The prince is wearing a white fox-fur cloak, and the inside is also a moon-white brocade with dark embroidered python patterns on it. He wears a white jade crown and a gold belt on his body. On the right side is a python-pattern jade pendant, and on the left side is a sachet.His appearance is handsome and dignified, somewhat similar to Li Di, but because of Li Di's blood of Hu people, his eyebrows and eyes are deeper, his nose bridge is also straighter, and when he doesn't smile, he has a natural chill.

In comparison, Crown Prince Li Jing looked much gentler, with a pair of fox eyes that always seemed to be smiling, and the corners of his lips were always raised, it could be said that he was smiling like Yanyan, with a face like a crown of jade.But Shen Chu has read the original book, and knows that the prince's appearance is quite deceptive. If he can be used by him, he can deceive you to your heart's content. If he can't be used by him, then he will definitely use thunderous methods to kill people invisible.

As a prince, he has practiced the emperor's art quite well.

The prince picked up the wine glass and said to Li Di, "Today's opportunity is really rare. I can meet my fifth brother by chance on this boat and spend the festive season together."

"Fifth brother is brave and good at fighting, and has made great contributions to our Yunmeng Dynasty. I would like to toast you."

Others present also respected Li Di.

Li Di said earnestly and solemnly, "This is the duty of a minister as a minister." He said everything.

The prince gave a hearty laugh, and said to the crowd, "This fifth brother is just like this. He has always acted like he rejects people thousands of miles away, so don't worry about it."

Naturally, everyone present agreed and dared not.

Shen Chu, however, was full of suspicion, thinking that what the prince said was so strange, everyone was used to Li Di's appearance, and they still wanted to say it, it seemed to be protecting, but actually it seemed to be emphasizing.He thought to himself, Li Di is actually pretty good, it's just that he doesn't understand these things.

Prince: "However, I didn't expect the fifth younger brother to be so upbeat today, to enjoy the lantern parade with Mr. Shen. It seems that the rumors I heard recently are not fake."

Someone with a bad mind and wanted to offer a good gift in front of the crown prince answered, "I don't know what rumors His Royal Highness is talking about?"

The prince laughed and said, "It can't be true, it can't be true, the rumors say that the fifth younger brother is in love with Mr. Shen."

"Gu just didn't believe it at first, but after seeing Mr. Shen's true face recently, I feel that the rumors are not necessarily fake. After all, Mr. Shen's godlike appearance can melt Gu's fifth brother who is like an iceberg of thousands of years Impossible."

There were surprises, knowing smiles, fun, pity, contempt and embarrassment, and the emotions on their faces were wonderful.

Someone answered the conversation there, "What His Royal Highness said is so true, even the girl Koudan from Baihuafang pales in comparison with Mr. Shen."

It is not uncommon for the Yunmeng Dynasty to be masculine, especially in the children of nobles and the Southern Kingdom. However, the Fifth Prince, who has made great military achievements and is unsmiling, is in love with a bastard who was kicked out of the Ningyuan Houfu. The feeling that the fifth prince had fallen from the altar even made them feel a little contemptuous.

Shen Chu felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, denying it would be too disrespectful to Li Di, admitting it, he and Li Di became grasshoppers tied to the same rope, and would definitely become a thorn in the prince's side and a thorn in his flesh. The most important thing is that he didn't speak at all here. portion.The meaning inside and outside the words of the prince seems to be joking and holding him up, but in fact, in his words, he is no different from this oiran who judges people by their appearance.

The prince stared at Li Didao with blazing eyes, "Fifth brother, what do you think?"

Li Di looked back at the prince, and said calmly, "I don't know that His Royal Highness is so well-informed. The younger brother and Mr. Shen really hit it off at first sight, and they seem to cherish each other as bosom friends."

"A daughter is easy to get, but a confidant is hard to find, not to mention a talented person like Mr. Shen. It is an honor for me to get acquainted with Mr. Shen."

The eyes of the people looking at Shen Chu couldn't help becoming envious. To be cited as a confidant by the fifth prince and to be placed in such a high position is something that people like them can't meet but can't ask for. The so-called scholars die for their confidants. For these noble children, there is even a great temptation.

They enjoy the superior position brought to them by power and wealth, but except for the top position, everyone is overwhelmed by this power and wealth, but what they don't know is that even at the top That position is also extremely cold.

A thousand gold is easy to get, but a confidant is hard to find, especially a confidant and king who can die for it, it is even more unbelievable.

Shen Chu lowered his brows and eyes, covering up the shock on his face. Li Di's words came from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't admit or deny the prince's words, but changing the words made all the people present change their attitudes. It also relieved his embarrassment and ugliness. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved.

Shen Chu thought, it would be a great blessing to have a confidant like this.It's a pity that it's enough for Li Di to deceive others with his words. This person seems to want to be his confidant, and he obviously wants to correct his status as a son-in-law's father.

