Chapter 51 The Princess’s Beauty Agent (7) (1/2)

Chapter 51 The Princess’s Beauty Agent (7) (1/2)

No matter how much Shen Huan is a middle school boy who loves whimsical ideas, in the eyes of many people in the capital who are paying attention to Nancheng, this ordinary prince who was once completely ignored suddenly begins to stand out.

Expelling the plague, controlling the victims, and reducing the death toll to a minimum. At the same time, it was completely different from other officials who were sent out to deal with similar incidents. Only when they arrived at the place did they realize that something was wrong, there was a shortage of funds distributed by the superiors, and they hurriedly reported. Go to the court and ask for money.

Just like that, quietly and quickly, the matter in Nancheng was settled.

When the Imperial City decided to divert water from the Yanjiang River to Nancheng, it quickly made the decision to resettle the entire city.

The most puzzling thing is that the time is so urgent. Although many people have died, the entire city needs to be resettled. It has not been two days since the imperial edict was issued, but the fifth prince has actually completely dealt with it. .

The four princes who stayed in the capital, waiting to see the joke of the youngest brother, no longer looked as relaxed as before. They did not think about the fact that the youngest brother had been hiding his stupidity before, but they clearly realized that the fifth prince was surrounded by , there is definitely one more expert.

When Shen Huan returned safely with a much calmer expression in less than a month, he, who was used to being treated as an invisible person, was suddenly overwhelmed by the huge enthusiasm of the people around him.

It seemed that all of a sudden, he, the fifth prince, became the best and most trustworthy lord in everyone's eyes.

Although this month he strictly followed the letter written by the gentleman, worked hard to eat and live with the soldiers, and personally visited the victims, Shen Huan lost some of his youthful innocence and forcibly pretended to be an adult, and his thoughts gradually matured. .

But essentially, he is still the middle school boy.

How could he be unhappy when so many people discovered his domineering aura that he had hidden for more than ten years?

Especially when he was doing disaster relief, one second he was overwhelmed by the lack of herbs for disaster relief, and the next second a businessman took the initiative to send herbals, even though he repeatedly expressed that when he came, the owner of the Zhao family couldn't bear to see them. The victims were pitiful and came specially to deliver medicine, but the fifth prince couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: "Am I really a king? I will get what I lack."

But now that he has returned to Beijing, he has indeed attracted many people to join him because of his domineering aura.

Although he has not yet left the palace to build a mansion, the fifth prince happily bought a courtyard in the capital to accommodate the counselors who came to seek refuge with him. He planned to move them all in after the palace was opened.

Yes, he was finally no longer the poorest prince. This time he made great contributions to quelling the disaster. His father rewarded him with ten thousand taels of gold, which was more than enough to buy a house.

The house, the counselor, everyone praised him, even his sister hugged him happily with tears in her eyes and sighed, "An'er has grown up." Shen Hu An was so proud that he walked with wind in his eyes.

Then, when he went out for a routine inspection of his small house, he received a message from a flying pigeon.

To be honest, the capital is full of dignitaries and relatives of the emperor. If you drop a brick casually, you might be able to kill a crippled emperor. And as we all know, everyone uses flying pigeons to send messages.

Therefore, almost every official who is capable or wants to do something has a pigeonhouse in his home.

The pigeons in the capital are definitely far superior to the pigeons in all the cities in this dynasty.

If you shoot down any one, you may see the correspondence between a certain minister and a certain official.

Of course, no one would do such a boring thing. After all, ancient people who were accustomed to being silent were unwilling to get into trouble.

Therefore, the fifth prince was a little stunned when he received a flying pigeon despite not having any pigeons in his mansion.

His loyal and good subordinate was still worried and looked at the master holding the dove and said, "Your Highness, could it be that it flew to the wrong place?"

Who would send a message using a pigeon that flies to the wrong place?

That's not a message passed by a flying pigeon, that's a message sent by a scammer.

Shen Huan thought for a few minutes with his spinning brain, and finally resolutely opened the bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg.

After unfolding the paper inside and seeing familiar handwriting, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It belongs to the unknown gentleman.

During this period, Shen Huanke read the two letters over and over several times because of the intricate details written on them. Even though he could now memorize the contents of the letters, he still kept the two letters well.

This is proof that he attracts wise men, and His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is very flattered.

