Shen Nian told Shen Qing everything about today, Shen Qing smiled and touched Shen Nian's head, thinking that it was good for Nian'er to make friends outside.

"The fourth prince has never loved the government and feng shui, but he didn't make many friends like other merry and talented people, but he was cold and unmatched. It's really good that Nian'er can make friends with such a character. Shen Qing looked serious. But Nian'er always has to pay attention to getting along with him, after all, the other party is a member of the royal family. ”

"Well, don't worry, big brother."

Shen Nian was very happy after hearing this, after all, he was able to make a confidant within a few days of returning to the capital, which was really a great blessing in life.

At night, Shen Nian sat on the roof, looking in the direction of the palace, and it was the emperor's birthday in a few days. I'm going to meet that person. Speaking of the relationship between Ziling and that person, he should be called Fourth Brother Ziling. Shen Nian smiled happily.

A sudden breeze in the air, a pair of white snow boots quietly and silently landed beside Shen Nian, and a cloak was gently draped over Shen Nian's shoulders.

"Brother Yan." Shen Nian looked at Gao Lingyan who was sitting beside him.

"Why is Nian'er still sitting on the roof so late, be careful of catching a cold." Gao Lingyan's face was gentle, which was diametrically opposed to his usual decisive appearance.

Shen Nian looked at Gao Lingyan's eyebrows and eyes like jade, if they were carved, with the huge moon as the background, and his long hair was tied up. Shen Nian was unconsciously stunned.

Gao Lingyan looked at Shen Nian with a doting expression, at this moment, the two seemed to be a world of their own.

Shen Nian suddenly came to his senses, buried his head in his knees, and blushed.

Gao Lingyan also turned his head and coughed slightly.

"I heard that Nian'er made a friend today." Gao Lingyan spoke first to break the embarrassment.

"Yes, today I first played with Ziling, and then I had an in-depth conversation, and I found that he is really a very good person."

"Oh? can be so highly praised by Nian'er. Gao Lingyan turned his head to look at Shen Nian with a gentle expression.

"What does Brother Yan think of him?" Shen Nian blinked at Gao Lingyan with big eyes.

Gao Lingyan rubbed Shen Nian's head when he heard this, "I have lived in the court for a long time, but I have not changed my pure heart. ”

Shen Nian burst out laughing when he heard this.

Gao Lingyan looked at Shen Nian strangely.

Shen Nian stuck out his tongue at Gao Lingyan, "Brother Yan also said that I gave a high evaluation, and obviously Brother Yan's evaluation is not low." ”

"You." Gao Lingyan scratched Shen Nian's little nose and looked doting.

Xie Fu.

"What? Are you sure that there is no error in the message you supposed? Xie Daoyou sat on the main seat, holding a cup of tea in his hand, looking at the man in black kneeling at his feet.

"Absolutely, yes." The man in black bowed his head and said very respectfully.

"Let's go down." Thank you, your eyes were dark.

As soon as Shen Nian returned to Beijing, he first solved the chess game of Li Lao, and then became friends with Shangguan Hansu, the fourth prince who had always been cold and arrogant...... Xie Daoyou put down the tea in his hand and looked out the window. Or what does the Shen family want to do? But no matter what, this Shen Nian will be his fierce rival.

Day 2

Shen Qing walked to Shen Nian's courtyard and saw Shen Nian sitting on a stone chair in the courtyard, holding something like a tree branch in his hand, writing on the stone table.

Shen Qing knew that Shen Nian's best skill was the technique of deduction, and no one should disturb him when he deduced, so Shen Qing stood in the distance and watched Shen Nian.

Shen Nian got up early in the morning, and felt that today's charm was very suitable for deduction, so he took out Sang Lan for a simple deduction, and deduced tomorrow's Hundred Flowers Banquet.

Looking at the results, Shen Nian frowned.

"Big brother." Shen Nian called Shen Qing, who was standing in the distance.

Shen Qing walked out and sat opposite Shen Nian.

"Nian'er." Shen Qing looked at Shen Nian frowning, Shen Qing glanced at the stone table in front of Shen Nian, "Nian'er, but the result of the deduction is not good." ”

Shen Nian looked up at Shen Qing, "It's fine, there's no danger." ”

"Danger or not?"

"Yes. Even so, it should still be noted, because this 'surprise' is a bit 'fierce'. Shen Nian said solemnly.

"Okay, I'll tell everyone who enters the palace and let them keep an eye on it."

"Yes."

"By the way, big brother, is there something wrong with you coming to me?"

"Oh, just now a kid handed a package to the guard at the door, said it was for you, and then ran away. I looked at the child, and it was indeed an ordinary child. As he spoke, Shen Qing handed the package he was holding to Shen Nian.

Shen Nian looked at the package strangely. The package was not too big, Shen Nian put the package on the stone table, opened it, and found that inside the package was a round box, the box was dark green, and the edge had an unknown pattern. The moment Shen Nian saw the box, he suddenly thought of something.

Shen Nian first rotated the lid of the box three times to the left, then rotated four times to the right, and then pressed the lid of the box. With a click, the box was opened, and inside the box were all kinds of delicate-looking pastries. Shen Nian's eyes lit up.

"Why is Nian'er so happy all of a sudden." Shen Qing saw Shen Nian open the box from the moment he saw it, looking very happy, and couldn't help but be strange.

