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

Shen Nanxing put away his sword, took the towel handed over by the maid, wiped the sweat on his forehead as he walked, and looked at Huaying with a smile, "Little sister, you still want to farm, can your little arms and legs do it?"

Huaying glanced at him, raised her chin slightly, and said deliberately, "Don't be afraid, my second brother is smart and strong, and he will definitely help me."

After hearing what her younger sister said, Shen Nanxing proudly threw the sweat towel to the maid. The proud look on her face was beyond words. It felt good to be recognized by the most arrogant younger sister in the family.

He walked up to her and said, "Of course you can tell me when you encounter any difficulties."

Lord Shen looked at the pair of lively children in front of him with a look of relief on his face.

Her loving gaze fell on her daughter, eyes full of concern.

Next year, Ning'er will have her coming-of-age ceremony, and will also be of marriageable age.

Some time ago, the Queen Mother mentioned this matter and said that he should make plans for his daughter's lifelong affairs.

In a few days, the palace will hold the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, an important time for each family to observe each other's children! Thinking of this, Lord Shen's mood became a little complicated.

Shen Nanxing teased Huaying with his sword. Huaying was unable to resist his sword and ran to her father, asking for help, "Father, look at my second brother."

Father Shen said to Nanxing, "Nanxing, don't be naughty and hurt your sister again...

On the second floor of Zuijiangyue in Taohua Town, in the study, Fu Yi was respectfully reporting to Fu Shiyan about the eldest master's recent situation.

Fu Shiyan pondered for a while and said, "General Su Mu was able to help my brother avoid the people under the eldest prince. He is indeed very smart."

Fu Yi echoed: "The eldest son is in a dilemma at the moment. It is also an expedient measure to avoid the meeting of the princes for the time being."

"Write back to Fu Ya and Fu Lei, and tell them to protect Big Brother's safety. Let Big Brother wait for a while, and then meet with the First Prince's people."

Fu Yi nodded, and then couldn't help asking: "Master, do you think the eldest prince has a chance of winning?"

Fu Shiyan turned and walked to the window, overlooking the people coming and going on the street, and said calmly: "If you don't win, you will die. If it were you, would you want to win?"

After the current emperor ascended the throne, he only kept King Wu as his brother and conferred him the title of King Rui.

In the eyes of the public, Prince Rui is just an idle prince who neither attends the court nor cares about worldly affairs. Even his two children have chosen to go into business...

Of course, his sons were fighting for the position of crown prince, so how could they not want to win...

It was still a bit hot at the end of July, and a sudden rain brought some coolness, as if to sweep away the last bit of summer heat.

Qinghe, holding an oil-paper umbrella, hurried to the second floor of Molan Pavilion.

She walked to the door and gently folded her umbrella. Raindrops slid down the tip of the umbrella and splashed onto the ground drop by drop.

She gently pushed the door open, bowed to Huaying who was concentrating on practicing calligraphy, and said softly, "Miss, just now there was a message from Madam Li in Madam's room, saying that Madam wants to discuss something with you, and asks you to go to Chunhua Courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Huaying slowly put down the brush in her hand and picked up the words she had just written to look at them carefully.

She was always dissatisfied with the stroke of the character "安", and no matter how hard she tried she couldn't achieve the desired effect.

Seeing that the young lady had put down her paper and pen, Qinghe hurriedly brought a basin of clean water for her to wash her hands.

After Huaying washed her hands, she said, "Take the sachet I prepared for mother and go."

Qinghe agreed and held up the oil-paper umbrella again to shelter Huaying from the rain.

The master and servant came to Chunhuayuan. Huaying bowed to her mother. Her mother smiled with satisfaction as she looked at her polite daughter.

After Huaying sat down, she asked the nanny to bring her a bowl of Tremella soup.

Then she spoke slowly and gently, "Ning'er, the annual Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. That night, the officials invited by the court will bring their families to the palace to celebrate the festival with the Queen Mother and the Emperor. The tailor that your mother hired for you a few days ago has arrived. Let her come in and measure your size later."

After hearing this, Huaying bowed and answered yes. She knew in her heart that this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was not just a family dinner.

Her mother noticed Huaying's worry and comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry, it's just an ordinary family dinner. You just need to behave gracefully as usual."

Huaying nodded. At this time, a beautiful middle-aged woman came in. After greeting Madam Huaying, she began to measure her size. Amid the tailor's praises, Huaying had no choice but to cooperate with her movements...

In the following time, Huaying stayed in Molan Pavilion, practicing calligraphy, reading, painting and learning piano every day.

Preparing for the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Occasionally I would go for a stroll along Chang'an Avenue, quietly waiting for the approval of the land in the west of the city.

Huaying stood on the streets of the capital, looking at those exquisite and gorgeous courtyards and shops, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in her heart. She wondered how Zuijiangyue's business was going...

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is already the golden autumn of August.

At this time, the palace maids were busy making final preparations for the grand Mid-Autumn Festival banquet tonight. The head aunt carefully confirmed the various procedures of the banquet over and over again, fearing that any mistakes would occur on this important festival.

As night fell, beautifully decorated and luxurious carriages slowly drove towards the palace gate from all directions.

The officials got off the carriages with their families, exchanged pleasantries and praised each other's children. The atmosphere was harmonious and full of laughter.

No matter how lively the young men and women were at home, the moment they got off the carriage, they restrained their usual tempers and bowed to their elders properly, creating a lively atmosphere for a while.

Huaying, who got off the car with her mother, was wearing a light blue palace dress, looking as fresh and refined as a fairy.

Her jet-black and shiny hair fell like a waterfall to her slender waist. She had her hair done in a bun on her head, which was gently tied up. A delicate, emerald green hairpin was inserted in her hair, which made her face even more beautiful.

Her face was lightly made up and she smiled slightly, just like the peach blossoms blooming in spring, gentle and elegant.

When the officials saw the Left Prime Minister, they surrounded him and greeted him.

However, Huaying's gaze fell on a woman not far away.

The woman was wearing a lavender palace dress, her skin was whiter than snow, and her delicate oval face was lightly powdered, making her look even more charming and beautiful, but there was a hint of sadness in her beautiful eyes.

The woman noticed Huaying's gaze and bowed to her from a distance. Seeing this, Huaying lowered her eyes and bowed back.

At this moment, the eunuch's high-pitched voice came from the door: "Prince Rui has arrived!"

Upon hearing the voice, everyone stopped talking and waited for King Rui to get off the carriage.

Huaying followed the crowd and turned to look at the gorgeous carriage, only to see a slightly fat, kind-looking middle-aged man slowly getting off the carriage. For a moment, everyone present saluted him.

The young men and ladies waiting here were also waiting to pay their respects to the young prince and princess in the carriage.

Huaying also looked at the carriage again along with the crowd, and saw two acquaintances, Zimo and Zijin, whom she met in Taohua Town, getting off the carriage one after another. She was a little dazed for a moment.