At this moment, he received another letter from Mr. Shen Guangguang. His good mood these days suddenly became better. After dismissing his subordinates, he thought, "Hey, hey, I want to secretly see how Mr. wants to express his surrender to me." Shen Huan hid in the room and started reading the letter.

Then he was criticized from head to toe by the person who wrote the letter, using a tone that was gentle and devoid of any profanity or rebuke, but could make people feel ashamed and want to hit a wall.

The content is very obscure, but the general meaning is as follows

Your Highness, do you think you have done a great job and that’s why so many people have come to join you?

No, of the thirty people you raise in the house, twenty-five are spies from other families. Three of the remaining five just want to eat and wait to die. The only two or two are considered normal because you are not here. I'm ready to leave.

Your Majesty, do you think that His Majesty gave you ten thousand taels of gold because he affirmed your victory and his love for you?

You are overthinking. Last time the eldest prince was ordered to go to Yancheng to check for flooding, he just wandered around and was rewarded with 20,000 gold coins and a concubine without even getting close to the Yanjiang River.

Your Highness, do you think everyone is bragging about you because they only love you and respect you?

Do you need me to help you calculate how many percent of those who flatter you are from the eldest prince, and how many percent are from the second, third, and fourth princes?

If I have listed these things and you still insist that they are all sincere compliments, then I can only say this to Your Highness sincerely.

You are really, really awesome.

I am also sincere, and your Highness must be able to see it.

Also, these are the names of the two normal gentlemen who are about to pack up and leave. Your Highness, please don’t give up on these two remaining normal people. After all, even the house you bought was sent by the third prince. Sold to you.

The fifth prince Shen Huan read the letter in a daze.

There is nothing more cruel than a person who is extremely excited and reaches the peak of life, but suddenly someone pops out and tells you that it is all fake.

You are not the king of beasts.

Instead, he was a gorilla who had been pretending to be a tiger and was watched by many people without even realizing it.

The gentleman who helped him a lot and made him quietly feel dependent in his heart said this.

The flower of glory that was unstoppable in the heart of the middle school boy who wanted to seize the throne has withered.

He shut himself in his room for the whole afternoon.

When the guards outside thought he was reading, writing or planning important events, he just sat on the couch with his legs crossed and felt sad, even wiping a few tears from the corners of his eyes.

He finally realized how dangerous those people were in the outside world without the protection of his sister.

Shen Hu'an squeezed the letter tightly, feeling uneasy for the first time in so many days.

Will Mr. hate him and give up on him?

Without the help of his husband, how could he defeat his four brothers, sit on the throne, support his sister, and scare the prince-in-law.

By the way, scare the consort!

Shen Hu'an immediately cheered up, wiped the tears from his eyes and stood up from the couch.

After coming back, he has not seen the consort yet!

Even if, as Mr. said, everything about him now is a mirror image, at least in the eyes of others, he is still in the limelight as he has just contributed to quelling the disaster.

If you don't take advantage of this moment to scare the prince-in-law, how long will it take?

Shen Huan was resurrected with blood, carefully hid the letter that made him cry in the same place as the previous two letters, and opened the door.

"Someone, help me change my clothes."

He must be in his best condition to see the guy who is about to marry his sister.

After that, I will be down-to-earth and work conscientiously. I hope my husband will not give up on him.

Shen was furious. Hu An tried his best to calm down and opened the door wearing brand new clothes.

Find a prince-in-law.

Going right now!

Shen Huan's search for his consort went smoothly.

He had previously found out that the consort was currently serving in the Hanlin Academy and was temporarily staying at a friend's house. He was still looking for a good house to buy.

Although she was a little dissatisfied that her sister's future husband was so poor that he had to live in someone else's home, Shen Hu'an still suppressed his dissatisfaction, dressed in luxurious clothes, and came to the Zhao Mansion to ask to see Lin Shiheng.

He also made up a decent pseudonym for himself, An Wu.

Simple, crude and hidden in the city.

The servants of the Zhao family are not like the servants of the official families who have to make reservations before letting people in. After all, their family was just a merchant before. Although the young master got second place in the exam, he only became an official. Now he is not at home, and there is no one at home. A mistress took care of everything, so when she saw Shen Huan dressed luxuriously and accompanied by servants and guards, she subconsciously thought that he was a big shot and quickly took him to the courtyard where Lin Shiheng lived.

