Quick Wear: Give the Resentful Man a Home

Duan Yao was surprised. Shen Xiang was a famously handsome man, but there was no portrait of him left in history. One could only rely on a few words recorded by others to get a glimpse of his charm.

Among them, the most widely circulated is the line from the lyrics of Jiangnan Leji: "As if I were a banished immortal from this world, unattainable, indescribable..."

But the Shen Fuye in front of him was not at all a godly person!

Duan Yao had seen countless fan art created by his wives based on their imaginations, and the Shen Fuye in his mind should be like that.

For a moment, a huge gap in my heart appeared on my face.

Then he despised himself for judging people by their appearance. This was the most important contributor who helped Dayan pacify the north. His reforms and methods were still a model for many later countries a thousand years later.

Thinking of this, Duan Yao bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Shen, I am Duan Yao."

Shen Fuye knew that it was the girl in front of him who saved Shen Fuqing. He felt annoyed when he saw her. He shook his sleeves and ignored her and went back to the yard.

Duan Yao felt sad, but she also knew that this was Prime Minister Shen, who had only loved that one person all his life. Even after his first wife left him, he still did not remarry for twenty years. He died without a wife or children.

When she first saw this, she was amazed, my God, there are such men in the world.

Looking at Shen Fuye's fiery back, I wondered how to make him fall in love with me.

She knew about Shen Fuye's reforms and ideas, and thought that talking about these things would bring them closer. Duan Yao thought about it carefully, and it seemed that she only knew a little bit, and could not say much.

Endlessly worried.

The area of ​​Yanhuang City is very large, and the Shun Palace is not too close to the city. Shan Changyang was granted the grace to not have to go to court every day, so he simply enclosed the Xinglin that was originally on the edge of the city into the palace and located it on the edge of the city.

The location looks ordinary, but the scenery is extraordinary.

The carriage couldn't run in the imperial city, and it took nearly half an hour to reach Prince Shun's palace.

The emperor's most valued younger brother lived in a very luxurious residence. Someone was already waiting at the door. When he saw the carriage coming up from the Shen Mansion,

Shen Fuqing handed over the visiting card, and the housekeeper smiled when he saw it. "So you are the eldest son of the Shen family. The prince is hosting a banquet today and specifically mentioned that you are a distinguished guest. Please follow me."

The Shunwang Mansion has seven main halls and five main gates. This is the highest standard for a prince's mansion. The next highest standard is the Nine-Five Layout, which only the emperor can use.

Duan Wu looked around and it seemed that the Emperor Yan's favor towards his younger brother was not groundless. This Prince Shun's Mansion alone was more luxurious than the imperial palace.

There were already two figures sitting in the courtyard, pouring tea for each other. The housekeeper led them into the yard.

Shen Fuqing didn't recognize the two men and bowed. One of them was the man who accompanied Shan Changyang yesterday. This man was silent and taciturn, but he did not seem to be a kind person.

"Mr. Shen, I have long heard of your great name. I have long heard that the grandson of the late Grand Tutor of the capital will soon become a top three scholar in the imperial examination. This spring's imperial examination is really exciting."

The other person seemed to be quite familiar with the place, so the butler quickly introduced him, "This is the son of the Marquis of Xin'an, who has just arrived in Beijing."

"Mr. Tong, you are too kind. There is no certainty in the exam. Every year there are dark horses. Fuqing dare not be arrogant." Shen Fuqing was most afraid of others mentioning his success in the imperial examination.

Since the Chinese New Year, I seldom go out, and when I go, I go to places where I don’t know anyone.

Tong Ning's eyes fell on Duan Wu, and he looked him up and down. He didn't know him, and he didn't know his name. He looked at the people around him with a teasing look, and asked, "Brother Ji, who is this?"

"The prince's guest." Ji Chen said lightly. The results of yesterday's investigation made him lose interest in this man who looked extraordinary and heroic.

I thought he was some kind of nobody, but it turns out he was just digging for food in the fields.

