CHAPTER XXV

The crowd was startled by this loud scolding. Shangguan Hansu heard that Shen Nian was competing with others here, so he also came to take a look, and as soon as he sat down, he heard someone scolding his sister.

Shen Nian raised his eyebrows, yo, it worked, I didn't expect it to be so exciting.

Everyone saw that Wang Zixin in the field seemed to have collapsed.

Wang Zixin scolded: "Xizhao, you slut, you just rely on your identity as a princess, just make a fortune, let us compete with Shen Nian, if we lose, you will make us worse off than dead." Hehehe, you slut, in order to let me carry that 'return to the country', you actually beat me. Aren't you just a princess, what are you? ”

Everyone in the audience was in an uproar. Xi Zhao's face turned pale.

Wang Zixin walked a few steps to Xizhao, "You also gave me the potion and let me use it on Shen Nian." Did you use this when you hurt others? Hehehe, just a person like you, what a thing. ”

Everyone didn't think about why Wang Zixin spoke like this, but looked at Xi Zhaodu with disdain.

Xi Zhao looked panicked, looking at everyone, she didn't dare to look at Gao Lingyan, she was afraid that Gao Lingyan would also look disdainful. But she obviously thought too much, Gao Lingyan didn't care about her at all, she didn't care about anything.

"Come on, don't take down this woman for me." Although Shangguan Hansu doesn't like Xizhao, she is also her own sister, how can she let others say this, and directly order the guards to take down Wang Zixin.

Wang Zixin struggled to be dragged away, "Let go of me, let go of me, let go of me." ”

Shen Nian looked at Wang Zixin who was dragged away, and there was no fluctuation in his heart, poor people must have something to hate, nothing to be pitied.

Xi Zhao sat on the chair, not only did he lose the competition today, but he was also exposed by Wang Zixin, and Xi Zhao's face turned pale.

The queen looked at Xi Zhao without saying a word, and gloating flashed in her eyes, heh, it's a pity that Concubine Xi is not here today.

Everyone originally saw that this was a game that Xi Zhao and they jointly gave to Shen Nian, but they didn't expect Shen Nian to be so talented, and in the eyes of everyone, Shen Nian was already like a "god-like" woman.

"Princess." Shen Nian walked in front of the person at this time and bowed to Xi Zhaoyingying.

Xizhao raised her head and looked at Shen Nian with bloodshot eyes, what else did she want to do.

"I want to compete with the princess." Shen Nian said slowly.

Xi Zhao gritted his teeth and did not speak.

"Don't princesses dare?" Shen Nian raised her head slightly, she wanted others to know that she was not so easy to bully.

The queen naturally won't say anything at the moment, she doesn't like Shen Nian, but she won't help Concubine Xi's children. Naturally, at this moment, he and the eldest prince are happy to watch a good show.

"Presumptuous." The big palace maid next to Xi Zhao pointed at Shen Nian and said.

"Presumptuous? I just want to compete with the princess, why am I presumptuous? Today's flower viewing meeting was originally to make friends with talents, and there is something wrong with Nian'er. Shen Nian looked innocent, and he wanted to vomit blood when he saw the ground.

"Miss Shen San's talent is naturally known to everyone, so why bother to compete with this palace." Xi Zhao gritted his teeth and said word by word.

"Oh? I heard that Princess Xizhao is also a talented girl, and we make friends with our talents, so we have to compete. Shen Nian continued.

"Presumptuous, you are a little official woman who dares to question the princess." The big palace maid next to Xi Zhao scolded loudly.

Shen Nian raised his head, and his gentle and waveless eyes instantly became smart, "You are presumptuous." Shen Nian unleashed his coercion. The palace maid only felt like facing the emperor, which made people breathless, and the raised hand seemed so empty.

"Little official girl? Our Shen family, first of all, said that my grandfather was a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he was conscientious for the Eastern Dynasty, and then my father Shen Xing was a general who was personally appointed by the emperor of the Eastern Dynasty, and my mother was the wife of the first emperor, but you said that I was just a little official girl. You are just a palace maid, today, at this flower-viewing meeting, the little female disciples of the official family in your mouth, their father and their eldest brother are all ministers who have done their best for the Eastern Dynasty and have died, and you are a little palace maid who dare to say this about us. At the very least, you are the son of an insulting minister, and you are guilty of the following; To put it mildly, you just want to shake the foundation of the country. Slowly, Shen Nian spoke again, "Could it be that you have instructions from the person behind you?"

The palace maid had already begun to tremble, and her back was covered with sweat.

"Someone." Gao Lingyan spoke.

"Pull down this palace maid who is guilty of insulting the minister's son."