The courtyard where Lin Shiheng lives is very elegant.

There are bamboo forests and rockeries. You can tell at a glance that this is a place where scholars live.

No matter how complicated her heart was towards the future brother-in-law who was about to steal her sister, Shen Huan still looked calm and steady.

The boy saluted Lin Shiheng and said that a guest was coming. He politely stepped forward and gave a brief salute to the man who was painting with his back turned.

Shen Huan's face was cold and solemn, and his voice was low and he spoke with a steady tone.

"I'm An Wu. I heard that Mr. Lin is very talented in literature, so I came here to get acquainted with him."

He pretends to be good on the face, but he is dissatisfied in his heart.

The guests have all arrived, but they still don’t get up to salute.

Not polite!

When he looked at the figure with his back to him as a younger brother looking at his future brother-in-law and couldn't bear to look at him, Lin Shiheng turned around.

Shen Huan met his eyes immediately.

The gentle scholar, who was already smiling lightly despite the cold weather and wearing slightly heavy clothes, coughed slightly, raised his eyes, and looked at Shen Hu'an, who was looking at him in shock, and the smile on his lips became heavier.

"An Wu?"

The name rolled around in his mouth playfully, and finally a hint of understanding appeared on Qingjun's face.

He stood up slowly, his slender hands slightly touching each other, and saluted to Shen Hu'an, who was already stunned in front of him.

"I met Master An when I was in Lin Shiheng."

Shen Hu'an froze for a moment, looking at the jade-like face in front of him, as if he was still in a dream.

"No, no courtesy."

"Thank you."

Lin Shiheng didn't refuse. After he said no courtesy, Shi Shiran stood up. The contented look on his face was the real counselor Shen Huan had imagined in his mind who was calm and calm.

The husband is indeed what he thought, but why did the husband become the consort?

Waiting until he sat on the stone bench in a daze, watching Lin Shiheng, who was also sitting opposite, pouring tea for himself with a slight smile and his long, white, jade-like hands, Shen Huan felt a huge feeling in his heart. sense of unreality.

The people around him had just retreated after the two met, so there were only two people in the small courtyard at the moment.

"Since His Highness was able to find this place, he must have read the letter that the flying pigeon brought there."

When Shen Huan was at a loss as his mind was full of "Who am I and where am I? Is the person in front of me really my future brother-in-law?", it was Lin Shiheng who finally handed him the steps first.

Sure enough, it's him!

The last feeling of unreality in Shen Huan's heart was completely broken.

He did not answer Lin Shiheng's question, but said with a sigh, "So Mr.... is Mr."

"nature."

The scholar in Tsing Yi easily understood what he meant. He was wearing thick but not bloated clothes, with a pale face. He coughed softly a few times, and his tone of voice was still gentle, "We said goodbye to the capital that day. It was my negligence and I forgot to do anything." Introduction, if you miss that time, it will be hard to make up for it later.”

On the one hand, he wanted to win over the close gentleman, and on the other hand, he wanted to pretend to be dignified so that his sister would have a high status. Shen Huan really didn't know how to handle the relationship. After weighing it in his mind for a long time, he finally had no choice but to do it. Baba responded.

"Ah, really."

But when he looked at it, his sister's future husband seemed to be in bad health.

After Shen Hu'an worried for a few minutes, "I don't know what kind of illness it is that the prince-in-law is tortured so much that it doesn't look like he will live forever", he suddenly thought of something.

His expression became serious, and the shaky self-confidence that had been hit by the previous letter emerged again.

He just stood up, with a serious expression and a hint of expectation, and solemnly gave a big salute to Lin Shiheng, who was looking at him indifferently.

"I haven't thanked you sir for teaching me how to deal with things in Nancheng before. I just don't know why you helped me?"

The scholar in Tsing Yi slowly stood up and returned the greeting, and replied without any hesitation, "Of course it's because the eldest princess is the sister of His Highness."

"Your Highness, don't worry. In the future, I will help you to be happy."

Shen Hu, who was still quietly expecting "Mr. is attracted by my domineering aura", settled down, his face still normal.

His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince finally realized that he had no domineering spirit at all. Even the gentleman in front of him who seemed to be able to pinch and be considered omnipotent only helped him because of his sister.

