Chapter 204 The Gift of a Teacup

"This Linglong Pavilion appeared in the four countries more than ten years ago, and it has become popular in just half a year. The Linglong Pavilion can find rare treasures that are unknown and impossible to find in the whole world."

Yan An was secretly amazed, never expecting that Yue Xiyuan would have such foresight at such a young age.

In just six months, the Dark Pavilion expanded to the other three kingdoms and achieved an unshakeable position.

Yue Xiyuan winked at Yan An and casually fiddled with her fingers.

Isn't your fiancé amazing? Praise me! Praise me!

I didn't expect this guy to be so narcissistic.

Yan An rested his chin on his hands, staring at Yue Xiyuan with an expression of adoration, as if he had met the boy who made his heart flutter when he was a teenager in the prime of his youth.

Yan Shaoheng witnessed the entire interaction between Yue Xiyuan and Yue Xiyuan.

Yan Shaoheng saw that the two of them didn't take him seriously at all, and he almost crushed the wheelchair beneath him.

"Does the Regent know who is behind the Linglong Pavilion?"

Yue Xiyuan looked at Yan Shaoheng as if he were an idiot.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't tell you, especially since he owns the Linglong Pavilion.

“Even Prince Heng doesn’t know, how could I possibly know? But even if I did know, why would I tell you?”

With a loud "smack," Yan Shaoheng finally couldn't hold back and slammed his hand on the table, shattering it into pieces instantly.

Yan Shaoheng was so angry he almost stood up.

"Prince Heng just said that I am impetuous. I think Prince Heng is nothing special. No wonder Emperor Yan is unwilling to let Prince Heng help him solve his problems in the court."

"You!" Yan Shaoheng was so angry that he didn't know why he had come today.

These two really know how to hit the nail on the head, every time.

"It's getting late, so I won't keep Prince Heng any longer. However, the tables and chairs in my residence are made of the finest sandalwood. Please send the silver notes over later."

"Oh, right, the cup that was just broken was also a gift from my brother not long ago. Now that you've broken one, the others are useless. Prince Heng, remember one."

"The fourth one sees the guest off in secret."

Yan An looked at the broken teacup on the ground and said, "This teacup looks familiar."

"Oh~ I remember now, Gu Yunxuan's things, and they're on the first floor. Well done, Yue Xiyuan, you've learned how to rip people off."

"An'an taught him well; he dared to slam his fist on the table in the Regent's Palace—he's gotta be killed!"

What do you think is his purpose in coming today?

"You've brought out the water from Tianshan Mountain to force me to show myself, and you've mentioned the Linglong Pavilion multiple times. I wonder if you're trying to test whether the Linglong Pavilion has any connection to me."

"Did we get too angry and let him leave a little too soon?"

"It's because he's useless and impetuous!"

I didn't expect this guy to hold a grudge.

"I thought he would ask about Yue Zhixiao and Chen Jingshu."

"Logically speaking, Yan Shaoheng shouldn't know them. If he were to ask them rashly, wouldn't that be an admission of guilt? If he wanted to find out, he would have to do so in secret."

Yan An agreed, "Yes, that makes sense."

"Your Highness and Your Highness, they've already seen him off. Yan Shaoheng broke the armrest of his wheelchair as soon as he left the house. You didn't see it, but Yan Shaoheng's face was as black as charcoal in winter, hahahaha..."

"But An San must have traveled to quite a few places to make this tea."

"Of course, Your Highness, you don't know, when I went to Mingxiangfang, I begged and pleaded and even mentioned your name, saying that it was for someone Your Highness didn't like, and that's how I got this treasured tea from the bottom of my chest."

So this tea was originally ordered by the manager of Mingxiangfang.

"Well done."

"I still have plenty more, and there are quite a few teacups as well. If Yan Shaoheng comes again, I will continue to brew tea for him."

"Okay, keep them all for him."

After being pushed out of the Regent's Palace by Cheng Ying, Yan Shaoheng was so angry that he gripped the wheelchair tightly with both hands and snapped the handles with a crack.

The master and servant dragged their tattered wheelchairs along the most bustling street in the capital.

Yan Shaoheng had walked this street countless times in the past few days, but only today did he realize how big a mistake it was to build Yuelaike in the most prosperous place.

This street is so long, it feels like all I can hear are people talking about him.

Just as Yan Shaoheng was passing by Gu Yunxuan, a hawker's cry made him break the right handle as well.

"Don't miss out! Freshly fired teacups, buy one and get a free set! Honest and fair dealing, come and take a look!"

Yan Shaoheng pushed the wheelchair over.

"This humble servant has met Prince Heng. Is Prince Heng interested in this teacup? No matter what you buy in the shop today, this humble servant will give you a tea set as a gift."

The waiter didn't know why the dignified Prince Heng would be interested in such a broken teacup. Could it be that the Yan Kingdom didn't even have such a poor teacup?

This is a bit too pitiful. He'll send a few more to Prince Heng later.

Xiao Er imagined a whole drama unfolding in his mind.

"Master, this teacup is exactly the same as the one in the Regent's Palace, even the chip on the cup is the same." Cheng Ying was about to say that this teacup was exactly the same as the one in the Regent's Palace, even the chip on the cup was the same.

Yan Shaoheng picked up a teacup and crushed it to pieces in an instant.

The waiter was startled and immediately sensed something was wrong; this was none other than the Prince Heng of Yan.

"It's all my fault for bringing you this broken teacup. I didn't expect it to be so flimsy. Please forgive me."

Yan Shaoheng's fingers clenched so tightly they cracked, and his body temperature dropped instantly, startling the waiter so much that he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Please forgive me, Prince Heng. Please forgive me, Prince Heng. I did not mean it."

[This month, Xiyuan actually dared to have his servants make him tea with this kind of stuff! To insult me ​​like this, he really is something else.]

Apart from the year Yan Shaoheng's legs were crippled, although many people mocked him, Yue Xiyuan was the first person to openly insult him like this today.

[You just wait, Yue Xiyuan. I will definitely turn you into a Gu poison master. Then we'll see how you kneel at my feet begging for mercy.]

Yan Shaoheng ignored the kneeling waiter and turned around to be pushed back to Yuelai Guest by Cheng Ying.

The waiter, who was kneeling on the ground, was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. After Yan Shaoheng left, he collapsed to the ground.

Another waiter saw this and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you sitting on the ground?"

The waiter simply waved his hand and shook his head.

"Although the Regent is ruthless, that's only towards those who have done bad things. He is very kind to us common people. I always thought that all royal families in the world were like this. Only today do I realize that it is a blessing to be born as a citizen of Yue Kingdom."

The other waiter, not understanding what he was talking about, turned around and went back into the shop.

The waiter slowly got up and cleaned up the teacups that Yan Shaoheng had crushed.

"What a pity for such a good thing, even though it has some defects."
