Ji Qianxue smiled slightly: "I was in danger that day in the palace. I wanted to escape from the window, but I met King Li. He asked three questions at the beginning, 'Is Qingyun in there? Where is she? Is she safe?' , I understand if you keep saying nothing like this."

Shen Qingyun said nothing and looked at her quietly, but his heart tightened a little.

Ji Qianxue continued: "Later he saw Lin Xueying, and to prevent misunderstanding, he knocked her unconscious and showed no mercy. Later he saw Lin Xueying holding your handkerchief. To be honest, at that moment, I felt His Highness Wang looked at Lin Xueying as if he were looking at another corpse. Fortunately, someone came in time to report that you were fine, otherwise Lin Xueying would not be spared lightly."

"If I still can't understand what Prince Li thinks of you, my life will be in vain." After saying that, she smiled: "Qingyun, to be honest, I have liked you for no reason since I first met you. I have also paid attention to your affairs, and I know that you are very close to His Highness Prince Li, so I just want to tell you that I do not want to marry Prince Li, and I hope it will not cause any misunderstanding among you."

Shen Qingyun looked at the woman in front of him, with a sincere look in his gentle and watery eyes.

She also smiled sincerely, blinked, and asked softly: "Qianxue, if you want to talk to me, you shouldn't just talk about this matter."

Ji Qianxue covered her lips and smiled: "The one who knows me is Qingyun."

There was a bit of shyness on her face, like a lotus flower with dewdrops in the lake, and her voice lowered: "Actually, I have one more thing to ask for. I want to ask His Highness King Li to take care of someone on my behalf. I don't know, Qingyun, you Can you convey it to me?"

After saying that, he took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and placed them on the table.

Shen Qingyun's eyes were full of confusion and curiosity: "Who is he?"

"His name is Gu Shaoheng. When he was in the academy, he was talented and diligent. He was valued by my father and he was my father's disciple." When Ji Qianxue talked about this person, a light seemed to flash in her eyes, and then dimmed: "Seeing that It's almost autumn, but his mother is seriously ill and can't live without her. In order to take care of his mother, he gave up studying for the exam. I really feel sorry for him..."

Shen Qingyun tasted a special meaning in her expression and words, but did not point it out. He just asked: "Then what does this have to do with Prince Li?"

Ji Qianxue smiled with admiration in her eyes: "I'm afraid you don't know, Qingyun. I only found out about this after investigating. Prince Li has actually been using money to help the families of those soldiers. Gu Shaoheng's father was also a subordinate of Prince Li. A soldier who later died in battle, the prince gave their family a sum of money, which supported Gu Shaoheng to study in Beijing. Unfortunately, Gu's mother fell ill suddenly, and I couldn't directly come forward. "

Shen Qingyun was a little stunned for a moment. She carefully digested what Ji Qianxue said, and a soft spot in her heart seemed to be hit.

Si Moli's reputation on the battlefield has always been that of being cold-blooded and ruthless in killing people, but in fact, he turned out to be such a gentle person, but he just did all this silently and never mentioned it to anyone.

Shen Qingyun also understood what Ji Qianxue meant. It would be reasonable and reasonable for Si Moli to help, and Gu Shaoheng would accept it. But if Ji Qianxue directly did such a thing, I'm afraid it would be a lot of trouble, and in the end I'm afraid Self-defeating.

Shen Qingyun accepted the banknotes on the table and nodded to Ji Qianxue: "Don't worry, I will talk to the prince, and he will definitely agree to help."

There was a trace of gratitude in Ji Qianxue's eyes, and then she asked with some anxiety: "Qingyun, do you think what I did was wrong."

Shen Qingyun was silent for a long time.

As the daughter of the Imperial Tutor and the most talented woman praised by everyone in the capital, Ji Qianxue seems to have a prominent family background and a well-known talent, but at the same time she is also burdened with too many shackles. She will never fall in love with such a poor family. A student, let alone marry him.

If this matter spreads, it will only attract rumors and even ridicule and belittlement from people who do good things.

"It's just within the scope of one's ability. What's wrong with wanting to help the people you admire?" Shen Qingyun smiled faintly and lowered his voice: "Leave this matter to the prince. We are here today. It’s just a matter of drinking tea and chatting.”

"Qingyun, thank you." Ji Qianxue's voice choked up, and she quickly calmed down, with a gentle smile: "Speaking of which, I have always wanted to play a game of chess with you, and today I finally have the chance."

Shen Qingyun blinked and said playfully: "I can't ask for it."

Then someone was asked to put the chessboard on, and both of them were concentrating on it. You came and I went, losing and winning. If the maid hadn't come to remind them that it was getting late, I'm afraid they would have been able to play until night.

Before leaving, the two people's eyes met with admiration.

Shen Qingyun also quickly went to the palace to tell Si Moli about the matter.

After Si Moli heard this, he naturally would not refuse: "I accepted the banknote, leave this matter to me, he will definitely take the scientific examination smoothly. As for the origin of the money, if there is a chance in the future, I will also I will explain it clearly with Gu Shaoheng."

Shen Qingyun nodded and asked again: "Mo Li, have you come into contact with this Gu Shaoheng? What is his character like?"

Si Moli recalled some things and was about to praise Gu Shaoheng for his noble character, but he stopped talking and said, "You have a good heart. You are a person who knows how to repay kindness. Don't worry about anything else."

Seeing his little thoughts, Shen Qingyun smiled and said nothing. She just turned her head and whispered: "In my heart, of course no one can compare to you."

Si Moli raised his eyebrows with a deep smile in his eyes: "Qingyun, I didn't hear what you said clearly."

"I didn't say anything." Shen Qingyun coughed lightly and turned to leave, but Si Moli grabbed him.

His tone was soft, like a feather sliding over Shen Qingyun's heart: "Why does it take so long? I already want to marry the princess."

The tip of her heart trembled. Shen Qingyun was about to speak when she suddenly fell silent and lowered her head to drink tea.

Si Moli raised his eyes and looked over. The old housekeeper and the young guard were hiding behind the door. He quickly shrank back when he looked at Si Moli.

"Why don't you come out yet?" Si Moli said coldly, his voice seemed to have been tempered with ice.

The old housekeeper walked out resignedly, holding the newly baked snacks in his hand and smiled flatteringly: "Your Majesty, Miss Shen, these are the new ones from the palace... Oh no, the snacks made by the newly hired chef, Shen Miss, try it, does it suit your taste?"

Shen Qingyun accepted it with a smile, picked up a snack and took a bite. It was still hot from the oven, and she couldn't help but praise: "It's sweet but not greasy, and it's delicious. Thank you for taking the trouble."

The old housekeeper raised his beard proudly: "As long as Miss Shen likes it, as long as she likes it, haha."

Shen Qingyun ate some, and as usual, the old housekeeper packed up all the snacks she had eaten and put them in a food box, ready to take them back to her.
