Chapter 466 Playing on occasion

Wenren Zong looked grim and helped him up: "How is it?"

Xiao Tingshan opened his eyes, his vision was blurry. Because the charcoal fire in the room was very strong, after sweating all over, he felt a little cold.

"Nothing." Xiao Tingshan propped himself up and sat on the bed. He didn't wake up until he drank another bowl of medicine.

That dream... was so real that it seemed like it had just happened...

But now he is having a hard time and is not as prosperous as he dreamed of.

Also, who is sitting in the wedding sedan?

How could he have such a dream?

What made Xiao Tingshan feel even more absurd was that he actually dreamed of himself wearing a yellow robe and becoming the crown prince.

Ridiculous, this is really ridiculous!

The dream was chaotic, and although Xiao Tingshan found it absurd and ridiculous, it had a strong aftereffect.

He sat back on the bed, still unable to stop thinking about the dream.

The dream was too beautiful. Not only was he in good health, with his lovely wife by his side, he was also able to make powerful decisions in the court.

After he entered the Privy Council, he rose step by step and was very happy...

But no matter how beautiful the dream is, the reality makes him feel as tormented.

He has been planning for several years, but now, he has been defeated at every step and has achieved nothing. But when did this start?

Wenren Zong said in a deep voice: "Do you feel better?"

"Yeah." Xiao Tingshan withdrew his thoughts.

Wen Renzong: "Meng Kuo participated in a martial arts competition in the training ground today and was kicked out. He then got drunk and got into an argument with someone, and was detained in the Ministry of Justice."

Xiao Tingshan frowned: "How is his injury?"

Wen Renzong shook his head: "His right hand was pierced, so he couldn't hold the knife steadily, his meridians were blocked, and his internal strength also declined a lot."

Xiao Tingshan was silent for a while, then slowly said, "We'll find a reason to remove him from his current position and replace him with Yue Yan."

Wenren Zong frowned and said, "Yue Yan has always been at odds with Meng Kuo. If this happens, Meng Kuo will probably be dissatisfied."

Xiao Tingshan lowered his eyes, breathing weakly, "I don't have many people I can use, so Meng Kuo will stop here in the future. I will find him an idle position as a reward for following me for so many years."

Wenren Zong said nothing more. Indeed, Xiao Tingshan had no power or influence and only had the title of a prince. It was not easy for him to win over experts, so it was impossible for him to use an important position to support a useless person.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tingshan couldn't help but think of Shen Shuyi again.

How could that woman do what he couldn't do? How could so many masters be willing to follow her?

*

After Shen Shuyi returned to his room, he asked Qin Xin to deliver a message to his uncle.

"Tell him that Shen Jinglin can take action now."

"Yes."

She waited for a long time, waiting for Qin Xuerong or the Qin family to find out about Shen Jinglin.

She wanted her to know that everything was done by her, but she could do nothing about it. She wanted her to know clearly what it meant to be overjoyed and then turn to sorrow, and what despair followed by great joy was.

Shen Shuyi continued to paint with a focused look, and he put a lot of thought into it.

Soon, Jinzhu came in from outside: "Miss, the matter of Wang Taifu's family has been investigated clearly."

"Tell me." Shen Shuyi didn't even raise his head.

"Master Wang Xiao has always been involved with Miss Hongxiu from Tianxiang Tower. He regards her as his confidant and has even threatened to redeem her and marry her back home. However, Madam Wang is very strict with money and Miss Hongxiu's asking price is very high. Master Wang Xiao usually goes to support her, so he has never been able to raise enough money..."

Later, Master Wang Xiao simply started selling calligraphy and paintings on the street, which made Master Wang so angry that he chased him and broke several boards.

Without even raising his head, Shen Shuyi said softly, "And then?"

Then Mrs. Wang couldn't stand it anymore, so she gave a large sum of money to the madam of Tianxiang Tower and Miss Hongxiu, and asked them not to let Wang Xiao see this girl again.

When Wang Xiao found out about this, he was furious, which led to the scene outside Tianxiang Tower that day.

Fortunately, the madam of Tianxiang Tower was sensible and knew that it was not easy to offend Tutor Wang. Moreover, Madam Wang was kind and had given such a large sum of money, so she kept her word and never let Wang Xiao step into the door of Tianxiang Tower again.

However, Wang Xiao lost his beloved and was unable to see her again, so he became completely depressed.

During this period, he drank heavily every day and often shouted and yelled outside Tianxiang Tower, which made Master Wang so angry that he wanted to kick him out and no longer wanted to acknowledge him as his son.

Shen Shuyi slowly put down his pen, washed his hands and said, "I think Madam Wang is worried and anxious recently."

Having a son like this, and an only son at that, would make anyone angry.

What’s more, Master Wang and Madam Wang are people who value their reputation.

"That's right. I heard that at the morning court yesterday, Imperial Tutor Wang resigned from the position of the prince's teacher, saying that he had failed to teach his own son and had no face to teach the prince." Jinzhu said in a clear voice.

"Your Majesty will not agree." Shen Shuyi smiled.

Jinzhu nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty only said that a man who is not romantic is not worth his youth, but he praised Young Master Wang for his true character, which saved a lot of face for Master Wang."

"What is Hongxiu's character like?" Shen Shuyi asked.

When this was mentioned, Jinzhu had a lot to say: "That Miss Hongxiu is a famous courtesan, with good attainments in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, plus she has an excellent appearance, so she is quite popular among the talented men in the capital."

"That girl is very good at socializing, and she often interacts with high-ranking officials and dignitaries. She has never offended anyone, and many people have said they would redeem her. But for some reason, she is still staying in Tianxiang Tower."

Hearing this, Shen Shuyi said, "Why? Because rare goods are in great demand. Either she has someone backing her up, or she wants to use Tianxiang Tower to become famous. Only in this way can she find a husband of her dreams among the dignitaries in the capital."

Such a person must be just playing around with Wang Xiao and there is no real sincerity between them.

Jin Zhu was surprised: "Young lady is really good at predicting things! Others say that this red-sleeved girl is not interested in money and is a person of temperament, but there are also some gossips, saying that this red-sleeved girl is actually profit-driven and loves the rich and powerful. Although she has coaxed Wang Xiao around, she actually never takes him seriously..."

Shen Shuyi said coldly: "Keep a close eye on her."

"Yes."

She hoped that her brother could become a disciple of Master Wang. The Wang family was of good integrity, so she could only start with Wang Xiao.

What's more, Wang Xiao is a kind-hearted person with great talent. If he can study hard, he can become a pillar of society.

It would be a pity to indulge in women's little thoughts and tricks.

Just as the words fell, Lian Qiao jumped in from outside and said, "Sister Yi, Brother Jiuchou found Tong Guan's mother and sister, and they are now with us."

"I'll go over and take a look." Shen Shuyi was worried.

Lian Qiao called her over and said, "That auntie is fine, but that little girl..."

"What's wrong with her?"

"She has been refusing to speak, as if she has been frightened. She hides when she sees people and stays in a corner, ignoring everyone. If you push her too hard, she will pounce on you and bite you." Lian Qiao couldn't help feeling distressed when she thought of those deer-like eyes.

But the girl was so scared that she couldn't even take her pulse.

Shen Shuyi didn't ask any more questions. He took up his cloak and said softly, "Let's go and take a look."
