"When children are teething, they will want to grind their teeth. Only by grinding their teeth more can the teeth grow well." Emperor Wu of Xia said with a smug look on his face.

The Queen was completely bewildered and couldn't help but ask in shame, "Really? How did the Emperor know that?"

"Because he has a guide to raising infants and young children in his imperial study."

Wanwan smiled. Seeing how kind her father was, she couldn't bear to bite hard, so she just ground her teeth gently.

"this……"

The queen couldn't help but sigh, "It seems Wanwan was really raised by her father."

Wanwan chuckled, "This is perfect, you can take a rest now."

The Queen smiled and said nothing, "Yes, Daddy loves Wanwan. Mom has no business being around. Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, Princess Fu Yue is almost an adult. Here are the officials in the court. Please take a look and choose which one to be her husband?"

Fu Yue?

Emperor Wu of Xia was in high spirits when he thought that this girl was going to be married off. He quickly took the booklet and looked at it for a long time but could not make a decision.

"Daddy, let her choose for herself?"

Wanwan said, "She made her own choice, she won't blame you."

"Wanwan is right. Come, call the Sixth Princess over." Emperor Wu of Xia ordered.

After about a cup of tea, the Sixth Princess came over, and Concubine Yi also came over. Last time, the Sixth Princess knelt on the ground, and seemed to be much more obedient than before.

However, after not seeing him for half a month, Emperor Xia Wu was surprised. His face had become rounder.

"Fuyue, what's wrong with your figure? How can you get married if you eat like this?"

Emperor Wu of Xia looked at the chubby face and thought, "Oh my god, this is not just a little weight gain. It's unbelievable that he has gained so much weight in just half a month."

It’s unbearable to look at. I wonder if Zhang Liang would change the position of his dream lover in his heart when he sees her like this.

"Yeah, Fu Yue, you're not sick, are you? Is your face swollen?"

The Queen couldn't help but ask, "Or maybe you've been eating too much lately."

When this matter was mentioned, Wanwan pointed her finger at the side.

[Hmm…Hmm…I haven’t been eating that much lately. I only eat three bowls of rice a day.]

When Emperor Wu of Xia heard this, he probably knew that it was Wanwan who did the bad thing.

He glanced at him and said, "Yes, you only eat three bowls. You have three bowls for breakfast, three bowls for lunch, countless snacks at noon, and three bowls for dinner."

Emperor Wu of Xia was speechless. He had already been fed like this in the past half month. In another half month, he couldn't bear to think about it. Suddenly, he felt sorry for the minister's family no matter who he married his daughter to.

"Wow... Empress, the imperial physician has examined me and said there's nothing wrong. I just have a big appetite lately, but I haven't eaten anything in half a month. Besides, I exercise every day, and the amount of exercise is already very high. And yet, I'm still like this." Fu Yue was about to cry, "I don't know which deity I've offended. Father, I want to pray to the gods."

Emperor Wu of Xia was speechless. "Please beg Wanwan." Perhaps if you beg Wanwan, she will recover.

[Forget it, forget it. I won’t bully you anymore. You’re so pitiful.]

Wanwan picked up a talisman paper between her fingertips. After the talisman paper burned, a yellow light shot into her body.

Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, the transfer was lifted.

[Alas, I won't bully you anymore. Those two little princes have also been released. It's just a pity that I can't eat so much anymore.]

Emperor Wu of Xia was almost heartbroken. He tossed the booklet to her and said, "Fu Yue is of age now. I want to choose a husband for her. She can choose one herself. These are all the young talents in the court who are worthy of the princess's status. You choose one."

Fu Yue was thinking about getting married, and Concubine Yi and the Sixth Princess were very happy. After careful selection, they finally chose the legitimate son of the Minister of Rites without any suspense. "Father, this is it."

[Hahaha, no surprise there. They actually chose this white cucumber. Sigh, I hadn't even asked around. In a family like the Minister of Rites', his son would probably already have a harem of wives and concubines.]

What a pity for such a lovelorn man. He was so infatuated. After he got promoted and became rich, he still wanted to come back and marry her. However, this woman and her mother also hoped that their daughter would marry a man who could help them in the court.

"I think the eldest son of the Left Vice Minister of Rites is quite good. He has a unique mindset and a handsome appearance. He is a rare young talent."

Emperor Wu of Xia was still giving her a chance, "Would you like to consider it?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Yue's expression changed instantly, and tears welled up in her eyes again. "Father, no matter what, I am still your own flesh and blood."

Emperor Wu of Xia was too lazy to look at her, crying, "Forget it, forget it, just think it over. Go away, I think the first day of next month is a good day. I will grant you the marriage."

"Thank you, Father."

The mother and daughter were so happy, as if they had gotten a great deal. But then again, in form, they did get a great deal.

After all, the father of the Minister of Rites was the Duke of Qi. In the court, the Minister of Rites' family occupied a leading position.

But didn't he have the final say in the court? What happened to the bastard? If he wanted to promote him, the bastard would be second only to the emperor and above everyone else.

What a pity, my daughter won't listen to my advice at all. In that case, forget it.

If there is any dispute in the court in the future, or if the Minister of Rites goes too far, he will not show mercy to his daughter. It seems that he doesn't know how long he can tolerate this Minister of Rites.

Everything was her own choice, and he had tried his best to stop her, but since his daughter wouldn't listen, he let it go.

Emperor Wu of Xia suddenly remembered what Wanwan had said in the restaurant, about the prefect's daughter.

He looked at Wanwan. It seemed that she had her own ideas, so he left it to her.

Wanwan personally wrote a letter and handed it to Linghu Yue, "Brother Yue, take it to Master Jiutian. Ask him to cooperate with me."

"Okay, little princess."

Linghu Yue took the things and left.

Xia Mochen had been feeling much more at ease recently. Linghu Yue was often out on business, and the responsibility of protecting the little princess remained his. He felt much more at ease knowing no one was taking his place.

As for the Left Vice Minister of Rites, after returning home, he was always troubled by the task assigned to him by the emperor, which was to revise the rituals for legitimate and illegitimate children.

Alas, he had always suffered from the fact that he was a poor student with no background, so he could never climb up in the court. But he had a vague feeling that there might be room for him to rise in the court now.

Such a court is still good, because the emperor can distinguish between loyalty and treachery.

But not long after entering the house, I heard someone report, "Master, the second young master is sick."

"What's going on?"

The Left Vice Minister of Rites hurried over and asked as he walked.

"It seems... he's been possessed by an evil spirit." The servant replied.

The Left Vice Minister of Rites walked over and saw his incompetent son lying on the bed, talking to himself.

"Wen'er, what's wrong with you?" asked the Left Vice Minister of Rites.

"Dad, I saw Shu'er. He told me to go down and accompany her. Please save me quickly." Zhang Wen looked nervous. "Dad, he is right there... right there..."

Shu'er?

The Left Vice Minister of Rites was stunned and looked at his wife beside him.
