Yuelai Winery.

The largest restaurant in Shangjing City, with a total of four floors, there is an endless stream of guests coming and going, and they are all from high-profile families, because ordinary people cannot book a table at all.

Even Shangguan Liuying couldn't make a reservation for a long time, which shows how booming the business of this Yuelai wine shop is.

The prince's invitation came at the right time. Liuying knew that this must be the Hongmen Banquet, but it didn't matter. Danger always coexists with opportunity.

The sky is blue today and the sun is just right.

Shangguan Liuying got off the carriage and looked up at the Yuelai Winery in front of him. The four-story building seemed to be as far as the eye could see. Coupled with the lively scene of people coming and going, it was indeed the largest winery in the capital.

"But Miss Shangguan?" A person dressed as a waiter came to her and asked respectfully.

As Liuying nodded, he smiled even more flatteringly, "Miss Shangguan, please come inside. The distinguished guest has been waiting for a long time.

"Lead the way." Liuying said calmly, leading Luyi into the wine shop.

The waiter took them all the way to the fourth floor, which is the top floor of the wine shop. There are only two private rooms on the left and right occupying the entire floor. Everything you see in the carved beams and painted buildings is exquisite. Although the private rooms are all very large. But the privacy is very good, it is divided into main hall and partitions, and there is a large window in the main hall. Standing by the window, you can take in the scenery of the capital!

"Miss Shangguan," the waiter took Liuying and Liu Ying outside one of the rooms and spoke, "I'm afraid your maid will have to wait outside. The nobleman inside said that you can only go in alone."

"Miss..." Lu Yi shook her head worriedly.

Shangguan Liuying raised her lips and patted her hand comfortingly, "Don't worry, just wait here for me."

"Yes."

Liuying opened the door and entered the room. She saw a large private room that was elegantly decorated. Standing by the window was a man wearing dark purple clothes with his hands hanging down. When he heard the noise, he turned around and it was the prince Xiao Rui.

"Liu Ying, you're here." The prince looked at Liu Ying lovingly with a gentle smile on his face.

Shangguan Liuying shuddered secretly and said softly, "Why is the prince alone? Didn't Wanqing say that you invited many people?"

"If I didn't let Wanqing say this, would you still come?" The prince smiled helplessly, pulled out a chair and motioned Liu Ying to sit down.

Liuying sat down generously, rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Whatever the prince said, Liuying didn't dare to accept it."

"Don't blame Wanqing," the prince took the opportunity to sit next to Liuying, "I can't help it. Ever since the incident in the East Palace last time, I feel that there is a lot of estrangement between us. I want to explain to you. Look, it was indeed a misunderstanding in the East Palace..."

"Your Highness is serious," Liu Ying raised her hand to interrupt the prince's words, with a normal look on her face, "It has been so long and Liu Ying has long forgotten it, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it, Your Highness."

"Really?" The prince's eyes lit up, "That's very good. I'll do it first out of respect. This means that the misunderstanding between us has been completely eliminated, but we can't be angry with me anymore."

Liu Ying sneered in her heart, but her face was warm, "Your Highness is too polite, Liu Ying also proposes a toast to you."

The prince looked very happy, "By the way, I heard that the general seems to be coming back soon. When the time comes, I will send two bottles of good wine to the general's residence. I hope the general will like it."

Thinking of her father coming back soon, the smile on Liu Ying's face became more genuine, "Thank you so much, Prince. Dad has always loved drinking, but the battlefield was ruthless. He never dared to drink when he was stationed at the border, so he had no choice but to return to the capital. I’ll have a chance to get drunk at the rear and then I’ll stop.”

"The general is the pillar of Zhou Dynasty," the prince said with emotion, "I have great admiration for the general..."

He still remembered the emperor's words. It wasn't that Shangguan Han didn't want to come back or that he didn't dare to come back, but that he couldn't come back...

One sentence cannot reveal the true meaning!

After chatting for a while, Liuying suddenly mentioned, "Is the prince a frequent visitor here? It seems that the food at this Yuelai Restaurant is very good, but it's a pity that the location is not easy to book."

She put down her chopsticks regretfully. Seeing this, the prince quickly smiled and said, "This is easy to handle. The boss here is actually Duke Cheng'en. I can tell him to leave this private room to you, so that you can come anytime you want." It will be all right."

Liuying looked at the prince in surprise, "Is it actually Duke Chengen? Forget it, I don't have to come every day, so I better not bother Duke Chengen."

The boss behind Yuelai Restaurant has always been very mysterious. Liuying investigated for a while but had no clue. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Duke Chengen.

This Duke Cheng'en is the younger brother of the current Queen Mother. He has always ignored worldly affairs and only enjoyed life. No wonder the Yuelai Restaurant is so popular and it's hard to find one!

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. The prince frowned, "Who is it? Didn't you tell me not to disturb you if you have nothing to do?"

"Dear guest, please calm down, there are two guests who say they are your friends..." The waiter was sweating.

Speaking of which, the Yuelai Restaurant only receives high-ranking officials and dignitaries, including members of the royal family. But today, there is a prince and a princess inside and outside the house. It is really difficult for the waiter.

"No matter who it is, let him leave..." The prince was dissatisfied. He had already said hello that no one could disturb him today.

But before the prince could finish his words, he was interrupted by a familiar voice outside the door, "Are they Liu Ying and the prince inside?"

Shangguan Liuying's eyes lit up, she suddenly looked at the prince and said excitedly, "It's the eldest princess."

The prince obviously heard it, and could only smile helplessly, "What a big sister, I didn't expect such a coincidence..."

After opening the door, he discovered that not only the eldest princess was outside the door, but also Consort Shen. It seemed that they were here together.

This originally good world between two people suddenly turned into a gathering of four people. The prince felt very aggrieved, but he couldn't show it too obviously.

Shangguan Liuying seemed very happy. She seemed to have endless things to say when she met the eldest princess.

The prince looked at them curiously, "Why don't I know when Liuying and the eldest princess became so close?"

The eldest princess chuckled lightly, "How can you men understand the things about our women? Sometimes the fate between women is actually very simple. It may just be because of a word of congeniality."

She didn't tell anyone about the horse bandits that day. It might not be a good thing if one more person knew about it. The eldest princess was still cautious since she was growing up in the palace.

But she didn't know that the prince was just testing. He had already known from Shen Qi why Liuying and the eldest princess were on such a good relationship now. Not only that, he had also investigated the horse bandit, but he just waited for him to go The building was already deserted during the investigation, so nothing could be found.

The prince and the consort were chatting together, while Liuying had a lively chat with the eldest princess. During this period, she secretly squeezed the eldest princess's hand to express her gratitude, and the eldest princess winked at her vaguely. They all understood it tacitly.

When Liu Ying was chatting with the eldest princess, she did not forget to secretly observe the state of the prince and Shen Qi. As expected, they behaved very strangely in front of the eldest princess.

She sneered in her heart. It seemed that Shen Qi had indeed been hiding his relationship with the prince from the eldest princess.

Being able to hide this from the eldest princess naturally proves that there is something wrong with this. It seems that few people except her know that Shen Qi is actually the prince's subordinate.

The prince also had good eyesight. Liu Ying remembered that Shen Qi was a business wizard and could be called the prince's money bag...
