Chapter 169 No Poison, No Man
After being moved for a moment, Prince Qing quickly made a choice.
"No one is a man without ruthlessness."
"A real man should take action when it is time to do so."
"My dear nephew, go ahead and do it. Uncle Wang supports you."
The third prince was moved and held Prince Qing's hand.
"Uncle Wang, you are really the best to me."
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have a hope of competing for that position."
"If I can really get the great treasure in the future, I will definitely respect Uncle Wang as my father-in-law."
"I share Da Chu with you."
Qingwen was even more moved.
So when the third prince looked at him as intended, he asked a question.
When asked, "Uncle Wang, how do you think I should deal with the Ministry of Rites?", Prince Qing only thought for a moment and then gave a name.
This person is a pawn planted by Prince Qian in the Ministry of Rites, and is also an important official in charge of receiving Beiliang and his entourage this time.
If something happens to this person, especially if the problem involves Chu Tianming.
How could Chu Tianming have the nerve to continue receiving Bei Liang and his group?
How can Chu Tianming hook up with Princess Dugu Yanran if he can’t come into contact with Beiliang and his group?
The third prince was deeply moved.
"Uncle Wang, don't worry, I will definitely kill him!"
…
…
Chu Tianming finally walked out of his mansion and came to Honglu Temple.
Today's negotiations have just concluded.
The people from the Ministry of Rites and Beiliang all had dry mouths and looked listless.
Da Chu is trying to gain more benefits, while Beiliang is trying to minimize the damage to its interests.
So every contract they negotiate plays a crucial role in the future.
Everyone looked extremely tired.
Chu Tianming smiled and clapped his hands.
"Everyone has worked hard. I will be your host tonight and invite everyone to have a good meal at Zuixianlou, the best restaurant in the capital."
"Zuixianlou has launched a dish called stir-fried vegetables, which is very flavorful. I think many of my friends who come to Beiliang have never tried it. I must try it today."
"By the way, Zuixianlou's most famous dish is their Shenxianzui, which is really delicious and makes people feel like they are in heaven."
After hearing Chu Tianming praise the things in Zuixianlou as the best in the world, Beiliang and his companions also became curious.
The culture and cuisine of Da Chu have always been worthy of praise.
If even the prince who is a chef thinks something is delicious, then it must be good.
Especially looking at the officials from the Ministry of Rites next to them, each of them was eager to try.
This makes it even more certain that Zuixianlou must be a good place.
So a group of people went to Zuixianlou in a mighty manner.
then……
"No place?"
Chu Tianming frowned.
He never expected that he, a prince, would be rejected by the manager of a hotel when he came here to have dinner with officials from the Ministry of Rites and a group of people from Beiliang.
The shopkeeper also smiled bitterly.
"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince. The seats are really full and there is not even a vacant seat. How dare I deceive Your Highness, the Seventh Prince?"
This seventh prince really does what he wants.
Their Zuixianlou business is so popular that the reservation has to be booked for three months later.
It turned out that the food tasted good, so we just came to eat it without any prior notice, and brought so many people with us.
Even if he wanted to arrange it, he couldn't.
And although the Seventh Prince is of noble status, who among those who can eat in the First Old House is an unknown person?
Could he really drive his bread and butter out of Zuixianlou just to make room for the Seventh Prince, who was not reserved?
"I brought Beiliang and his group to your Zuixianlou for dinner, and you told me there was no room?"
Chu Tianming felt extremely embarrassed as he felt the gaze coming from behind.
Without even looking back, he knew that in the eyes of the Beiliang people, his status as the seventh prince would surely plummet.
I went out to have a meal, but was rejected by the shopkeeper.
Especially since Dugu Yanran was among the group of people.
He had just left a very bad impression on Dugu Yanran, and now Dugu Yanran saw such an embarrassing scene.
For a moment, the seventh prince's gaze towards the shopkeeper seemed to be poisoned.
The shopkeeper was also a former veteran, so he was naturally very sensitive to murderous intent.
When I saw the Seventh Prince's eyes, I knew that he was really angry with me.
The Seventh Prince just had no place to eat, and no one was deliberately making things difficult for him, yet he actually wanted to kill people.
No, I must go back and tell the prince about this person and tell him to be careful with the Seventh Prince. A person with a petty mind and vicious heart must not be made a close friend.
The shopkeeper made a secret decision in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face.
"Seventh Prince, you are unlucky today. If there is a seat available, I will definitely help you find one."
"How about you go to a smaller time? At least I can make room for you to have a good meal with you and your friends."
"All expenses, including small drinks, are free for you. What do you think?"
Chu Tianming laughed in anger.
"Does this prince need you, a shopkeeper, to treat me to a meal?"
"Is it the food money I need?"
What Chu Tianming wants is face.
What is money?
He has plenty.
For a moment, Chu Tianming wanted to murder the shopkeeper in front of him even more.
Shopkeeper: ...
This seventh prince is really unreasonable.
"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, I will tell you the truth."
"In fact, today Zuixianlou is reserved by His Royal Highness Prince Jing. The entire Zuixianlou is filled with Prince Jing's guards and black-armored guards."
"How about I go in and talk to His Royal Highness Prince Jing to see if I can find a place for you?"
"You also know that the owner of our Zuixianlou is actually His Royal Highness Prince Jing. I really mean it..."
The shopkeeper shrugged his shoulders, looking helpless.
In fact, it was reminding Chu Tianming.
They, Zuixianlou, also have a backer, and that backer is His Royal Highness Prince Jing.
If you are really powerful, go and offend King Jing, don't take it out on him, a small person.
Chu Tianming: ...
The murderous intent in my heart dissipated almost immediately.
I almost forgot that Chu Wuxiang is behind this Zuixianlou.
This is my father's most beloved nephew and the minister he respects the most.
Even these princes had to step back when facing Chu Wuxun.
If there was a conflict with him, there was no doubt that my father would stand on Chu Wuxun's side and blame me.
Sometimes I really don’t know whether I am my father’s son or Chu Wuxun’s father’s son.
Chu Tianming took a deep breath.
I know that it is useless to threaten the shopkeeper in front of me.
But if I just leave like this, wouldn't I be embarrassing myself in front of Uta and Kitaryo?
He had just entered the Ministry of Rites and his foothold was not stable. If he embarrassed himself in front of the officials at this time, how would he be able to manage these people in the future?
Beiliang and his group were even more worried. They must not show any weakness in front of Dugu Yanran.
So Chu Tianming took a deep breath and strode into Zuixianlou.
He's just Chu Wuxun, what's so scary about him?
