Lu Zheng and Gu Xin felt that Bai Yi's analysis was correct. They only needed to reveal this matter to the Lin family, and the Lin family would naturally find a solution without them having to do anything.
Lu Zheng patted the man in white on the shoulder: "As expected of you!"
The man in white clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lu Zheng and said, "Isn't this something you learned, General Lu?"
Lu Zheng smiled helplessly: "Should I say something like 'the student surpasses the master'?"
The man in white curled his lip: "Don't try to take advantage of me, kid. I'm older than you."
Lu Zheng: "This has nothing to do with age."
Gu Xin interrupted the two of them: "Stop talking, or when will we ever finish this meal? Look over there..."
Gu Xin tilted her chin slightly in a certain direction.
Lu Zheng and Bai Yi looked over, and well, there were several envoys from Nanlin staring at them expectantly.
The four of them stopped talking and buried themselves in their food.
Meanwhile, Prince Tian and Lu Ni ate their own meals after Gu Xin and the other three had finished eating.
The two ate different things; they ate separately.
"Wow! Miss Lu, what are you eating over there? It smells so good!" Prince Tiantian had only taken a few bites of his own food when he smelled the aroma coming from the other side of the screen.
Lu Ni ignored him completely and ate slowly by herself.
Prince Tiantian was furious and got up to walk over to Lu Ni.
The constables from the Dali Temple were still very responsible in stopping Prince Tian Tian: "I'm sorry, Prince Tian Tian, Princess Xin Xin just gave instructions that the two of you are not allowed to meet again."
Gu Xin did send someone over to stop the two from continuing their argument, so now there are not only yamen runners from the Dali Temple in the room, but also a minor official from the Ministry of Rites who speaks Dongzhe language.
The clerk from the Ministry of Rites translated the words of the yamen runner to Prince Tian Tian.
Prince Tian Tian was displeased: "How can this be? You're only allowed to let the girls of your Great Zhou beat me up, but I'm not allowed to go and see what the girls of your Great Zhou eat?"
The clerk from the Ministry of Rites translated his words to the yamen runner, and then went to dismiss Lu Ni.
As a result, Lu Ni calmly drank her soup, as if she hadn't heard anything. In the first place, Lu Ni didn't need him to translate; she already knew what Prince Tian Tian was saying.
Unexpectedly, the constable also chimed in, "Brother, this problem is now yours. I may not be good with words, but I can stop people."
A minor official in the Ministry of Rites: "..."
He had no choice but to explain to Prince Tian Tian, "Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for me. I was just following orders!"
Prince Tian glared at the minor official from the Ministry of Rites: "I don't care, I just need to know what she ate. Otherwise, next time I meet His Majesty the Emperor, I'll tell him that you haven't treated me well, and you didn't even let me eat what a noble lady of the Great Zhou ate. I'll specifically name you."
The clerk from the Ministry of Rites smirked and then said very enthusiastically, "That's easy. I'll have someone prepare the same food for the eldest prince as Miss Lu Si right away."
After saying that, he went to the door to give instructions.
Prince Tian then leisurely turned around and sat back down at the table.
He started making sarcastic remarks about Lu Ni again: "Fourth Miss Lu, do you think you've been taking some kind of beauty supplement? You were upset by my comment about your looks earlier, so you're trying to improve it? Let me tell you, you can't change your appearance. You're what you're meant to look. There's nothing you can do about it. Your looks are what your parents gave you, and you can't change them later in life."
