My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

"absurd!"

Wangfu.

Back garden, Qingyaxuan.

The Princess of Zhenxi flew into a rage when she saw the bet that the chief steward Zhou Quan handed to her!

Her mood suddenly became not so good.

There are two noble ladies in Qingyaxuan. One is Zhang Linglong, the wife of the city guard Ge Gang, and the other, who is younger, is Jiang Wenyao, the owner of Chang's Bookstore.

Jiang Wenyao brought a collection of poems that was about to be published by Chang's Bookstore.

It was written by famous talents from the Jinghua Academy in Kyoto, and the preface was written by the great scholar Fang himself.

They were originally drinking tea and appreciating poetry, lamenting that the talented people who had emerged in Kyoto in recent years were truly talented.

But now, they have put down the poetry collection, feeling shocked!

Zhang Linglong and Jiang Wenyao looked at each other, unable to believe that Jubao Bank would offer such a ridiculous bet.

Is there something wrong with Manager Qian's brain?

Does he think that Jubao Money House has too much silver?

How come Bai Shaoqiu's name appears in this gambling game?

How could Bai Shaoqiu's name appear?!

After all, he is the son-in-law of the royal family!

This simply doesn't give the royal palace any face... Where does Manager Qian get the courage to do this?

Ten to one... If Bai Shaoqiu loses his bet of ten thousand taels of silver, Jubao Money House will have to pay him a thousand taels!

This deal,

The two of them were eager to make a move, and their eyes gradually became hot.

Zhou Quan bowed his head and whispered:

"Madam, calm down!"

"There's something fishy about this,"

"Maybe someone did it on purpose..."

"When my uncle wasn't yet a uncle, he went to see the Zhuxi Literary Gathering. He never participated in it, he just watched for fun."

"Even if my son-in-law really wants to participate... he probably won't even be able to get through Zhuxi, so he's bound to lose."

"But Jubao Bank has set such a bet..."

"Manager Qian is such a shrewd man, and he's offering a sure-win bet. I wonder if he knows that my son-in-law has been reading in the library of Shangling Academy for the past three days?"

"Just today, I heard that my son-in-law won two thousand taels of silver from Mr. Song Zigui in a couplet competition at the academy... Madam, could it be that the shopkeeper Qian saw through my son-in-law's hidden extraordinary qualities?"

The princess took a deep breath, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she said coldly:

"Do you still want to flatter him?"

"Don't you know what kind of person he is?"

"Humph!"

"He's hiding something extraordinary... If he really had that ability, why would he have squandered the Bai family's vast fortune and become the biggest joke in Xiling City?"

"Three days of reading in the library... Do you think his three days of study can equal ten years of study for others?"

Zhou Quan bowed with a sad look on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

The princess took a sip of tea from the cup, pondered for a few breaths, looked at the two women beside her, and smiled:

"My family is in misfortune, but I have made you laugh at me."

Zhang Linglong quickly waved her hands. "Madam, this... this matter is indeed a bit sudden, but Madam, please relax. After all, my son-in-law has been in the library for the past three days."

"Under Madam's guidance, he has changed significantly compared to before."

“It will get better over time.”

This is a very euphemistic statement, but it is the truth.

Because Bai Shaoqiu couldn't be worse in the princess' heart!

This shameful thing!

He will be back today, so don't let him go out from now on.

Zhang Linglong looked at the princess's expression and whispered:

"How about this, I'll go back to the City Guard House and ask my man to go to Jubao Money House to meet the manager Qian Da."

"We've held the Zhuxi Literary Festival in Xiling City over ten times, but no one has ever offered a bet on it... How shameful!"

"Let's order Manager Qian to cancel this gambling. What do you think, Madam?"

The princess pondered for three breaths and nodded:

"Then let's call it a day. I'm a little tired, so I won't keep you here any longer."

The two of them stood up and left.

The princess then stood up and looked at the lotus pond outside Qingyaxuan with a worried look on her face.

How could this be so simple?

