Chapter 1790 Learning Singing and Dancing

"The Southern Emperor is vengeful and retaliates sooner or later. However, judging from the current situation, he won't be able to cause much trouble. Listen to me, even if the sky falls, it won't stop you from getting married and having children."

"I didn't want to look for someone. Nobody else is looking for someone, so why should I be in a hurry? It's not like I'm just looking for someone because I can't stand being alone."

Wan Lianxing's expression tightened upon hearing this, and his eyes looked towards Suiming's lower body. "You don't have any hidden ailments, do you? If so, we need to call a doctor right away."

Sui Ming also looked down at his lower body and immediately realized, "What nonsense are you thinking, Your Majesty? I'm stronger than an ox, and I'm in great shape!"

Wan Lianxing breathed a sigh of relief. "It's not good to have so many bachelors. Do you know how other countries spread the word about me?"

Wan Lianxing had only whispered a couple of sentences to Ming when Ming clenched his fists, his murderous aura intensifying. "Which small country is so deserving of a beating?"

"People can say whatever they want, how can we possibly silence them? If you don't want to upset me, you should all settle down and start families as soon as possible."

He immediately yielded, "I will obey Your Majesty's will!"

The worry on Wan Lianxing's face vanished in an instant, replaced by a smile. "That's right!"

Before long, the old steward returned with a stack of lists. The lists contained the names of eligible women from the families of civil and military officials. Wan Lianxing glanced through them and saw that out of the many names, only a dozen or so were checked off. "These are the only outstanding ones?"

The old steward said, "Many of the young ladies on this list didn't come, so I just ticked off the ones that looked good. I think we should still have our servants visit each of them one by one."

"What you said is a good idea, but I'm afraid the attendants' judgment won't be up to par!" Wan Lianxing shook his head after saying that.

"Your Majesty is right. This old servant will think of another way."

A new batch of flowers and plants were transplanted into the garden of the General's Mansion. Among them, several white wintersweet blossoms were the most outstanding. Shang Xi picked two blossoms and put them on Qian Changhong's little head. The little girl ran out to show them off with great joy.

Shang Xi looked down at the ground and immediately told Han Nianxia to stop. "Nianxia, ​​what are you doing? Why are you destroying such beautiful flowers? This is the General's Mansion, and today is a joyous occasion. What are you doing with that miserable face?"

Han Nianxia then came to her senses and frantically squatted down to pick up the plum blossoms she had scattered all over the ground. "Sister-in-law, I was thinking about something, and then... oh dear..."

Yu Hua bent down to help pick them up. Fortunately, there were already some petals blown down by the wind on the ground, so picking up a couple of handfuls made them less noticeable. It was just that the two branches on the tree were pitifully bare. Yu Hua also complained to Han Nianxia, ​​"When you first came, I saw that you were absent-minded. What were you thinking about!"

Han Nianxia looked visibly tired and listless. "I don't know what's wrong, but my mom keeps making me practice singing and dancing." Han Nianxia reached up and touched her neck. "My voice is sore from singing lately, my back and legs are aching, and my fingers are all chafed!"

Yu Hua looked at Han Nianxia's fingers: "Oh dear, how come all ten of your fingers are rotten? How did you get this?"

Han Nianxia had a bitter face. "It's from playing the zither! My mother has gone mad. She does nothing all day but watch me do these useless things. I don't even leave the house now. If it weren't for General Suixin's wedding, I would still be at home playing the zither and showing off my singing today!"

Upon hearing this, Shang Xi crossed her arms and glanced at Han Nianxia, ​​finally saying with a half-smile, "Your mother is only doing this for your own good!"

Han Nianxia disagreed: "Sister-in-law, why don't you let me stay at your Prince's Mansion for a few days? I'll go home after my mother's madness has subsided!"

"It's not that your cousin-in-law is stingy and won't let you stay, but your mother's intensified training of you might have ulterior motives!"

"What could be the purpose? It's just to torture me, sister-in-law. You won't just stand by and watch me die, will you?" Han Nianxia's eyes were full of pleading, and she was almost about to grab Shang Xi's sleeve to wipe away her tears.

Shang Xi could only shake her head helplessly, "Even if you go to my mansion, you'll be taken back. What's the point? Since your mother told you to practice your skills at home, then just practice."

Han Nianxia stretched out her hand, feigning distress, "Sister-in-law, don't you feel sorry for me?"

"Playing the victim won't work; I don't have the final say in this matter!"

“If my cousin’s wife doesn’t care, I’ll go to my cousin. My cousin definitely won’t stand by and watch me die.”

"Alright, if your cousin agrees, then you can stay at my residence. You've stayed at our Prince's residence before, haven't you? If you can persuade your cousin, then go and stay! I have no objection!"

"I'm going to find my cousin right now! Qiu'er, let's go!" Han Nianxia, ​​acting on her impulse, turned and left to find Cheng Feng!

Yu Hua looked at Han Nianxia's stubborn back and said, "What's wrong with Madam Han? Isn't she usually the one who spoils Han Nianxia the most? Why is she starting to force her to learn martial arts?"

It was only at this moment that Shang Xi truly admired those people surnamed Han; they were really good at scheming!

Shang Xi had a few drinks today, not too much, but slightly tipsy. Yu Hua pulled back the sedan curtain and looked behind her. "Han Nianxia really persuaded Cheng Feng. Her carriage is right behind us."

Shang Xi smiled and said, "It's no use coming along; she definitely can't stay at the Prince's mansion!"

Yu Hua was puzzled. "How can you be so sure? Han Nianxia has a thick skin. Once she moves in, she won't be leaving for a while. She'll be here for ten days or half a month, or even a month or two!"

"Just you wait and see!" Shang Xi didn't say anything more, she just watched.

As soon as they stepped through the gates of the Prince's mansion, Madam Han arrived, looking fierce. "Nianxia, ​​come back with your mother!"

Han Nianxia hid behind Shang Xi: "I'm not going back. I'm exhausted these past few days, unless you stop me from practicing any singing and dancing!"

"You want to negotiate with me?" Madam Han's voice, which had just risen high, fell back down. This was the gate of the Prince's mansion, not her own home, and besides, there was a group of younger relatives watching her. Her voice softened considerably. "Come back with your mother. The teacher who teaches singing and dancing is already waiting for you at the mansion!"

"What's the point of learning those useless things? I'm not going to learn them!"

Madam Han looked somewhat anxious. "How can it be useless? This is extremely useful! Come back with me quickly; the teachers are all waiting to teach you!"

"Let them wait and see, I'm not learning. If you keep pushing me, I'll tell my aunt!" Han Nianxia turned and ran towards Madam Wan's courtyard to get help!

Madam Han had no choice but to start chasing after her. "Nianxia! This was your aunt's idea. Going to your aunt won't do you any good!"

Just then, Cheng Feng, reeking of alcohol, walked up from behind Shang Xi. "What's going on? Why is it so lively? What kind of advice is my mother giving the Han family this time?"

Shang Xi chuckled, "Your mother, who is also my mother-in-law, made Han Nianxia learn singing and dancing!"
