Chapter 37

Early the next morning.

Before the sun rose, countless people had already gathered in the main street of Huangfu, densely packed and crowded.

The common people who had already passed yesterday’s propaganda, after a hot day of waiting, couldn’t stand the damn hot weather anymore, so they came here early in the morning, thinking about buying ice as soon as possible to cool off.

I only saw that the surface of the ice shop was painted light green, which seemed out of place with the surroundings, but for some reason, the common people seemed to feel refreshed when they saw this light green color.

And on this street, it is particularly eye-catching.

There is also a plaque covered with red cloth above the shop, waiting to be unveiled.

As time went by, more and more people came to hear the news, and it was unprecedentedly lively.

In the distance, a group of officials appeared, and the leader was Chen Jiande.

When I saw the bustling scene of the crowds of people on the street, which blocked the whole street, I was immediately dumbfounded.

God, why are there so many people here!

And the gathering on a hot day, don't you feel very hot?

The master next to him said softly: "My lord, yesterday this ice shop sent people to publicize it everywhere in the city, so all the common people know that the ice shop is about to open today."

Chen Jiande was amazed by the methods of the Ninth Prince. In just one day, everyone in the city knew about it. He really deserves to be His Highness the Ninth Prince.

However, he also understands the importance of ice cubes to these ordinary people. Even as a state shepherd, when there is no ice cubes, he can only sit by the well to cool off, let alone ordinary people.

Chen Jiande came here this time mainly because he had agreed to Li Changfeng's request to unveil the ice shop in person yesterday.

He also understood Li Changfeng's purpose in doing this. First, he hoped to use his status as a state shepherd to pave the platform for Bing so that the public would recognize him and know that he was not playing tricks.

The second is to conceal Li Changfeng's identity as the latter of Bingpu's curtain.

Immediately, Chen Jiande gave the order to dispatch many yamen servants to maintain order on the scene.

And he came to the ice shop from the dense crowd under the guard of the Yacha, and said loudly to the crowd: "Everyone, don't worry, the ice shop will not officially open until the auspicious time comes."

There will be no major problems if the government personally goes down to maintain order.

However, Chen Jiande did not start cutting the ribbon right away, because His Highness told him that besides him, there were two other mysterious guests, who were said to be two inspectors, who were also invited to cut the ribbon together.

When he heard that it was two inspectors, Chen Jiande was stunned.

Where did the two inspectors come from?
Isn't there only one inspector in history?
But His Majesty said yes.

But as time passed, the auspicious time gradually approached, but Chen Jiande didn't see the two inspectors appearing for a long time, and his face became a little more irritable.

All the local state shepherds of him came here early, but the inspectors of the two mere seventh-rank sesame officials came later than him, the state shepherd, what a shame!
If it wasn't for His Highness the Ninth Prince's sake, he would definitely not have waited any longer.

Seeing that the auspicious hour was about to arrive, Chen Jiande saw Li Changfeng walking in with two people in seventh-rank official uniforms from a distance.

Chen Jiande suddenly gasped in surprise. Looking from a distance, he felt that the two seventh-rank inspection officials had a sense of deja vu.

It's just that the two kept their heads slightly lowered to talk with Li Changfeng, and they were far away from each other, so Chen Jiande didn't see their true colors clearly.

When they reached the edge of the crowd, Li Changfeng whispered a few words to the two of them, and then stopped coming in, allowing two seventh-rank inspection officials to pass through the crowd.

Chen Jiande frowned, and was about to scold them in a low voice for why they arrived so late and how decent they were, but when they saw their real faces at close range, they were so frightened that their knees went limp.

Fuck it, Your Majesty!
And Eunuch Gao!
His Highness actually invited His Majesty to come here to unveil the unveiling. Where are the two seventh-rank officials that were agreed?

