Song Jinxiu and Wei Qidong entered the private room chatting and laughing.

The private room was booked in advance.

Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "I don't know what General Wei likes, so I didn't dare to order in advance. Su Chuan, bring the menu to the general."

Su Chuan handed over the menu with an expressionless face.

Wei Qidong smiled and said, "Master Song is too polite. Just order the dishes. We soldiers are not picky eaters."

Song Jinxiu then said to the waiter, "Well, bring us five or six of your restaurant's signature dishes."

The waiter agreed and went out. Soon, he came back with another person.

Yu Ding was in his twenties, with delicate features and eyebrows. He wore a navy blue dress with embroidered flowers and a straight hem, and a purple jade belt with purple jade tassels.

"General Wei, Doctor Song, our prince invites you."

Who is this person?

And the prince he mentioned? Who is he?

Song Jinxiu looked at Wei Qidong curiously.

Wei Qidong frowned. Wasn't Prince Yin Wang hosting a dinner at Chun Yi Gui? How did he end up at Dong Feng Tower?

"Okay, got it."

After sending Yu Ding away, Wei Qidong finally explained, "It was Prince Yin. He returned to his fiefdom last year and just came back to the capital the day before yesterday. The one just now was his close confidant, Yu Ding."

In the last years of the late emperor, the late emperor was seriously ill, and the current emperor, the crown prince at the time, was acting as regent. It coincided with the three-year natural disaster.

At the time, the crown prince's three uncles and two older brothers rebelled against the emperor, accusing him of immorality. This was known as the Rebellion of the Five Kings. In fact, there were more than five involved.

But it is said that Prince Yin was guarding the border at the time and did not participate.

Later, after the Rebellion of the Five Kings was quelled, he returned to the court, just as the Five Kings were being executed and Caishikou was flooded with blood.

Prince Yin wrote to the late emperor, saying that while he did not despise the Five Kings for causing chaos in the country, he could not help but feel heartbroken that his blood brother had died because of it. After all, brothers have a deep bond.

In order to avoid being saddened by the scene, he begged the late emperor to allow him to leave the capital and go to his fiefdom to guard the border.

The late emperor was heartbroken after losing several of his sons. Before his death, he granted him Liangzhou as his fiefdom.

When the late emperor passed away, her biological mother, Concubine Liu, could have gone to live with her son in his fiefdom.

But Concubine Liu was so heartbroken that she cried and made a fuss, wanting to follow the late emperor. She even found a white silk thread and hanged herself.

Of course, he didn't die, but he vowed to stay in the capital, eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures and observe mourning for the late emperor.

Therefore, all the ministers looked at Concubine Liu differently. Such a loyal concubine should be a role model for the world.

Therefore, Concubine Liu's status in the palace was second only to the Empress Dowager.

These were all told to her by Aunt Chang and Nanny Lin when they were popularizing knowledge about the various aristocratic families in the capital, and Song Jinxiu organized and summarized them herself.

In other words, this Prince Yin was the only son of Prince Yin who was granted a fiefdom outside the capital.

Liangzhou, I heard from Aunt Chang that it is a wild place with many mountains and little land, and poisonous insects are everywhere.

When the Crown Prince was brought here, his body was covered with red spots from poisonous insect bites. Princess Yin was afraid that the child would have difficulty growing up in Liangzhou with them, so she begged Your Majesty to take him in.

Wei Qidong apologized, "Sir Song, please wait a moment. I'll go over and say hello."

"Hahaha, look at that. I said he's being unkind. The prince clearly invited Dr. Song, but he asked him to wait."

Sima Fei walked in, waving a folding fan, followed by Li Yicheng, who looked worried.

Li Yicheng explained: "Sir Song, everyone has heard that you are the most important female official in the court, so they all want to get to know you. If it is inconvenient..."

Sima Fei folded his fan and said with a smile, "The prince said that if Dr. Song is not convenient, we can come over here and join him."

What I mean is that we have to share a table.

Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "Since the prince is so kind, how can I refuse? Besides, my family is poor and cannot afford to treat so many people to a meal. Let the prince pay for it."

Sima Fei choked. He had heard from his sister that this girl had a sharp tongue.

