The ancestral graves of the Shen family are not in the capital, but in the countryside.

They came to the capital from the countryside, and Gu Wan was the first member of the Shen family to die.

In addition, Xie Yunhui hated Gu Wan, so naturally he would not give her any glory after her death.

Gu Wan's tomb is very remote, far away from the capital. It is surrounded by wilderness for several miles without any human habitation.

Before Shen Yan returned to Beijing, no one from the Shen family came to pay homage to Gu Wan.

On the contrary, Xie Huaijing would come to pay homage to Gu Wan every year and festival.

Mr. Gu and his wife looked at Gu Wan's grave. They felt sad for a while and fainted several times.

Mrs. Gu touched the stone tablet, her eyes full of guilt and love.

Mr. Gu placed the things Gu Wan liked to eat one by one in front of the stone tablet.

"Wan'er, mother doesn't ask for your forgiveness. You wait for us underground. When Yan'er gets married and has a family, and I can rest assured, I will come to accompany you. Then mother will apologize to you properly."

Mrs. Gu stroked the stone tablet, just like she stroked Gu Wan's face when she was a child.

Mr. Gu didn't say anything. If Mrs. Gu went to accompany Gu Wan, he would definitely go with her.

Shen Yan stood nearby and watched the words and deeds of the two elders.

It seemed that she had to find a way to divert their attention and not let them remain immersed in sadness.

Otherwise, one day when they miss their daughter and go crazy and cannot bear the grief, they will really follow her mother.

This was not the result she wanted.

Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu talked to Gu Wan for a long time before they stood up.

They looked around. Although it was remote, it was clean and clean.

There are many flowers around. Now that the weather is getting warmer, some flowers have bloomed.

Apart from the lack of water, the scenery can be considered beautiful.

"Yan'er, did you plant these flowers?" Mrs. Gu asked.

"No, the prince planted it." Shen Yan replied.

"Prince?" Mrs. Gu was a little surprised. She saw that many of the things around her were old, but Shen Yan and Xie Huaijing only got engaged last year.

Is it...

Seeing Mrs. Gu's doubts, Shen Yan explained, "Yes, that's him. He has been practicing it for many years. I had not returned to the capital at that time. He came to worship my mother and saw that the surrounding area was too desolate, so he built the pavilion. , planted flowers.”

"In the years when I didn't return to Beijing, he was always worshiping my mother."

Only he came to worship.

When Shen Yan knew this at that time, he was extremely moved.

At that time, when Xie Huaijing did these things, he could not predict that they would be together in the future.

He fulfilled his filial piety for Shen Yan and paid silently without asking for anything in return.

He loved Shen Yan to the core and cared about everything she cared about.

"The Crown Prince is a good man. When I see him, I will definitely thank him." Mrs. Gu said.

"Yan'er received a letter from the Crown Prince a few days ago, saying that he won the battle and will probably be back soon." Mr. Gu said.

Shen Yan looked into the distance, her thoughts were like flowing water and never stopped.

They sat in the pavilion for a long time and did not leave until dark.

late at night.

Shen Yan took Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu to the princess's mansion.

The next day.

Ding Meili came to the princess's mansion to visit Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu.

Shen Yan entered the palace to return his orders to Emperor Xuande.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has arrived at Puning Temple. Everything will be in accordance with your instructions."

Emperor Xuande nodded, "Anping, you have made great achievements this time, is there anything you want?"

"What I want has never changed." Shen Yan replied.

"Don't you make a wish? What if there is someone important to save like last time? If you have a wish, you can exchange it with me." Emperor Xuande smiled.

Shen Yan knew that Emperor Xuande was talking about Fu Minglang. She didn't know where Fu Minglang was now. Her people left Fu Minglang alone and left him alone.

"The emperor is a wise king. I don't need to exchange for those who should be forgiven, and the emperor will forgive them. If there are people who the emperor cannot forgive, I will never keep them."

Emperor Xuande nodded, he was very satisfied with Shen Yan's answer.

Shen Yan has his own opinions on how to act, but he will obey his orders.