"Big brother, it's my senior brother." Shen Nian looked at the pastry, his eyes rolled, and the corners of his mouth raised a smile, "It seems that Senior Brother will come this time." ”

"Senior brother? Is that the 'peerless son' you mentioned in your letter earlier? Shen Qing asked with a frown.

"That's right. It seems that the senior brother will also come this time, but he hasn't arrived yet. ”

"Whoa." Shen Nian handed a piece of pastry to Shen Qing, "Big brother try it." ”

Shen Qing took it and saw that the pastry was a square with a very delicate painting painted on it. Shen Qing put the pastry in his mouth, and to Shen Qing's surprise, the pastry melted in his mouth. As the eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Qing has also eaten a lot of things, but this pastry does have a different taste, much better than what he has eaten before.

"Isn't it delicious?" Shen Nian looked at Shen Qing's expression.

"Indeed." Shen Qing nodded, but thought about the rumors about the 'Peerless Prince'. Speaking of the unequaled son, his temperament is the same as that of the fourth prince, Shangguan Hansu. But I heard that anyone who provoked him ended up miserable. There was once an organization in the martial arts that wanted to strangle this peerless son, but all of them went and never returned. Everyone knows his origins, only that his master is Tianqingzi, that's all. I didn't expect such a person to be able to make such delicious pastries.

"Don't look at the rumors about Senior Brother outside, but Senior Brother is a very gentle person, and his cooking is extremely delicious. When I was young, if I was punished by the master, my brother would make food to comfort me, and give it to the master so that the master would not punish me. Shen Nian thought back to what happened when he was a child, and his face was full of joy.

"Just now I saw that Nian'er's way of opening the box was very special." Shen Qing said.

"It's not really special. That is, the force and angle must not be wrong, otherwise the poison in the middle layer of the box will be sprinkled on the pastry. This is my code for my brother and me. Shen Nian also picked up a piece of pastry and ate it.

"By the way, Nian'er, tomorrow is the emperor's birthday. Be prepared. What is missing. Shen Qing clapped his hands and sprinkled the pastry dregs.

"There's nothing left. It's pretty much the same now. Just wait for tomorrow. ”

"Nian'er."

"Huh?" Shen Nian looked up at Shen Qing strangely.

"No matter what you do, we will support you unconditionally, and the Shen family will always be your backing." Shen Qing rubbed Shen Nian's head and said.

"Don't worry, big brother, Nian'er is measured."

"Yes."

That night, Shen Qing sent someone to bring Shen Nian's clothes, shoes and accessories for tomorrow to Shen Nian.

Day 2

Shen Nian got up early, put on his clothes, and combed his hair. Since I came back, I knew that if I started with today's situation, if the Shen family continued to be quiet, what I would get was not Mingzhe to protect myself, I was afraid that it would be destroyed. And its own identity. Shen Nian settled down. Pushed open the door and walked out.

Shen Qing and Shen Feng had been waiting outside for a long time, and saw Shen Nian pushing the door out, wearing a long aqua blue skirt with white flowers embroidered on the edges of the skirt, white and blue boots on her feet, and a purple hosta on her head. It's not like a girl in the world, but like a fairy coming into the world, so beautiful that it can't be seen.

"Big brother, second brother." Shen Nian walked up to the two of them and waved his hand.

Shen Qing and Shen Feng came back to their senses.

"Big brother and second brother, am I looking good today?" Shen Nian turned around and asked.

"Good looking. Nian'er, you're dressed so beautifully today. Shen Feng said. Today's banquet not only has the princes of their own country, but also the envoys of various countries, all of whom are high-ranking and powerful people.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, you're protecting me. Besides, there are definitely people who wear more solemn clothes than me today. Shen Nian said with a wink.

"Yes, Nian'er is right for everything." Shen Feng said.

"Then let's go."

"Yes."

Shen Nian went out with Shen Qing and Shen Feng.

"Where's my father?" Shen Nian saw that there was no figure of Shen Xing outside.

"The emperor summoned me early this morning, and my father went to the palace." Shen Qing replied.

"Oh." Shen Nian thought of what name he wanted after hearing this.

on the carriage.

"Nian'er, this is the first time to enter the palace to participate in a banquet. There will be a time when you will ask me in confusion. Even if there is the kind that provokes you, just press it. In this capital, our Shen family is unshakable, and if you dare to move the Shen family, no matter who it is, the consequences will not be good. Shen Qing instructed Shen Nian.

Shen Nian nodded, "Don't worry, big brother, how can anyone bully me." ”

"Big brother is worried about his life." Shen Feng shook his fan gently, and there was a smile in his fox-like eyes.

Every time Shen Nian saw the fox appearance of the second brother, he wanted to hold his forehead.

The three of them chatted very happily all the way.

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped.

"Have you arrived?" Shen Nian asked.

Suddenly, I heard a commotion outside.

"Nian'er, come down." Suddenly, an extremely gentle voice came from outside.

"Brother Yan." Shen Nian's eyes lit up, he lifted the curtain, and really saw Gao Lingyan standing outside the carriage, only to see Gao Lingyan smiling at the corner of his mouth, and stretched out his hand to Shen Nian, "Come down." ”

"Yes." Shen Nian happily put his hand on Gao Lingyan's hand and jumped out of the car.

Shen Qing and Shen Feng in the carriage almost gritted his teeth, this kid appeared in a really timely manner.
