Seeing Yan Qianfei fall into silence, Shen Zicong couldn't help but feel sympathy. After all, there is nothing wrong with liking someone.
He just fell in love with someone he shouldn't have liked, and the most painful thing was himself.
In order to divert his attention, Shen Zicong smiled and said:
"Qian Fei, Wen Qian, and Qing Yun will be officials in the same court from now on. We don't want to be so polite as Young Master Yan or Young Master Xu. You also don't want to call me Master Wen. In private, just call me Zicong.
"
Xu Wenqian and Han Qingyun were getting better and better. They nodded and said to Shen Zicong:
"Zicong."
Shen Zicong chuckled and shook his head, pouring wine for everyone.
Then he raised his glass and said:
"A few days ago, I heard from Miss Mingyue and Zhongli that there seemed to be some minor disputes between Qian Fei and Wen Qian. From now on, we should forget about those disputes, work together for Fengxiang's future, and support each other."
Having said this, he paused:
"To celebrate all of your great achievements, do it."
Murong Mingyue replaced the wine with tea, picked up the wine glass, and touched the wine glasses of several men.
Sipping the tea delicately, Murong Mingyue observed everyone's performance and found that Yan Qianfei still looked dazed and frustrated, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
If he had known earlier, he would not have told Yan Qianfei that Zhong Liyue was married.
Anyway, Queen Zhongliyue's identity is rarely seen by court officials. Yan Qianfei may not have the chance to see Zhongliyue again in the future. If it is not exposed today, Zhongliyue may still be a beautiful dream in Yan Qianfei's heart.
It was she who shattered Yan Qianfei's dream.
She was still blaming herself, but Shen Zicong raised his glass with rare boldness and said:
"Cheers to Qian Fei and Wen Qian for letting go of their grudges and becoming good friends."
This time, everyone's movements were a little slow, but in the end, both Yan Qianfei and Xu Wenqian still toasted honestly.
Shen Zicong might be in a good mood because he was about to marry Murong Mingyue, so he found many reasons to toast one after another.
Murong Mingyue was dumbfounded.
She always thought that Shen Zicong was a weak scholar who never drank alcohol, but she never expected that Shen Zicong would be so bold and forthright when he drank.
Although he was no longer as gentle and elegant as usual, he had a bit more masculinity, which made her even more dazzled. She felt that this man was really the person in her heart.
Love it very much...
Later, there was no more cheers, so Yan Qianfei just drank in silence.
Obviously, he couldn't let go of Zhong Liyue, really couldn't let go.
Finally, Shen Zicong took his wine glass and looked at him seriously:
"Qian Fei, why did you study so hard for ten years???"
Yan Qianfei blinked:
"In order to...bring glory to our ancestors, to let others never look down on our Yan family or me..."
Shen Zicong nodded:
"These are all more important than a woman who doesn't love you and doesn't belong to you, right???"
Yan Qianfei was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
In fact, Zhong Liyue was very important to him. His self-confidence was greatly affected when he was compared to Zhong Liyue that day.
Only when he realized that Zhongliyue was a woman and thought that Zhongliyue had feelings for him did he cheer up and regain his self-confidence.
In other words, without Zhongliyue's gift, he might have languished and been ruined.
Therefore, without Zhong Liyue, he might not have been able to get the top spot in the exam.
"Qian Fei, do you still remember that you have to go to court to see the emperor tomorrow???"
Speaking of this, Yan Qianfei's expression finally changed.
After all, in the hearts of the ancients, the emperor is the real dragon and the emperor, the emperor of all people, and an insurmountable mountain.
"Remember."
His expression gradually became serious.
Shen Zicong nodded:
"It's good that you know... Tomorrow you must be in your best state to go to court and leave a good impression on the emperor... So, today, no matter what, you can't get drunk."
As soon as Shen Zicong said these words, Yan Qianfei finally knew why he said those words.
He smiled helplessly and nodded sadly:
"Thank you...Master Shen."
Shen Zicong immediately made a serious face:
"Qian Fei, I told you that in private, just call me Zicong. Calling me Lord Shen is too foreign."
Yan Qianfei nodded:
"Well, I took note of it, Zicong."
Shen Zicong then smiled:
"Yeah. And..."
Yan Qianfei looked at him doubtfully:
"what else???"
Shen Zicong raised his eyebrows:
"When you see the emperor, don't be too surprised. You must stay calm."
Yan Qianfei felt a little strange, but still agreed.
Everyone gathered together for a while and then dispersed.
The next day, when she went to court, Zhong Liyue lay happily on the soft and spacious dragon bed and fell asleep.
Situ Liuyun and Situ Liufeng were already dressed neatly and went to court in high spirits.
This is Yan Qianfei's first time going to court.
When he heard the announcement, his heart beat unimaginably fast, as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
He walked slowly and calmly to the court hall, not daring to raise his head to look at the true face of the emperor. Under the gaze of all the civil and military officials, he saluted Situ Liuyun and Situ Liufeng.
Situ Liuyun kept his black eyes silent and closed his lips.
Situ Liufeng narrowed his long and narrow eyes, slowly grinned an evil smile, and said casually:
"I love you for your life."
Such a familiar voice???
Yan Qianfei felt that this voice was very familiar, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
"I love you for your literary talents. If you achieve the position of No. 1 Scholar and take off your crown, you will definitely be the pillar of the country."
Situ Liufeng spoke lazily and praised Yan Qianfei.
Yan Qianfei felt that the voice was more and more familiar. He couldn't help but feel curious, and finally looked up——
