After dinner, Ye Zhen originally wanted to take Shen Yuanhe to take a closer look, but Shen Yuanhe pointed the finger at Shen Xian and said that he wanted to check whether her homework had been missed, so Shen Xian was taken to the study alone.

Sitting in front of the desk, he looked at Shen Yuanhe dejectedly, pretending to be pitiful and said: "Brother, why did you think about embarrassing Ruan Ruan just after you came back?"

Shen Yuanhe chuckled and casually glanced at the books and paintings in the study. Suddenly his eyes fixed on a scroll of pictures that looked a little old. He stretched out his hands and frowned.

"Is this... a picture of a mountain?"

Shen Xian suddenly looked at Shen Yuanhe nervously, and wanted to get up and take it back, but her brother looked at her with an inquiring expression and tilted his head guiltily.

Shen Yuanhe: "I remember this picture was collected by King Xuan, you..."

"I just borrowed it for a look and want to return it! Brother, please be careful and don't damage it."

Seeing her expression, Shen Yuanhe became enlightened. He slowly put away the scroll and said, as if unintentionally: "Prince Xuan has always been a cold-blooded person. I can lend you the picture. I wonder if there is something special about Ruan Ruan Ding."

Shen Xian coughed lightly and pursed her lips without saying a word.

Is being particularly shameless considered exceptional?

Shen Yuanhe came over and saw that she was blushing. He sat beside her with a half-smile, and suddenly said: "You still know how to blush? Your deeds have spread to the academy, and my daughter's family doesn't know how to restrain themselves."

Then he said: "What if King Xuan feels that you are too bold and unrestrained and are frightened?"

Shen Xian said without thinking: "If he doesn't like me because of this, it only means that King Xuan is not as courageous as a young woman like me. And if a man feels disgusted because a woman is not reserved enough, then this Men are not good matches either, and I, Shen Xian, don’t care about them either.”

Shen Yuanhe saw the proud look in her eyes unconsciously, reached out and patted her head, and said softly: "Okay, Ruan Ruan, just go ahead and do it, brother will be your backing."

Shen Xian immediately smiled.

She has known since she was a child that her brother Shen Yuanhe is the best brother in the world and the most protective brother. When he was bullied when he was a child, he doesn't care who is right or wrong. He only knows that whoever bullies his sister must pay the price. .

Therefore, Shen Xian also listened to his words very much. As long as what Shen Yuanhe said, it was much more useful than what Zhong Yuan said.

But I don't know what Zhong Yuan said to Shen Yuanhe. Shen Yuanhe came to Qingshui Residence every day for the past five days to look at her, and he couldn't even go out to look for Shi Ling.

The next time I left home was to take Shen Yuanhe to Gongyuan.

In the carriage, Ye Zhen kept blessing him to take good care of himself, and Shen Yuanhe accepted it with a smile.

Ye Zhen: "You tell me, it's inappropriate for a good prince to leave you alone. He insists on taking the imperial examination. Why should our family do this?"

Shen Yuanhe knew that his mother felt sorry for him, but he still frowned and explained: "Mom, my son doesn't want his ambition to be buried, and he doesn't want others to say that he relies on his family to achieve this honor. Indeed, if I accept it calmly, It will be easy for my father to get a title, but my son is not willing to accept it."

Ye Zhen looked at him and sighed.

She just watched her son studying hard year after year, studying away from home for so many years, and only seeing each other a handful of times. She felt sorry for her son and regretted that she could not take good care of him.

Shen Xian smiled proudly and said: "With my brother's talent, I will definitely be able to go to high school! I don't think anyone in Kyoto can be my brother's opponent."

Shen Yuanhe smiled and said: "Thank you very much Ruan Ruan Jiyan."

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage stopped at the gate of Gongyuan.

They went out early in the morning, but the gate of Gongyuan was already full of people. There were many imperial guards standing at the entrance of the majestic Gongyuan. The scholars did not dare to make any mistakes, so they lined up quietly and entered one by one.

"Mom, Ruan Ruan, there are too many people in front of you and it's inconvenient for you to pass. I can just go by myself."

Ye Zhen raised her head and looked in front of her, and saw that there was indeed a sea of ​​people there, so she took Shen Yuanhe's hand and said a few words before reluctantly letting go.

Seeing this, Shen Xian couldn't help but said: "Mom, brother, I'm going to the Tribute Court, not to the execution ground. You don't have to worry so much, right?"

"What unlucky words are you talking about? Bah! It's not unlucky at all."

Shen Xian stuck out her tongue.

"Ruan Ruan!"

The sound came from the noisy crowd. Shen Xian looked around for a long time and saw Zhong Mingyue rushing out of the crowd and running towards this side, followed by Zhong Mingqi.

The two ran over and saw Ye Zhen immediately smiling and shouting: "Auntie."

"Mingyue, Mingqi, why are you here?"

"My brother is participating in martial arts, and I'm here to see him off."

Shen Xian was startled: "My cousin wants to participate in martial arts? So powerful."

Zhong Mingqi scratched the back of his head shyly, but Zhong Mingyue looked excited and wanted to pull Shen Xian away. Ye Zhen also knew Zhong Mingyue's temperament and helplessly watched them getting further and further away from her.

Zhong Mingqi was standing in front of the martial arts team, and suddenly turned around and stared at Shen Xian, looking nervous and wanting to say something.

Shen Xian smiled and blessed: "Come on, cousin."

"Well! I will definitely work hard, Ruan Ruan... when the time comes, you will..."

Zhong Mingyue frowned: "Okay, the door is almost closed, let's go in!" After saying that, she pulled Shen Xian and left.

Zhong Mingqi looked at the backs of the two of them depressedly and cursed in his heart: "Aren't you here to give him a gift? Let's give him a gift instead!"

Zhong Mingyue hadn't seen Shen Xian for several days, and happily took her to go to the market. Shen Xian was also being detained at home, so she was naturally happy to have a good time now.

There were too many people at the gate of Gongyuan and it was crowded. The two of them had just walked for a while when Shen Xian was suddenly knocked down by a man in brocade clothes.

Fortunately, Zhong Mingyue had quick eyes and hands to help Shen Xian. She raised her head and was about to curse, but the man in front of her looked more and more familiar. Shen Xian turned around and her eyes widened.

The person in front of them looked at the two of them in surprise, as if they did not expect to meet them, and quickly covered their faces with their sleeves and ran away.

Zhong Mingyue twitched her lips and looked at Shen Xian: "The one just now seemed to be... the fifth princess!?"

"It doesn't seem like it, that is."

Who else but Shi Ying could create that innocent, helpless, willful and irrational expression?

Zhong Mingyue pursed her lips without paying much attention. Anyway, they had not been close to Shi Ying since they were young. What she wanted to do when she ran out of the palace had nothing to do with them.

He just said to Shen Xian in a funny way: "A few days ago, I heard that her marriage was robbed by one of her companions. It really made me laugh to death."

"Well, I'm right there."

"Ah? Real or fake?"

"Really, it's just that that couple is shameless."

Zhong Mingyue liked chatting with Shen Xian about these family gossips the most. The two of them walked away without realizing it, and they didn't realize that anyone was looking at them in the teahouse not far away.

Shi Yanyuan withdrew his eyes, shook his golden and jade folding fan and couldn't help but glance at Shi Ling, and said with a smile: "I asked why the emperor had to come here to talk about things. It turns out that sister A Xian is here, oh, it's also There is sister Mingyue."

Shi Ling frowned and couldn't help but glance at him.

"With eyes so bright, how can you change your brain?"
