After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 264 He offended me

When Qin Xuan was mentioned, the eldest princess' face froze and she said angrily: "Why are you mentioning him?"

Seeing that she seemed to reject Qin Xuan, Qiao Jingjing couldn't help but say good things for him, "Prince Qin has noble character and is a very good person."

The eldest princess sneered, "Are you familiar with him?"

Qiao Jingjing shook her head, "It doesn't count, but I have met him a few times and I think he is a very nice person."

The eldest princess gave her a strange look, "You are a married woman."

Qiao Jingjing came over understandingly, looking stunned, "Where did you think you were?"

The eldest princess snorted coldly, "Then don't mention this unlucky person again."

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she felt a little unhappy and couldn't help but said: "Eldest Princess, don't say that to Prince Qin, he is not a bad person."

The eldest princess sneered, "You also said that you have no interest in him. You have no interest in him. How would you defend him like this?"

"I treat him as a friend, don't I? Do I have to have dirty thoughts?" Qiao Jingjing frowned.

The eldest princess laughed angrily, "Are you saying that I have dirty ideas?"

"I didn't say that." Qiao Jingjing denied.

The eldest princess was silent.

After a moment, she said: "Qin Xuan is really as good as you say?"

Qiao Jingjing paused and said: "Speaking of which, the eldest princess should know his talents better than me. He is similar in age to the emperor and grew up together. The eldest princess must have seen him often."

The eldest princess felt a little uncomfortable, "Yes, I see him often, but he is two years younger than me. In my eyes, he is just like the emperor's younger brother. I didn't expect that he was so disrespectful last time."

"He didn't mean it. He was drugged and couldn't help himself. If you want to blame him, you have to blame the person who drugged him behind the scenes." Qiao Jingjing said urgently.

"He couldn't help himself, but he offended me, should I forgive him?" the eldest princess said displeased.

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "The eldest princess is not wrong. I can actually understand your mood."

The eldest princess felt a little more comfortable, "Then you just spoke for him."

Qiao Jingjing didn't know why, but she just couldn't listen to others talking about Qin Xuan like that.

But it is true that the eldest princess was offended by Qin Xuan, even if he could not help himself.

Putting herself in his shoes, she might also hate Qin Xuan.

Thinking of this, she took the eldest princess's hand with some shame and said sincerely: "It's my fault for making His Highness displeased. I'll treat you to a meal, okay?"

The eldest princess had a little smile on her face, "Yeah."

Qiao Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief.

The eldest princess is actually very easy to coax.

"Where do you want to invite me to dinner?" the eldest princess asked.

"Let's go to Zuixianlou. I heard that Zuixianlou has launched a new dish. Let's go and try it." Qiao Jingjing said.

"Okay." The eldest princess nodded and ordered Lu Jing outside to go to Zuixian Tower.

When only a few people arrived, the Zuixian Tower was already full and all seats were occupied.

Qiao Jingjing was a little dumbfounded.

The business in Zuixian Tower is also very good.

"There are no seats in the lobby downstairs?" Qiao Jingjing asked Manager Chen unwillingly.

Manager Chen always felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before. However, her face was still covered with a scarf. He wanted to look at her more, but he couldn't, but the eyes that were exposed, he The more I look at it, the more familiar it becomes.

He suppressed the doubts in his heart and said apologetically: "Madam, I'm sorry, as you can see, all the seats are full, but if you are willing to wait, you can wait, but there are already many guests lined up in front, I'm afraid it will take a while Wait a long time."

Qiao Jingjing herself had no problem, but how could she make the eldest princess wait?

So, she coughed lightly and changed her identity, "My husband has a good relationship with Mr. Xiahou. Do you think it would be convenient for you to make a private room for me?"

Most people don't know that the owner behind Zuixian Tower is Xia Houxi.

