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

Chapter 132 Planting Flowers and Beans

Huaying, who was walking behind her second brother, breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Shen Nanxing whispered, "Little sister, I've noticed that your personality has changed a lot since you came home. Before, you always loved to compete and argue about winning or losing, but now you are so low-key."

Huaying chuckled and said, "Everyone has been young and energetic. After going through so much, if your temper is still the same as before, it would be a waste."

Shen Nanxing nodded thoughtfully, and continued to probe curiously, "Then what you want to do most now is to get married, right?"

Huaying laughed and asked, "Is the thing you want to do most to marry your second sister-in-law?"

Huaying looked at the tall palace walls and said seriously, "I like to grow flowers and beans, open a small shop and live a leisurely life."

Shen Nanxing looked at her younger sister speechlessly, "Isn't our family's money enough for you to squander? Look how wronged you are. Besides, when you get married, the shops in your dowry alone will be enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life. Your idea is really petty."

Huaying laughed after hearing this, "Then wouldn't it be quite comfortable for you, second brother, to stay in the martial arts field and at home for the rest of your life?"

Shen Nanxing tapped her head gently and said, "I am determined to become a great general. Who would be willing to stay at home all my life?"

Huaying felt pain, but not willing to be outdone, she hit him hard on the forehead and said with a smile, "Don't you understand very well that everyone has their own aspirations?" Shen Nanxing was suddenly speechless.

Mother Shen, who was walking in front, heard the noise behind them and quickly turned back to remind them, "You two, stop fooling around. This is not the mansion. If someone sees us, they will definitely say that there are no rules in our family." The two of them immediately stopped laughing and continued walking behind their parents and brother with a serious face.

After arriving at the banquet pavilion, Emperor Wu was already sitting in the main seat. Huaying followed her parents to begin a new round of audience etiquette, which was even more complicated and solemn than before.

When Emperor Wu saw that everyone had gathered, he led his ministers to the altar, burned incense and offered wine to the gods of heaven and earth, and recited sacrificial texts, praying for peace and prosperity in the country and good weather.

In this solemn atmosphere, Huaying also made a wish in her heart, "May my friends in this world be healthy and happy."

Finally, they watched the singing and dancing performances and had a banquet. Everyone watched the singing and dancing and tasted the delicious food. Emperor Wu observed everyone. When he saw that Prince Yan's eyes frequently fell on the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister opposite, he had an idea. He remembered that the King of Yan had mentioned the marriage in a letter some time ago, and he immediately came up with a plan.

Hua Ying looked at the dancing woman in the field, but her thoughts had already drifted away. She fiddled with the teacup in her hand boredly, wondering in her heart: "Today is such an important day, why don't the princess and Fu Shiyan, who like to show off, come to participate?"

At this moment, her second brother suddenly bumped into her lightly, which quickly brought Huaying back to her senses. Seeing the people around her standing up one after another, she quickly followed suit and shouted with everyone, "Long live the Emperor Wu!" Then, as everyone silently watched the Emperor Wu leave, Huaying realized that the banquet was over.

She followed her family to the carriage at the palace gate, only to find that her father had not followed. She curiously asked her mother, "Mom, isn't Dad going home with us?"

The mother replied with a smile: "You, the Emperor Wu kept your father at the end of the banquet, where did your little ears go?" Hearing her mother say this, Huaying smiled a little embarrassedly.

At the same time, in the imperial study, Emperor Wu, wearing a black dragon robe, was sitting in front of the desk, turning the jade ring on his left thumb with his right hand, staring sharply at Prime Minister Shen who was standing below, and asked slowly, "Is the daughter of Lord Shen married?"

Prime Minister Shen's heart tightened, and he quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I dare not lie. Since my daughter came home, her health has been very poor and she has been soaking in medicine jars all day long. Moreover, she is still young and has never been married. Madam has turned her hair white for her."

Emperor Wu frowned slightly, then slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip and continued, "Oh? There is this matter? Well, when you go home, take Doctor Pei with you to have your daughter checked. As parents, we really can't bear to see our children get sick."

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister was startled and hurriedly bowed and responded respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu waved his hand and said, "I am also tired today, you can go down." Then he said to Eunuch Li beside him, "Let Doctor Pei accompany the Prime Minister back together."
