother Yu is often in the military camp, and Sister Yi also likes to run around. They are all away from home. Only you have passed the exam and can stay at home safely. Your grandmother and the others will naturally be happy."

Huo Junyan looked a little uncomfortable when he heard this. Shen Qinglan asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

In the entire Prince Zhan's Mansion, the person Huo Junyan respects the most is probably Shen Qinglan.

He glanced at Shen Qinglan awkwardly, then said cautiously: "But mother, I, I have already applied to His Majesty for a posting..."

"Out loud? You..."

Even Shen Qinglan was a little shocked at this moment.

Considering Huo Junyan's identity and knowledge, there was no doubt that he stayed in Beijing.

But now, Huo Junyan actually wants to be sent away?

"Have you thought it through? If you are sent out, I'm afraid you won't be able to return to Beijing for ten years. Besides, if you are sent out, life will be hard. You..."

Shen Qinglan stopped and looked at Huo Junyan with some worry.

"Mother! I have figured it out. If I want to be an official, how can I hear the real demands of the people if I don't go among the people? If we can't even hear the real voices of the people, how can we do things for the people? How can what we do really be implemented in the hearts of the people?"

At this moment, Huo Junyan looked serious and determined.

Shen Qinglan felt a little dazed.

Huo Junyan has always been a sensible child, but because he is too sensible, he has never been a cause of worry for others.

But now, the boy's eyes are firm and clear, which is a kind of determination and pursuit of the ambition in his heart.

Shen Qinglan was distracted for a long while before she smiled and rubbed Huo Junyan's head, saying softly:

"If you have thought it through, then go for it. Mother supports you. The young eagle will always leave its parents and fly high one day."

Huo Junyan laughed when he heard this and bowed to Shen Qinglan: "Thank you, mother. Then, as for grandma and father..."

"I'll go tell you."

"it is good."

Huo Junyan smiled. The boy's smile was pure and warmed people's hearts.

At this moment, a childish voice sounded: "Big pot, big pot..."
