The dishes in Zuixianglou are famous in Shengjing city for their excellent color, aroma and taste. A plate of clear water tofu can be sold for a sky-high price of ten taels of silver.
Most of the people who can enter Zuixiang Tower to dine are dignitaries, relatives of the emperor, and wealthy businessmen with a little wealth.
However, the owner behind Zuixiang Tower would hold a large-scale cultural gathering from time to time, providing free tea and drinks in the venue, inviting scholars and literati in the city to recite poems, or discuss various gossips, or the direction of the imperial examination...
Today, a cultural gathering is being held in the building, which is very lively.
Xie Xi took his concubine out for dinner for the first time, so he would not choose to sit in the lobby.
"Go to the private room on the second floor."
"Okay, I'll listen to His Highness."
Lu Xiaoxiao had always been indifferent to this kind of poetry recitation. He was so focused on waiting for food that he didn't even bother to look at it and followed Xie Xi to the second floor.
The shopkeeper led the way diligently and opened the door of the Tianzi room: "Your Highness, please come this way."
Xie Xi nodded slightly, strode in, and sat down at the table.
Lu Xiaoxiao quickly followed and sat opposite Xie Xi. He raised his little face and looked at him eagerly.
[I’m so hungry, I don’t know how long I have to wait for food]
[Based on my current situation, I can eat a whole pig! 】
"cough"
Xie Xi suppressed the smile that was about to overflow from his lips, clenched his fists and coughed lightly: "Shopkeeper, here are four of Zuixianglou's signature dishes, and a braised pig's trotters."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up.
[Ah, your highness, he actually ordered my favorite braised pig's trotters! 】
[How could I not love such a highness! ? 】
【He really is, I love him so much! 】
Xie Xi: "..."
Xie Xi's earlobes turned red unconsciously when he heard that Lu Fengyi's new student was so unreserved and frank.
Xie Xi took a deep breath, raised his hand to let the shopkeeper out, and then asked Mu Qing to guard the door of the elegant room.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said casually, "The queen mother mentioned to Gu that the fourth brother's temper has been a bit naughty recently. He is obsessed with eating, drinking and having fun, and he is very close to the playboy of the Dong family. It is really difficult to discipline him. The queen mother I have a headache, I wonder if Lu Fengyi can do anything?"
"?"
Lu Xiaoxiao was immediately confused by the question.
[Why would Your Highness ask me about this? 】
[However, the fourth prince is naughty? Are you focused on eating, drinking and having fun? That's all false! 】
[Your Highness, please be careful and don’t be deceived by shady dogs like the Fourth Prince! 】
[What the Fourth Prince is best at is pretending, hiding in hiding, and what the Dong family’s playboy hates the most is the Fourth Prince! 】
[Normally, the handsome man from the Dong family would avoid him whenever he saw the fourth prince, so how could he possibly get close to him? Moreover, the dandy of the Dong family often mentioned to his friends in private that the fourth prince was hypocritical and difficult to deal with. He was quite wealthy and should not be friends with...]
[Alas, His Highness is now defenseless against the Fourth Prince, so how should I remind His Highness that the Fourth Prince wants to steal his throne? 】
Xie Xi's eyes dimmed slightly, and the hand hanging by his side slowly clenched into a fist.
After thinking about it, Lu Xiaoxiao said tentatively: "Your Highness, I am not familiar with the Fourth Prince, and it is not appropriate for me to talk nonsense in front of His Highness."
[I don’t know if His Highness will believe what I say. 】
"..."
Xie Xi wanted to know where Lu Fengyi learned about these things and whether he had any adventures.
But Xie Xi also knew in his heart that the secret must not be leaked. Now that he could hear Lu Fengyi's voice, it was the greatest gift from God.
As for the fourth brother, he will send someone else to confirm with the Dong family dude.
If everything goes as Lu Fengyi said, then he should make other plans.
Xie Xi lowered his eyes and put away the gloomy look in his eyes: "There is no need to be afraid, Lu Fengyi, I just suddenly remembered this matter. If Lu Fengyi doesn't want to talk about it, that's okay."
Lu Xiaoxiao:......
[Do you want me to say it or not? 】
Lu Xiaoxin was in a dilemma when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, and then heard Mu Qing standing guard outside the door saying: "Your Highness, the food is here."
Hearing this, Xie Xi glanced at Lu Xiaoxiao subconsciously, only to see her staring straight at the door.
[It smells so good, hey, I seem to smell the aroma of braised pig's trotters! 】
[The person who works for the rice, the soul of the person who works for the rice, nothing is more important than the person who works for the rice! 】
Xie Xi said helplessly: "Come in."
With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Mu Qing brought the meals in and placed them on the table one by one.
