The day after Prince Xiaoyao's wedding, Emperor Xiao Yan received "internal information" from Prince Xiaoyao's palace.
It is said that King Xiaoyao drank a lot of wine on the night of his wedding and fell unconscious. He was helped back to the bridal chamber, but was kicked out by the shrewd new princess. In the end, he had to spend the night in the study.
Xiao Yan was very unhappy after hearing this. Long Yan was delighted, he rewarded the slave who brought the news, and he happily visited the two newly beauties.
However, this is not the case, half true and half false.
Xiao Moyun was indeed "drunk" and was helped into the room, but he was just pretending to be drunk. What he drank was not fake wine mixed with water, but the alcohol content was not as high as that of other guests.
As for "being kicked out of the room and forced to sleep in the study", that doesn't even exist. After Xiao Moyun entered the room, he sat down and chatted with Yue Ci for a while, and then politely offered to sleep in the study. After all, a de facto couple was not a psychological couple, and it was impossible to share the same room.
Knowing that it was not convenient for the Chu State's escort team to stay in Xiao Qiguo's imperial city for a long time, they asked the emperor to say goodbye the next day. Xiao Yan agreed with a wave of his hand. It would be easier to leave early.
At noon on the second day of the wedding, King Xiaoyao led the new princess and all the courtiers to the city gate to say goodbye.
The task assigned by the emperor was finally completed. After a few polite words, Xiao Moyun asked the courtiers who wanted to come forward to chat for a few words to go home. If they continued to chat, they would have to treat them to dinner.
"How about we go to Wuxiang Pavilion to eat today? A new dish was released a while ago, you can try it." Xiao Moyun tilted his head and asked Yue Ci.
Yue Ci responded: "Okay, let's try it."
The carriage drove steadily towards the Wuxiang Pavilion, where the guests were bustling. As it passed through the streets with a large flow of people, some people occasionally recognized the identity of the carriage, said something casually and continued busy with their own affairs. Ordinary people don't have so much free time to sit on a bench and talk and laugh. They have to be busy making a living every day.
There are spaces on both sides in front of the Wuxiang Pavilion for guests arriving by carriage to leave their carriages, and there are also dedicated servants to look after the guests.
Xiao Moyun and Yue Ci were invited in by the smiling waiter Erliuzi, and went up to the second floor, where they found one of the best decorated rooms in the store (there were only two rooms in total) that had been prepared in advance.
The moment you step into the room, your eyes are filled with poetry and painting.
The tables and chairs are made of fine rosewood, with lifelike carved patterns, and a simple and elegant landscape painting hangs on the walls on both sides. An exquisite hand-embroidered folding screen is placed in the room, blocking the view behind the screen. There is space for guests to play and sing. If you need to book three days in advance, the price will naturally be higher.
Today's room was booked by Xiao Moyun on a temporary basis last night. He was in a hurry and had no time to think about anything else.
After Liuzi politely said, "Please wait a moment, sir, the dishes you ordered will be delivered as soon as possible," then he closed the door gently and left. This morning, he was specifically told by the store owner that there would be distinguished guests coming to the store around noon today, and he must provide attentive service. If he neglected to do so, dismissal would be the lightest consequence.
Liuzi has been coming to Wuxiang Pavilion for five or six years. Hearing the owner's attention, he immediately knew that an adult would be here today. Seeing that there was still some time before noon, he was guarding the door of the store.
The chef of Wuxiang Pavilion got the news that the distinguished guest had arrived. After finishing the dishes in his hand, he immediately started making the dishes that the distinguished guest had ordered in advance. Everyone was in order and soon five waiters were called to deliver all the dishes. Liuzi was carrying a plate. Neatly arranged specialty snacks take the lead.
When the guests who were eating at the table on the first floor saw this, they all knew that the people upstairs were either rich or noble, so they continued to order their side dishes. The rich and nobles had nothing to do with them. It was more important to solve their own hunger problem.