"Yes." There were guards who stepped forward to suppress the big palace maid.

"Princess, help me, save me, save me." The palace maid asked Xi Zhao for help, but Xi Zhao herself was at a loss now, she didn't expect Shen Nian to buckle such a big hat on a palace maid.

"Lord Wang, this is not appropriate." The queen spoke, no matter what, this is also a royal matter, how can a king with a foreign surname be involved.

"Oh?" Gao Lingyan took a sip of tea, "The queen is the one behind it." ”

"You." The queen was angry, but she didn't say anything.

Gao Lingyan's power in the court is very high, and it can be said that if Gao Lingyan can be pulled as a helper, then the next emperor will be decided.

The queen stopped talking, she didn't want to offend Gao Lingyan for a palace maid.

"Miss Shen San, spare me, I just said the wrong thing for a while, spare me." The palace maid knew that it was useless to ask for Xizhao at this time, so she knelt down and begged Shen Nian.

Shen Nian didn't even look at the palace maid, turned around and walked to his seat.

The big palace maid was pulled down. Xi Zhao was sweating all over, and his face turned even paler with fright.

The queen snorted and left. But the mood is very good, it seems that Gao Lingyan has a lot of relationship with Shen Nian, this omen offended Shen Nian, and it is impossible for Concubine Xi to form an alliance with Gao Lingyan. Shangguan Hanao also glanced at Shangguan Hansu with a look of pride and disdain, and then followed the queen away.

Hee Zhao sat in his chair and said nothing. Shangguan Hansu sighed, he had already told her that this kind of temperament would harm her, and he still didn't believe it. Shangguan Hansu ordered people to leave with Xizhao.

The crowd watched a few of them leave, and they began to be active again. After all, not everyone can marry the royal family, or find a favorite among the minister's children.

Shen Nian sat back in his seat, and Shen Feng poured a cup of tea for Shen Nian, "Nian'er is thirsty." ”

"Hmm. Thank you, second brother. Shen Nian smiled sweetly.

"Wow, Nian'er, you were so powerful just now." Jun Wu looked at Shen Nian with admiration.

Shen Nian looked at Jun Wu as if he was looking at a fool, Xun Ting looked at Shen Nian's eyes at Jun Wu, and the corners of his mouth twitched, how could this person know that he was embarrassed.

A few women from the official family gathered over, and some wanted to talk to Shen Qing and Shen Fengjun Wu Xunting, but most of them wanted to talk to Shen Nian. Today, it can be said that Shen Nian will be famous in the capital, and the name of the first talented woman in the capital is none other than Shen Nian.

There were men who wanted to talk to Shen Nian, but they all saw Gao Lingyan's maintenance of Shen Nian just now, and the interaction between the two, and those who were not stupid could see that Gao Lingyan liked Shen Nian, but they didn't see that Gao Lingyan disposed of all the palace maids next to the princess for Shen Nian, who dared to think anything wrong about Shen Nian.

Xie Daoyou, who was in the distance, put down the teacup, and the good show was gone, "Let's go." ”

Xie Daolan didn't say anything, and followed Xie Daoyou, but the light in his eyes flickered, Xie Daoyou glanced at Xie Daolan, as if he didn't see it.

Soon, there was laughter in the imperial garden again, and Shen Nian looked around, it was really good to be young.

......

Shen Nian was called away by Gao Yao before leaving. Shen Nian said to Shen Qing and the others that they didn't have to wait for her, they would go back first, so as not to worry their father and mother, and then Gao Lingyan waited for Shen Nian. Shen Nian followed Gao Yao and left.

Everyone looked at Shen Nian, who was taken away by Gao Yao, and whispered. It's not that the emperor is angry and wants to be angry for his daughter.

Shen Nian followed Gao Yao to the imperial study, and as soon as Shen Nian entered, he saw Shangguan Zhifei sitting behind the desk and commenting on the recital.

Gao Yao saluted to Shangguan Zhifei, "Your Majesty, Miss Shen has brought it." ”

Shangguan Zhifei waved his hand.

Gao Yao saluted, "Yes." Then he left, and closed the door by the way, leaving Shen Nian and Shangguan Zhifei in the house.

Shen Nian stood in the room, and Shangguan Zhifei criticized the folds.

Shen Nian turned his head to look around the room. Shangguan Zhifei secretly looked up at Shen Nian, who was watching the room, his eyes were full of pampering.

But when Shen Nian looked over, Shangguan Zhifei immediately lowered his head.

"Your Majesty." Shen Nian spoke slowly.

"Hmm." Shangguan Zhifei pretended to be serious. "How?"

"You've been reading this chapter for a long time." Shen Nian spoke.