"I have always made clear rewards and punishments. If I make a mistake, I will be punished. If I make a meritorious service, of course I should be rewarded."

Emperor Xuande looked serious, "Princess Anping obeys the order."

"I'm here." Shen Yan knelt down.

"The rice seedlings in Changyang County were damaged this time. You found the murderer and saved the rice seedlings. You also discovered that Changyang County's grain tax was fraudulent, thoroughly investigated corrupt officials, and saved tens of thousands of losses for the court. You have done a great job."

Emperor Xuande looked majestic, "I grant you permission to enter and leave the palace freely from now on without having to salute anyone."

Such an honor can only be obtained by veterans who conquered the country together with the late emperor, shared life and death, and made countless military exploits.

Now Emperor Xuande has given it to Shen Yan. In the entire Qin Dynasty, Shen Yan is the only one who has such a special privilege.

This shows how much Emperor Xuande valued her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Yan thanked him and stood up.

The two discussed political matters for a while before Shen Yan left the palace.

After leaving the palace, she did not go back to the palace, but went to the academy.

The academy has started school. She is not here, no one is in class, and her students are all in the hospital.

After arriving at the academy and going to his room, Yan Qing came.

"The county lord."

"Master Yan, sit down." Shen Yan smiled lightly, "Thank you for the hard work this time. If it weren't for your help, Magistrate Chen, an important witness, would be gone, and we wouldn't be able to bring down the Queen Mother so easily."

"It's not hard work. It's my honor to serve the court and benefit the people together with the princess." Yan Qing smiled gently.

This time he made meritorious service, and Emperor Xuande rewarded him.

Of course, it didn't matter whether there was a reward or not, as long as he could walk side by side with Shen Yan, he would be happy.

Moreover, Shen Yan entrusted such an important matter to him instead of to others, which proved that Shen Yan trusted him and believed in his abilities.

This pleased him more than anything else.

"There may be situations like this in the future that will trouble Mr. Yan." Shen Yan said.

"It doesn't matter. Whatever the princess needs, you can tell me and I will do my best to complete it."

As long as you need me, I will always be there. Yan Qing can only keep these words deep in his heart.

"Princess, how are you going to Changyang County this time?" Yan Qing said softly, "I heard that your maternal grandfather and grandmother came to the capital."

"I'm fine." Shen Yan pursed her lips and smiled, "They are here and they will live in the Princess's Mansion."

"When the princess is free, I will visit the two old people." Yan Qing said.

"Okay." Shen Yan came to the academy today to discuss important matters with Yan Qing, "Mr. Yan, I want to open an agriculture class in the academy. What do you think?"

Yan Qing didn't even think about replying, "Okay, I support you."

He had already heard about Shen Yan rescuing rice seedlings in Changyang County and teaching local people how to grow crops.

It turns out that there are so many things to pay attention to even when growing crops.

"But, I can't do this by myself. Is it possible for you to do it?" Shen Yan asked.

Such a big thing as strengthening the country is absolutely impossible to accomplish with her energy alone.

She must gather the strengths of everyone, work together, and pass them on from generation to generation, in order to strengthen the country.

"I would like to, but I won't." Yan Qing said.

"I'll teach you, and you teach others." Shen Yan said with certainty, "Master Yan's intelligence is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Ordinary people study for three years, and you study for three months. Moreover, you are good at teaching and educating people, and you are born to be a teacher. material."

Yan Qing felt happy after being praised by Shen Yan, but he controlled his emotions very well.

"I will follow the princess's arrangements." Yan Qing did not hesitate at all.

"I look forward to Mr. Yan's great ambitions in the territory of Da Qin and making the people have enough food and clothing as soon as possible." Shen Yan said with a smile.

"Yan Qing is willing to devote his whole life to working with the princess to create glory together." Yan Qing looked at Shen Yan with unwavering eyes.

After discussing the business, Shen Yan left the academy and went straight to the hospital.

"Princess Anping!"

Shen Yan was about to get on the carriage when she heard someone calling her from behind.
