Before Concubine Hui and Xia Ji arrived in Gusu, Wu Jiang received a notice from Prince Shoumeng to ask Caiyun Restaurant to prepare a dinner party, and told him that the emperor was going to entertain Princess Mingyue, his own sister who married to Chen Guo, and Princess Ji Shao, who married to Chen Guo from Zhengzhou.

Wu Jiang immediately gathered all the staff of the restaurant and arranged all the things related to the banquet.

Da Mao has not come back because he went to look for his sister, Chen Ermao and Ji Zhi brothers heard that the two princesses came from Zhuye, and they felt a little kind, and they had some homesickness after living in a different place.

Chen Ermao and Ji Zhi brothers are mainly in the kitchen, and will not have a chance to meet with guests, Wu Jiang is personally responsible for receiving the lobby, and Da Mao's wife Li Yue is in charge of female guests.

When it was time for the dinner, Wu Quqi and the Queen Mother, accompanied by Xia Ji and Concubine Hui, left Fengyi Palace and came to Caiyun Restaurant, which was not far from the palace.

Xia Ji was very nervous, thinking about the scene when she saw Qu Hao, and asked one question after another: Will he rush to her desperately? If so, how would she respond? Will he lose control when he sees Qu Hao? How can I prevent myself from losing my temper?

Xia Ji secretly warned herself: You must not reveal your true identity in front of everyone, and you must not give any hints to Qu Hao or Chen Damao's brothers and sisters in public.

Concubine Hui, who walked in front of Xia Ji, was dressed in a crimson cloud silk palace dress, her red was dazzling, and she was as thick as blood and descended; As for Xia Ji, she wore a green and daisy flowing veil, and the white silk mesh under the wide-brimmed hat made the whole face looming, and the whole person looked like a bend of clear stream.

Entering the lobby of the restaurant, Xia Ji can see the traces of modern daily life everywhere: rechargeable LED lights hanging from the ceiling, Moutai, Wuliangye, canned beer, Japanese sake and other alcoholic beverages in the display case, as well as many daily necessities, toys, and a wooden cabinet full of clothes.

The hall was already full of relatives and friends of the monarch Wu Quqi, Prince Fumeng led his younger brothers and sisters to greet the queen mother, the monarch's father and aunt, and Xia Ji followed Concubine Hui to enjoy the courtesy of the elders.

Although Natsuhime's face is only faintly visible behind the mesh, the bright eyes, delicate face, delicate and firm nose bridge, and small red cherry-like lips are still striking behind the mesh, which only hides a more stunning complexion.

And Xia Ji's deliberately low-key clothes can't hide the elegance and nobility of her gestures, dwarfing the female guests.

When Prince Fumeng saw Xia Ji, he was obviously deeply shocked by her appearance, and his eyes stared at Xia Ji obsessively, looking like a hungry wolf seeing its prey.

After seeing the prince and princess, Concubine Hui's other relatives and friends also came over, saluting and reminiscing with their Princess Mingyue one by one, and of course politely greeting Princess Ji Shao, those princes were secretly amazed when they saw Xia Ji's peerless face at close range.

Seeing relatives and friends, Concubine Hui was surprised by the rich products, and pulled Xia Ji over, and Xia Ji's eyes were focused on people, looking for familiar faces.

To Xia Ji's disappointment, no one she had ever seen, neither Qu Hao, who thought about it day and night, nor the three brothers and sisters of Da Mao.

The scene that she had thought about over and over again before did not appear, and Xia Ji was puzzled.

Concubine Hui bought a lot of things, but Xia Ji was a little distracted, so she hastily bought some daily necessities and asked the waiter to pack her bag and put it on the counter.

Wu Jiang and Li Yue, who greeted the guests in the lobby, had never seen Wu Mengyao, so they didn't feel anything unusual, plus there were many guests, and they didn't notice Xia Ji's disappointed expression.

The lobby is arranged for everyone to have their desks and seats, the Queen Mother is in the middle of the upper seat, the King and the Queen are seated next to the Queen Mother, and the other guests are seated on both sides, and the dishes and wines on the table have been arranged.

The gentleman first said a few words of welcome to the arrival of his sister Princess Mingyue and Princess Zheng Guo Ji Shao, and then held the wine to respect the first to do it, and the others also raised the wine to toast Princess Mingyue and Princess Ji Shao.

Xia Ji had taken off her mesh wide-brimmed hat at this time, and her beautiful complexion and beautiful face were clearly displayed in front of everyone, which made these princesses and concubines ashamed.

Prince Fumeng was even more reluctant since he saw Xia Ji, and he only hated that he didn't know that Princess Zheng Guo was so beautiful before, so that Chen Guosima could take the lead.

After one round of dishes, the second course begins. The guys who served the dishes at the palace banquet were all served by the king's royal guards to ensure the safety of the dishes.

Xia Ji felt strange while eating, the modern supplies in this restaurant were obviously from Qu Hao's truck, why didn't Qu Hao's shadow appear?

Could it be that the people of Wu Guo found the truck and brought these things over by themselves? But this doesn't make sense, and the shopkeeper in Hanyue said that the restaurants in Hanyue and Gusu are all run by Wu Rong's younger brother.

Jun Shang Wu went to Qi today with a lot of interest, and the arrival of Princess Mingyue and Princess Ji Shao made him very happy, and told them that he would ask them to go and get something again, and he would be responsible for the expenses.

After the banquet, the king left first, and the others also said goodbye to Princess Mingyue and Princess Ji Shao one after another, only Prince Fumeng was reluctant to get up.

Xia Ji left her seat and came to the counter, and asked Wu Jiang who was standing at the counter, "Sir, but you are the boss here?"

Wu Jiang bowed and said, "Exactly, in Wujiang." I don't know what Princess Ji Shao commanded? ”

Wu Jiang knew all the members of the royal family, so he also deduced who the other party was.

"Oh, I had dinner at the Caiyun Restaurant in Hanyue the day before yesterday, and I was impressed, and I heard the shopkeeper say that the Caiyun Restaurant in Gusu is the same boss as Hanyue, so I came to ask." Natsuhime said.

"The presence of Princess Ji Shao is the glory of our Caiyun Restaurant, thank you very much." Wu Jiang said.

"Boss Wu, the things you sell in the restaurant are really special, I don't know where these things come from?" Xia Ji obviously wanted to use this question to lead up a topic related to Qu Hao.

"Hui Ji Shao Princess asked. All of these things came from overseas, and a friend of mine personally brought them from overseas. Wu Jiang replied.

"Oh, Boss Wu, can I meet this friend of yours?" Xia Ji's heart beat a little faster in an instant, because Wu Jiang, who is Wu Rong's younger brother, the friend he is talking about is very likely to be Qu Hao, and only Qu Hao knows the origin of these things.

"Back to Princess Ji Shao, this friend of mine is no longer in Gusu now, so I can't meet your request." Wu Jiang replied.

"And where did he go?" Xia Ji blurted out a question, and this eagerness could only be understood by herself.

Wu Jiang was stunned for a moment and replied, "Back to Princess Ji Shao, he went to Chu State."

Xia Ji was very disappointed when she heard Wu Jiang's answer, and immediately realized that she had a little gaffe just now, and hurriedly said: "Boss Wu, I want your friend to transport these things to Zhuye as well, so that it will be convenient for me to buy them."
