After the prince and Menghong returned to the palace this time, they all had something on their minds, and the prince still remembered that the emperor had taught him not to be difficult in any situation, not to mention that this Xue Bolian was also determined, so even if he persuaded him to come back, it was useless, and when he met Xue Shu today, this Xue Shu is quite like inheriting Xue Bolian's temperament, once the matter is decided, it is the kind that ten carriages can't pull back.

recalled the woman who was born very beautiful, said that she was a maidservant, but she won the favor of the prince, and she went out of the palace again one day, he still wanted to see the woman, but the prince's age was actually about the same age as Xue Shu, and there was a rule in the palace that when the princes reached twenty, it meant that they had reached the age of choosing a concubine, but unfortunately this prince did not know Mu Xiang's age, after all, the people who were elected as concubines in the palace were fourteen or five years old, and they had to have a family background.

According to this Mu Xiang's family background is obviously unlikely, just thinking of this, the prince still has a little regret in his heart, in the palace, the emperor has finished reading today's twists and turns to the fair: "Anyway, this Xu'er and Hong'er haven't come back yet?" ”

Yu Gonggong said: "Back to the emperor, the prince and the second princess have returned, but they have not come to the palace to ask for peace, the strange thing is that these two people seem to have their own hearts, and His Royal Highness the prince went to the prince's mansion after he came back, and the second princess also returned to her own palace, and I also heard that after the two princesses came back, they were still crying, very pitiful." ”

When the emperor heard this, his brows furrowed, "This, didn't this kid say that the outside is very good?" She can also evoke such an expression very well? ”

"This ...... The minions don't know either. ”

"This prince's side has passed slowly, as for this Hong'er, I want to go and see." After that, he walked towards the second princess's bedroom.

When Menghong saw the emperor coming, she immediately asked for peace, "The courtiers have seen their father." ”

The emperor just pursed his lips and said, "Get up." ”

Menghong got up at this time, and the emperor looked at the tears on Menghong's face that had not completely dried, and couldn't help frowning: "Hong'er, what's wrong with you?" Why do you cry every time you come back from outside the palace? ”

Menghong's heart was very uncomfortable, and she immediately threw herself into the emperor's arms and said, "Father! ”

On the other hand, it is a "eat well" restaurant, Xue Shu has already told Xue Bolian and Xiao Zhuyu about His Royal Highness the Prince Fang Cai coming to the restaurant, and suddenly Xiao Zhuyu's heart is also panicked, looking at Xue Bolian, Xue Bolian said: "This matter was said by the second princess herself." ”

"She didn't say it to her, it's just, father, mother, what do you say I should do?"

Xue Bolian said: "In my opinion, in this situation, even if you hide, you can't hide so much, but have you already told them to keep it secret?" ”

"It's already been said."

"Fortunately, we have all changed our clothes, and those officials can't see who we are, but we must be careful in the future, after all, once we know that our restaurant has been praised by the emperor in the future, the restaurant on the opposite side does not know what will come out, now, you and I have to remember who we are now, that is, ordinary businessmen."

"Yes, father."

The reason why Xue Bolian said this to Xue Shu was that the capital was not far from the "well-eaten" restaurant, and the owner of the restaurant opposite often had to go against them, perhaps because of jealousy, Xue Bolian didn't want Xiao Zhuyu to have a headache about this, so he still needed to think of how to deal with those people on the side, but fortunately, now Xue Shu can also share some of it for them.

Xue Shu said to Xue Bolian: "Father, the restaurant opposite has become more and more rampant recently, and it actually snatched more than half of the guest officers from us. ”

Xue Bolian frowned, naturally he was going to go there, but he was still a little uneasy to let Xue Shu go, "You go?" ”

"Exactly."

Xiao Zhuyu said: "We have always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and I don't want to be in such limelight, but I didn't expect to be targeted by competitors, this matter is probably very dissatisfied, but, Bo Lian, in fact, there is something unclear in the hearts of the slave family, why all restaurants will display lanterns during the Lantern Festival, but we don't participate, will this be a little unsatisfactory etiquette?" ”

Xue Bolian said: "Lantern and other things, I can enjoy it for myself, if you and Meng'er want to put the lantern together, then our family of three will go together to find a place to put the lantern, as for what their group of people want to put the lantern, it is nothing more than to want a good color, however, I have never believed this, I think just need to do your own business, why bother to join in such a lively way." ”

Xiao Zhuyu felt that Xue Bolian was reasonable, there were too many people there, and more importantly, there was no food available, the most important thing was to go there to watch the lanterns, in other words, she was so interested in these things, so she didn't have too many requirements, but it seemed that something was not right, "By the way, these people put the lanterns, it should be someone behind who presides." ”

"Yes."

"Do you know who it is?"

"It's the emperor, but the emperor never shows up, when that day comes, he will sit on a very luxurious carriage, watching the lanterns of others, he will not come down, and naturally no one knows what the emperor looks like."

Xiao Zhuyu couldn't help but laugh and said, "This emperor is still so mysterious. ”

Xue Bolian just laughed a little, and didn't say much, but said: "Actually, I let you wait for you not to participate in this kind of excitement, and another reason is that the other family always wants me to wait for me to participate in these lantern competitions, and let me wait for foreign appearances, but every year it will disappoint them, but recently somehow their arrogance is even worse, and they are also more arrogant, and even began to grab our guests here, presumably he must be in a hurry to be like this." ”

Xue Shu thought for a while and said: "They may be deliberately trying to provoke us, if we are really angry, then we will fall into their trap, and in the future, our business will not be as good as before, and it will slowly fade out of sight within a day." ”

Xue Bolian said: "These phenomena are relatively normal, the most feared thing is that he may have their spies on our side, drugged in our wine, or drugged in food, causing our reputation to be ruined, maybe we will have to suffer this life lawsuit, and I am afraid that I will not be able to wash it off by jumping into the Yellow River water at that time." ”
