Chapter 75 Getting Along

When Wen Zhiheng arrived at Yueyingxuan, he saw Chen Shiyi, who was dressed extremely beautifully, standing coquettishly under the emerald-green crabapple tree. The moment she looked back at him, he felt like he was losing his soul.

He stood there quietly, just looking at her foolishly.

When Chen Shiyi saw Wen Zhiheng, he walked towards him with a smile.

"Are you stupid? Why are you standing at the door without saying anything?"

Wen Zhiheng smiled and reached out to hug her tightly.

"You must be hungry. Let me take you to dinner."

"good."

Wen Zhiheng brought Chen Shiyi into Jingjiaoyuan.

The Marquis, Madam Wen, Wen Zhirou, Wen Zhiyuan, the Second Young Mistress with Ruier and Xiaozhi are all here.

When Mrs. Wen saw that everyone was present, she quickly arranged for the servants to serve the dishes.

It was the first time for Chen Shiyi to sit down and eat in such a beautifully renovated dining hall so formally, and he felt a little overwhelmed.

Under the table, Wen Zhiheng held her hand tightly, glanced at her, smiled knowingly, and signaled that she didn't need to be nervous.

The Wen family members were talking happily, talking about how hard things have come to an end, looking forward to the future, and planning for the future...

Wen Zhiheng packed a lot of Chen Shiyi's favorite dishes, poured soup, and wiped her lips with a handkerchief. After she finished eating, he handed her tea to clean her hands...

So thoughtful and considerate, as if Chen Shiyi was the only one at the table.

At the table, everyone had different expressions.

Wen Zhirou spoke.

"Eleven, are you used to living here?"

"fine."

Mrs. Wen continued on the side.

"If you need anything, just tell me."

"good."

The Marquis also spoke.

"Heng'er, come to my study later to discuss entering the palace tomorrow."

Wen Zhiheng replied respectfully.

"Yes, father."

After dinner, Wen Zhiheng held Chen Shiyi's hand and slowly walked back to Yueyingxuan.

"Eleven, I just returned to Kyoto and I may have a lot of things to do. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you during this period. If you are bored, I will find a troupe to perform a play to entertain you."

Chen Shiyi shook his head.

"Go ahead and do your thing. I'm fine."

"I have asked my mother to help me arrange the wedding. It won't be long before we can get married."

"good."

Wen Zhiheng couldn't see the joy on Chen Shiyi's face and felt very upset.

"Eleven, you said you wanted to like me."

Chen Shiyi was stunned, with doubt in his eyes.

"I remember. I've always remembered it. Don't worry, I won't forget it."

Wen Zhiheng looked at Chen Shiyi in deep silence, and couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.

"Eleven, why can't I feel any joy from you?"

Chen Shiyi replied gloomily.

"Maybe it's because I just arrived in Beijing today and I haven't recovered yet."

Wen Zhiheng sighed lightly, his voice low and hoarse.

"Then have a good rest for two days."

Chen Shiyi seemed to have thought of something and asked.

"Do you have any books there?"

"Yes, in the study."

"Can I come to your study to read?"

"Of course you can. What's mine is yours."

The next day, Chen Shiyi had nothing to do, so he took Shi Liu to Wen Zhiheng's Lingyun Pavilion.

The servant guarding the gate bowed quickly when he saw Chen Shiyi.

"The young lady is here. The prince has ordered me to stand guard at the door and listen to your instructions."

Chen Shiyi looked at the servant in front of him who lowered his head and looked obedient.

"What is your name?"

"My name is Yunshan, and I have been serving the prince since I was a child."

"I want to go to the study to read. Can you lead the way?"

Yunshan heard this and quickly replied respectfully.

"The prince told me that no matter what the young lady wants, I must do it."

Chen Shiyi pursed his lips and smiled.

Wen Zhiheng's study is completely different from hers.

Her study was just a room with a desk, some study treasures, some calligraphy and paintings, and a few vases.

In his study, the neat rows of bookshelves are like rows of neatly arranged soldiers, and on them are placed various lectures, hundreds of schools of thought, records of mountains and rivers, ancient books and old books...

