Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

Everyone in the Shen family felt sad as they watched the bridal sedan go away.

"Second sister, why do you think that as a woman, you can only marry a good man and take good care of your husband and children in this life?" Shen Yanyan sighed slightly as she watched the sedan chair going away!

"But it has always been the case that a woman should marry a good man and take good care of her husband and children after marriage." Shen Lingling looked at her sister and said. Her sister might have been raised away from home since she was a child, so she had a carefree personality and always scoffed at rules and dogmas. If her mother hadn't forced her to learn the etiquette that a woman should have, she would have been a rebellious person.

"Yes, how can the thousand-year-old feudal dogma be easily broken?" Shen Yanyan murmured to herself, looking a little depressed.

Although she has been in this world for more than ten years, she still sometimes feels that she cannot fit into this world full of restrictions on women. As a woman, she has to take care of her husband and children and cannot show her face in public at will. There are too many things she cannot do. Compared with the more than ten years in Yangzhou City, perhaps the more than ten years in the Valley of Divine Doctors was a brief period of freedom for her.

Three days later, Shen Qingqing brought Wang Yanzhao back home.

After dinner, the two returned to Wang's house.

At lunch the next day, Shen Zhimo received a letter from the border and had to rush back.

When everyone in the Shen family learned the news, Shen Zhimo had already packed his luggage and was ready to leave after lunch.

"Why did you leave in such a hurry? Couldn't you stay a few more days? Look how old you are now, you should get married. I was thinking that if you could stay longer this time, I would arrange a marriage for you. But you, you only stayed for a few days and then hurried back again." Mother Shen frowned slightly.

"Madam, a man should put national affairs first. If you call him back urgently, it must be for something important. The engagement should be based on his wishes, okay?" Father Shen comforted Mother Shen.

Although Shen's mother was a little unhappy, she respected her child's wishes after listening to Shen's father's words: When will you come back next time? Will you not come back for several years? You are so old now, you can't stay at the border for another three to five years. I don't agree with this.

"Yes, your mother is right. You can't be away for three to five years again. If you do that, your mother, your sister and I will worry about you." Father Shen said again.

"Yes, brother, if possible, you can come back once a year. We all miss you very much." Shen Lingling said.

"Brother, you're leaving after just a few days. Will you remember me when you come back next time? We've only met for a few days and you're leaving." Shen Yanyan said mischievously.

Shen Zhimo looked at his parents and two sisters and said, "I will try to go home once a year in the future. If I have time, don't worry. As for you two, I will often send you some small things from the border when I go back. If you miss me, just write to me and I will receive it."

He then said to Shen Yanyan, "Yanyan, I have a lot of things to do in the army and cannot accompany you more. I'm sorry. You have been away from home since you were a child. We siblings have finally met, but I have to leave again." Shen Zhimo was a little helpless, but there was an urgent report from the army, so he could not stay for long.

Shen Yanyan's eyes were a little sore. In her previous life, she was away from home all year round and only went home during the Chinese New Year. In this life, she had been in the Divine Doctor Valley for more than ten years and only Xia Zhu and some people from the Divine Doctor Valley had been with her. Whether in her previous life or the past ten years, she had no sense of belonging to the word home.

After returning to Yangzhou, she could feel how good her family was to her. Now, she felt a little sad as she saw her own brother was about to leave.

Then he suppressed his reluctance and sadness, and said to Shen Zhimo: "It's okay, brother, maybe I can find you when I travel to the border in the future. I will write to you."

"You are talking nonsense again, girl. Yangzhou city is not enough for you to travel around, and you want to go to the border? Don't even think about it. You are a girl running around all day." Mother Shen glared at Shen Yanyan lovingly.

Shen Yanyan looked at Shen's mother and said coquettishly: I was just joking, mom, hehe.

Unexpectedly, her words came true. Later, she not only went to the border, but also saved Shen Zhimo's life.

Of course this is a story for later.

Shen Zhimo finished his meal in a hurry and went to the stable to get the horse.

He jumped on his horse and galloped quickly out of the city.

However, someone called him from behind: Shen Yanyan.

"Brother!" Shen Yanyan called him.

Shen Zhimo stopped his horse and looked at his sister, with some questions in his mind.

"Brother, the journey to the border is long, you have to be careful." Shen Qingqing handed Shen Zhimo a thin book, "This is some books I copied a few days ago, you must keep it well, you can use it at the border."

Shen Zhimo flipped through it casually and was very surprised to find that it was about the art of war.

"How do you know all this?" Shen Zhimo said excitedly. It seemed that this sister was much smarter than he thought.

"Don't worry about it, brother. I only copied half of it. I will send the rest to you when I write to you. You are at the border, and this book will be of great use to you." Shen Yanyan said as she looked at the half of the Thirty-Six Strategies.

It is more than just of great use. He just glanced at it and felt that this book was magical. After returning to the barracks, he must study it carefully. Shen Zhimo thought to himself.

