My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

Although Shao Xun didn't know who this young eunuch was, he recognized his clothes and knew that he was someone in the imperial court. He couldn't help but be speechless in his heart: What kind of bad luck is this! Could it be that Lord Shao had caught the emperor's eye like this?

"It turns out to be Lord Shao and his wife!" The young eunuch suddenly realized, and when he looked at Shao Xun and Lin Yulan again, he couldn't help but feel a bit of inquiry and curiosity.

The palace is quite well-informed, especially when it comes to major events happening in the circle of the powerful and wealthy, usually the palace knows about them soon.

For example, Marquis Shao was well-known for his dissolute and unruly behavior, and Marquis Shao married the concubine's daughter of a fourth-rank official as his wife.

Not to mention that Lord Shao and his wife had clashed with the Crown Princess's family twice in a short period of time, and they won both times.

Concubine Yan and the second prince, also known as Prince Duan, were of course happy to publicize the matter, and everyone in the palace knew about it.

In order to achieve a better effect of stepping on the Queen and the Crown Prince, Concubine Yan's people exaggerated the matter when spreading it.

As a result, the image of Lord Shao and his wife became more and more powerful and difficult to mess with...

The young eunuch's attitude could not help but become more respectful. He smiled and said, "Shao Houye, Madam Houye, the Emperor, the Empress, the Imperial Concubine and others invite you to come over and talk. Please follow me."

Lin Yulan and Shao Xun looked up and saw a large group of people on the spacious waterside pavilion in the distance.

Great!

"Your Majesty's grace, I am flattered."

Shao Xun bowed and saluted in the direction of Emperor Yongli and his entourage. Lin Yulan stepped half a step behind him and also saluted.

Shao Xun smiled and bowed to the young eunuch again: "Thank you, eunuch. Thank you for your hard work, eunuch!"

"Oh, I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, I dare not..."

The big devil who was said to be so powerful and tough that he dared to confront the Crown Princess's family was actually so polite and courteous to him, which scared the little eunuch and he hurriedly returned the courtesy.

Shao Xun helped him up with a smile, "You're welcome, sir!"

By the way, he smoothly stuffed a purse into his hand.

The young eunuch was even more flattered and bowed repeatedly to express his politeness.

Shao Xun greeted the two guards again and handed them the purse as usual.

Anyone who comes here with experience today will carry or have their servants carry purses of varying sizes. The palace maids, eunuchs, and guards on duty here will all be trying their best to collect a few more purses.

An experienced person can roughly know the amount in his mind by just squeezing his purse.

Lord Shao might not have a good reputation in other aspects, but he is definitely not stingy. Lord Shao has always been very generous.

When the young eunuch and the two guards pinched their purses, they felt very fond of Lord Shao and were polite to him with smiles on their faces.

Everyone carries the sedan chair.

Someone wanted to come over to help row the boat, but Shao Xun refused.

His wife is here, and there is half a boat full of lotus flowers. Don't let people step on them. He can row the boat himself.

"My Lord, you are very capable!"

Considering the deep pockets, this is something that cannot but be admired.

As the boat sailed away, Lin Yulan turned around to look at the groups of koi that were still gathered together and had not yet dispersed, feeling quite regretful.

The almond cake hasn't been fed yet.

Shao Xun glanced at her and smiled at her with lively eyes, "Next time, I'll take you somewhere else to play."

Lin Yulan smiled sweetly and nodded slightly.

The boat docked, and Lin Yulan looked at the half boat full of lotus flowers with some confusion.

These flowers were carefully selected by her, and picked by the Marquis for her one by one. It would be a pity not to take them away.

Shao Xun bent down and tidied up the lotus flowers, then picked them all up. "Father-in-law, can you ask someone to help take care of these lotus flowers? Forget it!"

These were his wife's things, and he didn't want to give them to anyone else.

But they couldn't keep the emperor waiting for too long, so Concubine Yan ordered someone to come out and tell him that Shao Xun simply carried the big bunch of lotus flowers and went to see the emperor with Lin Yulan.

Eunuch Zhou and the two imperial guards were stunned...

Lin Yulan: “…”

Forget it, the Marquis is just like that, I don’t think the Emperor will bother with him.

Lord Shao was holding a large bunch of lotus flowers, and beside him was his graceful and elegant wife. The man was tall and handsome with a well-proportioned figure, while the woman was beautiful and gentle, with a graceful figure. The pink, rose, snow-white and light yellow lotus flowers were beautiful and charming, bringing out a faint and refreshing fragrance.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

The queen was used to being dignified and well-behaved. She frowned and said, "Why is the Marquis of Wuwei still holding so many lotus flowers when he comes to see you? It's really rude. Put them down quickly."

Imperial Concubine Yan quickly glanced at the Emperor and found that he did not show any sign of being upset. Instead, he seemed to be in high spirits. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. Today, the Emperor and his subjects are having fun together, and he specifically asked everyone not to be restrained. I think this is fine. Besides, the flowers are so beautiful, it really makes people's eyes bright. Your Majesty, don't you agree?"

In Hibiscus Garden, various flowers and trees compete for beauty, and the emperor and his ministers are enjoying themselves together. Many people are picking and breaking flowers, so the emperor is not so stingy as to care about this.

Emperor Wanli nodded and said with a smile: "This is the first time I have seen the lotus so closely. It is really in full bloom. You are the Marquis Wuwei of the Shao family. You are indeed young and look like your father."

The Emperor Wanli was moved, and could not help but think of a year when the lotus flowers were in full bloom. The Marquis of Wuwei won a victory in battle and came to Beijing with his wife to report to the emperor. The emperor was very pleased and granted him lunch in the imperial garden. He also praised the beautiful scenery in the imperial garden.

"Especially the lotus flowers are in great bloom, which I have never seen in the North."

The former Marquis of Wuwei died young due to injuries that shortened his lifespan. His wife had been with him in guarding the northern border for many years and was overworked. She also died of grief soon after. He and his wife had only this one child, who was handsome but useless.

Emperor Wanli was nostalgic for his old ministers, and when he looked at Shao Xun again, he felt a bit disappointed in him.

Shao Xun didn't notice so much. After hearing what Emperor Wanli said, he politely replied, "It's me. Others also say that I look like my father. I didn't expect that the emperor still remembers my father."

Seeing that he responded appropriately and was not as he was rumored to be, Emperor Wanli had a better impression of him and said with a smile, "Your father was a loyal minister of the country, I naturally remember that. Where are you working now?"

Shao Xun paused.

This is awkward.

Shao Xun stammered: "Your Majesty, I am enjoying my life at home..."

"Enjoy your life at home?" Emperor Wanli was so angry that he laughed, "Listen to what you are saying. I haven't enjoyed my life yet, but you are already enjoying it."

Imperial Concubine Yan smiled softly and said, "Your Majesty is right. Marquis Wuwei is the descendant of a loyal minister, and he is at the right age to serve the country and be loyal to the emperor. Your Majesty should give him a job to gain experience, which will not bring disgrace to the reputation of Marquis Wuwei's lineage."
