Quick Wear: Plan to Save the Unrequited Boss

Duan Songming was happy to see this. Shen Si was aloof by nature, but he didn't expect that for the sake of his cousin, he would show himself off like a peacock spreading its tail tail.

After the poetry party ended, Duan Songming left Wen Ling in the palace.

"What do you think of Shen Si, cousin?"

"With his noble character and immense talent, he will surely become my cousin's right-hand man."

When Duan Songming heard such high praise, he felt that there was hope.

"How about I arrange a marriage between you and Shen Si, cousin?"

"No!"

Wen Ling almost couldn't help rolling her eyes. This must be how much she likes Ye Xuhe.

"Why? Doesn't my cousin admire Shen Si?"

"Appreciation and liking are different. My cousin clearly knows that I prefer Ye Xuhe."

Wen Ling didn't say this either. She has learned to give up.

Duan Songming sighed, feeling that the day's work was in vain.

At this moment, not only Duan Songming was in a depressed mood, but Wen Ling was not in a good mood either. When would he wake up from this damn dream?

"Wenwen, since this is just a dream, don't resist. Dreams are beyond human control."

Wen Ling raised an eyebrow, "I've called you so many times, and now you show up."

Xiao Qi coughed and said, "I still can't stay here for too long. I just came to remind Wen Wen that resistance is useless and will eventually lead to a predetermined ending."

After hearing what Xiao Qi said, Wen Ling gave up completely. After all, this was just a dream, and Shen Si here was not her target in reality.

So what else is she busy with?

But after all, Wen Ling didn't like the situation where her body was out of control and she hardly left the Princess's Mansion for two consecutive months.

After observing Ye Xuhe for two months, the eldest princess finally approved of the person chosen by Wen Ling.

The imperial decree granting the marriage was issued, and Wen Ling, holding the decree in his hand, turned around and threw it aside without paying any attention.

After being cooped up for two months, I didn’t want the first acquaintance I met when I went out to meet would be Shen Si.

Shen Si has now been assigned an official position. According to past practice, the top scorer in the imperial examination would be assigned to the Hanlin Academy, but Duan Songming directly assigned him to the Dali Temple. After working as the Dali Temple Secretary for a month, he is now the Dali Temple Shaoqing.

This kind of honor and favor has never been seen before, which shows Duan Songming's appreciation for Shen Si.

Now, no one who has been assigned an official position does not envy Shen Si. It is a good job for them to stay in the capital and hold a sinecure. In just two months, Shen Si became the second-in-command of the Dali Temple and holds real power.

The future is truly immeasurable. Of course, another person they envy is Ye Xuhe. Everyone knows that the princess is the most beloved cousin of His Majesty, and there will be many ways to help him in the future.

Today is a day off, and Shen Si is wearing a white jade robe embroidered with intricate silver patterns. It is more luxurious and noble than the one he wore at the Qionglin Banquet.

Wen Ling could vaguely sense that he seemed a little anxious.

He took two steps forward and spoke first, "Master Shen, do you have something to say to me?"

"Have."

The two straightforward words were completely different from his attitude that day when he didn't want to have too much involvement with her.

"The princess is interested in Ye Xuhe?"

Wen Ling was stunned at first, then she heard herself reply "yes" uncontrollably.

Shen Si seemed to be even more anxious.

"Why? I..."

Shen Si didn't like to get close to others, but he was definitely not a shy person. After a pause, he still asked what was really in his mind.

"Why Ye Xuhe? How am I inferior to him?"

Wen Ling was stunned. So what she initially believed and later overturned was actually not wrong.

My mind was working rapidly, and it seemed that I could understand the dream that Xiaoqi had mentioned.

This so-called dream is the crux of the mission.

Not getting a response, Shen Si took two steps forward, but then realized something was wrong and retreated again.

"You are no worse than him."

Wen Ling replied, but she couldn't say a word.

After hearing this, Shen Si became even more anxious. "So why did you choose him and not me? The princess thinks I'm no worse than him, so why did you choose him?"

Shen Si felt that he had never lost his composure like today, but the girl in front of him was the one he had been thinking about all the time, and he would fight for her no matter what until the last moment.

"I like him."

His body was out of control again. When these words came out of his mouth, Shen Si's eyelashes trembled violently and his eyelids turned red. The jade-like exiled immortal looked a little embarrassed, with a kind of broken beauty.

Wen Ling felt as if her heart was stabbed, a momentary pain.

Shen Si's lips trembled, as if he was suppressing his emotions and this time he spoke, his voice was restrained and low.

"The princess likes him, which means I am still inferior to him in some aspects."

The voice paused for a moment, afraid that she would be upset, as if to explain or to pave the way for the next words.

"I don't want to harass the princess, I just want to lose clearly."

Shen Si tried his best to suppress his emotions. He raised his arms that were originally hanging on both sides, bent his waist like a green bamboo, and bowed.

"Please tell me why I am inferior to Ye Xuhe and why I cannot be favored by you."

This made her answer like this. With his current status, he didn't need to be so humble in front of her.

This made Wen Ling feel a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't say that she didn't like Ye Xuhe's words.

I opened my mouth but didn't know how to answer his question.

Shen Si's attitude was very clear. He would not pester her and just wanted to lose clearly.

But this answer does not exist, and the answer she can give can only be vague.

"Shen Si, you are no worse than Ye Xuhe in any way."

Shen Si's eyelashes trembled, but he remained in a polite posture and did not stand up, desperately wanting to get an answer from Wen Ling.

"But, liking someone is unreasonable."

And I don’t like Ye Xuhe either.

I could only tell him the latter sentence in my heart.

Wen Ling walked away and when she looked back after walking a few steps, he was still bowing, as if he couldn't understand what she was saying.

Only when she had long disappeared did Shen Si stand up straight. The servant who had been standing far away because of the conversation between the two masters came forward.

Shen Si's eyes were silent. "I've been reading books of sages since I was little, and experiencing the normal state of the world. I always feel that everything in the world has a cause and effect, and can be explained by a reason."

After a moment's silence, Shen Si laughed at himself, "That's right, liking someone is unreasonable. It's me who is embarrassing you today."

I asked a question that had no answer at all.

After turning a corner, Wen Ling felt calmer, but her mood was still not high.

"The county lord."

Wen Ling looked up and saw the same smile she saw on the day of the top scholar's parade. She could feel that her mood was gradually getting better because of seeing Ye Xuhe.

But that wasn't her mood either.

She really wanted to respond rudely, "Why are you here?"

The words changed their tone when they came to his lips, "Why is Lord Ye here?"

The smile on Ye Xuhe's face gradually became a little shy. "Because I was so happy to receive the imperial edict today, I couldn't help but want to see the princess."

Completely different from Shen Si's polite and reserved style, Ye Xuhe likes to play it straight.

My heart beats faster and I feel overwhelmed with joy.

This is the reaction of this body at this moment.

Wen Ling wanted to say, "I've seen it, you can go now."

But only shyness was left.

This made her angry, but this anger also diluted the boredom brought by the conversation with Shen Si just now.

Wen Ling didn't think Ye Xuhe was as straightforward and enthusiastic as he appeared.

From the scheming at the Qionglin Banquet, it was clear that he was here to see her? Did he hear that Shen Si would come to see her today, and was afraid that she would be persuaded by Shen Si to break off the engagement with him?

Is it really such a coincidence that I just met Shen Si and then turned around to see Ye Xuhe?
