Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

Chapter 149 Can You Help Them Become Dark Horses?

"You need to prepare yourself mentally before getting beaten? It seems you're not experienced enough, and your skin isn't thick enough!"

Bai Yue rubbed his hands together as he spoke, and soon Yun Qingchi's slightly exaggerated cry for mercy was heard in the forest.

"Little sister-in-law, I haven't provoked you recently, why are you so "passionate" towards me as soon as we meet?"

Half a cup of tea later, Yun Qingchi rubbed his red cheeks and muttered with grievance in his eyes.

"Alas, as the saying goes, 'beating is love, scolding is care'. The reason I 'love' you so much is because the love between us uncle and sister-in-law is as deep as the sea!"

"If you think it's not enough, I don't mind stretching my muscles a little more. It's raining on this day, so I'm just going to do something else anyway!"

"No, no, no, no, your love is deep enough, my little brother has fully experienced it!"

Yun Qingchi was so scared that he quickly shrank his neck, while Bai Yue restrained his smile and spoke to him seriously.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Seriously, I have something serious to discuss with you."

"Actually, I'm a little short on cash lately, and I'd like to borrow some money from you for an emergency..."

Before Bai Yue finished speaking, Yun Qingchi had already opened his arms generously and spoke with a look of willingness to sacrifice himself.

"Oh, little sister-in-law, are you planning to rob me again? No problem, I'll give you my body, and as for the money, take it!"

"The money I'm borrowing is not a small amount. The little change in your pocket might not even be enough to cover it!"

Bai Yue looked at Yun Qingchi's heroic face and couldn't help but said with a smile.

"Oh? How much silver does the Emperor's sister-in-law want to borrow?"

Yun Qingchi raised his brows slightly, his curiosity completely aroused.

"Well, about thirty thousand taels of silver!"

"Thirty thousand taels?! Little sister-in-law, are you planning to start a new family? You actually need so much money?"

Yun Qingchi widened his eyes, looking incredulous.

"Actually, I want to build an orphanage..."

Bai Yue briefly described her plan to Yun Qingchi.

"Your Majesty's idea is truly beneficial to the country and the people, but why did you suddenly come up with this idea?"

Yun Qingchi looked at Bai Yue and asked with a smile.

"Oh, I was just chatting with my maids and learned that last year's epidemic left many children alone and helpless. I felt very sympathetic towards their plight, so I thought about helping them a little!"

"Oh, that's why the Empress-in-law is so reluctant to even change her clothes. Her goal is to save money to run this orphanage!"

Yun Qingchi looked at Bai Yue with gentle eyes and said.

"So I'm wondering why you all remember the same item of clothing so accurately!"

Just as Bai Yue was secretly complaining about these people's strange focus, Yun Qingchi suddenly sighed loudly.

"Alas, I also want to fully support the Empress's good deeds, but unfortunately, I am tied up in various tasks and my funds are stretched..."

"Huh? You, a prince, are still crying poor? I remember your annual salary is at least tens of thousands of taels!"

"Although my salary is high, it can't cover these 'flowing water' expenses. Dozens of people in Prince Hui's mansion all rely on my salary to make ends meet. Little sister-in-law, you don't manage the household, so perhaps you don't know the difficulties of being the head of household!"

A helpless smile appeared between Yun Qingchi's brows, and Bai Yue quickly took over the conversation, speaking with a bit of sincerity in her tone.

"Yun Qingchi, don't worry. I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of others. After my dowry is sent back from Wu Lie, I will definitely give it all to you. I will never let you suffer any loss!"

"Unfortunately, I don't have that much cash right now..."

"But if the Empress is determined to do so, I do have a 'devious idea'!"

Seeing Bai Yue's slightly disappointed look, Yun Qingchi pretended to be mysterious and moved closer to her, lowering his voice.

"My father and mother have deposited some money with His Majesty for me to get married. If you're willing to condescend to be my Princess Hui, that money... Hey, sister-in-law, calm down, calm down! I was just saying it casually, just joking!"

Seeing Bai Yue’s fist slightly raised, Yun Qingchi quickly raised his hands in surrender and raised his voice a few degrees, fearing that he would be "accidentally injured" if he was a second late.

"Actually, what I want to say is, why don't we join in the fun at today's gambling game? As long as we win, we'll definitely make a killing!"

"gambling?"

"That's right, this is the hidden gem in the polo feast. In every match, you can bet on the team. As long as that team wins, you will naturally win the corresponding bet money!"

Seeing that Bai Yue was interested, Yun Qingchi began to explain in vivid detail.

"And different teams have different payout ratios. Strong teams have lower payout ratios, while weak teams have higher payout ratios. So if a dark horse emerges from a weak team, the silver it wins will definitely be enough for you, Little Princess, to build three or four orphanages!"

"Hey, tell me, which weak team do you want me to help win the game?"

When Bai Yue heard Yun Qingchi's hidden meaning in his words, she couldn't help but smile.

"Oh, my clever little sister-in-law is indeed so quick to grasp things! This team I'm talking about has been ranked last for three consecutive years. I think with the help of my little sister-in-law, they might even have a chance to make it to the semi-finals!"

"Oh, why just make it to the semi-finals? Don't you want them to win the championship?"

"Oh, as long as my brother Emperor Cheng and his two good friends are here, the top spot will definitely not be taken by anyone else!"

Yun Qingjie shrugged helplessly, obviously thinking that what Bai Yue said was like a fairy tale.

"Okay, then take me to meet that team. I want to see how bad they are and how they've been ranked last for three consecutive years!"

Originally, Bai Yue thought that Yun Qingchi might just be exaggerating, but when she actually saw the three people in that team, she couldn't help but sigh that getting these three into the top four was indeed harder than climbing to the sky.

"Oh, Prince Hui, you've come at a perfect time! We were just about to hear Qiming tell us about the horrific massacre that happened in North City this morning!"

The chubby one among the three looked at Yun Qingchi and said happily.

"Oh? A family massacre? Tell me about it quickly so I can hear it."

Yun Qingchi glanced at Wu Qiming, who was wearing delicate makeup, and the other party raised a finger and said mysteriously.

"I heard about this from the servants who went out to buy things this morning. They said that five bloody heads were found at the gate of Jingzhao Yin Mansion this morning!"

"Next to the head were the characters 'Acting on Behalf of Heaven' engraved in large letters. The Jingzhao Yin was so frightened by the sight of these heads that his face turned pale. He quickly sent his men to investigate which daring lunatic had done this."

"A clever officer recognized the only intact head as a swindler from the north. When the officers arrived at the scene, the scene was like the gates of hell opening. It was terrifying!"
