Chapter 756: Wealthy
The waiter smiled and said, "I'm sorry, not only the private rooms, but even the tables in the lobby are full. This is the last empty table."
Xiao Xixi rolled her eyes and smiled slyly.
"I remember that the King of England has a private room here. Can you lend it to us?"
The guy said in embarrassment: "Isn't this a bit bad?"
That is the private room exclusively for the King of England. No one else is allowed to use that room except the King of England and the guests he invites.
If someone secretly used that private room and the King of England found out, he would definitely be furious.
The guy feels he can't bear this responsibility.
Xiao Xixi: "Call your shopkeeper over, I'll talk to him in person."
The waiter quickly called the shopkeeper over.
The shopkeeper was reluctant to give up the King of England's private room at first, but then Xiao Xixi whispered a few words in his ear.
His expression changed immediately.
He subconsciously looked at Luo Qinghan, plucked up the courage to observe him carefully, and found that this young man did look somewhat similar to the King of England.
His legs felt weak and he wanted to kneel down to salute, but Xiao Xixi stopped him.
"No need to be so polite, we're just out for fun and don't want to cause too much noise."
The shopkeeper dared not say anything now and obediently led them to the private room.
After settling them, the shopkeeper left the private room and immediately sent someone to the King of England's palace to tell the King of England about the Emperor's incognito visit.
Soon, the King and Queen of England arrived at Liuguang Pavilion in a carriage.
When the two entered the private room, the dishes had just been served.
Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan were not at all surprised by the couple's arrival.
The British king and queen came forward to pay their respects.
Bu Shengyan: "Not only His Majesty but also the Imperial Concubine have come to visit us. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you."
Luo Yechen looked at the emperor, then at the imperial concubine, and thought that the emperor really liked the imperial concubine and even brought her out for dinner.
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "Everyone, please sit down."
Four people sat around the table.
When Bu Shengyan saw the table full of dishes, she thought that the emperor must have expected their arrival, which was why he ordered so many dishes.
The British king and queen first toasted the emperor and concubine to show their welcome.
Xiao Xixi drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating the food happily.
After a long time, the chef's skills in Liuguang Pavilion have reached a higher level!
Luo Qinghan asked: "Is your arm injury better?"
Luo Yechen patted his arm and said proudly: "I have recovered a long time ago. The doctor said that I have a good physical foundation and I will recover faster than others."
Bu Shengyan thought to herself, that was just a polite remark from the doctor, but you took it seriously and even showed it off to the emperor. Are you stupid?
Luo Qinghan: "I have already taught Prince Jing a lesson, you should try to stay away from him in the future."
Luo Yechen said dissatisfiedly: "He is the one who should stay away. I will beat him up every time I see him in the future!"
Bu Shengyan coughed twice, signaling him to speak less.
Even if they were dissatisfied with Prince Jing in their hearts, they should not show it in front of the emperor, as it would appear that they were too petty.
Fortunately, Luo Qinghan had long been accustomed to Luo Yechen's bad temper and did not take it too seriously.
He said calmly, "I have something to discuss with the King of England."
Luo Yechen was very surprised. It was really rare that the emperor took the initiative to discuss things with him!
He is now just an idle prince with nothing in his hands except money. What can you discuss with him?
Luo Yechen pretended to listen attentively.
"You say."
Luo Qinghan shared his idea of purchasing supplies for the winter.
“The money should have come from the national treasury, but the ministers in the court were opposed to this.
I don't want to waste my precious time arguing with them, so I want to discuss it with you.
I borrowed some money from the Gao family and wanted to purchase supplies and send them to Fengyang County.
If Fengyang County is safe and sound, everyone will naturally be happy.
If Fengyang County is unfortunately hit by a disaster, the money will be returned to the Gao family from the national treasury with interest afterwards."
Luo Yechen and Bu Shengyan looked at each other.
Bu Shengyan had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but she knew that now was not the time for her to speak, and this matter had to be decided by Luo Yechen.
Luo Yechen was very proud.
In the past, he always asked the emperor for help, and now it is finally the emperor's turn to ask him for help.
He is so prestigious!
Seeing that he was almost laughing, Bu Shengyan quietly pinched his waist to remind him to be more restrained and not show his joy so much.
The emperor is the emperor after all. It is rare for him to put aside his pride and come for help. If he is really annoyed, Luo Yechen will be the one who suffers in the end.
Luo Yechen was frightened and the smile on his face froze.
He held his waist and turned to look at his princess: "What are you doing?"
Bu Shengyan glared at him.
Luo Yechen immediately gave up.
He rubbed his waist, not daring to be complacent anymore, and asked in a muffled voice.
"How much money does your majesty want?"
Luo Qinghan: "Two million taels of silver."
Luo Yechen raised his chin and snorted disdainfully.
"It's just such a small amount of money, but those ministers are unwilling to give it. They are really stingy! Your Majesty, don't worry, I will send the money to you tomorrow. Do you want cash or banknotes?"
Luo Qinghan: "Don't you need to discuss this with the Gao family?"
Luo Yechen couldn't help but lift his tail again and laughed triumphantly.
"No need. I already have a share in the Gao family's business. My mother left me a lot of property. I get nearly one million taels of silver in dividends every year. Two million taels of silver is just a small thing for me. I can take it out by myself. There is no need for the Gao family to know."
Luo Qinghan smiled and said, "As expected of the King of England, you are indeed wealthy and powerful."
Luo Yechen was even more proud: "Haha, I don't have anything else but a lot of money!"
Bu Shengyan held her forehead silently and didn't want to say anything more.
Once again, she was deeply grateful.
Fortunately, the current emperor still has some brotherly feelings towards Luo Yechen.
If he were replaced by a cold-blooded, selfish and greedy emperor, Luo Yechen would have become meat on the chopping board. After all, money can move people's hearts.
Luo Qinghan raised his glass and clinked it with Luo Yechen.
"Thank you for this time."
Luo Yechen straightened his chest and said, "We are all brothers, why should we be polite? If you need money in the future, just tell me, I will protect you!"
Bu Shengyan: “…”
How dare this fool say such things? !
She looked apologetic and said, "Your Majesty, the King of England tends to talk nonsense when he drinks, so please don't bother with him."
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "It's okay, I'm used to it."
When the three of them finished chatting and were ready to eat, they found that the dishes on the table were empty.
Where's the food?
The three of them looked at Xiao Xixi together.
Xiao Xixi touched her round belly and burped contentedly.
Luo Yechen asked in disbelief.
"So many dishes, did you eat them all?"
Xiao Xixi smiled sweetly, revealing a shallow dimple at the corner of her mouth.
"Um."
Luo Yechen was stunned. Not only did this woman look like Concubine Xiao, but her appetite was also similar to Concubine Xiao's.
Is there really such a coincidence in things?
