My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

Chapter 138 Why is it the eldest prince?

In the blink of an eye, another year of peach blossoms has arrived.

Huaying stood on the river bank, looking at a few middle-aged men working in the wheat fields in the distance.

Qinghe came up from behind and handed her the kettle. Huaying took the kettle but did not open it. "I didn't expect that wheat is growing so well on this river beach even though crops have not been grown for many years!"

Qinghe nodded, "Yes, the wheat is growing really well, we will definitely have a bumper harvest this year!"

Huaying frowned slightly, as if she had thought of something.

On the way back, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Qinghe's voice came from outside the curtain, "Miss, it's the princess's carriage that's blocking the way."

Every time Huaying went to the river beach, she would drive a carriage without the family crest to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Huaying lifted the curtain to take a look at the luxurious carriage parked across the street. "Move to the inside and make way for them."

"Yes." The carriage started slowly after the luxurious carriage slowly passed by. A peach branch passed by the roof of the carriage, and pink peach blossoms fell down, and a few fell into the carriage.

Huaying picked up the peach blossoms. The last time the flowers bloomed, she was still in Taohua Town and was worried about her livelihood with Fu Shiyan....

In the past few months, Fu Shiyan often wrote to her and sometimes visited her. He always brought some interesting books and sometimes gave some rare and valuable items to his parents and brothers. Even his eldest brother said that Fu Shiyan did much better than he did to the Bai family.

Apart from this, Fu Shiyan spent most of his time in the academy.

I have to say that Fu Shiyan is really talented and hardworking in his studies.

Huaying had been to his study several times, and any book from the bookcases on the three walls would have his notes on it.

Since the reform of the imperial examination system, examinations have become more frequent, and are held every one or two months.

In the provincial examination last month, Fu Shiyan won the title of Jieyuan. After passing the provincial examination, one becomes a candidate, is included in the imperial register, and is considered to have entered the "scholar" class.

Next, he will have to take part in the joint examination and the palace examination. Fortunately, the Fu family is in the capital. If they were still in Taohua Town, they would probably have to travel frequently between the two places.

The carriage stopped steadily at the gate of the mansion, and Huaying got off lightly. As soon as she stood firm, she saw her father and elder brother returning from the court.

When Shen Nanting saw Huaying, a smile appeared on his face and he waved to her affectionately: "Little sister, come here quickly." The three of them walked into the mansion chatting and laughing.

Shen Nanting turned to look at Huaying, "You will be having your coming-of-age ceremony next month. Do you have anything you particularly want? Tell me, and I will fulfill your wish."

"Thank you, brother. I just hope that our family can continue to live happily like this." Huaying said this sincerely. She had never felt the warmth of a family in modern times, and the family affection now is precious to her.

Hearing this, a gentle smile appeared on his father's face. He suddenly remembered something and waved to Huaying. "Ying'er, yesterday Fu Erlang sent you a storybook. It's in the study. Come with me to get it."

Huaying nodded and followed her father and brother into the study.

After she picked up the script and prepared to leave, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a memorial about selecting a crown prince.

Curious, she couldn't help but approach her eldest brother and asked in a low voice, "Brother, which prince does our Shen family support?"

Shen Nanting's eyes changed slightly when he heard this. He quickly glanced at his father and responded softly, "Father is an old minister of the previous dynasty. He has been able to stay until now because of his loyalty and neutrality. But secretly, father chose to support the eldest prince."

"Why the eldest prince?"
