Although it is a micro-service, everyone present has seen the prince, Dean Shen is even more of the prince's elder, and even Zeng Ting has fought with the prince at the Qionglin banquet.

"You don't have to be formal, today's palace is micro-suited, and it is not appropriate to publicize it." Pu Yangxu first raised his hand to exempt everyone, and then turned around and brought Shen Tingnian behind him to his side, and introduced to Dean Shen, "Elder Shen, look who this palace has brought back to see you." ”

Shen Tingnian looked at her nominal uncle, the teacher in schoolwork, the person who gave her the name 'Shen Tingnian' through a thin veil, and he hadn't seen him old for three or four years, with an amiable face.

"This is Ah Nian's return." Dean Shen opened his mouth first, and then took a step forward, as if he was too surprised and excited.

Everyone suddenly realized: It was the prince Jieyu Shen.

Shen Yanhe, who also recognized Shen Tingnian on the field, almost fainted - she really came back and brought the prince with her.

Everyone followed Dean Shen to greet Shen Tingnian, but Shen Tingnian leaned into Pu Yangxu's arms at the right time, and turned his head without even saying hello.

The spacious gazebo suddenly became a stagnant atmosphere.

"It should be that the horse of this palace was riding fast just now, she was not feeling well, and she lost her temper." Pu Yangxu took her to the seat, and whispered to her, "That's your uncle, why don't you recognize it?" ”

Before Shen Tingnian could speak, Dean Shen hurriedly answered, "Your Highness, don't blame Ah Nian, take a seat first, please take a seat, the hospitality in the courtyard is rude, don't blame ......"

The seats reappeared in a row, Pu Yangxu carried Shen Tingnian in the middle of the best position, Dean Shen bowed next to Pu Yangxu, and his sitting posture was also a little straighter, and the two were greeting each other very cordially.

Shen Tingnian, who had not yet taken off his hat, was just about to raise his hand to untie the tie, but Pu Yangxu's right hand accurately pressed his wrist, he clearly turned his head sideways to talk to Dean Shen, and without even looking at it, he captured Shen Tingnian's movements so accurately, and naturally stopped it.

The attendant brought the tea to the two of them, Pu Yangxu controlled Shen Tingnian with one hand, pushed the tea cup to Shen Tingnian's hand with the other, and took the time to order the table.

That clearly meant to warn her not to make trouble, and obediently wore a hat.

Everyone who witnessed this scene looked away tacitly, only Shen Yanhe stared at Shen Tingnian with unkind eyes, if it weren't for her wanton behavior on this occasion, she was afraid that she couldn't help but be the first to lift Shen Tingnian's veil.

It's been four years, and she can't forget the humiliation when she was told that Shen Tingnian entered the palace to be elected, and the shadow that she suppressed for seven years, as long as she Shen Tingnian participated, she could only win the second place.

"Didn't Zeng Gongzi want to ask for battle," Shen Yanhe pinched her palms and shifted her gaze, her eyes at the moment were incomparably bright, and even revealed a strange light, "No matter what you compare, my Shen family has no need to fight." ”

The people of the Zeng Family Academy led by Zeng Ting in the house had already reined in when the prince appeared, but as soon as Shen Yanhe said this, not to mention Zeng Ting, they were also secretly angry, and they were particularly shameless as bullies.

Zeng Ting's clothes swept away, got up from the stool, and his eyes swept around and fell on Pu Yangxu: "Your Highness, the grass people ask Mr. Shen Family Female Xue in the name of Zeng's children, please allow." ”

Zeng Ting was dressed in a green shirt, and he was a talented person with a good temperament. Before the prince appeared, he was the best in the audience, this person is compared to others, there is a gap, and the gaze that falls on the two of them will consciously shift, how hot Shen Yanhe's gaze is when he falls on Pu Yangxu, and how deep his hatred for Shen Tingnian is.

Pu Yangxu narrowed his eyes slightly, and remembered, "It was you, five years ago, this palace fought with you for wine." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zeng Ting smiled gently, "His Royal Highness's poetry is outstanding, and the grass people have remembered it for a long time and have never forgotten it." ”

Pu Yangxu smiled, "You make your own arrangements, and you don't need to worry about the presence of this palace." ”

After the prince's consent, Zeng Ting no longer hesitated, and with his summons, more than a dozen subordinates lined up with wine jugs and glasses.

The leader was not from the Shen family, the middle-aged man bowed his head towards Zeng Ting, and his meaning was self-evident.

It's about fighting wine.

Shen Tingnian put down the teacup and glanced at Zeng Ting, who can fight with Puyang Xu, obviously an expert in this regard, his eyes swept back and fell on Shen Yanhe, but he is still the same, everything is so strong, he has to fight for everything, and he will never learn to be modest and clumsy.

"There are sixteen kinds of wine here, divided into two categories, wine and iron," Zeng Ting came prepared, and was so lucky to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince present, he had to show his performance, he carried his back with one hand, and lit the placed wine with the other, "Let's compare according to the rules of the Qionglin banquet, divide wine tasting, and drink twice." ”

The tasting ratio is to know the type of wine, to be able to taste exactly what is in the wine when it is re-brewed, and to taste the vintage of the wine at a higher level.

As for drinking, it's the amount of alcohol.

"If Mr. Shen can win in the next game, the Zeng family will lose."

"Don't be too crazy." Shen Yanhe also got up and left the table, walked to the square table where the wine was arranged, and smiled confidently, "I not only want to win, but also win two of you." ”

"......" Zeng Ting.

Everyone: Can you be humble?

