Reborn to marry, the short-lived prince lived a hundred years

Qi Jiarou was so carried away by the price increase that she had only one thought in her mind, which was to snatch Meng Tingyue away. Even the maidservant beside her couldn't stop her.

Meng Tingyue showed regret on her face, "Since this girl wants it so much, I can only reluctantly give it up."

"Hmph, you overestimate yourself. The person who dares to compete with me has not been born yet." Qi Jiarou was proud.

"Yes, yes, you are the best." Meng Tingyue smiled.

The shopkeeper suppressed his laughter as he packed up the bracelet and handed it to Qi Jiarou. "Young lady, this bracelet costs twelve taels of silver."

"How much?" Qi Jiarou's face was full of disbelief.

"Twelve taels." said the shopkeeper.

"Why don't you just rob it? Such a broken bracelet costs twelve taels." Qi Jiarou was angry.

She only had fifteen taels of silver on her, which she had to ask her mother for to buy new clothes. She spent twelve taels of silver at once, and the remaining silver was not enough to buy new clothes.

The shopkeeper showed dissatisfaction, "It was the girl who asked for the price, not the price I set."

"There are so many people watching here, you won't deny your debt, will you?" Meng Tingyue raised her eyebrows.

Qi Jiarou's face turned pale and blue.

"Miss." The maid beside her carefully pulled Qi Jiarou.

"Why are you shouting? Give me the money." Qi Jiarou's heart was bleeding as she watched the silver fall into the hands of the shopkeeper.

The touch and quality of the bracelet after buying it made it clear that it was just a cheap item and not worth twelve taels at all.

For this, she resented Meng Tingyue even more and gnashed her teeth and said, "Just wait and see."

The people watching the excitement around dispersed when they saw people leaving.

Meng Tingyue looked at her leaving back with a smile as beautiful as a flower.

"The girl is amazing." Qinglan whispered in admiration.

She pinched her blue baby face and said generously, "We've made money. Come on, I'll take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."

The three of them came to Jinweilou, the largest restaurant in the capital.

"Girl, let's go to the private room on the second floor to eat." Qinglan suggested while looking at the bustling first floor.

Meng Tingyue shook her head, "No, we'll eat on the first floor."

Qinglan and Qingdian looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Meng Tingyue carefully selected a table near the stairs.

The waiter came over with the menu.

Meng Tingyue ordered some at random.

After the waiter left, Qinglan whispered to Qingdang doubtfully, "These don't seem to be what the girl likes to eat."

Qing Dian shook her head. She didn’t know what the girl was up to yet.

If she remembered correctly, there were several dishes here that she and Qinglan liked to eat.

And this Jinweilou...

Qing Dian seemed to be lost in thought. She remembered that before she left, the girl had specifically asked her to ask the master about the whereabouts of the prince. She had thought the girl was not planning to go.

There were many guests in Jinweilou, including many young talents. Meng Tingyue's appearance successfully attracted the attention of many young men.

Some playboys even came forward.

"Why did you come to Jinweilou to eat alone? Are you waiting for someone?"

Qiao Tingfeng waved his folding fan, like a flamboyant butterfly, and walked confidently in front of Meng Tingyue, raising a smile that he thought was very handsome.

"Greetings, Master Qiao." Meng Tingyue was slightly surprised and slowly stood up and bowed.

Qiao Tingfeng was quite proud and sat directly in the empty seat in front of Meng Tingyue. "You know me, my fame is still as great as it was back then."

Meng Tingyue smiled, "Of course."

Qiao Tingfeng is the son of King Jingbei, and he is also a late-born son, so he is very favored.

Two years ago, Qiao Tingfeng was a well-known playboy in Beijing and the leader of a group of Beijing dandies. He was disliked by King Jingbei for his lack of knowledge and was thrown into the military camp for two years of training. He only came back a few days ago.

Two years of wind and sun have not tanned Qiao Tingfeng's skin, which is still fair and tender. He seems to be very happy and carefree in the military camp.

Qiao Tingfeng fanned himself and approached, "I wonder where you are from, young lady? Would you like to be my friend?"

"My last name is Meng, and my father is Meng Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple."

"Meng Shaoqing's eldest daughter." Qiao Tingfeng always felt as if he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where it was for a moment.

