Quick Wear: Give the Resentful Man a Home

After the show, Shan Changyang asked the two of them to ride in his carriage, but Shen Fuqing quickly refused, fearing that Duan Wu would agree without hesitation.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. We two still need to go to the west of the city to pick up the cakes we ordered. It's a bit of a detour, so I won't bother you, Your Highness."

Shan Changyang also became interested when he heard it. "It just so happens that I also want to go to Fanghezhai in the west of the city to buy some things."

Shen Fuqing glanced at Duan Wu, his eyes seemed to be sharpening a knife.

Duan Wu politely refused, "I am staying at the Shen Mansion temporarily now. If I take the prince's car back, I'm afraid it will alarm the elders of the Shen family. Let's forget it."

Shan Changyang felt a little regretful when he heard this, but he also knew that what he said made sense. After watching the Shen family carriage leave, he smiled and said to the people around him, "Go check if there is anything wrong with this man."

The man teased, "Your Majesty, are you interested in her again?"

Shan Changyang did not deny it. "He is so tall that he doesn't look like a Yan person. I have doubts about his origins. If there is no problem, I don't mind taking him in."

After saying that, he patted his sleeves and said, "The decadent trend among men in Yan State is really ugly. I still like the appearance of men in Qi State. It's a pity that the relationship between the two countries is tense now, so I dare not believe it easily."

After the carriage had gone far away, Shen Fuqing said shyly, "Be careful of Prince Shun, don't get too close to him."

He didn't know whether Duan Wuming understood what Longyang's love was, and was thinking about how to explain to him the strangeness of Prince Shun's behavior.

"I am a commoner, how can I be close to the prince? You are worrying too much."

Shen Fuqing poked his chin with a fan and tried to organize his words, "There are also some relationships that don't value status..."

Duan Wu turned to look at him, smiling, "Oh? For example?"

"For example..." Shen Fuqing believed that he did not look down on the relationship between men. It was just a matter of love, so it was fine for men and women. But for some reason, it was quite difficult to explain this to the person in front of him.

"Men can also marry men with different surnames." After saying this in one breath, he felt a burning sensation on his back, as if he had teased an innocent little dog from the mountains.

Duan Wu rolled his eyes nonchalantly, "It's just a relationship, why make it so complicated?"

"You actually knew that!?"

"That's me!"

Shen Fuqing widened his eyes, unable to believe his ears. It turned out that he had become the villain.

Duan Wu smiled and looked at Shen Fuqing's most colorful expression in recent days. "Why, we come from the mountains and can't try some trendy activities?"

"That's not the case." Shen Fuqing explained bluntly, "It's just that Prince Shun doesn't just like men. He has at least eight men in his backyard, if not ten. You definitely can't get used to it."

Duan Wu snatched the fan and tapped the back of his hand. "What nonsense! I accepted Prince Shun's invitation to use him as bait. Do you think I want to go to the backyard of the palace and compete with those men for attention?"

Shen Fuqing ignored his bold behavior and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "...I thought you really wanted to rush to become the Princess of Shun."

"I don't want to be Princess Shun." Duan Wu supported himself and moved to his side. "I want to be Princess Shen."

"How can there be a King Shen in Yan State..."

Shen Fuqing suddenly realized that he was powerless to resist the words that seemed to reveal his true feelings. He quickly changed the subject and said, "You made up a king to kill all nine generations of your clan. Don't talk nonsense."

Duan Wu put his arm around his shoulders and said, "It's just you and me. I'm only talking to you."

Shen Fuqing's face was burning with anxiety. "You can't tell me either." He twisted his body. After knowing that Duan Wu liked men, he couldn't accept this kind of contact without any scruples.

He felt that he should speak more openly to avoid Duan Wu's misunderstanding. "I don't like men or women, and I have no other thoughts except entering the government..."

This was a clear rejection, and the person who rejected it was Shen Fuqing, but why did he feel some emotions instead?

Duan Wu heard this and swiftly took off the jade pendant from his waist and threw it into his hand, but his expression was a little lonely. "I thought you were so nice to me today, and you also had this intention. Well, I'll return the clothes to you."

"Can jade be given away randomly?" There was some complaint about Shen Fuqing's frivolous behavior in his words.

"Sorry, I...I didn't know you were..." Shen Fuqing clutched the jade pendant.

"There's nothing to be sorry about. I'll go back to Qingyun Village tomorrow."

The air was somewhat stagnant, Shen Fuqing said lightly, "You can stay in the capital if you want. It's easy for the Shen family to support one person."

Duan Wu shook his head and refused. He turned around, distanced himself from the young master, lifted the car window curtain, and looked outside, as if he was hiding his emotions and didn't want anyone to see them.

"Aren't you going to help me find the person who hurt me?" Shen Fuqing thought of a reason.

Duan Wu leaned on the window and said, "Then I'll leave once I find it."

Shen Fuqing felt that it would be deliberate to keep him any longer, so he stopped talking immediately. The two of them chatted happily all the way out, but suddenly he returned home without saying a word, leaving Taoyuan confused.

He picked up something at the door and followed him back to the courtyard, feeling a little smug: "Master, did you have a fight with Brother Duan?"

Shen Fuqing paused while holding the teacup and denied, "No, I'm just tired from playing."

On the second day, the invitation from Prince Shun's Mansion was delivered early in the morning. Shen Duo was somewhat surprised that the only prince in the court had any dealings with his Fuqing family.

Shen Fuye took the invitation. There were two names written on it, but his was not one.

Duan Wu was just a commoner, and it was probably just a coincidence, so the one he invited was his good brother.

A dark light flashed in his dark eyes, and Shen Fuye couldn't accept it.

Once Shen Fuqing passed the imperial examination and entered the officialdom, Shen Duo would certainly favor his eldest son in everything, and might even cut off his career as an official in order to keep the emperor’s heart.

Once you catch the eye of Prince Shun, you’re done.

He showed an envious look and said, "I also want to see the treasures of Prince Shun's Mansion."

Shen Duo shook his head. "You can enter Shunwang Mansion whenever you want. If your father's name is not on it, then we can't get in."

……

Duan Wu did not wear the clothes that Shen Fuqing bought yesterday. He chose something low-key and less noticeable. He was tall, and the brocade was quite eye-catching.

Shen Fuqing stood outside the guest house waiting for someone to come out. He felt relieved when he saw that Duan Wu had changed his clothes.

It seems that he really doesn't care about Prince Shun.

Shen Fuye came to ask again, and Shen Fuqing said with a smile, "It's ok for us to go together. If you can get in, then we can go together. If you can't get in, just treat it as going out for a walk."

Duan Yao also followed out. She was tired and sleepy yesterday. Today, she heard that Duan Wu went out to play with Master Shen for the entire afternoon and got a lot of things. She immediately regretted it.

The two of them watched the carriage heading to Prince Shun's Mansion go away, each more unwilling than the other.

Duan Yao was shy and timid. She looked up at Shen Fuye, whom she had admired for many years and who was regarded as the first of the three famous prime ministers by later generations. Just one glance and she was a little surprised.

Shen Fuye is not really handsome, he can only be said to have a delicate appearance, with eyebrows that are neither broad nor deep...an ordinary appearance.

How could this be?
