A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 752: Chongming God of Wealth
Because the shop owner recognized King Ande, when he saw his handsome face from afar, he immediately bowed and came over with a very attentive look on his face.

The middle-aged shopkeeper looked at the two men and two women in front of him, and recognized the identity of the man in the cross-collared red shirt from the ghost mask on his waist. He did not dare to neglect him and invited them to the innermost table.

It is said to be secluded so as not to attract attention.

The private room is very spacious, with a square table and long benches on both sides.

Gao Changgong had no intention of going out to negotiate, so he sat directly in the innermost seat, and asked Yuan Wuyou to sit outside him. Gao Yanzong took the opportunity to sit at the outermost seat.

As soon as I sat down, the situation was enough to explain the problem.

Three people were squeezed on a bench. Yuan Wuyou was flanked by the Gao brothers, while his cousin Guanqi was sitting alone on a bench opposite him.

But Zheng Guanqi, a noble lady from an aristocratic family, was very well-mannered. She calmly found the waiter in the store, brought the menu and asked Yuan Wuyou what she liked to eat. After she said she didn't know and asked him to tell her the signature dishes, cousin Guanqi started to order food and wine on her own.

I also didn’t forget to order a few pancakes, which were the staple food that the Gao brothers liked.

Yuan Wuyou guessed that Zheng Guanqi was being too attentive to her for no reason and was definitely trying to provoke her by bringing up the past events between her and the Gao brothers. Wasn't it simply that she knew the two brothers well in the past?

She was mentally prepared.

But when the time comes, there is still lack of preparation.

Even though Gao Yanzong was open and honest from the beginning, sticking to Yuan Wuyou in front of his brothers, serving her food and giving her pancakes, she was still unhappy because Zheng Guanqi recounted how close Gao Yanzong was to her when they were caught in the rain together with the two brothers in Yecheng.

The main reason was that Zheng Guanqi was too aggressive. He kept calling her "cousin" with a smile, but he even said that he knew there was a birthmark on his left buttock.

Gao Yanzong, who was sitting outside her and was chattering just now, became quiet in an instant. He had a handsome baby face and brown peach eyes, staring at her with fear and worry.

Yuan Wuyou was a little jealous and more disappointed at this moment.

She couldn't choose between leaving the table in jealousy or staying there in frustration.

Seeing his brother being put in the center of the storm, Gao Changgong felt so guilty that he could not speak. He only looked carefully at the girl with ponytail who was eating silently beside him, and he decisively raised his hand to stop him.

"That's enough! My cousin knows the relationship between my fifth brother and her, why is she still talking about these old things? If you knew you invited them to the restaurant for this, I would never let them come."

Gao Changgong, the big brother who won the hearts of everyone at the table the moment he sat down, was naturally intimidating when he spoke.

Seeing that he dared to come out and scold him, Zheng Guanqi immediately turned his gun around and looked at him affectionately. He also talked about how much he liked Gao Changgong, and he had liked him since he was a child.

She had lived in his Lanling Palace in Yecheng, slept in his room, worn his clothes, eaten his family's meals... She had even slept on his shoulder when they were sharing hardships.

Gao Changgong, who was standing by, saw that the girl sitting next to him had a darker look on her face and stopped talking, so he hurriedly stopped Zheng Guanqi. Yuan Wuyou bit his back teeth and forced a smile:
"Let her continue!"

Hearing this, Zheng Guanqi suddenly pulled out a folding fan made of silver steel from his sleeve, and gently fanned his face with it half covered, revealing only a pair of amorous and cunning peach blossom eyes.

"Since my cousin likes to hear it, I have more true stories."

Zheng Guanqi said so much and Gao Changgong did not refute it, so it must be true.

Gao Yanzong couldn't stand it anymore, so he interrupted and tried to stop them. He slammed the table, stood up, and was about to pull Yuan Wuyou away.

My cousin suddenly raised her folding fan and patted the black-clad girl sitting opposite her in the air, smiling and admonishing,
"So, you can't conquer someone older than you. Because his youth has already been promised to someone else, and his best years have already been spent with someone else."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zheng Guanqi's previous ill-intentioned provocation was immediately chopped into pieces.

The boasting that my cousin had just said sounded like a provocation, but now with this sentence, it sounded more like a complaint and an admonition. Yuan Wuyou suddenly felt that the man she had just decided to marry had already become someone else's husband.

Neither of these brothers belonged to her, and she became a joke.

She felt so upset that she didn't know who to blame.

Just then, there was a sudden commotion outside!
Yuan Wuyou tilted his head and pricked up his ears to listen, and heard the guests at the table in front of him talking about a bespectacled man in strange clothes coming.

She couldn't suppress her curiosity and wanted to find an excuse, so she pushed Gao Yanzong, who was sitting to the outside of her, and made the excuse that she was drunk and wanted to go out for some fresh air.

Zheng Guanqi said jokingly, "You're drunk after only drinking half a cup? You want to watch the fun, right?"

Yuan Wuyou nodded and admitted it generously.

Gao Yanzong had no reason to stop them, so he had to get up and walk out to let the girl who was sandwiched between the two brothers come out.

As a result, when Yuan Wuyou went out, he met Chongming and his servant. Both of them wore black iron Nuo masks, revealing a pair of double pupils with four pupils.

He was still wearing the same shiny black satin shirt he had worn in the evening. It was cut to fit his body perfectly, highlighting his broad shoulders and narrow waist. His long legs opened and closed as he moved, as if he was strolling in the garden.

Yuan Wuyou was quite surprised to meet him here. "How did you get into the city? Oh, right... are you here to see King Ande?"

The phoenix eyes under Chongming Nuo mask slightly raised, and he said with a click of the tongue: "I heard that Qi State is celebrating the victory of the queen in the inn, why is Your Highness here?"

Yuan Wuyou said: "A friend invited me."

"Your Highness, are you alone? Without any guards?"

As he said this, Chongming looked back at the iron plate behind him.
"I happen to be alone. Tieban, please go out for a walk."

“……” Tieban was dumbfounded, but said nothing and turned around and walked out.

Chongming immediately ran towards her, "Your Highness came out with Prince Ande, right? Which table are they at?"

"Are you looking for him?"

"I heard that King Ande was visiting our store. I felt honored by your presence. Naturally, I have to go and pay you a visit."

When the man mentioned King Ande, the Qi soldiers at the next table all poked their heads out from the compartment.

Yuan Wuyou hurriedly stood beside him to block him.

"You seem to be well-informed, but with your status, you came to a place where soldiers gather for dinner and wore such a conspicuous Nuo mask. Aren't you afraid of being arrested by the soldiers?"

The man looked arrogant, "Then how dare you come?"

"It is said that those who can open restaurants in Bowang City have to pay tribute to the border generals of various countries... after paying the protection fee."

Chongming said calmly, "Since I have paid the protection fee, why would they arrest me, the God of Wealth?"

Yuan Wuyou was stunned. "Ah? This store isn't yours too, is it?"

The man smiled with his pupils in his eyes. "Surprising? Come on, take me to your table."

Since he came to find Gao Yanzong, Yuan Wuyou had no reason to refuse and had to lead the way.