I should be happy, but why, there is a touch of melancholy in my heart.

No, no, it's not melancholy.

There was a clicking sound in Zhong Er's little heart.

It broke.

When the usually mediocre fifth prince suddenly rose up in the capital, the news that Lin Shiheng had become a prostitute and was given a marriage to a princess finally spread to his distant hometown.

And because he used the usual way of transmitting messages, the local officials had to know the good news first. If he only won the lottery, he would just send someone to congratulate him. After all, these rankings sounded high, but There is an exam every three years, and there is a beauty test every three years. Officials are not very interested in these.

But along with the news that Lin Shiheng had succeeded in spying on Hwarang and Princess Shang, there was also the news that His Highness the Fifth Prince had been in the limelight recently.

The fifth prince and the eldest princess were born from the same mother. Although he was silent and invisible before, looking at the current situation, no one can say whether he can take further steps in the future.

Most of the people who had been hanging out in the audience for a long time were old people. After much thought, in order to form a good relationship with the Prince Consort and the fifth prince behind him, they sent people to the Lin family to congratulate him with gongs and drums.

The Lin family is a very ordinary family, and the village they live in is also very ordinary. None of them are merchants. In normal days, they go to the fields to work and take care of their children. Even in their rare free time, they have to do some embroidery work to feel at ease.

Such a peaceful little village was extremely lively on this day.

The last time it was so lively was when Lin Shiheng passed the examination, but it didn't take long before everyone was happy before he became ill. In order not to delay him from continuing to take the exam, the family members tried their best not to make any noise to him, no matter how happy they were. .

But this time, it was Lin Shiheng who passed the exam!

It is a little difficult for a group of ordinary people to understand the awesome-sounding name Tanhualang. After all, the common stories and plays they are familiar with include only the number one scholar, but when the people from the yamen are converted into Mr. Lin, the third in the exam. After the news that he was now an official in the Hanlin Academy, and was fortunate enough to be married to a princess by the emperor and become the consort, the entire Lin family village was overjoyed.

After all, this is a dynasty where one person can ascend to heaven. Even if Lin Shiheng becomes an official, it is impossible to give them a salary, but if it is revealed that there is an official in their village, as long as it is not a matter of life and death, others will not bully them.

Compared to the villagers who wanted to express their congratulations excitedly but only dared to stand cautiously outside and watch the fun because ordinary people were naturally afraid of government officials, the Lin family was also overjoyed.

Compared to the younger generation who only care about happiness, Grandpa Lin is obviously a little more knowledgeable, and he also knows how to let his family members wrap up silver coins to cheer up the government officials.

When Lin Shiheng passed the examination before, people came to announce the good news. At that time, he was not so generous.

They had to be generous. In order to build a good relationship, the local officials specially wrapped twenty taels of silver as a congratulation.

Twenty taels...

For farmers, this is definitely a huge sum of money.

What made them even more excited was that the twenty taels represented that their son was so outstanding that even the officials they had never dared to think of before were so kind to give him money.

"Congratulations, Shi Heng will be successful in the future."

"Yes, I thought that the Juren master was successful before, but I didn't expect that he would marry a princess, who is the daughter of His Majesty."

After the yamen runners left, the villagers who had been surrounding them came forward with their gifts to congratulate.

Of course, the villagers didn't have the money to give silver, but a basket of eggs and a bag of millet were the best gifts they could give.

This was to take advantage of the festive mood, and the Lin family would certainly not refuse it. Instead, they all smiled and accepted everyone who came. They were busy until the night when everyone needed to go back to bed, and only the family members were left.

Mother Lin was full of joy before, but when the villagers left, leaving only a room full of gifts and the shiny twenty taels of silver that Grandpa Lin put away, the corners of her eyes turned red, and she suddenly had the urge to cry.

She couldn't wait to ask her husband next to her, "Master, is this true?"

Father Lin was also confused by the sudden surprise at this moment, "It should be true."

"Shi Heng is so smart. Didn't the fortune teller say that he was born to be a high-ranking official?"

"Shi Heng must be a high-ranking official! He has married a princess, who is the emperor's daughter. Is there a higher official than this!"

Grandma Lin couldn't wait to speak, her face full of pride of "my grandson is so outstanding".