Ji Chen's look of disdain was evident in his words, and he even looked down on Shen Fuqing, which made him feel worse as he grew older.

However, when Shan Changyang heard that Duan Wu was just a farmer's son, he felt it was more convenient. If he was really a prominent figure, he would be afraid of offending him.

"If you want to go around, there are maids to lead the way. The prince was suddenly summoned to the court this morning and will be back soon. Please rest for a while."

There was a dazzling array of wine, pastries and snacks in the courtyard. Duan Wu had just picked up the teacup when he heard a sneer in his ear.

"This tea is very strong. I'm afraid Mr. Duan can't drink it." Ji Chen felt uncomfortable when he thought of Shan Changyang's high praise for Duan Wu.

Duan Wu glanced at him, drank a glass, and refilled his own. "What should I drink?"

Ji Chen smiled and said, "I see that the men at the dock usually drink water directly from the well when they are tired from working. It may not be elegant, but it quenches thirst."

Duan Wu nodded, "Then ask the housekeeper to fetch some well water for us to drink."

Ji Chen kicked the cotton inexplicably, and felt even more contempt in his heart. If he hadn't been handsome, he would never have been able to enter Prince Shun's mansion in this life.

Shen Fuqing saw Ji Chen openly humiliating someone, but he knew that this person was a retainer of Prince Shun, and he felt annoyed.

Duan Wu poured him some tea and said, "I want to see the garden of the palace."

Shen Fuqing agreed after thinking about it. It was better than being humiliated here. He stood up and the two of them left the courtyard side by side.

Seeing them walk away, Tong Ning spoke calmly, "Didn't I remind you that now that His Majesty is suspicious of the prince, no new people can be allowed into the palace to avoid being planted with spies."

Ji Chen pounded the ground, his face grim. "How can I control the prince? He is just a peasant, but the prince likes him. Yesterday, he even asked the butler to vacate the side room in the main courtyard."

Tong Ning shook his head in disagreement. "Shen Fuqing is the grandson of Shen Huaiyuan. Shen Huaiyuan has received a lot of favors from Your Majesty. Your Majesty did not handle the matter properly this time."

"I will comfort the prince. I always feel that this man does not look like someone who works in the fields. He is a little too extraordinary."

Ji Chen nodded and looked towards the direction of the garden with a gloomy expression.

It was not yet spring, and the scenery in the garden was average. Duan Wu threw a small stone into the lake, and the sound of water startled some unusual movements around him. He knew that there were spies everywhere in the palace, but he did not expect so many.

When he was a little further away from the maid, he whispered, "Something is wrong with Prince Shun's mansion."

Shen Fuqing didn't expect him to be so bold as to spy on Prince Shun's mansion.

"The layout of this house is wrong. The side rooms are all a lot higher. Who would build a house like this?" Duan Wu said this, and Shen Fuqing realized that there was indeed something wrong with the orientation of Prince Shun's Mansion.

He narrowed his eyes, pondering the meaning of this, "Maybe it's Prince Shun's personal preference?"

Duan Wu shook his head. "The entire foundation of the Shun Palace is much higher than the other buildings. I think it's not just a preference. Anyway, you have to take this matter to heart."

Shen Fuqing's heart stagnated. "Let's not talk about it. I always feel that we have peeped into something that we shouldn't know."

Duan Wu saw how nervous he was and chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm here in the palace so your injury won't delay you."

This man is so bold that Shen Fuqing's palms are sweating. At the same time, he is also a little curious. Duan Wu also knows architecture?

Feeling Shen Fuqing's scrutiny, Duan Wu gave him a smug look, but then he heard Shen Fuqing teasing, "The palace doesn't seem to want to hurt me, but you, judging from the look in Prince Shun's eyes, you've walked into a trap today."

"If Prince Shun thinks highly of me, I will be able to ascend to heaven in one step."

He deliberately said this loudly, and it quickly reached Ji Chen's ears.
