Open to the store
The lamps returned to their respective owners.
The two groups looked at each other for a while, and except for Jin Manyue and Xiaozhu, everyone felt that the atmosphere was subtle.
Just at this moment, the clueless Jin Manyue suggested: "Since we are so destined to be together, why don't we light lanterns together?"
Liu Zaixi: “Ah?”
Qiu Wuji: "All good."
Seeing Qiu Wuji agreed, Jin Manyue was naturally happy.
Liu Mubai said at this time: "But it seems that you two want to go to the other side of the river."
Jin Manyue explained: "He doesn't like crowded places because he finds them noisy, so he wants to go to the other side where there are fewer people."
Xiao Zhu couldn't understand the relationship between them and just said, "That young master and you are really in love. In such a noisy place like the Lantern Festival, he is willing to accompany you to release lanterns."
Qiu Wuji ignored Xiao Zhu's words and looked at Liu Zaixi: "It's okay to be together. Besides, we are not partners."
"Ah, isn't it?" Xiao Zhu was surprised.
Liu Zai Xi naturally knew that the last sentence was spoken to him, but he ignored it.
A world was created where only Kim Man-wol was hurt.
The group headed towards the crowded shore, because Xiaozhu liked lively places, and Xiaozhu was the only one who wanted to concentrate on releasing lanterns.
When they arrived at the shore, Xiaozhu excitedly placed the lantern on the river, closed his eyes and made a wish, and Jin Manyue did the same.
While the two of them closed their eyes and made a wish, Qiu Wuji approached Liu Zaixi and asked quietly, "How about you think about that matter again?"
Liu Zaixi gritted his teeth and said, "No discussion, I don't like you."
Qiu Wuji: "I really won't think about it anymore."
Liu Zaixi: "Don't consider it, grilled fish is fine."
Just then, Jin Manyue and Xiaozhu had fulfilled their wishes, and Qiu Wuji stood aside silently.
Jin Manyue ran over and said to Liu Zaixi, "Miss Liu, right? Are you interested in going shopping together?"
Liu Zaixi couldn't bear to see a girl who was kept in the dark happily inviting her rival, so he refused: "It may be a little late today, and we are both a little tired."
"It's a little late, so let's meet again."
Liu Zai Xi smiled and nodded, then quickly pulled Liu Mubai and Xiao Zhu to retreat.
Qiu Wuji stood under the willow tree, watching Liu Zaixi holding Liu Mubai's hand, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"My Lord, let's go back."
"Um."
Throughout the whole process, it seemed that Xiaozhu and Jin Manyue were the only ones happy.
Liu Zaixi didn't let go until he had pulled the two of them to a place far away from Qiu Wuji.
Liu Mubai lowered his head and looked deeply at the hand that had been held.
"Miss, why are we in such a hurry?"
Liu Zaixi touched Xiaozhu's head and said, "Zhu, stay away from those two people next time you see them, okay?"
Xiao Zhu was puzzled: "Why?"
"You are still young, you will understand later."
Xiao Zhu put her hands on her hips and said, "I'm only two years younger than you, Miss."
"Okay, okay, Xiaozhu has grown up."
Seeing that Liu Zai Xi was just evasive, Xiao Zhu stopped asking questions.
The three of them returned to the store. Liu Zai Xi was indeed tired. She was not the energetic person.
"Okay, have a good rest today. We still have to work tomorrow and the store will open in a few days."
Liu Zai Xi closed the door, leaned against it, and exhaled a breath of foul air.
Survival in ancient times was so tiring.
Qiu Wuji and Jin Manyue were sitting in the carriage. Jin Manyue asked cautiously, "Is Your Majesty happy tonight?"
Qiu Wuji thought for a moment, and in his mind, he saw Liu Zaixi's amusing expression. He said, "It's not bad."
Hearing the affirmative answer, Jin Manyue felt relieved.
This night is destined to be extraordinary, as everyone has their own secrets.
Time flies. The opening day is just one day away and all the preparations have been completed.
Liu Zaixi decided to experiment first to make sure the taste was suitable and that he definitely didn't want to eat hot pot.
Prepare the base ingredients, add the boiled bone soup and boil.
With friends right beside her and delicious food in front of her, Liu Zaixi picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. This is the life she wants.
Liu Mubai didn't move his chopsticks, and Liu Zaixi noticed, "Why don't you eat? I cooked it very successfully."
Ever since Liu Mubai came to the store, he had no goals and didn't know what to do.
A stiff puppet, this is how Liu Zaixi described Liu Mubai.
Fortunately, with everyone's step-by-step guidance, I can finally act like a normal person.