It was really amazing. She brought out the princess's identity with just one word. He had no choice but to shut up.

Yu Ding couldn't help but glance at Song Jinxiu. "Our prince is always good at crying poor, but I didn't expect this one to be even better." "Your family is still poor? Who are you crying poor to?"

Song Jinxiu stood up and said to Su Chuan, "Go see if the waiter has ordered the dishes. If not, cancel it. The prince is treating us today, so we should save as much as possible."

Su Chuan had a blank expression on his face. "What if the waiter has reported it?"

Song Jinxiu looked at her and said, "Of course I packed it up. I'll pack it up and send it home so that they don't have to make it again."

Everyone: Can't you send the food to our private room after it's ready? How stingy is that?

Li Yicheng couldn't help but grin, while Wei Qidong remembered the scene where Song Jinxiu let the victims live in the county government office.

I thought to myself: This girl is used to eating out at rich people's houses.

The private room where Prince Yin is staying.

Chen Yiping hid behind the door and saw Song Jinxiu following Wei Qidong out of the private room and heading here. He quickly ran back to his seat and said, "Here she comes."

Everyone sat up straight and looked towards the door.

When Song Jinxiu stepped into the private room, she saw a young man in his twenties sitting in the main seat. He had phoenix eyebrows and bright eyes. When he saw her come in, he looked at her with a smile.

There were tables and chairs placed around the walls, and the people sitting there were all young people of similar age.

Facing the inquiring gazes of the crowd, Song Jinxiu walked over confidently, stood beside the brazier in the middle, bowed and said: Hello, Prince Yin.

Liu Qihui was stunned.

Prince Yin, how long has it been since I heard someone call him that?

When I was little, I went to Huguo Temple to draw lots. For three consecutive days, the numbers were bad.

The abbot of Huguo Temple looked at him, shook his head and sighed, but said nothing. Later, my grandmother asked Cui Qiu, the director of the Imperial Observatory, to help her break her bad luck.

Cui Qiu said that the late emperor gave his father the title of "Yin", which originally meant protection.

However, the name "Yin" belongs to the combination of wood and earth in the five elements. Wood overcomes earth, and wood and earth cannot coexist.

This combination is very unfavorable, especially for those who are born under the earth element, so for them, it means a life of misfortune with more failures than successes.

However, "Yin" was given by the previous emperor and cannot be changed, so it can only be hidden.

So, from that time on, he deliberately led everyone to call him the Crown Prince.

Prince Yin narrowed his eyes and asked: Did Dr. Song do this on purpose? Or was it accidental?

Seeing the Prince of Yin was stunned, Song Jinxiu frowned: What does he mean? He called me here and left me here?

She smiled and said, "If Prince Yin has nothing else to do, then..."

"Hahaha, Dr. Song, please forgive me. I just didn't expect Dr. Song to be so young. I was stunned for a moment. Come, add a table for Dr. Song and General Wei."

Liu Qihui smiled heartily and signaled his servants to move the table forward.

Song Jinxiu sat down confidently.

Everyone looked at her curiously, and she was also looking at everyone.

She was a doctor of mathematics at the Imperial College and a mathematics lecturer to the princes. She thought she knew most of the young men in the capital.

But she didn't recognize many of the people here today.

Seeing her expression, Prince Yin stood up with a smile, pointed at everyone, and introduced her personally.

Song Jinxiu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: So, this group of people are the playboys in the capital!

A dandy is naturally rich and powerful, who spends his time eating, drinking, and having fun, and does not work properly. Moreover, he is not young anymore, so naturally he does not need to study in the Imperial College, nor can he be selected as a companion to the prince.

"Today I am fortunate to meet the most talented woman in Cangwu. This is the Yao family multi-grain wine I brought from Liangzhou. Doctor Song, you should drink this cup to the full."

Prince Yin raised his glass and signaled his servant to fill it for her.

Wei Qidong frowned as he looked at the deep-mouthed wine glass in front of her and said, "Just a small taste."

Prince Yu yelled, "Hey, Wei Qidong, what do you mean? Dr. Song hasn't said anything, why are you stopping him?"
