...
At the city gate, Princess Donglin had already prepared the carriage. The King of Wu arrived so late that Princess Donglin almost threw the feather duster in her hand at him.
"You knew that he was out of your reach, but you still went there to seek death?" Princess Donglin was very disappointed with him.
The King of Wu lowered his head in grievance and said, "Sister, I am about to return to Donglin, please stop beating and scolding me."
Princess Donglin felt a sour nose and hugged her poor and stupid brother tightly.
Princess Donglin lowered her voice and said kindly: "You can like anyone, but not that one. There are many good girls in the world, and you will meet the right girl for you in the future."
King Wu's eyes were red.
He covered his chest sullenly, his voice choked with sobs: "But sister... my heart is so sad, I feel like I will never fall in love with another woman in this life."
He will always remember the summer wind, which clearly expresses his love.
Princess Donglin touched King Wu's head and said, "Go quickly. I have prepared enough gold and silver for you. If you don't return to Donglin, you can buy a house in the south and live there for a long time. I don't know why, but I always have a feeling that we will meet again soon."
The King of Wu nodded with tears in his eyes.
The brother and sister were reluctant to part.
The luxurious carriage carrying the lovelorn King Wu left the prosperous city of Yanjing along the long official road.
King Wu was depressed, leaning against the shaking wall of the car, with Shen Wei's beautiful back turning over and over in his mind.
Seeing that the King of Wu was unhappy, Zhang Wu Ge deliberately tried to find a topic to talk about: "Your Majesty, why don't we change our route to Jiangnan? I heard that there are many beautiful and intelligent girls there."
The King of Wu held his chin in his hand, looking at the long official road in the distance without interest: "What's the use of being beautiful and smart? I like lively girls, with a good back view and a strong character."
Just like Yuan Xier, just like Chen Wei.
What a pity, good girls are hard to come by.
If he can't marry the one he likes in this life, it would be better to be alone for the rest of his life.
The King of Wu felt uncomfortable and didn't want to sit in the stuffy carriage anymore. He got out of the carriage, jumped onto a horse, and prepared to ride on.
Just as he pulled the reins, he suddenly heard the dull sound of horse hooves. The official road was covered with yellow grass. A black horse came galloping like lightning, raising a cloud of dust.
As the horse approached, the dust settled and the King of Wu was blinded by the dust.
"Brother, how far is Yanjing City?" asked a cheerful female voice.
The King of Wu's eyes were filled with dust and he could not see the face of the woman on horseback, but his voice seemed very young and full of vigor. The King of Wu rubbed his eyes and replied, "Follow this road, it's about fifty miles to the city of Yanjing."
The woman smiled and said, "Thank you! Is there dust in your eyes? Sorry, I was in a hurry and haven't washed the horse for a long time."
The woman rummaged through her sleeves, pulled out an old handkerchief and handed it to the King of Wu: "Wipe your eyes."
The King of Wu wiped his eyes.
After his vision cleared, he saw the woman riding away on her horse. The woman was wearing gray clothes, her hair was casually tied with a cloth strip, and she rode the horse with heroic movements.
The King of Wu's heart, which had been silent for two hours, began to beat again.
What a cool back view!
Where is this girl from?
Is she married?
She shouldn't be the queen mother of any country, right?
Brother Zhang Wu drove over in a carriage and said to the King of Wu, "Your Majesty, shall we continue on our journey? There is a small town 20 miles ahead where we can rest tonight."
King Wu clutched his handkerchief and glared at Brother Zhang Wu: "What are you rushing for! Go back to Yanjing City! I left something precious in the city!"
The King of Wu returned quickly.
At the Yan Mansion in Yanjing City, Princess Donglin saw her brother off and was in a bad mood. Although Chen Wei was kind and generous and did not punish him, King Wu had offended the Emperor after all, so sending him away was a way of admitting his mistake.
Princess Donglin leaned back in her chair, holding a teacup and muttering, "Alas, the journey is long. I wonder if my brother will get sick and if he can take good care of himself..."
The housekeeper came in hurriedly: "Madam! His Royal Highness the King of Wu he he he he——"
Princess Donglin raised her eyes unhappily: "He's gone."
Butler: "No! King Wu is back again!"
Princess Donglin was confused. She quickly got up and went out, and saw her brother who she had not seen for three hours at the gate of the mansion.
Princess Donglin was bewildered: "Brother, why are you back again?"
King Wu stepped forward and said happily, "Sister, I've fallen in love with a girl! I have a feeling that she is the extraordinary woman predicted by the national teacher! She even offered me a handkerchief on her own initiative, so she must like me!"
Princess Donglin:...
Three hours ago, King Wu vowed, "I feel that I will never fall in love with another woman in my life." It hasn't been long since then, and this guy changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.

...
When it gets dark, the imperial manor of Luoyue Lake is brightly lit.
Shen Wei stood at the door of the manor, looking forward to it. After a while, she heard the sound of horses.
A black horse appeared.
The young girl in gray got off the horse and handed the reins to the housekeeper of the imperial manor. Then she walked towards Shen Wei and knelt on both knees to salute: "Mingyue greets aunt! May aunt be well!"
Shen Wei smiled and helped her up: "I received a letter from my brother this morning and learned that you came to Yanjing. You have traveled day and night, and you must have worked hard."
Shen Mingyue smiled and said, "It's not hard. My father and mother learned that my aunt was seriously ill some time ago, and they were very worried, but there were so many trivial matters at the border that I couldn't spare time. I just happened to have some free time, so I rushed to Yanjing to visit you."
Shen Mingyue is the eldest daughter of General Shen Mieyue and Sun Qingmei, and has lived in Liangzhou City since childhood.
Some time ago, Shen Wei was hit by the "Yan Sheng technique". When the news reached Liangzhou, Shen Mieyue was extremely anxious. Shen Mingyue volunteered to come to Yanjing City to visit.
It was also the first time that Shen Wei met this niece. After a careful look, she found that Shen Mingyue's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Sun Qingmei, and she also had the boldness of Shen Mieyue.
Shen Wei liked it very much and pulled the little girl into the house to eat. The house in Dongyuan was cleaned up and Shen Mingyue was allowed to live in the manor.
Shen Mingyue has a strong ability to adapt, is cheerful and generous, and soon becomes friends with Leyou.
In the pavilion by the lake, Mo Xun and Shen Wei were eating melon seeds.
Mo Xun was filled with emotion when he saw Shen Mingyue and Le You playing on the pleasure boat. Mo Xun ate melon seeds and said with envy, "Chen Wei, look how young and lively they are - time really spares no one. When I was not a vicious woman, I laughed as happily as they do."
Mo Xun felt old.
After living two lives, I am exhausted both physically and mentally.
Shen Wei handed her a bowl of summer ice drink and comforted her softly: "Don't think too much. If you want to find someone to chat, just come find me."
As people of the same generation, they always have many topics to talk about and endless past to reminisce.
But Shen Wei gradually realized that Mo Xun had become lifeless, her appetite had dropped drastically, her face was haggard, and her spirit was depressed.
Mo Xun lost the will to live, his heart was like a dead tree, no longer full of life.
The sparkling Luoyue Lake came into Mo Xun's sight. Mo Xun sighed and said, "Chen Wei, I don't have much time left. After I die, bury me in Nanshan."
