The weather has been too hot these days. Ever since May learned the secret between the two, he has become a mysterious person traveling between Jin Prince's Mansion and Zhang Mansion. However, due to the identity of the eldest lady, it is not convenient. Every time he Everyone should be a gentleman on the beam, sneaking in and leaving secretly.
This is nothing more than a great shame for a general who leads troops to fight, but Wu Wu dare not resist.
A man can bend and stretch. Look at our Highness, isn't he? He's more humiliated than me. It's already like that. Thinking of Li Luansong's current delicate appearance and proud figure in May, he couldn't help but shudder. Such a comparison made his heart tremble. It feels comfortable.
But even though it was more convenient to send messages in May than to the princess, there were some things Li Luansong still wanted to talk to Shen Que in person.
Yes, he wanted to see her again.
At Youshi, the two of them were sitting in the elegant room of Zuixian Tower again.
There was a secretive look in the shopkeeper's eyes, which quickly disappeared after the food was served.
"I brought you this."
Shen Que opened the food box he brought first, which made Li Luansong's eyes light up.
"Sushan." She understood him so well.
Sushan, also called "Sushan", is made by milking cows, horses, and sheep to make cheese and cakes, in which sweeteners such as honey or sugar are also added. First, mix the cake with ice until soft, almost melting, and then pour it onto the plate, making various shapes while pouring it. Soufflé is originally snow-white, and the shape of the mountain looks like a snow mountain. This snow mountain exudes a crystal luster under the light, which is of great ornamental value. Its taste is also soft, cold, melts in the mouth, and is sweet, which is summer. Excellent for relieving summer heat.
Li Luansong was born in the royal family, and every year the palace would make this food for the concubines, princes, and princesses to relieve the heat. Because it required ice, few ordinary people could afford it, so this year, Li Luansong was the first to eat it. To Sushan.
"I didn't expect you would do this, Madam." Li Luansong was pleasantly surprised.
"When I was a kid, I followed my dad around a lot. I saw a lot and ate a lot. Later I learned to make my own food."
Gee, this rich family is different.
Seeing that he was eating happily, Shen Que pinched his fingers shyly, "If you like it, I often make it and ask May to send it to you. The princess also has some."
She was really gentle, considerate and considerate. Li Luansong nodded happily: "Thank you very much, madam."
"Your Highness, you don't have to call me eldest lady every time. I have a small word, Yuu Yuan." Her face was as red as an apple.
Li Luansong glanced at her, quickly put away his eyes and said: "Okay, Yuanyuan, it means gentleness, beauty, and it suits you."
Then he added: "Actually, your name, Shen Que, is also very good. It is taken from 'I always study the past but not the present, and I uphold the truth and uprightness.' But this one?"
Shen Que nodded.
"You, as your name suggests, you are knowledgeable, talented, gentle and beautiful." Li Luansong ate so deliciously that his whole body felt so comfortable that he naturally vomited lotus flowers.
Shen Que tilted his head and smiled: "Your Highness, why do you always say that you are not good at writing? Isn't that quite understandable?"
Li Luansong said, "I checked it because of your name..."
As the saying goes, if you talk too much, you will make mistakes. Look, if you talk too much, you even look up people's names. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, what do you want to do?
Li Luansong hurriedly filled his mouth with a big mouthful of Sushan and blocked his mouth.
Shen Que looked at him and burst into laughter. His Highness was really quick-tongued and upright.
The golden crow fell in the west, and the sunset dyed the sky and earth into a thin pink.
Li Luansong told Shen Que to pay more attention to Song Qingyue's visit to Zhang Chengru.
"You are right. That Zhang Chengru was very serious about his work. He ignored Madam Song and kicked her out. However, I asked Yuyue to investigate quietly and found out that Madam Song had stolen the old lady's private money. , actually went to buy exam questions for her natal brother."
Shen Que was stunned, "I heard that the sale of imperial examination questions has become a hot topic in the capital. It is said that they can be purchased with a lot of money and are guaranteed to be true. Is this true?"
Li Luansong nodded and said: "The question is in your hands. If you and Zhang Chengru don't know the question, who can get it? They must be prepared. Someone is causing trouble."
There was citrus-scented incense burning in the private room, and the rising green smoke seemed to appear as a phantom in the dusk.
The two of them stopped talking and had their own thoughts.
Shen Que frowned and said sadly: "Then once this matter is investigated, Zhang Chengru will definitely be found..."
Li Luansong felt his temples jump twice but remained silent.
Then Shen Que said again: "If we really find him, with his timid and fearful temper, His Highness will definitely be implicated. Even if he doesn't bite him, this person was chosen by Your Highness, so he will definitely not be implicated." Qing, will your Majesty then..."
It turned out that she was worried about him, that Zhang Chengru would be detrimental to him.
Li Luansong suddenly felt much more refreshed and said loudly, "Don't worry, I have my own plan in mind."
Of course he doesn't know what the success is, but a man can't always let women worry about him, right?
Shen Que blamed himself, and said with a grimace: "It's all my fault that I only think about one thing and not the other when doing things. I shouldn't let Zhang Chengru be responsible for this matter. Although he is serious, he is not responsible."
"It's okay, madam, no, Yuanyuan, don't worry, the matter may not develop to this extent." Li Luansong comforted her.
