After hearing these words, the shopkeeper next to him began to kneel down slowly, but his legs were still shaking and weak.
After all, even Lord Cui had already knelt down. How could he not know that the reason why Lord Cui was so fast was because the person in front of him was a real person!
After kneeling down, Lord Cui slowly raised his head and glanced at Qian Ruoyu secretly.
It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but once he did, he was shocked, because he discovered that the clothes Qian Ruoyu was wearing actually complied with the princess' regulations!
Although it is simple, the fabric of this uniform can only be worn by princesses and princes.
Because there was a phoenix pearl hairpin hanging in Qian Ruoyu's hair, which was a hairpin that only princesses and imperial concubines could wear.
And those imperial concubines would obviously stay in the palace and would not normally leave the palace.
Among all the princesses, the most famous one recently is Princess Ye. Apart from her, other princesses are not as arrogant as Qian Ruoyu. Qian Ruoyu's fame has already spread to the Censorate.
Therefore, Lord Cui was able to confirm that the person in front of him was Princess Ye!
This made Lord Cui a little frightened, because he had just called Qian Ruoyu a wild woman!
When the waiters behind Qian Ruoyu saw this gesture, even the head shopkeeper knelt down before her, how could they not understand what she meant?
Therefore, almost everyone knelt down towards Qian Ruoyu at the door at the same time.
Qian Ruoyu had already come to the table and took a quick look, and found that the table was almost full of fish and meat.
Therefore, Qian Ruoyu just said calmly.
"Master Cui, you have such a good taste. You are not in the inner court of the palace to report to His Majesty at this time, but come here to enjoy a feast. If I remember correctly, your salary as the Imperial Censor should not be much, maybe only a dozen taels of silver?"
The Grand Censor was affiliated with the Censorate and was originally one of the Three Dukes. Later, he was demoted step by step to the Grand Censor, and his original salary was over a hundred taels of silver.
However, he was less and less trusted by every emperor later on, and there were many suicidal censors who openly attacked the emperor in court meetings in order to make themselves appear more clean and noble.
But the consequence of doing so was that the Emperor increasingly lost the trust of the Censor, and eventually not only was he demoted in rank, but even his salary was reduced to a few tenths of his original amount.
The price of this table full of fish and meat must be more than ten taels of silver, which means that the Imperial Censor Cui would need more than a month's salary to afford this couple's meal.
A smart person could tell at a glance that there was something fishy about this meal.
After Qian Ruoyu said this, the Imperial Censor Cui was even more shocked and said hurriedly with trembling voice.
"This...this...Princess, this..."
Qian Ruoyu said with a smile.
"This is all invited by the head shopkeeper here, right?"
After hearing this, Lord Cui nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, yes... Princess, you are right. The chief innkeeper and I are old friends... The chief innkeeper invited me to dinner today, so I guess that shouldn't be too much, right?"
Qian Ruoyu ignored him and said these words coldly instead.
"What does it have to do with me? I just want to know who the wild woman you just called is. Could it be me?"
Qian Ruoyu's answer to her own question, which she knew the answer to, shocked the chief shopkeeper and Mr. Cui.
Because it was these two who just called Qian Ruoyu a wild woman!
It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid!
They may not be afraid of Qian Ruoyu, but they must be afraid of the current prince Chu Mobai!
Although Chu Mobai usually looks submissive and gentle, he is extremely ferocious and brutal in battle. He shows no mercy to those who misunderstand him in the court.
Therefore, Chu Mobai is a person that even the Imperial Censor dare not offend!
Not to mention that the chief shopkeeper was just a commoner, and he actually dared to insult the princess. This was enough to sentence him to death!
Imperial Censor Cui quickly shook his head to deny it.
"No, no, no... I didn't say anything just now. I was just... I was talking about the woman next to me!"
As he spoke, Lord Cui immediately pointed at the woman next to him.
When the woman next to her heard this, she was so frightened that her legs went weak and she knelt down in front of Qian Ruoyu, but she couldn't say a word.
Qian Ruoyu naturally knew what the role of that woman was, but Qian Ruoyu did not reveal it. After all, it was easy to deal with Lord Cui!
Not to mention the delicious meal he had, the three words he used to insult her as a wild woman were enough to punish him, and fifty strokes of the cane were obviously not a problem.
In addition, because he refused to kneel when he saw the princess, and was called a wild woman, it was not just a simple beating. After being sent back to the Censorate, he might not even be able to be a Censor. Being a floor sweeper in the Censorate was pretty good!
Therefore, Qian Ruoyu didn't care whether Lord Cui would resist her or not. She walked directly to the main seat and kicked Lord Cui aside with a light kick.
Lord Cui was frightened by the kick, and he quickly rolled to the side, still kneeling in the direction of Qian Ruoyu.
Qian Ruoyu spoke to the woman kneeling beside her.
"Wipe the seat for me."
The woman didn't dare to say anything more. She also knew that Qian Ruoyu in front of her was of noble status, so she hurriedly used her sleeves to wipe the seat.
After the woman finished wiping, Qian Ruoyu said to her.
"Okay, there's nothing for you to do here, you can leave now!"
After hearing this, the woman quickly looked at the shopkeeper, who said fearfully.
"You... since the princess asked you to leave, you should leave quickly!"
When the woman heard this, she hurried towards the door.
Qian Ruoyu also sat on the main seat.
The Chief Censor raised his head from time to time and looked at her from the side. When he found that Qian Ruoyu was only looking at the chief shopkeeper, he had to lower his head.
He didn't dare to say anything at this time. He could only kneel aside and wait for Qian Ruoyu's decision. If Qian Ruoyu was in a bad mood, she could easily control him.
Qian Ruoyu looked at the chief shopkeeper and said calmly.
"Boss, you are so leisurely. This princess asked to see you when she was downstairs, but your people actually told this princess that you were meeting a nobleman. What a great honor!"
"But it's true. It's OK that you don't know me, the princess. I guess it's because your big red building is getting bigger and bigger, so your face is getting higher and higher. I can't invite you anymore, right?"
As soon as Qian Ruoyu finished speaking, the chief shopkeeper shook his head like a rattle.
"No, no, no... Princess, you misunderstood! It's not like that..."
