After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

Helan Xuenuo asked curiously, "Princess, have you seen the true face of Princess Ning'an?"

The princess shrugged and said, "That's not the case. Ning An has a lot of self-esteem because of her appearance. She has been wearing a veil since she was a child. She hasn't even seen her mother, the queen, and her father. She has lived in the palace since she was a child, living alone in a bedroom, and rarely leaves the palace."

The princess lowered her voice again and asked, "Do you know about the rumor?"

"Which one?" Helan Xuenuo was confused. Seeing that the princess was already drunk and was telling everything, she was really afraid of hearing something she shouldn't hear.

"It's about Ning An's incident!"

"Oh... I've heard a little bit about it."

The princess continued drinking a glass of wine and whispered in Helan Xuenuo's ear, "That story is true. The palace maid was frightened to death after seeing Ning An's true face. Since then, Ning An has been even more reluctant to see people. To be honest, I'm glad I didn't see her true face. How terrifying would it be to scare someone to death? It's a pity for Ning An. If she had a beautiful face, she would have many ideal husbands in love with her."

When the princess was about to continue speaking, she heard the sound of people's footsteps outside the tent, the sound of weapons hitting the floor from time to time, and someone shouting. The sound came from far away, until the footsteps and shouting got closer and closer, she could hear clearly that it was the princess who was shouting.

The princess suddenly woke up, stood up in a hurry, and almost fell backwards. She was still drunk, so Xiao Zhu hurriedly took the hooded cloak from the shelf and put it on her.

"I have to go. They've started looking for me. If I don't go out now, they might think I've been taken away by wild wolves."

She tiptoed out of the tent, looked around, and waved to Helan Xuenuo and the others, asking them to go back and rest.

After the princess left, the footsteps and shouts gradually disappeared.

Xiao Zhu asked, "Girl, why are you so close to the princess? Just now when the princess was here, I didn't dare to breathe for a long time. I was really scared."

Helan Xuenuo chuckled, "You're usually fearless, but now you're afraid of people?"

"The princess is very kind and has a simple mind. Don't be afraid of her."

Xiao Zhu nodded, and seeing Helan Xuenuo's cheeks flushed red, she said with some concern, "Miss, drinking so much ice wine is not good for your health. You should rest early."

She helped Helan Xuenuo change her clothes before leaving.

This autumn hunting ended quickly.

After the banquet.

The next day, everyone returned to the capital with the large group.

Only after returning to Helan Mansion did Helan Xuenuo feel like he was back home. The autumn field was full of jackals, tigers and leopards, and it was quite troublesome to deal with them.

She found a big box, put the King of the West bow she had won in it, and closed the box tightly.

It is said that dust is here to be collected.

She played with the gentleman's bow in her hand. It was small and exquisitely crafted. She couldn't help but admire the craftsmanship of the bow maker. A bow like this must have taken a long time to make. Yuan Xu was so thoughtful that he customized a bow for her so early.

I thought of Yaniang from the knife shop again. Could it be that Yuan Xu made a bow for her just to find Yaniang?

My thoughts are in a mess.

She was planning to go to the training ground to practice archery, but suddenly she remembered that Yuan Xu had gone to the northwest, and her heart suddenly felt empty.

She thought she might be hungry, and remembered what Huang Jiuyuan had said before, that all meals at Wenxianglou would be charged to his account, so it would be a waste if she didn't eat. So she invited Xiaozhu to go to Wenxianglou for dinner together.

In the Dongzi private room of Wenxianglou, she ordered a lot without hesitation and started to eat happily with Xiaozhu, ordering all the signature dishes.

At this time, a man came in with a shameless smile. It was Huang Jiuyuan. He always dressed neatly and charmingly, with his hair neatly combed and still.

He opened his arms and shouted, "My friend, Xue Nuo, it feels like a long time since I last saw you."

Helan Xuenuo is no longer surprised.

Huang Jiuyuan sat down next to their table, asked the waiter to add more bowls and chopsticks, and ate a few bites as well.

Helan Xuenuo asked curiously, "How did you find it?"

"I've been a VIP customer of Wenxiang Lou for many years. How else could I find him? I don't need to ask. Someone told me that the owner here is a good friend of mine. So, you haven't seen the owner of Wenxiang Lou, have you?"

Huang Jiuyuan looked proud, showing his big white teeth.

Helan Xuenuo recalled that she had been to Wenxianglou so many times but had never seen a shopkeeper. The receptionists here were all waiters, and everything was in order. There was only one waiter in charge of the management.

This piqued her curiosity. "Could it be that this is some untainted handsome man, hiding from view?"

"Well, I won't tell you, just guess it yourself." Huang Jiuyuan looked mean.

Xiao Zhu said angrily, "Girl, don't pay attention to him. He's such a frivolous person, so I guess the friends he makes are also not frivolous."

Helan Xuenuo agreed, "That's true."

Huang Jiuyuan was unconvinced and said, "What do you mean by unruly? Humph, I want to show you what I am capable of."

Helan Xuenuo put down her chopsticks, looked at Huang Jiuyuan, and said with a wicked smile, "Is he as good-looking as you?"

Hearing Helan Xuenuo praising his good looks, he felt a little embarrassed and said shyly, "Don't be so blunt, I admit that I am good-looking. Although he is not as good-looking as me, he is also a handsome man."

Huang Jiuyuan stood up and pulled the two of them, "Stop eating and follow me."

The two of them had no choice but to put down their chopsticks. Compared to eating, handsome men were more precious, so this meal was nothing.

As the saying goes, beauty is food, and they planned to have a feast.

The three of them came to the bamboo forest on the outskirts of the city. The bamboo forest was dense and thick, and a blue lake was revealed where the green trees met.

A man was fishing in the green lake. Behind him were several bamboo houses with triangular roofs made of thatch. Most of the roofs were blocked by the hanging branches of the bamboo forest.

The house is gray, the bamboo leaves are dark green, and the people are vivid and colorful.

The surroundings were silent, as if one was looking at an ink-splashed landscape painting, except that the faces of the people in the painting were blurry.

Huang Jiuyuan led them along the gravel ground where green leaves had fallen, and walked along the lakeside.

Helan Xuenuo asked, "Is that the owner of Wenxianglou?"

"Yes, he loves to research delicacies and isn't good at socializing, so he lives far away in the suburbs to concentrate on his research. Once he makes a good dish, Wenxianglou will serve it the next day."

Hearing this, Helan Xuenuo became quite interested. "So special? How did you two know each other?"

Huang Jiuyuan said casually, "Of course it depends on my unique personal charm."

Helan Xuenuo, "......."

"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. The land where Wenxianglou was located originally belonged to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Later, he rented it. Unexpectedly, the food he made was delicious and the business was booming. So he thought of buying Wenxianglou.

But my father didn't want to. After all, collecting rent is a long-term business, and if he bought it out, he could only earn money once.

At that time, I went to Wenxianglou every day. This guy kept teasing me with some delicious food, and his intentions were not pure. After we got to know each other, I stole the token of Wenxianglou and sold it to him.

I also got a lecture. What's the point of my father doing all this? The deeds to the prime minister's mansion are piled up in piles. It would take a day to count them all. Isn't it just a restaurant? If you ask me, my father is a miser. Money can't be brought into this world and can't be taken away from this world. Why does he have to calculate it so carefully? Don't you agree?"
