There was tea on the table. Qing He poured a cup of tea and took two sips. The hot and dry feeling lessened a lot.

The people around them were eating and chatting, all sorts of things being said.

Qing He listened to their casual conversation and sipped on his tea, feeling very satisfied.

Suddenly, she frowned.

"Let me tell you a piece of news, yesterday when the Fourth Prince went to visit the Prime Minister's Palace, he stayed with Su Qinghe for a day."

"You only just found out. The news has already spread throughout the city. Even now, I still don't believe it."

"Why did the Fourth Prince do that? Aren't you afraid of tarnishing his reputation?"

"I think it's Su Qing and the one who intentionally seduced the Fourth Prince. Su Qing and that beauty, which man wouldn't be moved upon seeing them?"

"Why is the Fourth Marquis so superficial? Su Qing and the Fourth Marquis must be pestering him not to let go."

"At that time, I even went to the Prime Minister's Palace to talk about marriage. Su Qing He is also a rare girl. I didn't expect her to be defiled by a thief. I'm afraid she won't be able to get married."

"I've also mentioned marriage, and I heard that she committed suicide before. I reckon that it's true, with her talent and looks, it's not impossible for her to marry into the Imperial Family."

"This matter is very strange. I heard that the best doctors in the city said that she was hopeless, but she suddenly came back to life. It can't be that she's a ghost, right?"

"It's possible. Rumor has it that she even pushed her sister into the water after she woke up. She was punished with a confinement for that."

"That's right, I didn't know she was so scheming in the past. She was the most malicious of women."

"..."

The discussion between the two men had developed to the point where the entire room was discussing matters of reconciliation.

Little Zhu saw that Qing He's face was unfriendly, and hurriedly consoled her. "Miss, why don't we go to another place?"

Qing He shook his head. "No need, let's eat here."

Qing He didn't expect his discussion to be so intense, and the wind review to be so poor. At first, there were only two or three people discussing it, but after that, everyone started to gather in groups and started to discuss it with great interest.

Qing He felt very upset. After all, those people had made her speak in such an embarrassed manner that they had splashed dirty water on her.

She really wanted to leave, but she found that she could hear a lot of news from these people. They could let her know what they thought of her and understand Su Qing He better. She took a sip of tea and continued listening.

A tall man said with disdain, "I think Su Qing and the Sixth Prince are quite compatible. Both of them are devastatingly beautiful, but the Sixth Prince is both male and female. He has many male pets in his house.

A girl stood up and retorted, "Su Qing is not fit to carry shoes for the Sixth Prince. She is the young lady of the Prime Minister's Estate, but she has a prostitute mother and is only a concubine. Furthermore, she has completely disgraced us women."

Soon after, someone echoed, "That's right, my Sixth Prince is so outstanding. If only I could marry him, I could also be his maid."

"That's right, that's right."

"Su Qing He's mother, Liu Ruyun, was famous throughout the world. She did not sell herself, and her personality was gentle and amiable. Other than her low status, all men wanted to marry her. It was said that the Emperor also had the same intention. I was bewitched by her back then, but now I am too."

The person beside him said, "That's right. Lady Liu is a very good person. Also, do the girls all like men who are amorous? "No wonder I still can't get a wife."

"With such a frustrated expression, it would be strange if the young lady took a liking to you. What qualifications does the Sixth Prince have? What do you have?"

"I have a sincere heart. If I have a wife, I will definitely treat her wholeheartedly and not let her suffer even the slightest bit."

"Marrying a girl to you is the worst thing that could happen."

"..."

Qing He was a bit surprised to hear that. She hadn't thought that her mother would be so popular. She really hadn't thought that the Sixth Prince would be so popular with women.

She asked Little Bamboo, "Is the Sixth Prince very popular?"

Little Bamboo's face reddened as he said excitedly, "Of course, he is one of the most popular women in the entire Xuanyuan Dynasty. Although people don't give him much credit, he's so handsome!"

Qing He looked at him with disdain, "Didn't you like the Fourth Marquis a lot before?"

"Yes, I like both of them, but I like the Sixth Prince more. He's so much of a monster, so much of a tease, and so unrestrained. I even bought many portraits of him."

"Then which one is more popular between him and the Fourth Marquis?"

People who like the Fourth Prince and those who like the Sixth Prince often quarrel, and of course, they like them as well. However, the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince have a good relationship with each other, and they often follow each other. The last time the Fourth Prince came to the Prime Minister's house, the Sixth Prince also followed him.

As Qing He listened to Little Bamboo's words, he thought of Xuanyuan Liuyun's manly looks and could not help but think of something else.

She looked strangely at Little Bamboo and asked, "Do you think that the Sixth Prince has ulterior motives towards the Fourth Prince?"

Little Zhu widened her eyes. "How is that possible!?"

Qing He pursed his lips and smiled, "How is that impossible? The Fourth Prince is so good-looking, and the Sixth Prince won't leave him."

Little Bamboo pouted. "That's impossible."

At this moment, the waiter delivered the dishes.

"Two esteemed guests, the items you two requested are ready!"

Qing He was looking at the dish expectantly. When he saw the dish, his face fell.

When the waiter saw that his expression wasn't good, he hurriedly said, "Could it be that this Young Master …"

Little Zhu laughed. "No, my family's Young Master is not in a good mood. Go and busy yourself with what you need to do."

The waiter laughed, "If there's anything you need, please call me again."

After the waiter had left, Qing He pointed at the dishes on the table and said with disdain, "Is this the name of the restaurant you were talking about? A good smell is a good smell, but it's too ordinary. "

"It looks ordinary, but the way you eat it is not. You should first try this plate of potato shreds."

Qing He picked up a pair of chopsticks and put them in her mouth, chewing slowly. Then, she picked up another pair of chopsticks and couldn't help but exclaim: Delicious! It was too delicious!

Seeing Qing He act like this, Little Bamboo sweetly smiled and said, "It's very delicious, right? Try some of the other dishes. Miss used to like this restaurant very much."

Qing He couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. The culinary arts here were truly excellent. A small plate of sweet potatoes had such a peculiar taste. Its teeth were full of fragrance.

The potatoes are ordinary potatoes, and the water is ordinary water. However, there are special ingredients added into the potatoes: a plate of tofu, a plate of eggs, a plate of vegetables, a bowl of soup, and even two bowls of rice. The ingredients added are all different.

After the two finished eating, Qing He called the waiter over. He asked for pen and paper, wrote something on a piece of paper, and said something to the waiter.
