When the new emperor ascended the throne, Chen Kangjian was appointed prime minister and Xia Huai'en was appointed imperial tutor.

The rank of general among the military officers was still reserved for Cen Xiao.

I don't know when a new family appeared in Jiangzhou City. They lived in seclusion and rarely went out. I only saw the man buying groceries and cooking all day long, but I had never seen his wife.

"Young master, you're here to buy vegetables again. How come you've never seen your wife before?" The vegetable seller waved to Cen Xiao and spoke jokingly.

"My wife said that my cooking is delicious, so of course I have to cook for her every day!" Cen Xiao raised his head proudly.

Although the courtyard is not big, it is very comfortable.

Chen Tao came to see the doctor twice and brought two large camphorwood boxes filled with silver bills. He also kept an eye out and sought out many famous doctors.

After struggling for a while, I finally accepted my fate.

"If you need anything, just ask. I'm in charge of three streets of shops now. I can get whatever you want to eat, and I'll give you enough money!"

Every time I come, I say the same thing.

It is like this as spring goes and autumn comes.

The crabapple blossoms bloomed twice and withered twice, but there was still no sign of her waking up.

The crabapple blossoms are about to bloom again.

Cen Xiao and Pei Qing built a pavilion in the yard and placed two chaise longues in it, which was just right.

One day, Qing'e helped to carry Shen Wantang out and placed her under the pavilion.

"Tang'er, the crabapple blossoms are about to bloom again."

Cen Xiao slowly raised his head and looked at the crabapple tree in front of him.

A gust of wind blew by, and the crabapple flowers danced in the wind.

Even the wind smells sweet.

"The crabapple blossoms are blooming..."

In the breeze, there seemed to be a mixture of familiar yet unfamiliar sounds.

Qing'e and Cen Xiao were so focused on looking at the crabapple blossoms all over the sky that they ignored the people next to them.

"Qing'e, I seemed to hear Tang'er's voice just now."

Cen Xiao opened his mouth slowly, but as soon as he said it, he caused himself to laugh foolishly: "I must have missed her too much."

When she opened her eyes again, she saw crabapples all over the sky. She raised the corner of her mouth, turned her head, and saw Cen Xiao.

After not moving for a long time, her arms felt a little weak, but fortunately she was in good health, so she moved her hand with all her strength and placed it on Cen Xiao's hand.

For a moment, the world was silent, and Cen Xiao's smile froze on his face.

He didn't dare to look down, for fear that his hopes would be dashed once again.

"You are getting more and more childish. You dare not even look at me."

Shen Wantang's voice sounded again, and the tears he had been holding back for a long time began to fall.

Before this, firecrackers were set off in the courtyard, which had been quiet for three years.

No one in Jiangzhou city knew what had happened in the small courtyard. The people only knew that in the spring of that year, Chen Tao, whose business had become prosperous, sent countless good things to people in Jiangzhou like crazy.

Cloth, grain, oil, and fresh meat.

It is said that someone used that piece of cloth for three years in a row and still couldn’t use it up!

A few more years passed.

"Cen Xiao! You are preventing me from educating the girl again! If the girl continues to be spoiled by you like this, she will become a waste sooner or later!"

Shen Wantang was so angry that he drew out his soft sword and started slashing.

The couple chased each other from the ground to the beam, and then jumped to the top of the wall.

Shen Wantang had recovered really well, and now he was chasing after Cen Xiao, not willing to be outdone. In just a moment, he had Cen Xiao pinned under him.

"My dear lady, my dear lady, I just feel sorry for the girl. She has to read books day and night. I feel sorry for her!"

Cen Xiao was beaten so hard that he begged for mercy again and again.

"Then you feel sorry for your daughter becoming a waste!"

Shen Wantang grabbed Cen Xiao by the collar, looking very disappointed in him.

The two stood up, and Cen Xiao came over eagerly, pinching her shoulders and rubbing her arms: "How Ming'er grows up is up to her fate."

"If jade is not carved, it will not become a useful object! Cen Xiao, if you dare to give me orders again, I will..." Just as Shen Wantang was about to lose his temper, he paused.

