The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

The youthful vigor that was unique to the young man broke the dull atmosphere of the pavilion, and the three people's eyes all fell on Shen Yi who had appeared not far away at some point.

Shen Yi entered the pavilion and found that the person with his back to him was Xie Nanyuan. His eyes lit up and he quickly walked to Xie Nanyuan, "Hero..."

"Ayi, there must be rules." Shen Qionghua called out anxiously.

Prince Rui behaved strangely today and was in a bad mood. Shen Qionghua was afraid that Shen Yi would offend Prince Rui.

"Oh..." Shen Yi pouted and responded obediently. He walked reluctantly to the servant Afu, took the big characters he had just written, and handed them to Huo Jing.

"Mr. Huo, these are twenty large characters. Please take a look."

Huo Jing took it, looked at it one by one, nodded, and said, "Not bad. You can preview the rest of the article tonight, and I will explain it to you tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi's chubby face twisted up, and he said in a muffled voice, "Yes, sir."

"You should go back to the study first. My sister and Mr. Huo have something to say." Shen Qionghua said.

Shen Yi hesitated to speak, and finally nodded in agreement. He looked at Xie Nanyuan reluctantly, and then took Ah Fu back to his room, looking back every few steps.

It wasn't until Shen Yi disappeared from his sight that Huo Jing said to Shen Qionghua, "Ayi is intelligent, but his mind isn't on studying. If you ask him to do something he doesn't like, it's bound to be counterproductive."

Shen Qionghua also knew this, but her mother refused to give in on this point no matter what. The Shen family only had this one male, and even if he didn't become a talented person in the end, she hoped that his life would be safe in the future.

She was about to speak when a deep voice spoke before her: "Are you here at the Shen residence to teach Shen Yi?"

Xie Nanyuan looked at Huo Jing with deep eyes.

"Of course, otherwise why do you think I invited Mr. Huo to the Shen Mansion?"

"Ayi is in need of a good mentor. Since Master Huo is the third place in the imperial examination, his talent and learning are beyond doubt. That's why I thought of asking him to guide Ayi before he is appointed as an official."

"Who would have thought that the prince would be so elegant that he would actually come to the Shen Mansion to help Mr. Huo become a matchmaker."

Huo Jing was specially invited by Shen Qionghua, but Xie Nanyuan came uninvited and acted aggressively towards Huo Jing. Shen Qionghua was naturally unhappy and felt very apologetic towards Huo Jing.

Xie Nanyuan choked. He felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of what Pingning said and the letter in his arms which was particularly hot at the moment.

Why does he think Huo Jing is in the Shen Mansion?

Ping Ning said Huo Jing asked to marry Shen Qionghua. The letter said Huo Jing stayed at the Shen residence for at least two hours every day. He naturally thought that the two were discussing marriage, which made him anxious. However, he did not expect...

But soon, Xie Nanyuan reacted.

Even though the two did not discuss marriage, Huo Jing did express his last wish to marry Shen Qionghua.

How can this be!

How dare he ask Shen Qionghua to marry him!

Xie Nanyuan's expression of discomfort only lasted for a moment before his gloomy expression returned. He snorted coldly and said matter-of-factly, "So what? The Dali Temple Minister is an upright official. Now that his legitimate son has passed the imperial examination, it's only natural for me to show some concern."

"Mr. Huo, you are not young anymore, it's time for you to get married. If you don't have a woman you like, I can help you..."

"Your Highness!" Huo Jing interrupted Xie Nanyuan in time.

If he doesn't speak up, he will probably be forced by King Rui to worship heaven and earth tomorrow.

As a man, he easily saw through King Rui's thoughts based on his actions just now.

He was in love with Princess Jialin, and so was Prince Rui, so they couldn't wait to force a woman on him so that he could get married quickly.

But...what about Prince Rui?

Even if Lady Jialin rejected his proposal now, the fact that they were just friends did not mean that he had to withdraw.

Faith will move mountains to open.

As long as he persists, one day Princess Jialin will be able to see his feelings.

What's more, after the two of them talked things out, he became more frank. Moreover, he came to the Shen Mansion every day to guide Ayi, so he had more opportunities to meet him than before.

On the contrary, it was Prince Rui. Judging from the confused look on the county lord's face, she probably didn't know what Prince Rui was thinking. In this respect, she was the latecomer who had the upper hand.

Huo Jing calmed himself down, cupped his hands, and said, "I do have a woman I like, but she hasn't agreed to marry me yet."

"Besides, Your Highness and I are of the same age, and Your Highness has not yet married. So Your Highness does not need to worry about my marriage."

It turns out Shen Qionghua didn't agree...

Xie Nanyuan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, his sharp eyes softened a little, and his tight thin lips curled up slightly, revealing a bit of joy.

He pretended to be concerned and asked, "Is it Huo Tanhua's unrequited love? Huo Tanhua, there's no need to worry about it."

"There are so many women in this world, why focus on one? Since the woman is unwilling, Huo Tanhua should not be too persistent, lest Ping Fan become annoying."

"How about I introduce a few acquaintances to Mr. Huo. They all come from good families and have legitimate daughters. Mr. Huo can see if there is anyone he likes. I can..."

"Your Highness!" Huo Jing interrupted Xie Nanyuan again, "Your Highness, since I love that woman, I will obey her wishes."

"Since she doesn't like me now, I can't force her to do anything. But I won't give up easily either, unless one day she finds a man she likes, and that man is not me. Only then will I truly let go and bless them."

As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Qionghua, who also looked at him, with a mixture of emotion and shame, but also open and frank.

In Xie Nanyuan's eyes, this scene was evidence of their affectionate relationship.

The corners of his mouth that had just been raised drooped in an instant, and a nameless anger filled his heart, almost burning his sanity out.

One follows his own will, and the other doesn't give up easily. These two people... are really great.

Xie Nanyuan sneered in his heart, but said sarcastically, "I didn't know Huo Tanhua was such a persistent person. I'm really impressed by him."

Huo Jing said respectfully, "Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment."

The two looked at each other and sparks flew.

Suddenly, Xie Nanyuan spoke first, "It's getting late now. Isn't it time for Huo Tanhua to go back?"

As he said this, he stood up first.

Huo Jing paused, glanced at the sky, and said to Shen Qionghua, "County Lady, Huo Jing will come again tomorrow to give Ayi a lecture."

Shen Qionghua nodded and said, "Mr. Huo, take care."

Huo Jing smiled slightly and walked out of the pavilion.

Lin Ze had excellent hearing, so he naturally heard what his prince said. He took a few steps forward to welcome the prince back to the palace.

Huo Jing had just taken a few steps when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and found that Prince Rui was still standing there. He couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, aren't you going back?"

Xie Nanyuan tilted his head, sneered, and said, "When did I ever say I was going back home?"

He sat down again and said, "Huo Tanhua, please leave quickly. I still have something to say to Jialin County Master."

Huo Jing: “…”

Shen Qionghua: “…”

Linze: "..." The corner of his mouth twitched and he retreated to his original position.
