Chapter 51: Today's No. 1 Is She!
The note written by Shen Yuan was first handed over to Wei Yan by Xiao Er, and Wei Yan saw the four words written on it, and a smile crossed his eyes.
It's really like Shen Kite's style.
"Take it to him." Wei Yan handed the note to Xiao Er, and Xiao Er hunched over and ran up to the second floor.
Zhao Xianyu covered his lips and asked Wei Yan in a low voice: "Lord Shizi, who is the owner of this Lou Yuantai?" ”
Although Zhao Xian knew that Wei Yan had a great relationship with the proprietor behind Lou Yuantai, Wei Yan had never revealed to him who it was, he was very curious, but he still endured the doubts in his heart and did not send anyone to investigate.
Judging from the word "emperor" in today's tenth question, the owner behind Lou Yuantai must be a person in the palace, and his status is not low.
"When you should know, you will know." Wei Yan's expression was inexplicable.
Shen Yuan sat in his seat, holding his cheek with one hand, and tapping his index finger on the table with the other hand from time to time, thinking the same thing as Zhao Xian.
The owner behind Lou Yuantai is related to the royal family, and his status is not low.
If it weren't for Wei Yan's assurance just now, she wouldn't dare to write down the answer in vain. Originally, because of the last incident, Emperor Yunjing's impression of her was very bad, if Emperor Yunjing grabbed the pigtail again this time, regardless of whether it would affect her sister or not, it would be really hard to say whether she could continue to stay by Wei Yan's side without incident.
Outside the innermost private room on the second floor, Xiao Er respectfully handed the note in his hand to the black-clothed guard with a knife who was guarding the door.
"Childe, please take a look." The guards with knives entered the house and presented the note.
In the private room, a noble man dressed in purple was boiling tea, the white mist was curling, and the fragrance of tea was overflowing.
The boy in purple did not take the note immediately, but first wiped his hands with a clean handkerchief, his movements were not hurried, elegant and indifferent.
"Shen Kite, it's really a wonderful person." The boy in purple unfolded the note, and the hairpin on the white paper was neat and beautiful, but at the end, it was free and easy.
It is said that the words are like their people, and the young man in purple remembered the scene when he saw Shen Yuan for the first time outside the Zichen Palace, and was almost deceived by the appearance of this little girl.
The purple-clothed boy chuckled lightly and read out the answer on the note, "The white jade is flawless, but it is quite cautious." ”
This is the most modest answer, but it is also the most satisfying answer. did not flatter too much, hyped up the emperor's grace, and did not deliberately write about the royal evils like some self-righteous scholars, which eventually led to the disaster of killing.
Shen Kite's answer was just right, restrained and low-key, simply put, he patted a sycophant without a trace.
It just happened to shoot him in the heart.
"Today's number one is her." The purple-clothed boy smiled and spoke.
Xiao Er outside got the permission of the owner inside, and hurriedly ran down and said to the shopkeeper: "Childe said, she is the first one today!" ”
The shopkeeper was surprised, but he quickly strode up to Shen Yuan and congratulated: "Congratulations to this girl for becoming the first place in today's lantern riddle competition, and all the expenses for the girl to come to our Louyuantai in the future will be exempted." ”
Shen Yuan raised her eyebrows, smiled proudly, and said, "Thank you for the shopkeeper." ”
The shopkeeper heard Shen Yuan's flat tone, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at her, although there was a smile on her face, it was not an unexpected joy, but more like she had already expected this ending.
Sure enough, the people who are recognized by Childe are not ordinary people.
"Dare to ask the girl's name?" The shopkeeper had more respect for Shen Yuan.
The people in the audience also pricked up their ears, wanting to know what kind of fairy this girl was.
Shen Kite's peach blossom eyes bent, and he said lightly: "Shen Kite." ”
The shopkeeper was puzzled, he had been doing business in Chang'an City for decades, and he had either seen or heard of most of the children of famous families in Chang'an City. But the name Shen Yuan really made him unfamiliar.
Seeing that Shen Yuan was dressed and was not the daughter of an ordinary family, the shopkeeper couldn't help but think of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion.
But the heirs of the Marquis of Zhongyi are thin, in addition to the two young ladies Shen Yu and Shen Qianqian, I have not heard of a young lady named Shen Yuan.
The people below were discussing, and Shen Yuan didn't explain too much, so he walked up to Wei Yan and said with a smile: "Shizi, I am the first." ”
There was a hint of ostentation and expectation in his tone, and a dark light floated in his eyes, and he looked restless.
She hadn't forgotten that Wei Yan said just now that he could make a request to the person who got the first place.
Every time she saw Shen Yuan's smiling appearance, Wei Yan knew what she was thinking, "Don't mention some unrealistic ideas, don't make me angry, Shen Yuan." ”
Wei Yan touched the top of Shen Kite's head, as if he was soothing a restless little fox.
The light in Shen Yuan's eyes dimmed, and he suddenly turned his head and whispered: "I didn't want to mention being the princess, the prince thought too much." ”
When Wei Yan was about to say something, Xiao Er ran to Wei Yan's side and said, "Lord Shizi, our owner wants to see you." ”
Wei Yan didn't refuse, and responded lightly: "This son also happens to have something to find him." ”
"The prince and the owner of this building know each other?" Shen Yuan was a little surprised.
Wei Yan nodded, and then said to her, "You go back to the private room with Zhao Xian first and wait for me, and I'll be back in a while." ”
As soon as Zhao Xian heard that he could be alone with Shen Yuan, he immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of the little kite." ”
Zhao Xian held back a lot of questions in his heart and wanted to ask Shen Yuan.
In the private room on the second floor, the purple-clothed boy had already made tea and waited for Wei Yan to come in.
"Childe, the prince is here." The guard at the door reported.
"Come in."
Wei Yan entered the room, and the purple-clothed boy called in a gentle voice: "It's only been a month since I went to Qingcheng, and Ah Yan has grown a lot taller. ”
Wei Yan didn't salute, sat down opposite him with care, stretched out his hand and said, "Where's the note?" ”
The purple-clothed boy was stunned for a moment, and said with a sad face: "I haven't seen my brother for more than a month, and you didn't give me a big gift to ask me for something?" ”
This purple-clothed prince is none other than the current fourth prince and the queen's biological son, Wei Sheng.
At the beginning, he had a relationship with Shen Yuan, but after that time, he was sent by Emperor Yunjing to Qingcheng to deal with things, and now he has come back.
Wei Yan saw that Wei Sheng refused to give him the things, but he was not annoyed, but said fearlessly: "Does Uncle Huang know about my cousin's return to Chang'an ahead of schedule?" ”
Wei Sheng took a sip of tea, smiled and took out the note written by Shen Yuan from his sleeve, and returned it to Wei Yan, "Ah Yan actually threatened me for a little girl, it seems that a lot of things should have happened in the more than a month since I left." ”
Paying attention to Wei Yan's gossip is one of Wei Sheng's great joys in life. Since Wei Yan's sixteenth birthday, Wei Sheng has always paid attention to which maid in the Qin Palace's mansion successfully climbed the bed and broke Wei Yan's child's body.
