But Shen Yao smiled with a lot of worries.

After she came out of Qingshui Residence, she had been thinking deeply, and her heart was entangled, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn.

At this moment, Aunt Wei was looking through the portraits of famous young talents in Kyoto City. When she saw her coming back, she immediately waved and said, "Yao'er, come and take a look. These are all children of well-known families."

Shen Yao just took one look and turned away in disgust.

"But they are just common people."

Aunt Wei thought she wanted to confront her, so she slammed the portrait on the table and said loudly: "What's wrong with the common people? It's better than not having enough to eat and being looked down upon by others. Don't pretend to be noble all day long. You only have Only if I marry your mother well can I get ahead!"

"Look at how I live here, looking at Ye Zhen's face every day. If I hadn't given birth to you, would I be like this? Your father is unreliable, you must give me a good face!"

When she was in the other hospital, her mother's scoldings were even worse than they are now, but she endured them one by one, and now she can only endure them.

Because that was her mother, the only person who stayed with her when she was seriously ill and about to die.

She cried and raised her head, reaching out to pull her mother's sleeve: "Mom, I know, I won't embarrass you, but I already have... someone I like in my heart."

Aunt Wei's expression suddenly changed, she raised Shen Yao's chin and asked sternly: "Who is it! If it is some poor student or common people, you should give up this idea as soon as possible!"

Shen Yao shook her head: "Yes... His Highness Prince Xuan

Aunt Wei was startled, she pulled back her hand and stared at Shen Yao strangely, wondering: "King Xuan? Didn't he have a fierce fight with Shen Xian? When did you meet him?"

Shen Yao blushed.

"That time when I went to the Guoxiang Temple to give porridge with my second sister, I got lost in the temple. Your Majesty was kind enough to take me out, and later I saw another opportunity."

He lowered his head and said, "I heard from Second Sister today that they seemed to have a quarrel. Anyway... Second Sister is not married to him, and I, I also want to fight for it."

Aunt Wei rolled her eyes, suddenly feeling that her stupid daughter had finally come to her senses.

Listening to what she meant, Shi Ling didn't resent Shen Yao, and even took the initiative to help her once, which proved that there was a chance.

If Shen Yao becomes Princess Xuan, then she will be King Xuan’s biological mother, the Holy Emperor’s biological mother!

"Okay! Mother will definitely help you plan well, just do it."

Shen Yao raised her head in surprise and threw herself into her mother's arms: "Thank you, mother!"

The next day, people from the Criminal Department said they had found clues to the bandits appearing in the paddock. Although the Holy Father repeatedly said that he would not be allowed to participate in this matter and that he should have a good rest, Shi Ling did not want to rest at all now.

He wanted to keep himself busy so that his mind would not be filled with thoughts about that woman Shen Xian.

A few days ago, he cleaned all the weapons in the mansion and read the books he had read before. The original plan today was to check the training results of the Golden Guards and train them more.

News just happened to come from the Ministry of Punishment that the Jin Guard had escaped, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Ling originally wanted to wear the black clothes he usually wore today, but his mind suddenly twitched when he thought that Shi Yu seemed to always like to wear white clothes.

"A Feng, find me a white coat."

Ah Feng subconsciously agreed. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly realized what he was saying. He was shocked and said, "Master, where did you get the white clothes? Didn't you say that it's hard to clean up white clothes if they are stained with blood?"

Shi Ling: "...won't you look for it? The legs are just decorations, right?"

"…yes."

When Ah Feng finally found white clothes, Shi Ling put on the clothes but frowned in disgust: "It's like going to the funeral of a dead person. What's so good about it?"

Ah Feng cursed in his heart, isn’t that what you want to wear yourself?

Shi Ling turned to look at him: "I would like to ask you, does this look better on me or on the third prince?"

"ah?"

Ah Feng rolled his eyes in panic and said hesitantly: "Of course it is you, the prince! How can the third prince be as tall, mighty and handsome as his master?"

Shi Ling's brows relaxed slightly.

He straightened his sleeves unnaturally before stepping out of the room.

Ah Feng felt that he could not guess what his master was thinking today. When had he ever cared about what he was wearing?

When Shi Ling just walked to the door, his subordinate suddenly came to report in a hurry: "Your Majesty, Miss Shen's family is here to visit and she said she has something to give you."

Shen Xian?

Shi Ling's fingers trembled unconsciously.

He thought that someone like Shen Xian would never come to him again after suffering so much humiliation that day, but he didn't expect that she would come to him again.

Are you here to apologize? Or...

He wanted to refuse, but the words on his lips turned into: "Where?"

"Outside hall."

Shi Ling strode towards the outer hall with long strides.

It was only a few steps to the outer hall, but Shi Ling was inexplicably anxious, and Ah Feng had to walk a few steps before catching up with his master.

Ah Feng: Who is cold and who is cold?

When he reached the door of the outer hall, Shi Ling suddenly stopped, his face returned to a cold and ruthless look, and he stepped in with his hands behind his back.

He deliberately didn't look at anyone, pretending to ignore her, and slowly turned his head when he sat down.

Then he paused, his heart still sinking into the cold pool.

Shen Yao originally had no hope that Shi Ling would meet her, but she didn't expect that not only would he come, he would even change out of his usual Xuanyi and wear her favorite Yueya White.

The amazement in her eyes could not be restrained for a long time.

"Who are you?" Shi Ling said.

Shen Yao was stunned, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

Shi Ling actually didn't remember her? But...but if he didn't remember, how could he let her into the house?

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is really good at joking. I am Shen Yao, the third girl from Duke Dingguo's mansion. We have met several times."

Shi Ling frowned, and now he remembered that she was Shen Xian's concubine.

He suddenly felt unhappy and said impatiently: "Looking for me?"

His tone was not good, and Shen Yao was a little scared, but she couldn't just leave even though she was here, so she smiled and hurriedly delivered the longevity noodles she had brought.

He said with a shy tone: "I know that today is the prince's birthday, so I came here to give him a bowl of longevity noodles. I hope that the prince... will live a long life and have success every year."

Shi Ling didn't even look at the bowl of longevity noodles.

Sternly: "I never eat longevity noodles, take them away."

Shen Yao was startled.

The hand holding the bowl trembled slightly, and his words suddenly sounded crying: "I, I don't know, I just want to make the prince happy, and I want to do something for you..."

Shi Ling sneered, holding his head with his hand, and seemed to think of something through her.

"Are you Shen girls so pretentious? My elder sister has superb acting skills and my younger sister is pretentious. Duke Shen is so lucky."

Shen Yao was frightened when she heard this, and her tears fell uncontrollably.

I wanted to defend myself but found that my throat felt like it was blocked.

Shi Ling didn't want to look at her again, as if she was an eyesore, and immediately looked away: "How long do you want to stay here, young lady?"

"I, I'm leaving right away..."

Shen Yao finally ran out of Prince Xuan's Mansion in tears. The bowl of noodles was deliberately left behind, but the next second she left the mansion, someone took it out and stuffed it into her arms.

Don't give her any chance.
