In the face of Shen Huanting's provocation, Shen Changge didn't care, indifferently withdrew his gaze, and walked to Shen Yiqing's desk.

"Uncle Huang, is this practicing calligraphy?" She casually glanced at the rice paper on the desk, and saw that there was a drop of ink on the white rice paper, which ruined the good words.

However, without waiting for Shen Yiqing to answer, I heard Shen Huanting preemptively say: "Uncle Huang's handwriting is very good, so I specially came to ask Uncle Huang for advice." Uncle Huang is teaching me how to write. ”

Saying that, she didn't forget to praise Shen Yiqing's good handwriting: "Uncle Huang's handwriting is the best I have ever seen." ”

When Shen Changge heard this, the corners of his lips hooked up a playful smile, and he said slowly: "The imperial sister will go to the Tai Academy to study every day, presumably there is a gentleman in the West Academy who is responsible for teaching calligraphy, right?" ”

Shen Huanting's expression changed for a moment, but she still smiled gently: "There is a gentleman in the Western Academy who teaches us calligraphy, but in my opinion, the calligraphy of the gentleman is not as good as that of Uncle Huang. ”

"Really?" Raising his delicate eyebrows slightly, Shen Changge set his eyes on Shen Yiqing and met his deep gaze, "Since Uncle Huang wants to teach the eldest emperor's sister calligraphy, it is inconvenient for the palace to disturb, so I will leave first." ”

With that, she turned and walked outside.

Behind him, Shen Yiqing's deep and magnetic voice came.

"Prince, please stay."

Immediately, he turned his head to look at Shen Huanting, and said in a deep voice: "Eldest princess, since there is a gentleman in Tai Academy who specializes in teaching calligraphy, then this king will not overstep his bounds." ”

"But—"

Shen Huanting wanted to speak, but was interrupted by him: "This king still has something to say to the prince, the eldest princess, please go back first." ”

Listening to his words, Shen Huanting's heart instantly swelled with displeasure and resentment, but there was no show on her face.

Lowering her eyelids slightly, she said softly: "Then Wan Ting won't bother Uncle Huang." Leave. ”

As she spoke, she owed Shen Yiqing slightly, and then bypassed the desk and prepared to leave.

And when passing by Shen Changge's side, she paused slightly, turned her head and looked at Shen Changge with complicated eyes.

But in the end, she didn't say anything, and after saluting Shen Changge goodbye, she left directly.

Shen Changge turned his head and looked thoughtfully at her back as she left, until Shen Yiqing called out to her, and then pulled her thoughts back.

"What is the prince thinking?"

"Nothing?" Shen Changge shook his head, but there was still a bit of contemplation on his face.

Why did she feel that the attitude of the eldest princess towards her just now was like treating her rival in love?

Hopefully, she's thinking too much.

"Then why did you come to this king?" Shen Yiqing picked up the tea cup on the table and fiddled with the tea lid casually.

After he asked, Shen Changge remembered that he had come to him for business.

So, she hurriedly asked, "Uncle Huang, do you know what kind of preferences my father has?" ”

"The emperor's preference?" Shen Yiqing looked at her suspiciously, "How could the prince be interested in this?" ”

Shen Changge scratched his head with a smile: "It's only a few days before my father's birthday, I don't know what birthday gift to give, so I specially came to ask Uncle Huang about you." ”

When Shen Yiqing heard this, he nodded clearly: "It's hard for the prince to have a heart." I don't know the emperor's other preferences, but there is one thing that the king knows. ”

"What?" Shen Changge was looking forward to it, supporting the desk with both hands, leaning forward slightly towards him, and his clear eyes were full of hope.

Meeting her sparkling gaze, Shen Yiqing was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to her senses.

Quietly looking away, he whispered: "The calligraphy and painting of the famous master of the previous dynasty. ”

"Why haven't I heard of it?" Shen Changge frowned and blinked blankly.

"The calligraphy and painting of Master Yixin are now extinct, and there are very few calligraphy and paintings in the world." Shen Yiqing raised his eyes to look at her, "The prince is not interested in calligraphy and painting, so it's natural that he hasn't heard of it." ”

"I mean, I haven't heard that my father likes the calligraphy and painting of this one-minded master." Shen Changge smiled, "Uncle Huang, does my father really like this master's calligraphy and painting?" You didn't lie to me, did you? ”

"Why did this king lie to you?" Shen Yiqing raised her eyebrows, pretending to be displeased and said, "If the prince doesn't believe it, then the king has nothing to say." ”

When Shen Changge heard this, he hurriedly explained: "How can I not believe it? Uncle Huang, I believe everything you say. ”

"Really?"

"It's true!"

"Then if this king says ......" Shen Yiqing said, but suddenly stopped the words that came to his lips, and a trace of hesitation appeared on his handsome face.

However, his sudden pause whetted Shen Changge's appetite and made her heart extremely curious in an instant.

"What does Uncle Huang want to say?" She looked at him for a moment, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Nothing." Shen Yiqing lowered his eyelids slightly, said in a deep voice, and put away the rice paper on the desk that was destroyed by the ink, and threw it into the bamboo building next to the desk.

He wanted to say, "If this king says that he likes the prince, will the prince believe it?" but in the end he couldn't say it.

What if the prince really believed him?

Believing and accepting it are two different things.

Rather than scaring the prince at that time, or the prince can't accept it, and gradually move away from him, it is better to maintain the current state.

Shen Changge didn't know what he was thinking, and seeing that he refused to say, she didn't ask any more.

"Then Uncle Huang knows where to find Master Yixin's calligraphy and paintings?"

Raising her eyes to meet her expectant gaze, Shen Yiqing asked, "Do you want to use Master Yixin's calligraphy and painting as a birthday gift to the emperor?" ”

"yes."

Shen Yiqing was silent for a moment before he spoke again: "Unfortunately, this king happens to have a painting of Master Yixin in his hand. ”

"Really?" Shen Changge was pleasantly surprised, and even his voice unconsciously raised a few points, "Can you let me take a look?" I'd love to see the master's paintings. ”

"In this royal palace." Looking at her impatient look, Shen Yiqing hooked the corners of her lips slightly, "When the king of Japan enters the palace, I will bring it to the crown prince." ”

Shen Changge just wanted to nod her head and agree, but after thinking about it, she was going to Tai Academy tomorrow.

So, she said: "No need, Uncle Huang, after school tomorrow, I will go to your house to see it, and I won't bother you to bring it into the palace." ”

Shen Yiqing nodded approvingly: "It's okay." The king will be in the palace tomorrow waiting for the arrival of the prince. ”

"Then it's settled." Shen Changge said with a bright smile, "Uncle Huang, then I'll leave first." ”

Shen Yiqing bowed slightly, and watched her walk out, with a thoughtful look on her angular and resolute face.

Fortunately, he had already ordered someone to find the calligraphy and painting of Master Yixin.

He had planned to transfer the master's painting to the crown prince, so that the prince could present it to the emperor on the day of the emperor's birthday banquet.

Unexpectedly, the prince would take the first step to ask him about the emperor's preferences, but let him give the painting to the prince logically.
