[Hehe~~~ General Tian Xuezhou, the Grand General of Chariots and Cavalry, must have learned something somewhere; he's become incredibly gentle in bed, making Madam Tian feel like she's in heaven!]
Everyone: How exactly does it feel like being in heaven?
curious...
I want to learn!
Really? I never expected that even a military general like him could become so gentle.
[That's right, the Tian couple are very sweet together now! Mrs. Tian really enjoys spending her nights with General Tian these days, and they've explored so many different positions together!]
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingzhu's eyes lit up!
It would be great if we could watch videos!
This is seems fantastic, she can't miss out!
[Guagua, please explain in detail. It would be great if we could watch a video; just listening is so boring!]
The Hanlin Academy colleagues nodded repeatedly.
Just listening isn't interesting, if...
Is there anyone who has a good relationship with General Tian?
So that we can communicate more!
Some of them don't seem to get along very well in that area either, they need to learn from him.!
[Oh dear, host, how should I put this! Well, General Tian obtained a copy of the Blissful Manual, hehe, you know the rest, right?]
[Guagua, I don't understand!]
This little guy's head is full of yellow garbage now!
She's been contaminated!
She took a big bite of the fried chicken leg, it was so delicious!
[Host, host, who do you want to know about? I'll tell you!]
She was at the Hanlin Academy and thought of Su Huaiyuan, who was nearby. Since he wasn't there, she decided to go for him!
[Guagua, tell me about Grand Secretary Su Huaiyuan. He seems like a refined and elegant gentleman.]
As soon as Su Huaiyuan entered, he heard Shen Mingzhu saying she wanted to gossip about him.
Furthermore, each of the Hanlin scholars had a plate of pastries on their table, and they were all moving slowly, clearly eavesdropping.
"Cough cough cough!!!"
Upon seeing Su Huaiyuan, everyone quickly got to work.
Su Huaiyuan, at the tender age of twenty, was the top scholar in the imperial examination of the sixteenth year of the Jingyuan era. His exceptional talent made him the youngest top scholar during Emperor Jingyuan's reign to date.
[I never knew Scholar Su was so amazing!]
Su Huaiyuan straightened his back and looked at everyone with a smug expression.
You flatter me!
[Host, let me tell you, this Su Huaiyuan is not only highly learned, but also comes from a good family. He is the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and is also the study companion of Crown Prince Yan Beichen. Don't worry, he's on your side.]
Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes inwardly after hearing this.
[Guagua, watch your words! I am the Crown Princess appointed by Emperor Jingyuan. The entire world belongs to the Emperor; we are all subjects of Great Yan, and we all belong to His Majesty's side! Including me and the Crown Prince!]
Scholars: We didn't realize that Shen Mingzhu was so eloquent.
Su Huaiyuan: Well said!
Unconsciously, Shen Mingzhu felt that Su Huaiyuan had arranged for her to be in the office next to his own to take care of her.
Now that I know the cause and effect, I understand!
Su Huaiyuan was very anxious, knowing that the Crown Prince was unconscious.
Thinking that she was going to see Crown Prince Yan Beichen today, she planned to invite Su Huaiyuan to go with her later.
I believe he would be very willing to go with us.
[Guagua, are you still there? Let's continue with the gossip about Scholar Su.]
[Yes, host. This Scholar Su has been with the Crown Prince and Prince Lin since he began his studies; the three are inseparable, practically an iron triangle. This time, Prince Lin went to the frontier with the Crown Prince, and he dealt with many political maneuvers in court, almost to the point of selling himself into servitude!]
[Haha, selling himself? What's going on?]
Upon hearing this, Su Huaiyuan shuddered. He knew he must never let anyone know about such an embarrassing incident.
He strode forward and banged on the door.
"Grand Scholar Su, my master is working, please do not disturb him."
Peony was somewhat displeased. She and Shen Weiming (Long Er) were still standing there when someone knocked on the door, interrupting their enthusiasm for eating melons with the young lady.
"Hehe, I have something to discuss with Lord Shen."
Sure enough, Shen Mingzhu inside stopped eating melon seeds, wiped her hands with a wet wipe, opened the door and came out.
Scholars: Scholar Su is still the most cunning. As soon as he heard that someone was going to talk about his gossip, he immediately stopped them.
Everyone looked in this direction.
Noticing everyone's gaze, Shen Mingzhu looked back, and everyone immediately lowered their heads to work again.
"Lord Su."
"Lord Shen! There are some documents here that need to be reordered. Everyone has taken their share, and this one belongs to Shen Mingzhu."
Shen Mingzhu looked at the thick stack of documents in front of her, her face full of displeasure, but she still forced herself to stay focused.
"Okay."
After returning to her office, she put the documents down.
[Guagua, this is so annoying! Why do I still have to work? I'm just here to make up the numbers! Can anyone help me?]
[Host, the tutor Zhou who went with Prince An is diligent and hardworking. You could consider asking him for help. Tell him that Prince An left behind a jade pendant when he left, and the pendant is located in a hidden compartment on the lower right side of the bed where his mother slept before she passed away! In exchange, he will help you with the work, and you will help him find his relatives!]
Scholars: Oh dear, we've found the token!
Zhou Shiyu can now go and acknowledge his relatives!
But didn't he go out with Prince An?
By this time, they should have already recognized each other as family, right?
A commoner adoptive father versus a royal father—which would you choose?
Most people would choose their biological father, right?
Moreover, Prince An was born of the same mother as Emperor Jingyuan, and Emperor Jingyuan doted on this younger brother!
[Guagua, this is something to consider!]
Oh right, she should go see the Crown Prince. After that, she should hurry back for lunch and then make sure she doesn't miss her beauty sleep.
"Creak—"
Shen Mingzhu opened the door to her office and smiled as she knocked on the door of Su Huaiyuan's office.
"Scholar Su?"
"Lord Shen, what is it?"
Shen Mingzhu smiled sweetly.
"Grand Scholar Su, I'm planning to visit the Crown Prince. Would you like to come along?"
"I'm not very familiar with the Crown Prince's residence. I heard that you were once the Crown Prince's study companion. Could you please take me there?"
She finished speaking and gave a gentle smile.
Please accept! Please accept! Please accept!
Listening to Shen Mingzhu's inner monologue, Su Huaiyuan smiled.
"Yes, Lord Shen, please wait a moment while I pack up, and then we'll go to the Crown Prince's residence together."
"Okay, thank you, Scholar Su. You are so kind, a truly good person!"
Su Huaiyuan: Thank you so much!
...
Soon the two arrived at the Crown Prince's residence. The steward, Granny Gui, was the Crown Prince's wet nurse and was very familiar with Su Huaiyuan.
Upon seeing the two, he smiled and bowed.
"Lord Su, Lord Shen."
Looking at the middle-aged woman in front of her, Shen Mingzhu frowned slightly.
Su Huaiyuan greeted him with a smile.
"How has Granny Gui been lately?"
"Much okay, much better! Thank you for your concern, Lord Su."
The group chatted as they walked toward the courtyard where Crown Prince Yan Beichen was.
"Lord Su, Lord Shen, the Crown Prince has been recuperating at the Moxuan Courtyard since returning to the capital."
"Yes, let's go in and take a look. Granny Gui, you can go and do your work."
Su Huaiyuan told the others to leave, and he went inside with Shen Mingzhu.
Actually, he also had his own selfish motives, to see if Shen Mingzhu could wake up Crown Prince Yan Beichen quickly.
Looking at the Crown Prince Yan Beichen, who was somewhat thin but still very handsome due to his coma, Shen Mingzhu was very satisfied.