"I won't let you enter my room!" Shen Wantang's eyes turned and he smiled sneerfully.

After these words were spoken, Cen Xiao stopped talking.

Everyone in the capital city knew that the daughter of the Duke of Ying was the most independent-minded. Even when she was with the princes, she was not inferior to them.

"You are really amazing, girl."

In the imperial garden, looking at the children playing, Ji Xunze couldn't help but admire them again and again.

"I think she is a person with her own ideas. It would be better to marry her to my naughty monkey so that I can teach him a lesson!"

As he spoke, Ji Xunze's probing gaze fell on the couple.

Before Shen Wantang could rush to refute, Cen Xiao said, "Your Majesty is praising my girl. She is just a coward with a strong appearance. She just has some ideas about playing."

After listening to Cen Xiao's words, Ji Xunze also understood, but just smiled again and said nothing more.

"Have you thought clearly about what I told you to do before, that we should continue to guard the border?"

Ji Xunze changed the subject and spoke.

Ji Xunchuan's eyes darkened, with a helpless smile on his face, and he turned around: "Your Majesty, I have devoted the first half of my life to you. Now that I have a daughter, I beg you to let me enjoy the happiness of family life."

After he finished speaking, Ji Xunchuan laughed out loud and shook his head helplessly.

"Whatever! Go ahead! A few days ago, General Ye submitted a petition to me, asking me to guard the border. That's fine. I'll let him do it!"

Ji Xunze waved his hand.

As soon as the words fell, a palace maid not far away came forward slowly and said, "Your Majesty, the Qiqiao Festival will be held in three days. The Queen has already ordered that this year's Qiqiao Festival will still be held in Liuhe Palace."

Ji Xunze nodded.

"This year, Her Majesty also invited the princess." The maid continued.

When the princess was mentioned, everyone fell silent.

After a long while, Ji Xunchuan finally spoke slowly: "Leave everything to the Queen! I trust her."

"Ji Xunchuan sought his own death, but Your Majesty was merciful and posthumously conferred the title of prince on him." Cen Xiao frowned slightly.

After the voice fell, Ji Xunze's face looked a little ugly. Shen Wantang quickly said: "I heard that the northern border attacked a lot of good things a few days ago. The envoys of Rongguo will come to pay a visit soon. Our country is getting better and better."

The conversation was changed again, and smiles returned to everyone's faces.

After coming out of the palace, Shen Wantang let out a long sigh, and then looked at Cen Xiao beside him: "When you speak in the future, you must be careful with your words! Otherwise, if you make a mistake in the future, you will cry!"

Cen Xiao just grabbed Shen Wantang's arm and said in a coquettish tone: "I have already cried all my tears for my wife. I don't have any more tears to leave for others."

After he finished speaking, Shen Wantang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"By the way, Pei Qing asked me a few days ago that he wanted to marry Qing'e. Why didn't you say a good word for me, my lady?"

Cen Xiao suddenly thought of something, frowned slightly and spoke.

"Qing'e is someone who has her own ideas, and I don't want to force her." Shen Wantang breathed a sigh of relief and spoke slowly.

Cen Xiao also sighed and said helplessly: "Forget it, just think of Pei Qing as an unlucky person!" After saying that, he hugged Shen Wantang tightly.

The sound of a temple bell rang not far away, and the two looked into the distance.

"Before this, I knelt before the gods and Buddhas and prayed for your rebirth. Now, it's time to fulfill my wish." Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Under the gods and Buddhas, there are people who have entered Buddhism sitting in rows.

Looking closely, I saw a person with beautiful appearance.

If you look closely, you can still see what this person looks like——

Cen Xiao knelt down slowly, but Shen Wantang's attention was attracted by the beautiful monk——

Today is the day for people to come to the nunnery on the mountain to listen to Buddhist teachings. It has been ten years since Shen Ying became a nun.

Well, let's call her the Green Lamp and Ancient Buddha, and let it go to atone for my sins.

"What wish did you make, my lady?" Cen Xiao asked, holding Shen Wantang's hand.

"Of course, I hope that tomorrow's studies will go well, and we will be together forever."

Shen Wantang spoke softly.

"I wish you a long life."
