On the day he received the imperial edict, Lin Xiangzhao moved into the imperial city with his family, waiting to take office the next day.

Just as Lin Xiangzhao entered the imperial city, a burst of crackling firecrackers sounded in his ears, and he couldn't help but frowned.

"What's that noise? Why is it so loud?"

Upon hearing this, the coachman quickly stopped the carriage, looked in the direction where the voice came from, and then smiled slightly.

"Sir, it should be that the princess's restaurant has reopened."

Ever since Shen Zhijian caused trouble last time, Zhuyue Restaurant closed less than two hours after opening, and was not renovated until today.

It was precisely because Zhuyue Restaurant reopened that Wen Liuli had to put down the unfinished drawings in his hands and come to his own restaurant.

Coming here again, Wen Liuli still felt uncomfortable in her heart. The previous scene seemed to be still in front of her eyes, making her feel a chill.

"Princess? Which princess?"

"Princess Wu, Your Excellency may not know that this restaurant actually opened half a month ago..."

The driver knew that Lin Xiangzhao had just arrived in Beijing and was completely unaware of the Shen family incident that had caused a lot of controversy some time ago, so he explained it patiently.

It was precisely because of that incident that the entire imperial city now knew that the Zhuyue Restaurant was opened by Princess Wu. Not only did no one dare to cause trouble anymore, but the number of customers increased significantly.

Some of these people came for Wen Liuli's story, while some came for the title of Princess Wu. Everyone wanted to see what the Princess Wu looked like.

It is said that on that day, Princess Wu brought three guards to attack the Shen family and destroyed the whole family. Even the eighth-rank priest of the Shen family had his arm cut off.

Naturally, everyone wants to meet such a heroic woman.

After all, the Shen family did not have a very good reputation in the imperial city, and many people were angry but dared not speak out. Wen Liuli's move undoubtedly helped everyone relieve their hatred.

"Oh? Is this happening?"

Hearing the driver's explanation, Lin Xiangzhao's eyes suddenly lit up. She really is worthy of being the princess. Wow.

"It just so happens that I have just arrived today, so I will go and show my support to the princess."

Whether it was Wen Liuli or Tang Tianyu, they both had a great grace to Lin Xiangzhao. Since he had met them, he had to go and see them anyway. Before that, he had made plans. No matter how expensive the food was, he would eat it even if he had to borrow money.

However, when he and his family got off the carriage, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

At this time, the door of Zhuyue Restaurant was crowded with people. He wanted to go in, but there were too many people and he couldn't get in at all. He had no choice but to queue far behind the crowd.

"Eh? Lord Lin, why are you here?"

Just when Lin Xiangzhao had been queuing for a while, a voice suddenly sounded beside him.

Hearing this voice, Lin Xiangzhao turned around suddenly and saw Tang Tianling standing beside him with a puzzled look on his face.

"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness Prince Wen."

After realizing what was happening, Lin Xiangzhao quickly bowed and saluted.

"Master Lin, are you... coming to eat?"

"Yes, but there are indeed too many people. I am still waiting in line."

"Haha! You are really honest. Just follow me."

Hearing this, Tang Tianling was immediately amused. This Lin Xiangzhao was quite interesting. A dignified Chief Censor actually went to queue up for a meal at a private restaurant. If this were to be made public, people would probably laugh at him.

After saying that, Tang Tianyu waved his hand and led Lin Xiangzhao and his family into the restaurant.

"Your Highness, isn't this... bad?"

Seeing Tang Tianling walk in so openly, Lin Xiangzhao felt a little nervous. Others were queuing up, so why did we get special treatment?

"Haha, Lord Lin, you worry too much. How could I do such an unfair thing?"

Knowing what Lin Xiangzhao wanted to say, Tang Tianling laughed and then began to explain.

It turned out that Wen Liuli had also considered this when doing business. Usually, high-ranking officials are relatively busy with official duties. If they come in person, they can stay in the private room upstairs for free.

Of course, this would not prevent others from dining, because two of the private rooms upstairs were reserved by Wen Liuli for dignitaries.

On the one hand, we also consider their different status. We can't let those dignitaries sit in the hall, right? That would be inappropriate for their status.

The main reason is that these people are big customers and they are worried about losing them, so Wen Liuli specially set up two private rooms.

Although it is a little unfair, it is harmless in the end, after all, there are not many left.

"Oh? Why would the princess do this?"

Hearing Tang Tianling's explanation, Lin Xiangzhao couldn't help but frown.

In his impression, Wen Liuli was not the kind of person who would flatter dignitaries. And given her status, there was no need for her to flatter.

"Isn't it because she's worried that my waiting in line at the door will affect her business?"

"Forehead……"

Hearing this, Lin Xiangzhao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Thinking about it carefully, it was true. Those dignitaries were standing at the door, and it would be okay for others not to recognize someone like him who had just arrived.

