Shen Xian hummed a tuneless tune and asked her servants to bring out the most beautiful clothes and jewelry for her. She had to dress herself up so that Shi Ling would be stunned later. .

But except for her, no one in the whole house was happy.

Zhong Yuan was slightly uneasy in his seat. He kept drinking tea or rubbing his thighs. He opened his mouth several times and didn't know what to say.

On the other hand, Shi Ling had always been relaxed and leisurely, as if he were at home.

Zhong Yuan frowned and felt that his dignified Duke Ding was actually afraid of him. He straightened his back immediately and said, "I wonder why the prince came to visit you this time?"

Shi Ling: "Don't worry, sir, I definitely don't want to get involved with you again."

Zhong Yuan's face froze.

He was afraid of Shi Ling because this boy was the eyes of the Holy Sage. As long as he found out anything wrong, he would not let it go.

Before that, he had just done a favor to help someone and held an official position in the court. His Majesty always turned a blind eye to this kind of thing, as long as the person was capable of doing something, but who knew that Shi Ling The complaint was actually brought directly to the court, and His Majesty had no choice but to pretend not to see it.

He was fined half a year's salary and even scolded him.

Now that he thought about it, Zhong Yuan couldn't help but give Shi Ling a blank look.

"This king is here today..."

As soon as the words came to his mouth, there was a sound of familiar footsteps outside the door. The man seemed to be running a little fast, but he stopped outside the door. He didn't know what he was doing, which made Shi Ling and Shen Chongyuan wait for a while before coming in.

Shen Xian was naturally beautiful. There was no other girl in the capital who was more beautiful than her. Now that she was dressed up so carefully, it was even more difficult to take away her eyes.

The moment Shi Ling raised his eyes, something seemed to flash in his eyes, but they soon returned to normal.

Zhong Yuan frowned when he saw this, turned to observe Shi Ling, and was relieved when he found that there was nothing strange about him.

He doesn’t want Shi Ling to be his son-in-law!

"Ruan Ruan has met his father." He then turned to stare at Shi Ling and said with a pursed lip, "I have met His Highness Prince Xuan."

Shi Ling nodded, and Zhong Yuan hurriedly said: "Since Ruan Ruan is here, can the prince explain clearly why he is here?"

"I would like to ask Miss Shen Er for a favor."

Shen Xian blinked and stared at him. The latter calmly raised his head with a calm expression, but she felt a little disappointed.

It turns out that I just wanted to ask her for help, not because I missed her?

Shi Ling, I only remembered it when I asked her for something. When I had nothing to do, I couldn't even find a trace of her. Do you really think that she, Shen Xian, is just a grass in the wind, and she can follow you just by blowing the wind?

As she was thinking, she saw Shi Ling looking at her and raising the corners of his lips, as if he was laughing at her funny expression at the moment.

But he looks so pretty when he smiles.

She is really a loser and has no future!

"Your Majesty is really good at joking. Ruan Ruan never leaves the house without leaving the door. How can he help the Prince?" Zhong Yuan stood up. Although there was a smile on his face, he winked at Shen Xian, as if it was a warning.

Shen Xian seemed not to have heard: "If you can help, please tell me, Your Majesty."

Shi Ling covered the smile at the corner of his mouth with one hand and said slowly: "Draw a portrait of Chen Dong."

Shen Xian suddenly thought of Zhou Niang, looked at Shi Ling in surprise, and said with a smile: "I knew that the prince was a good person and he would do what he said!"

"So, help?"

"Help!" Shen Xian looked at him with a smile as if she was afraid that Ling would run away after she agreed, completely forgetting all the ladylike restraints.

Zhong Yuan stood behind the two of them, looking at his daughter and Shi Ling with a look of horror on his face.

Why did he feel that his daughter was serious? He just thought about it in his mind that Shi Ling had become his son-in-law. Staring at him every day made him feel uncomfortable all over!

So he immediately said: "No! The big things that the prince wants to do, although Ruan Ruan usually has some clumsiness, how can he compare with the adults of the Ministry of Justice? Otherwise, I think it's better to forget it." After saying that, he asked Shen Xian to go back.

Shi Ling frowned slightly.

"Does the Duke mean not to release people?"

What he hated the most was that Shi Ling didn't know how to beat around the bush, and any good words he said turned out to be the truth.

Shen Xian turned around and stared at her father for a long time. Both of them were tired and failed to convince each other. Shi Ling, who had been waiting for a long time, seemed a little impatient, so he stood up and stared at Shen Xian: "If you come, I will go to the country tomorrow." Waiting at the gate of Xiangsi."

After saying that, the man left. When Zhong Yuan saw him leaving, he immediately dropped his face and sat back down with a cold snort.

Shen Xian originally wanted to give him away but was afraid of Shen Shengyuan's anger, so she reluctantly walked up to her father and said coquettishly: "Dad, the prince finally came to me, what are you doing?"

"Is he looking for you? He is looking for you to do something!"

"Isn't that the same?"

Zhong Yuan's eyes widened: "Can it be the same? Doesn't a young lady from the Duke's Palace know what reserve is?"

Shen Xian stretched out her hand and tugged on Zhong Yuan's clothes, and said in a softer tone: "Isn't it just that Daddy is still angry and declares that the king is suing you? Think about it, if I take him down, when he becomes the uncle of our Duke's palace, , Daddy can scold him as much as he wants. If he dares to say no to you, I will never let him off lightly, your daughter!"

Zhong Yuan thought for a while and seemed a little shaken.

Suddenly he squinted his eyes again to see his daughter's appearance. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and said angrily: "I don't know you yet? After hearing that King Xuan came to the palace, he started to paint his eyebrows and lips. I don't think that King Xuan is interested in you, but you. I just have to write the word "pursuit" on my face!"

"I'm not shying away."

"you!"

Shen Xian immediately comforted him: "Oh dad, how can I have any affection for Prince Xuan? I am just because he is Prince Xuan and the uncle of the third prince. If I marry him, he will not be worse than Xiao Hui, so I will not lose him." I am the face of Duke Guofu. Besides, he is indeed good-looking. Think about it. From now on, King Xuan will have to call you dad and salute you. His son is your grandson. He can train him how he wants. He dares to say One sentence? Forget about the lawsuit against you, it’s up to you to decide whether he can be allowed in or not!"

Zhong Yuan stroked his beard and thought: "It seems to make sense, but..."

"It's nothing but your daughter and I marrying King Xuan will be of great benefit and no harm. If you continue to stop me, there will be no shop like this after passing this village."

Zhong Yuan stared at her with a look of realization: "Yeah! That's the truth."

If Shi Ling became his son-in-law, would he still dare to be so arrogant? Wouldn't it be him, Zhong Yuan, who had the final say?

Seeing that his expression was getting more and more interesting, Shen Xian stepped forward and asked, "Daddy, can I go tomorrow?"

"Go! Of course you have to go and let King Xuan know how capable my daughter Zhongyuan is."

"Dad is absolutely right! Then I'll go get ready first so I won't disturb Daddy." After saying that, he happily picked up his skirt and went out.

Taking Xiang Nong with her, she returned to Qingshui Residence and immediately started to prepare what to wear tomorrow so as not to look too deliberate, but it also had to make Shi Ling's eyes shine.

Fortunately, she was pretty and had a good face, so she didn't have to worry too much.

small theater:

Shen Xian: "Dad, he is not a poor boy. He is His Royal Highness Prince Xuan. Our family is high-ranking. I don't care, I just want to marry him!"

Zhong Yuan: "He is not a poor boy. Your father will turn him into a dead boy in a while, and he will be a bad boy in two days: =d"

Shi Ling: "?"
