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

Chapter 176 Under the Bright Moon

Bai Shaoqiu had heard the name of the eldest princess many times.

Her story is still unknown.

He became increasingly curious about the eldest princess of Xingguo. He didn't quite understand why a woman, even a princess, had such a great influence in Xingguo.

The prince gave him two umbrellas.

The second one was to let him meet Her Royal Highness the Princess when he arrived in Kyoto.

Now Eunuch Wei said that if he wanted to save his life, he could become the Ninth Princess's consort, because the Ninth Princess was deeply loved by the Eldest Princess. This is the case of loving the Ninth Princess and loving her dog too.

After becoming the Ninth Princess's consort, the eldest princess issued an order that all the swords and knives pointed at her in Kyoto must be put away.

"There is an essential difference between a son-in-law and a son-in-law."

Looking at Bai Shaoqiu who was deep in thought, Eunuch Wei said again:

"If you become the Ninth Princess's consort, your child's surname will be Bai, and you can also serve as an official in the court."

"You can even become a high-ranking official step by step!"

“You can still do business.”

"For example, if you open your Sanwei Bookstore all over Xingguo, no one would dare to harm your business, and no one would dare to reprint the copy of 'The Story of the Stone' that you sell!"

"Because the Ninth Princess's consort is different from the other consorts!"

"As for the palace... Since Princess Changying and you are not actually married, and since she doesn't like you, I don't think the palace will have any objections to this."

"Look, doesn't this simply solve the problem you're currently facing?"

"A winding and bumpy path can become a broad road full of flowers if you just turn around!"

"Will this choice... be difficult?"

Such a choice was of course extremely simple in the eyes of Eunuch Wei.

Although Bai Shaoqiu is extremely talented, he is the son of a businessman.

Even if this businessman earns a lot of money in Xingguo, if he has no backing, it is hard to say who will get the money in the end.

Now there are people in Kyoto who want to harm Bai Shaoqiu.

The eldest son Jian from the Changsheng Marquis Mansion was in love, but once the eldest princess gave the order, Bai Shaoqiu became the ninth princess's consort, and he dared not mention his love... from then on!

As for Shang Shan of Xuan Jing Si, even if he sat on the first seat of Xuan Jing Si, he had to dismount and stand at attention to salute when he saw the Ninth Princess's consort!

Looking at Xingguo, who dares to kill him?

Why is Eunuch Wei so polite to Bai Shaoqiu?

It was precisely because he had heard in the palace about the changes that had taken place in the Ninth Princess after she returned from Xiling City, and knew that the Ninth Princess had a secret crush on Bai Shaoqiu.

In the eyes of Eunuch Wei, this kid is extremely lucky. No matter how talented he is, it is nothing. The one that really makes everyone afraid is Her Royal Highness the Princess who lives in seclusion!

That is one of the thickest thighs in the world!

What’s more, Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess is one of the five beauties in the world!

Bai Shaoqiu is not a fool, so he should know how to choose.

But Bai Shaoqiu grinned and shook his head: "To be honest, meeting the Ninth Princess in the library of Guangling Academy was also my fate."

"She is beautiful."

"very gentle."

"It would be a lie to say I wasn't attracted to her, but... I met a girl who was very kind to me."

"I have made an agreement with her."

"The Ninth Princess...she will always be the fairy girl in my heart."

Eunuch Wei was stunned, his old eyes staring straight at Bai Shaoqiu under the moonlight.

His expression did not change.

People become better with age.

What's more, he was an old eunuch who had served two emperors in the palace.

Bai Shaoqiu's words sounded quite meaningful to him.

The words were not final!

It also proves that the Ninth Princess does have a deep love for him!

As for the girl he met...Eunuch Wei didn't take her seriously.

If the Ninth Princess remained firm in her attitude, that girl would probably disappear from the world without a trace.

Eunuch Wei looked up.

The moon is in the sky.

He stood up with his hands on his knees, pounded his waist, and said with a smile:

"He's still a teenager after all."

