After saying that, she called over the manager of Tianxianglou and handed him four stinky pills, which he dissolved in wine for them to use.
Upon seeing Shen Mingzhu and Crown Prince Yan Beichen, the shopkeeper lowered his head and went to carry out his duties.
He didn't waste any words at all.
Guagua, the manager of Tianxiang Restaurant, is so kind! I was even thinking of making up a reason for him!
Host, what are you thinking! This is Prince An's property. Your meals here are free. The manager and the staff all know you and the Crown Prince. What else needs to be explained?
Your face speaks for itself.
Haha, Guagua, I love what you said! Our faces are the best explanation. I love using my looks to get free meals.
Crown Prince Yan Beichen rubbed his fingers together, and hearing Shen Mingzhu's obviously joyful voice, his mood improved considerably.
Otherwise, he would have privately taught those spoiled brats a lesson on how to behave!
Just when he thought the meal would be peaceful, a pig-like scream suddenly came from the next private room.
"I'll teach you to talk nonsense!"
"I'll teach you to spew filth from your mouth!"
"I'm going to beat you so badly. You'll be crawling on the floor today!"
...
Wow! Host Shi Wenfei fiercely protects his sister, acting out of a fit of rage for her sake! Who would have thought that Shi Wenfei was having dinner with his classmates in the next private room, right next to those four spoiled brats!
What a perfect opportunity!
Guagua, man proposes, God disposes. They've suffered a bloody disaster today; sure enough, they're covered in blood, a truly gruesome sight.
A drunken playboy is simply incomparable to a sober man.
Shi Wenfei was putting up a very strong fight against them.
This group of good-for-nothing spoiled brats not only ruined his father's reputation but also his sister's. Isn't this just asking them to die?
Besides, his younger sister is already engaged to the young general of the Xie family!
She's getting married into the Xie family in just over a month!!!
What did he mean by saying that at this time?
He's very angry that he wishes to kill several people.
"Shi Wenfei, you mad dog, what's wrong with you? Don't think others don't know about your dirty secrets."
Upon hearing this, Shi Wenfei's eyes darkened, and he rushed forward to continue fighting with the man.
The adjacent private room immediately erupted into chaos. When Crown Prince Yan Beichen and Shen Mingzhu appeared, everyone was stunned.
"Stop!"
Everyone immediately bowed in unison.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Crown princess Shen!"
Yan Beichen waved his hand.
"What kind of behaviour is this, making such a racket!"
At this moment, the four young masters, including Gongsun Gongzi, immediately sobered up. They looked at Shen Mingzhu and realized that the youngest daughter of the Shi family was about to marry her maternal grandparents' youngest cousin. They all lowered their heads guiltily.
Guagua, why are they all looking down?
Host, because they are so ashamed! Look at their bruised and swollen faces. They are too embarrassed to show their faces.
It seems they've done quite a few bad things.
Host, they are all spoiled brats, indulging in all sorts of pleasures, but they have one fatal flaw: they smoke opium!
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingzhu immediately moved even closer to Crown Prince Yan Beichen.
Guagua, those four are finished, beyond saving! They're addicted to drugs, they'll never be able to quit, they can only wait to die!
With these thoughts echoing Shen Mingzhu's own, she now looked at them as if they were useless people.
Crown Prince Yan Beichen was very shocked. He knew a lot about the drug, but he didn't realize it was so harmful.
He recalled that the Imperial Medical Academy used it as an analgesic.
After returning, he needs to go to the Imperial Hospital...
"Your Highness, you must do us justice!"
Shi Wenfei quickly knelt down in front of Yan Beichen and recounted the crimes of the group with embellishments.
Before the others could argue, Yan Beichen spoke up.
"Sui Feng, send them all to the yamen. They caused trouble at Tianxiang Tower. Give them a good talking to."
"Okay."
Sui Feng appeared expressionless and immediately ordered his men to escort the four people away.
Tianxianglou was immediately restored to normal.
The annoying flies are finally gone!
Host, they are indeed annoying, but this time they're going to suffer because of the Crown Prince.
They deserved it!
Although their lunch wasn't perfect, it was ultimately a joyful one.
After lunch, Crown Prince Yan Beichen escorted Shen Mingzhu back to the Hanlin Academy for her shift while he himself went directly back to the palace.
As soon as she entered the Hanlin Academy, everyone stared at her.
Shen Mingzhu was somewhat puzzled.
Guagua, is there any vegetable leaf on my teeth?
Host, what are you saying? You're a young lady, the Crown Princess, the future Empress. How could you possibly have food stuck in your teeth?
Why are they staring at me like that?
Colleagues in the Hanlin Academy: Shen Mingzhu, we just miss you so much!
You've finally come to the Hanlin Academy for your shift!
We miss you so much!
Shen Mingzhu: ...
Su Huaiyuan: Haha, Lord Shen has finally come to the Hanlin Academy.
It feels like Lord Shen hasn't been on duty at the Hanlin Academy for ages!
Seeing Master Shen now feels so familiar!
Grand Secretary Su Huaiyuan gave them a single glance.
"What are you all looking at? Learn from Lord Shen! Lord Shen is a minister who is wholeheartedly devoted to the people and the court, making contributions without seeking anything in return. There aren't many like her!"
"So, everyone study hard and don't be lazy!"
Upon hearing this, everyone busied themselves with their tasks.
At this moment, Shen Mingzhu, who was lying down in her office preparing for a lunch break, blushed with embarrassment.
Am I really that good?
Guagua, listen! Scholar Su is praising me!
Host, yes!
Guagua, is he talking about me? Something doesn't feel right! I don't think it's me!
Host, during your time in office, you've contributed sweet potatoes, potatoes, cotton, heated brick beds and walls... and even taught everyone how to keep warm. These actions speak for themselves. Rest assured, you're more capable than you think!!!
Grand Secretary Su Huaiyuan's lips twitched. "Very well, very well!"
Guagua, you're right!
Both are correct!
Young Miss Shen's contributions are immeasurable...
Guagua, am I really that good?
Host, remove the question mark, believe in yourself, you are just that amazing!!!
Hahaha~~~ That's great!
After saying that, she closed her eyes, intending to contribute her strength to the Great Yan after her afternoon nap.
Who told her to be a good subject of the Great Yan!
Hearing Shen Mingzhu's thoughts, Su Huaiyuan smiled slightly and continued working.
...
Half a month later, Xie Yuze, the eldest brother of the Xie family, returned to the capital with his youngest son, Xie Hao. Early in the morning, Xie Qinghuan, along with her four sons and one daughter, waited at the city gate.
Looking at the vast and impressive procession, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"Big brother, Hao-ge'er~"
"Little sister!"
Xie Yuze looked at the group and said with a smile,
"This is Mingzhu. Not bad, not bad. She is a descendant of the Xie family. She is a good child at first glance."
"Big Uncle~~~"
"Cousin Hao."
Shen Mingzhu politely stepped forward to greet her.
"Auntie, eldest cousin, second cousin, third cousin, fourth cousin, little sister Mingzhu~~~"
Wow! Guagua, did you hear that? Cousin Hao's preferential treatment is so obvious!
Big cousin, second cousin, third cousin, fourth cousin! Hahaha~~~ Let's make the eldest and fourth cousins look like monsters!!!
Who is speaking?
Xie Yuze looked around warily.