Chen Jiande was about to kneel down and salute immediately. At this time, Eunuch Gao rushed forward in three steps and two steps, one step faster, supported Chen Jiande who was about to kneel down, and whispered in his ear: "Master Chen, there is no need to salute. , His Majesty is going on tour today in his humble clothes, no one knows his identity, including His Highness the Ninth Prince, understand?"

Ok?
No one knows the identity of His Majesty, including His Highness the Ninth Prince?
What do you mean?
Chen Jiande was a little confused, so it was fine to say that the common people did not know His Majesty's identity. After all, not many ordinary people in Huangfu Mansion had seen His Majesty's true face with their own eyes.

But the Ninth Prince is His Majesty's child, how could he not know His Majesty's identity?

And hasn't His Majesty summoned His Highness to enter the Evergreen Palace for several days?
No matter what he does, he can't figure it out.

Seeing his blank face, Gao Dali was worried that he might say something wrong, and added indifferently: "You don't need to know too much, as long as you know that His Highness the Ninth Prince has not recognized His Majesty's identity, and only thinks that His Majesty and I are both a seventh-rank Just inspect the officials. You will not be allowed to expose His Majesty's identity in front of His Highness the Ninth Prince in the future, understand?"

"Your official understands!" Chen Jiande nodded quickly, sensing the warning in Eunuch Gao's tone, how dare he disobey it.

Eunuch Gao had a smile on his face, but the words that reached Chen Jiande's ears were cold: "Smile naturally, don't let His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince notice that something is wrong, just be normal."

The lower official also wants to be normal, but Eunuch Gao is next to you, how can the lower official relax.

Chen Jiande wanted to cry in his heart, so he could only try his best to keep the smile on his face, and at the same time, he glanced imperceptibly at the Ninth Prince in the distance. He didn't expect that the Ninth Prince didn't know that Emperor Qianwu was his father.

No, I probably don't know what my father looks like.

As if aware that he was looking at him, the Ninth Prince smiled and nodded at him from afar.

Chen Jiande quickly nodded in response.

But I was thinking in my heart, why did His Majesty hide his identity from the Ninth Prince and not tell him?
It's just that he dared not ask Emperor Qianwu face to face about this question, the emperor's mind was hard to guess.

At this time, Emperor Qianwu came to Chen Jiande's side and said in a low voice: "Master Chen, do you know who is the owner behind this ice shop?"

Those sharp eyes made Chen Jiande not dare to look directly at him. He glanced imperceptibly at Li Changfeng in the distance, feeling bitter in his heart. He promised His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince and declared that he opened the shop by himself.

But His Majesty personally asked...

Of course, Chen Jiande chose to betray Li Changfeng without hesitation, and said in a low voice, "Report to Your Majesty, it belongs to His Majesty."

"I know this. Also, don't call me Your Majesty outside."

Emperor Ganwu condensed his voice into a line and passed it to Chen Jiande: "I also know that Xiao Jiu asked you to be the shop owner in the open, right?"

A look of shock appeared in Chen Jiande's eyes, he didn't expect His Majesty to know everything.

The three stood in front of the shop, but according to their superficial identities, Chen Jiande should be standing in the middle, and the other two stood on his left and right sides.

But how dare Chen Jiande, not to mention Emperor Qianwu, even Gao Dali is not something he can afford to offend, so he quickly stood on the right side, let Emperor Qianwu stand in the middle, and Gao Dali stood on the left.

After all, respect the left.

Although Emperor Qianwu made it clear that he didn't want to expose his identity, he didn't want to offend Eunuch Gao.

In the distance, Li Changfeng saw all this and frowned. What kind of plane is Lao Chen doing?

You, a state shepherd, didn't stand in the middle, but ran to the right.

It's just that the auspicious time has come.

A red ribbon is pulled up.

The three held scissors in their hands and cut the ribbon together.

Under the attention of all the people, the red cloth covering the plaque was immediately pulled down, and a plaque with the four characters of 'Mixue Ice City' suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The ice shop is officially open!
