Only this green, not disappointing the spring

It was the first time that Shangguan Qingyue had seen such a handsome middle-aged man with temperament and cultivation.

Less than a quarter of an hour after Shuiyunjian opened its door, a man came in, followed by a servant with, uh, strange behavior.

The reason why he was said to be weird was that from the moment he entered the store, he had been hunching his back with his hands neatly placed in front of him, and although his temples were already gray, his cheeks were white and there was not a single beard.

And the most important point is that the voice sounds very awkward, as if it is deliberate.

However, Shangguan Qingyue did not take it too seriously. He just told the servant to entertain them well and then went about his own business.

Emperor Mingde was very interested in the furnishings in the Shuiyun Room and looked around while waiting for the cakes.

Whenever he encountered something new and interesting, he would call the servant over to ask him in detail. After asking so many times, the servant simply followed him directly, without any impatience on his face.

Wang Fu couldn't help but marvel in his heart. This store was different from the inside out, from the servants to the owner.

If their trip had not been kept extremely secret, he would have suspected that Miss Shangguan had received the news in advance and had informed everyone in the store early on.

Emperor Mingde took a few glances at the cook making the dim sum and soon lost interest. He had eaten countless delicacies from land and sea, and even if the dim sum in this shop was delicious, it was not worth his attention.

At this time, customers started to come to the store. I saw several young men dressed as scholars walking towards the back of the store with ease. After picking up something from there, they came back and sat at the long tables.

Emperor Mingde was very busy reviewing memorials every day, which resulted in his eyesight not being very good. It was not until those people approached that he realized that they were holding books in their hands.

He raised his eyebrows in surprise, took a few quick steps inside, and then saw an entire wall filled with books!

Looking at those scholars again, some were reading attentively, while others were copying.

He wanted to find a servant and ask for clarification, but he saw those people running back and forth in the store at the speed of the wind, very busy.

So he approached a scholar, coughed lightly, and asked in a low voice:

"My dear, there is something I don't understand. Could you please take a moment to help me solve this puzzle?"

The young man smiled brightly and replied in a low voice:

"What do you want to ask? I'm a frequent customer here. I can answer you which dim sum is the most delicious, but I should have no problem with anything else."

Emperor Mingde chuckled and asked:

"Since you are a regular customer, why don't you know which dim sum is most suitable for your taste?"

The young man scratched his head embarrassedly.

"My family is poor and I don't have much money to buy cakes, but the owner of this shop is very kind and generous. If there is any leftover before closing every day, he will give it to us for free.

I have had the pleasure of trying it several times and I find it very delicious and mouth-watering.”

Emperor Mingde was even more confused. He had not made any secret visits in the past few years. Could it be that the outside world had changed so much?

You can stay in someone else's store for free and read books. How is this different from pie in the sky?

Seeing his confused expression, the young man knew that this person must be visiting the store for the first time, so he smiled and said:

"I heard you speak in a Beijing accent, but I didn't expect you to be from another place. Then I will explain it to you..."

The young man told Emperor Mingde everything about the conveniences Shuiyunjian provided to readers and where the entire wall of books came from.

The two of them spoke in very low voices and did not disturb others. When the waiter passed by, he brought them two large glass cups of freshly made drinks from the store.

Emperor Mingde fell into silence for a long time after hearing this, and the young man couldn't help but sigh:

"Alas, it's a pity that there is only one store in Shuiyunjian. If it could be opened all over the country, I wonder how many hard-working students would benefit from it."

Emperor Mingde ordered Wang Fu to buy five or six of the most expensive foods in the store for the man, and then returned to his seat to taste the pastries that had already cooled down.

Shangguan Qingyue, who finally had some free time, stretched lazily.

Shuying opened her palms very skillfully to help her young lady cover her open mouth as she yawned, and this scene happened to be seen by Emperor Mingde.

He opened his mouth slightly, and a light bulb suddenly lit up in his mind, and he finally remembered! This child was actually the daughter of Baili Nanqing, who was nicknamed "Qing Pili" back then!

