A plate of bamboo-shredded chicken, a plate of stewed beef tendons, a narrow-mouthed wine glass, and a pot of old rice wine were no different from the last time. Xia Chengyi still ordered the same four.
Zi Teng saw that the bamboo chopsticks brought by the waiter were a bit moldy, so she scolded him a few times and asked him to get new chopsticks.
"Princess, you should eat some!" Seeing Xia Chengyi holding his chin and looking at the "Clay King" downstairs, the little girl couldn't help but persuade him, "These are only two dishes, how can you eat more! How about not eating more?" How many should you order?"
She had not eaten anything since she had gone out early, and her stomach was already growling with hunger.
Seeing her weird look, Xia Chengyi felt angry and funny, and scolded: "Damn girl, I just asked for food when I was hungry. What are you trying to do with me? Could it be that you come out with me, and you are still hungry?" What?"
He also remembered the last time at this Changlai Inn, when two people were fighting, a reckless man's long sword broke free from his hand and flew towards him. It was Zhu Qian who knocked the sword away in time. Now, she was still sitting at the same table as before, and she was protected by Qingji, Qiongqi, and Huafang. She couldn't help but sigh: "The last time I was here, it was Master Zhuqiang and Master Hundun who saved her." It’s only been a few months since they took my life, but they are already gone.”
After saying this, tears fell again.
Even though she is only seventeen years old, she already understands the saying that things are right and people are different.
The waiter brought new bamboo chopsticks, and Xia Chengyi asked him to open twenty tables and let his entourage and guards eat together.
"Princess, your chopsticks smell so good!" Wisteria could smell a sandalwood-like scent even as she sat opposite her.
However, what Xia Chengyi was holding was clearly a pair of bamboo chopsticks.
Bamboo chopsticks are made of bamboo, and at most they only have a faint fragrance. Where does the sandalwood come from? How could it be so strong?
Qing Ji heard the sound and hurried over, took the bamboo chopsticks from Xia Chengyi's hand, put it in his nose and sniffed it.
It's non-toxic and nothing unusual was found except for the smell of sandalwood.
"Master Qingji, you are worrying too much." Xia Chengyi said to Qingji with a smile, "I left the house and came here all on the spur of the moment. I have not thought about it, and others around me have no idea. Who has such great ability? Can you prepare poison in advance to harm me?"
Before Xia Chengxuan arrived at the eldest princess's residence, no one knew that Xia Chengyi would go out today, and no one knew that she would come to this street or this restaurant. To say that someone had set up a trap here in advance, it was indeed a bit of a surprise.
Qingji got hot tea and washed the bamboo chopsticks, then gave them back to Xia Chengyi and replied with a smile: "It's always right to be careful."
In a horse sedan, Yun Xiaoyang and Mei Yuanchen were chatting in a low voice.
"I'll go find my senior sister when I get to Xu's house soon." Yun Xiaoyang lowered her head and sighed softly, "You want to go find your senior brother and the others too?"
Last night, Xu Xigong had told the two of them that Suxin Palace and Zhenwuguan had arrived at Xu's house a few days ago, and Yun Xiaomeng, Zhan Ming and others all came to Ruozhou.
Mei Yuanchen nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes. I didn't expect that Zhenwu Guan would also come to participate in this martial arts alliance. Senior Brother Zhan Ming never mentioned it to me before."
Seeing the deep sadness on Yun Xiaoyang's face, he stretched out his hand to hold her pair of catkins and said softly: "Good sister, after the martial arts alliance, I will go to Tianxinzhou with you. I have never seen the new moon and Changsheng. I’m always worried.”
After hearing what he said, Yun Xiaoyang pursed her lips and smiled, then frowned and asked, "Did you go to Tianxinzhou just to see those two babies?"
Seeing the beauty's eyebrows slightly frowning and the corner of her mouth filled with anger, Mei Yuanchen realized that she had said the wrong thing and said hurriedly: "Of course not. I really can't let you go."
