CHAPTER XXIII

Return to Shen Mansion.

Shen Nian, Shen Qing and others got out of the car in turn.

"Goodbye, fairy sister." Gao Lingyu said with a small head peeking out of the carriage.

"Goodbye." Shen Nian greeted Gao Lingyu, and then glanced at Gao Lingyan, who had been looking at him, the tenderness in Gao Lingyan's eyes seemed to drown Shen Nian, Shen Nian's face flushed, and followed Shen Qing and the others into the Shen Mansion.

......

It's approaching evening

"Nian'er, this is your clothes for tomorrow." Shen Qing came to Shen Nian with a box.

Shen Nian put the book in his hand aside, stood up to greet Shen Qing, and took the box.

"Big brother sit." Shen Qing and Shen Nian sat opposite each other at the table.

Shen Nian opened the box, "Wow." Shen Nian took out the clothes and looked at them, they were really beautiful clothes, but this dress was not the kind of complicated, but the kind of solid color long skirt, but the skirt was dotted with unknown flowers, which was very much to his liking.

"Thank you, big brother." Shen Nian smiled sweetly at Shen Qing.

"Well, if only you liked it." Shen Qing rubbed Shen Nian's head.

"That's right, big brother." Shen Nian said suddenly.

"Huh?" Shen Qing didn't look up, and poured the tea slowly.

"Isn't it time for June?"

"That's right." Shen Qing put the poured glass of water in front of Shen Nian and continued to pour it for himself.

"Wouldn't that be a civil and martial arts test?" Shen Nian put the clothes back in the box and asked excitedly.

"That's right." Shen Qing took a sip of tea lightly and saw the excitement on Shen Nian's face, "Why are you so excited, you don't take the test." ”

"But you and your second brother will take the test." Shen Nian's eyes were full of excitement.

"Hmm. I took the martial arts test, and my second brother took the literature test. Shen Qing put down the teacup in his hand, "It is said that the examiner of this literary examination invited Mr. Li Jushi and Mr. Li." ”

"Li Lao? Shouldn't a senior official be the chief examiner? Shen Nian asked strangely.

"But the examiner only cares about the results of the test papers, and in fact, he doesn't care much about the discipline of the exam. I have been invited many times, but unfortunately they have been pushed. This time, Li Lao can be the chief examiner, and I think that the literary examination will definitely be full of talents. ”

"That's right." Shen Nian thought that Li Lao had always been a person of the same status as a "god" in the hearts of literati from all over the world.

The more I think about Shen Nian, the happier I become, and it will definitely be fun when the time comes.

Shen Qing looked at Shen Nian's appearance and knew what Shen Nian was thinking. Shaking his head gently, it seems that Nian'er's own temperament is still so naughty, the same as when she was a child, she hasn't changed at all, and it seems that she has been spoiled even more by Tianqingzi. Shen Qing chuckled.

"Big brother, what are you laughing at?" Shen Nian saw that Shen Qing had been shaking his head and laughing since just now, and asked strangely.

"I'm thinking, you, just like when you were a child, you still like to be lively and can't be idle."

"Hey, hey." Shen Nian stuck out his tongue.

"Alright, let's get some rest early." Shen Qing stood up and went together tomorrow. ”

"Hmm. Big brother too, rest well. Shen Nian also stood up and smiled at Shen Qing.

Shen Qing rubbed Shen Nian's head, smiled, and thought to himself, always rubbing Nian'er's head like this, what if Nian'er doesn't grow tall, forget it, it's not too low now. Well. Thinking about it, Shen Qing left.

Shen Nian sat down again, thinking about tomorrow's flower-viewing conference, hehe, it must be fun.

......

Day 2

Shen Nian walked ethereal from the courtyard to the door, and where he passed, the maid who was watering the flowers stopped watering the flowers, and the people who were sweeping the floor let go of the hand holding the broom, and everyone looked at Shen Nian with wide eyes.

Come to the gate

"Big brother and second brother." Shen Nian called lightly.

When Shen Qing and Shen Feng heard this, they turned around and saw Shen Nian wearing a long skirt and combing his hair in a fairy bun, looking really like a fairy.

"Big brother and second brother." Shen Nian shook his hand in front of the two of them, coming back to his senses.

The two were really stunned by Shen Nianmei.

Shen Feng looked serious, folded the fan, and pulled Shen Nian into the carriage, Shen Qing instantly understood what Shen Feng meant, and also hurriedly got into the car.

"What's wrong?" Shen Nian asked.

"Didn't you see that everyone outside was stunned?" Shen Feng took the folding fan and gently tapped Shen Nian's head.

Shen Nian stuck out his tongue, how could it be so exaggerated, cut.

