Chi Yuan finally took his eyes off Shen Yulou.
He withdrew his hands from Shen Yulou's shoulders and turned to leave.
But he stopped in front of Shen Yuchen.
He looked Shen Yuchen up and down, and finally his gaze lingered on the red lips on his face.
"It's not a good sign that the Second Young Master Shen is already frequenting brothels at such a young age."
"I need to have Prime Minister Shen properly discipline his second son."
Chi Yuan's threatening words clearly failed to frighten the child of this age; instead, they aroused his rebellious spirit.
"I don't hang out with girls. This was given to me by my handsome brother. You're all jealous of me because you don't have any!"
Shen Yuchen stood with her hands on her hips, her small face puffed up with anger, and she lunged forward as if she wanted to spit on Chi Yuan.
"Oh? Is that so?" Chi Yuan smiled inexplicably after hearing this.
But this made Shen Yuchen inexplicably a little scared.
"Humility"
"exist"
"Issue the order: the Second Young Master Shen has spoken arrogantly to me. Tomorrow, have Prime Minister Shen send him to the palace along with the Eldest Young Master Shen to learn etiquette."
As soon as Chi Yuan finished speaking, he turned and left with a flourish.
Shen Yuchen could even see the disdain and schadenfreude in his tone.
Shen Yulou: "..." This stupid younger brother!
He went to the palace specifically to find his husband. What was Shen Yuchen doing in the palace? Just to watch his brother get taken by the emperor? He'd be devastated!
My poor second son of the Shen family...
Well, considering he was sent to the palace to protect him, I'll comfort him properly later.
Shen Yulou shook his head helplessly, his gaze towards Shen Yuchen unconsciously carrying a hint of pity and protection.
Shen Yuchen: "..." It's one thing for the dog emperor to look at it with such a strange look, but why does my brother look at it so strangely too?
I'm so angry! I'm so angry!
At this moment, Prime Minister Shen was handling official business at the Prime Minister's residence, while his wife was chatting with her close friends from childhood about gossip in the capital.
They booked a private room at the most luxurious restaurant in the capital, playing cards while watching the group of young men through the huge window, occasionally commenting on the young masters and ladies of certain families, and then reminiscing about their own youth.
A group of ladies played cards until sunset. As soon as they stepped out of their private room, they heard a storyteller on the first floor telling a story with great emotion. A group of people sat around him, constantly throwing him silver coins as tips.
That's right, this is a sign that fresh gossip has emerged in Beijing!
You see, the capital city is a large and luxurious place, home to many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and also the place with the most gossip, which spreads the fastest.
The ladies, wondering what big event was about to happen, hurriedly squeezed in to listen.
"Speaking of this afternoon, our famous most beautiful woman in the capital, the eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Yulou, appeared at the Jinshi's tour of the capital in a stunning red dress."
"While everyone was distracted, Young Master Shen slipped into the crowd and with a flick of his wrist, tossed the peony flower from his head into His Majesty's palanquin with a 'whoosh'."
"But Young Master Shen later explained that he had accidentally smashed the wrong one."
Madam Shen's pupils dilated in shock, and the other ladies covered their faces in astonishment.
"Was Young Master Shen doing this on purpose? Who can hit something so accurately?"
Some people voiced their speculation.
“Yes, yes, I took a whole sack of flowers and aimed carefully, but I didn’t hit His Majesty with a single one.” The young master next to him nodded vigorously, thinking that Shen Yulou had done it on purpose.
"Not necessarily. This kind of thing isn't something Young Master Shen can control. What if he accidentally knocks it off course?" A girl protested, speaking up to defend Shen Yulou.
"If it's this far-fetched, then it must be a destiny!" Some people started to have wild thoughts.
"Please be patient, everyone, and let me finish." The storyteller took a sip of tea, calming the crowd.
"Speaking of which, His Majesty wasn't even annoyed when he was hit by a flower..."