"Ahem." Shangguan Zhifei was choked by Shen Nian.

Shangguan Zhifei glanced up at Shen Nian with a sad face, and put the folds together, indeed, let Gao go and call Shen Nian until now, it is true that he didn't see any twists and turns.

"You taught Hee Zhao a lesson today?" Shangguan Zhifei asked.

"Guess." Shen Nian said with a wink.

"Uh." Shangguan Zhifei raised his head, "I guess?"

"This is the Imperial Palace, how can there be something you don't know?" Shen Nian spread his hands.

Shangguan Zhifei was happy with Shen Nian's praise.

What else did Shangguan Zhifei want to say. Shen Nian walked up directly.

Took something out of the purse, "Here you go." Shen Nian handed it directly to Shangguan Zhifei.

Shangguan Zhifei took it with a strange expression, "What is this?" I saw that it was a small box.

"Open it and take a look." Shen Nian blinked his big eyes and said happily.

Shangguan Zhifei opened it and found that it was a pill.

"This can cure all kinds of poisons. It is also good to carry it on your body on a regular basis. "Shen Nian originally wanted to find a chance to meet Shangguan Zhifei today and give him this newly developed pill, but this time he had the opportunity, so he naturally gave it to him quickly.

“...... Does anyone else have that? Shangguan Zhifei touched his nose and asked.

"No, this one was developed specifically for you." Shen Nian put his hands behind his back and looked happy.

Shangguan Zhifei said that he was very happy after listening to it. Originally, he didn't call Shen Nianlai to train her for Xizhao's affairs, Shangguan Zhifei, who was already looking for excuses, finally found an opportunity to blatantly find Shen Nian. Unexpectedly, Shen Nian also brought a gift to himself. Shangguan Zhifei happily couldn't.

"How's it going?" After asking Shangguan Zhifei, he immediately felt that this was not what he should ask as an emperor, and immediately changed his words, "What do I mean is Shen Aiqing's health?"

"Father goes to court every day, doesn't Your Majesty know?" Shen Nian tilted his head and asked.

Eccentric, Shangguan Zhifei looked at Shen Nian's appearance, and a figure of a person appeared in his mind, and that person was also like this, he liked to look at himself like this, smiling and looking forward to his beautiful eyes.

Shen Nian looked at Shangguan Zhifei's nostalgic expression, and vaguely guessed what Shangguan Zhifei was thinking, Shen Nian didn't say anything, just looked at Shangguan Zhifei blankly, and quietly released the emotions in his eyes.

Shen Nian didn't stay too long this time and left, and he was rewarded when he left. Many official women knew that Shen Nian was not only not triggered by the emperor but was rewarded, and they didn't dare to offend Shen Nian, but this is a later story.

Shen Nian walked out of the imperial study, and when he was about to enter, he saw his emperor holding a small box and laughing stupidly. The corners of Gao Yao's mouth twitched.

......

Shen Nian walked out of the imperial study and came to the gate of the palace, and saw Gao Lingyan beside the carriage and a woman in pink dressing something.

The two of them were talking and laughing, Shen Nian saw who the woman was, and there was joy on his face, and he walked over quickly.

Feng Nanmin turned around, "Nian'er." ”

"Minmin." Shen Nian greeted happily.

Feng Nanmin was the only female playmate Shen Nian knew when he was a child, because Feng Nanmin's brother Feng Nanliu and Gao Lingyan were friends, and he became friends with Feng Nanmin.

"Long time no see." Feng Nanmin said happily. At this time, Feng Nanmin and the woman who competed with him on the field just now seemed to be two people.

"Long time no see." Shen Nian said.

"Why didn't Brother Nanliu see it today?" Shen Nian asked.

Feng Nanmin bit his lower lip, "You just came back, I don't know yet, my eldest brother went out a few years ago and met a bandit and fell off a cliff, and then ......"

Shen Nian frowned, his eyes were full of incredulity, so talented, kind and gentle Brother Nanliu died.

Feng Nanmin took Shen Nian's hand, they had a good relationship when they were children, Shen Nian's reaction now is the same as his original reaction, he can imagine Shen Nian's feelings now, holding Shen Nian's hand without saying a word.

"What about Sister Chaoyang?" Shen Nian asked. Princess Chaoyang is the daughter of the queen and the eldest sister of the crown prince Shangguan Hanao, who has been a childhood sweetheart with Feng Nanliu since she was a child, and later Gao Lingyan said in her heart that the two became relatives, but she did not tell Shen Nian about Feng Nanliu's death, for fear that Shen Nian would be too sad. I haven't had a chance to say it since I came back, so Shen Nian only knew.