But Shen Nian was faintly looking forward to it in his heart, and he didn't know if Brother Yan would like it when he saw it.

When I arrived at the palace, yes, this time it was still the palace, what kind of flower appreciation, to put it bluntly, I was looking for a daughter-in-law. Shen Nian secretly complained in his heart.

"Nian'er." A gentle, familiar voice rang out outside.

Shen Qing and Shen Feng grinded their teeth silently.

"Brother Yan." Shen Nian lifted the curtain and looked happy.

I saw that today's Gao Lingyan was wearing a purple robe, and he was not as handsome as a mortal.

"Come down." Gao Lingyan stretched out his hand.

"Hmm." Shen Nian gently put his hand on Gao Lingyan's hand and got out of the carriage.

The two stand together, like a natural pair, and no one can be separated.

Even Shen Qing and Shen Feng, who came down later, nodded secretly.

Shen Nian and Gao Lingyan walked into the palace side by side. The corners of Gao Lingyan's mouth turned up slightly. is to let others know that Nian'er can only stand by herself.

......

"Are you all ready?"

"Ready princess."

......

Shen Nian followed Gao Lingyan to the Imperial Garden, and today's flower-viewing meeting was held in the Imperial Garden. I saw that a lot of women had gathered in the imperial garden, and a few familiar ones gathered together to laugh. The richly dressed sons stood in the distance and chatted about poetry, but they secretly looked at the woman at this end, and their hearts were quietly full of calculations.

Shen Nian complained, isn't this a blind date meeting.

Shen Qing, Shen Feng and Shen Nian stood together, and Gao Lingyan and Shen Nian said a few words and left first.

"Ziqing Zifeng." Two men of the same age walked over and greeted Shen Qing and Shen Feng.

"Jun Wu, Xun Ting." Shen Qing and Shen Feng also greeted each other.

Shen Nian looked at the person who came, and saw that the two people were completely different types of men, one was full of activity and liveliness, and the other was full of the grace and bearing of a humble gentleman.

"Ziqing Zifeng, why did you come." Jun Wu, that is, the lively man, asked.

"If you don't come so early, people are just right." The man on the side, called Xunting, spoke.

"You ......" Jun Wu gritted his teeth and stared at the training court.

Xun Ting's face was full of indifference. It can be seen that the two have been getting along like this for a long time.

Poof, Shen Nian accidentally laughed, it was so funny.

"This is Miss Shen San?" The court saluted.

"Exactly." Shen Nian also returned a salute.

"In Shimobayashi Junwu. This is the Wind Training Court. Lin Junwu stopped laughing anymore and saluted.

"I'm thinking about it."

"Can I call you Nian'er?" Jun Wu said.

"Yes."

"Nian'er, the song you played with the Four Princes last time was really good." At this time, Jun Wu became lively and active again.

"Thanks for the compliment."

Hey. Jun Wu said that he liked this Shen Nian very much, not at all like other official women, she was shy endlessly.

"Nian'er, this Lin Junwu is the beloved son of Lord Shangshu Lin of the Ministry of Rites. This Jun Xunting is the son of General Feng. ”

Shen Nian nodded.

"You two can show me well, our little sister is our treasure." Shen Feng folded the fan and said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

At this time, I heard a burst of women laughing.

Shen Nian looked up at the source of the sound, only to see a woman in a pink palace dress walking over surrounded by several official women, followed by many palace maids and eunuchs.

"The pomp is still that big." Jun Wu raised his eyebrows and rolled his eyes.

"This is Princess Xizhao?" Although Shen Nian was in doubt, he was also sure in his heart.

Xi Zhao saw Shen Nian from a distance, to be precise, she was specifically looking for Shen Nian. Now that I came to see Shen Nian closely, I felt a deep jealousy in my heart, Xi Zhao was a princess, and her mother was Xi Guifei, who was favored by the emperor, and she was flattered by all kinds of people since she was a child. And what disgusted Xi Zhao the most was Shen Nian's peerless appearance.

Shen Nian felt Xizhao's gaze, and frowned, this is not like himself. However, Shen Nian was very happy in his heart, he was really bored these days, and as a fortune teller, he would not take the initiative to provoke, because he was most afraid of retribution. Others may think it's nothing, but the more skilled the fortune teller, the more they care about it. This time, some people wanted to take the initiative to commit crimes on their heads, and some played. Shen Nian said in his heart.

Xi Zhao saw that there was no Gao Lingyan next to Shen Nian, and he felt slightly better, maybe the prince didn't care about her so much, but it was just a rumor from those subordinates.

Xi Zhao turned his head again and saw Gao Lingyan, Xi Zhao walked over and greeted him familiarly, "Lord Wang." "Smiling and gentle.