Liu Zaixi told Liu Mubai that they are all your friends.
Liu Mubai picked up the chopsticks, looked at everyone, and suddenly felt that this was not bad.
There is no need to worry so much, just know that he will protect Liu Zai Xi and protect this kind of life.
The third opening has arrived.
Liu Zai Xi did not arrange anyone to promote at the door again. It was already very thorough last time. He just wrote the words "exclusive dishes" at the door.
Old customers who like the product will naturally come in, and those who are curious will also come in to try it out.
Business is still booming, and with Liu Mubai here, there is no need to worry about anyone causing trouble.
Everything seemed to be on track, but there was the variable of Qiu Wuji.
Liu Zai Xi was counting money at the front desk when suddenly cheers came from outside the door.
Liu Zai Xi looked up and looked outside the door. There were crowds of people around and he had no idea what was happening outside.
When I walked outside, I saw a carriage. But why did this carriage look so familiar? It was the same carriage that appeared a few days ago.
At that time, I heard a passing girl say, "Who was it? King Heng?"
King Heng.
Liu Zai Xi realized that things were not simple.
As expected, Qiu Wuji walked down from the carriage in plain clothes.
The situation got out of control and screams rang out one after another.
Liu Zai Xi covered his ears and hid behind the door, praying that Qiu Wu Ji didn't see him.
Qiu Wuji got off the carriage and looked around. Not seeing the person he wanted to see, he went straight in with Han Yi.
Now the crowd suddenly rushed into the store.
Liu Zai Xi was squeezed behind the door and could not stand, so he could only let the crowd push him around.
Until my feet slipped and I fell into someone's arms.
The surroundings were quiet. Liu Zaixi opened his eyes and saw Qiu Wuji's indifferent face.
Liu Zaixi got up from his arms and kept a certain distance. The eyes of the people around him were all on the two of them.
Liu Zaixi pretended to be fierce: "What are you looking at? Eat if you want to. If not, get out. Why are you crowding in my shop?"
It was so grand that it really scared away a lot of people.
The noise was so loud that it attracted everyone in the kitchen.
The people in the kitchen didn't understand the situation and were listening to the discussions of the people around them.
"Why would His Royal Highness Prince Heng come to a restaurant like this?"
"I don't know, but since His Royal Highness Prince Heng is here, it means this restaurant is really good."
"I want to eat at this restaurant too. Maybe I can even use the same pair of chopsticks as His Royal Highness Prince Heng."
Xiao Zhu had just arrived in the capital, but she knew who King Heng was. Now, looking at this face, which was exactly the same as the person who released lanterns with her yesterday, she almost fainted.
He whispered in Liu Zaixi's ear: "Miss! The person who released lanterns with us a few days ago was actually His Royal Highness Prince Heng!"
Liu Zai Xi felt nothing. She looked at the people in the store and only knew that this person had caused her a lot of trouble.
When Zhang Jude learned that the person in front of him was King Heng, his eyes lit up again and again.
He immediately stepped forward and said, "It is truly a great honor for our shop to have His Royal Highness Prince Heng come to visit us."
Guo Hua and Pan Ji were also extremely excited.
Seeing that several people were in the same situation, Liu Zai Xi held his forehead and smiled bitterly. Before he could say anything, the chefs happily invited him to the private room.
Qiu Wuji's actions brought a lot of traffic to the store. The store was full and Xiao Jia and Xiao Yi were very busy.
After Qiu Wuji was invited to the private room, Xiaozhu was serving as the waiter. Three people from the kitchen came out and urged Liu Zaixi, "Boss, hurry up and entertain the important customer!"
From beginning to end, the only one who remained calm was Liu Mubai. As if he didn't see Qiu Wuji, he was busy with the tasks assigned by Liu Zaixi.
Although Liu Zai Xi didn't want to see Qiu Wuji, he was worried about Xiao Zhu having to deal with it alone, so he went to the box.
At that time, Xiao Zhu was entertaining guests incoherently and couldn't even finish a sentence.
Liu Zai Xi asked Xiao Zhu to go outside and handle it alone.
Watching Xiaozhu push the door open and leave, Liu Zai Xi had a forced smile on his face.
"May I ask what your Highness Prince Heng wants to do by visiting again?"
Qiu Wuji said calmly, "Besides eating, what else can you do in your restaurant?"
Liu Zai Xi resisted the urge to beat up the person in front of him.
"What would your Majesty like to eat?"
"The one you wrote outside."
Liu Zaixi wrote down the dishes Qiu Wuji wanted to eat and pushed the door open to go out.
