Chapter Nineteen Finding Someone

After entering the red building, the servant led her to a small room that belonged to her and Shen Yao alone, and ordered people to quickly bring the food and food.

Shen Yao has been looking at the room curiously. The space is not big, but the building is very beautiful, with many fresh flowers and plants placed. There is also a large window that can directly see what is happening in the lobby downstairs from upstairs.

"Miss Shen, this is the list of all the contestants coming to the Red Mansion this time. Do you want to take a look?"

Xiang Nong took the pamphlet from the boy's hand and opened it to show it to Shen Xian. Shen Xian had no interest in it at first, but her eyes stopped on the names of two people.

Shi Ying and Shi Ling!

Shi Ling actually came to participate in the Red Mansion Poetry Recital.

Shen Xian felt that it was an opportunity given to her by God, so she immediately asked with a smile: "Did King Xuan and the Fifth Princess come together?"

The boy shook his head: "The fifth princess came with several ladies, but King Xuan came alone."

"Where is King Xuan?"

The boy was startled and seemed a little embarrassed. After all, that was King Xuan.

Shen Xian didn't force anyone, she just waved her hand and let them go.

Then he kept looking down, trying to find Shi Ling's figure in the lobby.

However, she didn't understand why Shi Ling came to participate in the poetry meeting. This was the first time she saw Shi Ling come to such a place in so many years.

Could it be that he came to find her?

I really haven't looked for him these days. Is he anxious?

Shen Xian felt a little proud because of this guess, so she said that since she was born with such a beautiful face, Shi Ling would definitely be attracted to her since she was not blind.

Some were happy and some were sad. When Shi Ying saw her uncle's name on the list, she almost threw the list away.

Shi Ying has been afraid of this imperial uncle since she was a child. When she was a child, she was sent to Prince Xuan's Mansion for a period of time because she was too naughty. Then she never wanted to go there again in her life. Seeing her imperial uncle was no different than seeing the King of Hell.

Is it possible that the emperor's uncle came to take her back today?

She wasn't originally going to participate in any poetry gathering today. The little sisters said that many handsome men would come today, and she had reached the marriageable age and wanted to find a considerate husband for herself.

She sat far away from the window for fear of being seen by the emperor's uncle.

Finally, with the sound of a gong, the organizer of the Red Mansion loudly introduced the rules of the Red Mansion Poetry Society, which simply stated that everyone should not plagiarize in their answers, and those who violated the rules would never enter the Red Mansion.

Another gong sounded, and a huge scroll was projected from the center of the lobby. Everyone could see the words on the scroll from the window, which were the two characters "Feng Yue" in big letters.

"Fengyue is the question of this poetry meeting. Please start your answers."

Then someone brought pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Shen Yao walked around the room and answered the questions seriously, but Shen Xian was so preoccupied with wondering where Shi Ling was that she didn't even think about answering the questions.

However, the Red Mansion is still very user-friendly. Those who gave up answering could go to the backyard garden to enjoy the scenery, so Shen Xian directly greeted Shen Yao and left the room.

When she arrived in the garden, there were already some noble ladies chatting and laughing. She attracted attention as soon as she appeared. Some of the gentlemen looked at her blatantly with fiery eyes, but Shen Xian only wanted to find Shi Ling.

After walking around a large rose stand, Shen Xian turned around and bumped into Shi Ying. Both of them were frightened by the other.

"Fifth Princess?"

"Shen Xian?"

The two took half a step away, and Shi Ying frowned and asked her, "What are you doing here?"

Shen Xian responded generously: "I'm looking for someone. Where are you, Fifth Princess?"

Shi Ying coughed lightly and licked her lips: "I'm hiding from people."

"Oh, it can't be His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, right?"

"How do you know?" After saying this, he suddenly realized: "The person you are looking for is probably my imperial uncle!"

Shen Xian smiled and nodded: "So the princess knows where King Xuan is?"

Shi Ying groaned, crossed her arms and said, "Why should I tell you? You made me look bad last time and I haven't even settled the score with you yet."

"Princess, have you ever thought that it wasn't me who made you look embarrassed, but your playmates?"

Shi Ying frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? They are helping me, they..." At the end of the sentence, she couldn't continue and turned her head away from looking at her in frustration.

Shen Xian didn't need to say more.

She has not dealt with her since she was a child, and compared to the young ladies who cater to her so diligently, she really does not believe in herself.

Shi Ying left angrily. Shen Xian looked at the road she had just come from, then raised her eyebrows and walked over.

The garden built by this red building is really beautiful. Large tracts of flowers are clinging to the flower stand to cover the head. The sunlight can only be projected through the gaps. Shen Xian walked for who knows how long with her skirt and finally heard the voice of someone speaking. Just leaving Deyuan couldn't hear clearly what was being said, but there was definitely a male voice that belonged to Shi Ling.

She walked around the flower stand. The place was empty, no one came at all, so she soon saw that Ling was joking with a woman in the distance, and that woman was Xiao Hui!

The sunshine today was particularly dazzling, making Shen Xian's eyes turn red.

He has never smiled at her!

Oh, I laughed, I laughed.

But why does it have to be Xiao Hui? What charm does she have that can make the men she likes, Shen Xian, fall into her arms one after another?

And didn’t Xiao Hui just marry Shi Yu? She’s already married, do you like her that much, Shi Ling?

Then wouldn't she become a joke again?

After a while, they finished chatting. She couldn't see Xiao Hui's face. She only knew that she was walking in a panic, and Shi Ling actually stared at Xiao Hui's back for a long time before turning around and walking in the opposite direction.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he met Shen Xian's eyes. Shi Ling's expression showed no change, but his steps paused.

Shen Xian felt stuffy in her heart, snorted and turned around to leave.

Why should she encounter this kind of thing? Why does it always happen to be Xiao Hui? How is she not as good-looking as Xiao Hui and why is she not as good as Xiao Hui?

"Shen Xian."

He is calling himself.

But Shen Xian also has a backbone. If you call me, do I have to look back?

What do you think she is?

So he lowered his head and ran forward with all his strength. Shi Ling watched helplessly as she was about to hit the wall. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed her, speechless: "Where are your eyes?"

Shen Xian struggled for a moment, turned around and saw the wall she almost hit, and gritted her teeth: "I'm blind, I saw something I shouldn't have seen!"

Shi Ling: "..."

"What did you see?"

Shen Xian squinted and scolded him: "What else can I see? Is there anything else I shouldn't see?"

Shi Ling suddenly raised his lips, let go of her arm and looked down at her, as if he was watching something funny.

She smiled so beautifully at Xiao Hui just now, but she looked so dead to herself!

"Stop thinking so wildly and spreading rumors about me, and go back."

She saw it with her own eyes, this person actually defaulted on his debt!

Then he said: "I have seen it with both eyes. If the prince wants to keep your reputation, he should stay away from her."

Shi Ling looked at her calmly: "Since both eyes have seen it, just gouge out both eyes so that you don't have to look at it in the future."
