Chapter 388 Showing Goodwill
Not long after, Shen Shuyi arrived at the place where he had agreed to meet with Yao Huiyan.
Yao Huiyan was wearing a goose yellow skirt with white plush piping, which made her not-so-stunning face look quite pretty.
"Sister Shuyi."
Seeing Shen Shuyi, Yao Huiyan walked up to her and held Shen Shuyi's hand affectionately, obviously quite happy.
"Sister Huiyan." Shen Shuyi responded gently. It can be seen that Yao Huiyan is living well in Tutor Wang's mansion.
"I asked my aunt a few times about the matter you asked me last time, and she also asked my uncle for me..."
Having said this, Yao Huiyan paused with some apology.
Obviously, she felt a little guilty that she couldn't get it done.
Shen Shuyi was not surprised and consoled him, "Lord Wang is both a court official and the prince's teacher. He is already busy and well-known. How could he easily agree to accept a student he has never met?"
What Shen Shuyi asked Yao Huiyan to do was not something else, but to ask Master Wang to accept his brother as a student.
After all, she didn't need to worry too much about her brother's health at the moment, but he had fallen behind in his studies for a long time.
Even if he is hardworking and intelligent, he would be able to avoid many detours if someone could give him some guidance.
She thought about it for a long time and felt that Master Wang was quite suitable. However, as she expected, since Master Wang was the prince's teacher, he would not easily accept students.
His brother had never met him before, and he had a reputation as a madman. Master Wang was careful about his reputation, so naturally he would not agree.
"My aunt has a very good impression of you, and I persuaded her, but my uncle won't give in. I will try harder later, but you don't have to be anxious." Yao Huiyan said with a smile.
She doesn't have many friends in Beijing, and she gets along especially well with Shen Shuyi.
Although they seldom met each other often, they exchanged letters from time to time, and became closer and closer.
"Thank you, Sister Huiyan." Shen Shuyi thanked her earnestly, and the two of them chatted while walking in the woods.
Although the weather is cold, it has a coolness and comfort that a greenhouse cannot bring.
Before he walked too far, Jianpo stepped forward and whispered, "Miss, big..."
Jianpo hesitated for a moment when he saw Yao Huiyan, and Shen Shuyi said gently: "Go ahead, it's okay."
"Song Tingshan made an appointment with Shen Jingyu."
Shen Shuyi glanced at her and said softly, "Location."
After Jianpo gave the direction, Shen Shuyi said again: "Find a way to lure Qin's cousin Lou Yulan here."
"Yes."
After that, Shen Shuyi looked at Yao Huiyan and said, "Let's go and see the excitement too."
"Okay." Yao Huiyan nodded.
After walking for not too long, the two came to a low slope. Looking down from afar, they could see Song Tingshan and Shen Jingyu standing opposite each other.
Shen Jingyu could be said to be very proud at this moment. Although she was always calm and not ostentatious, she received the reward from Emperor Qianwu and the Empress Dowager, so as to show her respect, she still chose a pair of hairpins to wear.
At this moment, the girl is wearing a light pink peony dress, which exudes a calm temperament, elegance and brilliance.
Xiao Tingshan was wearing a blue brocade robe, a white cloak, a jade crown on his head, and had a clear and elegant face.
The two of them stood facing each other, and anyone who saw them would have to praise them, saying what a perfect couple.
Shen Jingyu looked at the man in front of her and said softly, "Prince Song asked me to meet him here, but do you have anything to say?"
Xiao Tingshan looked at the girl in front of him. He couldn't tell why, but he felt that her radiance seemed to have faded a lot compared to before.
He didn't know why he suddenly thought of Shen Shuyi at this moment.
The girl was completely different from Shen Jingyu in front of her. She was cold but unruly, cautious but conceited, seemingly humble but extremely proud. She was kind but actually cruel and ruthless, with a heart of stone.
Xiao Tingshan collected his thoughts, coughed a few times, and then said in a deep voice: "I just want to know, did Miss Shen's maid really see the black bug in the tent of the Third Imperial Concubine?"
Shen Jingyu's mind was racing, and she didn't understand what he meant by asking this question.
"Of course, how dare I deceive Your Majesty." Shen Jingyu spoke slowly, paused, and said to Xiao Tingshan: "But I am still very grateful for your advice, Lord."
Xiao Tingshan frowned, not understanding what she meant.
Without waiting for him to ask again, Shen Jingyu handed him a brown wooden box and said, "Among the gifts from the Queen Mother, there is a thousand-year-old ginseng. I think the prince should be able to use it."
Xiao Tingshan remained silent, and felt that something seemed to be wrong.
It's not like he hadn't tried to make overtures to Shen Jingyu before, but the daughter of the Shen family aspired to a higher position, and although she had never embarrassed him, she kept her distance from him.
At this moment, Lou Yulan was hiding behind a thick tree trunk, watching the two of them from afar.
Seeing that Shen Jingyu actually gave something to Xiao Tingshan, Lou Yulan's eyes turned red, her fingers tightly clasped the tree trunk, and suddenly she felt indescribable jealousy and hatred.
Xiao Tingshan took it and said, "Thank you, Miss Shen."
Shen Jingyu looked at Xiao Tingshan and said again: "It's not a good place to be around the Third Prince. The prince has always been smart. If he wants to find another wise master one day, I may be able to introduce him to someone else."
Xiao Tingshan looked confused. He thought he seemed to know what Shen Jingyu had misunderstood.
"Miss Shen thought that it was me..."
Xiao Tingshan didn't know what to say, but Shen Jingyu thought he had revealed something to her?
Shen Jingyu smiled and said, "I will remember your kindness, and if you are in trouble in the future, I will do my best to help you."
Xiao Tingshan's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Now that things have happened, there is no way to reverse it. It would be nice if Shen Jingyu mistakenly thought that she owed him one.
The two chatted for a while, and Shen Shuyi caught a glimpse of the figure behind the tree trunk and curled the corners of his lips.
Not long after, Xiao Tingshan turned around and left first. Shen Jingyu waited there for a while before leaving.
But before she had walked far, Lou Yulan couldn't help but come out from behind the tree.
As if he didn't expect her to be here, Shen Jingyu was a little stunned, and then seeing her eyes red, he couldn't help but frowned.
Lou Yulan choked up and said, "Cousin, don't you want to be the prince's consort? Don't you want that position? If that's the case, why do you still want to pester the prince Song?"
There was anger in Lou Yulan's eyes. She felt that she had been cheated, and badly cheated.
Judging from the way the two of them were talking happily just now, it was obvious that they were already very familiar with each other. If Shen Jingyu hadn't been flirting with Prince Song in this way, how could Prince Song have been obsessed with her?
Shen Jingyu didn't seem to expect that she would come up with such a conclusion, and said with a somewhat mocking smile: "I pester him?"
Lou Yulan clenched her teeth and looked at her in silence.
Shen Jingyu said coldly: "Yulan, you have to understand, if he insists on liking me, what can I do? I can't control other people's feelings after all."
"I know you like him, but you can't be so unreasonable. Even if you don't have the ability to make him like you, you shouldn't blame me."
