Who are you?
The waiter turned around and scolded him directly.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the waiter frowned slightly, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes, which disappeared in an instant.
This man was dressed in silk, making him look like a rich young man!
However, the waiter was not someone to be trifled with. There were plenty of wealthy young men in the capital, and he didn't care about this one person.
"have a finger in the pie!"
The waiter snorted coldly, showing no fear whatsoever.
"Oh!"
The young man couldn't help but laugh. "I'm really going to meddle in this mess today!"
Let me tell you, this scholar is not only going to eat here today, but he's going to eat the best!
"You want to eat here, so you eat here?"
The waiter, however, showed no fear.
At this moment, a man in fine clothes came down from upstairs and said coldly, "What's all the noise about? What's going on?"
The man in the brocade robes had just come downstairs when he saw the young man; his expression changed drastically. He quickly walked over, knelt on one knee, and said, "Greetings, Your Highness Prince Xin!"
Your Highness?
These four simple words completely stunned the waiter, striking him like a bolt from the blue.
This young man is actually His Highness Prince Xin?
The waiter stared at Prince Xin with shock and fear, swallowing the words he was about to say, his whole body trembling slightly.
"His Royal Highness King Xin,"
The man in brocade robes said respectfully, "His Highness is already waiting for you upstairs. This way, please."
"good."
Li Xin replied calmly.
He glanced at the waiter and said, "This scholar can eat here. I'll take care of his meal."
With that, Li Xin walked upstairs without looking back.
The waiter was stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
After a moment, the waiter came to his senses and said with a fawning expression, "Your Highness, how could I dare to let you pay? I was blind to your greatness, please forgive me."
As he spoke, the waiter bowed respectfully.
They breathed a sigh of relief after watching His Highness Prince Xin go upstairs.
This time, he no longer dared to kick the poor scholar out; instead, he served him good food and drink.
Sitting at the table, Huang Zheng was still somewhat shaken.
That person just now was actually His Highness Prince Xin?
He actually stood up for me?
Most importantly, what Prince Xin said shocked him even more—
Things change, and fortunes shift; never underestimate a young person's potential!
Isn't this exactly what I've been pursuing?
A determined look appeared on Huang Zheng's face. He was determined to work hard and strive for excellence from now on!
I want to teach those who look down on me a lesson: never underestimate a young person's potential!
Huang Zheng secretly made up his mind.
In her heart, she also felt a little more favorably toward Prince Xin.
...
Second floor, private room.
"Third brother, you've finally arrived."
As soon as Li Xin walked in, Crown Prince Li Ming smiled and asked, "Did something happen downstairs just now?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's nothing serious."
Li Xin smiled and waved his hand, then sat down in the private room.
Li Ming glanced at Li Xin, then at the man in brocade robes. Seeing that his expression remained unchanged, he didn't press the matter further.
After sitting down, Li Ming held up his wine glass and said with a smile, "Third brother, this Dongning liquor tastes really good!"
It's invigorating and flavorful!
Third brother, this is a wonderful gift for all wine lovers in the world!
"Ha ha,"
Li Xin chuckled a few times and said, "Dongning liquor isn't exactly a good liquor."
It's simply because Dongning is located in the Northeast, where it's freezing cold, that people use this method to get through the winter.
"If Your Majesty likes it, I'll have Qingyu Trading Company send a little more to the palace."
"That's so embarrassing."
Li Ming smiled and waved his hand, saying, "In my opinion, I should pay for it."
However, the Qingyu Trading Company is doing so well that I only hope my third brother can remind him to leave a little extra for his older brother.
"That's only right."
Li Xin nodded in agreement.
"Speaking of Qingyu Trading Company,"
Li Ming took a small sip of Dongning liquor, shook his head with some enjoyment, and said, "Business is really good!"
It's so good that even my brother is a little envious!
A while ago, bar soaps and soaps were all the rage in Beijing!
Before this trend had even subsided, Dongning Perfume appeared.
"You know what, last time I brought back those bottles of perfume from Father Emperor, your sister-in-law was so happy. She asked about them several times and even wanted to buy more."
"These past few days,"
Crown Prince Li Ming looked up into Li Xin's eyes and said, "The palace has sent several groups of people to Qingyu Trading Company to buy Dongning perfume, but they haven't been able to buy much."
Not only are the prices high, but the quantities are also limited.
On the black market, the price can even reach more than ten strings of cash per bottle.
With such a high price, my third brother must have made a considerable profit, right?
Li Xin clearly saw a burning glint in Li Ming's eyes.
Perfume profits?
Could it be that Li Ming is planning this?
"Brother, this perfume won't make much money."
Li Xin smiled and waved his hand, saying, "The reason why a few dozen strings of cash are sold on the black market is because the quantity is small and people are speculating on it."
Meanwhile, at Qingyu Trading Company, a bottle of Dongning perfume sells for 2,999 copper coins, which is barely enough to cover costs.
"Third brother, you're hiding your true abilities."
Li Ming smiled slightly.
"No, no."
Li Xin gave a wry smile and replied, "Brother, you have no idea how difficult it is to make Dongning perfume."
The fragrance of Dongning perfume comes from extracts of spices and sachets.
