The Eighth Princess pouted and leaned close to Shen Zhiyi and said, "The storyteller in this teahouse only tells this one story all day long. I don't know why so many people seem to never get tired of listening to it."
The Crown Princess coughed and turned her head to look at the Eighth Princess.
"Old Eight, be careful with your words."
"oh."
[Ah? Why do I have to be careful with my words? Do I not even have the right to complain after paying to listen to storytelling? ! ! ]
Shen Zhiyi was shocked.
And expressed great incomprehension.
[No, no, the Crown Princess is not that kind of person. ]
The Crown Princess secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Shen Zhiyi understood her!
[There is only one possibility that could make the Crown Princess say "be careful with your words", this teahouse was secretly opened by the old emperor, haha.]
Everyone: ...
Soon, the Crown Princess discovered that very low coughing sounds were coming from other private rooms and even downstairs.
Wow, there are a lot of new faces coming to Mengyun Teahouse today.
She turned to look at Shen Zhiyi, and it was clear that she was coming for Shen Lang.
At this moment, the old emperor who was in the Purple Palace felt his shoulders were a little heavy.
Chen Decai stepped forward considerately and said, "Your Majesty, do you need me to massage your shoulders?"
"Pinch it for a while. I don't know why, but my shoulders are a little sore today. Maybe it's because I'm really getting old."
Shen Zhiyi happily made a big scapegoat for the old emperor.
[Let me see, what does the old emperor want to do by opening this teahouse? If he asks this storyteller to tell a love story, he should tell the story about him and the empress. Why does he always tell other stories...huh?]
Shen Zhiyi’s inner voice disappeared briefly.
Everyone present understood instantly that Chen Lang was finally going to clear the old emperor's name.
[Oh, this teahouse was opened by General Zhongwu. ]
[Then, wouldn't that mean the Crown Prince's Consort and the young lady's father? Ahem, no wonder the Crown Princess told the Eighth Princess to be careful with her words. Isn't this just cricketing someone in front of them? Haha, she is worthy of being the Eighth Princess. She never crickets others behind their backs, but she cricketed them right there.]
For the first time, the eighth princess felt uncomfortable.
However, she has always been rude to people in person, so it is impossible to ask her to change.
Therefore, those who are not as good as her should just be patient for the time being.
[Hey, the love story that the storyteller below is telling is about him and his wife.]
The Crown Prince's Consort and the young lady from General Zhongwu's family couldn't help but raise the corners of their lips.
[Oh, the word Mengyun in this Mengyun Teahouse is exactly the name of General Zhongwu’s wife. ]
The Crown Prince's Consort and the young lady from General Zhongwu's family drank tea silently as a cover-up.
Their dad just likes to do this. Their mom has said it several times, but their dad just can't help showing off his affection.
[I didn't expect that General Zhongwu is a man who loves his wife dearly. Tsk tsk tsk, don't act like you're believing it.]
The Crown Prince's Consort and the Young Lady: ???
What does Shen Zhiyi mean by this?
Their father truly loves their mother, so there is no need for him to act.
[Really? If you're planning on acting, why not just act it for the rest of your life and act it thoroughly?]
[Why is there a storyteller telling the love story between him and his wife? Tsk tsk tsk, generally people who show off their affection frequently die quickly. ]
[I want to see when this loyal general's beloved wife's character will fall. ]
Those who were present and could hear Shen Zhiyi's inner thoughts couldn't help but start whispering.
"Is the story about General Zhongwu loving his wife fake?"
"This, this is impossible. Every time he invites General Zhongwu to drink, he is the only one who doesn't need a girl to accompany him. He says that he can't let his wife down. He can tolerate this. He must love his wife."
"But Shen Lang can't be wrong."
"But the fact is that General Zhongwu doesn't even have a concubine."
[At this time, General Zhongwu must go out. In order to maintain his image, he cannot go out at night, so he has to go out during the day. ]
Everyone looked confused.
What does Shen Zhiyi mean by this?
After a while.
[Here we are, General Zhongwu went to a small courtyard that he had bought. ]
The Crown Prince's Consort loosened her nervous hands.
She knew that her father had some rough and sturdy military friends in that small courtyard, and they would often get together there.
My mother goes to bed early, and a gathering at home might disturb her, so my father bought a small yard outside.
At first, she and her mother were worried that her father might have a mistress, so they went to check on him several times under the pretext of delivering food.
No problem!
Shen Zhiyi must have made a mistake this time.
[Unexpectedly, General Zhongwu's wife was very confident in her husband, but the Crown Prince's wife was not very confident. She forced her mother to go several times, but after finding that there was no problem, she gave up.]
[Alas, Crown Prince Liang Di, you are right to be worried!!!]
The Crown Prince's Consort raised her eyes slightly.
The group of people who could hear Shen Zhiyi’s thoughts at this time.
"What? General Zhongwu really has a mistress?"
"No way. I've been to that little courtyard before, and I didn't see a single hair of a woman."
"I've been there, too. There's definitely no mistress in that courtyard. Even the two or three servants there are all men."
"To be honest, I really admire General Zhongwu for only caring for his wife. How could Chen Lang make up rumors about such a loving couple?"
"Pooh."
The man who just accused Chen Lang of spreading rumors about others had his head slapped and it was buzzing.
The man was filled with anger and was about to say a curse. He looked up and found that it was the prince.
Everyone was horrified and was about to kneel down, but was stopped by the prince.
He had come to pick up the Crown Princess, but he didn’t expect to hear Shen Zhiyi’s inner voice babble as soon as he arrived at the door.
He sounded like he was talking about his concubine's father.
He has to listen carefully.
Who would have thought that as soon as they came in, they would see someone dare to question Shen Zhiyi.
"When did Shen Zhiyi miss it? Who gave you the guts to question it?"
"Your Highness, I dare to speak nonsense. Everyone has seen that General Zhongwu loves his wife. Chen Lang said it was false right away. If he is wrong, wouldn't this be slandering someone's innocence?"
The prince sneered: "No one has spread it around, but you are just talking to yourself, slandering someone's innocence."
Everyone: Such blatant favoritism! Not even trying to hide it.
Everyone feels jealous, but what can they do?
[This General Zhongwu is really hardworking. In order to maintain his image as a loving wife for decades, he always goes out to find women in secret. However, recently this old man feels that he has found true love. In order to meet with the other party frequently, he directly dug a tunnel in the small yard he bought, which leads directly to the flower shop. ]
Flowers, flower shop?
Is it the flower shop they were thinking of?
Ever since the old emperor launched a major crackdown on brothels, many officials have not set foot in such places for a long time.
He was afraid that someone would find fault with him and report him to the old emperor, which would have a detrimental impact on his career.
But the flower shop and General Zhongwu have nothing to do with each other.