Manager Qian Sheng has always been cautious and low-key in his life. How could he not have thought about the drawbacks of doing this?

In this small piece of land of Xiling City, no one dared to offend the royal palace, but Manager Qian did just that!

He will have to pay a large amount of silver for this!

The consequence is that Bai Shaoqiu becomes even more famous!

This greatness is not his talent.

But it's his reputation as a waste!

Spending a large sum of money to slap the face of the palace...

Even if you lend him money, he wouldn't dare to do it even if you have a hundred courages!

Jubao Money House became the largest money house in Xingguo, but few people knew the real owner behind it.

It just so happened that the palace knew it very well.

——Its real boss is the legendary princess Tang Qianyi of Xingguo who is nearly forty years old!

However, the eldest princess has been living in seclusion for many years, and has not even cared about state affairs. I think she doesn't care about the affairs of the western border.

But the Emperor cares!

Previously, there was an imperial decree granting him a son-in-law, and now Jubao Bank is opening this gambling game...

The emperor uses the waste Bai Shaoqiu as a chess piece, and he wants to take over the army of the Prince of Zhenxi's Mansion!

The princess was worried and ordered:

"When he comes back, have him go to the martial arts arena to see this lady!"

Zhou Quan smiled secretly in his heart and bowed: "As you command!"

The princess moved to the martial arts training ground behind the palace.

She needs to have a good talk with the prince.

That waste is like a thorn in the flesh, it's not a big deal after all.

Should we be bold enough to pull it out?

……

……

Shangling Academy, library.

On the sixth floor.

Bai Shaoqiu looked at Tang Xianxian: "I'm leaving."

Tang Xianxian was stunned. She looked towards the window frame and found that the sky outside was filled with sunset glow.

Time has passed so quickly today!

"I send you!"

"...No need. Qing'er asked the driver to wait for me at the entrance of the academy."

"Then I'll take you to the entrance of the academy."

"Alright."

Bai Shaoqiu carried his bag and walked down and out of the library.

The sun has not yet set.

The school is not over yet.

There was silence and peace.

"Suddenly I remembered I haven't asked the girl's name yet."

Tang Xianxian pondered for three breaths and said, "Just call me Xianxian."

Bai Shaoqiu thought it was a fairy.

This girl is indeed quite fairy-like.

"Well... are you here to visit relatives, young lady?"

"Yeah, I mainly came to the Zhuxi Literary Association to join in the fun."

Bai Shaoqiu walked slowly and said with a smile, "Could it be that you want to choose a young man of your choice at the literary gathering?"

Tang Xianxian's face, hidden under the veil, blushed slightly: "That's not the case."

She changed the subject:

"By the way, you promised to show me the Story of the Stone once it's finished."

"But young lady, aren't you leaving after the Zhuxi Literary Festival?"

"Send it to me! I'll give you an address after the literary conference."

"Ok."

Threesome.

No one is anyone's teacher.

An walked at the end. She looked at the Ninth Princess's back from time to time and became more and more worried.

Just walking in silence.

Tang Xianxian suddenly felt that this distance was a bit short.

Suddenly I felt that there were still many things I hadn't said to Bai Shaoqiu.

She lowered her head slightly, but didn't know where to start.

The evening breeze is blowing gently.

Her hair was in the wind.

A few strands of it floated onto Bai Shaoqiu's face.

Somewhat itchy.

Bai Shaoqiu suddenly felt a very absurd feeling in his heart -

This girl named Xianxian made him feel very comfortable!

He had never really been in love in his previous life.

He only knew that having a woman who made him feel comfortable around him would calm his heart.

The scientific explanation is that the magnetic fields of two people are similar, and there is no repulsion or conflict.

Then this girl would be the best to be my wife.

But obviously not.

After all, we have only been together for a short time and don’t know each other well.

As for the future...

Let’s talk about it in the future.

Maybe never see you again.

Be indifferent to the three thousand things in the world,

Laugh a few times...

We will meet again if destiny allows.

No chance...

The archway outside the academy has come into view.
