C5 Young Crown Prince's Year Banquet

The sun was high in the afternoon of the end of March, making people dizzy from the sun's rays. The man was sweating profusely from the fact that the woman with the cherishing skin was holding onto a parasol. This did not include water. He looked around the crowded streets, slightly anxious, with only a thin sheen of sweat on his forehead.

Father said that his sister had returned to Xiangyang and was just too lazy to return home. But Xiangyang was so big, where had she gone to play? He went out to change into a new set of white clothes, which made him look even more handsome than before. The ladies beside him all cast gazes of admiration towards him. He had no time to pay attention to them. With a flash, he was already ten feet away.

The four servants followed the instructions and arrived at the "South Sea Restaurant" at the center of Xiangyang. Inside the pavilion, after listening to the story that none of them had found, the center of their brows furrowed. The sound of the gurgle broke the silence. Shui Yu raised his head in surprise, and like him, the other three servants also looked towards the source of the sound.

"Alright, let's all sit down. Let's talk after lunch."

They searched for four hours. In fact, everyone was hungry. There was almost nothing left of the six dishes and two soups. There were only bits and pieces of chili powder, ginger, and garlic mixed together on the plates. No one felt embarrassed. Only after eating their fill would they have the strength to find someone. They understood what their young master meant.

After eating his fill, he left. Since it was the afternoon, there weren't many people in the restaurant. The sounds of a few patrons talking with alcohol wafting through the air could be heard from time to time.

"Waiter, your dishes are a bit different today. They taste a bit different from before, and the slices of ginger pepper are also different."

"You even know how to eat. You are truly worthy to be our restaurant's regular customer." "Not bad, a few new waiters have arrived. What do you think of eating?" The waiter, who was hanging his hand by the side, smiled.

"Hmm, not bad. It's just that it's too spicy. I must have earned quite a bit of money from the liquor today!" You really know how to do business here! "

Wasn't it different? They ate in a hurry without paying attention to their surroundings. As their voices faded away, they continued their aimless search.

After letting out many petals and taking a bath, she felt refreshed. The fragrance of the flowers was finally all that was left in her hands, no longer the smell of ginger or garlic. Sigh! It's not easy to earn a living. After cutting a whole afternoon's worth of food, my wrist is so sour and soft! Indeed, after not practicing for so many years, he had called someone 'Mama'!

She didn't hear much of what Sister Liu had said. She only remembered to ask her to get some clothes! People who lacked money could use it.

After passing by a bunch of flower beds, the person who was leading the way knocked on the door for her and told her to go in by herself. As soon as she went in, she saw that Sister Liu was waiting for her.

"Sister Liu!" I didn't take a closer look at it during the day, so it turns out that you were so good-looking! "

Not just flattery, but sincere praise. A woman in her early twenties was dressed in water colored clothes with a hundred patterns on it. Her hair was tied up into a bun with a single hairpin, revealing a smooth and fair neck that could be broken by the wind. "Her eyes were as gentle as water, and her gaze was indescribably charming and charming.

She pointed at the water spirit and said, "Don't just say those pretty words. I need to rest early today. I have a mission tomorrow."

She held a cup of tea in her hand and said seriously, "I received Princess An Ran's order a little over a month ago. As for tomorrow, I will take charge of the banquet at the restaurant." Earlier, a portion of us had already gone to prepare food and wine. Tomorrow, when the restaurant is closed for a day, we will go there. If I call you here, I can't help but to give you some advice. You're a newcomer, so you have to listen carefully.

Water Spirit's mouth was wide open in shock, but she did not forget the gossip. Since she was a princess, why didn't she use the imperial chefs? Uh, I don't intend to extinguish my own prestige. But, could it be that those royal relatives just want to change the taste of the commoners? "That, that seems to be the past."

After being convinced by her, Shui Ling laughed dryly in embarrassment.

Sister Liu was looking at her. She said half-truthfully, "Are you interested in the matters of the royal family? How about I recommend you to the princess tomorrow and send you to the palace, so you can directly ask His Majesty? "

She shivered and waved her hands, "No need, no need. I don't really want to know about those things. I just asked casually and casually …"

"Don't ask too much, just keep your head up." Sister Liu stopped scaring her, she got up and took a set of clothes and gave it to her: "Since you are the kitchen, the rules of the Princess' house are not too strict. If you come empty-handed, you probably won't even have any money left for your meal, right? I only wore this one once, because the color is too tender, so you should wear it. After you arrive tomorrow, work according to your schedule with full focus. The activity area is only in the kitchen in the backyard. Do not run around, and there's no time for you to run around. Also, the servants there are all more respected than us, so you must not offend them. Remember to find me, you must remember. "

Ye Zichen pursed his lips, "Why does it sound like I will be in trouble!" What do you mean …

Sister Liu pinched the young woman's face and said gently, "Today, I've told you so little. I was afraid that you might make too many mistakes. Don't resent me for being long-winded. This kind of thing cannot be lost. Although it wasn't the first time such a banquet had been held, the princesses' posts were being handed out in stacks. Initially, you were not allowed to attend the banquet since you had been here for at least ten days. "It's not like I've never thought of borrowing people from other restaurants …"

Outsiders could not believe it! Water Spirit quickly shook her head. "That's why Sister Liu decided to use one of us after some consideration!" Do you think that I'm one of your people so quickly!? "

Sister Liu nodded in satisfaction. "Not only are your knife skills good, you can also think fast. Alright, let's rest early. When we return tomorrow, I will try my best to give everyone a bonus. "

The water spirit immediately grinned from ear to ear. "Is it really gold?"