Seeing that she was still hesitant, he simply made it clear: "I'm sure someone is plotting behind this, killing two birds with one stone. He made a lot of money by selling the stolen questions, and then framed you. No, it's me, framed Me. Let me take responsibility. As for Zhang Chengru, it is just a breakthrough or at best a witness to frame me. "
Shen Que frowned and thought for a moment, "That's the logic. Who does Your Highness think is behind this?"
Li Luansong didn't understand what he said and gave her a cryptic look. Shen Que took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness the Second and His Highness the Fifth?"
Li Luansong nodded, gave her a piece of pork chop, and said: "Some people are like the cancer on that person's body. Since they are already terminally ill, they simply let it come out, and then they can be completely removed. Although it hurts for a while, it cures the root cause."
Shen Que was enlightened and said in shock: "Your Highness is indeed a man, and his thunderous methods are astonishing."
She looked at him with surprise and admiration. Li Luansong felt as if he was sitting in the clouds, light and comfortable.
"With His Highness's instructions, I know what to do." Shen Que suddenly became enlightened. He turned the chopsticks over in his hand, dipped the big end into the tea in the cup, and started making gestures on the table, "I have a plan. , if we can protect His Highness from being implicated, we will catch them all once the big fish is hooked."
Li Luansong raised his eyebrows: "I would like to hear the details."
The two people's heads were brought together, the lamps and shadows were shining, and the elegant room was filled with a strong fragrance, which was like the restlessness of spring, but also very harmonious.
After some planning, Li Luansong praised: "Wonderful plan, Yuanyuan is really smart."
Shen Que said shyly: "Where is it? Compared with Your Highness, I am just a small witch, and you are the one who hides it. If you ask me, since Your Highness can see it clearly, it is better to take action as soon as possible. If this great country is defeated, Wouldn’t it be a pity to have it in the hands of mediocre people?”
The two complimented each other, and the atmosphere couldn't be more harmonious.

On the second day, Shen Que did not need to go to the study, so he followed Li Luansong's instructions and asked Wuyue to take her to the school grounds.
Although she was leading the troops in training in May, she was the general after all, so it was unjustifiable that she always didn't show up. She had neglected this matter before, but Li Luansong only understood the importance of this after mentioning it to her.
Shen Que called Wu Yue to him and asked, "What did Your Highness do when he came to the school grounds in the past?"
Wuyue glanced at her and said: "Your Majesty will practice with everyone, the kind where you take off your arms and expose yourself to the sun. Then you will pick a few good ones to fight with each other, and then leave after they are happy."
Oh, then she can't, and Shen is indeed a little worried.
Wuyue took a look at the familiar face and saw a timid expression. It was so strange. She quickly said: "You don't have to be like this. Everyone knows that His Highness has been concentrating on studying recently. You can just take a look today and leave the rest to your subordinates." Down."
"Okay." Shen Que felt relieved.
Maybe Wuyue wanted to show off his strength, or maybe he wanted Shen Que to say a nice word to His Highness. Today's training was particularly hard, and Shen Que's heart was racing with excitement and he was filled with admiration.
Seeing His Highness so happy, Eunuch Shi was really happy and puzzled. Why did he feel that His Highness looked like he had never seen the world today? Don't you have to curse a few times when you see such a scene every day?
However, the next moment, Eunuch Shi felt completely bad.
Shen Que looked at the soldiers who were exposed to the scorching sun one by one, and their whole bodies were dark and oily. He quickly ordered: "Eunuch Shi, go and ask someone to buy some cakes and ice drinks. Oh, if you can't make the ice drinks, just boil them first." Some mung bean soup to relieve the heat."
Having said that, he quickly greeted May and let everyone rest. It was too hard, too hard.
Father-in-law Shi was completely torn apart.
His Highness today is really...unusual...
He held on to his hat and trotted away, leaving behind only the soldiers who were flattered and whose pupils were shaking, and May, who knew but could not say anything and was feeling uncomfortable.
Just as everyone was resting, Eunuch Shi came to report: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness Prince Gong and Prince Qing are here."
Lao Qi Lao Ba?
Shen Que paid great attention to Li Luansong's younger brothers and said hurriedly: "Please come quickly."
"Brother."
"Big brother."
The seventh child, Li Luancheng, has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He has a strong body, sharp and handsome features, holds a small amount of military power in his hands, and is straightforward and upright.
The eighth child, Li Luanxi, is younger. He is only fourteen years old this year. He still looks like a young man. He is sweet-tongued and quick-witted. He is deeply loved by His Majesty. He always remembers that his mother and concubine died early and left him by his side to educate him personally.
The two younger brothers came in high-spirited with smiles on their faces. However, Shen Que could see clearly that the seventh brother, Li Luan, was looking straight at her with a smiling face, while the eighth brother, Li Luanxi, had already turned three times with his small eyes. , taking in everything around you.
Shen Que thought of Li Luansong's evaluation of the two younger brothers: the seventh brother is real, and the eighth brother is smart but not yet determined.
I sighed again in my heart, he must be the one among these dragons and grandsons who is the best at pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
On that day, Shen Que used the excuse that he had stayed up late studying for many days, so Wu Yue and his two younger brothers had a headache-filled competition in the school field, and did not leave until sunset when they were exhausted.
Although she was just watching from the sidelines, she was so tired that she was late for the study for the first time the next day.
The teacher kept saying it didn't matter, but Shen Que found that the article he wrote was lost.