Father Lin, who was still immersed in joy, was pulled back a little by his mother's words and reminded, "Mom, the official only said that Shi Heng was granted marriage, but didn't say that he had married the princess. Don't say that. This is a royal family matter. If you don't do it well, you will be punished."

Grandma Lin was really scared and quickly shut up.

Grandpa Lin on the side remained silent. When no one in the family spoke, he paused for a while and said, "Shi Heng's letter hasn't come back yet. Let's live our lives as usual and see what he wrote in the letter."

Mother Lin's heart missed her son again. She looked at her father-in-law carefully, "Dad, don't we go to the capital to see Shi Heng?"

"The capital is expensive, and Shi Heng is about to become a prince consort. I don't know if the princess will dislike us farmers. Let's wait for Shi Heng to arrange it."

"Also, remember this, although Shi Heng is an official now, you are also You can't do anything outside under his name. If anyone implicates Shi Heng and causes my good grandson to suffer, I will take out the family rules. "

Grandma Lin was a little confused, "His father, does our family still have family rules?"

"Yes!"

Grandpa Lin looked around, picked up a stick, and said coldly, "Whoever dares to hold Shi Heng back, I will break his legs!"

"This is our family law!"

He is the head of the family, and the relatives have long been accustomed to obeying him. Seeing him so scary at this moment, they are a little scared in their hearts, and they quickly agreed one by one.

Seeing that the expressions in the eyes of the relatives around him really listened to him, Grandpa Lin was relieved and made up his mind that even if Shi Heng wanted them to go to Beijing to be taken care of, he would keep his family members living in his hometown.

Grandpa Lin certainly wanted to see this grandson who made him proud, but he was older and naturally had more things to consider.

If it weren't for the official who had never dared to think about it before and sent silver today, Grandpa Lin would not have thought of this.

For an official, not only his own words and deeds, but also the words and deeds of his family members must be taken seriously. Didn't you see that the last county magistrate in their county lost his official position because his son was a playboy and flirted with common women everywhere?

If flirting with common women in this county can make him lose his official position, what about in the capital...

First of all, he would not be so stupid as to think that his grandson would have the money to buy a house in the capital after becoming an official. Even if he really bought a house, it was the capital. It was said that there were royal relatives everywhere. Even if they settled down in the capital, it would be difficult for small people like them to move around in the house. Maybe they would cause trouble for their grandson. It was better to listen to his grandson's arrangements.

He said this to his family. Uncle Lin and his family were fine. They didn't expect their nephew to take them to the capital to live. However, Father and Mother Lin were disappointed and listened to Grandpa Lin's words and made plans for their son in their hearts.

Facts have proved that for a big event like marriage, the elders and relatives must be present.

The people sent by Lin Shiheng were here to pick them up.

The parents wanted to pick him up, the grandparents wanted to pick him up, and the two uncles and aunts naturally couldn't refuse to pick him up.

The grandparents were too old to ride horses and could only take sedan chairs, so the people who came to pick him up took their time to send him to the capital.

Anyway, the wedding date set by His Majesty was still a long time away, so they could always get it clear before the wedding date.

Along the way, the Lin family was inevitably curious about the servants in front of them who claimed to be bought by Lin Shiheng, and couldn't help asking about the current situation of their sons, grandchildren, and nephews.

"My lord is fine. Although he is ill, he is a good friend of Lord Zhao. Lord Zhao is kind and always sends people to send medicinal food to the mansion. When we leave the capital, my lord can already get out of bed and walk."

The servant who answered them was a very smart boy. He was very good at reading people's expressions along the way, serving them very comfortably, and from time to time he would tell some interesting things in the capital to the bored Lin family members who were slowly walking.

For example, a playboy and his friend were fooling around. They took a wine glass, stood on the second floor of a restaurant and threw it down, saying they wanted to see who would fall on it.

As a result, the flower actually fell on the head of the grandson-in-law and nephew of His Majesty’s mother’s brother.

The nephew was frail since he was a child. He was taken to his aunt since he was a child. He was watched by his aunt and uncle as he grew up. Seeing that he was hit on the head by a wine glass and fell to the ground and fainted, your majesty's family hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to come and treat him. Diagnosis and treatment, if it were not for the superb medical skills of the imperial physician, he would probably die immediately.

