The little cannon fodder kept releasing melons, and people lined up to eat melons

Everyone was surrounding Princess Changle. Xiao Noning stood silently at the edge and watched indifferently, while Banxia was beside her.

“Miss, this second master…ah, our prince is quite capable. He was able to quickly get close to the crown prince and become friends with him right after he became the crown prince.”

Xiao Nuoning looked at the maid Banxia and said calmly: "It's just that each of us takes what we need! My second brother wants to lean on a big tree for shade, and as for the prince, what's wrong with having more powerful allies. It's just a pity for my eldest brother..."

Banxia looked around and lowered her voice, "The prince and princess announced to the public that they were assassinated, but in fact... Qiming, who was beside the former prince, once secretly told me that he guessed that he and the former prince would not live long. As a result, after the prince and princess knew about the former prince's illness, the former prince and Qiming were assassinated just two days ago."

Qi Ming is good friends with Ban Xia and also has feelings for her. As the prince's personal attendant, when he saw that the prince's body was covered with sores, the prince not only refused to allow medical treatment but also placed the prince under house arrest and did not allow anyone to get close to him.

From that moment on he knew that he and the prince would not have a good ending. When he happened to meet Banxia, ​​he secretly told her the truth, saying his final farewell to her.

Xiao Nuoning glanced at his second brother Xiao Tiance, who was in high spirits, and sneered: "My father has always put power first, and will never allow such a thing that disgraces the reputation of the Huai Palace to happen. What's more, my unlucky eldest brother is not only incurable but also disliked by the emperor, so I don't find it strange that he is treated as an abandoned child. I am just surprised that the princess, who has always loved her son, would also give up her own son. It's really interesting..."

Banxia looked at Xiao Tiance and couldn't help asking: "Miss, do you think our new prince knows about this?"

"Who knows??? But my second brother has always been smarter than my eldest brother..."

Xiao Nuoning kept looking ahead with a cold look...

In a corner, Song Qianxue and Song Qianyu were staring at each other. Song Qianxue was getting more and more uncomfortable with how easy it was for Song Qianyu to get along with recently. Normally, when she saw her, even if she didn't make a fuss, she would at least make a noise to ridicule her. Why was she so quiet now?

Song Qianyu was annoyed by Song Qianxue's stare and asked: "Why do you keep staring at me?"

"I feel like you've been taking the wrong medicine recently?"

"You took the wrong medicine!"

Song Qianxue stared at him for a while, and sighed sincerely: "It's rare for you to dress so simply, and not to join the crowd. This is not like you at all! But you're still quite cute like this!"

"I am cute, do I need you to tell me? Who is as ugly as you? You have been stealing my place for so long. I am the daughter of the Marquis, but no one likes me, even Aunt Mu..."

Song Qianyu felt sad and her tears were falling. In her previous family, her adoptive parents favored boys over girls. She had been very careful to do all the housework since she was a child, in order to please them. However, in the end, they planned to sell her to a matchmaker in order to get the dowry for their son.

If the Marquis' Mansion hadn't come looking for her, she wouldn't know where she would have been sold to.

She thought that when she arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, she would be able to receive the love and care of her family, but everyone seemed to prefer the imposter Song Qianxue. How could she tolerate this? So every time she saw Song Qianxue, she just wanted to find fault with her and make things difficult for her.

She used to think that even if her grandmother and father didn't like her, at least Aunt Mu should like her, after all, she was her biological daughter, but the facts seemed to be different...

Seeing Song Qianyu suddenly burst into tears, Song Qianxue was helpless. She stepped forward and wiped Song Qianyu's face with a handkerchief, saying, "Actually, Aunt Mu doesn't like me either. To be more precise, she doesn't like both of us. You really don't need to go against me all day just because you're worried about who Aunt Mu likes..."

Song Qianyu was originally a little embarrassed by Song Qianxue's action of wiping tears, but when she heard Song Qianxue deliberately mocking her, she immediately became angry.

Song Qianyu shook off Song Qianxue's hand and snorted: "I hate you the most, you are so ungrateful after getting the advantage..."