Before the two of them started, Shen Tingnian couldn't stand it anymore, and just as she was about to get up, she was pressed by Pu Yangxu's knees, and he asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Tingnian twisted him with his hand, "Go to the toilet." ”

###

Shen Tingnian lived in the fence courtyard behind Fenglai Academy, the bluestone paved road, and the courtyard was once full of flowers, peony, peony, autumn chrysanthemum, golden cinnamon...... She stepped on the moss-covered stone steps again, and as far as she could see, the fence was broken and scattered, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the small white and blue buildings had been uninhabited for a long time, and were covered with cobwebs.

Even the stone bench that she used to like to sit on alone was broken.

Shen Tingnian remembered the last time she sat on this stone bench, and that day she learned that Shuangmu was Lin Mo, a student of Dean Shen, a disciple of the Han family sponsored by the Shen family, and a person who could not elope with her.

He even has a 'sister' at home who can't be taken care of.

Compared to the blow of losing the reward of ten thousand gold at that time, this news was the last straw that crushed her reason, and she would never be able to get rid of the Shen family.

#五年前的凤来书院后山.

Shen Tingnian carried the bookcase back to his residence, and a person jumped out from the side and pulled her, and then hurriedly walked in front, as if an ordinary female student was passing by, Shen Tingnian felt that she was a little familiar, and he followed unconsciously.

The two walked one after the other, the man was obviously very familiar with the road behind the mountain, and the road he led was very biased, and when the two of them entered the fork in the road to the top of the mountain, there was silence on all sides, and she looked back at Shen Tingnian, with a smile in her eyes, but it was mockery.

"My name is Lynsey."

Shen Tingnian hugged the bookcase tightly, the sun in the sky was a little dazzling, her eyes were half-squinted, and her calm face had her unique composure.

Lynsey felt that she had never understood this woman, but she snatched everything that should have belonged to her at once.

"Do you know my brother?" Lin Xi didn't call Lin Mo's name, Shen Tingnian blinked, and didn't speak, "He must not have told you how he came to be today." ”

"His name is Shuangmu in your place, and Lin Mo in my place, in your eyes he is a talented and beautiful young man, and in my eyes he is the best brother in the world, he was not called Lin Mo before, but a nameless and stateless outcast."

"Shen Tingnian, the hardships he has endured, you can never imagine, three years from the age of ten to thirteen," Lin Xi approached a few steps, smiling at her with innocent eyes, "I was sold to a wealthy family of a high-ranking official and made a prostitute/child." ”

Shen Tingnian stared back at her with wide dry eyes, and silently grabbed the bookcase, as if to draw strength.

For three years, he was beaten every day...... Tortured every day...... It's not a human life at all. ”

With a buzzing sound in his head, his blood surged, Shen Tingnian remembered the sincere and fiery appearance of the young man when he first met Lin Mo, the confidence and pride when he talked about the chess game, and the cherishing of books and his preference for flowers and plants......

"He hates a person who is bound so much, and now, he is willing to be trapped in this academy for the sake of you, because he likes you and wants to give you freedom, if I don't intercept it...... Hehe, providence, you tried to escape several times but were betrayed by Shen Yanhe, and if you can't get out, she will also be a hindrance," Lin Xi said and laughed, but his eyes were full of tears, and he stubbornly refused to shed it, "If I hadn't begged him with the past, and you ran away from the lake and almost drowned, he probably wanted to kill me." ”

Shen Tingnian bit her lip and kept staring, she didn't want to listen, she really didn't want to, but she couldn't make a sound and couldn't move.

"It's me that he can get out of the identity of a child prostitute...... I got it in exchange. A line of tears could not be exhausted, and Lin Xi didn't want to wipe it, those unbearable pasts were revealed, and the blood was dripping, "Shen Tingnian, do you know that in order to save him, I am willing to commit / Someone else, if it is you, can you do it?" ”

Whether it is the friendship of sharing weal and woe, or Lin Xi's sacrifice to save each other, they have become the most interdependent couple, because of the suffering, she is too insecure, too afraid of being abandoned, will be full of calculations, want to firmly grasp every life-saving straw, trying to occupy his heart.

"When all the suffering passed, I thought that I was the one who shared the prosperity side by side with him, hehe," Lin Xi laughed wildly a few times, his tears dried up, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words, "It's me!" ”

In fact, Lin Mo said that she could do whatever she wanted, but she couldn't give her love anymore, he fell in love with someone else.

Shen Tingnian choked and wiped the tails of his eyes, and listened to her words in a bit of a daze, she really didn't know this, and she couldn't imagine it.

"What have you done for him, oh, copy schoolwork for him, hehe, I really can't do that," Lin Xi laughed and cried for a while, approached her, and looked at the bookcase in her arms again, the hatred in his eyes was never hidden, only a little more, "Play with him, chant poetry, cut candles and paint, and add fragrance to the red sleeves......"

But what's the use of that? Do you think the Shen family is really giving you a future, it is just a plank road for Ming Xiu, let you stay honest, they have already reported your name to the Ministry of Rites, and you are now a draft girl. ”

The vision was finally blurred, and Shen Tingnian helplessly hugged the box and stepped back, "Don't ...... Say no more......"

Lin Xi was incomprehensible, sneered and looked at her in pain, as soon as her footsteps moved, she reached out to grab her box, but Shen Tingnian hugged her desperately and didn't let go, and shook off her hand tremblingly.

"I'm going to tell you, you're never going to be able to do it anymore."

The bookcase fell, Shen Tingnian lost his strength all over, fell down with the force of Lin Xi's pushing, was stupid for a moment, and muttered: "No......"

Lin Xi bent her lips, squatted down, took the bookcase in her hand, guessing that everything should be in it, she checked it, and looked at Shen Tingnian's bright and clear eyes that had been soaked in tears, Lin Xi seemed to have finally completed the task, her words became relaxed, and the pain and sadness just now were swept away, "Shen Tingnian, don't be so naïve and stupid in the future." ”
