It was not until Wen Heng knocked on Shen Mingjue's door that he realized something was wrong.

Shen Mingjue has been decadent since leaving Prince Yong's Mansion. He doesn't go to class every day. Although it's okay for him to review in the dormitory, if he continues to look dispirited for a few more days, I'm afraid that the nine rankings that he has improved with great difficulty will soon drop. Although he is the son of a general and doesn't care about these results, and can rely on future military exploits to make a living, it's still not a good look.

This is also why Wen Heng persuaded him to study together as soon as he arrived.

We clearly agreed to review together yesterday, why are you still lying in bed?

"Master Shen? Master Shen?" Wen Heng called out twice but received no response, so he immediately walked to his bedside and patted him.

Shen Mingjue's face was filled with dejection, "...I'm getting up now."

"You can't go on like this." Wen Heng had just escaped from Zhou Chaoyang's intimidation, and he started to coax people before he calmed down.

"Master Wen, I've figured it out." Shen Mingjue straightened up. "Although the prince rejected me, he doesn't have anyone he likes... He thinks so highly of me, so I... definitely have a chance."

Wen Heng would think of the criteria for choosing a spouse that the prince had mentioned when they met last time. After a moment of hesitation, he finally told him, "The prince prefers virtuous people who can help him in the court. You are so different from the person he likes now. How can you make him like you?"

Shen Mingjue looked dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to react: "You mean... the prince likes that kind of person?"

Wen Heng had already sorted out the materials at the desk and said helplessly, "Yeah, so why don't you come over and review quickly?"

"I'll be right there." Shen Mingjue's energy and spirit returned all of a sudden, as if he was not the depressed and sad person he was in the past few days. He even folded his bedding, dressed neatly, and then sat down opposite Wen Heng.

"Master Wen, thank you for your reminder. I will study hard."

His eyes were already beautiful, and now they were filled with "hope", becoming even more dazzling, causing Wen Heng's heart to tremble when he saw them.

He found his voice again: "Then let's start from the left hand side." He really couldn't understand why the prince rejected Shen Mingjue.

How could I not be satisfied with such a gentle, kind, and ambitious handsome young man, who also comes from the General's Mansion?

"I guess the exam questions this month will be based on these few topics. Let's review them first..." He pointed to the questions he had listed on the table and started talking about them one by one.

I thought Shen Mingjue would not be able to hold on for long and would start to lose focus, but this time he was determined and not only did he not get caught by Wen Heng, he also raised reasonable questions that made Wen Heng look at him with admiration.

Seeing Shen Mingjue getting closer to Gu Changfeng's standard, Wen Heng suddenly realized that this person was really smart, but he had never used his mind in the right place.

It seems that he has to work harder.

The two of them studied for three hours, and by the end even Wen Heng felt a little dizzy, but Shen Mingjue still looked energetic.

Suddenly, Shen Mingjue put down his pen.

"Master Wen, although it's inappropriate for me to ask this, how do you know what kind of person the prince likes?"

Wen Heng answered subconsciously: "Of course the prince told me himself."

He looked at Shen Mingjue's obviously unconvinced expression and explained, "Since you left, I wanted to come back with you. But I thought that you admired him so much, and he also admired you in his heart, so I wanted to bring them together."

At this point, Wen Heng blushed a little, feeling a little embarrassed: "I thought he was in love with you, but he just didn't know how to express it. But he said that he felt familiar with you because he knew you as a child, and he couldn't help but want to get close to you..."

Looking at the other person's shining eyes, Wen Heng couldn't bear it, and temporarily put aside Gu Changfeng's original words that Shen Mingjue was his brother, "He said that he would rather the other owner of the palace is a virtuous person, and he has no intention of being with anyone for the time being. So I think, when Mingjue, you are appointed to an official position in the future, maybe the prince will take the initiative to come to you?"

He doesn't want to delay you now.

Shen Mingjue didn't know if he was too deeply involved, but he believed such a crude excuse all of a sudden: "I see, so that's the case. Then I will be a virtuous person."

Wen Heng thought that now he could only take things one step at a time.

Who knows if the prince really has Shen Mingjue in his heart?