Han Yi said from behind Qiu Wuji: "Your Majesty, isn't this a bad thing for us to do?"
"What's wrong?"
"If the Emperor knew what the prince did, he would probably blame you."
"Let him be."
Han Yi couldn't control Qiu Wuji and could only shrink back in shame.
Never underestimate people's gossip skills. One person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred, and soon it reaches Jin Manyue's ears.
Jin Manyue's maid came to report.
"What, the prince is in a spicy restaurant."
"Yes, now everyone in the capital has crowded over there."
Jin Manyue's eyes turned, "Prepare the carriage."
Soon, the carriage from the Prime Minister's Mansion also stopped in front of the store.
The crowd erupted again.
"Oh my god, isn't this the carriage from the Prime Minister's Mansion? How come it's in this store?"
"Who the hell is this store?"
"Never mind, I'm going in first. I've been waiting for a seat for a long time, and it's finally my turn."
Jin Manyue got off the carriage and looked at the plaque.
“How spicy and delicious?”
Turning to the maid, he asked, "What is this?"
The maid explained: "I don't know either, but it seems to be a restaurant that specializes in spicy food."
Jin Manyue doesn't like spicy food, but she tries her best to see Qiu Wuji.
As he strode into the store, someone recognized Jin Manyue.
"Isn't this the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Why is she here in this shop?"
Liu Zaixi had just ordered Xiaojia to bring out the dishes when he saw Jin Manyue and was shocked.
Oh my god, did you not check the almanac when opening the store today?
Jin Manyue happened to see Liu Zaixi and became confused.
When Liu Zaixi saw Jin Manyue coming towards him, he knew he couldn't hide anymore.
"Why are you here?" Jin Manyue asked suspiciously.
Liu Zaixi cleared his throat and suddenly clapped his hands. "Oh, what a coincidence! The people I met last night were actually the daughter of Prince Heng and the Prime Minister's Mansion. It's so wonderful! His Highness Prince Heng happened to come to my shop. I didn't expect fate to be so wonderful that now even you are here."
Jin Manyue was suspicious, but finally believed it. After all, Liu Zaixi enthusiastically let Jin Manyue and Qiu Wuji share a private room.
Qiu Wuji was eating when the door was pushed open.
Jin Manyue was still a little surprised to see that it was indeed Qiu Wuji.
Who would have known that the cold-faced and unapproachable King Heng would actually like hot and spicy food.
When Qiu Wuji saw that Liu Zaixi brought Jin Manyue, although there was nothing on his face, the disgust in his tone was self-evident.
"Why are you here?" Qiu Wuji put down the beef on his chopsticks and sat upright in his seat.
Jin Manyue explained, "I heard there was a shop that was booming in the capital, so I thought I'd come and take a look. I didn't expect it to be run by Miss Liu, and I didn't expect to meet His Highness."
Qiu Wuji naturally didn't believe this. Half of the capital should have known that he had eaten in the restaurant.
Liu Zaixi interrupted: "Your Highness Prince Heng, there is no room in the store. Since Your Highness and Miss Jin are familiar with each other, let's go together."
Qiu Wuji neither agreed nor explicitly refused, he just stared at Liu Zaixi.
Liu Zai Xi got goosebumps from being stared at, and without caring whether Qiu Wuji agreed or not, he ordered Xiao Zhu to add a seat.
Han Yi looked at the three people and just wanted to leave this suffocating place as soon as possible.
Just as Liu Zaixi was about to leave, Qiu Wuji said, "Change the soup base to extra spicy."
Jin Manyue looked at Qiu Wuji. She naturally couldn't eat it.
Liu Zai Xi also looked at Jin Manyue, but Qiu Wuji should have more power, so he listened to Qiu Wuji.
The soup base was changed to extra spicy.
Liu Zai Xi timidly arranged for his two masters and retreated.
Back in the kitchen, Xiao Zhu was excitedly describing what had happened in the past few days to a few people.
Seeing Liu Zaixi coming out, Xiaozhu immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss, it would be great if you could become friends with His Royal Highness Prince Heng and Miss Jin."
Liu Zai Xi didn't say anything and drank the water that Liu Mubai handed to him.
"Xiao Zhu, let me ask you, what kind of person is the King Heng that you heard about?"
Xiao Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Back in Huaizhou, I heard that Prince Heng was no longer in the capital in his early years, but was instead campaigning on the border. I heard he was invincible and quite powerful, but he was also unkind and aloof."
"Then how do you think such a person could be friends with people like us? Besides, the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't sound like someone you can easily mess with."
Xiao Zhu nodded thoughtfully and gave up the naive thoughts in his mind.