But those bureaucrats who have been in the imperial city for many years are all familiar with each other. Will they let you go first? Or not?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiangzhao felt relieved and secretly sighed that Wen Liuli was indeed thoughtful.

Led by Tang Tianling, the group quickly arrived at the private room on the second floor. At this time, Wen Liuli was sitting in the room tapping on an abacus. She wanted to see how much revenue there was today.

Strictly speaking, today is only the first day of business, as someone disrupted it last time.

Seeing that the person coming was Tang Tianling, Wen Liuli just raised his eyelids and then continued to tap the abacus.

"Sixth brother, find a place to sit by yourself. Order whatever you want to eat. Just remember to pay when you leave."

I have to say, it's really inconvenient not to have a calculator in this crappy place. Her hands hurt from dialing the abacus.

"Your humble servant greets the princess."

At this moment, Lin Xiangzhao's voice suddenly rang in Wen Liuli's ears.

"Hey! Lord Lin is here too. Please take a seat. It's my treat today."

When Wen Liuli saw Lin Xiangzhao, her eyes lit up. She was very impressed by this good official. Tang Tianyu even specially asked for a high-ranking official position for him.

Tang Tianling twitched his lips when he heard this and said, "You are my sister-in-law."

Why is it that when I come here, I have to remember to pay when I leave, but when Lin Xiangzhao comes, it means you treat me today?

What? I'm not as handsome as Lin Xiangzhao? That shouldn't be the case, he has a scruffy beard and doesn't dress as well as I do.

"Thank you, empress."

Hearing Wen Liuli's words, Lin Xiangzhao smiled bitterly. Although he said that, he still planned to pay the money when he left.

He had already accepted the other person's huge kindness, so how could he have the nerve to eat Wen Liuli's rice?

Not only his own, he also planned to invite Tang Tianling as well. He had received a lot of care from Tang Tianling in the past few days.

"Cuizhu, help me order some spicy chicken to take away!"

The private room was just behind Wen Liuli. After inviting Lin Xiangzhao and his family in, Tang Tianling spoke to Cuizhu beside Wen Liuli.

Cuizhu was about to leave upon hearing this, but was pulled back by Wen Liuli.

"You don't have legs, go by yourself!"

"Forehead……"

Hearing this, Tang Tianling lost his temper immediately, turned around and called out, "Waiter."

In fact, the main reason he came here today was because his wife was pregnant and wanted to eat something spicy, especially spicy chicken, which Lin Buyao had been thinking about for a long time recently.

Tang Tianling came to pack for his wife, otherwise why would he come alone?

On the other hand, Lin Xiangzhao was deeply attracted by the surrounding decoration after entering the box.

Wen Liuli also put some thought into the decoration of these private rooms. Not only are each room equipped with tables, chairs and benches designed by her, she also found some calligraphy and paintings to hang inside. In addition, green plants are also indispensable.

In general, it can be summed up in two words: elegant.

It can make people who sit here to eat feel extra comfortable.

Of course, she didn't spend so much effort to build these private rooms in vain. Except for the dignitaries, everyone else who wanted to sit in the private rooms had to pay extra money, not much, only about twenty or thirty cents.

"This chair is so comfortable. The princess is truly an amazing person."

Sitting on the chair, Lin Xiangzhao's wife immediately felt comfortable. This chair was much more comfortable than the chairs in his home.

On the other hand, Lin Xiangzhao set his eyes on the turntable in the middle of the table. After carefully turning it, he was also amazed.

Although this thing has a simple design, it is extremely reasonable. With this turntable, you don't have to stand up to pick up dishes that are far away. Just gently flip it and the dishes will come to you.

Of course, what shocked Lin Xiangzhao the most was the menu here. Each private room has a separate menu for guests to order food. Lin Xiangzhao was amazed at the prices on it.

I have to say, the price is really cheap, not much more expensive than the plain noodles sold on the street.

He had already prepared to spend all his money, but who knew the price was so affordable. Not only him, but also ordinary people could afford it.

"Your Majesty is indeed kind."

After praising the dishes for a while, Lin Xiangzhao also selected a few dishes from the menu, all of which were things he had never eaten before.

For example, twice-cooked pork, Maoxuewang, stir-fried pork intestines, etc.

In keeping with the attitude of thrift, Lin Xiangzhao did not order much. There were only five people in his family, including his young son and old mother. Four dishes and one soup should be enough.

Who knew that when they tasted the food, they couldn't help but order a few more, and in the end they almost licked the plates clean before leaving.

“There are such delicious foods in this world!”

"Dad, can we come here to eat again in the future? It's so delicious."

"Not only is it cheap, but it tastes good too. I don't know how the princess did it."

After eating, everyone praised the food at Zhuyue Restaurant. Even his young child pulled at his sleeve and insisted on coming back again in the future.
