After Shen Quan finished bathing, he changed his clothes, dried his hair, and waited for it to dry before tying it up to meet Su Fengyi.

Xiao Guo was helping him pack his changed clothes, so Shen Quan asked Xiao Guo:

"Did Shen He leave any message for me before he left?"

This is true, Xiao Guo said:

"Yes, yes. The junior general left a letter for the general, saying that he would read it when he came back. It's on the table in the east wing. Go get it."

Since he was free anyway, Shen Quan stood up and said:

"You keep busy, I can go by myself."

The east wing is designed as a study.

As soon as Shen Quan walked into the east wing of Wangyuexuan, he felt uncomfortable in his eyes.

Since he was a child, Shen He has never been able to put things away properly after using them. No matter how many times he was told to do so, he just wouldn't listen. Every time, Shen Quan had to follow him and clean up for him.

Now in the study, the books on the table are piled in a mess, and the books on the bookshelf are placed here and there. In short, Shen Quan feels uncomfortable no matter how he looks at it.

While Shen Quan was thinking about how he would have to have a good talk with Shen He when he came back, he sorted out the books on the bookshelf.

When he got to the table, Shen Quan picked up the books on the table one by one and took a quick look. He found that they were all books about going to sea. He was puzzled:

"Does Shen He want to go out to sea?"

This is like Shen He's personality. He doesn't want to stay in Xuanfu and wants to go out.

If he just goes to sea, he will be gone for several years. Shen He really wants to go, and Shen Quan feels a little worried.

After putting away the books one by one, I reached the bottom and saw a stack of papers. They were paintings drawn by Shen He. The first one was a painting of a fiery red phoenix wing flower.

Shen Quan picked up the paintings with a smile, looked at them one by one, and said to himself:

"You're a good painter, boy."

Shen He's paintings are just like him, using colors without reservation, passionately and directly, without any concern for concealment.

There are several pictures in a row, all of which depict phoenix wing flowers in various postures. Without exception, they are all gorgeous and flamboyant.

Later on, there are still scenes, several of which depict a corner of a house with open windows, some on sunny days, some on cloudy days, and some on rainy days.

Behind it is a table and chairs with a teapot and teacups under the eaves. On the table, two teacups are placed close together. The tea in the cups is still steaming, and the hot steam is lingering together, but there is no one in the painting.

The last picture finally showed a person, but it was a beauty leaning on a small couch in front of the window reading a book. Through the window, only a vague silhouette could be seen, and it was not clear.

Shen Quan collected all the paintings for him and found a box in the study to put them in. He just thought it was funny:

"This kid has someone in his heart. When he comes back, we must interrogate him thoroughly."

Based on Shen Quan's understanding of his younger brother, if he had someone in his heart, he would not hide it at all.

Shen He is the type of person who, if he figures out his feelings in the morning, he would want to find the girl and tell her about his feelings at noon, find a matchmaker to propose marriage in the afternoon, and hold the wedding night in the evening, and never stay overnight.

Therefore, Shen Quan found it strange that he painted a beauty in such a subtle way, and he had to ask him about it.

After packing up the books and paintings, Shen Quan went to read the letter Shen He left for him. Sure enough, Shen He was talking about going out to sea in the letter.

Shen He said that the princess wanted to send people out to sea, and he also wanted to go out, so when he came back from the Northern Tartars this time, he would ask the princess for this errand and go south to sea.

Shen He added, "It may take several years to go to Southeast Asia and back. Brother, you are not a child anymore. You should get married as soon as possible and marry your sister-in-law as soon as possible."

It would be best if he could attend his brother's wedding as soon as he returns from the Northern Tartars, the sooner he can, otherwise he will miss it after going out to sea.

Shen and Shen kept talking a lot, all of them urging Shen Quan to get married as soon as possible, and they didn't mention anything else. They were so disrespectful to each other that Shen Quan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After reading the letter and tidying up the study, Shen Quan called Xiao Guo over and asked:

"Who has the young general been in contact with during his time in the capital?"

Based on Shen Quan's understanding of his younger brother, since Shen He has someone in his heart, it is impossible for him to stay in the Princess's Mansion obediently.

You will definitely try every possible means to find an opportunity to meet your sweetheart. If you ask him who he is in contact with, you can guess the answer almost exactly.

As a result, Xiao Guo said:

"The young general stays in the Duke's Mansion every day and rarely goes out."

Hearing this, a strange and vague feeling came over him, and Shen Quan asked again:

"So what does he do every day?"

Shen He only does the same few things every day, Xiao Guo can recite them by heart, and said:

"The princess arranged a cook for the young general, and the young general gathers around the cook to make new snacks every day."

Oh, I see. That makes sense.

With all the delicious food, it’s no wonder Shen He doesn’t go out. He might not even be able to take care of his loved one.

Shen Quan listened and nodded:

"Okay, as long as he doesn't go out and cause trouble."

As a result, Xiao Guo continued:

"Then the young general went to see the princess every day, saying he was going to take care of the flowers. It seemed that the young general had planted a flower in the princess's study, so he went to see it every day."

When Shen Quan heard this, the strange and vague feeling in his heart gradually became clear.

Shen Quan was in great turmoil, but his face remained calm. He asked again:

"Every day?"

Xiao Guo thought about it and replied:

"I went there every day at first, but later I stopped going. I just read books and painted in the East Wing every day."

Shen Quan stared at Xiao Guo:

"When you came back and helped me pass the message to the princess, was Shen He there too?"

Xiao Guo nodded:

"Yes, the young general later asked me a lot of questions about General Shen and the princess."

At this point in the conversation, it’s clear what that weird feeling is.

Shen Quan asked Xiao Guo to go down, and opened the box that contained the paintings for Shen He again. He took out the painting of a beautiful woman reading a book painted by Shen He and looked at it.

It was just a blurry silhouette through the window, and it was actually difficult to distinguish. But Shen Quan had such doubts in his mind, and the more he looked at it, the more it looked like the person he had in mind.

So, Shen He, his younger brother, urged him to get married quickly and suddenly wanted to go to sea, thousands of miles away from home. Could this be the reason?

So what should he do?

If it was someone else, he would naturally be fearless and would not give in, but that was his own brother.

General Shen, who had been advancing bravely and never retreating on the battlefield, suddenly didn't know what to do.

At this time, a servant came at the door and said that it was the princess who sent a message that if General Shen was feeling better, he could go to the study to see her.

On the way to meet Su Fengyi with the servant, Shen Quan kept thinking about this question.

Arriving at the study, Shen Quan did not go inside, but looked in the yard first. He soon found the phoenix-wing flower, the half-open window, and the table and chairs under the eaves.

Exactly the same, even the silhouette of the beautiful woman leaning on the couch by the window reading a book, is exactly the same.
