Imperial Palace

After Shen Qinghan was done with the report, he raised his head and looked at Shen Yanwen and Shen Guyan who were playing chess.

"Guyan, you really didn't let royal father take a step?"

Shen Yanwen stared at the chess board and said solemnly.

"Father, there is no father and son on this board."

Shen Guyan gently fanned the slightly wrinkled paper fan, and laughed.

"Ai, you stinking brat, you have never gone against father's wishes. It used to be like this, now even playing chess is like this …"

Shen Yanwen sighed.

"Father, you have to compare me to royal brother Qinghan, don't you think that your son is more obedient?"

Shen Guyan slowly put away the fan, raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Qinghan, and smiled.

Hearing that, Shen Yanwen thought about it, and in the end nodded his head, "That makes sense."

Shen Qinghan remained expressionless.

"royal brother is really calm."

Shen Guyan grinned.

"Forget it, you all should stay for dinner later." Forget it, you all should stay for dinner later.

Shen Yanwen said helplessly.

"Alright, I will kill all of you there tonight too!"

Shen Guyan said.

"Do you want to anger royal father to death?"

Shen Yanwen glared fiercely at Shen Guyan.

"Jiang Yang, send someone back to inform them that I won't be going back for dinner tonight."

Shen Qinghan said to Jiang Yang who was standing at the side.

"This subordinate understands."

Jiang Yang withdrew.

"All along, I have been alone. Actually, I don't really like eating alone either. "

Suddenly, a voice rang beside Shen Qinghan's ears. He was startled.

"Father, you've lost. The ruler of a nation must be able to afford the loss!"

Shen Guyan chuckled.

Shen Yanwen was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at Shen Guyan.

"Evening meal, your son should return to the manor, so I will not stay. Please forgive me, royal father."

Just then, Shen Qinghan suddenly stood up and said indifferently.

Shen Yanwen was startled, but after thinking about it, he immediately understood. After that, he smiled and waved his hand, "Let's go."

"The vassal there is taking his leave."

Shen Qinghan withdrew after he finished his words.

Shen Guyan watched Shen Qinghan's back as he left, he opened up the fan, and gently fanned himself, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "royal brother sure walks very fast ~"

"The mansion now has another person waiting for him to eat. Naturally, he will leave quickly."

Shen Yanwen laughed.

"What does royal father mean?"

Shen Guyan said.

Whether you like women or men, royal father doesn't mind. However, when it's time to let go, let go, and then find a person who can wait for you at home. After a simple life, that will be enough.

Shen Yanwen lowered his head and played with the chess pieces, and suddenly said sincerely.

Hearing that, the smile on Shen Guyan's face froze.

Before Shen Qinghan even walked out of the palace gate, he heard Shen Guyan calling for him from far away.

Helplessly sighing, Shen Qinghan stopped in his tracks.

"royal brother, aren't you going way too fast?"

Waiting until they caught up, Shen Guyan could not help but complain.

"Aren't you staying in the palace tonight?"

Shen Qinghan said.

"I really can't handle royal father, so forget it."

Shen Guyan said as he shivered.

"Then go back earlier. Don't linger around those flowery alleys again."

Shen Qinghan glanced at Shen Guyan, and then turned and left.

"royal brother, you left so quickly. Is it really as royal father said, because someone is waiting for you in the manor?"

Shen Guyan quickened his pace and caught up with him, opening his mouth wide in a question.

"…"

Shen Qinghan did not reply as he stepped onto the carriage.

Shen Guyan closed the door and unhappily wrinkled his nose, then looked at the carriage and laughed: "If it's really like that, then it's fine."

Crown Prince's Palace

east yard

The night was slightly cold

"Mistress, dinner is ready."

San Xi said as he stood beside Lin Jie.

Lin Jie stretched his body and stood up, then lazily walked over to the side chamber. At the same time, the food was already prepared, but Shen Qinghan was not there.

"Where is His Highness?" 'Haven't you come back yet? '

Lin Jie looked around for a moment, then asked maidservant.

"In reply to master, His Highness sent someone over just now to say that His Majesty had personally arranged a banquet at the palace tonight, so he didn't come back to eat."

Hearing that, Lin Jie's mind became blank, and after a moment, he let out a soft 'oh'.

Lin Jie glanced at the dishes on the table. He was not used to the usual light and simple dishes, so the dishes became rich and the taste became delicious. Lin Jie sat down and picked at the white rice in his bowl boringly with his chopsticks, looking at the delicacies in front of him, but he was unable to raise his appetite.

Honestly speaking, eating alone was rather boring and tiring. Although he should have gotten used to it, for some reason, the loneliness he felt today was even more intense than before. Lin Jie felt that it was a pity that he didn't eat alone.

"Is it because he went back today?"

Lin Jie sighed, he lowered his head and continued to scoop the food in the bowl.

"Don't you know whether to eat or not?"

Suddenly, a low voice came from the side. Lin Jie was startled, he reacted and immediately looked to the side, the spotless moon-white clothes were reflected in his eyes, Lin Jie bit on the ribs, his gaze slowly moving forward, his tall and straight figure, narrow and straight shoulders, even his neck was white, and lastly he had a picturesque appearance, a slightly cold gaze.

Lin Jie forcefully swallowed the ribs in his mouth, "Why did you come back? Didn't you say that you won't be back for dinner? "

"I forgot to tell you something."

Shen Qinghan sat down opposite of Lin Jie, and the servant took the chopsticks and placed it in front of him.

"What?"

Lin Jie blinked his eyes.

"In the future, you are not allowed to sleep."

Shen Qinghan said as he picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of pork chop.

"…"

Lin Jie's mood was a little complicated, he simply put down his chopsticks, propped up his chin and looked at Shen Qinghan: "Have you never eaten dinner before?"

"What do you think?"

Shen Qinghan raised his gaze and coldly glanced at Lin Jie.

"Fine, pretend I didn't ask."

Lin Jie suddenly thought of something, and asked Shen Qinghan, "I can't even sleep soundly?"

"No."

Shen Qinghan said decisively.

"…"

The corner of Lin Jie's mouth twitched.

Shen Qinghan was making things too difficult for him.
