If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Ruan arranged the little prince's courtyard near Danbo Courtyard. Her selfish wish was that the two brothers could develop a deeper relationship.

Living close together means we can spend more time together.

When Mr. Lu San heard the news, he rushed home before dinner.

Ruan arranged a banquet and together with Lu Yuan and his wife, hosted a welcome party for the little prince.

Looking at the delicious food on the table, Fu Jinyi blinked his eyes and his saliva was about to flow out.

Shen Sui'an couldn't help laughing when watching this, look how greedy the child is.

"Your brother specifically asked Doctor Zhou, and he said that it's okay for your body to eat some meat in moderation, but you can't do it without restraint." Shen Sui'an said softly.

Fu Jinyi was a little embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, I'm not like this usually."

He had not had a good meal in the first place because of his hurried journey. After finally reaching the capital city, his money was robbed and he had no food to eat, so he was very hungry.

After waking up, I only drank porridge.

His eyes light up when he sees meat now.

Ruan was angry and distressed, "Eat quickly."

"Don't run around these few days. Tell me where you want to go and I'll take you there."

"But you won't be able to stay for a few days. The Queen's people will take you back soon."

The pork belly in Fu Jinyi's mouth suddenly lost its flavor.

"If you like, stay a few more days." Lu Yuan whispered.

"!" Fu Jinyi nodded.

It’s great to have a brother.

It’s different from the eldest royal brother. The look in his eldest royal brother’s eyes always seems to be as cold as if he wishes he would die soon.

Ruan and Mr. Lu looked at each other, she lowered her head, and heat welled up at the corners of her eyes.

If the elder sister saw that the two brothers had recognized each other and that Lu Yuan did not reject the Crown Prince at all, she would definitely be very pleased.

There was also a smile in Shen Sui'an's eyes.

She looked at Lu Yuan with gentle eyes, thinking that it seemed to be a good thing for Lu Yuan to reunite with his relatives.

Lu Yuan arranged two clever servants to serve Fu Jinyi, and also asked someone to watch him drink the medicine before going to bed.

After returning to Danbo Courtyard, Lu Yuan went to the bathroom to wash up first. Shen Suian combed his hair for him. Seeing his relaxed expression, he was obviously in a good mood.

"Husband, how does it feel to have a younger brother?" Shen Suian asked Lu Yuan with a smile.

"Not bad." Lu Yuan curled his lips. After seeing the person, he did not resist as he imagined.

Shen Sui'an said, "You like the little prince very much, right?"

"He is a kind and soft-hearted child." Lu Yuan said in a low voice.

Thinking of what Zhou Zhou said today, Lu Yuan's eyes darkened, "Zhou Zhou said he won't live long."

Shen Sui'an paused.

"Let's find a doctor with better medical skills than Dr. Zhou," said Shen Sui'an.

It was so difficult for Lu Yuan to recognize his biological brother, and the little prince is so smart and cute, why can't he live a hundred years?

"Ruan Xinglin told me that the prince was not in good health. I didn't believe it at the time and thought he was lying to me." Lu Yuan said in a low voice.

Looking back now, whether it was Ruan Xinglin or Third Aunt, their tone was always filled with sadness when they mentioned the little prince.

Perhaps they already knew about the little prince's physical condition.

"No wonder I heard that the eldest prince of the Southern Dynasty has a status as high as that of the crown prince in the court." Shen Sui'an said.

He Zhiyuan's people were probably certain that the little prince would not live long, so they were not in a hurry to eliminate their opponents. Instead, they were wary of Lu Yuan's existence.

They were afraid that once Lu Yuan returned to the Southern Dynasty, a new situation would definitely arise between the Queen and the Imperial Concubine.

Thinking of the Empress whom he had never met, Shen Sui'an felt a little sad.

Fu Jinyi has had heart disease since childhood, and the situation he lives in is full of dangers.

The Queen of the Southern Dynasty must have spent a great deal of thought and effort to teach her youngest son to be so polite and kind.

"I'll go find Zhou Zhou again tomorrow." Lu Yuan said in a low voice.

……

……

The maritime shipping franchise has finally been settled.

The official shipping rights are exclusively owned by Hengshui Shipun.

This is the cooperation that Shen Suian mentioned to Concubine Yao.

Of course, just finding out the spy around Princess Yongning was not enough to make Concubine Yao agree to Shen Sui'an's request.

Unless the Yao family also joins the partnership.

Of course Shen Sui'an agreed.

When Lu Yuan's identity can no longer be concealed, the shipping franchise will not fall into her hands.

Now the Hengshui Shipyard houses the Zhennan Palace and the Yao family. Even if she only takes the dividends from her shares in the future, it will still be a considerable sum of money.

She personally told Shui Yanze the news.

"Really?" Shui Yanze looked a little dazed.

These days he knew that sea transportation would be opened, but he did not dare to imagine that he would be able to obtain the sea transportation franchise.

Shui Qingqing stepped forward and took his hand, "Brother, it's true, it's true, I saw the court document with my own eyes."

Shen Sui'an smiled and said, "The court will deliver the official document to you soon. I learned the good news in advance and came with Qingqing to tell you."

"Next, you need to speed up preparations for the merchant ship to go out to sea."

Shui Yanze's chest heaved violently, his eyes were red, and soon he burst into tears.

Even when the Shui family stole the family property and the three of them lived a hard life, he never shed a tear.

But this time he couldn't control himself any longer.

He covered his face and sobbed.

When Shui Qingqing saw her elder brother crying, she couldn't help but cry too.

Butler Huang said, "Mr. Shui, the hardship has finally ended and happiness has finally come."

"Yes, yes." Shui Yanze nodded.

His father's spirit in heaven would certainly be pleased to see that Hengshui Shiptun will one day be open to sea again.

Shui Yan turned to Shen Sui'an and bowed deeply to her.

"Mrs. Lu, thank you so much." He knew that if it weren't for Shen Suian, the shipping franchise might not have fallen into his shipyard.

Shen Sui'an: "I can't help you much from now on. I can only rely on you."

The caravan she formed was still short of a navigator, and the best candidate had not returned yet.

"I still have to meet another boss, Mr. Shui, and the handover with the court will be left to you." Shen Sui'an said.

Shui Yanze: "Okay, if there are any questions, I will report to you again."

Concubine Yao had promised her that the Yao family would participate in the shares, but would not influence the affairs of Hengshui Shipun.

The person Shen Sui'an was going to meet was the person who represented the Yao family to cooperate with her, the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Yao family.

Yao Xinling, niece of Concubine Yao.

They met at Yipintang.

The last time he went to the Yao family for a banquet, Shen Sui'an did not see Yao Xinling. He only knew that the one in charge of the Yao family's household affairs now was the eldest lady of the second room.

When we arrived at the agreed room, a young woman was already making tea inside.

Yao Xinling is only seventeen years old this year. She looks a bit like Concubine Yao, with bright and pretty facial features. When she smiles, there are faint dimples at the corners of her mouth.

"Princess Le'an, I have long heard of your great name."

Shen Sui'an returned the greeting, "Miss Yao, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"I was eager to try Yipinlou's milk skin pastry, so I ate a plate while it was hot. I haven't been back to the capital for a long time, and I missed it so much." Yao Xinling said with a smile.

Yao Xinling is a straightforward person, a little different from ordinary noble ladies.

Shen Sui'an felt it would be easier to deal with such people.

"Actually, I don't know much about shipyards, but I just like traveling around these years. If I can go out to sea with them at that time, it would be a really enjoyable thing." Yao Xinling said with a smile.
