"Do we know each other?"
Gong Xiurong asked tentatively.
The other party quickly retracted his gaze and coughed lightly: "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
Mu Nanjin, who was following behind Gong Xiurong, saw that it was Sheng Linmeng and asked in confusion: "Master Sheng, why are you here?"
Sheng Linmeng explained: "My mistress wanted to go out for a stroll in the capital, so I brought her out. Lord Mu, why are you here too?"
Mu Nanjin said, "I'm bringing my friend here to drink soup, do you want to come in with me?"
"If possible, of course I want to go in, but do you have a reserved seat? If you don't have a reserved seat, you can't go in."
"I am the owner of Tangshen Mansion."
Sheng Linmeng was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "You are the owner of Tangshen Mansion? That's great, Lord Mu, wait a minute, I will go and invite my master over. By the way, the prince of Jiuyu Kingdom is here too."
Mu Nanjin didn't mind: "Then come together."
"Okay." Sheng Linmeng turned around. Suddenly, she thought of something and turned around again and asked, "Master Mu, the friend you are talking about is..."
Mu Nanjin looked at Gong Xiurong: "Him."
Sheng Linmeng's pupils shrank slightly.
"Wait a minute, I'll go back and tell the princess now."
She hurried back to the eldest princess and said, "Princess, Tangshen Mansion is the shop of Master Mu Nan Jin Mu. She invited us to come in together."
The princess nodded, then turned to ask the Crown Prince of the Nine Territories: "Prince, do you want to come together?"
The prince of Jiuyu Kingdom said with a smile: "How can we miss the shop opened by Lord Mu?"
"that……"
Sheng Linmeng looked hesitant.
The eldest princess saw that she had something to say: "What's wrong?"
Sheng Linmeng glanced at the Crown Prince of Jiuyu Kingdom.
The Crown Prince of Jiuyu Kingdom knew that she wanted him to avoid her, but he didn't do as she wished. He pretended not to look at her and continued to stand there, making Lin Meng so angry that her teeth were itching.
The princess said: "If it doesn't involve confidential information, you can tell me."
Sheng Linmeng walked up to her and said in a low voice, "Master Mu came with a friend, who was the former emperor of the ancient Dongzhao Kingdom, Gong Xiurong."
She said this incident to remind the eldest princess and others not to offend this person.
The eldest princess looked slightly stunned.
The emperors of ancient countries are not people they can offend. Even if they have abdicated, they must be treated with courtesy.
The Crown Prince of Jiuyu Kingdom, who had been eavesdropping, asked, "Master Sheng, are you sure you saw that?"
Sheng Linmeng said: "That person has a stunning appearance. Even a single glance at him will leave a deep impression in my mind. I can guarantee that I am not mistaken."
The princess was puzzled: "How do you know he was the previous emperor? Have you met him?"
"I had the honor of meeting him at the coronation ceremony of the new emperor of the ancient country of Dongzhao. The people all praised him as a wise ruler and a good emperor. Unfortunately, after his beloved concubine died of illness, he no longer cared about government affairs and abdicated."
The Crown Prince of Jiuyu Kingdom said: "So he is just a prince now?"
Sheng Linmeng added: "Yes, but he has another identity, that is, the son of the Queen of the Ancient Beihan Country."
The Crown Prince and the Princess of Jiuyu Kingdom: "!!!"
"He is the most beloved child of the empress of the ancient Beihan Kingdom. The empress once visited the ancient Dongzhao Kingdom in person just for him, just to let everyone know that Gong Xiurong is her most beloved child. For him, the empress is willing to risk her life."
No matter which country or dynasty, the emperor would never leave his own land and visit another country as a guest. This is tantamount to seeking death or giving others the opportunity to assassinate him.
This shows that the empress of the ancient Beihan Kingdom really loves the child Gong Xiurong.
"I understand."
The eldest princess turned to the fourth princess and sternly warned her, "Don't talk later. If you want to talk, go back to me."
The eldest princess said, "Let's go quickly and don't keep them waiting for too long."
"good."
The Crown Prince and the Princess of Jiuyu Kingdom brought their people to the gate of Tangshen Mansion.
Mu Nanjin greeted him: "Crown Prince, Princess, please come in."
The Crown Prince and the Princess of Jiuyu Kingdom nodded, and while Gong Xiurong was not paying attention, everyone quickly glanced at him.
The envoys from both countries were amazed. She was indeed stunningly beautiful, and her appearance was comparable to that of the imperial teacher.
When Shopkeeper Ye saw Mu Nanjin arriving, his eyes lit up and he hurried over to greet him.
"Girl, you are here."
Mu Nanjin asked: "I'm bringing someone here to drink soup, is there any seat available?"
"have."
Even if you don't have it, you have to have it.
Shopkeeper Ye said, "Miss, there are so many of you. Would you mind sitting in the back hall of the courtyard?"
"Um."
Gong Xiurong saw that Shopkeeper Ye didn't see him, so he had to ask himself: "Mother Ye, do you still remember me?"
Shopkeeper Ye looked at Gong Xiurong and said in surprise, "Old Boss, Old Boss, you are back?"
Gong Xiurong smiled slightly: "Come back and take a look."
Shopkeeper Ye asked cautiously, "You're not going to take back all three brothels, are you?"
Gong Xiurong laughed: "I can't take it back even if I want to. Look at this place, is it still like the old Xiaoqinglou? Look at you guys again, can you still receive customers like before?"
"No." Shopkeeper Ye couldn't help but smile as he looked at the young prostitutes who had turned into strong men: "To be honest, it's really thanks to the old boss that he gave the three brothels to the girl that we can live a normal life today. Old boss, I'm not saying you're not good, it's just that the girl is better."
Compared to others, Gong Xiurong is really a good boss. He never forces them to accept customers.
If they didn't receive customers, he would still support them. However, if they didn't receive customers, they would only have half a tael of silver per month, which would make it impossible for them to redeem themselves.
Now they get 100 taels of silver per month, which is more than the salary of an official. At the end of the year, they will also get dividends. According to the income of Tang Shenfu, each of them will have at least 20,000 taels of silver. In a few years, they will also be rich.
Gong Xiurong nodded: "It can be seen that Mu Nanjin did a better job than me."
When they arrived at the backyard lobby, Manager Ye arranged for them to sit down.
Mu Nanjin introduced each other's identities to Gong Xiurong and the others.
When the Crown Prince and the Princess of Jiuyu Kingdom heard the name Gong Xiurong, they further confirmed that he was the former emperor of the ancient Dongzhao Kingdom. Unfortunately, they could only pretend that they did not know his identity.
Mu Nanjin asked Shopkeeper Ye to prepare fruits and pastries, and also told her to prepare food for lunch.
Shopkeeper Ye acted quickly. He first asked someone to bring the soup, and then sent someone to buy fruits and pastries.
Gong Xiurong and the eldest princess drank some soup and immediately felt different all over. Even the fatigue left from the journey was gone.
"It tastes good." The Crown Prince of Jiuyu Kingdom said as he drank, "Although I know there are some things I can't ask, I still can't help but ask, Lord Mu, what ingredients did you put in the soup?"
Gong Xiurong turned to look at Mu Nanjin: "It can't be..."
What he wanted to talk about was something about the world of cultivation.
Mu Nanjin nodded.
At the right time, the waiter from the store came in carrying fruits and pastries.
Gong Xiurong picked up a tangerine, peeled it and placed it in front of Mu Nanjin, jokingly saying, "Do you still want me to feed you?"
At that moment, the atmosphere in the room became very quiet.
Please give me a monthly ticket. Please give me a monthly ticket.
