Chapter 219 Encounter
Jing Muling took Shen Zhuoxi to the White Crane Tower.
It's been a long time since I've been to Baihe Tower. The shopkeeper was a little surprised to see Shen Zhuoxi: "You haven't been here for a while. I thought you would never patronize our place again."
"What are you talking about?" Zhengqing scolded him and said, "Prepare the private room, and then put on Jin'er's sign."
The shopkeeper didn't dare to argue with Zhengqing, so he agreed and led a few people to the private room.
"It's almost noon now, why are there not many people around?" Zhengfeng followed and asked curiously: "At this time in the past, there weren't even any empty seats left in the White Crane Tower."
"Hey, don't mention it." The shopkeeper showed a slightly sad face, glanced at Shen Zhuoxi who was walking side by side with Jing Muling, and whispered: "Since Taoxi Lou opened, our business here has been getting worse every day."
"Business there is booming now, but our place is naturally inferior. I heard that they launch new dishes every few days, and they taste good. If this continues, all the people will go there."
"Doing business has its ups and downs." Zhengqing did not dare to say more, and only said: "The shopkeeper just does his job well."
The shopkeeper responded in a low voice, not daring to say anything more, and led a few people to the private room.
Before a few people entered the door, Doza and Dunzhu happened to come over, followed by sisters Shen Wanwan and Shen Qingqing.
"Your Majesty?" Doza stopped the two of them, stepped forward quickly, and said, "What a coincidence, Your Majesty and Miss Shen Er are also dining here?"
Jing Muling turned around, her eyes unfocused, with just the right amount of confusion.
Zhengfeng understood and reminded: "Sir, he is the heir apparent of the Rongqiang people. He is also accompanied by Princess Dunzhu and the two cousins of the Shen family."
"Prince Duozha." Jing Muling nodded as a courtesy: "You have just arrived in Shengdu and are you not dining with the emperor in the palace?"
"The emperor said that we are young people and should stay with young people. Besides, there was a reception banquet yesterday, so I was allowed to come out for a walk." Doza said, looking at Dunzhu beside him.
"It just so happens that my little sister likes the food in Shengdu, and the White Crane Tower is the most famous, so we came here."
As Doza spoke, he looked at Jing Muling and Shen Zhuoxi carefully and said, "Are you two coming back from outside?"
"We're out of the city." Jing Muling said without explaining, "In that case, I and the second lady will not disturb the prince and the princess in their pleasure."
"Why bother, Your Majesty, since we are destined to meet each other, why don't we come together?" Doza suggested: "It just so happens that I have something to say to Your Majesty."
Jing Muling's brows furrowed inaudibly for a moment, and just when she was about to refuse, Shen Zhuoxi was the first to respond: "It's okay, it will be more lively with more people."
Jing Muling had no idea what Shen Zhuoxi was thinking.
What did she agree to do when she knew Dundup had ill intentions towards her?
As if aware of his doubts, Shen Zhuoxi got a little closer and explained in a low voice: "Knowing yourself and your enemy will always lead to victory. There are not so many coincidences. Don't you want to know what they are going to do?"
Shen Zhuoxi knew Dunzhu's intention. No one could see Dunzhu's feelings for Jing Muling, but she had no idea what Duozha wanted to do.
As a man, Jing Muling had already instinctively sensed that Duozha was interested in Shen Zhuoxi.
However, he was also curious.
This must be the first time for Doza to meet Shen Zhuoxi. Shen Zhuoxi is beautiful and charming, but she is not a stunning beauty. Why did Doza pay all his attention to Shen Zhuoxi when they first met.
At the reception banquet, many wealthy people showed their favor to him, including several princesses. Moreover, Doza also knew that Shen Zhuoxi and he had a marriage granted by the Holy One, and that they would be married soon.
This is obviously not normal.
The moment Jing Muling was thinking, Doza smiled and said, "My lord, it's just one meal. Do you still have any doubts?"
Jing Muling had no expression on her face and walked in first, neither saying yes nor saying no.
Shen Zhuoxi followed closely behind, and upon seeing this, Doza led the others through the door.
Shen Wanwan walked in and sat down on the other side of Shen Zhuoxi. Shen Zhuoxi glanced at her and said nothing.
Shen Wanwan hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Our sisters and Zehuan came to see you this morning. We happened to meet Princess Dunzhu at Taoxi Tower. Princess Dunzhu was losing her temper for some reason."
"Qingqing and I had no choice but to coax Princess Dunzhu first. Princess Dunzhu said that she was not familiar with Sheng, so our sisters accompanied her to play. Unexpectedly, we met you again here."
Shen Zhuoxi smiled half-heartedly, glanced at Bai Shuang behind the others, and said, "What you do is up to you. There is no need to explain to me."
"Sister Wan is worried that the second sister will misunderstand." Shen Qingqing leaned a little closer and whispered: "We also found some news for the second sister, and we will tell you when we get back."
Shen Zhuoxi frowned slightly and said, "Sit back to your seat first. If there are other people around, don't behave yourself."
This scene fell into Dunzhu's eyes, and she sneered a little, and joked half-seriously: "After all, they are still sisters of the same race, and they started whispering close to each other after not seeing each other for a long time."
"Princess, we are curious about where the second sister has gone." Shen Qingqing explained with a smile: "The prince and the prince are here, so it is not allowed to speak loudly."
"Hmph." Dunzhu snorted coldly and said, "I thought you were reporting to your good sisters about what you and I did today."
Shen Qingqing didn't know how to answer the question, and turned her eyes to Shen Wanwan, hoping that she could come to the rescue.
Shen Wanwan was more calm than Shen Qingqing, and said with a smile: "Princess, you are worrying too much. Besides, there is nothing to reward for the trip."
Dunzhu glanced at her and then turned his gaze to Jing Muling. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
Seeing this, Doza smiled and smoothed things over and said, "Sisters are talking about something. I heard that the supply of snacks in Baihe Tower exceeds demand. It's a must-have. Let's try it first."
"Miss Shen Er and the prince are familiar with the cuisine of Baihelou, why don't you recommend some delicious food?"
After Duozha opened his mouth, Dunzhu did not continue to ask questions, but picked up the tea cup and drank in annoyance.
After finishing the meal, everyone tacitly remained silent.
And since Jing Muling couldn't see, Dunzhu's gaze was almost glued to him, and Shen Zhuoxi felt very uncomfortable looking at it.
While Shen Zhuoxi focused all his attention on Jing Muling and Dunzhu, Doza was also observing her without leaving any trace.
After finally putting down her chopsticks, Jing Muling felt a chill all over her body and asked Doza: "I wonder what the prince wants to tell me?"
Doza glanced at Dunzhu and Shen Zhuoxi and said: "In front of the prince, I will not talk in circles. The prince must also know the purpose of the Rongqiang people's visit. I want to make a deal with the prince."
"Deal?" Jing Muling paused, and her tone became a little more dismissive.
Doza's face darkened, and he said to Dunzhu: "You and the ladies of the Shen family go out for a walk first. There is a rouge shop on the street on the right."
Dunzhu stood up reluctantly, and Shen Wanwan and Shen Qingqing also prepared to leave.
Only Shen Zhuoxi sat there calmly and did not move.
"Second Miss?" Doza tentatively asked, "Are you going with us?"
"Whether she goes or not is up to her." Jing Muling interrupted Doza domineeringly and said, "Second Miss is about to become my king's concubine. If you have any questions, just say so."
