Chapter 96 Pig Brain
For a period of time afterwards, Shen Qingtang stayed in the bedroom to cultivate, and Shen Chengyu also stayed in the bedroom to recuperate, so Li Shiyang could not see them at all.
Li Shiyang was now alert, and Shen Qingtang could not let Shen Chengyu go to Li's house to deliver letters.
After Shen Chengyu was beaten, Shen Qingtang received the news the next day.
Humph, he ran fast.
Born in the royal family, whether it was Shen Muxin or Shen Chengyu, they all had a lot of life-saving things in their hands, and it was not so easy to get rid of them.
However, the people Shen Qingtang wanted to get rid of the most at the moment were Shen Muxin and Xie Jingchen.
Shen Qingtang felt uncomfortable when she thought of what happened in Yun County. She had wasted so much energy to save people, but Xie Jingchen killed everyone in one go. That damn bastard!
Turning grief and anger into motivation, Shen Qingtang's cultivation level increased rapidly during this period. She had a high level of comprehension and good talent. In just half a month, she broke through to the middle stage of foundation building.
This is what top geniuses are like. Cultivation is as simple as drinking water. It is both efficient and high-quality.
Shen Qingtang now eats alone. Looking at the empty seat next to her, Shen Qingtang thought of Lu Jiuan again.
Shen Qingtang shook her head violently. Oh, why do I always think of him?
"Fourth Princess, the emperor just sent someone to tell you to go to the Golden Throne Hall." Feicui walked in from outside the door.
Huh?
Is it time for dinner again?
Shen Qingtang put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up and headed for the throne room.
Shen Tianming sat behind the table, Shen Chengyu and Shen Muchen stood in front of him.
Shen Qingtang looked around.
[Huh? Why isn't the eldest brother here? ]
"Qingtang, come quickly." Shen Tianming smiled at her.
"Yes, father." Shen Qingtang walked over and stood on the other side of Shen Chengyu. She didn't want to stand with Shen Muchen.
Shen Tianming glanced at Shen Qingtang and the other two.
"Father asked you to come here this time because he has something to announce. Three days later, the envoys from Beiming Kingdom and their crown prince will come to the palace. A reception banquet will be held then. As the princes and princesses of Fengyin Kingdom, you must dress up to attend and not let others look down on you."
Shen Muxin was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that even the crown prince of Beiming Kingdom would come! It is said
that the crown prince of Beiming Kingdom is both civil and military, and he is a handsome man with elegant manners. She really wants to see him with her own eyes.
Shen Chengyu didn't react much when he heard this. After all, he already knew it before, but he hadn't remembered to tell father that Beiming Kingdom wanted to form a marriage alliance.
"Father, why didn't my eldest brother come?" Shen Qingtang asked.
[Why didn't my eldest brother come for such an important matter? 】
"Junlin is preparing to go to the northern border. Something happened there."
In fact, Shen Tianming has not discovered what happened at the northern border. This is just an excuse he made up.
However, Shen Tianming told Shen Junlin what Shen Qingtang encountered in Yun County, which made Shen Junlin pay more attention to this matter.
Originally, Shen Tianming planned to let Shen Junlin go to the border after the Spring Examination.
But when Shen Junlin heard about this, he took the initiative to ask to set off.
He really didn't want to stay in the palace. Xiao Hening came to see him almost every day, and Shen Junlin was almost annoyed by her.
Anyway, he would not marry Xiao Hening in the end, so he might as well leave the palace early.
Protecting Fengyin Country is the top priority.
[Go to the border? ]
[Could it be that the previous incident in Yun County has alerted them? ]
[That's good, let my eldest brother handle the border affairs, and I can reap the benefits. ]
Shen Tianming: ...
Qingtang is still thinking about competing for the throne!
Shen Chengyu:? ? ?
What does Qingtang mean by this?
Shen Tianming glanced at Shen Chengyu, "Chengyu, after your eldest brother left, you have to learn to take charge of the overall situation."
After all, Shen Tianming couldn't stay with the envoys of the Beiming Kingdom all the time, and private interactions still depended on Shen Chengyu and others.
"Don't worry, father, I will definitely handle this matter." Shen Chengyu answered seriously.
The eldest brother left, and he was the oldest brother, he had to be a good role model!
"Yes." Shen Tianming nodded, turned to look at Shen Qingtang and Shen Muxin, "You two should also help Shen Chengyu to get this done."
"Yes, father." Shen Mu said with confidence.
This time she must make her father and mother look at her with new eyes!
"Yes, father." Shen Qingtang nodded gently.
[I have a lot of things to do. ]
"Okay, Xin'er, you go down first, father still has something to say to them."
Shen Tianming handles things, especially not taking care of other people's feelings, he only cares about what he thinks in his heart.
After these words came out, Shen Muxin's eyes flashed slightly, she felt that she was excluded by her father and others.
Is there anything she can't listen to?
Now Shen Muxin feels that she is becoming more and more marginalized, and her father doesn't visit her in the Star-Picking Palace very often.
Father, on the contrary, became more concerned about his second brother and Shen Qingtang.
Shen Muxin was dissatisfied, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled faintly: "Yes, father."
After Shen Muxin left, Shen Tianming also dismissed the palace maids and guards.
"Qingtang, Shen Chengyu, have you made any progress in finding the examiner's spy?"
The Spring Examination is coming soon, and Shen Tianming wants to get rid of the spy before the Spring Examination, so as not to have more troubles.
Shen Chengyu honestly told the story of the Lantern Festival night, including the fact that he was beaten and the fact that he spent money to buy a house.
Hearing that Shen Chengyu was beaten, Shen Tianming was a little angry at first, but then he thought that he should suffer a little, so as not to suffer a bigger loss later.
As for the matter of spending money to buy a house, Shen Tianming automatically ignored it, after all, he was a little short of money now.
"You arrested Li Shiyang's daughter?"
Shen Tianming's face was serious: "Could it be that Li Shiyang is the spy?"
Shen Chengyu did not respond, but turned to look at Shen Qingtang.
"It is likely, but I am not 100% sure." Shen Qingtang replied indifferently.
Shen Tianming: ...
still pretending to him, anyway, Shen Qingtang has already taken action, so Li Shiyang is definitely a spy.
"Qingtang, do you need father to send someone to arrest Li Shiyang now?" Shen Tianming's eyes were anxious.
Why kidnap Li Shiyang's daughter? Isn't this a waste of time?
He really wanted to arrest Li Shiyang right now! Damn spy!
Shen Qingtang was speechless for a while after hearing this.
[Pig brain.]
[Second brother is so stupid, I guess he inherited your inferior genes.]
Shen Qingtang actually dared to call him stupid! He really has no respect for his elders!
Although Shen Tianming doesn't know what inferior genes are, this definitely doesn't sound good!