After saying that, she ran away angrily... Song Qianxue stood there in a daze, blinking her eyes in confusion. She was trying to comfort her, but why did she get angry for no reason? What else did she say that she was being ungrateful after getting the upper hand? ?

She turned around and wanted to catch up to ask clearly, but she didn't pay attention and her forehead hit a hard chest, making her see stars.

He was about to scold the reckless guy with a face full of anger, but when he looked up and saw a familiar face, his anger turned into surprise, and surprise turned into contempt.

It turned out that the one who bumped into her was the second prince Murong Jingsheng. When she thought of what her third sister said, the second prince gave up the throne to the queen after becoming the emperor. The queen was called the female emperor, and she became a member of the harem. Tsk... He didn't want to be a good emperor but insisted on being a male concubine. She despised him and looked down on him.

However, although Song Qianxue looked down on him, she still bowed politely and left.

Murong Jingsheng looked at the receding figure and thought that this girl was really interesting. She was furious when she was bumped into, and when she saw him, she first looked surprised, then full of disgust, and was about to leave without saying a word.

Any woman in this world who sees him, even if she doesn't try to fawn on him, will not ignore him like this.

Song Qianning looked around, why couldn't she see her elder sister and the others? She was just wandering around trying to find them, when she ran into the Fourth Prince.

"Fourth Prince, are you looking for my second brother? He is over there with my third brother."

Murong Jingchu smiled and said: "I'm looking for you..."

"Looking for me??? What's the matter?? Oh! I remembered, I still lent you 100,000 taels! I don't have the money with me now, next time I'll give it to my second brother and ask him to pass it on to you."

"Don't worry. I heard from your second brother that you and your third brother are planning to open a restaurant. I also heard about the two money-making experiences of the three of you. It's amazing. Many businessmen may not be able to earn this much in their entire lives. You are amazing and lucky."

"You think so too? I think my third brother is really lucky. Everything he handles can be completed smoothly!"

Murong Jingchu saw her eyes shining, which was very beautiful. Her whole person became lively.

"Your idea is great, but it's not easy to open a restaurant like Zuimenglou. But I'm optimistic about you. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me."

Murong Jingchu did not tell her that the boss behind Zuimenglou was the prince.

Song Qianning was suddenly awakened by the Fourth Prince's words. That's right! She had forgotten. How could she not find a strong backer to open a restaurant and compete with Zuimenglou for business?

Song Qianning suddenly smiled flatteringly and said, "Fourth Prince, let's discuss something! Are you interested in investing in our restaurant?"

“Investment???” Murong Jingchu raised his eyebrows?

"You don't need to worry about anything at the restaurant. We will do everything. Your 100,000 taels will be considered as your investment. From now on, you will be considered one of the owners of our restaurant. Is that okay?"

[With the Fourth Prince in charge, no one will dare to pick a fight with us when the restaurant opens in the future. Although Zuimenglou has the support of the Crown Prince, he has to stand aside compared to the Emperor's beloved son. Besides, with the little secret between him and the Queen, the Emperor can destroy them in a matter of minutes...]

Murong Jingchu was just happy that she said he was a great god, but the next sentence made him nervous and uneasy. What secret could make his father abolish the queen and the prince? ?

Murong Jingchu suppressed his emotions, smiled and nodded, saying: "I am very interested in your proposal. We can talk about it in detail when we have a chance."

Song Qianning's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled, and she said, "Then it's settled..."

Murong Jingchu was happy that he had the opportunity to contact her again, while Song Qianning felt that she had successfully found a strong backer. She was so happy that she would definitely tell her third brother the good news.

At this time, the prince's voice came...

"Okay, now that we've admired the paintings and listened to the music, let's all return to the banquet, as the Cuju competition is about to begin."

Everyone agreed and immediately everyone followed the prince towards the banquet.

Song Qianning happened to see her elder sister and third brother and hurriedly ran to find them.

Murong Jingchu was left standing there, watching her leaving...
