Chapter 73 I Like His Dominance
Shen Yue didn't know that her prince had so many twists and turns in his mind. She only knew that she wouldn't be scolded if she fed him some food, which was great.
The only bad thing is that she is not full yet.
"Don't feed me, you eat too."
Xiao Yuheng took a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and brought it to her mouth.
Shen Yue was suddenly startled.
She fed Xiao Yuheng food to flatter him, so what was his reason?
"Your Majesty, this isn't good..."
"If the king says it's good, it's good."
Xiao Yuheng looked a little uncomfortable. After putting the meat into her mouth, he put down his chopsticks.
"What are you going to do this afternoon?"
Chen Yue chewed something and spoke vaguely, "I was planning to go to the casino this afternoon to see what it was like, but since I was caught by the prince, I have no choice but to return..."
"I will take you there."
Shen Yue couldn't believe her ears, "Really?"
"Um."
Xiao Yuheng propped his forehead with one hand and looked at her leisurely: "Aren't you afraid of being bored? I'll take you out to relax."
Shen Yue felt that Xiao Yuheng must have taken the wrong medicine today.
That’s great, I hope he takes the wrong medicine every day!
"That's great, Your Highness! Let's go now. I'm full."
As soon as she puts down her chopsticks, she will lift her butt.
Xiao Yuheng pulled her back and said, "No, eat more."
Shen Yue pouted in dissatisfaction, "Prince..."
"Hmm?" Xiao Yuheng narrowed his eyes, his tone full of threats.
"All right."
Our second director just put down his chopsticks and picked them up again. He ate much faster than before.
Just then, a man and a woman came down the stairs and walked to the table for two.
The man rubbed the woman's waist back and forth as he walked: "Yueyue, you serve me so well, I want you again next time..."
Before he could finish his words, a long leg suddenly stretched out from under the table and accurately crossed in front of the man.
The man was caught off guard and suddenly lost his balance and fell forward.
"puff--"
With a dull thud, the man's nose hit the ground directly, splashing a small red spot on the ground.
Seeing this, Shen Yue couldn't help but raised her hand to cover her nose.
Xiao Yuheng was too cruel!
The man lay on the ground for a long time before he came to his senses and stood up staggeringly.
"Who is so blind as to dare... Your Majesty?"
"Um, what's up?"
Xiao Yuheng looked at the other person calmly, as if this matter really had nothing to do with him.
The man turned pale with fright when he saw that the other person was Xiao Yuheng:
"No...it's okay. I just tripped over my right foot with my left foot and fell accidentally. I frightened Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"
"It's okay, just be more careful next time."
Xiao Yuheng nodded, signaled him to leave with his eyes, and called the madam over.
"The woman just now changed her name within one incense stick."
The madam scratched her head uncertainly, "You mean Yue..."
"Bang--"
Before she could finish, Xiao Yuheng dropped the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table.
The madam was so frightened that her legs went limp and she fell to her knees with a thump.
"I understand. I will change her name right now. This name will never appear in Mantingfang again!"
Xiao Yuheng's anger subsided a little, "Well, go down."
Shen Yue, who saw the whole process, couldn't help but swallow.
It was just a name duplication, so why did Xiao Yuheng get so angry? She, the person involved, only grumbled a few words in her heart, but he, on the other hand, just asked someone to change the name.
To put it nicely, this kind of behavior is protecting one's own children, and to put it bluntly, it is overbearing.
But then again, she actually quite likes his dominance...
"What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Yuheng stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her.
"No, nothing, I'm just a little full."
Shen Yue said this guiltily, touching her slightly round belly.
Xiao Yuheng couldn't help laughing, his eyes following her hand down to her slender waist.
Somehow, he recalled the soft and wonderful touch of her waist on Paradise Island that day.
"Ahem." He stood up uncomfortably. "Now that we're full, let's go."
Just as Shen Yue was about to say "OK", Xiao Yuheng had already walked a long way away, so she had to quickly get up and jog to catch up with him.
"Hey, wait for me!"
Bai Yunfei, who was hanging on the beam, touched his chin with a smile and looked at Zhang Dayong, who also had an uncle smile on his face.
"Brother Zhang, do you think our director looks like a young wife?"
"Go away!" Zhang Dayong poked his head.
"You forgot, our director is going up there! Stop talking nonsense and catch up!"
The largest casino in Sifang City is called Fuyunlou, located in the downtown area of Chang'an Avenue. It is just a matter of walking along Furong Lane and turning a corner to get there, so the two chose to walk.
Xiao Yuheng was tall and had long legs, so he made a lot of noise when he walked. It was difficult for Chen Yue to catch up with him, so she had to stop there out of spite.
"I'm not going!"
"...What's wrong? Why are you suddenly not going?"
Xiao Yuheng turned around and looked at her in confusion, as if she was being unreasonable.
Seeing this, Shen Yue couldn't help but get even angrier.
"Your Highness is leaving so quickly, he must be unwilling to take me with him. If that's the case, I won't be going either!"
“…”
Xiao Yuheng smacked his lips, wanting to explain something but not knowing how.
You can't say he's shy, right?
"I'll just walk slower. Please don't be angry, okay?"
Shen Yue turned her head away and ignored him.
Xiao Yuheng couldn't help laughing, so he walked back and gently pulled her arm.
"Let's go, why are you acting like a girl and getting so angry?"
When Shen Yue heard the word "girl", alarm bells immediately rang in her heart, and she raised her voice guiltily: "You are more like a girl, I am very masculine, okay!"
"Okay, okay, the Second Director is the most masculine man in the entire palace."
Xiao Yuheng didn't expect that she cared so much about that sentence, so he stopped arguing and just pulled her forward. Soon they arrived at the door of Fuyun Building.
In Shen Yue's impression, casinos in ancient times were generally places where filth and dirt were hidden. They should be set up in hidden corners or directly underground like black markets.
But the Fuyun Building did the opposite. Not only was it located in the center of the city, it was also decorated magnificently with carved beams and painted rafters.
The people did not seem to think gambling was shameful. Not only did they not shy away from it, but they gathered in groups of two or three to play together.
"Are they so blatant?"
Looking at the people coming and going, Shen Yue couldn't help but wonder.
Xiao Yuheng raised the corner of his lips slightly, "You know, Sifang City is located at the junction of three countries. It is a mixed bag of people, with various forces entrenched. It cannot be compared with ordinary places."
"Take the bandits for example. Although they may burn, kill, and plunder, they also have a certain restraining effect on other foreign forces. Therefore, as long as they don't target ordinary people, I will allow them to exist."
"Similarly, those foreign merchants and local nobles who need a place to relax need places like Fuyunlou. As long as they don't defraud the people, they are legal like other shops."
Shen Yue heard this and nodded slightly.
Yes, in a chaotic place like Sifang City, if you simply suppress and govern it, it is likely to backfire. The smartest approach is to govern according to the local conditions.
This Xiao Yuheng is no ordinary person.