But he still felt a bit abrupt about Li Di's thoughts. With Li Di's character and the city, how could he have such thoughts about him after only seeing him a few times? It's really unreasonable.

The prince laughed and said, "It's so easy to get a daughter, but hard to find a confidant, so I'm going to offer my fifth younger brother a cup."

This time only the prince and Li Di had another drink.

The crown prince turned his head again, and said to Shen Zhuang, "Speaking of which, this Young Master Shen is still Fei Yu's concubine brother. Marquis Ning Yuan is worthy of being one of the Shen family's twin jades in the capital. The young men born here, one or two, are all like this Yushu Zhilan, Linlin Junxiu."

Shen Zhuang didn't take it seriously, and snorted, "His Royal Highness is absurd. Since Mr. Shen has been removed from the Shen family tree, it has nothing to do with me."

The crown prince didn't take it seriously, and smiled lightly, "It's Gu who said the wrong thing, which made Fei Yu unhappy."

Shen Chu was puzzled, thinking that the prince's attitude towards his cheap brother was too tolerant, and his cheap brother was obviously presumptuous when talking to the prince.

He looked at his cheap younger brother carefully, and he had to say that his features were somewhat similar to his, but he also inherited the advantages of Wang's. His appearance was nothing to say, but he didn't think much about it, he just felt that Shen Zhuang She is several years younger than the crown prince, and the queen has always loved Wang's sister very much, so it is not unreasonable for the crown prince to indulge Shen Zhuang.

Li Di and Shen Chu were unfamiliar with most of the people here, so sitting here made both of them feel uncomfortable.After a few glasses of wine, Li Di took Shen Chu and left first, and the crown prince didn't want to keep him.

Shen Chu felt that his role as an escort was really delicate and embarrassing, and he was always at the center of the topic, but the crown prince never asked him to say a word, it was obvious that he didn't take him seriously, and it was just a talk to make fun of Li Di That's all.Although he has this self-knowledge, the feeling of being treated like this is really fucked up.

The two of them boarded the light boat back to the shore again, and the bitter river wind blew away the heat of the warm aroma of the wine, which made people sober up a lot.

Shen Chu rubbed his face with his hands, and said bitterly in his heart, "Don't bully young people into being poor, one day the dragon will wear the phoenix, don't believe that you will wear holes in your trousers forever." (Note)

Li Di on the side grabbed his hand, warm and dry heat came from his palm, Shen Chu looked at him suspiciously.

"The good lights and fireworks were all ruined by these irrelevant people. I will make up for you in the future."

Shen Chu was amused by his serious tone, and thought to himself that this person thinks long-term, but who can say well about the future.

When they got to the shore, Qingzhu and the carriage stood guard there, and Li Di held his hand and didn't let go until he got home.

Only then did Shen Chu realize that Li Di had probably been drinking, and he was so cowardly, so he was holding on to him all the time as he became more courageous.And he was probably because when everyone looked at him with contempt on their faces, and Li Di's words in the painting gave him respect that many people present did not give him.

······

The next day, Shen Mo went out for a long journey.

On the first day of the second lunar month, Daji, the crown prince got married, and married Feng Jiao, the second daughter of General Feng Cang of Zhenyuan.The emperor pardoned the world and held Enke on the tenth day of March.The whole world celebrated together, and all the students all over the world were very grateful to the prince.

This Feng Jiao is Feng Jing's younger sister, but not from a mother. Feng Jiao's biological mother is Zhenyuan General Feng Cang Xuxian.

A grand and grand ceremony was held for the prince's wedding, and the entire Bianjing city was shrouded in a festive atmosphere, and the common people were envious of the ten-mile red makeup.

However, there are also many students like Shen Chu who, in order to prepare for the upcoming Enke, keep their ears to the outside world and only read sage books. Except for three meals a day, they are basically reviewing the Four Books and Five Classics.

After the prince got married, Taixue resumed classes, but in order to allow students to have enough time to prepare for Enke, there were not many courses arranged.

During this period of time, even Zai Zai became much more obedient. He eats obediently, sleeps obediently, plays with Rolling Big Black, Little White, Huang, Green, and Hua during the day, and will not always pester his father.Sometimes he would accompany his father on both sides, Shen Chu would review his own books, and Zai Zai would practice calligraphy there or read the enlightenment books Shen Chu had prepared for him, there was a different kind of warmth in the study for one big and one young.

When Shen Chu suddenly came back to his senses, he found that Zai Zai had grown up a lot, and his heart felt sore and swollen, thinking that this child really changes every day, and changes extremely quickly with just one wrong eye.But seeing that Zai Zai is so sensible at such a young age, my heart is so warm, I feel that if there is such a Zai Zai, what qualifications does he have not to work hard.

In a blink of an eye, it was Enke's day. The day before Shen Chu took a good rest, took Zai Zai to eat a bowl of Zhang Laosan beef noodles, bought a candied haws for Zai Zai, and added some pens, ink, paper and inkstone. Just entered the examination room and participated in the three-day Enke.
