it jealous"Feng Lingxi coldly scanned over, "The vinegar is sour and unpleasant, I don't like it.""Feng Ling Xi, if this king were to sleep with another woman, you wouldn't care"Feng Lingxi thought ab..."Xier."
"What do you think" said Dugu Cheng, looking at her.
Feng Lingxi glanced around. “It’s been a long time since I’ve been back. I don’t even know which restaurant in the capital serves the best food now. I wouldn't want to go to his territory.”
"Yehxi, go ask."
Du Gu Cheng spoke, Ye Xi hurriedly ran over like a loyal dog to inquire, and soon came back, "My Lord, My Lady, I inquired about it, it's Yi Pin Xiang."
Then let's go to Yipinxiang first. It's rare for me to be back in Beijing, this time my mother will cover all the expenses for food and drinks.
Feng Lingxi smiled softly, looking at Wan'er's chubby little face, "Whatever my Wan'er likes to eat, we'll eat."
"Thank you, Mother."
This city's Yi Pin Xiang is an old-fashioned restaurant, with three floors up and down. It's always crowded with guests, the business is extremely hot.
Finally getting a seat, the group settled in. Ye Xi and Xiao Li also sat down, treating each other as equals rather than master and servant. This was done to avoid attracting attention from others.
However, Xiaoli and Yexi's seats were also very carefully chosen, with their positions considered quite deliberately.
"I heard that after Prince Chen returned to the capital, the Emperor didn't summon him. Now, Prince Chen truly doesn't have the glory he once had. I heard it myself, Prince Chen really doesn't have any connections anymore. The officials in this court are either loyal to the Emperor or to Prince Yu. Prince Chen has completely fallen from grace."
Isn't that right It was once so glorious, and now it's fallen into such disrepair. To have to support 500,000 soldiers in a remote backwater like Linxi County, without even the means to feed them properly... I wouldn't want to be in their shoes.
"Who said that's not true I heard it myself, this time inviting people to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday was her idea. Otherwise, the Emperor wouldn't have even planned on calling him to the capital."
"How come Prince Chen married a Saintess from the Yao Clan I heard that this Saintess doesn't have any status in the Yao Clan, just like a palace maid in the Imperial Palace. It's the Head of the Yao Clan who really holds the power."
Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi, listening to their comments, couldn't help but chuckle self-deprecatingly.
"Xier, it's been a while since you returned to the capital. It seems that in their eyes, we are really living poorly."
Feng Lingxi gave Wan'er vegetables, with a smile on his face.
"We were already living poorly, being able to eat and have a roof over our heads was considered good. Besides, they're right, you are nothing now. In the Yao clan, I am just an insignificant nobody."
"Xi'er is quite insightful, I agree. But it's a good thing."
Du Gu Cheng gave Feng Ling Xi some dishes, "It's rare for you to come back once, eat more."
"You too."
The couple served each other dishes, and Ye Xi on the side watched and also learned to serve Xiao Li. Xiao Li blushed and hurriedly lowered her head, pretending to be nonchalant and eating quietly.
"Mother, what are they eating It smells so good. Wan'er wants to eat some too."
Wǎn'er pointed at the golden roasted duck on the next table and just then, a waiter carrying a platter of roasted duck walked over. "Sir/Madam, this is the roasted duck you ordered. It’s a new dish from Yī Pǐn Xiāng," he said.
"We didn't order anything"
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City and saw him nod, confirming that they had not ordered this dish.
The young waiter pointed to the private room ahead, "That one inside was given to you by that customer, please enjoy."
Dugu City glanced at the private room over there and stood up, "Xi'er, I'll go take a look."
"Want me to accompany you"
Dugu Cheng gestured for her to sit, while he went into the private room. The door was covered, and like this first-class fragrance private room, there weren't many in this restaurant. To be able to eat in a private room here, one had to be either wealthy or noble, and not just anyone could book it.
Dugu Cheng knocked on the door. The door opened, and when the person who opened it saw Dugu Cheng, they made a gesture of invitation. Dugu Cheng walked in and sat down. At the dinner table, the man's face was handsome and extraordinary. He wore a white robe and moved with elegance. His appearance was very unfamiliar. Seeing Dugu Cheng, he smiled slightly and said, "Prince Chen, please take a seat."
"How did this young master learn of my identity" This person he could certainly say that he had never met before, this person's behavior and demeanor were all different from others, but he didn't know him.
"I am Lu Nian, leisurely cloud and wild crane. Without any business, I happened to wander here and heard that King Chen is returning to the capital. So I thought of inviting King Chen for a meal together. I wonder if King Chen would be willing"
>
Dugu Cheng looked at Lu Nian's attire, it was no worse than that of a prince. With this appearance and temperament, she couldn't possibly be from an ordinary family.
"Upon my return to the capital, everyone shunned me. Lu Xiong, surely you are not a subject of the Yuan Dynasty"
Lu Nian smiled and nodded. "Indeed not."
Dugu Cheng took his seat. Lu Nian poured him a cup of wine, her eyes observing Dugu Cheng subtly. Dugu Cheng noticed her gaze and was curious why Lu Nian had sought him out.
"Greetings, Prince Chen."
Dugu Cheng raised his wine cup and clinked it with Lu Nian's. After taking a sip, Lu Nian spoke, "Is that woman outside your Queen Feng Lingxi"
"Lu Xi is interested in this king's queen"
Lu Nian smiled. "On my journey here, the most I heard about this Great Yuan Dynasty was your couple's story. No wonder, your queen is truly a legendary woman, quite enviable."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Cheng raised an eyebrow, clearly displeased with his fondness for Xi'er.
"Lu, have you met Xi'er"
"I saw her just now. I've been observing her here for a long time, and I found that she is quite different from what people say. She gives me the impression of a virtuous and caring wife."
"Once married, one naturally assumes the role of a virtuous wife and good mother."
獨孤城越來越不喜歡他對兮兒評價，兮兒是賢惠還是如何，這都是他的女人，與他有什麼關係。
Lu Nian noticed the sourness in Dugu City's tone and frowned.
Suddenly smiled.
"Is the Crown Prince jealous, afraid I'll steal women from you"
"Xier and this King have been married for many years, how could this King and Xier's feelings be afraid of you taking her away."
Dugu Cheng's words were increasingly laced with jealousy.
Lu Nian chuckled inwardly, luckily it wasn't Lu Ze who came this time. Otherwise, I'm afraid this Dugu City would have gotten into a fight with Lu Ze.
"I'd heard that the Crown Prince and his Princess had a deep love, but there were also rumors of their separation. I wonder if they have reconciled"
“Of course it’s alright, that’s just how we do things, we wouldn’t really break up.”
Dugu Cheng had grown tired of asking Lu Nian and Xi'er questions. He was getting frustrated.
"A chance meeting like this, today's meal is on me."
Dugu Cheng took out a silver ingot and got up to leave, but Lu Nian stopped him.
"Prince Chen, all these incense burners belong to me. If you like them in the future, feel free to come and take some."
Lu Nian's words surprised Dugu Cheng, who looked at Lu Nian, "You are the owner of Yipinxiang"
Lu Nian nodded and smiled, "It's a pity you're not in the capital. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind sending you this incense."
To open with an invitation to the winehouse, such a manner speaks of great wealth and generosity. Dugu City reconsidered this Lu Nian.cold eyes swept over the people behind the coroner. Those who were glanced at by Feng Lingxi, frightened, immediately stepped back, as if she would really dissect them."If none of you are willing, th...
