The Regent's Koi Princess

"Yes, I obey your orders. Does Your Majesty have any other instructions?"

Chen Zheng clasped his fists and bowed his head, standing respectfully in front of the desk, waiting for his master's instructions.

In recent times, he seemed to have figured out his prince's thoughts.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the prince is aloof, has no desires, and has no interest in anything.

But that ancestor was an exception.

As long as it involves the matter of that ancestor, no matter how big or small, his prince is always careful and thoughtful, patiently considering the matter and always thinking about the ancestor.

“Also, notify Aunt Liu at Qinyin Pavilion and tell her that Lin Xi has come to Qinyin Pavilion to investigate. If she wants to do anything, just let her do it.

In addition, warn Yue Niang to be sure to remember her identity.

This king has never made any promise or agreement with her.

Even I, the king, turned a blind eye to the little thing, so you can’t mess with her.

Just ask her to treat her well. She'd better stop thinking about things that she shouldn't be thinking about, otherwise I will never show mercy.

Also, you must go to Qinyin Pavilion in person and tell Aunt Liu in person. I don't want any mistakes to happen. Even I don't dare to provoke the little thing with that temper.

Give orders that if anyone who dares to offend her is to be killed... without mercy."

Jiang Che's voice fell softly, and the air in the study seemed to freeze a little, and there was unquestionable majesty in the silence.

Chen Zheng's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and then he bowed again and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey your orders."

After receiving the order from his master, he turned and left, his steps steady and silent, as if every step was in the rhythm of time.

Outside the door, a ray of sunlight shone in obliquely, stretching his figure out, making him look particularly resolute.

Chen Zheng thought to himself that it seemed that this ancestor really won the heart of the prince. The prince was so concerned about her that he not only did not ask about her investigation, but also specifically asked Nanny Liu to take care of her.

This honor is truly unprecedented and unparalleled, and it is the only one of its kind.

It seems that the prince has fallen in love with worldly things.

In fact, there were several times when Chen Zheng wanted to remind his prince that Yue Niang’s matter should not be dragged on any further.

Although he was a single man, he knew a little about matters between men and women. He had long seen that Yue Niang had a secret crush on his prince, and her eyes were full of affection when she looked at his prince.

He also once thought that his prince would take her as a concubine.

Now it seems that he was narrow-minded. His prince's eyes and heart are now full of Miss Lin.

If it were any other woman, it would be difficult for her to catch the eye of his prince.

Even the bullshit agreement proposed by the ancestor about being a couple for life was readily agreed to by his prince.

Chen Zheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly: It seems that there is one more lovesick person in this world.

After leaving the study, Chen Zheng quickly walked through the winding corridor and headed straight for Qinyin Pavilion. He had to get there before Lin Xi, otherwise if he failed to notify her properly and angered that ancestor, she would definitely lift the roof of Qinyin Pavilion.

Based on her understanding of that ancestor, she could definitely do it.

Along the way, the fragrance of flowers and the freshness of bamboo leaves interweave to create a tranquil and far-reaching picture.

And he, like a hurried passer-by in this painting, carrying the prince's secret order, is about to create an imperceptible ripple in the tranquility of Qinyin Pavilion.

……

This side of Linxi.

She took Xiao Guizi to Zhenbaozhai first.

Zhenbaozhai, the most upscale restaurant in the capital.

The roasted Peking duck there is super delicious. Many diners from other places are willing to travel long distances just to have a taste of the Peking duck here.

When the two entered, the hall was almost full of people.

Stepping into Zhenbaozhai, Lin Xi couldn't help but be attracted by the lively scene before him.

The hall was packed with people and bustling with noise. Every table was filled with diners, some were whispering to each other, some were laughing. The air was filled with the tempting aroma of food, especially the unique fruit wood smoked flavor of Peking duck, which made people salivate.

The waiters were dressed in uniform green gowns and snow-white aprons tied around their waists, and they moved lightly between the tables and chairs.

The trays in their hands were held steadily, and from time to time they would give warm reminders such as "Be careful, it's hot, please enjoy."

There are also people saying, "If it's delicious, come again. Welcome to patronize us." to greet customers.

Lin Xi and Xiao Guizi finally found an empty table in the corner and sat down. Just after they ordered their food, they saw a restaurant not far from where they were sitting.

An experienced waiter skillfully picked up a freshly-baked Beijing-style duck. The duck skin was golden, crispy and shiny. He lightly waved the knife, and the duck meat slices as thin as cicada wings fell off and were neatly stacked on the plate.

It is then topped with chopped green onions and cucumber strips, drizzled with a special sweet noodle sauce, and finally rolled in a pancake. The whole process is smooth and flowing, attracting the attention of diners around.

Lin Xi stared at it intently, secretly looking forward to the legendary delicacy that was about to fall into his mouth. The anticipation and satisfaction seemed to have bloomed on the tip of his tongue in advance.

Zhenbaozhai's business has always been booming, with customers coming in an endless stream all day long.

Diners who have tasted Peking Duck are full of praise.

So the business here spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, until it spread to all parts of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, there are guests coming here from other places every day just to try the Beijing Duck.

Lin Xi had also heard of it, but today was her first time coming to try it.

I heard that Zhenbaozhai has a very mysterious person in charge behind the scenes.

I've only heard of it being very mysterious, but almost no one has ever seen it in person.

Lin Xi was the same. She was very curious about the manager behind the scenes.

She really couldn't figure out what kind of person had such a financial mind.

Looking at the bustling business scene here every day, Lin Xi sighed inwardly: This shopkeeper behind the scenes must be extremely rich!

The food was prepared very quickly, and not long after the two sat down, all the food was served.

"Xiaogui... No, Agui, hurry up and try this Beijing-style duck, what kind of delicacy is it?"

After Lin Xi finished speaking, she slightly opened her red lips and elegantly picked up a piece of duck meat that was as thin as a cicada's wing and golden and tempting. She gently dipped it in the crystal clear and slightly sweet sauce on the plate, and then slowly put it into her mouth.

At that moment, it seemed as if time had stood still.

The flavor of the duck meat melts gently on the tip of the tongue; the crispy outer layer and the tender inner layer seem to interweave into a wonderful symphony for taste buds.

Every fiber is soaked in the fragrance of fruit wood and the richness of sauce. It is neither greasy nor delicious, but brings an indescribable freshness and satisfaction.

She closed her eyes slightly, a happy and satisfied smile on her face, as if all the troubles in the world disappeared with this delicious bite.

The hustle and bustle around seemed to become far away, and only this moment of tranquility and beauty made Lin Xi intoxicated.

Although the dishes at Zhenbaozhai are expensive, she feels that it is worth spending a little more to be able to exchange money for such delicious food.
