Chapter 19: Shocking! The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess colluded to win money! ...
Jiang Yueying was shocked.
Although she knew that Xiao Lang was Xie Yuting's personal bodyguard, he was still a child after all. Jiang Yueying never expected that he could beat up these strong men as easily as cutting cucumbers, with a few whoosh and whoosh strokes without any effort.
Xie Yuting poked her cheek through the veil.
"Stupid?"
"I thought you were my child, but it turns out he can really fight..." Jiang Yueying was shocked and dazed.
"How dare you!" Boss Liu roared, "How dare you cause trouble on my territory? This is outrageous!"
The onlookers couldn't help but whisper.
"This guy is so brazen, claiming money and even bringing thugs with him. Could it be that he was hired by another gambling house to cause trouble?"
"How can a Minglei gambling house allow such scoundrels to run rampant? This family of three probably has no idea who is behind this gambling house."
"I don't know either. Who is behind this gambling house?"
"Hush, I heard he's a big shot, otherwise how could he dominate Kyoto? I don't know much more about him, so just don't provoke him."
"Something's wrong. Why do I feel that the thugs look familiar? I feel like I've seen them somewhere before."
The sound reached her ears, and Jiang Yueying was a little nervous. Yu Lang was Xie Yuting's personal bodyguard, and Xie Yuting often hangs out in the streets. What if someone recognized his identity...
Xie Yuting was calm and composed, fanning himself lazily and looking up at Yu Lang.
Yu Lang immediately understood what he meant and kicked the man in black to the ground. Without giving him a chance to react, he pulled off the hat on his head, revealing his entire face.
The man in black turned pale and quickly covered his face with his hands, but it was too late. Almost everyone could see his appearance clearly.
I don't know who shouted first.
"This is Boss Liu's nephew!"
The whole room was in an uproar, and the atmosphere was in an uproar.
"He's actually Boss Liu's nephew. No wonder there's nothing wrong with the receipt. The uncle and nephew are colluding to cheat people out of money!"
"This is definitely not the first time this has happened. How can you, Minglei Gambling House, have any credibility left?"
"Go away, go away! Don't come to Minglei again. There are countless gambling houses in Kyoto, and this one is not a big deal."
"Bah! Old bastard, I don't know how much money he has ripped us off over the years!"
Public opinion suddenly reversed, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation, shouting and cursing loudly, the noise blew off the roof, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
After what happened today, the reputation of Minglei Gambling House will be completely ruined from now on.
Boss Liu's eyelids fluttered and he fainted.
The boss's nephew, his identity exposed, was furious. Determined to die with Xie Yuting, he rushed forward, but after taking two steps, he was strangled. Yu Lang restrained him from behind, his eyes cold as frost. He kicked him hard, and with a crisp sound, the man fell to his knees, facing Xie Yuting.
"If you have the guts to tell me your name, I will never let you go!"
"Don't dare to take off the bamboo hat because you are too ugly to be seen in public?"
He let out his final roar like a trapped beast.
Everyone was full of contempt. Everyone knew that the forces behind Minglei Gambling House were powerful. If this rich and mysterious man revealed his appearance and identity, he would definitely be hunted down in the future. Only a fool would take off his hat.
As soon as the man on the ground finished speaking, everyone saw the mysterious man take off his hat on the spot. The white hat rolled to the ground, revealing a face of extraordinary elegance. His peach blossom eyes, as bright as the morning stars, narrowed slightly, with the corners of his eyes raised. It was clearly the lawless Crown Prince!
The gambling house was in an uproar again. The boss's nephew was dumbfounded and the blood drained from his face.
All eyes were on the two of them.
Jiang Yueying was extremely flustered and secretly cursed Xie Yuting for being so ridiculous. How could he reveal his identity so casually? Now everyone would know about it.
"What's wrong with you? Who told you to take off your hat?" Jiang Yueying scolded in a low voice.
Xie Yuting gritted his teeth and said, "How dare he call me ugly? Of course I have to let him see clearly."
Just because someone said you were ugly? Jiang Yueying choked and wanted to punch this show-off guy.
"You, still feel lonely and ugly?" The voice was full of threats.
The boss's nephew banged his head on the ground, tears streaming down his face as he said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is a man of unparalleled beauty, a man of exceptional talent, a man of noble character! I was blinded and offended the Crown Prince. I hope Your Highness will be magnanimous and spare my life!"
"It's no use begging me. This gambling den is cheating people out of their money, so the government needs to deal with it. Alas, I'm doing my best to eliminate this evil," Xie Yuting said, shaking his head proudly. "Before that, you must first hand over every penny of the silver I won."
Amidst the chaos, Mr. Liu, the owner of the gambling house, slowly woke up. After learning that the mysterious man was the dissolute prince Xie Yuting, he almost fainted again.
He originally wanted to make some money secretly, but he hit the wall of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He regretted it so much.
How can he explain this to the master behind him...
In the end, Boss Liu obediently counted the banknotes for Xie Yuting, bowed and served him carefully, for fear that his ancestor would smash his gambling house in anger.
Everyone watched the farce come to an end and couldn't suppress their curiosity.
Who is the little beauty beside the Crown Prince? It's well known that although His Royal Highness loves to visit brothels, he has never brought his brothel girl with him. So, who can openly bring her with him must be...
It's impossible. Isn't it said that Princess Anyi has a domineering personality and must look vicious and cruel? But although the little beauty in front of me has her face covered with a veil, the pair of eyes exposed are extremely beautiful.
