The rain is falling, the wind is blowing wildly, and the trees are about to break.

Shen Yuanhe opened the car door and saw Shi Ying, who had been soaked by the heavy rain. He frowned and seemed helpless: "Princess, the rain is pouring, please go back to the palace quickly."

After that, he took the umbrella from the coachman, opened it and walked out of the carriage.

"I'll lend you this carriage to the princess. Don't hurt yourself."

Shi Ying didn't know whether it was rain or tears on her face. She stared straight at Shen Yuanhe, but found that he didn't even look at her.

She bit her lower lip: "Why don't you want to marry me?"

Shen Yuanhe's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness, and he shook his head: "I am not worthy."

"Who said that!? If this princess says you are worthy, then you are worthy!"

As she spoke, she took a step closer to Shen Yuanhe, but unexpectedly, Shen Yuanhe avoided her.

Shi Ying was a little startled.

Puzzled: "You...are avoiding me?"

"Why?" She didn't cry in the rain just now, but now she felt her eyes were sore.

Shen Yuanhe: "Princess, please go back."

He wanted to bypass Shi Ying and leave, but Shi Ying suddenly opened his arms to stop her unwillingly and gritted his teeth: "Shen Yuanhe, since you don't want to marry me, why do you want to be nice to me? Why do you have to ask someone to take care of me and give me gifts before leaving? What do I like?"

Shi Ying didn't believe that he really had no feelings for her.

But when she looked up, she saw a distant look in Shen Yuanhe's eyes. He was clearly smiling, but Shi Ying felt that he really didn't like her at all.

"If the princess feels that I like you like this, then I will no longer violate the rules like this in the future."

That's not what she wanted to hear.

Shen Yuanhe said sorry and left.

That's it again.

Why is everyone treating her like this? They are obviously good to her, but they don't like her.

Then what exactly is she in their eyes?

"Shen Yuanhe!"

Shen Yuanhe paused while stepping on his boots in the rain.

Shi Ying's voice came from behind: "So what if you don't like me? As long as this princess likes you, that's fine. I will definitely marry you!"

Shen Yuanhe closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something. Finally, he opened his eyes and looked sideways at Shi Ying.

He said slowly: "Princess, do you think that if I didn't refuse the marriage yesterday, Your Majesty would really let you and me get married?"

"Why not?"

Her father loves her the most and will agree to whatever she wants.

She is just a consort, and her father will definitely agree to her.

Shen Yuanhe shook his head: "Dacheng's consort has never been able to serve as an official in the court and is not allowed to interfere in the government's affairs. I am not willing to be just a little consort, and your father will not allow his new top scholar, the newly appointed Minister of Household Affairs Become useless."

Shen Yuanhe put aside the reality before the two of them word by word.

Shi Ying still looked ignorant and innocent, so Shen Yuanhe had no choice but to walk in front of her and tilt the umbrella towards her.

His words were cold: "I have been studying classics and history books since I was a child, and I left home to study year after year for the imperial examination. In order to benefit the country for the official side, I want to leave my name, Shen Yuanhe, in the history books of Dacheng. Not to be anyone’s husband.”

"Princess, do you understand?"

Shi Ying's eyes were red and she didn't want to believe it, but Shen Yuanhe's cold eyes reminded her.

Shen Yuanhe doesn't want her for his own future.

It wasn't until Shen Yuanhe walked far away that she burst into tears, which was louder than the sound of rain falling on the ground.

The little palace maid held an umbrella and went over to comfort her, but she saw Shi Ying wiping away her tears fiercely and shouting: "Isn't she just a minister? This princess is still determined to marry you!"

The little palace maid was helpless.

Sir, why don't you come back and talk about it later? The princess doesn't understand!

Shen Yuanhe walked back to the house with a cold face, but luckily he entered the house in less than half a street.

As soon as he stepped across the threshold, he saw a figure ducking away. He turned around and scolded: "Which girl who doesn't know how to count doesn't come out yet?"

Shen Xian tugged on the exposed corner of her clothes and faced the wall in embarrassment.

It was a little embarrassing to see my brother reject the princess's proposal.

Moreover, she felt that Shen Yuanhe was too cruel. Shi Ying was already mentally ill and yet he was so cruel to her. What if she was stimulated and her brain became even worse?

Shen Yuanhe walked over and breathed a sigh of relief when he found it was him.

"What are you doing standing here on a rainy day?"

"...Make a wish." After a pause: "Brother, don't you know that making wishes on a rainy day is very effective?"

Shen Yuanhe frowned.

He looked at the wall she faced and said with a smile: "Then what wish did you make?"

Shen Xian: "It won't work if I say it, let's go."

Shen Xian raised her skirt and was about to take the umbrella and leave. Unexpectedly, the person behind her suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

"I want to drag you to do something."

She wouldn't be embarrassed to talk to her about this.

Turning around: "What?"

Shen Yuanhe lowered his eyebrows, his long eyelashes blocking his eyes.

He looks somewhat similar to Shen Xian, so many people thought he was a girl since he was a child. He only looks different when he smiles, so he smiles often.

Now that he stopped smiling, Shen Xian felt that they were no longer similar.

"Help me make the princess give up."

Shen Xian was stunned.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still didn't understand what it meant.

It stands to reason that if Shen Yuanhe doesn't like someone, he won't care whether she lives or dies. Now he clearly cares about her, but he is turning the person away.

Shen Xian frowned: "Brother, I don't understand."

Shen Yuanhe twitched the corners of his lips: "It doesn't matter, you know her temperament well, just know how to measure it. All you need to do is make her give up on me."

"Then brother, you..."

"I'm going back first, you should go back earlier too."

Shen Xian followed Shen Yuanhe away with her eyes, feeling very puzzled.

Brother, why don't you act awkward?

And he was so cruel to Shi Ying. If she had left long ago, Shi Yinggui would be more noble than her as a princess, so he should be able to figure it out, right?

However, it turns out that she overestimated Shi Ying's dignity.

Spring is the best time for boating, especially since Zhong Mingyue rarely shows up in front of others, so she rented a big boat with Shen Xian. As soon as she got in, the tea was not brewed and she couldn't wait to grab Shen Xian to gossip.

She was cracking melon seeds and looked excited.

"Only the people in the palace know about this. I will tell you alone. Don't tell anyone else!"

Shen Xian chuckled and lowered her head to make tea without caring.

Zhong Mingyue: "Last night the fifth princess went to see the Holy Lord and asked that her name be revoked."

The cooked bowl in Shen Xian's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and hot water spilled all over the floor. Zhong Mingyue quickly pulled her away to avoid being burned.

But I can understand Shen Xian's surprise.

He continued: "Don't get excited now, you will be more excited later."

"The fifth princess asked herself to become a commoner just to marry your brother. The Holy Sage was so angry that he slapped her in the face. But the fifth princess was not awake and actually knelt outside the palace gate in the middle of the night. Even the queen watched. When she stopped going, I scolded her back."

Shen Xian looked uneasy, grabbed Zhong Mingyue's Taoist hand and asked: "Is the Holy One dissatisfied with my brother?"

Zhong Mingyue: "I don't know about that. I greeted the Queen early this morning and came out to inform you."

Shen Xian suddenly panicked.

Shi Ying, an idiot, has nothing else on his mind besides her love and affection?