Therefore, when Qiao Jingjing told Xiahou Xi, Manager Chen's attitude became cautious, "I wonder which house the madam is from?" "The house of the Minister of Official Affairs." Qiao Jingjing lowered her voice.

Manager Chen was startled and quickly looked her over.

Unfortunately, in order to avoid trouble, Qiao Jingjing tied a handkerchief on her face when she got off the carriage, so no matter how hard Manager Chen looked, he couldn't see anything.

However, since the other party moved out the official minister, he naturally did not dare to neglect it.

But it was impossible for him to just believe her words. After all, he had seen too many people who fish in troubled waters.

"Madam, my young master happens to be having dinner in the building. Please wait a moment while I go to ask for your instructions."

Qiao Jingjing understood what he meant and didn't embarrass him, "Then go quickly."

Manager Chen was very surprised when he saw that she was not panicking at all. Could it be that this was really Lu Shangshu's wife?
At that moment, Manager Chen did not dare to delay and hurriedly went upstairs.

Qiao Jingjing didn't wait too long. After a while, Manager Chen returned, followed by a person, Xia Houxi.

Seeing him, Qiao Jingjing was the first to say hello, "Mr. Xiahou."

When Xia Houxi heard the voice, he was stunned for a moment, and looked at her with surprise on his face, "It's really my sister-in-law."

After listening to Manager Chen's report just now, he originally thought it was someone impersonating him.

After all, the business of Zuixian Restaurant has been booming recently. With a dish of boiled fish, it has become popular all over the capital. Zuixian Restaurant is full every day, and the reservations have been postponed to next month.

Therefore, some people who have not made reservations in advance and want to eat fish often pretend to be their identities to build relationships.

"What gust of wind is blowing today that makes Mrs. Sister-in-law come to the shop?" Xia Houxi was surprised, and a smile appeared on his handsome face.

"I heard that the fish in your Zuixian Restaurant is very delicious. I came here all the way. I never thought that there would be no more seats." Qiao Jingjing said with regret in her tone.

Hearing this, Xia Houxi stopped smiling and said sternly: "Others may not have a seat, but how could Mrs. Sister-in-law not have one? Manager Chen, please quickly give the private room on the third floor to Mrs. Sister-in-law. In addition, give priority to serving dishes to Mrs. Sister-in-law."

Manager Chen was surprised when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, the other party was actually Lu Shangshu’s wife.

At that moment, he did not dare to neglect any more and hurriedly made arrangements.

"Madam, I will take you upstairs." Xia Houxi said.

"Wait a minute, I brought a friend with me." Qiao Jingjing said, turned and walked out.

After a while, she came in with the eldest princess.

When Xia Houxi saw this, his eyebrows skipped a beat and he stepped forward to salute, "I've seen..."

"Okay Xia Houxi, let's go upstairs first." The eldest princess interrupted him.

"Yes." Xia Houxi said nothing.

Manager Chen suddenly remembered something and reminded him: "Sir, Prince Qin came just now. Since there was no place, I made my own decision and arranged for him to go to the third floor as well."

The third floor is Xia Houxi's private area and is generally not open to the public. Only very important guests or Xia Houxi's friends are eligible to be invited to dine on the third floor.

Hearing this, Xia Houxi frowned and asked, "Is he alone?"

"Yes, Prince Qin also ordered a lot of wine." Manager Chen replied.

Xia Houxi said nothing more, "It's okay, you can continue to make arrangements."

"Yes." Manager Chen felt relieved.

"You two, please." Xia Houxi turned to the eldest princess and Qiao Jingjing and said.

Both of them heard their conversation just now.

The eldest princess frowned, but Qiao Jingjing was a little surprised. Qin Xuan was actually here?

But thinking of the eldest princess's attitude towards Qin Xuan, she thought about it and asked, "Do you still want to go up?"

The eldest princess doesn't want to see Qin Xuan, but she won't avoid him because of anyone. If she wants to avoid him, he will avoid him.

Thinking about it, she said calmly: "Of course."