After that, Mu Qing went out and closed the door.
The fragrant braised pig's trotters almost confused Lu Xiaoxiaoxiang.
Lu Xiaoxiao quickly picked up her chopsticks and was about to put them into the plate of braised pig's trotters placed in front of Xie Xi. Suddenly, she stopped again and looked at Xie Xi with her round almond eyes: "Your Highness, try it first. "
"good."
Xie Xi calmly picked up a piece of tofu and put it into a bowl, then moved the braised pig's trotters in front of him to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Lu Fengyi, try it."
[Your Highness is so kind! 】
Lu Xiaoxiao picked up a piece of pig's trotters, lowered his head and took a bite, and immediately let out a happy sigh: "Your Highness, this is so delicious!"
[Host host, the system is here to do the task]
Lu Xiaoxiao:?
As soon as she took a bite, Jiujiu appeared, scaring her so much that she almost choked to death.
Lu Xiaoxiao swallowed the pig's trotters in his mouth, "Can't you let me have a good meal first?" What's the matter with this sudden mission? 】
Jiujiu: [Host, Jiujiu doesn’t want it either, but this mission is very urgent]
Lu Xiaoxiao: [Okay, let the system release the task]
【drop! The progress of assisting Prince Xie Xi in enthroning is 0, now activate task 1: Recruit talents for Prince Xie Xi, prevent Young Master Huaijun from getting to know each other and the fourth prince, and draw Young Master Huaijun into Prince Xie Xi’s camp】
[In addition, the system has detected that Master Huaijun is about to meet with the Fourth Prince, please host to stop him as soon as possible]
[Complete the mission to get one hundred points and open the points mall. If the mission fails, you will be struck by lightning]
"..."
Xie Xi wanted to tell Lu Fengyi about the cook in Zuixiang House, but he was caught off guard when he heard the word "mission".
What's the mission?
Xie Xi pursed her lips, stared at Lu Xiaoxiao, and couldn't help but listen attentively.
Lu Xiaoxiao was really going to be pissed off by this crappy mission.
Even the pig's trotters in the bowl no longer smell good.
[Even if you ask me to recruit talents for His Highness, why should I be struck by lightning if the task fails? 】
Jiujiu: [Sorry host, this is stipulated by the main system]
Lu Xiaoxiao: "..."
[It’s unlucky to be working on a job and encountering a publishing task! 】
[However, even if you want me to prevent Young Master Huaijun from meeting the Fourth Prince, you should first tell me where Young Master Huaijun is at this time, right? 】
Afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince would notice something strange about him, Lu Xiaoxiao pretended that he was working seriously while catching Jiujiu trying to sneak out.
As everyone knows, Xie Xi has heard her voice clearly.
Although he didn't know who assigned Lu Fengyi the task, he just heard that Lu Fengyi wanted to recruit talents for him?
Will you be struck by lightning if you fail the mission?
Xie Xi frowned, feeling a little uneasy: Also, who is Young Master Huaijun? Why did Lu Fengyi prevent Mr. Huaijun from meeting his fourth brother?
For a moment, the Tianzihao room was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.
Xie Xi had doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask directly.
Lu Xiaoxiao caught Jiujiu and asked about the situation.
Jiujiu: [Host, Mr. Huaijun is currently attending a cultural gathering in Zuixiang Tower, and the fourth prince is on his way to Zuixiang Tower]
[Master Huaijun is attending a cultural gathering in Zuixiang Tower! ? 】
Lu Xiaoxiao was startled. She raised her head and glanced at His Highness secretly.
Caught off guard, he met Xie Xi's surprised gaze: "Lu Fengyi, but the food doesn't taste good?"
"No, Your Highness, I have already eaten."
Lu Xiaoxiao picked up the handkerchief, wiped the corners of his lips, and struggled to move his eyes away from the plate of braised pig's trotters.
[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Sorry, my braised pig's trotters can only be eaten by you after I complete the task. 】
Xie Xi glanced at her line of sight and put down the chopsticks in his hands, "I heard that there was a cultural gathering held downstairs today. I wonder if Lu Fengyi is interested in going down and taking a look?"
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at him in shock.
[Your Highness, could it be possible that you have a connection with me? 】
Xie Xi rarely felt guilty. He made a fist and coughed lightly, then asked in a warm voice: "Lu Fengyi, do you want to come with us?"
"I want it!"
Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly came back to his senses.
[I have to go and see what’s going on with Young Master Huaijun first, and then I can find a way to intercept the Fourth Prince]
[Can this broken system be upgraded? You have to see the mission target to unlock the relevant plot]
Jiujiu: [Kiss the host, the system upgrade requires one thousand points]
Lu Xiaoxiao:......
