Following this question, everyone looked outside the window. Even Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng were no exception.
On the lake outside the Refined Deity Building, there was a small boat coming over. On the boat, there was a man sitting with his back facing the window. He wore a light green robe and his long hair was tied up high. He held a folding fan in his hand and was seriously listening to the woman sitting across from him talk.
Although the person sitting across from him was a woman, she was only eleven or twelve years old. She wore a red dress and had two buns in her hair. Her complexion was beautiful and she looked very lively. As she spoke, she gesticulated with her hands and her laughter could be heard from time to time.
One was active and the other was quiet. The girl's jubilation and the man's calmness complemented each other and created a very pleasing scene.
Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianming looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with shock. At this time, they heard Duanmu Qing's voice come from next door: "Your Highness the Seventh Prince?"
Someone next to him replied: "This is really new. His Highness the Seventh Prince has never liked to get close to women. Aside from being close to county princess Ji 'an, this is the first time."
"Who is that woman?"
This question stunned everyone. Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianming were also guessing, but they had no clue. Huang Quan and Wang Chuan both shook their heads, indicating that they did not know.
That woman was very unfamiliar and they had definitely never seen her before. However, for some reason, Feng Yu Heng felt that her every frown and every smile seemed somewhat familiar.
While they were guessing, the people on the boat had already come ashore. The waiter invited them upstairs.
Next door, Duanmu Qing spoke again: "It is said that in this Refined Deity Building, aside from its owner, His Ninth Highness, there are only two people who can eat here without a reservation. One is county princess Ji 'an and the other is his Highness the Seventh Prince."
Someone corrected him: "In fact, there is only one Seventh Prince, because County Princess Ji 'an can also be considered a master."
Duan Mu Qing coldly snorted and said, "The only time I returned to the capital six years ago was at the palace banquet where I met his highness the seventh prince. At that time, his celestial aura was truly unforgettable. Unexpectedly, when they met again this time, he already had a female companion by his side. The affairs of the world were truly unpredictable! Let's go and greet the Seventh Prince. "
Following Duanmu Qing's greeting, the people next door all stood up and walked out of the private room. Xuan Tianhua and the girl came up.
With Duanmu Qing taking the lead, the group of officials knelt in front of Xuan Tianhua and said, "This official greets Your Highness Prince Chun."
Soon, Xuan Tianhua's voice could be heard, "You don't have to be so courteous here. Rise." He then paused for a moment and said after a while: "You call yourself this official, but I feel that you are very unfamiliar. Are you an official from outside the capital?"
These words were clearly directed at Duan Mu Qing. Feng Yu Heng heard this from inside and let out a "pft"; however, she did not know that even though she was extremely careful, her laughter still managed to reach the ears of the deity-like person outside. The corners of his lips curled slightly, and the warm expression on his face became even more pronounced.
But Duan Mu Qing's face turned green once more. His heart felt extremely unbalanced, alright? Thinking about how he was the deputy leader of the three northern provinces and was such a high-ranking official. In such an important place like the North, when he came to the capital, a majority of the officials would come to the Xiang Palace to see him. Now that the battle between Dashun and Qian Zhou was imminent, as the deputy leader of the three northern provinces, even the old emperor had to give him some face, but why was it that his presence was so weak in front of Feng Yu Heng, the Ninth Prince and the Seventh Prince? This deity in front of him really was too good. He actually did not recognize him at all!
The officials that had come to eat with Duan Mu Qing were also very embarrassed, but no matter how embarrassed they were, they did not dare say anything. This was his Highness the Seventh Prince. Aside from the Ninth Prince, he was the only other person that dared to challenge the Emperor.
Thus the voice outside was silent for a long time. Finally, Duan Mu Qing admitted defeat and took the initiative to say: "This official is the deputy leader of the three northern provinces, Duan Mu Qing."
"Oh." Only then did Xuan Tianhua react; however, he muttered with a pondering tone: "Duan Mu Qing?" It was clear that he had not remembered who this person was.
At this time, a clear female voice was heard: "Seventh Brother, let's go eat. I'm hungry."
Once the words "Seventh Brother" came out, Feng Yu Heng, who was sitting in the private room, nearly choked to death on her tea. She stared blankly at the door and had the urge to open the door and go out to take a look. What sort of person was this? He actually called Xuan Tianhua Seventh Brother?
She looked at Xuan Tianming in confusion and asked in a small voice, "What's going on?"
Xuan Tianming spread his hands, "I don't know either."
Xuan Tianhua's voice came from outside again: "You are all here to eat, right? This Refined Deity Building has quite a few good dishes. Since the deputy leader came all the way from the North, you should at least try them. Waiter! "He called out:" Bring the eighteen dishes of the Refined Deity Building to the sirs' private rooms. "Then he said:" Everyone, please enjoy. I won't be accompanying you. "
With these words, the commotion outside dissipated. Duan Mu Qing and the others returned to the next room and sat down. Not long after, the eighteen dishes were brought out one by one by the waiter.
Bai Ze clicked his tongue and said in a small voice: "His Highness the Seventh Prince is truly vicious! The signature eighteen dishes of the Refined Deity Building are the best in the world. If a normal person wanted to eat it, they would have to come five days in advance to make a reservation. Duan Mu Qing is truly lucky this time. "
Xuan Tian Ming saw Feng Yu Heng's sharp gaze directed in his direction and knew that something bad was about to happen. He quickly took the initiative to say: "Next time, next time you are hungry for two meals, I will bring you here to eat."
