Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 133 Fate

"I know."

Xu Yuan nodded, and then, remembering what Qi Shengxin said, he asked, "Are you the head of the Poetry Pavilion?"

Shen Yichuan raised his eyebrows, "In Beijing, everyone seems to know it."

"Then do you know who the head of the Chasing Wind Hall is?"

"do not know."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan turned his head away silently, "I thought that with your status, you would know?"

"This poetry pavilion is just the son inheriting his father's business."

As Shen Yichuan spoke, his smile suddenly faded, "Do you know why I followed the Third Master?"

This was the first time Xu Yuan heard Shen Yichuan mention this. She asked, "Why?"

"Because, the Third Master and I are of the same kind. We are both favored by everyone, but in fact, we are both ignored. In the eyes of the people in the capital, the Third Prince is loved, but no one really cares about him. Just like me, I took over the Poetry Pavilion at a young age and couldn't even decide my own marriage."

Shen Yichuan sighed softly and said with a smile: "He and I just want to hold our destiny in our own hands."

When Xu Yuan heard the loneliness in Shen Yichuan's words, his expression also became dull.

After a long while, she said, "Mr. Shen, you will get what you wish for."

In his previous life, before Xu Yuan went to prison, Shen Yichuan had not married.

She didn't know which girl Shen Yichuan would marry in the end, but she knew that Beiyao would become the crown prince.

If nothing unexpected happens, he can become the crown prince and become emperor.

What Shen Yichuan wishes for will eventually come true.

"Let me borrow your good words." Shen Yichuan smiled.

Outside the door, someone knocked softly. The maid opened the door, took out the letter, handed it to Shen Yichuan, and then left.

Shen Yichuan did not open the letter, but handed it to Xu Yuan directly and said, "Inside the envelope, there are two pieces of paper, one is the topic, and the other is blank. You only have one chance, so think it over before you write."

Make a wish and nod.

Shen Yichuan held his chin and looked across, then said, "It seems that Qi Shengxin is not prepared to embarrass you. The one who will answer the Qi family today is Qi Shengzhu."

"It's a good thing."

After making a wish, he opened the letter.

Just as Shen Yichuan said, there were two pages of paper in the envelope, one was blank and the other had the word "缘" written on it.

I think "fate" is the topic of today.

Xu Yuan thought about it and picked up the pen next to him.

Seeing Xu Yuan did not hesitate at all, Shen Yichuan reminded him: "Think carefully, you only have one piece of paper and one chance."

"I know, I've thought about it." Xuyuan nodded.

When she touched the letter paper, she felt that it was unusual.

I think there is only one copy in each private room.

This means that a person can only submit one poem.

After hearing Xu Yuan's words, Shen Yichuan said no more.

Xuyuan raised the brush, and the moment the brush fell, black ink spread out.

Shen Yichuan stood up, walked behind Xu Yuan and looked at him without saying a word.

It was not until Xuyuan finished writing the entire poem that he came to his senses and couldn't help asking, "Xuyuan, have you only ever been to a private school?"

Or is it that the Xu family's legacy is really that powerful?

This poem for making a wish no longer needs to be brought out, and it doesn't even need to be selected.

Shen Yichuan believed that no one present today could write a better poem than Xu Yuan.

Including Qi Shengxin.

"My father taught me some, and the teacher in the school also taught me a lot."

Xuyuan blew the letter paper dry, folded it carefully, and put it back into the envelope.

Not only did Xu Wenxian teach her, she also studied in Wenhua Palace, and even Shen Yichuan taught her a lot.

It was her experiences in her previous life that made her what she is today.

However, you cannot mention the following when making a wish.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yichuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Just now I told Third Master that if you were to take the Wenhua Palace exam, I would give you a break. Now it seems that it is no longer necessary. Your talent is not inferior to mine."

If it weren't for Xu Yuan's identity, Shen Yichuan would have wanted to introduce Xu Yuan to his father at this moment.

"Mr. Shen, you are too polite." Xu Yuan smiled. She handed the envelope to the maid and then sat back.

Shen Yichuan sat down and said, "You and I don't have to be so distant. I'm older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me big brother. It's uncomfortable to always call me Master Shen."

After Shen Yichuan finished speaking, he thought of Zhang Yue and felt that what he said before was a bit inappropriate, so he changed his words and said, "It doesn't seem good either, why not just call me Ji Huai."

Jihuai is the pen name of Shen Yichuan.

Hearing this, Xu Yuan said, "How can I despise you for helping me so much? I will use tea instead of wine to toast you, big brother."

"okay."

Hearing the word "brother", Shen Yichuan's face suddenly lit up with joy. He picked up the teacup and said, "If that old man Qi Chengen doesn't want to help you, I will ask my father to help you. You don't have to worry too much about entering Wenhua Palace."

"No thanks." Xu Yuan shook his head.

"Why?"

"I can't let you get involved." Xu Yuan looked at Shen Yichuan and pursed his lips. "You also know my identity. If you get close to me, it will only hurt you."

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. I said I would help you, and I won't leave it alone."

Shen Yichuan paused, lowered his voice and said, "Do you know that Shige was once one of the Xu family's assets? It was handed over to my father after the Xu family was wiped out."

Xu Yuan was stunned.

Shen Yichuan continued: "So, I won't sit idly by, but I also have my own selfish motives. I don't want to implicate the entire Shen family."

"But I don't want to implicate you." Xu Yuan sighed softly.

Shen Yichuan only knew that she was a descendant of the Xu family, but he didn't know that she was a woman dressed as a man.

This is a crime of deceiving the emperor.

"How can you be implicated before the end of the matter? Maybe, if the case is overturned, you will become a rising star in the capital. By then, I will have to trouble you to give me some help."

Shen Yichuan clinked glasses with Xu Yuan, and after drinking the tea in one gulp, he spoke again: "Xie Xiaocheng will be transferred back to the capital. If nothing unexpected happens, your brother will be sent to Hanzhou. You can ask your brother to check Hanzhou."

"General Xie is going to be transferred back to the capital? How can he be transferred back to the capital?" Xu Yuan was stunned.

Qi Chengen has already made such a report... Who on earth could have transferred Xie Xiaocheng back to the capital?

The third prince Beiyao?

But the third prince clearly didn’t even have the chance to attend court.

"With only one choice, Qi Chengen had no other choice but to let Xie Xiaocheng return to Beijing."

Shen Yichuan blinked and said jokingly, "Wei Chenggong."

Shen Yichuan's words exploded in Xu Yuan's ears like thunder from a clear sky.

After a long while, she finally responded and murmured, "Is it the prince?"

Shen Yichuan nodded. "So, do you know why I asked you to join the Third Prince? Because some people like to shoot themselves in the foot."

The wish was silent.

She had never thought that the prince would dare to do such a rebellious thing.

On the one hand, the prince intended to rebel, and on the other hand, Xie Xiaocheng was transferred back to Beijing.

Qi Chengen really had no other choice.

He had no choice but to choose the latter, and so did the prince.

But the Third Prince transferred Xie Xiaocheng back to Beijing, and also widely exposed the Song family's arson and murder. Could it be that... he was planning to let Xie Xiaocheng replace Song Tiancheng?