"Okay, I got it, brother. You should go back quickly, I have to hurry on my way." After saying that, he rode away.

The Shen family suddenly became quiet again. After the eldest sister got married, Shen Lingling spent all day following Shen's mother to learn how to run a shop as a housekeeper.

But Shen Yanyan couldn't stand studying every day, so she secretly rode away on a horse the day after Shen Zhimo left home.

That day, when Shen's mother saw that Shen Yanyan was late, she asked the nanny beside her to call someone. The nanny looked at the empty yard and returned to the lady's yard.

After a while, the doorman came to report that Shen Yanyan had ridden away again, saying that she was going to stay at the farm for a few days.

Mother Shen listened and said helplessly: "Forget it, this girl is used to being wild, let her be."

On the way to the villa, the master and servant rode leisurely on horseback, not at all as hurried as when they first left the mansion.

"That Jing Zhan should have left, it's been more than half a month." Shen Yanyan muttered to herself. He didn't look like the kind of person who had nothing to do, so he must have left.

"Miss, what are you talking about?" Xia Zhu asked Shen Yanyan who was muttering to herself.

"Nothing. I don't know if Jing Zhan and Wu Qingfeng are still in the Wu Family Villa. It would be awkward if they were still there." Shen Yanyan felt a little guilty after she had teased them and ran away.

"Why don't we take a detour to the village?" Xia Zhu said.

"Forget it. Whether I stick my head out or not, I'll still be killed. I'll leave from the Wu family's villa and ask them if they are still there." Shen Yanyan said helplessly.

Wu Family Villa,

"There's news from Jinling that Prime Minister Gao wants to place some people from the talent show into the palace." Wu Qingfeng said, looking at Xiao Jingzhan opposite him.

"Beauty trap. The Prime Minister would not resort to such a low-level trick, would he?" Xiao Jingzhan tapped the table with his fingers and shook his head slightly.

"That's right. I don't know what that old fox is up to. Now that the matter has been investigated almost thoroughly, Your Majesty should return to the capital." Wu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Wait a little longer, the little girl should be back soon. Doesn't she still owe a meal?" Xiao Jingzhan played with the teacup in his hand, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

"What if she doesn't come back?" Wu Qingfeng was a little speechless. Did something happen in the meantime that he didn't know about? Why did he suddenly care so much about Miss Shen San?

Xiao Jingzhan didn't say anything, but just looked towards the door. Wu Qingfeng also followed his gaze.

An Liu came in and bowed to the two of them, saying, "Master, Miss Shen just came from the other courtyard and said that if you and Master Wu are still in the other courtyard, she would like to invite you and Master Wu to have hot pot tomorrow night."

"Isn't it here?" Xiao Jingzhan drank the tea in the cup, with a look of understanding in his eyes.

"You're not sending people to follow him, are you? Why are you so perverted?" Wu Qingfeng looked at him with an expression that showed he understood everything, and immediately said loudly.

Xiao Jingzhan gave Wu Qingfeng a cold look, and the other party immediately shut up and drank his tea quietly.

"Tell her that you will definitely attend the banquet tomorrow." Xiao Jingzhan's lips curled up with a teasing smile. She wanted to run away after teasing him. What did the little girl think of him?

"Yes."

Pear Blossom Villa.

As soon as Shen Yanyan arrived, she went to check out the vegetables in the fields. They were growing very well, especially the green potato seedlings that were growing one after another. She was so happy. If she could grow them successfully, then many people would not have to go hungry.

"Let the people in the farm take good care of this small piece of land for me," Shen Yanyan said to Xia Zhu, her tone showing unconcealed happiness.

"Miss, what is this? Is it edible? You always come to see this potato every time you come to the villa, right?" Xia Zhu said, looking at a small piece of green. She also heard from Miss that this was called potato, and it was very important. Every time she came to the villa, she had to take a look at it to feel at ease.

"Good stuff, good stuff that can save lives." Shen Yanyan didn't say much. After all, the matter of these potatoes could be a big deal or a small one, and she didn't want others to know the importance of potatoes for the time being.

"We will stay in the west courtyard tonight. You can take two maids to clean the courtyard, especially the small kitchen and the living room."

She installed a hot pot table in the living room of the other courtyard. It imitated the stoves in the southwest that can keep warm and cook. Its function is similar to that of a fireplace, but it is much safer and more practical than a fireplace. In winter, it can increase the indoor temperature and you can eat hot pot while warming yourself by the fire. It is very practical.

Since you've invited them over for dinner, you might as well clean up in advance.

"Yes, Miss, I will ask someone to clean it later."

"Well, I'll go back to the west courtyard first and ask Nanny Li to bring lunch over." Shen Yanyan said as she walked towards the ridge of the field, preparing to return to the west courtyard.

There are some vacant lots on the west side of the villa, right next to the west courtyard. Shen Yanyan ordered people to cultivate the land and plant some fruits and vegetables. She can see the fruits and vegetables in the field even when she stands in her room on the second floor.
