Zhao Xun was sitting in the library on the first floor of Qufu's library attic. After listening to Ji Sheng's report, he raised his head from behind a pile of books: "Hmm? Who is here? Whose father?"
"Commander Yan Jun, General Shen's father." Ji Sheng said.
"Shen Lie?" Zhao Gong raised his eyebrows, "Isn't his father me?"
Ji Sheng's face was paralyzed: "...the Crown Prince."
"Just for fun, Shen Lie isn't here anyway, so no one can hear it."
Ji Sheng sighed softly and went over to sort out the books that he had left in a mess in front of Zhao Yun. He said, "Your Majesty, it's better to take it easy. If you get used to talking and slip up, he or Miss Ali will hear it." Even the gods can't save you."
"What's wrong with Ah Li? Ah Li and I are family members."
Ji Sheng glanced at him.
Zhao Wei waved his hand and returned to the topic: "Why is Shen Lie's father coming here to pick up Shen Xu?"
"I don't know, I can't help but ask."
"Didn't we just have a quarrel at Wenhe Building yesterday, eh?" Zhao Xuan touched his chin, "I can't do anything about Shen Lie, so I'll drag Shen Lie's father along!"
Ji Sheng's hand stopped for a moment: "Your Majesty, please stop messing around. Why bother provoking Shen Lie when he's so good? That's like plucking hair from a tiger's head! No, Shen Lie is more terrifying than a tiger!"
Zhao Xun had pushed aside the pile of things in front of him and stood up. He took out his folding fan and opened it, shaking it and saying, "Then I am the tiger hunter. Let's go."
"Tiger hunter?" Ji Sheng muttered in a very vague voice, "I think you are just a troublemaker..."
In Qu Mansion's Suxun Garden, the maids in light pink clothes respectfully carried refreshments and walked through the long avenue paved with pebbled bluestone bricks and entered the lakeside water pavilion.
Although the pearl and silver gauze curtains on all sides of the water pavilion have been pulled to both sides, the piece hanging down is still flying wildly in the lake breeze.
Mrs. Qu's golden steps also trembled and danced by her ears. When the pretty little maid poured tea for Shen Shuangcheng, Mrs. Qu's plump and delicate face smiled: "This is the morning gift sent from Guishan Shitang at the beginning of the month." In front of the golden snail, I would also like to invite Master Shen to taste it."
The aroma of other teas floated from the trays put down by the maids at the back.
Mrs. Qu smiled and said: "If Master Shen doesn't like drinking, there are also scented teas here, which are astragalus, longan, rose tea and kumquat, tangerine peel and lotus leaf tea."
Plate after plate of exquisite pastries were brought out and put down by the maids, and Mrs. Qu introduced them one by one.
While introducing, she secretly calculated the time. If she could delay it for a while, it would be a while.
Although Mrs. Qu has always known that the relationship between Shen Lie and Yunliang is not good, no matter how bad the relationship is, the person in front of her is also Shen Lie's biological father. Even if this giant Buddha is as exquisite as Mrs. Qu, she doesn't know where to put him. .
Just when Mrs. Qu introduced the jade cakes and Guijiang Fengge, a voice she least wanted to hear at this moment sounded: "Xiling? Are you a guest?"
Mrs. Qu herself couldn't remember how many years she hadn't been called like this. With this title, she almost choked to death on her own saliva.
Turning around to look, Zhao Yu appeared with a harmless smile: "Hey, this distinguished guest is so handsome!"
Shen Shuangcheng's handsome face was grave, and he looked at him with a calm expression, and then looked at Mrs. Qu.
Mrs. Qu looked at the meaning in his eyes and confirmed that he had misunderstood that Zhao Xun was her adopted little boy.
Mrs. Qu coughed lightly, stood up and introduced: "This is Zhao Yu, the crown prince of Zhengbei."
Shen Shuangcheng paused, raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Yu, and then formally looked at him.
He has a fair and elegant temperament, deep eyebrows and sharp eyebrows, and a talented look. His smile is pure and harmless, but the more I look at him, the more I feel that there is a deep meaning in his smile, something hidden.
Shen Shuangcheng raised his hands and bowed to him: "I have met the Crown Prince."
"Master Shen, you're welcome." Zhao Yu said with a smile.
