The second marriage of the emperor's favorite princess

605 Extra Story: Their Abacus

In the evening, Qiu Mu came out from the Ministry of War.It was getting dark, he hesitated for a moment, and it happened that Nan Xiao came over from one side, saw him waved his hand: "Is His Royal Highness Xiao Yuan still there?"

Qiu Mu smiled helplessly, and then walked over: "Why, Master Nan is only allowed to work hard?"

Nan Xiao smiled sincerely: "Princess goes to accompany the queen, and I'm the only one when I go home. It's better to work hard in the palace. But His Highness Xiaoyuan is different. Don't you have a beautiful wife and son at home? What are you doing here? ?”

Qiu Mu smiled softly: "Isn't this just about to leave? Master Nan going back? Let's go together."

"Okay."

Back at the palace, Qiu Mu raised his head and glanced at the plaque on the gate. It was written by the emperor himself, as if he had returned to that time when he was named a prince.

Looking down gradually, looking at the open door and the attentive butler, he knew that there was someone waiting for him inside.There was no expectation on his face, but he still stepped into the threshold calmly.

In Wangfei's courtyard, Duanmu Shiyao ran over from afar, and said to him with a smile: "Brother Xiaoyuan is back?"

She held Qiumu's arm so affectionately, and Qiumu vaguely saw that girl with braids and a small face as cute and innocent as an apple more than ten years ago, also smiling brightly and rushing towards him, pestering him to accompany her she plays.

They walked into the house together, the two chatted a few words, the servants disappeared, Duanmu Shiyao sat beside him, and gently cuddled him.

"I haven't come back for so many days. You must be very busy, right? I see that you are busy, and I really feel sorry for you. Father, you are not the only courtier. Why do you have to do so many things?"

"How can you blame the emperor? All the departments are very busy. When I came back, I saw Nan Xiao. The official department is also very busy these days."

Duanmu Shiyao narrowed her eyes, she was very reluctant to mention Nan Xiao at this time.Of course, Qiu Mu couldn't see her expression, he just wanted to go back to his room and sleep, so he was about to say go.

Duanmu Shiyao raised her head, her smile was full of anticipation and sweetness: "A few days ago when I went to my mother's place, Shi Lin laughed at us because she was rubbing her belly."

"Oh, what is she laughing at?"

"She laughed at the fact that we have been married for eight years and only have one son, and we have to show off the two children in her belly to me. Brother Xiaoyuan, let's... let's have another child, and I will also be a companion for Yi'er .”

It's normal for husband and wife to share the same room.Family planning was not advocated in ancient times, and pregnancy was rare and common.But Duanmu Shiyao was discussing with him about having another child.Although they are husband and wife, Qiu Mu rarely touches her.This made Duanmu Shiyao very frustrated.But she loves him, even so she can bear it, and her love for him will not fade.Maybe her elder brother Xiaoyuan is the slow-heating type, not as passionate as Father Huang or Nan Xiao.

Seeing her expectant gaze, Qiu Mu frowned slightly.

——Mu'er, Shi Yao loves you very much, you must be happy. ——

To be happy is his promise in front of her.I have tried my best for my mother, but my feelings for Shiyao are really only brother and sister.

After so many years, he still couldn't force himself to like her, seeing Shi Yao's gaze made him feel even more guilty.He has been deceiving Duanmu Shiyao, he loves another woman.

But for that woman, he wanted to make Duanmu Shiyao happy, no matter how hard he was, he wanted to make Shiyao happy.

He, smiling, took Duanmu Shiyao's little hand and walked into the inner room...

When Nan Xiao returned home, the man in black appeared and handed him a letter, which was written by Duanmu Shiyao.

He returned to the bedroom with the letter in his hand, opened the envelope after dismissing the slaves, and looked at the contents of the letter under the palace lamp: he has prepared subordinates everywhere, just waiting for the opportunity.If you see an opportunity, do it right away without hesitation.

Nan Xiao folded the letter paper, took off the lampshade of the palace lantern, put the letter paper in front of the flame and lit it, then threw it on the tea lid, watching it turn into black powder.

Squinting, he got up and went into the bedroom.Standing at the door, looking at the flat sheets on the bed and the quilt stacked on one side.

In a daze, that innocent and beautiful face seemed to be smiling at him, stroking his stomach and asking: Do you think they are all male or female?

Nan Xiao withdrew his gaze and sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes half-closed, but his soft brows were tightly frowned.

The love for her was growing, and with it, the guilt.He is avenging the murder of his father and the annihilation of the country. Why is he so guilty?

Why is Duanmu Shilin not as vicious as her elder sister, why is she so pure, as pure as a flawless pearl, that light makes him feel ashamed.

Nan Xiao lay down straight, covering his forehead with his hands.The air was filled with the smell of burning paper, Wan like a bronze bell reminded him of his crimes towards her...

After morning, Duanmu Canglan went to the small building, he walked up to the second floor, where his fourth son was already waiting.

"Father."

Duanmu Canglan smiled at him, then sat opposite him: "How is your kung fu?"

Xiaosi smiled faintly: "It's okay."

"So, what's the plan?"

Still with that faint smile: "It's okay."

"Then tell me."

"Yes."

Xiaosi bowed respectfully, then straightened up and said with a solemn expression: "I have thought about it carefully, I should not stick to arranging people, but should find a breakthrough. Untrustworthy people will not become a stumbling block to the plan, but can It has become the key that we can take advantage of. Xiaowu's case has another chain reaction, which is to vacate the positions of Hubu Shangshu and Xingbu Shilang. If Erchen is the one who framed Xiaowu, he will not let go of this great deal Opportunities, especially the position of Hubu Shangshu."

Duanmu Canglan had been quietly listening to her son's narration, with a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were shining brightly.Because what Xiao Si said was exactly what he thought.This kid is really amazing.

"Erchen is Hubu Minister, and Hubu Shangshu is Erchen's immediate boss. If Erchen is the next target, then those people will not let go of the vacancy of Hubu Shangshu. Not only can you monitor Erchen, but you can also wait for opportunities to plot evil. Therefore, as long as you keep an eye on this person, you can follow the clues and pull out the black hands behind the scenes one by one. Of course, this matter should not be rushed, and you must find out all the details before accepting it. For this reason, the emperor needs to give the son a deal. When there is an opportunity for a big event, these people will take advantage of this opportunity to create trouble and frame their sons and ministers. When the father is in charge of the imperial capital, he will start with the Minister of the Household Department and attack these troublemakers."

Duanmu Canglan nodded: "That's a good point. Those people need a chance, and so do we. Let us wait patiently for the time to unmask."

After Xiaosi left, Duanmu Canglan went to the bookshelf, took out Master's essays and looked through them.It's all about him and Ling Shaochi.

Ling Shaochi, if you really set a trap, that trap has already been exposed.Let me see who is the person who helped you dig the trap.
