"My lord, you are back!"
Outside Prince Rong's residence.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Xiao Lingzi gathered around him respectfully.
"Your Highness, you are back."
"This is a secret letter sent by someone in the palace, saying that it must be delivered to you personally."
With that said, Xiao Lingzi presented a secret letter with both hands.
Song Huan knew that this must be a letter sent by Xue Hai.
After opening the letter and reading it, Song Huan couldn't help but laugh softly at the contents in his heart.
"No wonder Emperor Liang placed so much emphasis on Xue Hai. This man's ability to do things is really impressive."
"I just gave a few hints to ask him to pay more attention to Lin Zhihuan's movements."
"Unexpectedly, he is really a man of action!"
"If he hadn't appeared in time, Lin Zhihuan's exam today might not have been able to proceed normally."
"It's just that I didn't expect..."
Unexpectedly, Wang Shilu was so arrogant that he dared to modify the exam content without reporting it to Emperor Liang!
Although as the head of Wenyuan Pavilion, Wang Shilu did have the right to propose questions.
But he did not explain the situation to the candidates in advance, which in itself was an abuse of power!
In order to give some people the green light, this Wang Shilu is really bold!
Of course, there was another thing that Song Huan didn't expect.
Yesterday I met with Emperor Liang and after a conversation, I thought he would not take today's preliminary examination of Wenyuan Pavilion seriously.
However, what Song Huan didn't expect was that Emperor Liang seemed calm and strategizing, but he turned around and specially arranged for Xue Hai to invigilate the exam for him.
This old man is also very straightforward!
"Your Highness, Miss Shen is outside asking for a meeting!"
Song Huan's eyes lit up when he heard Shen Mei coming.
"Please come in quickly!"
"No, I will personally welcome Miss Shen when she comes in!"
Song Huan took three steps at a time and came to the gate of the palace to greet him in person.
"Miss Shen, you're here!"
"Please come in quickly!"
Seeing that Prince Tangtang Rong went out to greet him in person, Shen Mei was flattered for a moment.
"Your Highness, why did you come out to greet me in person?"
"It's really a shame for a common girl!"
Song Huan waved his hand: "Miss Shen has done me such a great favor, so it is only natural that I go out to greet her in person!"
Seeing that Song Huan valued him so much, the smile on the corners of his deep brows could not be suppressed.
She pointed at the carriage parked behind her.
"Your Highness, all five hundred poetry collections are here."
"Please send someone to take stock quickly!"
Song Huan shook his head: "You are doing things, why do I need to send people to check and verify?"
"Now there are only three people working in the entire Daliang, which is the most reassuring to me."
"The first is Liu Qing, and the second is you."
"The third thing is..."
Thinking of Huo Qi's special status, Song Huan didn't say anything more, just smiled and shook his head.
"In short, the construction period of these five hundred poetry collections is so short. If you hadn't found someone to copy them day and night, it would have been impossible to complete them as scheduled."
"To express my gratitude, I will treat you to dinner at noon today!"
Hearing that Song Huan wanted to stay at his house for dinner, Shen Mei's eyes widened and she felt a little excited.
Although he had dined with Song Huan before, he still felt a little different since he didn't stay in the palace after all.
Today, the prince took the initiative to stay at his house for meals. It was obvious that he really regarded himself as one of his own.
Thinking of this, Shen Mei couldn't help but quietly raised her head and secretly looked at the man in front of her who had been attracted to her for a long time.
I wonder when the prince will know about all my painstaking efforts?
Song Huan gave the order, and soon, a table of exquisite family banquets was prepared.
He was in a good mood today, and Song Huan specially asked Xiao Lingzi to bring the fine wine he had collected and entertained Shen Mei warmly.
As they exchanged glasses of wine, the two of them exchanged glasses, both feeling a little tipsy.
Song Huan raised his wine glass to Shen Mei and said sincerely: "Miss Shen, looking at the entire Daliang, I have never said the word 'admiration' to anyone."
"But for you, I admire you from the bottom of my heart!"
"You, a female prodigy, have made a mark in this era that belongs to men."
"Not only have you saved your father's family business, but you have also made the Shen family bigger and stronger from now on!"
"No matter how difficult the tasks I have given you several times, you can always complete them."
"This glass of wine, I dedicate to you!"
Shen Mei was flattered and quickly raised the glass with both hands, touching Song Huan lightly.
"His Highness said this, which really makes him frown."
"I just feel that if ordinary men can do things, why can't I do it?"
"My father has worked hard all his life, and the foundation he created is the most precious wealth for the descendants of my Shen family."
"These are things that I will try my best to keep."
"As for what you ordered, His Highness..."
Speaking of this, Shen Mei raised her hazy drunken eyes, which seemed to have endless tenderness and tiredness.
"Some things, whether Shen Mei does or not, all depends on who the other person is."
"If someone has a frown and doesn't care, no matter how powerful he is, I won't care."
"But if it's someone Shen Mei cares about, even if it's an ordinary civilian, I will definitely do my best!"
Looking at Shen Mei's extremely hot and intense gaze, Song Huan's heart skipped two beats!
etc……
Wait a moment!
Could this girl be confessing to herself while she was drunk?
To be fair, with excellent eyebrows and beautiful appearance, they are the most desirable object in the minds of many men.
Song Huan has always respected such independent women and has never had any inappropriate thoughts about her.
But this monologue that Shen Mei just gave made Song Huan confused for a moment!
After all, since we were young, we haven’t had many experiences of being chased by girls!
Just as Song Huan stared at Shen Mei in trance, thinking about how to respond to the other party's confession.
Suddenly, Xiao Lingzi panicked and trotted over.
"Your Highness!"
"Father Yueling and a group of farmers were mourning outside the palace and refused to leave!"
"They are too smart to go to the palace to cause trouble."
"It's just that under the crooked-neck tree where Yueling hanged herself, she was rolling around and burning paper money and paper clothes."
"In short, just keep shouting injustice!"
The appearance of Xiao Lingzi broke the ambiguous tranquility between the two.
Song Huan frowned slightly: "It's lunch time, and the streets are very busy with people coming and going."
"This group of people showed up on time just to let more people know about this and completely make the matter bigger!"
Seeing Song Huan's serious expression, Shen Mei understood that he must have encountered some difficult problem.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
With Song Huan's acquiescence, Xiao Lingzi described the whole story to Shen Mei vividly.
After hearing this, Shen Mei also frowned.
"The other party obviously came prepared. Even though they made quite a fuss, they were just crying on the sidelines."
"If you, my lord, send people to suppress it, you will be guilty of committing a crime and try to cover it up!"
