"I really didn't know that you were coming in person. If I had known, I would have sent all the servants out to greet you!"
"No, no, no... In addition to all the waiters, I will also call out all the cooks and the helpers in the kitchen to welcome the princess together!"
After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu felt somewhat satisfied, but he also knew that he would never do that.
After all, it is the most popular red building in the whole capital. How could it do such a thing for a mere woman like me?
But Qian Ruoyu just said calmly.
"Really? It's rare that you are so filial. I appreciate it!"
"This princess will not waste any more time. This time, I need the help of your Great Red Mansion. If you are unwilling to help, it's okay. This princess will find another way!"
After hearing these words, the shopkeeper immediately saw stars and nodded quickly.
He could hear that Qian Ruoyu came this time hoping that Dahonglou could help, and if he could help Qian Ruoyu, perhaps the previous matters could be written off!
Insulting the princess just now is a capital crime. If he can help Qian Ruoyu, he feels that he can escape the death penalty.
Besides, can you offend the royal family so easily?
The fact that she was able to let bygones be bygones is a sign of good fortune in the future.
So he quickly lowered his head and spoke more respectfully.
"If you need any help, please feel free to ask!"
"Although our Dahonglou is the largest restaurant in the entire capital, we also know that it is all thanks to God's grace and the prince's victories that we can have such a peaceful life and our restaurant has flourished..."
"So no matter what happens, please feel free to ask, Princess. As long as our Red Mansion can do it, we will do our best to help!"
Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly. This was exactly the attitude she wanted.
After all, the chief manager now has the upper hand in my hand, so how could I be afraid of him?
"You should know about this matter. The old lady of Duke Su will hold a grand birthday banquet in two days. It will be held in our Yewang Mansion."
"We are short of chefs and helpers in our mansion, so this time I hope that the Red Mansion can help with the birthday banquet. However, I didn't expect that I would be so unwelcome here..."
Before Qian Ruoyu could finish her words, the chief shopkeeper hurriedly spoke.
"No, no, no, that's not true. Princess, if you come here in the future, just come to me! Those servants are blind and don't know that you have condescended to come to our small red building. If you come and find me directly, I will prepare the best welcome ceremony for you!"
"This time... two days later, right? Then in two days, our ninth floor will take a break for a day and send all the people to the Night Palace. May I ask if this method is feasible, Princess?"
Hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu felt that she was indeed valued.
Sure enough, now that we have the evidence in hand, this matter becomes much easier to discuss.
Qian Ruoyu still spoke calmly.
"Is this okay?"
"If I delay your business for a day, will it cost you tens of thousands of taels of silver?"
The chief shopkeeper quickly shook his head.
“No, no, no…”
"How can doing business compare to helping the Night King and the Night Princess? Please rest assured, Princess, all of us will go to the palace to help that day... There will definitely be no accidents..."
After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu nodded with satisfaction.
"In that case, I have finished telling you about my princess. If there is nothing else, you can leave now."
These words made the manager feel as if he had been granted amnesty. He quickly left the room with the people around him and even closed the door considerately.
At this time, Lord Cui, who was kneeling in the corner, was at a loss for a moment.
Although there were only him, Yan'er and Qian Ruoyu in the room, this scene made him feel extremely oppressive.
Qian Ruoyu looked at the table full of delicious food and wine, then glanced at Lord Cui who was kneeling on the ground, and just felt amused.
Qian Ruoyu didn't know what kind of reputation Lord Cui had in the court, but from his actions, it could be seen that being the Censor was probably a good place to make money.
Otherwise, how could he have ordered so many good things?
The fact that he was favored by the head manager of Dahonglou showed that his position was indeed quite lucrative.
Qian Ruoyu then simply spoke calmly to Lord Cui.
"Get up and sit over here. I have something I want to talk to you about."
Lord Cui stood up tremblingly, but did not dare to sit down.
Qian Ruoyu didn't mind him being like this and just spoke calmly.
"Okay, what are you doing here? Tell me yourself. I will only give you this one chance. If you don't speak well or say something wrong, I will have no choice but to open the door and leave!"
After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Lord Cui felt extremely scared, because he had no idea what Qian Ruoyu had mastered.
Although Qian Ruoyu looked like she was here to prepare for the birthday party, her words and actions made him feel suspicious and strange.
When Qian Ruoyu saw his expression, she knew that Lord Cui's paranoia might have been caused by her.
Qian Ruoyu originally intended to use this method to get some information out of this guy and see if he had any intentions here. If he did, that would be great, but if not, it didn't matter.
Lord Cui raised his head slightly and glanced at Qian Ruoyu.
"This... Princess, how could I discuss other matters here? Moreover, this is a restaurant, not the imperial court, so it is even more impossible for me to discuss state affairs!"
"I just... just came here to drink and have fun..."
But after hearing what he said, Qian Ruoyu just snorted coldly.
"You are still so stubborn even when you are about to die. It seems that you are not going to talk anymore. If that is the case, I will let the people of Jingzhao Prefecture pry your mouth open!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Ruoyu stood up and prepared to leave.
When Lord Cui heard this, he hurriedly ran towards the door, stood in front of Qian Ruoyu, and knelt down again.
"Princess!"
"Princess! This... Aren't you embarrassing me? I am just a small imperial censor. How can I possibly know anything? I came here just to... enjoy myself!"
Seeing him like this, Qian Ruoyu was sure that Lord Cui did not lie and was just enjoying himself here!