Gao Lingyan didn't notice her at all, and walked directly towards Shen Nian.

Originally, seeing that Xi Zhao thought he was familiar with talking to Gao Lingyan, Shen Nian felt slightly uncomfortable in his heart, and frowned, this time you are guilty of me.

"Nian'er." Gao Lingyan walked straight towards Shen Nian. Ignoring the heewns.

Xi Zhao's face froze slightly, and he lowered his head and grabbed the handkerchief in his hand. He pretended not to care and stood up, glancing at a certain official woman who had just followed him.

The official woman was instructed and nodded quietly.

Then pretended to be casual but walked quickly towards Shen Nian.

Gao Lingyan frowned, which thing didn't know whether to live or die.

Shen Nian shook his head at Gao Lingyan. Gao Lingyan was helpless, and Nian'er's playfulness began again.

Jiang Yan'er walked towards Shen Nian, and when she was about to meet Shen Nian, Jiang Yan'er saw Shen Nian and fell down. Looking at Shen Nian who was close at hand, Shen Nian pretended not to see it, and when her footsteps turned, Jiang Yan'er didn't react, there was no Shen Nian in front of her, and she also fell to the ground.

"Brother Yan." Shen Nian used light power to leave quickly just now, pretending to still be slow to meet Gao Lingyan.

Gao Lingyan just wanted to say something.

Suddenly, a discordant voice sounded.

"Miss Shen, why are you pushing me?" Jiang Yan'er fell to the ground and accused Shen Nian.

Shen Nian turned his head in surprise, "This young lady, we are so far apart, I will push you?" Shen Nian asked, pointing to himself and pointing to his nose. "Don't you think that so many people around you are blind?" Shen Nian continued.

The surrounding official ladies all covered their mouths and laughed. Jiang Yan'er sat on the ground, her head lowered, her face flushed a lot, she felt that there were mocking eyes all around, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

"Get up." Then a gentle voice sounded.

Jiang Yan'er looked up with teary eyes, and saw that it was the crown prince Shangguan Hanao who stretched out his hand to her. Jiang Yan'er shyly put her hand into Shangguan Hanao's hand, "Thank you, prince." ”

"Miss Shen doesn't think it's insulting to the Shen family's tutor to bully people like this." Shangguan Hanao said after pulling Jiang Yan'er up, and didn't forget to look at this Jiang Yan'er's face, not bad. Moreover, Jiang Yan'er's appearance of being attached to herself is very proud of Shangguan. Since Shangguan Han was arrogant, all methods have been used, but none of them have worked. Today I decided to go out for a walk and see if it was a woman's problem, maybe it would be nice to change to a woman.

Poof, Shen Nian smiled, "The prince won't just come here, and he doesn't know anything and accuses me here." If I'm really wrong, why don't so many people around me say I'm not? ”

In fact, Shen Nian was right, Shangguan Hanao really just came, and when he saw Shen Nian, he wanted to trouble her.

Shen Nian saw that Shangguan Han was arrogant and didn't speak, smiled, and turned around and walked towards Gao Lingyan.

Gao Lingyan's face was already cold, there were so many things that didn't know whether to live or die. Hehe, the prince still doesn't seem to know what happened, so it's okay to make him happy again. As for this Jiang Yan'er, Gao Lingyan narrowed her eyes......

"Brother Yan." Shen Nian gently called Gao Lingyan.

Gao Lingyan immediately burst into the spring breeze.

"Nian'er, the cherry blossom viewing meeting is about to start, take a seat."

"Hmm." Saying that, Gao Lingyan took Shen Nian to the seat belonging to Shen Nian.

"The queen has arrived." At this time, a sharp voice sounded.

"See the Queen, Queen Chitose Chitose Chitose." The crowd shouted.

Shen Nian rolled his eyes when he knelt down, kneeling and kneeling, how long has it been since he came back, and how many times has he knelt here.

When he looked up and saw Gao Lingyan, he rolled his eyes again, Brother Yan is so good, he has the emperor's will, and he can see that he doesn't kneel.

Gao Lingyan knew what Shen Nian was thinking as soon as he looked at Shen Nian's two white eyes. I really began to think about how Nian'er could not kneel.

"Flat." The queen sat on the main seat, full of majesty.

"Empress Xie." The crowd stood up.

"Don't be restrained. Today's protagonist is not me, it's Xizhao. The queen's face was a loving mother, and Xi Zhao covered her mouth and smiled shyly. I don't know how to think these two people are biological.

Xi Zhao stepped forward and saluted, "The queen mother said with a smile. After speaking, he said to everyone, "Today are all talented children in the capital." Everyone makes friends with their talents, don't be constrained. After speaking, he glanced in a certain direction.

