The eighth day of August was an auspicious day. The Crown Prince would officially become the King of the south on this day. Therefore, the construction of the palace at Jinling was also speeding up. They had to finish it by the end of July in time, so as to not delay the auspicious time. The inauguration ceremony had just ended, and it was now mid-autumn. A banquet could be held in the new palace, and the new monarch and the civil and military ministers could all enjoy it together.
Unfortunately, it was too hot and he accidentally walked into the water. A newly built palace burnt down a side hall, and it would take some time for it to be repaired. It seemed like he couldn't make it in time. The Crown Prince was a kind man, he only asked if there were any casualties. He didn't blame anyone for burning down the palace, but it was a bad omen, and he looked a bit depressed.
Morong Gan could only do his best to comfort him, "There are too many good things to come, with the previous experiences, they will definitely be more careful. Second brother, rest assured, I have nothing to do here, just go to the Jinling a few more times and I will definitely be able to settle everything by the end of the year."
The Crown Prince revealed a faint smile, "I am not worried about your business, but since it is like this, I will have to trouble third brother."
"We brothers will not talk about this. The earlier you ascend to the throne, the better for the people. Why not you be the younger brother?"
The Crown Prince laughed, "If I had known earlier, I would have let you be the king. I would have pushed the stall over to you, and you would have fallen for it all by now."
"I am satisfied just by guarding my wife and children. Second brother is someone who does great things, who else can sit down in this world other than you?"
The Crown Prince joked: "I think that Princess Chu is the person who does great things. To be able to turn the famous Evil God into the temperamental Prince Chu, the contribution is truly not small."
Morong Gan laughed out loud, "Second brother is just laughing at me, but honestly, I am happy inside, accompanying my wife everyday, teasing my children, there is nothing that I am not satisfied with."
"Be satisfied with what you have to say," the Crown Prince smiled and changed the topic, "There is a new Warlord in the north, have you heard about it?"
"I heard," Morong Gan said with a bland expression. "Big Brother likes to set examples, and back then, my Warlord title was also conferred by him."
"Do you know who that person is?"
"Who is it?"
"Bai Changjian."
Morong Gan frowned, "The eldest son of Prime Minister Bai's Mansion?"
"Yes, in the past, when he was stationed in Shanxi as a captain, he had gradually risen to prominence and became the new nobleman in the army. He also had his father's recommendation, and now he is riding on a Great General." The crown prince laughed indifferently, "Bai Rulin is truly not simple. His own daughter is the Noble Consort in the north and his daughter is the Princess Chu in the south. Now that the eldest son is riding on the Great General, such an honor can be comparable to the Huangfu Scholar's Mansion in the past."
Morong Gan was silent for a moment, then continued, "One dynasty, one Courtier, there will be glory for a while, there will be fame for a while, and good fortune for a new generation will decline, this is the way it is, there is nothing to be surprised about."
The Crown Prince glanced at him and hesitantly said, "Zhu'er has been grounded for so long, so the lesson she has learnt is enough. Don't you think …"
Morong Gan's tone was very strange, "Why is she asking me about this, didn't second brother take over already?"
I still have to say the same thing to her. Once we reach Jinling, I will choose a man for her to marry, so that you won't feel uncomfortable about it. "
Morong Gan said, "I don't have anything to be uncomfortable about, I originally wanted to treat her well, but she made me too disappointed, to actually think of using such a dishonorable method, Princess Hua-Yang is such a good person, if I were to change to the second one, I would have torn her face on the spot."
The Crown Prince thought to himself, to think that you could actually say that Princess Hua-Yang was someone with a good temper, didn't you beat his up to such a state?
I have expanded the scope of the ban a little," said the Crown Prince. "Even prisoners have a place to loiter, and a small area of ground below is sewn up for her to use as a yard. It will cool down sooner or later, and Tian'er will stay upstairs, either sick or bored.
Second brother, let's do it, "Morong Gan turned and looked out the window," It's getting late, I have to go.
The Crown Prince laughed, "That's true. Now that we have a child at home, it makes people more worried. Let's go back."
Morong Gan laughed, turned and left, the crown prince looked at his back, his smile gradually disappearing. To be content with what he had done, it was not a good thing at all, turning a clan king who had done great things into a market man who lived his life at home.

A group of people stood in front of Linan City s and looked towards the other end of the street. Some looked excited, some looked indifferent, some scoffed disdainfully, and all had different expressions.
Not far away, a few commoners were standing on opposite ends of the street. They were whispering to each other and discussing what was going on.
I presume that in the future, your son will definitely be able to enter the Middle Palace. Now that your son has become a rider of the Great General, his ancestors' graves must be burning with sweat. "
"That's right, I heard that this Great General was even bestowed the title of Warlord by the Emperor, and now with two Warlord s both of them have fallen into Bai Family."
"What do you mean?" Someone asked, "Wasn't the previous Warlord the Prince Chu? Now that he is in the south, when Prince Fu Zuo is the emperor, why is he involved with Bai Family again?"
"Did you forget that last spring, Prince Chu married the Fifth Miss of Prime Minister Bai's Mansion. At that time, we were still watching the excitement on the streets."
"Oh, I remember now, that's true. But didn't Fifth Miss Bai run away?"
This wife is indeed the. I heard that not long ago, she gave birth to a Heir.
They were busy talking when a group of people walked over from the other side of the street. They hurriedly stretched out their necks to take a look, "Which one is Warlord, I don't think I have seen him before."
"The one in the middle looks pretty heroic," someone said. "I've seen Young Master Bai Family before, he's a weak and scholarly person. It's been a few years since we last met, and I almost couldn't recognize him."
Bai Changjian pulled on the reins, and continued to advance in the direction of the Prime Minister Bai's Mansion without looking away, the words he heard just now echoed in his ears:'s wife is as good as his life. I heard that not long ago, he had given birth to a Heir.
Time flew by so quickly that she had already become a mother … A small face appeared in front of him, a pair of big, dark eyes. Hou Hou was always a little timid when looking at people, but when he smiled, laughter and joy surrounded him as he repeatedly called out to Big Brother.
"Big Brother, what delicious things did you bring me?"
Big Brother, is this for me?
"Big Brother, this is green olives made by the wet nurse. It's delicious, I left three for you."
"Big Brother, do you want to eat mulberry fruits? I picked them up from the trees in the backyard. I'm really good at climbing the trees now, I didn't show them to anyone."
"Big Brother …"
