Chapter 147 The Thief Cries Thief



[Oh, the old emperor, why did he give me such a difficult question? He insisted that I find a partner for the eighth princess. Where can I find one? I am a steward, not a matchmaker.]

Shen Zhiyi covered his head in pain.

Finally, he said weakly, "May I ask, Your Highness, what type of consort do you want?"

"The Sixth Prince Consort type."

"Pfft, cough, cough, cough."

[My goodness, how could I have forgotten all about the things that happened between the Eighth Princess, the Sixth Princess, the Prince Consort, and that young eunuch.]

[Hehe, but the Eighth Princess did remind me that the young prostitute now likes the General of the Central Army, but the General of the Central Army seems to be discussing marriage with the daughter of the Minister of Rites recently.]

The eighth princess' eyes lit up and she didn't even look at the portrait in her hand.

I didn't expect that the young waiter actually had some affair with the General of the Household.

[Let me see how that young man feels now! ! ! ]

Shen Zhiyi turned on the surveillance video of the young man with a bit of gossip in his heart.

You don't know until you see it. You will be shocked when you see it, and you will quickly turn off the surveillance camera of the young waiter.

[Oh, don't look at what's inappropriate, don't look at what's inappropriate, this young man finally found his Nth other half in his life. ]

The eighth princess jumped up excitedly.

It must be that thing.

Damn it, why couldn't she see the live version.

Shen Zhiyi is thin-skinned, but she is thick.

She is not afraid of getting stye.

The Eighth Princess suddenly jumped up, startling Shen Zhiyi.

"Your Highness, do you know what kind of prince consort you want?"

"ah?"

The Eighth Princess stammered, "Ah, this, this, actually I don't know what kind of prince consort I want, but, but I remember that the Hundred Flowers Banquet will be held in a few days."

[A hundred flowers banquet?]

[This Hundred Flowers Banquet seems to be a blind date in disguise. ]

"I'll have to trouble Chen Lang to help this princess check it carefully when the time comes."

The corners of Shen Zhiyi's mouth twitched fiercely, he looked polite on the surface but cursed in his heart.

[Isn't this just asking me to work overtime in disguise? ]

[It’s still the damn kind of overtime work for the boss’s daughter, and there is no overtime pay. This is exploitation. This is the exploitation of feudal society!!!]

[Luckily I have a surveillance system, but I still have to pretend.]

The Eighth Princess looked at Shen Zhiyi curiously.

Pretending?

How do you pretend?

*

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the Hundred Flowers Banquet. The weather began to warm up, and each and every one of them looked like a peacock spreading its tail.

【Ah, spring is here, and the air is filled with the scent of spring. 】

Shen Zhiyi stood beside the Eighth Princess, holding a small notebook.

"Your Highness, the information of all the men who will be attending the Hundred Flowers Banquet is here. Please take a look."

The eighth princess took the little notebook and was stunned.

So this is what Shen Zhiyi meant by pretending.

That's too much professionalism. After all, writing everything down is a waste of time.

[Hahahaha, I asked a poor scholar from Ziqi Bookstore to copy it. It’s cheap and easy to use. It’s as easy to use as a college student who earns 20 yuan an hour.]

The Eighth Princess looked at the information carefully. It basically only contained the most basic information and nothing further.

But it may be because we are all women and we all love appearance.

Shen Zhiyi would put a small word after the name.

It was so small that the Eighth Princess had to open her eyes very wide to see it clearly.

--ugly.

——Just so-so.

——It’s okay.

--Can.

Very good, she understood, these should be the evaluation of appearance.

The eighth princess decided to start with the most handsome one.

She clicked on a name on one of the pages.

"That's it. This princess wants to meet him. Please invite him over."

The eighth princess was sitting in a pavilion, around which the flowers were in full bloom.

"Chen Lang, what are you doing standing there? Sit down quickly."

"I just asked them to invite County Magistrate Wu. I have heard of this County Magistrate Wu. He is still young and has not yet married, but he has already become a county magistrate in Dajing. What rank is the county magistrate in Dajing?"

"Your Highness, it's the seventh rank."

"Only a seventh rank?" The eighth princess was somewhat displeased with the low rank.

But on second thought, Shen Zhiyi said he looked okay, so he must be a handsome boy.

Being a low-ranking official is not a big problem. If you become her husband in the future, will you be afraid that you won’t be able to become a high-ranking official?

Soon, County Magistrate Wu came over, kowtowed to the princess, and bowed to Shen Zhiyi.

[Wow, rare, you actually salute me. ]

County Magistrate Wu: You are of a higher official rank than him, so of course you have to bow.

"Your Highness, I wonder if you are calling me here?"

The Eighth Princess waved her hand: "Sit down."

"Why else would this princess come to this Hundred Flowers Banquet? What is County Magistrate Wu here for? This is what this princess is here for."

[This County Magistrate Wu is here to investigate a death case.]

The smile on the Eighth Princess's face suddenly froze.

County Magistrate Wu looked at the Eighth Princess with a polite smile.

The Eighth Princess suddenly felt a little unlucky, but the other party's leather was indeed very good, so she continued to ask patiently.

"I wonder what County Magistrate Wu expects of his future wife?"

[Roar, as expected of the old emperor's daughter, she is so direct.]

[It seems that the Eighth Princess thinks that County Magistrate Wu is very nice, but County Magistrate Wu likes people who are family-oriented, gentle and considerate. Why don’t you look in the mirror and see if it’s suitable for you? ]

The Eighth Princess glared at Shen Zhiyi angrily.

Shen Zhiyi: ???

[Why is this Eighth Princess kicking me? ]

After listening to Shen Zhiyi's thoughts, County Magistrate Wu knew that the Eighth Princess came here to choose a prince consort.

He immediately held his breath and spoke very quickly: "Your Highness, I like women with personality. This way, my family will be more lively when I marry them back in the future."

The Eighth Princess immediately laughed and said, "Then why is it that I heard that you, County Magistrate Wu, seem to like gentle and family-oriented people?"

"That was all in the past. People change."

[Haha, you've changed so quickly. When you came here, you were still showing concern for the daughter of the magistrate of Jing County, but in less than an hour, you no longer like her.]

Before County Magistrate Wu could say something else, he was forcibly dragged away by the young eunuch.

[But what kind of murder case was County Magistrate Wu investigating? How did he end up investigating here?]

Shen Zhiyi instantly threw the Eighth Princess' blind date aside and began to look at the case that County Magistrate Wu wanted to investigate.

【Three days ago, the daughter of a Tongpan in Shuntian Prefecture died. When investigating, County Magistrate Wu found that the Tongpan's daughter received a letter before she died, saying that she would meet the Tongpan's daughter at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. So County Magistrate Wu thought that the murderer was the one who sent the letter? So he came to the Hundred Flowers Banquet?】

When the Eighth Princess heard that there might be a murderer at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, her butt bounced up as if she was sitting on a pile of fire.

"This princess wants to go back to the princess's mansion!"

[It's so funny, this is the thief crying thief. 】

Those who can hear my voice: ???