Shen Shuangcheng nodded slightly, then raised his hand to hold the tea, drinking it slowly while avoiding talking.
Mrs. Qu continued: "Although I am more than 20 years older than Prince Zhao, Prince Zhao is a kind-hearted person. He doesn't care about the worldly eyes or whether I am beautiful or ugly. He fell in love with me at first sight and admires me very much. Since then, he has always admired me." After coming to Hengxiang, he has been living in my Qu Mansion."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Qu's face showed shyness.
"Ahem..." The Jin Biluo in Shen Shuangcheng's hand almost came out of his nostrils.
Zhao Xun's smile froze, and then became even brighter: "Xiling, this is the first time you have praised me in front of people outside. You are willing to praise me!"
Ji Sheng shivered behind Zhao Yu, almost sick to death.
He raised his eyes and looked at the maids standing at Lord Shui's side.
They held their hands, looked at their noses with their eyes, and looked at their mouths from their noses. They were completely aloof and unmoved.
In the water pavilion, Mrs. Qu and Zhao Gong continued to dislike each other. Mrs. Qu wanted to delay time, and Zhao Gong wanted to test how much Mrs. Qu had talked with Shen Shuangcheng.
Seeing Mrs. Qu coming and going without mentioning Shen Lie, Zhao Xun smiled and suddenly changed the subject: "Hey, Xiling, since Master Shen came all the way from Yunliang, then we might as well return Shen Lie to him." he?"
Mrs. Qu's expression condensed.
Shen Shuangcheng immediately looked at Zhao Yu: "Prince Zhao, what you just mentioned is Quan Zi, Shen Shu?"
Seeing his expression, Zhao Xun really didn't know that Shen Xu was here, and he became even more happy: "Yes, Master Shen, Mr. Shen Dalang is..."
"Prince!" Qu Xiling shouted, quickly walked over and pinched his arm, "Stop talking!"
This pinch was so severe that Zhao Yun's handsome face was twisted in pain and his mouth opened wide.
Shen Shuangcheng stood up and said, "Mrs. Qu, what do you mean? This matter concerns Quanzi, why don't you let Prince Zhao continue talking?"
"Master Shen, I am not to blame for this," Mrs. Qu's face turned cold, "We ordinary people don't want to offend the officials and the army. We know we won't say anything."
"Then let me tell you!" Zhao Xun shouted.
"Shut up!" Mrs. Qu tried to pinch him again.
Zhao Gong, who was prepared, quickly dodged this time: "How dare you mess with my son! Master Shen, your precious son Shen Xu is now..."
"You still said that!" Mrs. Qu rushed over and covered his mouth.
Zhao Xun immediately fought back.
The two men started fighting.
Shen Shuangcheng neither stopped nor stopped, and said angrily: "Mrs. Qu! If you don't say it, then let Prince Zhao do it!"
Mrs. Qu didn't listen to him at all. She was fighting with Zhao Gong, and suddenly she stumbled on the beauty. Zhao Gong just hit her hard, and both of them couldn't stand still. There was a crash and they both fell into the water.
Huge water splashed, and Shen Shuangcheng, who rushed to pull them away, was splashed all over.
Ji Sheng was shocked and immediately entered the water.
The maids in the water pavilion were also confused, and the housekeeper hurriedly called for help to go into the water to fish out the man.
Shen Shuangcheng stood in the water pavilion watching this farce, his chest heaving with anger and his face turning purple.
Junri, who was standing not far away, thought for a while, turned around quietly and left, relying on his memory to walk in the direction he came from.
The turmoil in Suxun Garden caused all the servants of the Qu Mansion around to rush here. Yunri had already recognized the clothes of those people, which ones were maids and which ones were aunts. They were particularly easy to recognize.
When an aunt passed by, he immediately stepped forward to call her.
"This aunt, I am a subordinate of the Yan army. Our general sent me here to deliver medicine to his brother, but..."
"It turns out we are a distinguished guest," the anxious aunt interrupted him, "just go to Lanting Pavilion, go quickly!"
After saying that, my aunt ran away quickly.
Yongri raised his eyebrows and watched this aunt run away in a hurry.
He originally wanted to trick this aunt into preparing a carriage or something, but according to her wishes, the young master was actually in the Qu Mansion?!
Yunri turned around and looked around. This Qu Mansion is so big. Where is the Lanting Pavilion?
