After hearing what Jingzhao Yin said, the four young detectives could no longer hold on. Their legs went weak and they fell to their knees on the ground.
"Your Majesty and Empress, please forgive me!" The young detectives kowtowed repeatedly.
"Plop! Plop!" With two sounds, the shopkeeper and Captain Zhang also fell to their knees on the ground.
"Your Majesty..." The shopkeeper was so frightened that his face turned pale and he couldn't speak.
Suddenly, everyone smelled a strong smell of urine and saw a stream of liquid flowing down the shopkeeper's legs.
He was scared to death.
"I was blind and didn't recognize the great man. Your Majesty and Empress, please spare my life!" Captain Zhang kowtowed his head to the ground.
"It was the shopkeeper who asked me to come!"
The three waiters who were previously beaten by Debao and Sangqi were standing at the door watching the fun, but now they were scared to the point of peeing their pants.
Xia Miaoyuan made faces at the people kneeling on the ground: "Lululu, I said I am a princess, I am a princess, and you still don't believe it!"
"Humph, you want to roast my fur!"
Xia Miaoyuan glanced around the room, as if looking for something.
She finally set her eyes on the date paste cake that had fallen on the ground. She picked it up with her small hands and threw it at the people kneeling on the ground one by one.
Those people didn't dare to dodge, they just knelt there and waited.
"Let you bully others!"
"Let you curse!"
"It makes you want to roast this princess's fur!"
Xia Miaoyuan cursed fiercely, and smashed things while cursing.
Those people's bodies, faces, and heads were covered with snack crumbs, but they didn't dare to dodge or resist, which made them look very funny.
Maomao seemed to understand human nature as well. He rushed forward, twisted his butt, and kicked those people hard with his two hind legs.
"Good kick, good kick, kick harder!"
Xia Miaoyuan stood aside and clapped his hands to cheer for Maomao!
At this time, the diners outside the door who were trying hard to squeeze in to watch the excitement were also shocked. They saluted and shouted "Long live" to the people inside the house.
"It really is the Emperor and Empress leaving the palace incognito!"
"I didn't expect the Emperor and Empress would actually come to a place like this to eat."
"I didn't expect the Emperor and Empress to be so low-key when leaving the palace."
"I didn't expect the Emperor and Empress would come to eat barbecue!"
"You're stupid! The kebab was invented by Princess Anguo. It's not surprising that they came to eat it."
"The shopkeeper and Captain Zhang are in big trouble now."
For a moment, the diners who were watching the fun started talking at once.
"Your Majesty, what is going on?" Jingzhao Yin looked around with a puzzled look on his face.
The private room where Emperor Mingxi and his entourage were staying was in a mess due to a fight.
The table broke into several pieces and fell to the ground, and the cups, plates and bowls were all smashed to pieces.
"We are just leaving the palace..." Emperor Mingxi just opened his mouth and wanted to explain when he heard a commotion in the corridor.
"Make way, the boss lady is here! Princess Jinse is here!" a male voice shouted.
Immediately afterwards, many people came to greet Yao Jinse.
At this time, a soft female voice sounded: "Where is Shopkeeper Sun?"
"You guys are really capable. You even asked me to come here for free. Wouldn't it be better to just send them to the authorities? I'm very busy at the Tianxiang Restaurant."
The footsteps and the soft female voice were getting closer and closer, and stopped abruptly when they reached the door.
Yao Jinse stood at the door of the private room and froze on the spot when she saw Emperor Mingxi, the Empress, and Princess Anguo sitting inside.
"Ah, what... is going on?!"
After she finished speaking, she quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Jinse pays respects to the Emperor and Empress! I didn't know the Emperor and Empress were coming, so I'm late. Please forgive me!"
Emperor Mingxi glanced at Yao Jinse and stood up without saying anything, his face expressionless.
"So this shop was opened by Princess Jinse. That's perfect." Debao stepped forward and said slowly.
"Princess Jinse, do you know? Today, the Emperor and Empress suddenly felt like taking the little princess out of the palace incognito to gauge the people's sentiments. And yet, someone in your shop framed them as a liar!"
Debao stood in front of Yao Jinse and spoke word by word.
Yao Jinse turned pale with shock: "Jinse doesn't know!"
Immediately, she looked at Shopkeeper Sun, who was kneeling beside her. "Shopkeeper Sun! You actually think the Emperor and Empress are freeloaders!"
"How can you be so confused!"
Yao Jinse stood up and slapped the shopkeeper Sun and several waiters.
"It wasn't me, it was the three of them who said that two people came to the private room, pretending to be the emperor and the empress, and they ate for free." Shopkeeper Sun said crying.
Yao Jinse slapped the four people in her shop, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "It's their stupidity that led to this huge mistake. I beg the Emperor and Empress to punish them!"
"Empress, please take them away and deal with them. Jinse has no complaints!"
Yao Jinse knelt upright, the panic on her face eased a little, and a firm look appeared in her eyes.
Xia Miaoyuan looked at Yao Jinse and said, "You're really capable. You were the one running this shady business, allowing your men to do whatever they wanted, and now you're getting away with it."
Emperor Mingxi said sternly, "Yao Jinse, there's something wrong with your store."
"I just ordered some barbecue with the Queen and the Princess. The texture and taste of the meat were terrible."
"The taste was so bad, I wanted to pay and leave, and never come back again. But when the waiter came to check, he charged us eighty-five taels of silver for these plates of barbecue."
"Although I have lived in the palace for a long time, I am not completely detached from the mundane world. A minor official in the capital city only earns twenty or thirty taels of silver a month."
"For an ordinary family of three, the monthly living expenses are only half a tael of silver."
