"By the way, I heard that there is another rich restaurant in Rongquan City that has a booming business, let's try it there again."

"Huh?"

Xiao Yuchen didn't expect his cousin to want to go to Fugui Restaurant, so he was immediately unhappy.

"Brother Huang, the owner of the rich restaurant is not a good thing, it was the original chef of the Chengwang Mansion who came out to set up his own door. Do you want to recommend such a guy? ”

"Uncle Huang's cook?"

Prince Rui didn't expect that in a restaurant in Rongquan City, there would be someone who became a king, and he couldn't help frowning.

"Not only that, Boss Cai of this rich restaurant also hired a thief to assassinate the shopkeeper Jiang, if it weren't for my help, the shopkeeper Jiang would not be able to escape the clutches."

Xiao Yuchen said, and told how he got to know Jiang Li.

He originally hated the villain's behavior of hurting people behind his back, especially Xiao Xinyu's poisoning last time, which made him particularly disdainful of this kind of thing.

Hearing Xiao Yuchen finish telling the story of the matter, after learning these truths, Prince Rui's brows couldn't help but furrow.

"Come on, let Zhao Jingxuan come to see me."

As soon as he heard that his cousin gave an order to the guards and asked to see Zhao Jingxuan by name, Xiao Yuchen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Brother Huang, do you recognize Zhao Jingxuan?"

Although Xiao Yuchen had long seen that Zhao Jingxuan was not an ordinary villager, he didn't know that he was actually acquainted with Prince Rui.

"Naturally, I know each other, but I don't have any friendship."

When Prince Rui heard Xiao Yuchen's question, he nodded lightly, and had no intention of explaining more to him.

Let Xiao Yuchen scratch his ears and cheeks to find out, Prince Rui has always remained silent.

It wasn't until Zhao Jingxuan arrived in the private room that he finally spoke quietly.

"Zhao Jingxuan, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"The lower officials have seen His Royal Highness Prince Rui, but I don't know His Royal Highness's mastery, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive his sins."

Zhao Jingxuan still behaved neither humble nor arrogant in the face of Prince Rui, although he said forgiveness in his mouth, but he and Prince Rui both understood that this was just polite words.

Xiao Yuchen, who was on the side, couldn't help but speak, with a posture of asking for guilt.

"Now that you know that you are guilty, tell me how to punish you?"

He had long seen that Zhao Jingxuan was not pleasing to the eye, but he didn't expect the other party to hide so deeply, so he wanted to toss him at this time.

It's a pity that Prince Rui obviously didn't want his cousin to make trouble, so he glanced at him, and Xiao Yuchen could only boo obediently.

Zhao Jingxuan didn't take Xiao Yuchen's attitude seriously, and still maintained a saluting posture without being humble or arrogant.

"Okay, what's the deal."

Seeing this, Prince Rui waved his hand at Zhao Jingxuan, and then said, "I am also a private visit to Weifu." The Imperial Chef Dabi is imminent, and I also left the capital to find a candidate who can participate in the Dabi, all the way south. I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

"I don't know how Zhao Yushi's case is investigated?"

Prince Rui's words are undoubtedly reminding Zhao Jingxuan to close the case as soon as possible, you must know that he swore that he would catch the evidence of King Cheng's misdeeds, but the case seems to have made no progress now.

Zhao Jingxuan's efficiency in investigating the case was too low, which made him feel dissatisfied.

Hearing Prince Rui's words, Zhao Jingxuan did not panic and spoke unhurriedly.

"The case is naturally being investigated, please rest assured, Your Highness, the lower official is not a person who eats a vegetarian meal. It's just that the lower officials only need to be responsible for His Majesty's progress in the case, and I ask Your Highness for your forgiveness. ”

The implication is that Prince Rui has no right to interfere with his actions.

When Prince Rui heard this, he was not annoyed, but laughed.

"Good! Very good! Can't you see that Zhao Yushi's courage is really big, and he doesn't even pay attention to this king? ”

"Eat the king's lu, share the king's worries, and the master of the lower officials is only His Majesty."

Zhao Jingxuan's tone was flat, and his expression was also very calm, and his attitude reminded Prince Rui of the emperor's evaluation of Zhao Jingxuan.

"Okay, then I don't care."

"Brother Huang!"

Xiao Yuchen listened to their conversation in the fog beside him, and he didn't know what was going on, but he could also see that Zhao Jingxuan obviously didn't take Prince Rui in his eyes.

Seeing this, he immediately shouted dissatisfiedly, "How can such an arrogant person be easily let go?" ”

"You give me a pause."

Prince Rui looked at his cousin, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and couldn't help but glance at him.

He knows Xiao Yuchen's character well, and knows that he has an arrogant personality and is quite a bit self-serving, although he is a smart person, but sometimes he is easy to act excessively.

If it weren't for the fact that the two had been close since childhood, he would not have let Xiao Yuchen follow him all the time.

"Okay, I won't say much about this matter, I just hope that Lord Zhao will know it in his heart."

Prince Rui smiled and waved his hand, looking good-natured, and did not hold Zhao Jingxuan responsible, but instead changed his words and said directly: "Actually, I came to you this time, but I had an important matter I wanted to discuss with Lord Zhao. I don't know what Lord Zhao thinks? ”

"What?"

Zhao Jingxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't expect that Prince Tangrui would also ask for him, and he couldn't help but be a little apprehensive.

If it is only related to him personally, Zhao Jingxuan is naturally fearless, but he is also a family man now.

Thinking of Jiang Liang, Zhao Jingxuan couldn't help but get nervous, but he was still very calm on his face.

Prince Rui took in his expression, chuckled, and then said in a deep voice: "I intend to give the place of the Imperial Chef Competition to Shopkeeper Jiang and let her participate in the competition." I don't know what Lord Zhao thinks? ”

Zhao Jingxuan didn't expect Prince Rui to directly pick out this matter, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Although the other party's attitude is not tough, it is not easy to directly refuse a prince's request, and the slightest carelessness will offend people.

In particular, the Imperial Chef Dabi is a very important thing.

Previously, King Cheng was obviously playing the idea of the Imperial Chef Competition, which made Boss Cai do his best to win the cooking competition. Each state capital has a recommended quota, and Boss Cai's goal was obviously this.

The reason why Jiang Li participated in the cooking competition was just to get the final reward.

However, if they agreed to Prince Rui's request at this time, there was no doubt that they would be involved in trouble, and even in the eyes of outsiders, they would be labeled as Prince Rui's people.

No matter how you look at it, Zhao Jingxuan feels that this is a big trouble and is unwilling to agree.

It's just that here and now, if he refuses directly, it will be too bad for Prince Rui to save face.

For a while, Zhao Jingxuan only felt in a dilemma, and had to say: "After all, it is Neiko who cooks, and she still has to ask her about this matter before she can give an answer to His Highness." ”

"That's right, this kind of thing naturally has to be agreed by Shopkeeper Jiang himself to be effective."

Prince Rui was slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Zhao Jingxuan to respect his wife's wishes so much, but he remembered the scene he had just seen, and Zhao Jingxuan's appearance of protecting Jiang Li's side was also relieved.
