After the system ran, I took off with my family

Lin Shuyue looked up at the azure sky, feeling the spring breeze blowing on her face with great pleasure. She thought that it would be even better if it was night time now. It would be stunning to stand here and look at the sky full of stars.

Just as the group was quietly gazing into the distance, there was suddenly a noise at the door, and then a man in brocade clothes came in.

The man glanced around, then looked at Qin Zhizhou and his group, then walked up to the three people who were already sitting by the window and whispered something.

The three men were stunned at first, then stood up happily, bowed, and followed the man out.

After everyone left, Qin Zhiyan asked in a low voice: "Brother, who is this person?"

"It's someone close to the Second Prince."

He had met the second prince in the Imperial College, and this person was following the second prince.

Qin Zhizhou frowned, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Manzhen, Manyin, Ayue, come here and stand behind us."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Zhiyan and Qin Zhihe immediately put away their smiles and stood on Qin Zhizhou's left and right.

Although Qin Manzhen and the other two were a little confused, they still obediently stood behind them.

Soon, it became quiet outside and four people came in.

The one walking in front was a young man wearing a jade crown and brocade clothes. Half a step behind him was a girl in red. Behind the girl was a slightly plump young man with a smile on his face. The last of the two was the man who had just come in.

When Qin Zhizhou saw the four people, he quickly exchanged a glance with his two younger brothers, then knelt down and said respectfully: "Qin Zhizhou/Qin Zhiyan/Qin Zhihe greets His Highness and Princess Shengyang."

The Qin sisters and Lin Shuyue behind the three also knelt down.

"Oh? It's Zhizhou. Please stand up quickly!"

The second prince gave them a helping hand and helped them stand up.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Then several people stood up.

As soon as they stood up, the girl in red stepped forward and stared at Qin Zhizhou who was lowering his head unscrupulously, asking: "Are you Qin Zhizhou? The first in the Class A of the Imperial College?"

Qin Zhizhou lowered his eyes to look at the ground and replied respectfully: "My Lord, it is me."

The red-dressed girl raised her eyebrows and said, "Then raise your head and let me see it."

Qin Zhizhou's heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his head even lower, but his tone was neither humble nor arrogant: "My Lord, I dare not offend your eyes."

"I told you to raise your head, so why are you talking so much nonsense?"

The girl in red seemed to have not expected Qin Zhizhou to refuse, and glared at him angrily.

The scene was a bit deadlocked for a moment, and Qin Zhiyan and others lowered their heads, suppressing their inner anger.

At this time, the Second Prince, who seemed to have just come back to his senses after looking at the scenery, smiled and tapped Princess Shengyang's forehead, "Girl, you are still so impatient."

After that, he said to Qin Zhizhou, "Zhizhou, Shengyang heard me talk about you, so she is a little curious about you. She has an impatient temper and speaks bluntly, so please don't be offended, Zhizhou."

"cousin…"

Princess Shengyang stamped her feet in anger.

"Zhi Zhou doesn't dare."

Qin Zhizhou still lowered his eyes.

The Second Prince said nothing more, but just smiled. When he saw Lin Shuyue behind him, his eyes lit up instantly, but then he restrained his expression, fanned himself and asked casually, "Who are these three girls?"

Upon hearing the voice, Princess Shengyang also looked at the three people. After seeing Lin Shuyue's appearance clearly, her expression immediately turned cold and she stared at her with gloomy eyes.

Lin Shuyue noticed her malicious gaze and felt amused and speechless.

"To answer your question, it is my sister."

The Second Prince's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his easygoing smile.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Qin Zhizhou bowed and said, "Your Highness, we will not disturb your Highness and the princess's interest. Zhizhou will take his leave."

The second prince stared at him for a few moments, nodded, and walked to the window to look into the distance.

Qin Zhizhou bowed again with his younger brothers and sisters and then left quietly.

As soon as they came out, Qin Zhizhou and others went downstairs silently. After going down a few floors, they slowly relaxed.

Qin Zhiyan looked around and confirmed that there was no one else before he said angrily, "That Princess Shengyang actually humiliated my brother like this. She is so arrogant."

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."

When they reached the tenth floor, Qin Manyin went inside to pick up Luo Peiwan, and the group went downstairs of the Zhaixing Tower.

Qin Manyin was in a bad mood. She said a few words to Luo Peiwan and left with her brothers.

It was almost noon when they came out of Yanguiju. Qin Zhizhou looked at the busy streets, then turned to look at his unhappy brothers and sisters, and chuckled, "I heard that Shiweizhai in the south of the city has new dishes. Shall we go and try them?"

At this moment, Qin Zhiyan and the others instantly perked up and looked at him with bright eyes: "Brother, you treat us?"

Shiweizhai is not cheap. One meal can cost them a month's salary.

"Why not?"

Qin Zhizhou's eyes were filled with smiles.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Several people excitedly got on the carriage and headed south of the city.

On the way there, Qin Manyin listed to Lin Shuyue all the restaurants in Beijing that had great food that she had visited, such as Xuanmenlou, Shiweizhai, Honghelou in the outer city, and Jinweilou and Qingfengzhai in the inner city.

Among them, the most expensive one in the outer city is Shiweizhai, which is the property of Princess Pingyang's Mansion.

"Does the princess have many properties in Beijing?" Lin Shuyue was a little curious.

Qin Manzhen nodded: "Yes, not only Shiweizhai, but also Ningxiang Pavilion, Jinhua Manor, and Linlang Pavilion, are all properties of the Princess's Mansion. There is also an imperial manor in the suburbs of Beijing that is also registered under the Princess's name, not to mention those manors outside the city."

Lin Shuyue couldn't help but smack her lips after hearing this. This princess is not just wealthy, her wealth might be even richer than the national treasury.

"but..."

Qin Manzhen lowered her voice and said, "Every year on the Emperor's birthday, the eldest princess would send several large boxes of things to the Emperor. Some people say that the boxes are filled with white silver ingots and various rare treasures."

"That's why the emperor dotes on Princess Shengyang so much." Qin Manyin added.

At this point, Qin Manzhen reminded: "By the way, Ayue, Princess Shengyang might have set her sights on you. You should be careful during this period and bring more people with you when you go out."

"Yes, yes, yes, Ah Yue, you just came to the capital and you don't know. She is notoriously domineering and vicious. Last month, during the Flower Festival, Princess Yuan'an held a flower-viewing banquet. The daughter of the Minister of Revenue accidentally wore the same color clothes as her, and she threw her into the lake."

Qin Manyin gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Another time, the wife of Lord Li, the Junior Secretary of the Guanglu Temple, took her daughter to the Fohua Temple to burn incense. Somehow, they met Princess Shengyang, and Lord Li's ten-year-old concubine's daughter was directly disfigured by her with a whip.

It was just because the girl was pretty that she was jealous, and after hitting someone she turned the tables and said it was the girl who bumped into her."

Lin Shuyue frowned: "Does the princess not care if she behaves this way? And do the officials in the Imperial Censorate have no objection?"
