Shen Mansion.

When Shen Sitang came back, everyone in the family was waiting for her in the side hall, and before the meal was served, Shen Xueyi was so hungry that his eyes lit up when he saw her, and he jumped off the chair.

"Big sister, you're finally back!"

Shen Xueyi hugged Shen Sitang's legs, and smiled brightly at her with his chubby little face.

Shen Sitang pinched his little face: "Are you hungry?" ”

"Hmm!" Shen Xueyi nodded heavily.

"Sorry, big sister is late." Shen Sitang took his chubby little hand and sat down.

"Why are you only coming back now?" Shen Mingyi frowned and asked her with a heavy heart.

"His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince taught his daughter to ride a horse, and her daughter just learned to be a little excited, so she delayed the hour." Shen Sitang replied truthfully.

Shen Mingyi's brows furrowed, and he wanted to ask something, but Shen Caoshi suddenly cleared his throat, pulled his sleeve under the table, and then pretended to be casual and ordered the maid on the side to serve the food.

Good wine and good food were served, and Shen Cao asked the maid to pour wine for Shen Sitang and Shen Lezhidu, and let the two sisters accompany Shen Mingyi to drink something.

After three rounds of drinking, Shen Caoshi saw that Shen Sitang's cheeks were rosy, and pulled Shen Mingyi's sleeve under the table, and glanced at him.

Shen Mingyi understood, put down the wine glass and asked casually, "Qianning, how did you meet His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince?" ”

"Huh? On the day I went to the Inspectorate to beat the drum and voice my grievances, His Royal Highness the Sixth was also there, and he watched me dissect the three princes. Shen Sitang had never drunk such a strong wine, the whole person was dizzy, and he was not defensive against his family, and he asked what to answer.

Shen Mingyi asked: "Then why did he reward you?" ”

"I praised him a few words, and he said he would reward me."

"You praise him?" The Shen family was full of question marks, and Shen Mingyi asked again: "What are you praising him?" ”

"Praise him for his kindness."

"Kindness? Ahem..."Shen Mingyi almost choked to death with his own saliva.

Shen Cao's and Shen Lezhi's mother and daughter were both stunned, thinking that they had heard it wrong, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince... Is it kind?

"Actually." Shen Caoshi pondered it and persuaded softly: "Sometimes you can't just look at the surface when looking at men. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, men who are too good-looking are easy to go out and spend all day drinking!" After Shen Lezhi finished speaking, he didn't forget to add: "My mother told me." ”

Shen Mingyi subconsciously looked at Shen Cao's family: "Madam? So you were willing to marry me back then, and you thought I wasn't good-looking enough? ”

Shen Caoshi gouged out Shen Le's eyes, and then took Shen Mingyi's hand to coax him: "Where is the official not good-looking, the official is obviously the best-looking man in the whole capital." ”

"But I don't spend a lot of time drinking!"

"Oh, isn't the concubine afraid that her daughter will be deceived, official, the most important thing now is not this, you quickly ask her if she has anything to do with His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince... Is there any..."

Shen Cao's eyebrows were squeezed, Shen Mingyi came back to his senses in a trance, and let out two consecutive sounds.

Shen Sitang was puzzled: "What are you talking about?" ”

Shen Mingyi regained his senses and stared at Shen Sitang with a serious face: "Qianning, my father asked you, do you have anything with the Sixth Highness..." ”

Shen Sitang thought for a while and nodded: "Yes!" After speaking, he grinned and added: "More than once!" ”

The Shen family gasped one after another, and the young Shen Xueyi held the chicken leg in his hand, eating with his mouth full of oil, and looked at them blankly, and then continued to gnaw on the chicken leg.

Shen Mingyi took a deep breath, suppressed the feeling of heart infarction, and asked again: "Qianning, you... Do you like the Six Highnesses very much? ”

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said with a clear conscience that His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness was kind, and he wouldn't let that Yin Si Yama take advantage of her, just that, what can my daughter do if she likes him!

Shen Sitang shook his head in the old father's helpless eyes: "I'm sick, I like him?" If he hadn't forced me, I would have kept him away. ”

"What!" Shen Mingyi slapped the case, so angry that he clenched his fists: "He forced you? ”

Shen Sitang also slapped the table due to the atmosphere: "It's not, he said that he wanted to cut off my head at every turn, and the knife was on my neck." Speaking of this, she looked aggrieved and snorted twice with a wine hiccups.

"It's too much of a deception! What a deception! I want to enter the palace to face the saint, and I want to get justice for my daughter! ”

Shen Mingyi was about to rush out as he spoke, but Shen Cao's family hurriedly dragged him: "The official is calm, the official should not be impulsive, he is the sixth prince, Your Majesty spoils him the most, have you forgotten?" His Majesty knew that he had crippled the sons of the three ministers, but he turned a blind eye and let the three ministers have no way to ask for help! ”

Shen Mingyi sat down on the chair in a dejected manner, patted his thigh and choked up: "My poor daughter, it's useless for your father, it's useless for your father!" ”

Shen Sitang blinked, leaned towards Shen Lezhi, and asked her suspiciously, "What's wrong with Dad?" ”

Shen Lezhi looked at her with pity, picked up chopsticks and prepared vegetables for her: "Sister, eat more, is there anything else you want to eat?" My sister is looking for you. ”

Shen Sitang sighed: "I'm not a picky eater." Saying that, she waved her hand again and again: "No, no, no, I'm dizzy, I'll go back to my room and sleep first." ”

——

Shen Sitang woke up the next day, recalled what happened last night, and felt the need to explain it to her father.

Shen Mingyi was wearing court clothes and was about to go out, but Shen Sitang hurriedly stopped him.

"Daddy, Daddy, wait."

Hearing his daughter's call, a smile appeared on Shen Mingyi's dark face, and he turned to look at her: "Qianning, is there something wrong?" ”

Shen Sitang gasped, obviously running all the way.

"Dad, my daughter wants to tell you, in fact, my daughter has nothing with His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, His Royal Highness is very good to his daughter, not only rewarded his daughter with gold and silver treasures, but also taught his daughter to ride a horse in person, and he saved me last time in the horse farm!"

Shen Mingyi felt bitter in his heart, and only felt that his daughter was afraid that he would not be able to make trouble with the six princes.

He patted Shen Sitang on the shoulder, smiled hard and said, "Dad understands, Dad understands." ”

Shen Sitang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you didn't misunderstand." ”

"Today is the day of the funeral of the third prince, and my father has to go."

Shen Sitang sighed: "Then be careful on the road." ”

Shen Mingyi nodded heavily, patted Shen Sitang's shoulder again before turning away, and the moment he turned around, Shen Sitang looked at him and raised his hand to wipe his eyes.

"Hey, Dad..."Shen Sitang subconsciously stretched out his hand and muttered, "Do you really understand?" ”

——

On the day of the funeral of the three princes, hundreds of civil and military officials sent each other off, and the royal relatives and nobles also mourned.

Shen Mingyi, who was the secretary of the Criminal Department, stood in the front row, and diagonally opposite him was the banquet of the Six Princes.

Jun Tingyan felt that Shen Mingyi had been looking at him, twisted his eyebrows and looked over, and when the eyes of the two collided, he saluted him, which was enough to give Shen Mingyi face.

Unexpectedly, Shen Mingyi snorted from his nose and turned his face away with anger.
