A scholar’s ​​path to becoming a god

Sheng Zhiyu smiled and said: "If you can recognize it, it means that I am a pretty good painter."

"It's more than good. I didn't expect your painting skills to be so good." Xiang Junyao said sincerely.

Sheng Zhiyu called the maid and handed the portrait to her: "Come and see if the painting looks like the Duke?"

The maid nodded and said: "They are exactly the same. It's just that why did the lady put a mask on the Duke? It feels weird."

Ruan Lu was shocked. She pointed at the portrait with trembling fingers and said, "What do you mean, this, this is the Duke?"

The maid raised her head with an incomprehensible expression: "Yes, anyone familiar with the Duke can recognize him. What's wrong?"

Ruan Lu chuckled and said, "It's nothing."

The maid withdrew.

"Yu'er, it seems you have guessed it."

Gu Xingzhou's figure appeared at the door,

"I followed the masked man that day, but he was very cautious and turned around six or seven times along the road, and then changed clothes with the servant, so I lost track of him.

But the direction of the carriage was indeed towards this manor. "

Xiang Junyao said dullly: "So Princess Orillo's lover is actually Zhiyu's father?"

Sheng Zhiyu said quickly: "Don't talk nonsense about this. My father only loved my mother in his life. Their relationship is good. This Duke is not my father."

Xiang Junyao said: "This is not the point. The point is that Princess Orillo actually falls in love with a married woman? Then how can we help her? Are we encouraging the Duke to elope with her?"

Sheng Zhiyu shook his head: "The Duke does not love Princess Orillo, and he will definitely not elope with her."

Ruan Lu said: "Now that all the spindles in the country have been burned, there will definitely be no problem for the princess to stay here honestly. Could it be that after she eloped with the Duke, or was married to a neighboring country, she accidentally touched Spindle, did you fall asleep just now?”

Sheng Zhiyu shook his head: "No, I think the princess... has actually been stabbed by the spindle. What we can do now is to wake her up from her deep sleep."

Ruan Lu was puzzled: "Although she is sick, she did not fall asleep."

Gu Xingzhou continued: "The deep sleep that Yu'er is talking about does not mean deep sleep in the traditional sense, but indulging in immoral love and being unable to extricate yourself."

"As for the spindle, he didn't even appear." Ruan Lu was still puzzled.

Sheng Zhiyu smiled: "Why didn't you show up? Think about it carefully. Is there anything else that looks like a spindle?"

something like a spindle...

Ruan Lu thought about it for a long time but didn't come up with it.

Sheng Zhiyu reminded: "You were stabbed by a spindle yesterday, and there were two of them."

Ruan Lu gradually understood, and her expression became very strange.

Xiang Junyao, who was next to him, also understood, with a confused expression on his face: "What you said does make some sense, but it's a little..."

Somewhat ruining the three views.

"So being stabbed by the spindle and falling into a deep sleep, is that what it meant?" Xiang Junyao said numbly.

Sheng Zhiyu said: "If you want to live well, you must constantly abandon your original three views. The world is so big and full of wonders.

As the saying goes, I am not afraid to assume the worst ill will in others, but I never expected to be so cruel.

This is human nature. "

Xiang Junyao said weakly: "I can't bear it anymore, I want to be quiet."

Ruan Lu said: "The princes from neighboring countries will also attend the ball tonight, so what should we do, persuade the princess to marry Prince Richard from afar?"

Sheng Zhiyu thought deeply: "I don't think it's that simple. There will definitely be some unexpected things happening at the dance tonight."

Xiang Junyao said: "Even if Princess Orillo suddenly turns into a dinosaur, I won't be shocked anymore."

Sheng Zhiyu raised the corners of his lips: "That's not necessarily true. I guarantee you will be quite shocked."

Gu Xingzhou said: "Actually, I have another piece of news I want to tell you, but you have already met the queen today, and I feel that Yu'er has already guessed it."

Sheng Zhiyu nodded: "I guessed it indeed. Junior brother, I need your help for the dance tonight."

Soon it was time for the evening dance.

Sheng Zhiyu and the other three got dressed up and headed to the palace in a carriage.

Ruan Lu, wearing a light pink and light blue tutu, complained: "It's really uncomfortable to have to wear a corset again."

Xiang Junyao wore a burgundy skirt with a large skirt. She is a special police officer herself and has excellent endurance. Things like corseting are nothing to her.

Sheng Zhiyu didn't feel too uncomfortable because her waist was already very thin, so the girdle wasn't very tight. The heavy Tiffany blue dress even had a light texture when worn on her body.

Xiang Junyao said: "Zhiyu, I think you can become a supermodel or something. You really look good in anything you wear."

Sheng Zhiyu smiled and said: "How can I have time? I have to practice and write a doctoral thesis at the same time."

Ruan Lu had a headache when she heard the doctoral thesis: "You haven't finished your 60,000-word thesis yet?"

Sheng Zhiyu said: "It's so easy to write, and it has to be innovative. I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the thesis defense. Besides, I'm studying for a double doctoral degree, and I have to prepare two papers."

Ruan Lu: "..."

Xiang Junyao: "..."

The carriage quickly arrived at the palace.

This time it was Princess Orillo's eighteenth-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, and the ball was naturally extremely luxurious.

The last time the palace was so lively was when Princess Orillo was born.

It's just that the queen is not here, she seems to be resting in the palace because of physical discomfort.

There were already many nobles in the banquet hall, and the Duke and Duchess came together with Sheng Zhiyu and others.

It's just that the carriage the couple was riding in was not a carriage at all, and their relationship was completely broken.

Princess Orillo had already dressed up to attend, and when she saw the Duke, her body trembled slightly.

The Duke glanced at her and then looked away.

In public, Princess Orillo could not step forward to confess her love to the Duke.

After all, this was still a high-society dance, and as a royal princess, she couldn't afford to embarrass this person.

Sheng Zhiyu noticed her gaze and knew that she should add fuel to the fire. She walked to the Duke and sweetly shouted: "Father!"

Princess Orillo swayed and almost fell down, her big eyes filled with shock.

This is actually my friend's father?

The Duke didn't like his first wife and was very indifferent to his daughter. However, when his daughter called him with such admiration, he still felt the warmth of a father in his heart: "What's wrong, Yuyu?"

Sheng Zhiyu smiled sweetly: "It's nothing, I just haven't seen my father for a long time and I miss him very much."

The Duke looked at this daughter and wondered when she had become so beautiful.

He couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "I'm sorry, father will stay with you more in the future."

Only then did Sheng Zhiyu enter the topic and stuffed a secret letter into the Duke's pocket: "Father, a maid in the palace asked me to give this to you just now, and I told you to read it."
