Full level Black Heart Lotus, reborn to bully scumbags every day!

"Princess, please respect yourself." A cold and indifferent voice sounded, and every word was filled with indifference.

The woman seemed to be very angry, her face flushed: "I invited you to go boating last time, why did you refuse?"

The man had a cold expression and sneered, "I am an official appointed by the court, not a prostitute in a brothel. The princess has found the wrong person."

Seeing this scene, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but frown.

There are too many princes and nobles in the capital, which is a problem. Just walking around, you can run into a princess expressing her love.

Regardless, it's always awkward to be caught doing this.

Shen Shuyi pulled Yao Huiyan and quietly hid behind a rockery nearby. Fortunately, the maids were far away and after receiving Shen Shuyi's signal, they did not come closer.

Shen Shuyi had no intention of peeping, but the two of them were in a slightly higher position, so he could see clearly if he raised his eyes slightly.

The woman has a graceful figure and is dressed in a bright red dress with a phoenix pattern embroidered with golden silk thread. She also wears a golden phoenix and red jewel hairpin on her head, and several eight-treasure gold hairpins.

Although her facial features are not extremely outstanding, when put together, they give her a bright and lively feeling. Coupled with the confidence brought by her status, she can be said to be radiant, charming and coquettish.

Shen Shuyi quickly recognized the person in front of him—Princess Hanyang, the beloved daughter of Prince Duan!

The previous emperor had many brothers and many descendants, so when Emperor Qianwu ascended the throne, there were also many royal relatives.

Emperor Qianwu also inherited his father's ability to have children and had many sons.

As a result, it can be said that the capital city is full of royal relatives.

But even so, there are differences in distance, status and relationship among clan members.

Previously, Princess Anle, whom Chai Bin wanted to marry, was not of royal blood in the strict sense. It was just that the third prince's mother, Concubine Rou, was quite favored by the emperor, and Concubine Rou wanted to promote her natal family, so she found an opportunity to ask for the title of princess for her brother's daughter.

But Prince Duan's daughter is a real princess. Moreover, because Prince Duan had made great contributions in supporting Emperor Qianwu, Prince Duan's daughter is also highly favored. It can be said that she is no less favored than the princess of the current dynasty.

Shen Shuyi looked at the man opposite her again and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

He is truly a handsome man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes!

The man was very tall, with broad shoulders, a thin waist, and narrow hips. He was dressed in a dark blue pine and crane brocade robe, which only made his face look as handsome as a jade crown and extremely handsome.

His face was cold and angular, with sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples and a straight and three-dimensional nose. This handsome face was embedded with a pair of sharp phoenix eyes, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, which added a bit of debauchery.

Perhaps he had noticed something, and his gaze turned towards Shen Shuyi with a sharp and intimidating look.

Shen Shuyi's heart tightened. Although there were trees blocking the view, he could still feel the strong sense of oppression.

She held her breath and did not move. Yao Huiyan, who was holding her arm, subconsciously tightened her hand a little, obviously also shocked by the man's momentum.

After a moment, the man withdrew his gaze, and Shen Shuyi unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

What a sharp and deep pair of eyes, with black pupils and dim eyes, like a deep sea containing endless chill, or like a cold sword glowing with cold light, sharp and gloomy, which actually pushed back a bit the elegance brought by the tail of the eyes, making them more unfathomable.

Princess Hanyang was very angry, and her beautiful face showed some annoyance: "Xie Jingchi, you are really ungrateful!"

The man pursed his thin lips and said sarcastically, "Knowing this, why did the princess ask for trouble?"

Hearing this, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

What an arrogant and impolite response!

Who is this person?

Xie Jingchi?

Shen Shuyi thought carefully for a moment and remembered the man.

Xie Jingchi won the top three places in the imperial examinations two years ago. At the age of sixteen, he became the youngest number one scholar in Daqian!

Because of his handsome appearance, Emperor Qianwu wanted to give him the title of Tanhualang.

However, the young man had solid knowledge and great talent, even Emperor Qianwu praised him highly, and immediately appointed him as the top scholar of the dynasty with his imperial pen!

Shen Shuyi carefully recalled Xie Jingchi's deeds in his previous life.

She entered the court a little late, only catching up with the last two years of Xie Jingchi's time in the court.

During those two years, she had urged Xiao Tingshan to recruit Xie Jingchi into his team.

It's a pity that the young man's talent is so extraordinary that it seems like someone like Xiao Tingshan cannot handle him.

Later, Shen Shuyi observed that his actions were all beneficial to the country and the people, so he gave up the idea of ​​dragging him into the fight for the throne. He just wanted him to do more practical things for the people.

The Emperor Qianwu valued him more than anyone could imagine, and it was no exaggeration to call him his trusted confidant. In the later period, he was responsible for handling major cases such as the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, witchcraft in foreign lands, and engraving on official silver.

Therefore, although there were many reports about his movements in the court, his whereabouts were rarely seen.

While Shen Shu was thinking, Princess Hanyang's brows had already turned cold: "Xie Jingchi, you really don't know how to appreciate me! Do you think you will have a good life in the court if you offend me?"

Xie Jingchi pursed his thin lips and said sarcastically, "I would like to ask the princess for advice."

Shen Shuyi couldn't help but curl his lips. Tsk, this top scholar is really good at adding fuel to the fire.

Unfortunately, although this man is young, he is cunning and ruthless, and even Princess Hanyang cannot do anything to him.

However, Shen Shuyi recalled carefully that Xie Jingchi had many admirers in his previous life, but she seemed to have never heard of the news that he got married. She also didn't know which lady would end up marrying such a man.

"Okay, just wait for me!" Princess Hanyang stomped her feet and left angrily.

Xie Jingchi's expression remained unchanged, his eyes were clear, and he said in a cold voice: "Yunxiao, clear out the rats over there on the rockery, so as not to disturb the prince's interest."

Shen Shuyi: "..."

After saying that, Xie Jingchi turned and left without even glancing in their direction. However, the guard named Yunxiao was already walking towards them.

Shen Shuyi took Yao Huiyan away quietly and returned to the center of the banquet.

At this moment, Prince Duan has appeared with his wife, his son, his wife, and his grandson.

Prince Duan is much older than Emperor Qianwu. Emperor Qianwu is now in his prime, and Prince Duan has been well maintained due to the good life.

Shen Shuyi looked around calmly. Many princes and nobles came to the chrysanthemum-viewing banquet hosted by Prince Duan, but unfortunately there was no sign of the Third Prince.

Of course, what surprised her was that Xiao Tingshan didn't come either.

"Today is a warm and sunny day, and the autumn chrysanthemums are in full bloom. I am fortunate to have all my colleagues come to my Prince Duan's mansion for a gathering. The princess and I have prepared some wine, and I hope that all of you will have a great time..."

Prince Duan had an elegant demeanor. He spoke with a smile and took his relatives to sit down first.

Seeing this, the group responded with a smile and sat down behind the long table. Chai Zhi was the first to say, "It is because of the prince's invitation that we have the opportunity to take a break from our busy schedule. We are grateful enough!"

Another person responded, "Everyone knows that the chrysanthemums in Prince Duan's Mansion are truly unique. It is a great blessing in life to be able to enjoy this beautiful scenery today!"

For a time, everyone agreed.

Most of the guests who spoke were male, while the female guests were presided over by Princess Duan, who was much more casual.

Coincidentally, Wang Taifu's family was sitting next to the Shen family. Madam Wang smiled and said to Qin Xuerong, "Why didn't you see Sister Yu come with you?"