"Sister-in-law, she's moved to the temple now." Feng Nanmin said with a little choked up.

Shen Nian gritted his teeth, how could this be. Sister Chaoyang likes Brother Nanliu so much, how sad she is when she knows the news.

On the horse-drawn carriage on the return trip

Gao Lingyan hugged Shen Nian, and Shen Nian sobbed quietly, "How can this be." ”

Feng Nanmin also went back in the Feng family's carriage, and the two made an appointment to meet more in the future.

Gao Lingyan pondered for a moment and said: "The south flow is indeed falling off the cliff, and there is a turbulent river at the bottom, I sent people to look for it along the river, but I didn't find it."

"How could Brother Nanliu encounter such a thing? What about the Feng family's guards? Shen Nian looked up at Gao Lingyan. Looking at Gao Lingyan's expression, Shen Nian frowned, "Isn't it an ordinary bandit robber?"

"It was the Queen's doing."

"Queen? Does Sister Chaoyang know? ”

"Yes."

"It is said that Sister Chaoyang will leave the Feng family and go to the temple." Shen Nian's heart hurts, why is this happening.

Sister Chaoyang is so sad that her mother killed her favorite husband.

...... Many days later

The second floor of the tea house

"Nian'er, you try this refreshment, it's new, it's delicious." Feng Nanmin's face was round.

"Poof, look at what you're eating." Shen Nian looked at Feng Nanmin like this and smiled.

"Slightly." Feng Nanmin stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes.

Shen Nian turned his head to look at the teahouse, the cultural and martial arts test of the Eastern Dynasty was about to begin, and many people had come to the capital of the Eastern Dynasty in the past few days. Shen Nian looked at all kinds of people on the street.

Feng Nanmin pulled the handle and pulled the slag on his hand to the ground, "Brother Qing's martial arts test, Brother Feng's literary test?" Asked after two sips of tea.

"yes. The second brother hasn't come out much in the past few days, he has been reading books and reviewing carefully, and the eldest brother is also practicing martial arts harder. ”

Feng Nanmin rolled her eyes, "Are they still worried?" I also let no one else live. ”

Shen Nian nodded, "Yes, it's made me so bored these days." ”

"Hey, hey." Feng Nanmin knocked on the table, "Being with me makes you so boring." ”

Shen Nian grabbed Feng Nanmin's arm tightly, "What's the matter, being with our Miss Feng is the happiest thing for me." ”

"That's pretty much it." Feng Nanmin said.

Shen Nian and Feng Nanmin were silent, in fact, they all thought of it, if Feng Nanliu could participate in the literary examination at this time, what would it be like to surprise everyone.

But they were all afraid that the other party would be sad, so no one said anything.

"By the way, Nian'er, you know how to tell fortunes, right?"

"Huh? How? What do you want me to count? Marriage. As he spoke, Shen Nian glanced at Feng Nanmin with a shift.

Feng Nanmin rolled her eyes, "No, I've been having nightmares lately, I want you to help me calculate if I've been doing well lately." ”

"Hmm. Yes. Your birth date. Shen Nian nodded briskly and said.

Feng Nanmin opened his mouth and said, Shen Nian calculated, but his brows furrowed.

"What? I've not been very bad lately. Feng Nanmin knew that Shen Nian was very good at fortune-telling, and now he actually frowned, is it really not good.

Shen Nian seemed to think of something, and looked up at Feng Nanmin seriously, "Is this really your birthday?"

"That's right." Feng Nanmin said again, and suddenly covered his mouth, "It's not mine, it's my brother's, I'm different from his year and month." Since Feng Nanliu "died", Feng Nanmin counted Feng Nanliu's share no matter what she did, and Feng Nanliu's share was also her birthday, so Feng Nanliu's birthday was remembered more clearly than her own.

Shen Nian's eyes lit up, if this is the case, wouldn't that be ......

Feng Nanmin asked Shen Nian nervously, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Nian frowned and took out Sang Lan from his waist, "Are you sure your eldest brother's birthday is right?" Shen Nian asked again with confirmation.

"That's right." Feng Nanmin said it again seriously, and made sure that this time it was really right.

Shen Nian was a little nervous, took a few deep breaths, and began to write and draw on the table with Sang Lan.

Feng Nanmin only saw a golden light flash from the place on the table where Shen Nian had drawn, and then disappeared.

When Shen Nian finished deducing, he was shocked.

"What's the matter, Nian'er, what did you launch?" Feng Nanmin was also very nervous.

"As long as your birthday is not wrong, I will not be wrong." Shen Nian said.

"The person who was born here is not dead, but he is dying." Shen Nian said.

Feng Nanmin's eyes widened after hearing this.
