Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yi's pupils tightened for a moment, and she looked at Song Liang in surprise!
He never expected that the third prince would say such a thing!
He wanted to refuse, but one's curiosity cannot be restrained after all.
Shangguan Yi likes the feeling of having everything under control, and he is also full of curiosity as to how Song Liang was able to escape unscathed that day!
"Haha, since His Highness has strongly invited me, how can I find any reason to refuse again?"
"Tonight, I will live up to His Highness's invitation and attend the banquet on time!"
Shangguan Yi wants to see what interesting things will happen at tonight's dinner!
…
A moment of Xu.
Changchunfang, which is usually bustling with people and packed with seats before meal time, was actually quiet and empty tonight.
It’s not that Changchunfang’s business is not good, it’s just that the boss of Changchunfang specially sent a notice——
Tonight's Changchunfang is booked, so foreign guests are not allowed!
The customers who came to dine were a little confused, because Changchunfang was the most high-end restaurant in Daliang in the entire capital.
I have often seen wealthy young men spend a fortune to book all the private rooms on the third floor.
I have also seen courtiers who reserved a private room for a long time just to avoid the fierce women in their families and secretly hide their concubines.
But it is unheard of and unseen to be so rich and generous that he buys the entire Changchunfang piece!
The combination of various factors made those rejected guests extremely curious——
What kind of guests can make the boss of Changchunfang agree to book a reservation?
However, what they don't know is.
Su Wenqiang, the owner of Changchunfang, was sweating profusely at this moment and was personally conducting the operations in Changchunfang without his feet touching the ground.
After receiving the order from the third prince this morning, Su Wenqiang was completely frightened and couldn't believe what he just heard!
"Wha...what?"
"Your Highness, what you just meant is..."
"The current Grand Master Shangguan Yi and General Hufu Xu Rong are both coming to Changchunfang for dinner tonight?"
Song Liang nodded lightly: "Don't forget, there is also the fourth prince."
"..."
When Su Wenqiang heard this, his face turned pale.
He never dreamed that his small Changchunfang could gather these big guys at the same time!
If you pick one out at random, they are the ones that can make Daliang Chaotang tremble!
He understood that if the greetings were not done well tonight, it would not only be a question of whether Changchunfang could be saved or not!
It’s still unclear whether his head can be saved!
Thinking of this, Su Wenqiang couldn't help but shudder.
"How are you all so careless! Watch carefully!"
"You must be at your best tonight and don't show any signs of neglect!"
"yes!"
…
Xu hour and three quarters.
A low-key but gorgeous carriage creaked along the stone road and stopped directly outside the gate of Changchunfang.
"Sir, we're here!"
The car curtain opened, and an old man in a green robe slowly walked out.
The old man had silver hair and a white beard. Although he was only wearing a simple coarse robe, he exuded a calm and authoritative temperament.
Su Wenqiang, the owner of Changchunfang, stood in a row outside the door hand in hand, waiting for the arrival of several big bosses.
Seeing the old man appear, Su Wenqiang was frightened and hurriedly gathered around him, bending his body into a shrimp.
"Greetings to the Grand Master!"
"Your Majesty Taishi condescended to come to my Changchunfang. He really made my Changchunfang radiant!"
Although Changchunfang has received many important figures like the second prince and the third prince.
However, this was the first time that Changchunfang received someone as virtuous and respected as a grand master!
Shangguan Yi nodded lightly, said nothing, and just followed Su Wenqiang into Changchunfang.
In the hall of Changchunfang, Su Wenqiang had already ordered people to remove the extra tables.
Only a luxurious dining table made of 100-year-old huanghuali was left in the hall for entertaining.
The third prince Song Liang was sitting at the dining table waiting. When he saw Shangguan Yi arriving as promised, he hurriedly pointed to the empty seat on the left.
"Master Taishi is here!"
"Please take a seat!"
Seeing that there were only Song Liang and himself in the empty Changchun Square, Shangguan Yi felt a little confused.
"I thought that if His Highness invited all the ministers to dinner tonight, he would definitely set up ten tables and eight tables."
"I didn't expect that you summoned the old minister alone?"
Looking at Shangguan Yi's expressionless face, Song Liang couldn't help but snorted in his heart.
Did you think I would invite you alone?
Don’t even think about it!
If that old boy, Fourth, hadn't asked me to invite him personally, I wouldn't have bothered to talk to you, an old guy!
Although he cursed in his heart, on the surface, Song Liang didn't say much.
"Please be patient, Grand Master, there are distinguished guests who will be arriving soon!"
...And there are distinguished guests?
Shangguan Yi had a faint smile on his face, but there were countless doubts in his heart.
Besides myself, who else can be regarded as a "distinguished guest"?
Could it be that...
Shangguan Yi was thinking intently when he suddenly heard a hearty laughter coming from outside the Changchunfang door.
"Hahahahaha——"
"I heard that the third prince specially booked Changchun Garden today. It's really a big deal!"
"I wonder if the Third Prince has anything to discuss with me..."
Xu Rong walked up carelessly, but only half of what he said came to an abrupt end.
"...Grand Master?"
"Why are you here too?"
The smile on Xu Rong's face suddenly turned cold.
It was originally heard that the third prince booked Changchunfang just to treat himself to dinner. Xu Rong's vanity was greatly satisfied at that moment.
So what if he is a dignified prince?
In front of a general like myself, you don't have to grovel and be careful about flattery!
But after seeing the Grand Master sitting next to Song Liang, Xu Rong's expression instantly became stiff.
When Shangguan Yi saw Xu Rong, a trace of surprise flashed across his face!
Everyone in the court knew that Xu Rong and himself had always been incompatible with each other and would not speak at all on weekdays.
Every time we speak, it's tit-for-tat and no one gives in!
The third prince knew this and even invited himself and Xu Rong over.
Isn’t this just to avoid chaos in the world?
Shangguan Yi suddenly lost his composure: "Why, the general can come, but I can't?"
"I came here specially to attend the banquet today. If the general has something important to do, there is no need to waste time here!"
The anger in Xu Rong's heart burst into flames.
What does this damn old man mean?
Drive yourself away, right?
Why!
They were all invited here by the third prince in a low voice, why should I leave!
Xu Rong snorted coldly, stared at Shangguan Yi provocatively, and sat down on the other side of Song Liang in a swagger.
"Third Prince, I'm hungry!"
"Third Prince, please have a banquet quickly!"
"..."
Song Liang was sandwiched between Shangguan Yi and Xu Rong. Looking at the tit-for-tat glances between the two, he felt a burst of anxiety.
Even before the dinner officially started, the two of them were at war with each other and refused to give in.
If I say a few more words, I don’t know what kind of sparks will come out of the friction!
But what will happen later is beyond his control.
"Two adults, please be patient. There is an honored guest who has not yet arrived!"
"When the distinguished guests arrive, the banquet will naturally begin."
Shangguan Yi and Xu Rong said in unison: "Who?"
At this moment, an unhurried voice came in from outside.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
