Chapter 547: Broken Engagement
It was already midnight when Luo Qinghan returned to the palace.
He simply washed up and fell asleep with Xiao Xixi in his arms.
He woke up not long after sleeping.
Eunuch Chang tiptoed in and helped the prince change his clothes and wash.
When the prince left Qingge Palace, the sky had just begun to brighten.
Luo Qinghan got into the carriage and looked back at the gate of Qingge Palace.
King Xiling wanted to kill people to silence them, but unfortunately failed. If he knew that Xiao Xixi was still alive, he would definitely find a way to silence her.
As the crown prince, Luo Qinghan has a lot of things to do every day and it is impossible for him to stay in Qingge Palace all the time.
"Always happy."
"The servant is here."
"Send a message to Zhao Xian later and ask him to send a few more people to guard Qingge Hall, including those inside Qingge Hall. Send people to protect them secretly."
Eunuch Chang responded respectfully: "Yes."
After the small court meeting ended, King Luo Yechen couldn't wait to leave the council hall.
He left the palace, mounted his horse, and headed straight for Liuguang Pavilion.
Liuguang Pavilion is one of the only two restaurants in Shengjing City that can rival Donglai Tower, and is the favorite gathering place for dignitaries in the city.
Ever since the cheating case in the college entrance examination came to light, Donglai Building was closed down. Having lost such a big competitor, Liuguang Pavilion's business is now booming and is packed with customers every day.
It was not even time for dinner yet, but the seats in Liuguang Pavilion were already full.
A rich young man wanted to go in to eat, but was stopped by the waiter.
The waiter bowed and said, "I'm really sorry, our restaurant is full right now. Why don't you go sit in the teahouse across the street for a while? I'll go over and let you know when there's a seat available."
The rich man was very dissatisfied.
He came to Shengjing City with his family to do business.
He is a well-known figure in his hometown. Wherever he goes, he is always followed by people. He has never encountered a situation where he wants to eat but there is no seat.
The rich young man wanted to get angry, but was held back by his entourage.
His followers advised him to keep a low profile. This was Shengjing after all. In this place where the rich and powerful gathered, a random brick could hit an official. Since Liuguang Pavilion could stay here and do such a prosperous business, there must be someone behind it. Don't provoke them easily.
The rich young man remembered his father's instructions before he went out, so he could only suppress his anger and planned to go to the teahouse across the street to sit for a while.
Just then, a luxurious carriage stopped at the door of the restaurant.
The King of England jumped out of the car without asking anyone to help him.
He asked the waiter, "Are there any seats left?"
When the waiter saw that it was the King of England, he immediately put on a smile and said attentively, "Yes, yes, yes! No matter when you come, we have seats in Liuguang Pavilion! I will take you in right away."
The rich man was so angry that his nose almost became crooked when he saw this.
He grabbed the waiter's arm and demanded angrily.
"Didn't you just say that the place was full? Why did you change your mind when this person came? Aren't you obviously looking down on me?!"
The waiter lowered his voice and explained: "This is the King of England. He is not only the eldest son of the Emperor, but also the young master of our Liuguang Pavilion. He has his own private room here. No matter how many guests there are, that room must be reserved for him."
The rich man was frightened.
He didn't expect that this person's background was so powerful.
He subconsciously looked towards the King of England.
Luo Yechen often comes here to eat. He is very familiar with this place. Even if there is no one to lead the way, he knows how to get there.
At this time, he had already walked some distance inside and didn't notice the movement behind him at all.
The waiter shook off the rich young man's hand and hurriedly chased in the direction the King of England left.
The rich young man said stupidly, "It's worthy of being called Shengjing. You can run into a prince just by going out for a meal."
The attendant urged, "Let's go quickly."
The master and servant left in disgrace.
The private room belonging to Luo Yechen was in the innermost courtyard. As soon as he sat down at the table, the shopkeeper came hurriedly.
"I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming. I was sorry for not welcoming you. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Liuguanglou is actually a property under the name of Concubine Hui. Concubine Hui lives in the palace and it is not convenient for her to show up in public. This restaurant has always been managed by Concubine Hui's family members. She only needs to sit back and wait to collect the money.
Luo Yechen would come to Liuguanglou to eat from time to time. Everyone here, from the shopkeeper to the waiters, knew his identity and were all in awe of him.
He asked, "Has Marquis Dingyuan not arrived yet?"
He sent an invitation to Marquis Dingyuan early this morning, inviting him to have lunch here at noon.
The shopkeeper answered truthfully, "They haven't come yet. I have someone guarding the door. As soon as Dingyuan Hou arrives, he will bring him here immediately."
Luo Yechen: "Well, I guess he should be here soon, go to the kitchen and prepare the meal."
The shopkeeper asked cautiously, "I wonder if Marquis Dingyuan has any dietary restrictions?"
Luo Yechen had never met Dingyuan Hou before, so how could he know what he was afraid of? He said casually, "You guys can do whatever you want."
"OK."
The shopkeeper personally poured him tea and asked someone to bring him some fruits and snacks, then he retreated respectfully.
Luo Yechen had no appetite.
His mind was now filled with thoughts on how to tell Marquis Dingyuan about canceling the engagement.
He looked down at his reflection in the teacup and began to imagine that this reflection was Marquis Dingyuan.
He gathered his emotions for a moment, then spoke seriously.
"My Lord, I respect you as a man, but I really don't have any romantic feelings for your daughter..."
Before he even finished speaking, he felt that this was not a good idea. It was too blunt and could easily hurt people.
Although he was annoyed by Bu Shengyan, he really respected Dingyuan Hou.
He had to consider Marquis Dingyuan's face.
He put on a sad and helpless expression.
"Miss Bu is a very good girl, but unfortunately I am not worthy of her..."
"No, no, this is too hypocritical. Marquis Dingyuan will definitely not believe it."
Luo Yechen frowned, then put on a smirk.
"Your Majesty, you may not know this, but I actually have a lot of bad habits. Not only am I a playboy, I also love drinking. When I'm drunk, I beat women..."
"Wait, Bu Shengyan seems to know martial arts, and her martial arts skills are higher than mine."
Luo Yechen cursed.
He picked up the teacup irritably, drank the tea in one gulp, then slammed the teacup on the table, completely giving up.
"My Lord, to be honest, I am actually a homosexual!"
The door to the private room creaked open.
Marquis Dingyuan was standing at the door with a cane.
The shopkeeper followed behind him.
The shopkeeper looked shocked, his mouth opened into an O shape.
Luo Yechen: “…”
It was like something exploded in his brain.
There was only a blank space left.
who I am?
Where am I?
What did I just say?