Wen Zhiheng's philosophy of life and strategies must have come from this mountain of books.

Chen Shiyi thought that she would have something to do in the future.

When Wen Zhiheng came back, Yunshan was waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

"How come you are standing guard here? Isn't Eleven coming?"

Yunshan replied hurriedly.

"The girl came early in the morning and has been in the study ever since. She only comes out occasionally to ask for some water and food."

Wen Zhiheng shook his head helplessly.

"She must have been reading all day and didn't know how to keep her eyes open."

He stepped into the study and opened the window. The warm sunlight poured in, falling on Chen Shiyi, who was wearing a pear-yellow dress with cloud sleeves, and her figure was blurred. She was leaning in a rocking chair, holding a scroll in her hand, her brows slightly furrowed, but she looked relaxed and at ease.

The aroma of tea lingered beside me, and the crab roe snack was moved.

He slowly approached her, took the book from her hand, and sat on the stool next to her.

"What book are you reading? Are you so engrossed?"

Chen Shiyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"You're back?"

"I'm back," Wen Zhiheng put the book aside and held Chen Shiyi on his lap with both hands.

"Did you miss me?"

Chen Shiyi blinked.

"I've been reading all day today, so I don't have time to think about it."

Wen Zhiheng grabbed her wrist and bit it lightly.

"You are such a heartless person, you can't even say something nice to make me happy."

Chen Shiyi shuddered and pulled his hand back, rubbing it against his body inadvertently.

"You have been in the palace all day today. Is there something important?"

Wen Zhiheng put away his playful thoughts and replied seriously.

"It's a good thing. His Majesty wanted to compensate me by letting me find a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue. I will be reporting to the Ministry of Revenue from now on."

"You can become an official even though you haven't passed the imperial examination?"

Wen Zhiheng smiled.

"Who said I didn't take the science exam?"

Chen Shiyi blinked.

"In the sixteenth year of Yuanzhong, he ranked sixth in the imperial examination. Later, he was recommended by the Crown Prince's Guardian and was selected by the Emperor. He was directly admitted to the Imperial Academy as a Shujitu and was granted the right to walk before the Emperor."

Chen Shiyi admired him sincerely.

"You are amazing!"

Wen Zhiheng's smile dimmed.

"No matter how great I am, there are still people who don't like me."

Chen Shiyi muttered in a low voice.

"Then you are not copper money either. Copper money is what everyone likes."

Wen Zhiheng laughed at himself.

"Tomorrow I will turn into a copper coin, and you can hold it in your hand. I guess you won't be willing to let it go."

Chen Shiyi looked at Wen Zhiheng's aggrieved expression and chuckled.

"Look at yourself. You are so old, but you are still jealous. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"

"You are the only one who dares to laugh at me, no one else dares."

Wen Zhiheng thought of something and asked in fear.

"Don't you think I'm too old?"

Chen Shiyi looked into his eyes carefully and replied.

"Hate!"

Wen Zhiheng suddenly felt that he was not feeling well.

"I'm only in my twenties, in the prime of my life, at the most attractive time, and you actually dislike me?"

Chen Shiyi felt that he couldn't say any more. Besides, Wen Zhiheng wouldn't even be able to eat today.

Wen Zhiheng hugged Chen Shiyi tightly.

"I don't care, you have to coax me, and if you can't coax me..."

"What if it doesn't work?"

Wen Zhiheng was disappointed.

"If you can't coax me, what can I do with you? I can only be angry with myself."

Chen Shiyi held his cheek and kissed him.

"Okay!"

Wen Zhiheng's face, which had just been depressed, instantly became like a glacier meeting the sun, and was gradually stained with warmth, flowing through his limbs and bones, and his whole body was filled with warmth...

He was a little at a loss, just thinking that Chen Shiyi finally took the initiative.

He finally managed to win a little favor from her.

He held her tightly with his trembling hands. When he lowered his head to kiss Chen Shiyi, Yunshan's voice was heard outside the door.

"Sir, there's a message from the front yard asking you to come for dinner..."
