Du He handed Du Ping'an, who was twisting and turning in his arms, to Linglong and gave her instructions anxiously.

"Linglong, I'll leave Du Ping'an to you to take care of."

Then Du He took Li Yi's white and slender hand and hurriedly walked towards the backyard.

Li Yi said coquettishly, "Hey! Husband, walk slowly, don't be so anxious."

It wasn't even completely dark yet, and I didn't expect that someone related to me would want to do such a bad thing. It was really embarrassing.

Looking at the Prince Consort and the Princess walking further and further away, and the boss holding Du Ping'an with her mouth open, she stood in the wind in amazement for a long time.

Looking at the heavy and restless prince in her arms, she glanced at the large and small bags in her hands.

Linglong said with tears in her eyes.

"what should I do?"

Ever since Her Royal Highness the Princess gave birth to the little prince, her life has become busy, and she doesn't even have time to go out and talk to her little sister Taozi.

At this moment, Du Ping'an in his arms began to suck his mouth, and his chubby little hands also grabbed the clothes on Linglong's chest.

Linglong knew that the little guy was hungry, and she said with a bitter face.

"Your Highness, didn't you just finish drinking milk?"

"Why are you hungry so soon?"

After muttering a few words, Linglong held Du Ping'an and hurried to where the nanny lived.

No wonder the Crown Prince looks so chubby and eats so much. If he were an ordinary family, they would not be able to support him.

...

The next day.

It was not yet daybreak.

Du He, with a tired face, walked into the carriage, holding his aching waist. When he lay on the soft cushion, Du He didn't want to move at all.

"There are only cows that die of exhaustion, but no fields that are plowed to death!"

Thinking about how he had become the host last night, Du He couldn't help but sigh.

Half an hour later.

Du He, breathing heavily, arrived at the gate of Taiji Hall.

"Meetings, Mr. Du."

A group of fourth and fifth rank officials who had been waiting at the entrance of the hall in advance came forward to greet Du He when they saw him coming.

Du He waved his hand at them and said, "No need to be so polite."

In the crowd, Zhongshu Sheren Du Jingtong saw Du He being flattered by a large group of officials, and a sinister smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

He returned to the family yesterday and exaggerated the story of Du He's plan to break up with the family.

The reactions of the elders were just as he had guessed. Their faces turned red with anger, and even some of the precious porcelain was smashed.

Moreover, the clan elders also threatened to give the three brothers Du He, Du Gou and Du Aitong a severe beating.

When Du Aitong was staring at Du He with gloomy eyes, he found that Du He was also looking at him with a smile.

"Humph!"

Seeing Du He's fearless look, Du Aitong lowered his head and snorted coldly.

He secretly muttered in his heart: "Let you be proud for a while!"

The young Du He had never seen the world and knew nothing about the powerful strength of his family.

Du He glanced at Du Aitong and saw that the old man had a bad look on his face, so he shook his head and walked to the front of the crowd.

When Xiao Kai, a doctor in the Ministry of Justice, saw Du He coming over, he waved happily and said.

"Brother Du!"

Du He walked over and patted his shoulder, smiling and saying, "Brother Xiao, I haven't seen you for a while, you look more and more cool!"

"Hehe!" Xiao Kai touched the tip of his nose and said in a low voice: "Brother, I have recently taken in several concubines, all of whom are fair-skinned, beautiful, and have long legs. They are like bridegrooms day and night, how can they not be cool?"

Forehead...

Hearing what Xiao Kai said, Du He was a little speechless, but at the same time she was full of envy for him.

Because Xiao Kai did not have a princess, he had no restrictions on taking concubines. As long as his father Xiao Yu nodded in agreement, he could take as many concubines as he wanted.

This is the happy life of the super second generation!

Du He asked softly, "Brother Xiao, you have so many concubines. Does your wife have any objections?"

Xiao Kai was born in the Nanliang branch of the Lanling Xiao family, and his aunt was Empress Xiao of Emperor Yang of Sui. His status was also the highest among the aristocratic families.

Therefore, his first wife also came from a large family.

Xiao Kai winked and said, "Brother Du, I will talk to you in detail when you arrive at the Ministry of Industry today to take up your post."

As a Langzhong of the Ministry of Yu, he belonged to one of the four departments under the Ministry of Works, and Du He, the Minister of Works, was the highest official of their Ministry of Works.

Du He smiled and said, "Then let's talk later!"

After chatting with Xiao Kai for a while, Du He walked to the door of the main hall and greeted his elder brother Du Gou, Li Ji, Li Daozon and others.

Du Gou looked at Du He with a complicated expression, but because there were so many people around, he didn't say much.

When he returned to the mansion after court yesterday, the old butler told him about the falling out between Du He and his family.

As a person with less open-minded ideas, breaking with his family felt as if his roots were pulled out, and he felt light and insecure.

Du He said softly: "Brother, after this busy period, I will take the princess and Du Ping'an home to worship our ancestors."

"Write to the third brother in the next few days and ask if he can take a leave and come back to Chang'an so that we can get together."

The two brothers must be reminded of this major matter of breaking with the family and dealing with them.

By the way, I'll see how the third brother Du Aitong is doing in arithmetic before handing the horseshoe to him.

With these two achievements and his efforts, there was no problem for him to be promoted to the position in Chang'an.

Du Gou nodded and said, "Okay!"

Just as the two brothers were chatting about family matters, the heavy door of Taiji Hall was slowly opened by the eunuch.

The eunuch bowed respectfully and said, "Please enter the hall, my lords!"

The officials guarding outside the hall went in one after another according to the level of their official rank.

After a while, Hou Junji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others finally arrived.

Du He and Hou Junji, who was smiling, looked at each other, nodded slightly, and then looked away.

"Humph~"

Du He heard a heavy snort behind him and looked back.

I saw Fang Yiai, with a depressed look on his face, staring at me with burning eyes full of jealousy and hatred.

Du He teased him deliberately and said, "Second Brother Fang, the princess's residence is holding a banquet today to celebrate my promotion to the Minister of Works. Would you like to come and have a seat?"

"Don't refuse yet. My wife is planning to invite Princess Gaoyang over. As Princess Gaoyang's consort, you can't be absent, right?"

Upon hearing the bad news, Fang Yiai's face changed.

He could imagine that Gao Yang, the arrogant and stingy man, would definitely come back from Princess Chengyang's Mansion with a lot of anger, and then he would be the one to be punished!

He might even go back to find that bald donkey Bian Ji!

The officials around noticed the little actions of Du He and Fang Yiai, and when they saw Fang Yiai's face turn ugly, they complained in their hearts.

"Du Shangshu is so mean!"

Before Fang Yiai could say anything, a sharp voice came from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have arrived!"
