Chapter 466: His achievements are so great that they will inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion
"This is not the place to talk. Let's go somewhere else." Jing Luobai suggested.
"Okay." Lu Li nodded in agreement.
Jing Luobai took them to a store he often visited with ease.
Lu Li discovered that this was actually the shady shop that had cheated them in the first place.
But now it has changed its name and become a hot pot restaurant.
The shopkeepers and waiters were also replaced.
"What are you looking at, Your Highness?" Yu Shutong asked with a smile.
"It reminded me of some past events." Lu Li also laughed.
"What's the matter?" Lu Can was very curious.
I can't ask about General Jing and his wife, but I think he can always ask about these past events.
Lu Li then told him about the last time she met the waiter who looked down on people here.
Lu Can was speechless.
"That person is so ignorant. Do you and Daddy look like people who can't afford to eat?"
"With our family's financial resources, we are more than capable of purchasing this restaurant."
"You don't understand. At that time, those shop owners and waiters all looked down on people and were very arrogant." Lu Li clicked his tongue twice.
"If it weren't for Master Qu who proposed the concept that customers are the kings and opened a hot pot restaurant focusing on service, teaching those merchants who are too ambitious a lesson, they would probably still be indifferent now."
When Qu Songnian heard the Crown Princess praising his father, a proud smile appeared on his face.
His dad is awesome!
"It's good to have a coupon, otherwise these merchants won't think about serving their customers well. They should be allowed to compete actively. This suggestion made by my father will really benefit all the people." Qu Songnian nodded in agreement, his words full of respect for his father.
"Excuse me, distinguished customers, please make way. The hot pot base is here." The waiter, dressed in a neat work uniform, brought the hot pot base with a smile and enthusiasm.
Qu Songnian and Long Aotian, who were sitting on the outermost side, quickly moved aside to allow them to put the pot bottom in place.
There is fine silver charcoal under the hot pot, which produces very little smoke and makes it very convenient to eat hot pot.
If you think the fire is too big, you can move the copper sheet underneath to isolate the charcoal fire.
Long Aotian couldn't help but sigh: "I have to say that Lord Qu is really a talent. Whether it is improving our Daxia's strength or food, he has unique insights."
"That's right. My father has countless brilliant ideas and can often turn ordinary things into something magical." Qu Songnian, who has always been low-key and humble, couldn't help but agree when he heard someone praising his father.
"Lord Qu is indeed amazing, but the Emperor is even more amazing. He has a keen eye and can recognize Lord Qu's abilities." Yu Shutong took over the topic with a smile.
Her eyes fell on Qu Songnian, but then turned away for a moment.
Qu Songnian was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
He understood that the lady was reminding him!
Although his father is very powerful, if his achievements surpass those of the emperor, it will inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion.
No matter how powerful you are, you can't be more powerful than the Emperor and the Crown Princess.
"That's right. It's because of a wise ruler like the emperor that my father can devote himself wholeheartedly to Daxia." Qu Songnian clenched the cup and quickly agreed.
"Eat. Stop saying these polite words." Lu Li wanted to laugh.
Qu Songnian finally reacted and knew he had to be careful with his words and actions.
She is not that petty person.
This guy is far inferior to his father.
It seems that if he wants to transform from Little Lord Qu to Lord Qu, he still has a long way to go.
Everyone was enjoying the hotpot in a lively atmosphere.
Lu Li asked about the emperor's eldest sister.
"The eldest princess and her husband are doing fine. The prince has already begun to take over the management of part of the gold mining." Yu Shutong answered her questions one by one.
"In the blink of an eye, An An has grown up and can stand on her own. The eldest sister is so lucky." Lu Li couldn't help but sigh.
[If I also had a child, I could let her be the emperor and I could rest.]
[Why are human babies so fragile? They can't grow up to be teenagers right after birth. That would save us a lot of trouble.]
Lu Li muttered to herself.
Fengqi: ...
Ah Li's idea is really shocking.
Lu Can thought about the scene described by his ninth sister: a baby was born, and its hands and feet immediately grew to the size of an adult...
Can’t think about it. Can’t think about it.
That scene was quite scary.
Lu Can shook his head frantically, trying to get those images out of his mind.
"What about Ranran? What is Ranran doing?" Lu Li asked about the eldest sister's second child, Pei Liran.
"The second young master is interested in weapons, and the eldest princess plans to send him back to the capital when he turns 14 to develop weapons at the armory of the Ministry of War." Yu Shutong and Lu Yao became good friends, so she knew a lot about her.
"My second son will go with you then to keep the second young master company." Yu Shutong added with a smile.
"That's good. Everything has been arranged for the two children. What about Yuan'er?" Lu Li was very concerned about her nephews.
"The little princess will go to school next year, so it's a good opportunity for my Yiyi to take care of her." Yu Shutong smiled.
Like the eldest princess, she gave birth to two sons before having a daughter.
After chatting with several nephews, Lu Li asked Jing Luo about the situation of pirates in Baihai Sea, whether anyone was still hijacking merchant ships, and how their training was going.
Jing Luobai answered in an orderly manner.
Seeing that his answer was similar to what she had found in the melon-eating system, Lu Li was quite satisfied.
Jing Yiyi found what the adults said boring and she couldn't understand it at all.
She kept eating.
Soon, while others were still chatting, she had finished her meal.
She rubbed her belly and tugged at her mother's sleeve: "Mom..."
Seeing so many people, she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that her daughter seemed embarrassed, Yu Shutong took the initiative to lean over.
"I want to go to the toilet." Jing Yiyi answered in a low voice.
Maybe because the food was too spicy, she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach.
"Okay, Mom will go with you." Yu Shutong nodded and wanted to get up.
"No need, I can do it myself. We have been to this Laosi Hotpot several times, I know the way!" Jing Yiyi shook her head and refused.
"Okay, then you'd better go back quickly and don't go to other places to play. If you have any problems, just call the maid at the door, okay?" Yu Shutong sat back in her seat.
They eat at Laosi Hotpot every time they come to Langya. The kitchen and toilet here are very clean.
There were even maids waiting at the door to hand out soap and help with hand washing and changing clothes.
There are people everywhere, so there is no need to worry about my daughter getting lost.
"Yiyi knows." Jing Yiyi nodded and immediately ran to the bathroom.
"Don't we need to send someone to follow her? She's still young, what if she gets lost?" Lu Li was a little worried.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. We have been to this Laosi Hotpot many times. Yiyi is familiar with the place and will not get lost. Moreover, she has a whistle with her, and the sound of the whistle is very penetrating. If we encounter danger, we will know as soon as she blows it." Yu Shutong explained patiently.
"That's fine." Lu Li nodded, took a look with the gossip system, and found that the little girl did go to the bathroom, so she didn't care anymore.
Everyone is very happy to meet old friends in a foreign land.
While they were eating, a sharp whistle was heard, and both Yu Shutong and Jing Luobai's faces changed.
