Chapter 16 That brat made me act in 2 episodes
The old emperor looked at his daughter, whose fortune was as good as sixty-six, with a complicated expression.
Dad tries to be sincere with you, but you try to outsmart him.
“Da Shun, if you have any grievances, just tell your father directly. There’s no need to beat around the bush. Your father will stand up for you.”
The sixth princess tilted her head and looked at her father with some disdain.
"Dad, you're overthinking it. I really just want to find Lao Ba."
"Don't say anything, I understand, Dad understands everything, Dad will definitely give you an explanation."
The Eighth Princess owns a manor outside, and wow, there's even a hot spring there! Fruit is floating on the hot spring, and flower petals are scattered on the fruit.
[Extravagant, truly extravagant! Your father practically donated his own underwear to help the people in the disaster area, and you're secretly indulging in pleasure outside the palace, even keeping handsome men as mistresses. Keeping mistresses is one thing, but how did you manage to... well, I'm almost embarrassed to say it.]
Most importantly, do you even understand how good this life is? Get out of my way, you brat! Let me act in two episodes, then I'll give up the prince consort role.
The old emperor, who was about to praise Shen Zhiyi, suddenly choked up.
At this moment, the Dragon Scale Guards whispered a few symbolic words in the old emperor's ear at the right time and place.
The old emperor coughed lightly.
"Da Shun, come on, your father will get you justice!"
Upon arriving at her destination, Shen Zhiyi inwardly marveled at the efficiency of the Dragon Scale Guards, then wrote something down in her small notebook—
On the 30th day of the ninth month of the 20th year of Emperor Taizong's reign, at the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), the emperor went to the Eighth Princess's estate, suspected to be to catch her in adultery.
The old emperor: ……
Shen Zhiyi, look at what you've written! How can you write about something that didn't happen? Besides, he caught someone cheating, not the other way around!
When the Crown Prince returns from his disaster relief mission, I must throw Shen Zhiyi over there to learn how to write classical Chinese.
A group of people arrived at the Eighth Princess's estate in a menacing manner. Inside, the estate was shrouded in mist and filled with fragrant aromas, as if one were in a fairyland.
【Aaaaaah, I'm going to fight you rich people to the death!】
[Ughhhh, that brat made me act in two episodes!]
The old emperor's face grew increasingly grim as he looked at the scene. He himself dared not be so extravagant; the country had only been established for a few years, yet it had already deteriorated to this extent.
Most importantly, Shen Zhiyi's writing is so exaggerated.
The Emperor's eighth daughter owned a villa. The villa, with its continuous stretch of white walls and black tiles, featured pavilions and towers arranged in a harmonious and orderly fashion. Within the villa, one walked on golden bricks, and was enveloped in swirling mist, as if transported to a fairyland.
If this matter is not resolved today, wouldn't future generations think he was a foolish ruler when they read the daily records?
If he had been a foolish ruler from the start, it would have been one thing, but he had been a wise ruler for most of his life, waiting to be remembered for eternity, and he didn't want his legacy to be ruined so hastily.
Therefore, he was determined to teach this rebellious daughter a lesson today.
Guided by Shen Zhiyi's inner thoughts, the old emperor easily found the Eighth Princess, who was enjoying herself in the hot spring.
The scene was truly...
[How enviable.]
Ugh, it's absolutely disgusting!
"Cough cough!"
The Eighth Princess did not hear it.
"Cough cough cough cough."
The Eighth Princess still didn't hear it.
The old emperor is about to cough up his guts.
"Old Eight!"
The Eighth Princess heard this and thought she had misheard. She even teased her male favorite, saying, "I think I just heard the Emperor's voice. I must have misheard."
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? If you keep this up, I'm not going to want you today."
Hahaha, your male concubine's eyesight is almost failing.
"Eighth Prince! Get dressed and get up here!"
The Eighth Princess turned around, saw a dark mass of people, and screamed.
The scene suddenly changed.
The group went inside, where there was a full-length carpet made of wool that was incredibly soft underfoot.
The Eighth Princess cried and said, "Father, could you please take off your shoes?"
Why are you taking off your shoes?
"I... I have a blanket on the floor. If you step on it, your shoes will get dirty."
The old emperor, who had lived a rough life for most of his life, had never been so refined, but since the blanket was expensive, he would still take it off.
Upon seeing the old emperor about to take off his shoes, Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but reach out Er Kang's hand.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
The old emperor released his grip and looked at Shen Zhiyi with amusement.
"You said."
Shen Zhiyi pointed to the carpet on the ground: "Your Majesty, you are the supreme ruler, how can you give in for the sake of carpets? All these carpets should be removed."
Chen Decai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty, this servant thinks Shen Lang's suggestion is excellent."
"alright."
This was the first time Shen Zhiyi had offered a verbal suggestion.
strange.
It's accurate.
After all the blankets in the room were removed, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
[That was close! I almost died from the stench of the old emperor's athlete's foot.]
The old emperor, who had just begun to feel happy, could no longer be happy.
He said to the Eighth Princess with a stern face, "Eighth Princess, do you know your mistake?"
Like a quail, the Eighth Princess cautiously raised her head and asked hesitantly, "Wrong? I didn't do anything wrong, I don't know what I did wrong."
"Hmph, you bastard!"
The old emperor slammed his fist on the table in anger, and everyone around him knelt down with practiced ease, while Shen Zhiyi was a beat slower.
“Nowadays, the people of Jiangnan are resorting to cannibalism, yet you, as the princess of Daye, are indulging in pleasure. This is a mistake.”
"Besides being a princess, you are also the eighth sister of the Great Shun Dynasty, yet... yet your relationship with her is ambiguous, which is a double mistake."
The Eighth Princess, who had been hanging her head, looked at the old emperor and the Sixth Princess in surprise.
"Wait, wait a moment."
"What are you waiting for? You still want to make excuses!"
The old emperor looked at the Eighth Princess with disappointment: "Eighth Princess, you were raised by your Sixth Sister. You must not forget your roots."
"I, I haven't forgotten. I always think of Sixth Sister whenever I have something good."
The old emperor laughed in anger, almost pointing his finger at the Eighth Princess: "Then tell me, what's the deal with that consort?"
The Eighth Princess did not answer, but instead turned to look at her Sixth Sister.
"I understand. Sixth Sister, is it really necessary? You called Father Emperor over such a trivial matter."
"This is no small matter, it's a big deal, I can't find you."
"If you can't find me, you can go to my palace and ask."
The sixth princess said irritably, "I asked, but they wouldn't tell me."
"That's impossible!"
As they were talking, the two sisters started arguing.
The old emperor gradually realized that something was wrong.
Shen Zhiyi, with her sensitive skin all over her body, naturally sensed that something was wrong.
[What's going on? This isn't what I expected. Weren't we here to catch them cheating and demand an explanation?]
This male concubine isn't the prince consort.
【let me see.】
The old emperor and Chen Decai simultaneously leaned towards Shen Zhiyi.
[Found it! Damn, I never expected this!]
Everyone: What is it like? What is it like?!
Shen Zhiyi looked at the Sixth and Eighth Princesses with admiration, almost giving them a thumbs up on the spot.
She truly is a heroine among women, a role model for us all.
The old emperor's face darkened. What on earth is this?!
[I thought it was some cheesy, melodramatic soap opera about two sisters fighting over one guy, but I never expected this...]
