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

Prince Kang and Duke Dingguo also had trouble sleeping.

I had a sleepless night.

Duke Dingguo sent someone to call his youngest son over early in the morning.

The servant replied that the second young master was still sleeping with his legs spread out, not knowing day or night.

"This is outrageous. It's already noon and you're still sleeping. Father, I'll go wake up my second brother. He's getting more and more lazy." Master Du frowned unhappily.

He habitually scolded Du Youchuan first. In his eyes, this uneducated brother was just a useless piece of mud.

Duke Dingguo stopped him, "No, let him sleep, he should be tired too."

Prince Du: "How can he be tired? He has nothing to do all day. He must have drunk too much yesterday."

"It was reasonable for him to drink yesterday. It's a rare achievement." Duke Dingguo couldn't help feeling a little proud when he thought of his youngest son's high-spirited appearance in the palace yesterday.

"Father, you don't really believe that it was my second brother who saved Prince Chen. Do you think it's credible?" Prince Du sneered.

Who is Du Youchuan? When he was a kid, he would cry for three days even when he was doing horse stance. All he could do every day was tease cats and dogs. How could a waste like him burn down the Thirteen Villages?

He wouldn't believe it even if I beat him to death.

"It is indeed hard to believe, but this is the fact," said Duke Dingguo.

"Perhaps we have underestimated Chuan'er on weekdays."

Prince Du almost laughed out loud again, how could it be possible.

"If it wasn't Chuan'er who saved Prince Chen, why would Prince Chen give him such a great credit?" Duke Dingguo asked back.

Destroy the Thirteen Villages! Prince Chen took all the credit, and no one else dared to say anything.

Prince Du looked unhappy, this was also something he couldn't understand.

The father and son analyzed for a long time and time passed by unknowingly.

Du Youchuan finally came over with a satisfied look on his face.

He didn't get a good night's sleep in Jingkou. He was worried all day long. It was rare for him to get a good night's sleep when he got home. If the servants didn't wake him up, he felt he could have slept for three days and three nights.

"Don't say anything for now. I'm starving. Go get some food." Du Youchuan ordered the servants as soon as he entered the room.

"Go quickly and bring the meal to the Second Young Master."

Du Youchuan: “?”

His father didn't even kick him out.

"Dad, are you looking for me?" Du Youchuan asked cautiously.

Duke Dingguo looked at his youngest son. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he found that his youngest son had a handsome face today.

"Don't worry, fill your stomach first." Duke Dingguo said gently.

Du Youchuan felt even more uneasy. From childhood to adulthood, his father had never spoken to him in such a kind manner.

"It's okay. I can still bear it a little longer. Dad, just tell me what you want to say." Du Youchuan said.

"What are you talking about? You can't even behave properly in front of your father." Master Du scolded.

Du Youchuan said "oh" and sat up straight.

Duke Dingguo was not angry, but asked gently, "Are you going to the Pacification Office today?"

"No, the commander gave us three days to rest. I will go to Prince Chen's mansion in a while. The commander has given birth to a son. I have to go to congratulate him and give him gifts."

"Prince Chen's eldest son was born?" Duke Dingguo was shocked.

The servants finally brought a table of food. Du Youchuan ate with gusto, holding a meat bun in one hand and beef soup in the other.

"Yes, he just came back yesterday and became a father. What should I give to the young master? Well, I'll ask mother later."

"You, you have been sleeping since you came back yesterday. How do you know that Prince Chen's eldest son was born?" Prince Du didn't believe it. Even he didn't know about this.

Du Youchuan curled his lips and said, "We in the Pacification Division have our own information channels, which cannot be shared with outsiders."

"..." Master Du sneered. His own brother had become an outsider.

Duke Dingguo smiled as he watched his youngest son eat with relish.

"Are you full?"

Du Youchuan swallowed a mouthful of bun and said, "Dad, just say whatever you want to say. You're a little creepy like this."

Duke Dingguo clenched his fists and said with a smile, "Then tell me, how did you save Prince Chen?"

"Oh, Dad, didn't I tell you yesterday? How many times do you want me to say it?" Du Youchuan called out unclearly.

Prince Du's face darkened. "Don't be so presumptuous. Just say what I tell you to say."

"We were resting at the post station. When we woke up, we couldn't see the Prince of Chen anymore. We then learned that the post station chief had been kidnapped. It turned out that the kidnapper was someone from the Thirteen Villages. He had taken the Prince of Chen away."

"The Thirteen Villages are at the top of the mountain, and the halfway point is full of traps. We have been trying to find a way to break the traps leading into the mountain."

"Later, we broke the mechanism and burned down the Thirteen Villages. We met the escaped Prince Chen halfway, and that was it."

This was not the first time that Duke Dingguo had heard his youngest son talk about this matter. Every time he heard it, he felt that... it was even more magical than writing a storybook.

"Eat quickly, and then go give gifts to Prince Chen." Duke Dingguo patted his youngest son's shoulder.

Prince Du was incredulous, "Father, you don't really believe his lies, do you?"

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Now your brother has already chosen Prince Chen. I think Prince Chen is willing to give him a chance. It's better to follow Prince Chen than to be a devil." Duke Dingguo said.

"But what should I say if the Second Prince asks?" said Prince Du.

Duke Dingguo: "What does it have to do with the Second Prince? We are always loyal to the Emperor."

Du Youchuan didn't care what kind of confusing lawsuit they were having. After dinner, he went to Prince Kang's mansion to find Feng Qian'an.

Feng Qian'an had just been interrogated by Prince Kang and Princess Kang.

I managed to escape with great difficulty.

Princess Kang looked at her son's back, which seemed to be taller and stronger. She looked at Prince Kang hesitantly, "Our son seems to be... more motivated?"

"Yes." King Kang nodded. "That's fine. Let him do it."

"I will prepare a generous gift for Princess Chen." said Princess Kang.

The same thing happened in other families.

Those young men who entered the Zhenfu Division at that time received unprecedented attention at home.

……

The Prince Chen's Mansion is extremely lively today.

Not long after the little prince arrived, two aunts from the Ruan family came with Old Madam Ruan.

Madam Gu and Mrs. Jiang were busy entertaining guests.

Jiang held Liang's hand and expressed gratitude, "Aunt, I really needed you yesterday. It just so happened that when the old lady and I went to pray, we were trapped in the mountains by heavy snow. With you here to take care of us, I, as a mother..."

"Mother-in-law, it is because of you and the old lady's blessing for Sui Sui that she was able to give birth so smoothly. We have all given birth to children before and know how difficult it is. Sui Sui was blessed by God and everything went smoothly and safely."

Jiang nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, Suisui is a blessed child."

After a while, Princess Kang and the wife of Duke Dingguo also arrived.

Everyone knew that Shen Suian couldn't see guests after giving birth, so they just put down the gifts and waited until the full moon banquet to visit her.

Liang sighed, "After today, Prince Chen's Mansion has truly entered everyone's eyes in the capital."

"Anti-the-Thirteen Villages is one thing, but the King of Chen lets those who follow him receive rewards and make contributions. This is the power of winning people's hearts." Old Madam Ruan said with a smile.

Just when Fu Jinyuan was happily becoming a father, news came from Yong Dynasty.

The Emperor of Yong Dynasty passed away and the second prince succeeded to the throne.

Who knows what kind of changes the new emperor will bring to the world.
