After having a long conversation with Yang Ruoqing, both Sister Hua and Yun Niang seemed to have taken a reassurance.

Sister Hua said: "With Miss Qing'er's words, I feel relieved that Yun Niang and the sisters in Xiangyulou will be able to get away with this crime."

"Don't worry, Miss Qing'er, we will strictly abide by your instructions. During this period, we will keep a low profile and recharge our batteries."

"When the time is right, you only need to give a call and we will all come to obey your orders."

Yang Ruoqing nodded with satisfaction: "That's great!"

Sister Hua stood up and said, "If Miss Qing'er doesn't have any other instructions, I will go back first."

Yun Niang supported Sister Hua and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Miss Qing'er, I..."

"Now that Sister Hua has come out, you sisters will naturally reunite." Yang Ruoqing interrupted Yun Niang.

"You go with Sister Hua. If anything happens, I will send someone to find you." She said.

Sister Hua and Yun Niang bowed to Yang Ruoqing, and the two sisters helped them out of the house.

Here, Yang Ruoqing sat back, picked up the tea at hand and took a sip.

The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.

Xiangyu Tower was just her first step in the capital.

…

Mr. Zhang came back from the construction site of the Imperial Mausoleum. He asked Mu Zichuan to come over that night and summoned Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing.

"My mentor has booked a private room in a restaurant in front and is waiting for you two."

On the carriage passing by, Mu Zichuan said to Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing.

"In addition to my mentor, there is another big shot coming tonight..."

"Wait a moment!"

Yang Ruoqing interrupted Mu Zichuan.

"Let me guess who that big shot is, um... is he the prince's student of Master Zhang?" she asked.

Mu Zichuan smiled slightly.

"Qing'er is really smart. Yes, he is His Highness the Second Prince." He said.

Yang Ruoqing asked again: "What is the second prince's name? What is his relationship with Qi Xingyun like?"

Mu Zichuan said: "The second prince's name is Qi Xingchen. His Highness Prince Chen and His Highness Prince Yun are at odds with each other."

"Last time when the houses in our area were shaken, the reason why the two imperial envoys had different opinions was because they belonged to the two princes respectively," he said.

Yang Ruoqing suddenly realized.

No need to guess, I went to the restaurant for a banquet tonight, and the second prince also came.

Not surprisingly, he also wanted to win over Luo Fengtang.

It is only natural that the two princes win over each other.

Why pinch?

Because when we were relieving floods last time, the strategies she proposed to control the floods were approved by Master Zhang and Prince Chen.

The other Master Xu, as well as King Yun behind Master Xu, rejected it.

The rejection is not because the flood control strategy is bad.

It is precisely because the strategy is good and feasible that they want to reject it.

I would rather let the people suffer from floods than let my competitors make contributions and contribute to the future battle for the crown prince.

Why!

Yang Ruoqing shook her head secretly, she really didn't want to get involved in the fight between these princes.

However, many things seem to be driven by a big hand of fate behind the scenes, and there is always something that cannot be controlled by one's own control.

…

In an elegant private room on the third floor of the restaurant, Yang Ruoqing finally met Master Zhang, the bachelor who admired Mu Zichuan.

I also saw His Highness Prince Chen behind Mr. Zhang.

She was too lazy to describe Mr. Zhang's face and appearance.

He looks like he is in his early fifties, and like countless other officials, he has put on weight, has a fat belly, and his temples are a little gray.

However, he is very energetic and his eyes are shining with wisdom.

Beside him, there was a tall, thin, middle-aged man.

He is estimated to be in his early thirties.

The middle-aged man has a good appearance and his facial features are somewhat similar to Qi Xingyun, but he is far less handsome than Qi Xingyun.

Yang Ruoqing guessed that this person must be the second prince Qi Xingchen.

Seeing Mu Zichuan leading Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang in, Qi Xingchen and Mr. Zhang actually stood up.

Qi Xingchen walked towards this side with a cheerful smile on his face.

"These two must be General Luo and Madam, right? We have known each other for a long time, and now we are able to meet each other. Xingchen is extremely honored!"

When Qi Xingchen opened his mouth, his words did not have the condescending feeling of a prince at all.

Instead, it feels like a big brother from the next village.

A bit friendly.

Yang Ruoqing was surprised by her own thoughts.

But she quickly suppressed this strange feeling, and together with Luo Fengtang, she greeted Qi Xingchen and Master Zhang generously.

There was no one around, so the five of them sat down around the table.

Then, sumptuous and exquisite dishes were served one after another.

Qi Xingchen said to Luo Fengtang: "Some time ago, my mentor and I were sent to supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum. I couldn't come to entertain you two. It was disrespectful and I'm really ashamed."

"I will punish myself for this first glass of wine!"

After saying that, Qi Xingchen picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing looked at each other, and they both saw the same admiration in each other's eyes.

Luo Fengtang also picked up the wine glass in front of him: "His Royal Highness Chen is so happy. Fengtang would like to offer a drink to His Highness. Let's do it first as a token of respect!"

We toasted back and forth, and soon we got closer to each other.

After three rounds of drinking, Qi Xingchen patted Luo Fengtang on the shoulder: "We are not discussing business at the party tonight!"

"I came here to see you simply because I wanted to get to know you and your wife."

"Disaster relief is effective and the strategy is novel."

"When the plague swept through, it was you and your wife who stepped forward and developed effective medicine to fight the plague, saving countless people!"

"The king admires you for being considerate and responsible for the people."

"It is my honor to be able to sit at the same wine table and drink with you two!"

"Come on, keep drinking..."

In this way, the dinner lasted for nearly two hours.

King Chen Qi Xingchen and Luo Fengtang actually felt like they felt like old friends at first sight.

"General Luo, for some reason, when I saw you, I felt a sense of intimacy, as if..."

"It seems like you are a long-lost friend of mine, no. I should say you are a relative..."

At the end, Qi Xingchen held Luo Fengtang's shoulders and his tongue was a little curled up when he spoke.

Luo Fengtang also laughed.

"King Chen's love is so great that I will never be able to bear it."

"Hi!" Qi Xingchen waved his hand: "I told you that we won't talk about official business tonight, and we won't talk about official titles. In this elegant room, there are only teachers, students, senior fellow apprentices..."

A night banquet, where the guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

On the carriage back, Yang Ruoqing looked at Luo Fengtang who was still not drunk even after drinking so much wine.

"My drinking capacity is really high today. I'm not drunk even after drinking so much. It's amazing!" she said.

Luo Fengtang smiled and said: "A thousand cups is too little when you meet a close friend. I am very happy tonight."

Yang Ruoqing said: "Because of His Highness King Chen?"

Luo Fengtang nodded.

"It's strange to say that this is my first time seeing Prince Chen, but I feel an indescribable feeling of intimacy!"
