Shen cried so hard that she cried to the sky. Where was the beauty? After all, the life in the harem in the past few years was too smooth. Shen's father was not a villain. It made his mother lose her sense of proportion and her mind.
Shen Xiyao held Shen's hand tightly and whispered.
"Mother, there is no need to do this. Today, I went to the palace. The queen was very kind to me and even wanted to support me to enter the palace and marry the prince. In the future, when I become a person who is loved by everyone, I will help you get back the humiliation you suffered today a thousand times over."
Shen held her hand.
"Really? Does the Queen really want to support you to enter the palace and marry the Crown Prince?"
"Of course, what the Empress wants is nothing more than the power and status of the Shen family. If that's the case, what's the difference between Shen Xining and me? And I'm still my mother's daughter."
She is also a daughter of the Shen family, and her life is even better than that of Shen Xining.
"Well, you are worthy of being my daughter. I will rely on you for the rest of my life."
Shen Xiyao looked at Shen who was crying loudly, her eyes full of contempt. She slowly withdrew her hand, stood up, looked at her hand with some disgust, put her hands behind her back, and said in a low voice.
"It's getting late, mother. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Shen nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, Yaoyao, when you go out, remember to ask your father to let me out as soon as possible. Mother is really suffering here."
Shen Xiyao's expression was hidden in the darkness. She frowned slightly, a little impatient, and spoke in a low voice.
"I understand. I will try to persuade father. Mother should reflect on herself here. She was also wrong in this matter."
Shen nodded hurriedly, and Shen Xiyao felt that her expression was even more offensive.
In the next half month, the entire Shen family was much more stable. Shen Xining stayed in the room to recuperate. After the Shen family came out of the ancestral hall, they behaved themselves and regained the power of the family. Shen Xiyao wanted to go out for a stroll all day, hoping to meet the Crown Prince by chance. However, because Shen Xining announced that he had caught a cold, Shen Xiyao encountered many obstacles at the banquet. She was anxious and helpless.
Shen Xining was rarely idle. She sat by the windowsill all day, reading, writing, and listening to Xie Zhaoan's occasional flute play. She would always be mesmerized. Although this man's mouth was not very good, the sound of his flute was pleasant to the ears, desolate and sad, but also full of lofty ambitions.
That day, Shen Xining sat down with a book as usual, and the sound of the flute came into his ears again, but this time it didn't last long and stopped. Shen Xining was a little confused, and opened his eyes, just in time to meet Xie Zhaoan's playful eyes.
"you... ... ."
Shen Xining's face rarely turned red. She looked at Xie Zhaoan, at a loss for words, not understanding why he suddenly appeared here.
"Miss Shen, eavesdropping on other people's flute music is not a good habit. When you listen to music outside, you have to tip, right?"
Shen Xining bit her lower lip, with a rare girlish shyness on her face.
"I wasn't eavesdropping. I was just reading."
Xie Zhaoan nodded.
"As expected of a girl from the Shen family, she can still read even with her eyes closed."
Shen Xining felt so ashamed of what he said that he simply gave up on himself.
"I haven't even told you that your flute is too loud and overbearing. It actually reached my ears and left me with nowhere to hide."
Xie Zhaoan is unyielding even though he is right.
"Yes, this flute has been playing for half a month. Miss Shen is a patient person. She actually endured it for half a month without making any sound."
This person...
Do you have to force people to death of shame before you will give up
"So what? I listened to you today. Since you are performing to earn money, I have the right to listen. Now, after listening to the music, I feel that it is not good, so I decide not to reward you. What can you do? "
Oh.
Shen Xining decided to just go for broke and stood up to close the window. Xie Zhaoan put his hand on the window frame and handed him an invitation.
"Three days later, a royal archery competition will be held at the Western Suburbs Grassland. I have heard that the daughter of the Shen family is somewhat knowledgeable in archery. I wonder what Miss Shen thinks?"
Her injuries had just healed when the invitation came. What was Xie Zhaoan up to
Xie Zhaoan stood up. His tall figure covered the window, blocking out a lot of light.
"However, I heard that the Queen seems to be unhappy recently. Because of Miss Shen's proposal that day, the whole country is now involved in the battle with Xijiang. The prince's marriage can only be postponed temporarily. If Miss Shen is not seen at this horse riding and archery competition, I am afraid that the Queen will not be able to have a good ending."
This was not an invitation at all. It was clearly a Hongmen Banquet from the very beginning. Yes, every time the Queen and her son held a banquet, it was always a Hongmen Banquet. But Shen Xining couldn't refuse, and couldn't refuse.
"Don't worry about me, Fourth Prince. I will go there. However, when I get to the racecourse that day, I hope to see you show off your prowess."
Shen Xining spoke the last few words word by word, gritting his teeth. Xie Zhaoan raised an eyebrow. He naturally still remembered what happened at the border before. He couldn't help but want to touch his face. There seemed to be a burning touch there. It really hurt when Shen Xining hit people.
Shen Xining looked at Xie Zhaoan, and the next second, he closed the window without hesitation. The window closed in front of the man's eyes, and his nose was almost hit by the window. The guard was stunned.
"Thank you, Mr.
Xie Zhaoan stretched out his hand.
"I'm fine, let's go."
"Mr. Xie, I really don't understand. In the past half month, you have asked people to send Yueyingwei's top-grade ointment, and even sent Yueyingwei's doctor as well. This woman actually still treats you like this. Just now, if it wasn't... ... almost... ..you would have..."
There was a smile on Xie Zhaoan's lips.
"These are all small matters. The reason why a wild horse is called a wild horse is that it has a fierce temperament and is difficult to tame. If a wild horse can be tamed with these small favors, the value of the wild horse would not be that great."
The guard scratched his head and walked behind Xie Zhaoan, not quite understanding what he was talking about. Why did he seem to be talking about people and horses? But wasn't he talking about Miss Shen just now
Xie Zhaoan had no intention of explaining.
After Shen Xining closed the window, the blush on her face caused by being caught disappeared. Chun Xing stood aside and looked at her embarrassed appearance and laughed.
"It's rare to see Miss in such a state of disgrace. But every time you run into the Fourth Prince, you two always end up bickering."
Is that bickering
It was obvious that Shen Xining was always pissed off by that man's words. Chun Xing restrained her smile and looked at the invitation in Shen Xining's hand.
"Miss, do you want to go to this horseback archery competition?"
