After traveling through time, I became a princess in ancient times

The restaurant was bustling with people, almost every table was full, and they all praised the hotpot.

At this moment, Xia Yurou carefully prepared a drink based on modern knowledge and randomly distributed it to today's lucky winner.

A young girl picked up the cup, took a sip, and an expression of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

"Oh my god! This is so delicious, sweet and thirst-quenching, it's simply a delicacy on earth!"

The customer closest to her immediately asked the waiter, "What is she drinking?"

The waiter introduced it to him enthusiastically: "That's our new specialty drink, mixed by our Princess Chen herself."

When the diners heard that the drink was mixed by the princess, they rushed to get a glass.

Xia Yurou was busy and orderly mixing each drink, her fingers dancing lightly among the bottles and jars.

Soon, cups of colorful drinks were delivered to each table, and the restaurant was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Ren Chenxi stood in the crowd and stared at the busy Xia Yurou. Seeing the dense beads of sweat on her forehead, an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

Seeing that the waiter was too busy, he took the tray handed over by the kitchen and walked steadily towards the table that had just shouted for more food.

When the diners saw that it was the prince who was serving the food to them personally, they were stunned for a moment, with their chopsticks hanging in the air, not daring to move, feeling both surprised and terrified.

For a moment, even the table next to us was silent, with only the sound of the soup boiling in the hot pot echoing.

When Xia Yurou saw that Ren Chenxi actually served the dishes himself, she was a little surprised, but more touched.

She knew very well that the prince was of noble status, and that his willingness to serve customers was a great support to the hot pot restaurant.

So Xia Yurou quickly walked to Ren Chenxi, with a warm smile on her face, and said softly: "Prince, let me do it."

As she spoke, she took the tray from Ren Chenxi's hand and gently touched the porcelain on the tray with her fingers, making a crisp clinking sound.

"Enjoy your time. If you need anything, please let me know at any time."

After saying this, Ren Chenxi followed Xia Yurou to the counter.

After the prince left, the guests at the nearest tables dared to pick up their chopsticks and continue to enjoy the delicious hotpot.

Especially the table served by Ren Chenxi, they finally felt relieved.

"My Lord, how can I let you serve the food yourself?"

Ren Chenxi smiled slightly and looked at Xia Yurou tenderly: "Rou'er, how can I ignore everything you have done for me?"

Just then, there was a commotion at the door. Xia Yurou turned around and saw a group of people surrounding a man in fancy clothes walking in.

This man had a handsome face, and there was an unruly arrogance between his brows.

He glanced around the store and his eyes finally fixed on Ren Chenxi.

"Hey, isn't this Third Brother? It's so rare that I can actually meet you here?"

Ren Chennan's voice was not loud, but it was full of provocation and sarcasm.

His gaze lingered on Xia Yurou for a moment, and he continued, "Third brother is really free and easy. He left the palace's affairs alone and came here to open a hot pot restaurant with a woman. If the emperor knew about it, wouldn't you be afraid of punishing you?"

Xia Yurou raised her eyebrows and said to Ren Chennan unhappily, "My prince has his own considerations for what he does, so you don't need to worry about it."

Ren Chennan was slightly stunned, then sneered: "What a sharp-tongued woman! Third Brother is so lucky."

Xia Yurou was about to fight back when Xiaoxue hurried forward and whispered in her ear, "Princess, this is the prince's younger brother, Prince Nan."

"No matter what king you are, you are not allowed to bully my prince in my shop."

Ren Chennan's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement: "Oh? The emperor hasn't granted marriage to the third brother yet, so how can you be considered a princess?"

Xia Yurou looked directly into Ren Chennan's eyes and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice: "As long as the prince has me in his heart, I will be his Chen Wangfei. As for the marriage you mentioned, it will happen sooner or later. And I think you are too idle, you should do more practical things for the people."

His face darkened and his eyes were filled with anger that seemed like they would explode at any moment.

Just when Ren Chennan was about to lose his temper, Ren Chenxi's figure stood in front of Xia Yurou like a mountain.

"you dare."

His eyes were full of warning and unquestionable majesty, as if he was saying to Ren Chennan: "My woman, you can't touch her."

Ren Chennan was also stunned by these two short words. He had never seen Ren Chenxi look so serious.

After a moment, Ren Chennan raised a mocking smile, but his voice was deliberately lowered, with a hint of coldness: "Third brother, don't forget your identity. This woman is just a commoner, and the emperor will never allow you two to be together."

When Xia Yurou heard Ren Chennan's provocation, she was furious and was about to fight back, but was stopped by Ren Chenxi's look.

"Ren Chennan, you don't need to say more. Regarding the matter between me and Rou'er, I know what to do. As for my brother, I will definitely ask for permission to marry him."

Ren Chennan's face turned pale and blue. He didn't expect that Ren Chenxi would openly respond to his provocation for a woman today.

The anger in his heart burned like a ignited flame, but he suddenly realized that he could not lose his composure in this situation.

Then he glanced at Xia Yurou again and saw that she was snuggling closely against Ren Chenxi, her eyes full of dependence and trust in him.

Ren Chennan sneered in his heart, thinking, "This woman is indeed resourceful, able to make the always cold and arrogant Ren Chenxi do this for her."

He deliberately slowed down his pace, and when he walked in front of the two people, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was low and strange: "Third brother, this palace is not where you and I can do whatever we want. You stand up for her today, don't regret it in the future."

After saying that, Ren Chennan turned and left, his gorgeous clothes fluttering with his steps, like a proud peacock.

Seeing Ren Chennan leaving, Xia Yurou secretly sneered in her heart: "Look at how capable he is. He really thinks he can influence the prince's decision."

Ren Chenxi frowned and said to Xia Yurou, "What Ren Chennan said makes some sense. Our business does need the approval of our royal brother."

Xia Yurou was stunned. It seemed that the prince wanted to fight for a legitimate identity for her.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to accompany you to the palace to meet the emperor. No matter what the result is, I will have no regrets."

Ren Chenxi gazed into Xia Yurou's determined eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He was well aware of the cruelty of the palace and also understood her deep affection for him, but how could he let his beloved princess take risks?

"Rou'er, although the current emperor is my brother, do you know..."

Before Ren Chenxi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xia Yurou.

"My Lord, as long as I can be your princess, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, I am willing to face them together with you."

Ren Chenxi was moved and he held Xia Yurou's hand tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.

He realized that he could no longer refuse her request.

"Xiaoxue, the prince and I have to go to the palace. I'll leave the affairs of the store to you."

"Please rest assured, Princess. I will manage the hot pot restaurant in an orderly manner and will not let you down."

Xia Yurou looked at Xiaoxue with satisfaction: "I feel relieved when you say this. I will give you a raise when I come back."

Xiaoxue stood at the door of the store, watching Ren Chenxi and Xia Yurou's carriage go farther and farther away.

Her heart was filled with gratitude and admiration, and she had great respect for the future princess.

The princess is not only beautiful and intelligent, but also has firm beliefs and courage. She is willing to give everything for the prince.

The carriage slowly drove away, and the wheels left faint marks on the bluestone slabs.

Xiaoxue looked at the carriage that gradually disappeared around the corner and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that the prince and princess would be recognized by the emperor.

The trees on both sides of the street swayed gently, as if bidding farewell to the couple...
