Tian Xuezhou: Forget it.
I'm afraid you'll tell your brother!
Prince An: Hmph!
Princess Chang Le felt like a monkey on display, which made Tian Da Chui's words sound like a joke.
"Lord Tian, from this day forward, you shall be Prince Consort Tian and reside in the Princess's estate. Simply fulfil your duties as a good prince consort."
"Alright, let's go back to the princess's residence to receive the imperial decree."
Seeing her displeasure, Tian Dachui fell silent.
It seems some things can only be said in private.
Guagua, Princess Chang Le and Prince Consort Tian are gone just like that?
Host, right?
At this moment, Princess Qingyang spoke with a smile.
"Chang Le, your newly appointed consort is quite good, very humorous. You should go out and have some fun together sometime."
After saying that, she smiled and looked at her with a beaming smile.
"Okay."
Yan Changle said with a smile.
Shen Qingbo only ran over after watching Yan Changle's carriage drive away.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness Prince An, my little sister, General Tian..."
A group of scholars bowed to the crowd.
Shen Qingbo's friends were overjoyed to finally see their idol.
"Young Miss Shen, we've been admiring your poetry lately; it's truly remarkable."
"Young Miss Shen, you're truly amazing."
Shen Mingzhu was very happy to be praised so suddenly, but at the same time, she felt a little guilty.
After all, these are timeless quotes from our predecessors.
Learn from this!
We are all Chinese, and knowledge can be shared across dynasties. I hope you can understand.
Soon, several scholars invited Shen Mingzhu to go boating on the lake.
Shen Mingzhu glanced at Yan Beichen beside her.
Want to come together?
Yan Beichen smiled.
"Yes!"
Soon, the largest and most luxurious pleasure boat in the area docked in front of them. Shen Mingzhu, Crown Prince Yan Beichen, Prince An, General Tian, Grand Scholar Su, and several other high-ranking officials boarded the boat.
The rest were loaded onto another pleasure boat.
The entire court: Sigh...
Nowadays, everything is based on seniority.
If you don't work hard, you won't even be able to be at the front of the table as a spectator.
Shen Mingzhu took a sip of tea and looked at the students opposite her, their eyes burning with intense gazes. She felt a little embarrassed by their intense gazes.
Seeing the admiring and ardent gazes of the group, Crown Prince Yan Beichen suddenly regretted agreeing to come to the pleasure boat for a visit.
Wouldn't it be better to travel with his little crown princess?
Damn...
What a blunder! What a blunder!
"Young Master, won't you introduce your classmates and friends to us?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingbo immediately smiled and said.
"Your Highness, this is Zhang Weifeng, the eldest son of the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices; this is Shi Wenfei, the son of the Dean of Bailu Academy; and this last one is Zhou Jie, the son of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice."
After the three young masters greeted Crown Prince Yan Beichen, Prince An, and others, the atmosphere among them eased considerably, and they began to exchange simple greetings.
To be honest, it was their first time facing so many important figures, including the Crown Prince, Prince An, General Tian, and Grand Scholar Su, so they were quite nervous.
Shi Wenfei, in particular, even stuttered a bit when he spoke.
Shen Mingzhu smiled, pursing her lips.
Guagua, look how nervous this young master Shi is. He seems a bit dramatic.
Host, this Young Master Shi you mentioned is not only dramatic himself, but his family is just as dramatic!
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingzhu immediately perked up, and the others followed suit.
Another pleasure boat closely followed Shen Mingzhu and her companions, afraid of losing them and missing out on useful information.
It has to be said that these adults are really going all out for the sake of gossip!
Guagua, tell me quickly.
Host, despite Dean Shi's high moral standing and great prestige, as the head of the institute, he actually has many unspeakable grievances.
Guagua, tell me quickly, how bitter is it?
Prince An: Yes, tell me quickly, so I can be happy!
Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll help him solve it!
After all, they respected the dean of Bailu Academy.
Host, Dean Shi has four children, making a perfect family. To outsiders, he has both a son and a daughter—his daughters are beautiful and charming, and his sons are knowledgeable and dashing. But in reality… sigh…
Hey, Guagua, why aren't you saying anything?! Hurry up and say something!!!
Prince An was also anxious, urging him to speak quickly, as he was keeping everyone in suspense.
He picked up the teacup in front of him and drank a cup of tea directly.
General Tian's temper has improved a lot these past few days as he's been following Shen Mingzhu around, enjoying the gossip. He finds this whole affair incredibly amusing, always keeping people in suspense, and in the end...
They will definitely tell you everything.
So he's not in a hurry. He'll take it slow!
Listening to gossip from Guagua is like training a hawk—it takes time.
He is not in a hurry! ! !
Crown Prince Yan Beichen looked at Shen Mingzhu and moved a plate of red bean cakes closer to her.
Seeing this, Shen Mingzhu took a piece and started eating it.
Seeing this, Crown Prince Yan Beichen laughed even more heartily!
Host, please let me explain slowly!
Okay, explain!
Shen Mingzhu is decisive and efficient, so she asked the system to just spill the melons and not keep her in suspense!
Host, Dean Shi dedicated his life to teaching and nurturing students. He and his wife are loving and devoted couple, and their four children are all handsome and beautiful. However, none of his four children followed the conventional path.
Oh, tell me, how rebellious are his children?
Host, the eldest son of the Shi family, Shi Wenfei, who is standing in front of you, has brought back a male wife to Dean Shi!
Male wife?!
Everyone was stunned!
Is that what it meant?
Guagua: Yes, that's exactly what I mean.
Ahhh, Guagua, who's this Young Master Shi's girlfriend? Is my fourth brother his type? I see they get along really well!
Guagua, I don't want a male sister-in-law!
Shen Qingbo: What nonsense are you talking about!
I'm perfectly normal, a real man!
A real man!!!
It's the real deal!!!
After hearing Shen Mingzhu's thoughts, Shen Qingbo unconsciously distanced himself from Shi Wenfei.
My God, a homosexual is right next to me.
Shen Qingbo is utterly speechless!!!
The Crown Prince, Prince An, and the others stared in disbelief at Young Master Shi. No wonder Dean Shi was acting so dramatic; anyone would be!
Tian Xuezhou suddenly realized that his children were really great!
At least it didn't make him...
The scene is so, I can't even imagine it!
Guagua, what about the others? Are they all acting this dramatic, too?
Hehe~~~ The eldest daughter of the Shi family is already of marriageable age, but the men her family has arranged for her to marry, she has refused or rejected them all and even tried to sabotage the process. She is still unmarried and is said to be staying at home to take care of her parents. This has really worried, Dean Shi!
Guagua, isn't arranged marriage the norm these days? Why is this young lady so unconventional?
Host, Miss Shi once saved the Empress Dowager's life. She didn't ask for any reward in terms of money or power but instead requested an imperial decree granting her the freedom to marry. Therefore, no one can force her to marry!
Wow, that's impressive! This young lady is both beautiful and cool, taking charge of her own marriage – well done!!!
Prince An: I still remember this matter. Miss Shi was indeed a good person. The Empress Dowager was grateful for saving her life and truly gave her a favour.
I never expected it to end like this!
