"That's great! It's better to share the joy with the people than to be happy alone! "
Seeing that Murong Qiqi wanted to join in the fun, Feng Cang pulled her to an empty seat and sat down.
This was the first floor, and the people seated here were all commoners. The fact that the famous Feng Cang was sitting with Murong Qiqi made them feel flattered. It seemed like this prince was very approachable!
Feng Cang didn't know that his small act of sitting on the first floor to make Murong Qiqi happy was immediately labeled as "friendly" by the commoners.
When the Southern Lin King arrived, the owner of Immortal Inn personally came to serve him.
"Just a few specialties will do. There's no need for too much, just enough for two people. Too much would be a waste."
Because of Feng Cang's arrival, the entire Immortal Inn quietened down. At this moment, Murong Qiqi's words were clearly heard by everyone.
Those who were feeling sorry for Murong Qiqi's appearance and felt that she wasn't worthy of Feng Cang all gave her a thumbs up when they saw how frugal the Sunshine Princess was. They originally thought that Murong Qiqi would be extravagant and order a table full of dishes before throwing them all to the dogs after tasting a few. Who would have thought that she would only order a few specialties?
Immediately, the public's opinion that had fallen because of Murong Qiqi's ordinary appearance soared. A friendly prince and a frugal princess were a perfect match!
The owner was indeed considerate. He only served five dishes: first-rate bear paw, Tai Chi prawn, dry-roasted shark's fin, crystal salted trotters, and a dish of boiled cabbage that the North Zhou people loved.
"Try it!" Feng Cang picked up a prawn and personally peeled it before placing it in Murong Qiqi's bowl.
Murong Qiqi picked it up and placed it in her mouth. She tasted it carefully and chewed slowly. Her table manners were very elegant, causing everyone to put down their chopsticks and stare at this princess. Even the boss of the restaurant bowed and stood at the side, a layer of sweat appearing on his forehead as he waited for Murong Qiqi's evaluation.
"Delicious! Immortal Inn truly lives up to its name! "
The owner heaved a sigh of relief when Murong Qiqi finished speaking. "Thank you for your praise, Princess! Thank you, Princess! "
"You may leave! Feng Cang waved his hand. The shopkeeper bowed and left, leaving Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi behind. Feng Cang did not eat much. He had been carefully preparing the dishes for Murong Qiqi. His gentleness and thoughtfulness left everyone in disbelief. The rumored Ghost King was not like this. Could it be that the rumors were wrong?
Seeing how gentle and caring Feng Cang was, the people were even more certain that the rumors about the Ghost King were false.
What bloodlust? What was ferocious and violent? Could the man who gently peeled shrimp shells for the woman beside him be such a vicious and cruel person?
No one could connect this Feng Cang with the legendary Ghost King. More people clearly realized that those rumors must have been spread by someone who was jealous of Feng Cang's talent. That was why they had spread those outrageous rumors with the aim of slandering him! Immediately, the will of the people flowed to Feng Cang's side like a surging river.
On the second floor, after Murong Qiqi and Feng Cang entered, Longze Jingtian's gaze was fixed on Murong Qiqi.
For some reason, even though he had not seen Murong Qiqi for a while, he felt like a long time had passed. She had changed. She had become more feminine. Her delicate and obedient appearance made people unable to help but love her from the bottom of their hearts.
Murong Qinglian, who had come with them, felt the same way as Longze Jingtian. However, her target was Feng Cang.
Murong Qinglian had only seen Feng Cang a few times in the Xiqi Nation. She had been captivated by his beauty. Now, her heart was beating for this gentle man. Murong Qinglian had not expected Feng Cang to be so kind to others and so good to women. When she saw the beautiful man beside Murong Qiqi, Murong Qinglian hated that she could not sit in Murong Qiqi's seat and enjoy these benefits.
This time, Longze Jingtian was leading the Xiqi Nation. Aside from Murong Qinglian, there were also Li Yunqing and Bai Yiyue, a total of two men and two women.
Previously, the Xiqi Nation's royal family had lost two princes and a princess during the Double Ninth Festival banquet. In addition, Murong Xuelian had fallen ill after losing her son. Longze Jingtian was in an extremely bad mood, so he had handed the Four Nation Youth Competition to Longze Jingtian. Hence, the participants this time were all selected by Longze Jingtian. In his own words, there were not many, but they were all elites.
When Bai Yiyue saw that Murong Qiqi was living a happy life, she was naturally happy for her. On the other hand, Li Yunqing's mood was very gloomy. He was originally a handsome and confident man, but now he was very quiet. He only looked at Murong Qiqi quietly, as if he wanted to imprint her expression into his heart.
"Your Highness, I would like to go and greet the Sunshine Princess!" Bai Yiyue stood up and asked Longze Jingtian.
"Alright!" Longze Jingtian nodded. "I have heard about the Sunshine Princess. Why don't we go and see her together? After all, she is the princess of our Xiqi Nation! "
Longze Jingtian led the group to Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi's table. He first bowed to Feng Cang, then looked at Murong Qiqi. "Princess, long time no see!"
"Long time no see!"
Murong Qiqi only nodded at Longze Jingtian. She had no interest in Longze Jingtian. Instead, she saw Li Yunqing and Bai Yiyue stand up and grab Bai Yiyue's hand. "Yiyue, you are here too! Cousin, long time no see! "
Murong Qiqi sincerely treated these two as friends. Whether it was Li Yunqing, who had helped her before, or Bai Yiyue, who had always treated her as a friend, seeing them in a foreign country made Murong Qiqi's mood better.
"Greetings, Princess!" Bai Yiyue smiled. She looked at Murong Qiqi, then looked at Feng Cang. "Princess, you look good. It seems that you have gotten used to life in Bei Zhou and are very happy here!"
"It's alright!" Murong Qiqi blushed. "Your Highness is very good to me!"
"That's good!" Bai Yiyue was happy for Murong Qiqi.
However, Murong Qiqi's words had a different meaning to them. Longze Jingtian's heart was filled with bitterness. Why? Why did he only feel regret after losing her? Why did he miss her by just a little bit?