Father and Mother Lin, who were just busy working, just wanted to have fun and asked, "How about the one who hit people?"

"It's fate."

The servant smiled and said, "That dude is actually from the late emperor's mother's family. He is said to be related to her, so that's all."

Father Lin and Mother Lin sighed after hearing this. They all said that there were many noble people in the capital. It was indeed true. The person who hit someone and the person who was hit by someone could actually get married.

Grandpa Lin's face became darker and darker after hearing this.

As expected, the capital city was filled with noble disciples.

Can't afford to offend.

The originally ugly face suddenly turned into shock when the servant heard about his grandson's health, "My grandson is ill?"

The servant was even more surprised than he was. "Don't you know, the old man? Your Excellency has never been in good health. He often coughs and has chills. I don't know how many doctors we invited in the capital could not cure him, so we can only keep him like this."

Not in good health...

This sentence shocked the Lin family directly.

How could it be that he was not in good health? How could this be happening?

The servant said in a decent manner, "Master Dafu said that he became ill from overwork earlier. He was also tired from traveling all the way to take the exam, and it was difficult to take any heavy medicine, so he had to keep it."

"I'm sick from overwork..."

Grandma Lin panicked, "Yes, but my Shi Heng has never let him do anything at home except studying. I won't let him touch any of the farm work."

"I don't know, madam, that reading is what can really make people sick from fatigue. After all, doing work hurts the body, but reading hurts the spirit. Of course, normal reading will be fine, but maybe your Excellency..."

Having said this, the clever boy paused for a moment, as if he was thinking of words to describe "Perhaps he is a little more serious than ordinary people, so his body couldn't bear it for a while. I heard from Mr. Zhao that he was not feeling well on the way to the exam." Great, I can only stay in bed for a long time.”

He directly ignored that the so-called bedridden was due to sleeping in early in the morning. After explaining the dangers of Lin Shiheng's condition from various aspects, he returned to the topic and concluded, "You don't have to worry, the doctor said, just rest and rest." "

After speaking, as if he sensed something was wrong with the atmosphere in the car, he stood up voluntarily, "I'm going to see if there is a place to rest ahead."

In the sedan, the Lin family looked very sad, and Mother Lin even sobbed.

"It's all my fault. When I was going to take the exam, Shi Heng told me that he didn't want to go to Beijing and would do this to be a civil servant. It was me who wanted him to be a high-ranking official and asked him to study hard and not think about other things. At that time, he Are you already feeling unwell?"

Father Lin felt even more guilty. He lowered his head like a defeated dog and said in a muffled voice, "Shi Heng once told me that he was tired from studying and wanted to rest. I also reprimanded him for not knowing what to do. He felt that doing farm work was better than sitting in the house. Reading is too tiring. If I hadn't said this, Shi Heng wouldn't be exhausted. "

Mother Lin cried again, "If I knew it would harm my son's health, it wouldn't matter if he was an improper official."

Grandpa Lin often urged his grandson to study. At this moment, his expression became hesitant, and he suspected that his urging had caused his grandson's poor health.

Didn't you listen to what the person just said?

They actually call it okay to be able to get out of bed and move around.

At that time, Hengqian must have been seriously ill.

The Lin family was in a gloomy mood. Uncle Lin and those separated by one level were fine, but Lin's father and mother were filled with regret.

They gradually began to recall that their son had mentioned countless times that he did not want to take the exam anymore and wanted to live as a scholar.

My son once said that he was very tired, but they did farm work every day, but they didn't think there was anything tiring about sitting in the house and reading.

They regretted it all the way to the capital. In a small house, they met their child.

The weather in Beijing is not that cold now, and many people have long taken off their heavy clothes. Lin Shiheng, who is afraid of the cold, is still wearing a cloak. He is pale and has a gentle expression. He stands in front of the door and coughs from time to time. The boy beside him hurriedly Carefully serve and support.

He looked like he was terminally ill.

The carriage stopped, and the Lin family got out of the car one after another. Then, they saw this scene that made them sad.

Lin Shiheng, who looked pale and seemed to be about to fall down in the next moment, walked towards them with the help of the boy next to him. He was coughing and weak.

Mother Lin burst into tears on the spot and hugged her son.

"My son, if I had known that studying would ruin your body, I would have listened to you no matter what I said!"

"No matter your official position or the top prize, they are not as important as your health!"

