My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

"Liu Qing and Liu Hong, let's go to a restaurant now." Xiaoyanzi affectionately took Liu Hong and Ziwei's arms, "It's been a long time since we had a meal and chat together."

Xiaoyanzi remembered that before she entered the palace, she and Liu Qing and Liu Hong often saved a portion of the money they earned from performing. When they had enough saved, they would buy delicious food for everyone to improve their lives. Unfortunately, the money they saved was only enough to buy some cheap snacks outside.

As for the delicious food in the restaurant, forget it.

"Xiaoyanzi, are you crazy?" Liu Hong looked at Xiaoyanzi in surprise. "How can we afford to eat out?"

Liu Qing was also shocked by Xiaoyanzi's words.

He reached out and touched his wallet.

There were only some copper coins and small change in it, which probably couldn't even afford the worst dish in the restaurant.

Not to mention so many people.

Xiaoyanzi is going to sell herself and Liu Hong out.

Liu Qing walked over to Xiaoyanzi with a guilty conscience and whispered, "My dear Yanzi, are you planning to sell Liu Hong and me? I don't think even if you sell us, we won't be enough to pay you."

Liu Hong agreed, "Yeah, I don't know how long this money will last. A few days ago, Liu Qing and I went to the streets to perform, but no one gave us any tips. And Liu Qing injured his hand yesterday from practicing, so he needs to rest for a while."

Xiaoyanzi heard that Liu Qing's hand was injured.

She quickly stepped forward, took Liu Qing's hand, and asked distressedly, "How is it? Have you seen a doctor? What did the doctor say?"

"Liu Hong, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Liu Qing pushed Liu Hong with a hint of blame in his tone.

"I'm not wrong, you're indeed injured." Seeing that Liu Qing didn't appreciate her, Liu Hong said unhappily, "I've never seen anyone as ignorant as you. If I hadn't pulled you aside this morning, I'm afraid you would have gone out into the streets brandishing swords and guns again."

After hearing this, Xiaoyanzi rolled up Liu Qing's sleeves before he could react.

I guess I hit the injured area with some carelessness just now.

Liu Qing suddenly hissed and pulled his hands back. "Hey, Xiaoyanzi, what are you doing? Have you forgotten? We used to get bruises when we practiced. Why are you making such a fuss?"

"Liu Qing, we're just concerned about you," Xiaoyanzi continued. "By the way, when Ziwei and I left, we not only brought clothes and food, but also a lot of silver. It's enough for everyone in the compound. You and Liuhong shouldn't go out to perform during this time."

When Liu Qing and Liu Hong heard this, their expressions instantly became serious.

Liu Hong glanced at the gorgeously dressed men, then pulled Xiaoyanzi towards her.

"Xiaoyanzi, is it okay for you to take out the silver without permission?" Liu Hong asked worriedly, "If the emperor finds out, will he blame you?"

Xiaoyanzi smiled and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, these are all gifts from the Emperor to Ziwei and me, don't worry."

"Don't lie to me, otherwise we won't dare to use it." Liu Hong said.

Erkang stepped forward and explained, "Miss Liuhong, since these silver coins are given to Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei by the emperor, they can use them as they please. You can accept them without worry."

Little Swallow nodded.

Seeing that Liu Hong was still skeptical, Ziwei took her hand and said with a smile, "Liu Hong, don't you still believe what Xiaoyanzi said? Besides, without the emperor's permission, we wouldn't be so bold as to secretly take things out of the palace. Moreover, Master Erkang of the Scholar's Mansion has said so. Aren't you still worried?"

"Okay, I'd like to thank you on behalf of everyone in this compound, young and old." Liu Hong looked at everyone gratefully, her voice choked with sobs, and her eyes slightly red.

Liu Qing and Liu Hong took everyone to a restaurant in the west of the city.

The prices at this restaurant are mid-range.

Many people who have a little money on hand will choose to come here.

"Dear guests, please come in." The waiter saw so many people coming in and hurried forward to greet them and show them the way. "I'll take you to the private room on the second floor."

When Liu Qing heard the waiter wanted to take everyone to the private room, he immediately stopped him and said, "Just find us a bigger round table. No need to go to the private room."

"Yes, yes, we'll eat in the lobby downstairs." Liu Hong looked around the lobby and found an empty table not far away. Everyone could sit down if they squeezed a little. "We'll sit over there. Go clean up."

The waiter glanced at the group of people and found that except for the person who had just spoken, everyone else was dressed gorgeously and did not look like they were poor at all.

Besides, since they came to their restaurant to eat, they must be rich people. And it makes no sense that so many people would rather squeeze together downstairs than go to the private room upstairs.

"Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei, you two sit here, and Jinsuo sit next to me." Liu Hong arranged for the three of them to sit in the seats closest to her, then looked at the two unfamiliar girls, "What are your names?"

"My name is Caixia."

"My name is Mingyue."

After everyone took their seats.

The table is now full of dishes.

Xiaoyanzi looked at the table full of dishes happily and said, "Liu Hong, would you like some Yangchun noodles? I've heard that this restaurant has the best Yangchun noodles."

Xiaoyanzi’s favorite noodles are Yangchun noodles.

Liu Hong nodded and said, "I ordered it. This is your favorite food. How could I forget it?"

The voice just fell.

The waiter was holding a large bowl of plain noodles and placed it in the middle.

Seeing this, Ertai immediately picked up the bowl in front of him, filled it up for Xiaoyanzi, and placed it in front of her, saying considerately, "Xiaoyanzi, be careful, it's hot. Blow on it before eating."

"Thank you, Ertai."

But at this time.

A man walked in from the door.

The waiter saw that it was an acquaintance and immediately trotted over with a smile on his face, "Master Xiao, why are you here so late today? The wine has been heated several times."

"It doesn't matter."

Xiao Jian took the Xiao and sword from behind and placed them on the table.

The waiter reheated the wine and brought it over. "Master Xiao, where have you been having fun today? You seem to be in a good mood today."

Xiao Jian had a smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a hint of impatience. He raised his hand and waved at the waiter, saying, "Stop talking nonsense, kid. Hurry up and get back to work. Be careful that your boss deducts your wages for this month."

"Xiao Xia, please stop joking with me."

"Why don't you go get me some freshly braised beef?" Xiao Jian said.

After hearing this, the waiter immediately ran towards the kitchen. Xiao Jian looked at the boy's back as he left and smiled with satisfaction. He then picked up the wine jug, filled his glass with wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

After the wine went down his throat, Xiao Jian slowly closed his eyes and felt the joy it brought him. However, for some reason, he felt drunk today after drinking only one glass of wine.

Xiao Jian murmured, "Calligraphy, painting, music, chess, poetry, wine, and flowers. Back then, I was inseparable from these five things. Now, all five things have changed. Xiao Jian, the country, poetry, wine, and tea are all gone."

"Look at that person, he is really arrogant, and not only is his tone arrogant, his writing is also so good." Ziwei couldn't help but praise him, and even cast a look of approval at the person who just recited the poem.
