I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 291 I'm Not Your Rival

After a stick of incense.

Wei Changtian found Chu Xianping in another guest room on the pretext of going to "go to Gong".

Pulling the latter into the courtyard, Wei Changtian asked about Da Fengshen's family.

However, the answers obtained were very limited.

Although Chu Xianping had a general understanding of the basic situation of Dafeng before going to Yuanzhou, but now he only knows that the Shen family is one of the famous families in Dafeng.

He was born as a civil servant for generations, and some people became high officials in the court, so there is no information other than that.

As for that "Mr. Shen", he didn't even know his name.

"My lord, what's the problem with the Shen family?"

After a brief introduction of the situation, Chu Xianping asked in a low voice: "Do you need to ask the Tongzhou Association to check it carefully? There should be a reply by tomorrow at the latest."

"no need."

Wei Changtian waved his hand: "I'm just asking casually, you should go back first."

"Yes."

Soon, Chu Xianping left and returned to the guest room.

And Wei Changtian really ran to the bathroom, and then slowly returned to the main hall.

"Young Master Wei, it's just in time for you to come back."

Wang Qixing, who was drinking tea with Li Wutong, had returned to his normal expression at this moment, and when he saw him coming in, he smiled and said: "My little man is preparing some thin wine and food in the humble house today, I hope you will give me a drink."

"Okay, then I'll be disrespectful."

Turning his head to look at Li Wutong, he knew that Wang Qixing must have opened the table because she said he wanted to eat.

Wei Changtian agreed casually, but he was somewhat puzzled in his heart.

Didn't you just say you want to see Mr. Shen?Why are you eating now?

Wouldn't it be embarrassing for someone to come later?
Let people serve it, it's already eaten here.

If you don't let people serve the table, is it possible to make them wait?

Although Li Wutong's identity is here, I always feel that it is inappropriate to act like this
Combined with Li Wutong's smug expression before, Wei Changtian had already made a rough guess about the relationship between Mr. Shen and Li Wutong.

But he wasn't sure what Li Wutong was going to do with this whole thing, so he definitely wouldn't say much.

From the main hall, walk a few steps around to a spacious and bright dining room.

Served by a few maids, everyone cleared their hands and mouths, and then sat down one after another.

Wei Changtian, Li Wutong, Wang Qixing, and Wang Qixing's wife Liu Shi.

There are a total of four people's family banquet, but there are five seats.

"Lord Wang, this person."

Looking at the empty seat, Wei Changtian whispered to Wang Qixing.

"Oh, this seat is reserved for Shen Shulin, Mr. Shen."

Wang Qixing replied with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"So it is."

Wei Changtian nodded, and didn't ask any more questions like "Aren't you waiting for him?", just remembered the name "Shen Shulin", and then frowned and glanced at Li Wutong.

Her long, smooth hair was tied up in a princess bun, on which was a beaded flower hairpin with tassels hanging from it.

Li Wutong, who changed his battle armor and put on a brocade skirt, is more feminine than before, but the heroic spirit is still there, except for the eyes that look at him with a hint of provocation.

The two looked at each other and then looked away. After Wang Qixing and Liu Shi were polite, everyone immediately raised their chopsticks to eat.

"Your Highness, the villain dares to offer you a toast, and may your face stay forever."

"Young Master Wei, it would be nice for you and me to have a drink together."

"Ma'am, do you still remember the last time we had the honor to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"."

Push the cup to change the cup, and the gong and chips are staggered.

Exquisite dishes were served one after another, and the atmosphere during the banquet was barely harmonious.

Wei Changtian drank and ate, and from time to time greeted Wang Qixing, half an hour passed quickly.

Because it is a family banquet, the meal is coming to an end here.

But at this moment, a servant came in through the door, and whispered a few words in Wang Qixing's ear.

"Princess, Mr. Shen has arrived."

The latter immediately raised his head and asked for instructions: "Look."

"Ah."

Li Wutong calmly picked up an embroidered handkerchief and wiped his mouth: "Let him come in and take a seat."

"Yes."

Wang Qixing nodded and explained, and soon the servant brought in a young man in a green shirt.

The skin is very fair, the facial features can be called handsome, the bun on the top of the head is combed meticulously, very typical scholar appearance.

Wei Changtian's first impression of Shen Shulin was pretty good, he looked like the kind of person who came from a family of civil servants.

just
"His Royal Highness, Princess!"

The eager shouts were full of excitement, as soon as Shen Shulin entered the room, he only saw Li Wutong in his eyes, and his face was even slightly reddened due to nervousness.

Well, after a long time of trouble, it turned out to be a licking dog.

Wei Changtian shook his head and put down his chopsticks, while Li Wutong looked at Shen Shulin with a smile, and said softly:

"Mr. Shen, have you had dinner yet?"

"Back, back to the princess, no."

"Then sit down and eat whatever you want, and we'll talk while we eat."

"Yes Yes!"

Not caring that there were only leftovers left on the table, Shen Shulin immediately sat down in the seat reserved for him, and only then remembered to greet others.

"Wang Da, madam."

"Uh, this young man is"

"This is Wei Changtian, Mr. Wei."

Li Wutong smiled and answered before Wei Changtian: "My palace has something to ask Mr. Wei, so I will go back to Beijing together."

"Wei Changtian?"

Shen Shulin couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the name.

He bowed his hands to Wei Changtian with some admiration, and then said very sincerely:

"I've heard the name of Mr. Wei's poem for a long time, and it's my luck to see the truth today."

"On the second day of February at the Spring Dragon Poetry Meeting, Young Master Wei recited a poem "Chunjiang Flowers and Moonlight Night, Crossing the True Dragon". Xiaosheng really admires it."

Judging from his tone and demeanor, Shen Shulin's praise did not seem to be fake, he definitely really admired Wei Changtian.

And Wei Changtian also responded politely:

"Mr. Shen is too polite, Wei doesn't dare to be that."

"Young Master Wei, don't say that."

"."

The two began to flatter each other, but Li Wutong next to him couldn't sit still at the moment.

She rolled her eyes, and suddenly stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish and put it in Wei Changtian's porcelain bowl, and said "gently" in her mouth:

"Young Master Wei, try this fish, it tastes very good."

"."

A movement, a word, the dining room was instantly silent.

Using one's own chopsticks to pick up food for the opposite sex is an extremely ambiguous behavior in feudal society if it does not happen between elders and juniors.

What's more, the person who serves food is expensive as a princess.

Wang Qixing and his wife Liu immediately turned their heads and pretended not to see them, while Wei Changtian frowned slightly.

As for Shen Shulin.
His face suddenly turned pale, his mouth opened and closed several times but he couldn't say a word, and his eyes towards Wei Changtian were no longer friendly.

At this moment, Wei Changtian finally understood why Li Wutong called Shen Shulin over.

"Thank you princess for your kindness"

Squinting his eyes at Li Wutong who was smiling but not smiling, Wei Changtian slowly pushed the porcelain bowl away.

"But I'm full."