It must not be the Crown Princess...
Jiang Yueying felt that more and more eyes were focused on her, as if everyone was curious about her identity. She hated being stared at the most and couldn't help but glare at Xie Yuting.
His eyes seemed to be saying, it's all your fault.
Xie Yuting spread his hands to show his innocence.
In order to maintain her status, Jiang Yueying raised her voice and said fiercely: "If you look at me again, I will dig your eyes out!"
In an instant, the whole room fell silent.
Everyone broke out in cold sweats. That's right, that's right, this person is actually the Crown Princess!
Xie Yuting came forward with the box in his arms, smiling, and boasted, "Don't be angry, little princess. Look at the banknotes we won together. I'll ask the kitchen to make a good meal tonight."
After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finished speaking, the audience were all stunned.
After the silence, it was as if a frying pan exploded.
The lobby was filled with noise.
Everyone had only one thought in their mind: the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were in cahoots to win money!
No wonder they didn’t quarrel for a whole month. It was as quiet as if they had not even gotten married. It turned out to be a conspiracy of the couple.
The outcome of this gamble was decided from the beginning, and everyone was fooled around!
Who said the two of them are not a good match? They are so good a match.
Facing countless burning gazes, Xie Yuting pulled Jiang Yueying out of the door in a swagger, leaving the boiling noisy discussions behind them.
…
The carriage back to the East Palace drove smoothly, leaving faint ruts, and a few wisps of wind blew into the carriage along the curtains.
There seemed to be some noise outside, and the people watching the fun did not leave for a long time.
Jiang Yueying frowned slightly and kicked Xie Yuting, her boots instantly covered in dust. "Why do you have to be so ostentatious? What if someone files a complaint against you tomorrow?"
"What are you afraid of? I'm not afraid of itching when I have too many lice. I'll be bitten by the ginseng every day."
What are you so proud of?
Jiang Yueying was so angry that she kicked him again, leaving a deep mark on her boots.
After much difficulty in urging Xie Yuting to pretend to be diligent for a few days, all his efforts were wasted after the incident at the gambling house.
It is harder than climbing to the sky to keep Xie Yuting's position as the crown prince. Jiang Yueying's eyes were filled with sorrow as she pondered how to strangle Xie Yuting to death in the middle of the night.
Xie Yuting leaned his head on her shoulder, squinting lazily: "I'm so tired, let me lean on you for a while."
The cool scent of ginkgo lingered on the tip of her nose, and her fluffy hair rubbed against the side of the girl's neck, making her feel itchy.
Jiang Yueying lowered her eyes and caught a glimpse of the Crown Prince's handsome, annoying face. She pushed hard, but failed.
"I am even more tired, go away."
Xie Yuting refused to let go, whining while resting his head on the man's shoulder.
Suddenly, he asked, "Do you like osmanthus?"
Jiang Yueying couldn't help but be stunned, with confusion flashing in her eyes. It was no wonder that she was confused. Whenever someone asked her about her preferences, her first reaction was not what she liked, but what Princess Anyi should like.
You can't have your own likes and dislikes, you must be exactly the same as your sister.
After just one month in Beiliang, she had already begun to feel confused about who she really was.
Princess Anyi loved gorgeous peonies. She had also followed her sister's example and asked her servants to transplant many peonies to the South Garden. In order to prevent any mistakes, some time ago, she deliberately asked Qingge to replace all the spices for washing hands with those her sister liked.
How did Xie Yuting discover that he liked osmanthus?
I was thinking in my heart, and I couldn't help but wonder aloud: "Why do you think so?" I even forgot about pushing the other person away.
Xie Yuting took the opportunity to rub his head against her shoulder and said with a smile: "The princess often uses peony incense on herself. You can smell the rich and luxurious scent from a distance, but when you get closer-"
The hot breath sprayed on Jiang Yueying's ears, making them itchy.
The other person continued, "If you get closer, you can smell the delicate fragrance of the osmanthus buds about to bloom. It's obvious that the princess often lingers under the osmanthus trees, so she has been imbued with its scent."
"I am a princess, so naturally I have to use thousands of spices. There's nothing to be surprised about." Jiang Yueying frowned and refused to admit it.
Xie Yuting laughed silently, neither saying whether he believed it nor whether he didn't, which made Jiang Yueying even angrier.
"Don't lean against me, it's so hot." Jiang Yueying wanted to hide herself out of guilt and moved her body back.
"I won't."
The two pushed and shoved each other back and forth, causing the carriage to shake and bump.
In the end, they were all out of breath and stopped struggling.
Xie Yuting yawned and whispered in her ear: "Actually, I prefer the smell of osmanthus. Don't use peony in the future."
Every word sank into his ears, especially the four words "I like osmanthus", which he pronounced in a particularly ambiguous way, like a feather gently brushing against his heart, making his ears blush unconsciously.
Jiang Yueying's ears blushed, and she pretended to be angry: "Who wants to please you? You are so self-indulgent!"
Just as Xie Yuting was about to flirt with her, the carriage suddenly stopped, the curtains were lifted, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the East Palace.
A guard came hurriedly to report that a guest was visiting and had been led into the front hall and served tea.
Xie Yuting raised his eyebrows and smiled casually: "Oh, I wonder who it is?"
The guard looked at Jiang Yueying tremblingly, hesitating to speak.
Jiang Yueying blinked blankly. Why are you looking at me?