This mother and daughter are exactly alike!

I remember that the youngest daughter of the Baili family was almost chosen to enter the palace.

Later, because of her hot temper and carelessness, and because she lacked the dignity and chastity that a noble lady should have, her mother crossed her out from the list of concubines.

Back then, he was forced to fill the harem, and he never participated from beginning to end, and it was all handled by his mother. Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, the fate of the two families continued in this generation of children!

Well, he hadn't started testing yet, but it seemed unnecessary. A girl who could run a pastry shop like this must be of excellent character.

Noticing that someone's gaze was lingering on her, Shangguan Qingyue followed her feeling and looked over, and saw the "handsome middle-aged uncle".

She glanced at the various cakes on the other person's table, walked out from behind the glass table, and went straight to the person's seat.

Wang Fu suddenly felt a little nervous, as if he had been caught doing something wrong.

Shangguan Qingyue had a friendly smile on her face, leaned forward and asked softly:

"Excuse me, sir. I see that you don't use much of the pastries on your table. Are you not satisfied with the food? If you can give me some suggestions, I will be very grateful."

Emperor Mingde looked at the little girl who walked up to him with great interest.

Well, her appearance was only average, but her pair of bright and clear eyes were extremely eye-catching, and coupled with her bright and refreshing smile, she made people feel close to her at first sight.

He had a more favorable view of his third son, believing that he was worthy of being his own son, and not one of those vulgar men who only cared about beauty.

When he was still the crown prince, he had already chosen his crown princess, who is now the queen.

He suffered a lot of criticism at the time, and some even said that the Queen's family had cast a spell on him so that he would have to marry her.

Humph, they are all vulgar people with eyes but no heart! Although the queen's appearance is a bit ordinary, she is full of talent and has excellent character. They have been married for nearly 30 years, and they can be said to be in harmony and have the same virtues and hearts.

It is true that a summer insect cannot talk about ice!

Seeing that the other party was silent, Shangguan Qingyue thought that the other party was unhappy about being disturbed, so he asked softly:

"But I was too reckless this time and made you unhappy? Then..."

"No, I really wasn't. Uh, sorry, I was a little distracted.

These foods all tasted very good, novel and delicious. But as I age, my spleen and stomach are a little weak, and I can't eat anything too cold, so I didn't eat too much. "

He had just chatted with the young man for a long time and had not been able to taste the food while it was still hot. In addition, some of the food seemed to be served cold, which was even more unsuitable for him.

After hearing this, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief and then said with a smile:

"Then I'll have someone serve you some easy-to-cook hot meals, okay? It was our restaurant's negligence that we didn't remind you in time, so I'll give you the food for free later, just as a small compensation."

Emperor Mingde nodded with satisfaction, and asked curiously:

"Little girl, has this store always been doing business like this? Will it not make money?"

Shangguan Qingyue smiled with her eyebrows curved.

"No, the customers in the store are all as polite and kind as you are, and they often come to the store to do business, so the business is pretty good."

Seeing the waiter bringing out the hot food, Shangguan Qingyue tactfully stopped disturbing him and turned to leave.

When Xuanyuan Yan learned that his biological father, the emperor, had gone to Shuiyunjian, the old Emperor Mingde had already eaten and drunk his fill and returned to the palace leisurely.

He rode all the way here with great trepidation, and it was not until he got off the horse and his feet touched the ground that he realized he had forgotten to raise the soles of his shoes.

Helplessly, he had to recall his previous walking posture, and then he pretended to limp into the store awkwardly.

The little girl I had been thinking about was finally right in front of me. My anxious and depressed mood was immediately swept away, and I felt comfortable and happy.

Shangguan Qingyue saw the person coming and trotted over to him.

"Your Highness, are you finally done with your work? I haven't seen you for seven or eight days. Why do you look a little haggard?"

Xuanyuan Yan gently patted the little girl's thin shoulders and said softly:

"Let's go to the backyard. I have something to tell you."
