Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

Sheng Chang'an turned slightly to the side. The ones who laughed were some young teenagers who had just entered the inn. Their clothes were all made of mulberry silk, and the brocade was smooth. There has been a saying since ancient times that "woven silk is as valuable as gold".

The jade pendant she was wearing was exquisitely carved. Although she couldn't tell what material it was made of, judging from the carving technique, it was obvious that it was of great value.

The young man in the lead had his eyebrows slightly raised, a malicious smile on his face, and a loose cloak on his body, making these people look a little too thin.

"Are you the Sheng Chang'an that's been rumored?" He deliberately stretched out the word "rumored," making it sound even more sinister. "But you haven't developed any superhuman abilities, have you?"

Sheng Changan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "May I know your name?"

"Feng Lin" He raised his head slightly, showing his confidence.

The four noble families in the capital are headed by Feng, Huang, Liang and Meng, with the Feng family being the most arrogant. Among them, Feng Xuan is the sister of the head of the Feng family, and is also the concubine Feng who shares the power in the harem equally with the Liu family.

It can be seen how powerful she is, but since she began to openly erode the interests of the aristocratic families, the Liu family and the aristocratic families have begun to join forces, at least on the surface.

But whether they are united or not is not certain...

Sheng Changan thought for a moment and said lightly, "I haven't heard of it."

The smile on Feng Lin's face stopped, and the corners of his mouth sank slightly. "It doesn't matter. You will remember this name well soon."

The inn was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused here. Those who recognized the identities of these people probably didn't want to cause trouble, so they left quietly.

Sheng Changan raised her eyebrows and said, "Then I'll wait." It just so happened that she needed some people to lead out the person she wanted to see, and these people came just in time.

Feng Lin seemed to want to say something, but someone next to him tugged at his sleeve, and he suddenly became quiet, snorted coldly, and left.

As people walked into the private room upstairs, the noise in the hall resumed.

Sheng Changan had a calm expression and had specially found a seat by the window. As soon as they sat down, the waiter who had been waiting nearby came over to greet them. "Since you are new to the capital, would you like to try our signature dishes?"

Xu Qing's eyes lit up, and he asked with anticipation, "What's the signature dish?"

When Sheng Changan heard the word "signature dish", her brows darkened slightly, but she did not interrupt Xu Qing's question. She just looked cold. After all, she didn't come here to eat.

So he was mentally prepared for what was going to happen next, but could it be that Xu Qing had forgotten something?

The waiter was quite excited. "Our dishes are all freshly made, and the ingredients are very fresh. If you are interested, you can come and see for yourself."

"Botou Rou and Buxi Yang are our most popular dishes. They're a bit pricey, but you guys can definitely afford them."

"Then~" Xu Qing stretched out his voice and changed the subject, "We don't want these. Just a pot of tea will be fine."

The waiter's smiling face froze. "What... did you say?"

Xu Qing knocked on the table. "You didn't even hear it clearly. Your hearing is not very good! I just want a pot of tea, nothing else."

The waiter slowly straightened his bent back, brushed off the dust on his sleeves, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Sir, what a joke you are telling me. You came to this Donglai Inn and only drank a pot of water. Do you know who is behind this inn?"

Xu Qing shook his head honestly, "I really don't know. Tell me."

Sheng Changan suppressed the smile on his lips and lowered his head as if he heard nothing.

The waiter was a little choked up, and said with a hint of anger, "Master Sheng, your subordinate is too unclear about the situation. When you are under someone's roof, you must keep your head down, otherwise you will lose your head!"

Sheng Changan's expression suddenly darkened, and she threw the teacup in her hand away heavily.

If the waiter hadn't dodged in time, the teacup would have hit him in the face. "Are you threatening me?"

The waiter looked at the broken teacup at his feet, his face slightly twisted, and said in a gloomy voice, "Master Sheng, even when beating a dog, you have to look at its owner."

Xu Qing immediately and attentively moved the cup in front of him to Sheng Changan, with a hint of eagerness on his face, and he was just about to say something about starting a fight.

It's obvious that he just wants to watch the fun and not mind making trouble.

Sheng Changan was nearly distracted by his annoyance. He took a deep breath and pulled himself back to his senses. "Then tell me, who is the owner of this dog of yours? Why does it seem like he's too scared to see anyone?"

She spun the cup in her hand. "Why don't I give you this chance? Go ask the owner of your dog if he's willing to help you."

The waiter gritted his teeth. He was just a waiter, and he was usually arrogant because no one could afford to offend this inn.

Of course, he didn't dare to offend those who looked rich or noble. He only bullied ordinary people, but he didn't expect to hit a wall here.

"Then Lord Sheng must stay alive, otherwise he will never see my master again. This is a small shop, so Lord Sheng should find another place."

As soon as he finished speaking, the thugs hiding in the dark surrounded him instantly, looking like they wanted to drive him away.

Li Hui and others stood in front of Sheng Changan vigilantly. Now, not to mention the people downstairs, even most of the people in the box upstairs came out to watch this good show.

Sheng Changan didn't expect that she would be humiliated to this extent. The person behind the inn didn't even show his head. She didn't believe that the Liu family didn't know that she was here.

It's impossible that they only sent these few young men to test her strength. "In that case, let's try somewhere else."

The waiter was a little surprised. He didn't expect that she would leave so easily.

Xu Qing smacked his lips and followed Sheng Changan's footsteps. "Sir, are you really leaving?"

"Of course I really left." If they didn't see the person they wanted to see, and something really happened, they would be the ones who would be in trouble if they didn't have an absolute advantage.

Xu Qing felt a little regretful and raised his voice slightly, "Sir, your throwing of the teacup just now wasn't very accurate! Next time, let me let you throw it, and I guarantee it will hit the dog's head with it."

Sheng Changan twitched his lips, really feeling that the hatred he had attracted was not enough! As soon as Xu Qing said these words, the people behind him probably wanted to kill him.

This waiter doesn't look like someone who can swallow his anger.
