My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

Chapter 141 Like the Bright Moon in the Sky

After the court session, Yan Jingtian and Shen Nanting walked out of the palace together.

"Brother Yan, do you want to go for a drink? You will be going back to Yan State in a while, and it will be difficult to find you for a drink again." Shen Nanting was reluctant to see Yan Jingtian leave after finally meeting a like-minded person.

Yan Jingtian has been in Wu State for three years. He is proficient in both civil and military affairs, is kind, has his own unique insights into court affairs, and is deeply loved by Emperor Wu.

Shen Nanting has a calm personality. The two met and got to know each other while discussing historical books, and became good friends who could talk about anything in private.

"I couldn't ask for more. My father writes to me every day, always urging me to get married. It's quite a headache."

The two of them got on a carriage and went to Zuijiang Tower. The carriage swayed as it moved along Chang'an Street.

"This matter has spread throughout the palace. I think many ministers want to get close to you. Brother Yan, there is no need to worry." Shen Nanting tried to comfort Yan Jingtian.

"You are a full man who does not know the hunger of a hungry man. Your lovely wife is deeply in your heart, and you will soon have a lovely child. If your sister-in-law was not the woman you liked, would you be willing?" If the atmosphere when the couple is alone is as cautious and polite as that in the court, what fun would there be.

Shen Nanting was stunned when he heard it, then smiled.

"Then, Brother Yan, do you have a favorite girl?"

"Yes, but unfortunately she has no interest in me." Yan Jingtian sighed. If he had met Huaying earlier, would he be the one living in her heart?

"Haha, there is actually a woman who is not interested in the elegant Brother Yan. Tell me whose daughter she is?" As he was talking, he heard the voice of the servant outside, "Sir, we have arrived at Zuijiang Tower."

The two men got off the carriage, drank three rounds of wine, and chatted for a long time until Shen Nanting asked again, "We are brothers. Brother Yan, just tell me the name of the girl you like, and I will do my best to help you." Their faces were flushed with wine.

"Okay, I told you not to get angry." Yan Jingtian's eyes were a little dazed, and he poured himself another glass of wine.

Shen Nanting stared at Yan Jingtian and said, "Why are you turning against each other? It's never me that you like." After saying that, he even laughed.

Yan Jingtian grabbed Shen Nanting's shoulder and said word by word, "The woman I like is your sister Shen Anning. I fell in love with her the first time I saw her at the first Mid-Autumn Festival banquet when I came to Wu Kingdom."

Yan Jingtian ignored Shen Nanting's shocked expression and continued.

"She was beautiful, aloof and cold, just like the bright moon in the sky. But I saw her again in Taohua Town. You once asked who saved me, and it was her. She was cute and playful, smart and clever, like her and yet not like her. Later I had someone check and found out that she had lost her memory. The man with her was Fu Shiyan, the second son of the Fu family. I felt heartbroken. Why wasn't it me? I asked someone to send a message to you after I returned to Beijing." He gave the personal jade pendant to Huaying, hoping that she would come to Beijing to find him, but he has waited until now and Huaying has not come to find him.

"So, the note that was shot on the door of my father's study that night, informing the Shen family's daughter that it was you who was in Taohua Town..." Shen Nanting was much more sober now, and spoke more fluently.

Seeing Yan Jingtian nod, he drank another glass of wine.

Shen Nanting sat in his seat in a daze, and suddenly he understood why Prince Yan had visited him so many times since his younger sister returned home, but why didn't he notice it?

"When she was worried about the seeds, I thought she liked to grow flowers, because she planted flowers all over the courtyard of Taohua Village. When she was framed by the princess, I asked someone to poison the princess, otherwise the evil Zi Jin would have troubled Hua Ying again.

But she went to the black market to find medicine for the taciturn Fu Shiyan. I gave her the medicine she was looking for. I saw her happy for Fu Shiyan to pass the exam. Tell me, how am I not as good as Fu Shiyan? "

Yan Jingtian's eyes were already red. This was the first girl he liked, and he was not bad. But why couldn't Huaying see him?

Shen Nanting looked at Yan Jingtian who was quite drunk, picked up the wine glass and took a quick sip, suppressing his inner shock.

Yan Jingtian is not inferior to Fu Shiyan in terms of family background, talent, and martial arts. If he were just the prince of Wu State, my younger sister would not suffer any loss if she married him.

But, he is the prince of Yan State. If the two countries go to war, how will my younger sister survive alone in Yan State?

Seeing that his friend was already drunk, Shen Nanting did not call his followers. He staggered on his back and put Yan Jingtian into the carriage of the Prince's Mansion, and asked his followers to take good care of him.

Yan Jingtian in the carriage opened his eyes the moment the carriage shook. His eyes were clear and there was no trace of drunkenness at all.