Lin Shiheng coughed lightly and felt the last trace of the original owner in his body leaving with contentment.

With a smile on his face, he hugged his mother.

"Mom, I'm fine. I'm just a little unwell. I'll be fine after taking good care of myself."

When he said this, the Lin family didn't quite believe it.

Not to mention anything else, just his pale face makes people very disbelieving.

Although I don’t know why he is getting better and better looking even though he is obviously sick and weak.

Grandpa Lin rejected Lin Shiheng's proposal to let them settle down in the capital, and their parents would not be separated.

He would take Lin's father and mother back with him, and when he and his wife passed away, he would let his grandson take his son and daughter-in-law to the capital to take care of them. By then, he should have been an official for quite some time, and money would not be as scarce as it is now.

They stayed until Lin Shiheng and the princess got married.

Sitting on the high seat, watching the emperor's biological daughter offer tea to them, Lin's father and mother felt the reality of "my son actually married the princess".

The worry that the princess and her son would not get along well was finally relieved when they saw the two of them coming together and looking at each other with affection the next day, and then saw the princess asking the imperial physician to treat her son's illness, and they finally put their minds at ease.

In the second month after Lin Shiheng and Shen Huyang got married, the Lin family set out on the return journey.

But this time, their carriage was much more gorgeous, and there was more silver from Lin Shiheng in the box that Grandpa Lin was holding.

That was the money for the hot pot base that the shopkeeper of Zhaohe's family helped to sell.

This money can be used to buy some more shops, and the rest will be enough for the Lin family to build a house and live a comfortable life.

Shen Huyang and Lin Shiheng left Beijing to see off the Lin family. Looking at the son-in-law standing beside him and watching the carriage going away, he felt tender in his heart.

"Don't worry, son-in-law. The county magistrate of Ming County and Hu'an have already started communicating. He will take good care of his father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Lin Shiheng retracted his gaze and smiled lightly at Shen Huyang beside him.

"Your Highness, I am naturally relieved to do things."

Shen Huyang's cheeks turned slightly red by his smile. She coughed lightly, "The wind is strong, and the son-in-law is not in good health. It's better to go back as soon as possible."

The past few days of getting along can be said to be what Shen Huyang hoped for since childhood.

The son-in-law is a gentle and quiet person, full of knowledge, but he is not like an ordinary nerd who only reads books.

He would give her flowers picked from the garden, and would naturally draw her eyebrows after getting up early. The two stayed together every day, and even if they didn't talk, they felt as sweet as eating honey.

What made Shen Huyang most relieved was that even her younger brother respected the prince consort very much. Since she left the palace, Shen Hu'an frequently came to the princess's mansion to find the prince consort to learn from him. The warmth of their relationship made her smile sweetly even in her dreams.

However, what worried her was that the prince consort was not in good health. Although he didn't vomit blood, he always coughed lightly. Every time she saw the prince consort looking at her with a pale face and a smile, she wanted to find a famous doctor in the world to treat the prince consort.

However, the doctor could only diagnose that he was weak. For this reason, Shen Huyang specially invited a cook who could make medicinal food to cook for the prince consort every day. She was also afraid that he would always feel uncomfortable in the house, so she would take him out for a walk every hour and a half.

Originally, Shen Huyang was thinking about taking the prince consort to ride horses and shoot arrows. After all, winter had just ended and it was a good time for an outing. However, the prince consort was afraid of the cold, so she could only put aside this idea and planned to wait until the weather was warmer before going out with the prince consort.

Not long after returning to the mansion, Shen Hu'an arrived as promised.

Shen Huyang brought two bowls of nourishing soup for the body. Looking at the prince consort holding a book in front of him and gently telling his brother to memorize it, her heart was warm.

The prince consort was always so gentle.

She put down the soup and told her brother to study well with the prince consort and go out and not disturb them.

In the room behind him, Lin Shiheng drank a sip of soup and showed a little satisfaction. Shen Hu'an was greedy and couldn't help but pause and reach out for the soup.

A ruler was quietly placed in front of him.

Shen Hu'an looked at the ruler in front of him stiffly and silently withdrew his hand.

He continued to recite despite the bitter smell in his nose.

He will definitely work hard to become the emperor.

When he becomes emperor, let’s see who dares to hit his palm!