Sister Liu was stunned for a moment before her lips twitched. "That will depend on whether Princess An Ning's rewards are generous or not."

The water spirit had gotten the gold she wanted in her sleep. After waking up, she was in a very good mood. With the positive mindset of working hard to ensure the completion of the mission, the people who were following the restaurant took a horse carriage to the Princess' residence when the light was still showing in the east.

At dawn, the rows of tiled houses in Xiangyang City appeared to be a cyan color that blended with the heaven and earth. They were like a deep cyan lake that was rippling, yet also like an enormous painting made of ink. As the wheels rolled, the endless scenery of the carriage appeared before his eyes. What he breathed in was the pure and cool air.

After getting off the carriage, they saw two stone lions majestically lined up in front of the golden colored gate, as if they were sacred and inviolable. Sister Liu reported her identity and handed the post to the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper went in to check and then led them in. Along the way, the garden was filled with colorful flowers, and the fragrance of flowers wafted in the wind. At the side was a veranda with nine melodies. There were all kinds of parrots, thrushes, and other birds hanging on the veranda. It seemed like they were there just for fun. Outside the corridor, there was a row of green and verdant bamboos. There were Luohan Bamboo, Golden Jade Bamboo, Phoenix-Tail Bamboo, Xiang Feizhu, and a few others that Shui Ling did not recognize.

Without looking closely, they were led directly into the kitchen. Shopkeeper Zhang gave a few brief instructions. The main idea was that when doing something, one had to be careful and not make any mistakes. One could not run around and crash into the guests of the princess' mansion, or else if something happened, no one would be able to protect you. After that, he explained the division of labor once again. He especially instructed them that once they had settled their matters, they could help each other out. With this arrangement, the original chefs of the Princess' residence had directly changed from the Elders to the Chefs of the Restaurant.

Very soon, the dishes were washed, cut, distributed, stewed … Everything was going smoothly in the kitchen. The golden gate in front slowly opened as the sun rose. Occasionally, a servant would introduce guests to the "Star Gazing Tower" for a break.

The sky was beautiful, the sun was sparse and lazy, and the spring wind was breezing by. It was neither cold nor hot. The Xu brothers greeted the guests from inside and outside. The eldest of them was naturally present as the second son had just received them from the Nine Winding Passage. He was dressed in a long robe of rich brocade with light green silver threads, which made him seem even taller and more refreshing.

As the two people approached him, Xu Shaoqing greeted them politely, "Young Master Yang, Young Master Li, good morning. How is Uncle and Aunt?"

Young Master Yang cupped his hands, "Alright, alright. Previously, I was unable to determine the victor of the match with you. But today, you have to take your time out of all your efforts.

"Of course, please." Glancing at the Li who was stroking the jade pendant on his waist, Xu Shaoqing brushed past them.

Behind him, Young Master Yang shook his head. Young Master Li pointed at the road ahead, ignoring his reproach.

Xu Shaoqing knew that I don't like him, and many people don't like him. Those people thought that their family was able to rise above the world just because they got close to Princess Tranquil East, bringing glory to their family! Exhaling a breath of foul air, Xu Shaoqing welcomed the guests with a smiling face.

Just as they were about to step out of the door, the carriage arrived. Mrs Pei, together with Shui Lan and Shui Yan alighted from the carriage. When Shui Lan saw Xu Shaoqing who was looking at her, she could not contain her joy.

"Shaoqing!" The young girl jogged to the front: "Have you been standing here for a long time? Are you tired? "

The young girl was wearing a peach-colored soft silk dress, a peach-colored skirt, and a pair of green shoes that were slightly revealing. Her head was decorated with silver flowers with blue dots on top, which perfectly accentuated her black hair and beautiful face, adding to her delicate and pretty appearance. Xu Shaoqing smiled lovingly at her: "It's alright. I just want to see you walk over to me step by step. "

"Hello big brother Xu." Pei Shi and his youngest daughter had also arrived.

"Hello Fifth Sister, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look even more beautiful now." Shui Yan's mouth was sweet, and Xu Shaoqing had a good impression of her. He looked at the woman at his side. He had not forgotten how much she disliked him back then. He smiled politely and said, "Auntie, please come in."

Madam Pei did not mind. This was not the first time she was like this. As long as he treated his daughter well, on the surface, he would treat her well.

They did not go to the pavilions where the guests were gathered, but went directly to Princess Tranquil's chamber to see the crown prince.