At this time, four women walked out, "Queen Chitose Chitose, Princess Wan'an." "Salute.

"How?" Heezhao asked, pretending to be puzzled.

"A few sisters and I saw the ensemble of Miss Shen San and the four princes on the emperor's birthday a few days ago, so Miss Shen San became the first talented woman in the capital. My four sisters are not talented, thinking that the first talented woman in the capital should be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Today, the four of my sisters want to compete with Miss Shen San with 'piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting'. ”

"Oh? Who is this Miss Shen San?" Heezhao pretended not to know about the person and asked strangely.

"The princess doesn't know that it is the one who had a conflict with Jiang Yan'er, the young lady of the Jiang family, just now." The woman in yellow said.

Xi Zhao covered his mouth and smiled, "I had a cold a few days ago, and my father, Emperor Longen, allowed me not to go to his birthday, so I really haven't seen the 'ensemble' you say, and the minions in the palace are too, and they don't tell me about this kind of thing." Xi Zhao pretended to be unhappy, but the smugness in his eyes betrayed his mood. Look, no one takes this kind of thing seriously at all, I wanted to give Shen Nian a dismount, and show her how much he was favored by the emperor, but I didn't expect Shen Nian to care about this movement at all.

Shen Nian rolled his eyes silently.

"Even so, then you can try." Heezhao said and sat down in his seat.

"Princess Xie." Four women saluted.

saw that Shen Nian didn't pay attention to them at all, but looked at the flowers next to him, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes.

Everyone saw that Shen Nian didn't come out, so they all looked at Shen Nian, but they were attracted by Shen Nian, who was quiet at this time, and their breathing was lightened, for fear of startling the beauty.

Gao Lingyan just wanted to take Shen Nian back to the mansion and not let anyone see it. Noticing that so many people were looking at Shen Nian, Gao Lingyan looked surprised.

Xi Zhao frowned and looked at the people who were attracted by Shen Nian, and he was very angry in his heart. said loudly: "Miss Shen San doesn't want to resist the decree."

Shen Nian chuckled in his heart, idiot. But he turned his head as if he had just heard, his eyes were slightly open, and he looked at Xizhao strangely, only to find that everyone was looking at him, and he blushed slightly and lowered his head.

It's so troublesome to be a lady. Shen Nian, who bowed his head and gently, shouted loudly in his heart.

Everyone was once again amazed by Shen Nian's cute appearance.

Shen Nian got up and saluted, "I don't know whose will Nian'er is resisting." ”

A woman dressed in purple stood up and explained to Shen Nian: "Miss Shen San, these people want to ask you for advice on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they asked the princess just now, and the princess agreed."

"That's right." Xi Zhao said. "It's just that you want to refuse." said that Shen Nian made his princess majesty.

Shen Nian rolled his eyes in his heart, what is this? Use Majesty? Which master in the martial arts is not as majestic as this. Shen Nian didn't care at all.

Keep pretending.

"Oh? Just now, I saw that the flowers in the Imperial Garden were blooming, and I was attracted to it. I lost my mind for a while. But. Shen Nian paused for a moment before continuing: "Since you want to compete with me, why don't you tell me and ask the princess about her wishes." Isn't it?" Shen Nian didn't continue, but just pretended to bow his head aggrievedly, causing many talented people around him to be saddened, feeling that the princess and the others were the bad guys who jointly bullied Shen Nian, and they all wanted to help the beautiful woman standing in the field to come out.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hee Zhao asked angrily and loudly.

Compared with Shen Nian's Chu Chu Keren, Xi Zhao at this time is more like a shrew.

The queen who was sitting on the side frowned, since the last time her own prince failed to design Shen Nian, she has been in all kinds of troubles recently, whether it is related to Shen Nian or not, the queen is disgusted with Shen Nian. However, if the queen knew that these things were really related to them offending Shen Nian, I am afraid that she would not dare to trouble Shen Nian again.

"Miss Shen San, don't you dare." The Huangshan woman asked aggressively.

Jun Wu just wanted to stand up and help Shen Nian speak, but Xun Ting put his hand on Jun Wu's lap and asked Jun Wu to calm down. I didn't look at Shen Nian's sisters and brothers, they all looked calm, what are you anxious about.

Jun Wu looked at Shen Qing and Shen Feng with confidence, and smiled in his heart, it seems that Xizhao and they are going to steal chickens and rice.

That's right, everyone present can see that this is just Shang Xizhao and they are deliberately making trouble for Shen Nian. But because Xizhao is a princess, there is no exit. And Shen Qing, Shen Feng, and Gao Lingyan believe in Shen Nian.
