Guagua, use your brain! A woman of destiny, and the second senior brother of the Divine Healer Valley in charge of the valley's affairs—with just those titles, it's hard not to make money!
Host, your analysis is incredibly accurate! It's absolutely true! Zhou Hanchuan's treatment of high-ranking officials is worth a fortune!
Just look at this! The confiscation of a thousand taels of gold from the Second Prince Yan Yunxuan is practically the cost of one of Zhou Hanchuan's medical consultations. Zhou Hanchuan is a staunch supporter of Shen Jiaojiao. All the money went into Shen Jiaojiao's pocket, and in the end, it all ended up in the Second Prince's pocket!
All the officials: Good, good, so this is how you play it?
So, we eat grains and all that food, and getting sick is considered a contribution to you?!
Prince An: Oh my god, luckily, I was quick-witted.
A couple of days ago, I went hiking with Dr. Bai, Shen Qinglan's fiancée, and took the opportunity to have her take my pulse for free.
Hehe~~~
I've preserved my gold !!!
Shen Changyuan stared wide-eyed at Prince An and said, "Give me the money!"
Prince An: Give a gift! Give a gift!!!
Hahaha~~~
He was still overjoyed; this feeling was different!
At this moment, the system's voice came again.
Host, don't envy them. Our grain shop, bookstore, and tea shop are doing quite well. In addition, the hot spring estate and the hills outside the capital have all been planted with sweet potatoes, cabbages, radishes, and other crops according to your plan. I believe we'll have a harvest soon.
That's good, that's good!
I finally feel much better.
Yes, host, especially your bookstore. Because you won the poetry contest against Scholar Xiao and Young Master Wang, all the students coming to the capital for the imperial examinations will go there to buy books...
Really? I didn't expect the effect of the poetry contest to last so long.
Host, what do you think! The students' respect for you will never change. They originally wanted to pay their respects to you, but His Highness the Crown Prince turned them away. After you became the proctor for this imperial examination, everyone quieted down.
The Crown Prince did this, too?
Crown Prince Yan Beichen coughed twice, looking quite embarrassed.
This Guagua is really something. It's a huge sieve, and it leaks everything!
He did it so that Mingzhu wouldn't have to work so hard. Besides, with so many students, wouldn't it be better for them to stay in the inn or their rented courtyard and study properly?
What's with the "paying respects"?!
Shen Mingzhu glanced at Crown Prince Yan Beichen, unable to believe that her brother, the Crown Prince, would act this way...
Host, the Crown Prince values and cares about you a lot. He handles your affairs meticulously and is very considerate.
Oh, my Crown Prince brother is so nice~~~
"Absolutely! Host, you're so beautiful and charming, like a celestial being descended to earth. If you were to become his crown princess, he'd have to keep a close eye on you!"
Guagua, look at you. You're making me a little embarrassed.
Host, don't be embarrassed. This is just how you are.
Guagua, you're great, too. You're number one in the world!
All the officials: Excellent! Excellent!
You two are praising each other first thing in the morning!
All the officials and civil and military officials sighed in unison.
Okay, okay, whatever makes you happy. Don't worry about whether we live or die.
Shen Changyuan: My precious daughter is the best. She doesn't have to do anything, yet she does everything.
Daddy's precious daughter, when are you going to drop some gold coins?
The national treasury is empty.
Host, host, I have something interesting to tell you.
Tell me about something interesting.
Prince An: Let me take a look.
Crown Prince Yan Beichen smiled helplessly. It's starting again.
Host, Princess Chang Le is pregnant!
Guagua, this is good news!
Host, Princess Chang Le doesn't know who the father of her unborn child is?
Um...Guagua, that's hard to say, but one thing is certain: the child's mother is Princess Chang Le, and the child has the blood of the Great Yan royal family.
Prince An: There's absolutely no need for that!
Now he feels that Chang Le is a disgrace, a disgrace to the royal family.
How could this be?
General Tian Xuezhou: My distant nephew has been completely ruined.
Why...
What a pity.
Such a promising talent, ruined entirely because of Princess Chang Le.
Emperor Jingyuan: This bastard!!!
Host, Tian Dachui is currently demanding that Princess Chang Le abort the child. Princess Chang Le is unwilling, saying she hasn't decided whether to keep the child yet. Tian Dachui is insisting that the child be aborted today, and now he's fighting with Princess Chang Le's guards!
The officials looked at the head of the court; they knew nothing.
Some people think Tian Dachui did the right thing. That's what a man should be like; others think he was too impulsive!
He should speak to Princess Chang Le slowly, or perhaps gradually.
After such a commotion, the two of them will definitely not be able to continue living together. However, this marriage was personally bestowed by His Majesty, so there is no way they can get a divorce. The two of them will be bound together for life unless Emperor Jingyuan personally grants them a divorce.
But the chances are slim.
Guagua, Tian Dachui is indeed brave; he's taking on the royal princess without hesitation and just does whatever he wants.
Host, Tian Dachui regrets it now! He thought he and Princess Chang Le had a harmonious relationship, but he didn't expect Princess Chang Le to have harmonious relationships with others as well. He's filled with regret now! He wanted a normal married life, but his life ended up in chaos!
What a cruel twist of fate! From the very beginning, when Princess Chang Le was involved with him, Zhao Feiyu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, and Xu Kaiming, the son of the Salt Commissioner of Jiangnan, he should have known what kind of life he would lead if he married the princess.
But he accepted it anyway!
Host, this is a marriage decree. How can you refuse! To defy the imperial decree?
Shen Mingzhu glanced at the imposing Emperor Jingyuan at the head of the table and chuckled.
Yes, no one can disobey the imperial decree, but if a son is not properly taught, it is the father's fault. His Majesty cannot continue to tolerate Princess Chang Le's behaviour! She has caused so much trouble already!
Upon hearing this, Su Qingshan, the Minister of Rites, immediately changed his expression.
He glanced at Emperor Jingyuan at the head of the table, fearing that Emperor Jingyuan would directly point to Princess Changle.
Sigh... It seems that Chang Le ultimately ignored my previous words.
Why...
What should he do?
What can save you, my nine generations of ancestors?!
Su Qingshan now feels that his entire Su family is doomed, and he doesn't know when they will be wiped out.
Emperor Jingyuan observed the expressions on the faces of his ministers and secretly pondered how to deal with Princess Changle.
You will always have some affection for your own child.
Although not as good as like the Crown Prince, he was still affectionate.
After all, he watched them grow from tiny little ones into adults and then get married...
He also slowly started to grow some grey hairs...
Shen Changyuan listened to Shen Mingzhu's thoughts and remained silent with his head down.
This matter is up to His Majesty.
This matter is neither a big deal nor a small one; it depends on how His Majesty intends to handle it.
Guagua, do you think His Majesty will punish Princess Chang Le?
Host, of course! Emperor Jingyuan is first and foremost an emperor, and only secondly, a father. He can not act arbitrarily simply because she is of imperial blood.
Guagua, let's hope so. It's just a pity about Tian Dachui.
Oh dear, host, Tian Dachui defeated Princess Chang Le's guards, and then Qin Zhao, the commander of the Imperial Guards, arrived and subdued him!
