However, she still underestimated Xiao Yanshan's ability.

After being interrupted by the palace servants, the two did not do anything else. The imperial teacher was still waiting outside. The palace gate was locked on time, so Mingnan left first.

Missing someone is already painful enough, and meeting them but failing to accomplish anything is like adding fuel to the fire.

But as autumn approaches, things happen one after another.

The prince had made great contributions in disaster relief and had shown his potential. The emperor wanted to train him and gave him many tasks, and he became busy all of a sudden.

As if he wanted to make up for all the leisure time he had in the past, he went out early and came back late every day, busy like a top.

Not to mention meeting Mingnan, it was even difficult to say a word to him, and he could only express his feelings through letters.

Mingnan had nothing to do at home and received a letter almost every three days.

Sometimes I’ll write a poem to suit the occasion, and sometimes I’ll just write two words: “Be well.”

Who is safe?

I don’t know, maybe both are good.

Mingnan looked at this with a dilemma, and had to find something to say even if he had nothing to say. This must be the prince's attitude. Maybe he was afraid that his position would become unstable again if he didn't see him for a few days?

Just two words, it seems there is no need to reply.

But Mingnan would still get up from the couch, walk to the desk in slippers, spread paper and grind ink, and reply with a "Tongan".

The same is true today.

The golden sun of the autumn afternoon shone halfway through the window, illuminating her gold-woven outer garment with a brilliant glow.

She rolled up her sleeves, wrote these two words, tilted her head to look at them, and hesitated whether to write anything else.

Just then the wind came in through the window, bringing her a sweet fragrance.

The golden osmanthus fell and landed on the word "good".

Mingnan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he smiled. He simply put this lovely surprise between the letter paper and put it into the envelope.

She took the envelope and walked to the window and looked out. The branches of golden osmanthus were shining brightly, brighter than the daylight at that moment.

There is no place for lovesickness to go, so I give you a branch of autumn.

She picked a bunch of osmanthus flowers and put them in the envelope. After sealing it, she handed it to the messenger and said with a smile, "Go back and tell your Highness that it's best to open it when you're lying in bed, and you can close your eyes when you open it."

The messenger looked confused, but still conveyed the message to the prince truthfully.

The prince didn't know what Mingnan was keeping in suspense.

He walked to the couch and lay down, raised the envelope and opened it gently. The moment he closed his eyes, something fell into his arms, carrying the sweet smell of sunshine.

He opened his eyes in surprise, and looked down, seeing scattered small yellow flowers falling on his thin black shirt.

The color contrast is extremely sharp.

He turned over and sat up in joy, unable to bear to brush them away, and let the fallen petals spill onto the couch.

He took out the letter paper and slowly unfolded it, and found a sweet-scented osmanthus flower sandwiched in the paper, with only two words "fellow enthusiasts" on it.

But this little bit of ingenuity was enough to surprise him.

He stroked the words on the letter excitedly and couldn't help putting the small osmanthus flower into his mouth.

There was a hint of bitterness in the sweetness, but he couldn't stop laughing.

He couldn't sit still and stood up suddenly. He wanted to run to her immediately and tell her that he saw the letter and the flowers were also sweet.

He...missed her very much.

But looking at the pile of unfinished memorials on the desk.

His eyes dimmed again.

The marriage proposal process needs to be accelerated.

The prince picked up the osmanthus flowers on the couch bit by bit, put them in a small celadon dish and placed them on his desk.

Without anyone to add to the fragrance of women's sleeves, the scent of flowers can only be used as comfort.

……

But this busyness lasted until winter, and in winter we had to start preparing for the New Year, so we couldn't free up time for the time being.

I finally waited until spring came and flowers bloomed.

The prince finally gave up and said to the emperor bluntly: "Father, you can't let me do all these jobs. I think my brothers also need experience."

The emperor was leisurely sipping his tea and looked at him curiously: "What are you doing?"

"I have to go and take care of my lifelong affairs."

emperor:"???"

He put down his teacup in surprise and looked him up and down, "I thought you had already dealt with the person, but it turns out that I just thought so?"

Prince: "..."

He tightened his hands hidden in his sleeves and smiled, "Father, do you think that I am busy from morning till night, sitting with you every day, how can I have time?"

The emperor, who just wanted to be lazy, touched his nose guiltily and said, "Why didn't you just say so earlier? I would have granted you marriages, wouldn't that be enough? I've gone through so much trouble. If you had just asked earlier, I would have a daughter-in-law by now."

The prince hurriedly said, "Don't - don't grant me the marriage for now. I want to formally tell her. Once she agrees, I will ask you to grant me the marriage."

"Why? Can she refuse you?" The emperor frowned.

The prince said sternly, "Marriage is a matter between me and her, and we can't be careless. We love each other, and your marriage is the icing on the cake. But if you directly grant the marriage before our relationship is clear, it will be a bit oppressive. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and we shouldn't leave any regrets or grudges."

If he had said this under normal circumstances, the emperor might have laughed at him for being too naive.

But he had just dreamed of the late queen a few days ago, and of their loving past. After hearing what the prince said, he was filled with emotion.

"Well, since you have such a heart, how can I, as your father, not help you? I will share some of the work you have with others, you can do it yourself."

The prince happily cupped his hands: "Thank you, father, for your help!"

……

It is springtime in March and the flowers in the villa are in bloom.

The prince sent Mingnan an invitation, inviting her to come and appreciate the flowers.

Mingnan readily agreed.

Before she left, the Imperial Master stood in the corridor with his arms folded, looking at her, and said faintly, "If you leave today, will you be able to come back? Will you bring me a brother-in-law?"

Mingnan laughed, "Brother, you are asking questions even though you already know the answer."

"Heh." The Imperial Master couldn't control his sarcasm. He looked her up and down. "The flowers I carefully raised are about to be taken away by the dogs outside. Can't I ask? I should have joined the Beggars' Sect earlier."

"What are you going to do in the Beggars' Sect?" Mingnan was puzzled.

The Imperial Master smiled and said, "Learn the dog-beating stick technique."

Mingnan: "..."

"Okay, it's a great day, don't spoil the fun." Yan Xueyi came over from the corridor with a smile.

The Imperial Master immediately stood up straight and turned to look at her.

I couldn't take my eyes off it.

Yan Xueyi was wearing a light pink wide-sleeved dress today. When she walked, the sleeves fluttered like light clouds, and the laces swayed like water waves, making her look like a spring peach on a branch. She looked very pleasing to the eye.

"Are you going out too?" The Imperial Master frowned.

Wouldn't that mean we have to recruit a group of dogs?

Sure enough, his biggest mistake was not learning how to use the dog-beating stick!

Mingnan and Yan Xueyi looked at each other, and Yan Xueyi smiled, "Yes, with you."

"I?"

The Imperial Master was stunned halfway through biting his teeth, "With me?"

"Yes, is the Imperial Master free? I want to go out for a walk."

The Imperial Master's eyes lit up immediately, "No, yes... No, yes, yes."

Mingnan clicked his tongue, "Brother, look at how worthless you are."

The Imperial Master glared at her and said, "Hurry up and leave, or the Crown Prince will come to me and ask for me soon."

Mingnan: "..."

Haha, now you don’t think the prince is a dog anymore.
