With his hands behind his back, he ate a melon, and the country's fortune soared.

The mansion of Duke Yan was decorated with vibrant red, making it look extremely festive.

The servants were busy, and everyone had a sincere smile on their face.

Duke Yan had also gotten over the "shock" of the successive deaths of Mo Wanwan's siblings. Today was the wedding day of his only daughter, so naturally he, as a father, had to be present.

However, the guests also discovered that Duke Yan looked much older, but Old Madam Xiao, who was standing next to him and entertaining the guests, had changed a lot.

After nearly a year of conditioning, Xiao Xue has gained a lot of weight. Now her back is straight, her complexion is rosy, and her round face has fewer wrinkles.

Eunuch Fu stayed by Old Madam Xiao's side with a smile on his face, taking care of her in every possible way.

Duke Yan glared at Eunuch Fu several times with a stern look on his face, but Eunuch Fu didn't care about him at all.

Anyway, after today, His Majesty will issue an edict, and his son Shiyin will officially become the Duke of Yan. Eunuch Fu tilted his head and thought for a while.

Then he whispered in Madam Xiao's ear, "Madam, over the past year, our prince has assisted the Queen in opening a relief home, a nursing home, and a girls' school. Even His Majesty has praised our prince and son-in-law several times. Do you think His Majesty will mention our prince's identity?"

"Greedy," Xiao Xue rolled her eyes at Eunuch Fu, "The Duke is already the first rank of duke, isn't that enough?"

Eunuch Fu grinned, "Then the Duke is one level lower than the Prince, and the Duke of Yan sounds the same as the Duke of Yan, which makes it seem like we have something to hide."

As he said this, he glanced meaningfully at the top of Duke Yan's head.

Xiao Xue suppressed her laughter and pointed at him lightly with her hand.

Duke of Yan...

You damn eunuch, do you think wearing a green hat has that function?

Eunuch Fu...

No need!

Just as the Duke of Yan and Eunuch Fu were engaged in a quarrel, the Queen arrived in casual clothes with the Princess Hengyang and the eldest princess, who were both dressed up.

Everyone bowed together, and the queen asked everyone to stand up, "Today is a big day for our family, so there is no need to be polite, cousin."

Xiao Xue was so pleased by the three words "cousin aunt" that she smiled. She reached out to rub Qianqian's little face, then bent down to pinch her chubby earlobes.

Then he took the Queen's hand affectionately and said, "Oh, Your Majesty has become more beautiful now, so radiant."

[Tongzi, come and see if there are any melons? ]

[Of course,] the system hummed, [Duke Yan is a psychopath, he came here today just to disrupt his daughter's wedding.]

【what? 】

Qian Qian looked up at Duke Yan and rolled his eyes at him, "What does this old man want to do with his double plugs?"

The system was a bit disgusting, [He, he hid a woman in the wedding room, lying on the wedding bed, waiting to get on Li Lian. ]

Xiao Xue...

Eunuch Fu...

Madam Li ran towards Qian Qian in small steps...

The three of them looked at the Duke of Yan together, their eyes were either filled with contempt or murderous intent. Some people are old and confused and have bad hearts. They dare not deal with outsiders and will do whatever they want to bully their wives and daughters.

The Duke of Yan didn't understand what was going on and was still happily greeting the guests.

Xiao Xue lowered her voice and instructed Eunuch Fu, "I think this old man Mo can be cured for a while so that he can live out the rest of his life in luxury on the farm."

"Yes, I will go to the bridal chamber first."

Eunuch Fu turned and walked away, gradually quickening his pace.

The Queen also looked at the Duke of Yan with disgust, thinking that there must be something wrong with this old man.

Everyone adjusted their mood and continued to entertain the guests. Mrs. Li took Qian Qian into her arms as she wished, but after trying several times, she failed to lift him up.

"Oh," Mrs. Li laughed awkwardly, "Our little princess is so strong. How about it? Do you want to come home with me?"

"Hmm," Qian Qian glanced at his mother, "Hmm."

[Tongzi, does Li Yu have any melons at home? ]

[Hehe, there are a lot of melons in his house. Little princess, why don’t you stay at the Li family for a few days? Madam Li is from a minority ethnic group in the south, let me tell you.]

[Yeah,] I have a slight impression of Qianqian, [and then?]

[This ethnic group is called the Yan clan, which means reproduction. They believe that a woman's ten-month pregnancy that continues life is very great and is the foundation of the entire ethnic group's existence.]

[In the Yan clan, women are respected, and they practice polyandry. As for the Yan clan's Li family, which is Madam Li's family, it's a bit of a pity. ]

[What a pity? How do you say that?]

[The Li family of the Yan clan always produces a shipbuilding genius every three to five years. In the past, the warships of Daxia were also very powerful. ]

[Little princess, my melons here are not complete again, alas. ]

The system sighed helplessly, "I'm only telling you what I know so far. I don't know why the descendants of the Yan clan Li family have been dying out in the past 20 years, and no shipbuilding genius has appeared again."

[It was precisely because the family had lost its talent that the Yan clan Li family made an exception and agreed to let Madam Li find a husband from another clan, and allowed Madam Li to leave the family and live in the capital.]

[In the capital, no one knows Mrs. Li's true identity. I don't know if it's because Mrs. Li left the Yan family. Her third son, Li Rui, is a little genius in shipbuilding.]

Mrs. Li's eyes became sore after hearing this, and she managed to hold back from screaming out in surprise.

As expected of a little princess, she really knew everything. But, what did she say about that brat Li Rui?

A little shipbuilding genius?

She thought back to how miserable Li Rui was at home, and thought that the little princess probably also made mistakes sometimes.

[However, what a pity,] the system sighed, [Li Rui is only twelve years old, but he has been led by someone to become addicted to gambling. He has been gambling for three years.]

Madam Li covered her chest and her breathing became rapid unconsciously. The Queen hurriedly helped her up and guided Li Rui to gamble?

Could it be that someone already knew that Li Rui was a shipbuilding genius?

But, she looked at the money. She knew how much Daxia needed shipbuilding talents. She knew it, and Daxia’s enemies knew it too...

【Ah? Three years? Who did it?】

[Uh,] The system feels a little ashamed, [I can’t eat the whole part of the little princess.]

[Alas,] Qian Qian's shoulders slumped, [Then I have to go to the Li family. The shipbuilding genius must not be wasted. What do you think will happen if Li Rui and Zhang Junmo join forces in the future? Roar.]

Qian Qian held Madam Li's left hand and Sister Hua's right hand, [Tongzi, what do you think about Li Rui's incident? Could it be related to the system? ]

The system voice was serious, [I think this is possible. I have now repaired 87% of it. It is unlikely that I will not be able to eat all the melons. ]

[If Li Rui's matter is really related to another system, then that system is either as capable as me or stronger than me.]

[Tongzi,] Qianqian looked serious, [Can you awaken some skills that can quickly repair or improve your abilities?]

[Uh,] The system felt bitter, [Little Princess, I have used all the energy I got from eating melons these days to repair myself. I may have to wait a little longer for the skill awakening.]

[Okay,] Qianqian looked around, [Let me see whose melons are left to eat.]

[Eh,] turning her head, she saw four or five ladies in luxurious clothes, smiling and walking towards them. [Tongzi, those ladies look like they are smiling with ill intentions.]

[Yes, I did not have good intentions. I was instructed by my husband to persuade your mother to behave herself. Haha.]

Queen...

"Come here, those ladies are wearing too bright colors, they are dazzling to my eyes, please don't let them wander around in front of me."

Everyone...
