draw the wind

At dawn the next day, I left the Shen residence.

I can occasionally hear people talking about Yan Hua on the street. In their mouths, Yan Hua seems to have become a shameless disciple. If I didn't want to make trouble, I would definitely go forward and argue with them.

Yan Hua is the son of a merchant, and he was appointed as the sixth-rank Cheng Yilang after being selected last year. Although he is only a small official position, it is also the achievement of his hard work for many years.

It's not like Shen Che's back to the aristocratic family, who wants the wind to get the wind and the rain to get the rain.

My father is a bachelor in charge of the Imperial Academy, and is also the present grand tutor, and my aunt is the Empress Dowager's most beloved Princess Jiahe. With parents like these, Shen Che is a noble person.

Don't say that he is talented and intelligent, even if he is an idiot, he is destined to go smoothly in this life and have a bright career.

He is such a proud son of heaven, why should he have a hard time with Yan Hua?

I must rescue Yan Hua, no matter what method I use.

Last night I had already inquired that His Highness the Third Prince was staying in the Spring Wind Pavilion. He had met Yan Hua and me a few times, and he seemed to appreciate Yan Hua's literary talent in his words. Ask him to find him.

Although Meng Lang is famous, I don't really want to have any contact with him, but I only know such a royal family and nobles. If even the Third Highness refuses to help, I will be helpless.

Chunfeng Pavilion is the most popular place for children from aristocratic families in the capital to visit. His Highness the Third Highness is a frequent visitor here. I explained my purpose to the servant, and after a while, someone took me in.

I've never been to such a place, and I'm actually a little timid, but for Yan Hua's sake, I have to go this way.

Outside, you can hear the laughter in the room.

I thought that coming here during the day would avoid embarrassment to some extent, but after entering the door, I found that the house is still beautiful.

There were not only the Third Highness in the room, but also many drunken descendants of aristocratic families. As soon as I entered, they all looked at me. These bright stares gave me the urge to run away. I made up my mind and saluted the Third Highness respectfully.

There were two beautiful girls sitting beside the Third Highness, his robe was loose, half leaning against his soft arms, and asked me, "Song Ling, what are you looking for in this hall?"

Facing so many gazes, I couldn't directly explain the purpose of my trip, so I hesitated for a long time before replying, "I have something important to report to Your Highness alone."

His Highness raised his tune, and bursts of laughter rang out from all around. Someone teased with malicious intent, "Which family are you from? What are your own words that His Highness can hear, but we can't?"

I blushed and looked at the Third Highness asking for help.

His Highness the Third Highness waved at me, "Come here, and whisper it to me."

There was another snickering sound.

No matter how dull I am, I still know that I am no different from a clown in the eyes of these aristocratic masters, but if I leave like this, who will save Yan Hua?

I will never beg Shen Che again.

Under the urging eyes of His Highness, I stepped forward bravely.

His Highness the Third Highness poured the wine, took the golden cup in his hand, and said, "After you drink this wine, I will listen to you."

I couldn't help hesitating, he propped himself on the desk with one hand, and still held the gold bottle in the other, probably he would ignore me if I stopped drinking the wine.

There are too many eyes of various colors behind her, like a light on her back.

I pursed my lips and stretched out my hand to take the wine glass. His Highness retracted his hand and smiled coquettishly, "Just drink like this."

He wants me to drink the wine in his hand, how is it different from treating me like a girl from Chunfeng Pavilion?

I was ashamed and annoyed, and I didn't move for a long time.

His Highness made a gesture to come and pull me, but I took a step back again and again, but before I could, he grabbed my hand and lifted the desk, and I fell on top of him, spilling the wine all over my body.

"Song Ling," he held me while I was struggling, and said with a low smile, "Why is Shen Che willing to let you come here and let the hall guess that you are here for Yan Hua?"

When I heard him mention Yan Hua, I stopped moving for a moment, looked at him very closely, and said anxiously, "Yan Hua is innocent."

"Whether you are innocent or not is not up to the hall to decide."

I still wanted to talk, but the door suddenly opened from the outside, and upon hearing the sound, Shen Che stood in front of the door with a gloomy expression.

His Highness pushed me out, and said to Shen Che, "How do you thank me?"

Seeing Shen Che's expression, I was too frightened to breathe out.

How could he appear here? His Highness must have tipped off the news.

Shen Che bowed slightly, "He will come to thank His Highness someday."

As he spoke, he held my wrist and led me in his direction. He patrolled for a week, his voice was not loud but clear, "The little servant at home has a bad temper, and he came here to disturb everyone. I will go back and discipline him properly."

I heard him say that I was a slave, and I was so angry that I wanted to break away from his hand. He gave me a cold look, and I was instantly defeated and dared not do anything wrong.

Before leaving, I heard the people inside whispering.

"This little slave is born with a pretty face, no wonder Shen Shaoqing takes it so seriously."

"What little slave, I can't say it when I see it."

More unearthly conversations are getting quieter.

Shen Che dragged me forward without saying a word, I struggled angrily, "Where are you taking me?"

Hearing this, he looked back at me deeply, didn't answer my question, just kicked open a side room and pushed me in.

When I stood still, he had already locked the door, strode forward and forced me to the side of the bed, his eyes darkened and said, "Since you dare to come to this kind of place, you know what will happen, don't you?"

I was startled, and said angrily, "Who is as dirty as you?"

I pushed him away and wanted to leave, but he stretched out his hand to stop him, with a gloomy face, "What kind of person is the Third Highness, you dare to come here alone, Song Ling, I really underestimated you."

When Shen Che called my full name, it was conceivable that he was really angry.

I have experienced how terrifying he is when he gets angry, all my arrogance was extinguished in an instant, and I stammered, "It was you, you forced me to this point..."

Shen Che looked at me quietly, and said slowly, "If I really want to force you, you won't even be able to turn my palm out."

He really has this ability, just one sentence can make me lose my voice, and I dare not provoke him again.
