Chapter 103 Duan Chun’s Childhood Friends

Dakang Palace.

Although His Majesty returned to the inner palace on the pretext of being sleepy.

But he did not go to any of the concubines' palaces, nor did he go to the bedroom.

Instead, he returned to the study.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the Shenji Palace."

"Duke Changguo and the prince have brought the Princess of Beixia back to the palace."

"The Beixia delegation also returned to the Sifang Pavilion under the arrangement of Lord Yuwen of the Honglu Temple."

"During the period, they did not contact anyone else."

Li Gaofu hurried into the study from the gate and bowed his head respectfully.

"The people in the Sifang Pavilion, and the spies who are in contact with them."

"Have they all been closely watched by me?"

The emperor asked without raising his head while looking at the memorial.

"Your Majesty, everything is under the control of the Shenji Palace."

Li Gaofu replied.

"Have you found out the details of Xiao Wangshan?"

The emperor continued to ask.

"Reporting to your majesty, Xiao Wangshan has been under the watch of the Shenji Mansion in the Ye Ting Palace for the past ten years."

"So far, he has not been found to have done anything wrong."

"Your majesty should be assured that he has appointed him to serve the Prince of Changguo."

Li Gaofu replied.

"What I want is not only to be assured."

"But to be absolutely assured."

"As soon as possible, let the Ministry of Revenue sort out 100,000 shi of grain and hand it over to the Beixia envoys to take back to Beixia."

"During this period, those people from Beixia have not seen anyone in the Imperial Capital."

"The Shenji Mansion must be carefully watched by me, and there must be no mistakes!"

The emperor said.

"I obey your order."

"Also, let Duan Chun rest for two days."

"The day after tomorrow, he will be formally summoned to the outer court to wait for orders."

"This kid is very smart, and he cannot be left idle."

The emperor thought and smiled.

"I obey your order."

Li Gaofu smiled secretly in his heart, this young master.

I am afraid it will be troublesome in the future...

...

He slept well.

It was not until the morning of the next day that Duan Chun yawned and walked out of the bedroom.

Taoer and Xinger hurried over to help the young master wash and organize his clothes.

Looking at these two beautiful girls who were about 17 or 18 years old, Duan Chun felt very happy.

Hugging them on both sides, and roaming around with his hands...

This made Taoer and Xinger very angry, and just then the housekeeper hurried to the gate of the courtyard.

Duan Chun had to let go of the two girls and looked at the housekeeper curiously.

"Young master, the prince of Shouhou and the prince of Daihou in the outer courtyard want to see you."

The housekeeper said respectfully.

"Qu Heng, Wu Xian?"

"Why are they here today?"

Duan Chun immediately thought of the appearance of two noble boys.

Qu Heng is the prince of Shouhou, the vanguard general under my father's account.

Wu Xian's father is also a general under my father's account, and he has repeatedly made military achievements with my father.

He was named Daihou by His Majesty for his military achievements.

He is about the same age as Duan Chun and grew up together since childhood.

They are the closest childhood friends.

The night when Duan Chun was injured in the back of his head, it was a gathering of them.

They called Duan Chun to go out to drink wine secretly, which led to such a thing.

Since Duan Chun woke up, he has not seen these two guys again.

"I will go to see them right away."

"Let them wait for a moment."

Duan Chun said.

"Yes, Master."

The housekeeper turned and left, and Duan Chun quickly asked Tao'er and Xing'er to bring breakfast.

After quickly filling his stomach, he changed into a gorgeous robe and strode towards the outer courtyard.

When he came to the side room garden on one side of the outer courtyard, he saw two tall and thin boys sitting there and talking quietly.

Seeing Duan Chun coming, the two stood up in surprise and ran to his side.

"Oh my God, I haven't seen my brother for a few days, and you missed us so much!"

"Is my brother's injury okay?"

The young man with a square face is Qu Heng, the son of Shouhou.

He kept looking at the back of Duan Chun's head and asked in surprise.

"It's been fine for a long time."

"You two haven't come to see me for several days."

"What about the other two?"

Duan Chun asked curiously.

"Don't mention it, big brother."

"After you were injured that night, my mother was scared to death when she heard the news."

"She drove me out of the city overnight and sent me to hide in the manor outside the city."

"She was afraid that the Duke of Changguo would find trouble with us in anger."

Wu Xian said with a pursed mouth.

"Yes, my mother also drove me out of the city to hide."

"Big brother is the only son of the general."

"If something happens to you, no one knows what the general will do?"

Qu Heng nodded quickly.

"Those two are still hiding outside the city?"

"Why did you come back today?"

Duan Chun already understood the situation.

It's not that they didn't come to find him, but they didn't dare to return to the Imperial Capital City.

If something happened to him that day, with my father's temper.

He would definitely find someone to pay for his life!

"We only found out that my elder brother had defeated Beixia Leji when my mother attended the palace banquet last night."

"I was picked up from outside the city that night."

"The other two had already been sent farther away, and they would not be back until tomorrow at least."

Qu Heng smiled.

"It's good that you're back. Come with me to take a look around today."

"I've been to Wanhua Tower of your Shouhou family before."

"Today I'll take you, the young master, to talk to them."

Duan Chun smiled.

"Wanhua Tower?"

"Why did my elder brother think of doing business with my family?"

Qu Heng was stunned.

"By the way, Xiaoxian, what kind of business does your Daihou family have in the Imperial Capital?"

Duan Chun did not answer, and looked at another guy.

"My family's business... I haven't inherited the family property yet."

"How do you know about my father's situation?"

Wu Xian shook his head.

Duan Chun understood that these two guys were the same as he was before.

They were only seventeen years old, and their father was in his prime, so the family's business didn't need the prince to worry about.

It was useless to ask them.

But these two guys might become his partners in the future.

After all, Duan Chun remembered clearly that the four friends had listened to Duan Chun since they were young.

Fighting and making trouble were all a matter of his words.

What's more, their fathers were also generals of the Cavalry Guard.

Now they are still serving under their fathers.

Duan Chun just needed such loyal subordinates, so he sent them here...

"Okay, let's go out for a walk."

"Let's go to Wanhua Tower first, then to Tianzi Pavilion."

"Let you see, I, Duan Chun, want to do big business."

Duan Chun smiled.

"Big business?"

"Brother, you are the prince of the Duke."

"You have been granted marriage by His Majesty as the son-in-law."

"You don't have to worry about money in this life."

The two asked in confusion.

"You don't know anything."

"Who would complain about having too much money?"

Duan Chun was speechless and walked through the outer courtyard with the two.

Let the housekeeper notify Yue Luo to accompany them.

After a while, another graceful woman wearing a light gauze hat came into the outer courtyard.

Qu Heng and Wu Xian's eyes were immediately wide open...

"I greet the young master."

Yue Luo and the maid bowed and saluted.

"I'll take you to see Tianzi Pavilion today."

"I plan to let you help me keep an eye on the embroidery workshop of Tianzi Pavilion in the future."

"I'll send you to Tianzi Pavilion to familiarize yourself with the environment first..."

Duan Chun smiled and nodded, and walked out of the gate with everyone.

Zhang Wu and Zhao Changlong's guards had already been waiting outside.

The two marquises were even more surprised.

Duan Chun asked the two to sit in the carriage in front, and he took Yue Luo and the maid to sit in another carriage.

The convoy started, and Duan Chun took out a stack of prepared papers from his arms.

Let Yue Luo read it carefully...