“Love is a beautiful thing.”

"It's worth pursuing for young people like you, especially those of you who have read a lot... It's the saying of being under the moon and in front of flowers, the kind of unforgettable love that comes with being affectionate and sweet."

"But from the perspective of an old man like me, the more beautiful the love, the more it needs a... solid shelter!"

"It's not a pampering."

"Without power and money, what can I use to protect you?"

“Romance is expensive!”

"It's not something that can be sustained by just basking in the moonlight!"

"Love that can't be kept is not love, it's called... bad fate!"

"The love stories portrayed in those plays are misleading. The scripts of those plays... were written by those down-and-out writers who experienced romance, longing, and fantasy under the moonlight, but ultimately succumbed to power, money, and life."

"Anyway...you're a smart guy."

"Will you choose the so-called love that you can't keep? Or will you choose another kind of love that can give you a stable life, protect you from the ups and downs, and allow you to enjoy the beauty of flowers and the moon, and even more so, the free and romantic love..."

"That's your business."

"That's all I have to say. It's late, I'm going back to my room to sleep. You... can think about it quietly for a while."

Bai Shaoqiu also stood up and bowed to Eunuch Wei:

"Thank you for your trouble, father-in-law!"

Eunuch Wei actually returned the greeting!

"Sir, wealth and honor are right beside you. You don't even need to bend down to obtain them... I'd like to congratulate you first!"

He turned and went to the post station.

Bai Shaoqiu sat down slowly.

His thoughts did not change because of Eunuch Wei's heartfelt words, but he had to admit that Eunuch Wei's words were really for him.

So, thank you.

So...Xianxian, I can still only be the tear in your heart.

He thought of the lazy girl.

If you were in Zhuiyu Cottage with such bright moonlight, and if it was the season when pear blossoms were in full bloom, and you were walking among the pear blossoms with the lazy girl under such moonlight, it would be a romantic experience under the moon and flowers.

I never had it in my previous life, but I have longed for it.

In this life...I should make it happen!

As for the dangers of Kyoto,

Bai Shaoqiu stood up.

He Xiaofeng was walking towards him when he suddenly stopped. He saw Bai Shaoqiu standing up straight with his hands behind his back, exuding an aura that could swallow mountains and rivers!

"Even though there are tens of thousands of people, I will go!"

"I won't regret even if I die!"

"Go...sleep!"

……

……

Changan.

Yongping Alley.

There is an ordinary courtyard on the north side of the alley.

Behind the yard is the Yong'an River.

The Yong'an River flows quietly under the moonlight.

Dongfang Changying stood by the river outside the backyard and watched the water flow quietly.

The moonlight was torn into silver lines by the flowing river.

Thirteenth Sister came to her side and whispered:

"Shangshan still hasn't shown up."

"The Xuanjing Division headquarters is currently being guarded by Chen Sanchi's Second Division."

"Yu Donglin, the Chief of the Third Division, has been imprisoned in the Xuanjing Division's water dungeon. His replacement is Zhou Xing... a man recommended by the Third Prince. I heard that he's not only extremely skilled, but more importantly, ruthless."

Dongfang Changying frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and asked:

"Where has Grand Secretary Ji been these past few days?"

"He went from Ji's residence to the Imperial College, and then returned from the Imperial College to Ji's residence after the court session... He never went to the Left Prime Minister's residence."

"Oh... Has the Ninth Princess met the Eldest Princess?"

Thirteenth Sister shook her head. "Still haven't seen her yet. This is the Ninth Princess's fourth visit to Xiangji Temple, and the Eldest Princess still hasn't seen her... Maybe the Eldest Princess doesn't want to see her?"

"No, the princess will meet her eventually. Perhaps now is not the time."

"Tomorrow we'll go find a real estate agent and buy a large house. Shaoqiu needs a place to stay when he comes to Kyoto."

Dongfang Changying's eyes were bright:

"The Ninth Princess will definitely go to the East Gate to pick him up... We can't let her take Shao Qiu to the Princess's Mansion!"
