Shen Mingzhu looked at the commotion at the exit, shook her head, and continued playing.
"Twenty points, this young master wins!"
With a smile on her face, Shen Mingzhu played blackjack again and finally put the banknotes into her pocket.
Host, get ready! The Imperial Guards will arrive in three seconds!
Wuhu, Guagua, i am ready!
After saying that, Shen Mingzhu went straight to the exit behind the gambling den, ready to leave at any moment.
The two spoiled young masters who hadn't left looked at Su Huaiyuan and followed behind with their heads hanging low.
As for the spoiled young master who was being held down, he stared wide-eyed at everything in front of him in disbelief.
Let me go!
He wants to go home.
"Imperial Guards are on duty! Everyone, lie down!!!"
Shen Mingzhu seized the opportunity, kicked the doorman, and ran away in a flash.
Qin Zhao watched Yan Yunci's retreating figure, pretending not to have seen anything!
The spoiled young master who was being held down could only watch helplessly as his two friends ran away with Shen Mingzhu and the other three!
The remaining people tried to run away but were immediately pinned down by the Imperial Guards and forced to the ground, unable to move.
Holy crap, Guagua, we made it out! That was close!
Shen Mingzhu ran out of Qingyun Gambling House, looked at the Qingyang Teahouse, which had been shut down, and said breathlessly,
"Luckily, I ran fast."
Looking up, she saw Crown Prince Yan Beichen staring at her with a half-smile.
"Brother Crown Prince, you've come!"
"Hehe, let me treat you to tea~"
"My tea shop, Shuiyunjian, has just acquired some fine tea. Shall I go and have a taste?"
Seeing this, Su Huaiyuan quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Young Miss Shen, why don't you go have some tea with the Crown Prince? We'll get back to work."
After saying that, he took Yan Yunci and ran away with Meng Chao.
Yes, you read that right. They ran away.
Su Huaiyuan: If we don't run now, when will we?
Yan Yunci: As long as I run fast enough, you won't be able to see me.
Meng Chao: I'm just a bystander...
Soon, Shen Mingzhu and Yan Beichen went to a private room at the Shuiyun Teahouse.
The shopkeeper greeted the owner, Shen Mingzhu, warmly.
As the aroma of Da Hong Pao tea filled the entire private room, Crown Prince Yan Beichen let out a helpless sigh.
"You were too impulsive today. Gambling dens are dangerous places and not suitable for you."
Shen Mingzhu's lips curved slightly upward as she smiled and said,
"I understand. I'm sorry to have worried you, Crown Prince."
Crown Prince Yan Beichen was about to speak again when the system's voice suddenly rang in his ears.
Host, the Crown Prince is definitely jealous. You brought Su Huaiyuan, Yan Yunci, and Meng Chao out to play, but not him!
Guagua, I don't think that's the case. Prince is probably just too worried about me. After all, gambling dens are shady places, and it's easy to go astray there.
The host is so good. How could she possibly go astray! The Crown Prince just wants to be with you every day; otherwise, Emperor Jingyuan wouldn't have allowed you to get married next spring. That is an auspicious day secretly chosen by the Imperial Observatory—he's really eager!
Guagua, you really know everything.
That's right, it's me, Guagua, I'm just that amazing.
Shen Mingzhu's eyes darted around for a moment, and a blush unconsciously swept across her cheek. This small gesture made the dark eyes of Crown Prince Yan Beichen churn.
His little crown princess is so beautiful, so gorgeous. She must be very sweet.
"From now on, you're not allowed to act on your own. If anything happens, you must have me with you, understand?"
"I promise!."
Shen Mingzhu smiled and agreed.
While Yan Beichen and Shen Mingzhu were enjoying a peaceful life, the Hanlin Academy was in an uproar.
"My God, so much silver."
"I've never seen so much silver in my entire life."
"If you follow Lord Shen, even a fool can get rich."
Looking at the greedy eyes of everyone, Su Huaiyuan wondered if these were still the Hanlin scholars who were known for their refined and noble character.
"Cough cough, cough cough~~~"
"You all need to finish your work quickly and distribute the banknotes proportionally. You can't be careless with your work, understand?"
"Okay."
At this moment, the colleagues in the Hanlin Academy were united as never before.
Meng Chao took out a small notebook and distributed the money to everyone according to the agreed-upon ratio.
Of course, he also received a considerable "income" and was very happy.
To be precise, the entire Hanlin Academy was filled with joy.
Su Huaiyuan glanced outside, then remained in his office.
It seems unlikely that Lord Shen will return to the Hanlin Academy today.
He tidied up his desk briefly and then went to rest.
Stealing half a day of leisure from a busy life.
Of all the members of the Hanlin Academy, the only one who was unhappy was Prince An.
He stayed in the palace for a while and didn't return to the Hanlin Academy on time, thus missing the chance to make money at the gambling den.
He was very unhappy when he saw the little money his new son, Yan Yunci, was making.
Despite his displeasure, he went straight to the prison to see how Minister of War Zhou Wenwu managed to get his son out of jail.
That's right, the wealthy young man being held down is Zhou Mingxuan, the youngest son of the Minister of War.
Shen Mingzhu and the others thought the person looked familiar, but they didn't recognize him at all!
This is Crown Prince Yan Beichen's cousin!
Upon closer examination, this man is also Shen Mingzhu's cousin.
He shook his head, recalling how his eyes were bloodshot when the people at the gambling den held him down.
He estimates that we won't see him in Beijing for at least six months!
In the evening, Yan Beichen accompanied Shen Mingzhu back to her residence, where they happened to run into Sui Feng, a guard from the Crown Prince's residence, who came to the Marquis's residence to deliver gold and silver jewelry to Shen Mingzhu.
Looking at the ten boxes in the yard, Shen Mingzhu was overjoyed.
Guagua, did you see that? More money is coming in!
Host, I see! Who knew that the Crown Prince would be so shrewd?
Host, well done! You easily controlled the Crown Prince, fantastic!
Crown Prince Yan Beichen: My Crown Prince's residence is not short of money; I only bought it because Sister Mingzhu likes it.
Ten boxes of gold and silver jewellery, symbolizing perfection, what does that idiot know?
He stood beside Shen Mingzhu, wanting to hear what she had to say.
Guagua, your host is beautiful and kind-hearted. That handsome young prince is a piece of cake for me. This is nothing; the entire prince's residence will be ours in the future.
When Shen Changyuan heard that Crown Prince Yan Beichen had arrived at the mansion, he came to greet him with his sons. However, as soon as he arrived, he heard his beloved daughter say that the entire Crown Prince's mansion belonged to her.
Looking at the upright Crown Prince Yan Beichen, a cool autumn breeze blew by, and Shen Changyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Your Highness..."
Shen Mingzhu glanced at him and said with a smile.
"Brother Crown Prince, I also have something to give you. Wait a moment, and I'll go get it for you."
"Okay, Mingzhu."....
