THE CROWN PRINCE'S GOLDEN CONSORT

Jiangxi casino 1

Zhongshan Shuang could already guess the possible outcome just from his cousin's facial expressions. Since he was bound to failure he might as well go all in. Zhongshan Shuang left his seat and on his knees grabbed onto Zhongshan Huang arm and cried out  "Elder brother please don't do that. If  you report me it might as well mean death"

Zhongshan Huang was getting embarrassed by what was happening as everyone turned to see what was going on that he said trying to fling Zhongshan Shuang hands away "Shameless, let go"

"No" Zhongshan Shuang said shaking his hard looking wronged. Zhongshan Huang kept trying to get Zhongshan Shuang's hands off his but he couldn't, Instead Zhongshan Shuang head on tightly and crying even louder "No no no no"

Zhongshan Huang didn't know what else he could do. Zhongshan Shuang didn't budge no matter what he did that sighing he said "Let go, Shuang or I won't pay for your drinks"

"Really? Zhongshan Shuang asked looking Zhongshan Huang in the eyes.

"Yes" Zhongshan Huang replied exasperated. He could never understand how he was ever related to this Shameless cousin of his.

"Oh, thanks Elder brother Huang" Zhongshan Shuang said standing and returning back to his seat smiling slyly. He quickly signaled a waiter to serve them before His cousin changed his mind

"Order for everyone we have to keep up with appearances" Zhongshan Huang instructed and looked down at the ground floor of the casino.

A few minutes later the server delivered their order and Zhongshan Shuang grabbed a jar of wine, unsealed it and pulling it to his nose took the scent, poured himself a cup and began drinking.

"If only you can take your duties as important as you take wine" Zhongshan Huang said as he observed his cousin.

"Now elder brother everyone must not be as serious as you. I am a man poetic at heart you know" Zhongshan Shuang replied smiling.

"Shameless, you will have to perform your duties sooner or later. Sixth aunt has been complaining to mother. It's only a matter of time" Zhongshan Huang said

"My mother shouldn't worry herself with me after all my elder brother has been married for three years now and he still doesn't have a child" Zhongshan Shuang replied.

"What makes you think that she isn't worried about you. That's part of the reason that she is so concerned about your marriage" Zhongshan Huang said giving Zhongshan Shuang a light knock on his head.

"Elder brother, am no longer a child" Zhongshan Huang said pouting.

"Oh so you agree that you have finally grown up. I think sixth aunt would be overjoyed with this development" Zhongshan Huang replied jokenly.

Zhongshan Shuang was about to say a few more words to when he heard the the sounds of heated argument.  Soon the doors were opened and a small crowded lead by two men and a woman all dressed in black. Manager Li walked forward and after welcoming them he directed then to their seats.

"Who are they" Zhongshan Huang asked looking at his cousin.

"These are members of the Cheng clan of the pugilistic world, that's the eldest young master and his younger brother and sister" Zhongshan Shuang replied.

"The Imperial family does not get involved in the pugilistic world. How do you know so much about this your highness" Zhang Shirong said.

"Like you said the imperial Royal family doesn't get involved in the pugilistic world so I get my information from teahouses. You would be surprised what one can find out just by visiting a teahouse" Zhongshan Shuang replied smiling.

"only you will know that considering how much free time you have in your hands" Lei Yongliang said.

"Heh, elder brother Yongliang I sometimes attend poetry appreciation held in tea houses" Zhongshan Shuang replied.

"Aren't those held once a month" Zhongshan Cheng said.

"Zhongshan Cheng you traitor" Zhongshan Shuang said looking hurt and pointing at his cousin. The both of them were the same age and were very close.

"if I remember correctly no so long ago brother Shuang was infatuated with the female poetry champion Lady Xie who always frequented a particular tea house" Lei Yongliang said chuckling softly.

"That's true it's a pity that you were rejected. Xiao Ting was very happy to here that" Zhongshan Cheng said pulling his cousin's legs.

"How did that shrew find out about that, now I'll never life that down" Zhongshan Shuang replied pouting. Everyone knows that he and Yun TingTing never got along.

"I have no idea how she found out but considering how close she is to sixth aunt it's no surprise if she heard it from your mother" Zhongshan Cheng said thoughtfully.

"Hmmph She definitely had a field day laughing at me. I don't know what mother sees in her" Zhongshan Shuang said.

"A potential daughter in law" Lei Yongliang replied smiling smugly.

"Who is also they only granddaughter of General Yun you could not do better than that"Zhongshan Huang said finally he had been silent until now.

"Not very fair elder brother Huang I am a catch you know" Zhongshan Shuang said in his defense. He could already guess why elder brother Huang said this. His mother and the Empress definitely seemed to want a match between him and the Shrew.

"Not according to Miss Xie" Zhongshan Huang said with a straight face one would think he was talking about a Buddhist scripture and not teasing his cousin. Lei Yongliang and the rest quickly began to laugh.

Zhongshan Shuang was about to continue when the sound of drums were heard drawing their attention to the stage. A lady dressed in a pink short blouse that revealed her midriff and a pink long trouser soon began dancing down from the roof to the stage holding two pink sheer cottons tied to the roof. As soon as she dropped on the stage people began clapping and praising the beauty.