Losing parents and relatives is tantamount to a disaster for an eighteen-year-old boy. If Yun Xiaoyang hadn't given him daily acupuncture to guide Qi, even if the longevity skill had the ability to protect himself, Mei Yuanchen would not be able to survive to this day.
When everything is despairing, there is such a beautiful woman taking care of her. The two of them are alone all the way, helping each other through thick and thin, and relying on each other for life and death many times. It is reasonable for them to gradually develop feelings for each other.
Of course, apart from being reasonable, the evil desires accompanying the practice of longevity skills are also indispensable. If he were not driven by desire, even if he gave Mei Yuanchen ten courages, he would not dare to blaspheme his benefactor.
"I really can't let you go." Although it was just a simple sentence, Yun Xiaoyang looked slightly drunk.
Mei Yuanchen gently leaned over and hugged her shoulders, and said softly: "Sister Yun, my senior brother and the others are here because they are also here for the position of leader of the martial arts league. I am a little worried that Zhenwu Guan, Suxin Palace, Yu The Feng Escort Bureau wants to fight together."
He is the direct disciple of Zhenwu Temple, and he should stand on the side of his master due to emotions and reasons.
However, Yun Xiaoyang is the master of Jishi Hall of Suxin Palace, and is the most respected person in Suxin Palace after the palace owner Yun Xiaomeng. Although the two of them have not yet made love, they have made a life-and-death commitment to each other, and they do not want the two factions to be hostile in the martial arts school.
Moreover, the Yufeng Escort Bureau has always had a close relationship with the Mei family. Yi Qilin, Yi Buyi and Yi Qingxin also treated him with sincerity. How could Mei Yuanchen dare to betray him?
Thinking of this, he suddenly didn't want to go to Xu's house.
"I stayed in the eldest princess's mansion for more than three months. The emperor and the princess treated me as a distinguished guest. It stands to reason that Suxin Palace and the imperial court can be considered to be on good terms. The Yufeng Escort Agency has done a lot for the imperial court overtly and secretly over the years. It is impossible for the emperor not to know about this matter. Zhenwu Temple is a national temple. Your senior brother came to Ruozhou and must have received the emperor's instructions." Yun Xiaoyang said softly, "In my opinion, they were sent by the emperor to help Yu Feng From the Escort Agency and Suxin Palace.”
She is the head of Suxin Palace. Although she has few directors, she is not ignorant. She can analyze the situation clearly in a few words. Hearing what she said, Mei Yuanchen also felt that it was very reasonable, and most of his heart was relieved. The other half of his heart was still hanging on, and he sighed softly: "It's just that looking at the martial arts school in a few days, all parties will be in a strong position." You will definitely get it. Alas, Mr. Xu is also very kind to us. I really don’t want our master to be hostile to him."
"Take one step and take one step at a time." Yun Xiaoyang advised softly, "It's a real enemy. With Mr. Xu's wisdom, he can naturally understand it."
Xia Chengyi and Zi Teng sat at a small dining table with six hot dishes placed on it.
Xia Chengyi ordered bamboo shredded chicken and braised beef tendon, but Zi Teng was the one who asked the waiter to add the next four dishes. Seeing Xia Chengyi move the bowl and chopsticks, she started eating and drinking honestly.
Although the cooking in the market place was not as exquisite as that in the princess's mansion, it was still fragrant and delicious. Wisteria was so eaten that she couldn't even care about Xia Chengyi.
"Well, princess, you should eat more! This stir-fried bacon with winter bamboo shoots is so delicious, the chef in the house can't do it!" Zi Teng's mouth was filled with meat and vegetables, and the gap between her teeth was unclear. Talking.
Xia Chengyi hadn't eaten in the past two days, and she wasn't feeling much better. She didn't eat much in total, and she was already very hungry. Now that she was eating some ordinary dishes, she might be able to enjoy it.
Seeing Ziteng eating so happily, Xia Chengyi couldn't taste the food, and her mind was no longer sure where it was.