He had just returned from the military camp and was not aware of the current changes in court officials. For a moment, he could not remember who Meng Shaoqing was.

However, looking at the outstanding appearance of the girl in front of him, with his photographic memory, he would definitely not forget her if he saw her in the capital.

Maybe he is a new official who has not been in office in the past two years.

Qiao Tingfeng quickly put the matter behind him, and his eyes seemed to be glued to her.

He actually didn't know that there was such a stunning young lady in the capital. She was much prettier than Princess Luo Jia, and her temper seemed much better than Luo Jia's.

"Miss, what do you think of this prince?" Qiao Tingfeng waved his fan, tilting his face slightly to reveal a handsome angle.

Meng Tingyue blinked. "Prince Qiao is handsome and suave, the dream lover of countless women in the capital, but I..."

Qiao Tingfeng became more and more proud as he listened, and he interrupted Meng Tingyue directly, "Miss, are you married? Would you like to consider marrying me, your son?"

Meng Tingyue was startled, then laughed and said, "Thank you for your concern, my Lord. I already have an engagement."

Qiao Tingfeng was startled, his brows furrowed slightly before relaxing. "It's alright. This prince has a good family background, a handsome face, and a great figure. There are not many people in the capital who can compare to him. Miss, would you like to consider him? He is definitely better than your fiancé."

Qiao Tingfeng had a good idea. As long as Meng Tingyue showed any sign of compromise, he would immediately go back and ask his father for help, even if he had to throw a tantrum and make his father take action.

There is no one he cannot get who he wants.

"This..." Meng Tingyue's eyes suddenly fixed on the person who walked in from the door, "My fiancé is here, why don't you ask him, Master Qiao."

Qiao Tingfeng thought to himself: You’ve come just in time.

"This prince wants to see what kind of handsome man is worthy of Miss Meng."

Before I found the person, I saw a dazzling presence in the crowd.

He instantly put away his nonchalant attitude, and when the man approached, he called out politely, "Prince."

Shen Yunheng was still wearing the same dark brocade robe as yesterday, and his stern brows furrowed even more tightly when he saw Meng Tingyue and Qiao Tingfeng together.

Qiao Tingfeng felt the cold chill emanating from Shen Yunheng and shuddered suddenly. He couldn't understand why the prince got angry just because he called out two words.

He wanted to cry but had no tears and was about to say something.

Shen Yunheng asked: "Why are you here?"

Qiao Tingfeng replied dryly: "Just happened to come here for dinner..."

"I didn't ask you." Shen Yunheng glanced at Qiao Tingfeng indifferently, then his gaze fell on Meng Tingyue again and he repeated, "Why are you here?"

Meng Tingyue smiled sweetly, "I came here to eat too."

Shen Yunheng's eyes were deep and fixed on Meng Tingyue, wondering if she believed it or not.

Qiao Tingfeng looked up suddenly, stunned, "Do you know each other?"

Meng Tingyue walked slowly to Shen Yunheng's side, smiling sweetly, "This is the fiancé I just mentioned to you, the one I was engaged to marry."

The man was tall and extremely long, with facial features that were so striking and handsome.

The woman standing beside the man looked very petite, only reaching the man's shoulders. Her face was delicate and small, like a fairy in a painting. At this moment, her eyes seemed to be able to speak, making Qiao Tingfeng's heart tremble.

The man exuded a chilling aura, revealing an indifference that kept people at a distance at all times, but the woman didn't seem to care at all.

A line of words emerged in Qiao Tingfeng’s mind: a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven.

At the same time, the sound of his heart breaking and deep regret could be heard.

When I think about what I just did, I want to slap myself.

And so he did.

Two strong slaps directly slapped his face red, and the sound scared Meng Tingyue.

Everyone in the hall cast their eyes over.

Shen Yunheng frowned slightly, guessing something, and said to Qiao Tingfeng, "Let's talk about it when we get upstairs."

Then his gaze slid towards the person beside him.

Meng Tingyue immediately smiled, "Brother Crown Prince, meeting is fate. I can go up with you. Don't worry, I will definitely not cause trouble."

"If the Crown Prince has official business to attend to, I can cover my ears and wait nearby. I'll be happy as long as I can accompany the Crown Prince."

To show her sincerity, Meng Tingyue raised her hand and held up four fingers.