"Humph." A certain person rolled her eyes and ignored him. However, she still muttered: "It's such a waste to let Duan Mu Qing eat it for free."
Just like that, they sat for another two hours before the table next to theirs finally finished eating. They all burped and praised: "The Refined Deity Building truly lives up to its reputation." Even Duan Mu Qing was full of praise for the eighteen dishes. He then shouted: "Waiter, the bill!"
The waiter ran in and respectfully said: "It's a total of two thousand eight hundred taels."
"What?" Duan Mu Qing's voice exploded, "How much?"
The waiter repeated, "A total of two thousand eight hundred taels."
Duan Mu Qing burped again and almost spat out what he had just eaten. He found it hard to accept: "Why is it so expensive? How many dishes did we just order? "
The waiter said: "The Refined Deity Building's signature eighteen dishes cost two thousand six hundred and sixty-six taels. You also drank two jars of apricot wine … …"
"Wait a moment." The waiter was interrupted, "The signature eighteen dishes were ordered by his highness the seventh prince."
"That's right!" The waiter said as if it was natural, "The dishes were ordered by his highness the seventh prince, but you ate them yourselves. Could it be that sir … … doesn't have money? "
Duan Mu Qing angrily slapped the table, "His highness the seventh prince treated us to eat. Why do we have to pay for it?"
The waiter's attitude was not very good, "Sir, your words are unreasonable. When his highness the seventh prince ordered the dishes, this lowly one was also present. If you don't want to eat it because it's too expensive, you can refuse. However, you accepted it and ate it. How can you be angry when it's time to pay? How about you go over there and argue with his highness the seventh prince? "
How could Duan Mu Qing lose face like that? Moreover, he didn't dare to. It was a good thing that he had brought banknotes with him when he left today. He had wanted to use his connections in the capital, but he never thought that he would end up eating most of it.
When they left, their faces were completely dark. Feng Yu Heng leaned against the door and looked out. Duan Mu Qing's distressed expression made her happy. Only when the group of people left did Xuan Tianming pull her back.
Bai Ze had already put the mechanism back in place. She loudly laughed, "Seventh Brother is really good!"
Just as she finished speaking, she heard a burst of light laughter come from the door. Following this, an otherworldly figure appeared in front of them.
Feng Yu Heng happily broke free from Xuan Tianming's grip. She rushed over and hugged Xuan Tianhua's sleeve, "Seventh Brother, I missed you so much."
Xuan Tianhua's eyes curved. His face was filled with affection as he asked Xuan Tianming, "Why is this girl so dark and skinny?"
Xuan Tianming spread his hands, "Maybe it's because of the furnace." Then he reached out and pulled her back, "Pay attention to your image."
She didn't want to do it. She hadn't seen Xuan Tianhua for half a year. It would be a lie if she said she didn't miss him. However, when she saw Xuan Tianming point behind her, she saw the girl looking around curiously.
Feng Yu Heng blinked. The girl also blinked. She pouted. The girl also pouted. She tilted her head and leaned against Xuan Tianming's arm. The girl also tilted her head and leaned against Xuan Tianhua's arm.
Feng Yu Heng's heart trembled. There was a strange feeling in her heart. When she looked at Xuan Tianhua again, her eyes were full of curiosity.
However, the other party didn't answer her question. He just introduced the two of them in a normal tone, "This is Yu Qianyin." And then that was it.
Feng Yu Heng was a little unwilling. Xuan Tianming put his arm around her shoulder and slightly squeezed her hand. She understood that he didn't want her to ask any more questions. So she kept quiet and didn't say anything else.
The few of them sat back down at the table. The waiter scattered the dishes and served a few more. The girl named Yu Qianyin swallowed her saliva and asked Xuan Tianhua, "Seventh Brother, can I eat now?"
Xuan Tianhua smiled and nodded. "Hurry up and eat. I'm starving." There was some gentleness in his voice, but it didn't sound like he was spoiling Feng Yu Heng.
Yu Qianyin happily picked up her chopsticks. She didn't even think about it and went straight for the pork shoulder.
This time, it was not just Feng Yu Heng. Even Xuan Tian Ming was on the verge of collapse. Seeing that girl eat the pork shoulder in a manner that was practically identical to Feng Yu Heng's, the corners of his lips subconsciously twitched.
Wang Chuan and Huang Quan looked at each other. Then, they looked at Yu Qianyin with some hostility in their eyes.
Xuan Tianming took the initiative to say, "Seventh Brother." He only said it, but he knew that the other party would understand his intentions.
However, Xuan Tianhua only said, "Ming, is the steel finished?" He changed the topic. He didn't want to talk about what was going on with Yu Qianyin.
Feng Yu Heng couldn't help but talk to the person in question. She leaned over and asked with a smile, "You like to eat pork shoulder too? I also like to eat it the most. "
Yu Qianyin was very happy to see Feng Yu Heng talking to her. She swallowed the meat in her mouth and drank some water. Then, she said, "The pork shoulder meat is smooth and delicious. Especially the part with the tendons. The taste is amazing! " After saying that, she didn't wait for Feng Yu Heng to ask again. She added, "Other than pork shoulder, I also like to eat pigeon, especially fried ones. The crispy skin is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's delicious to chew."
Bang!
Feng Yu Heng slapped the table and stared at Xuan Tianhua. Her face instantly darkened.
