Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

When the manager of the Spring Breeze House saw that there was no movement from Wang Jiang Restaurant, she thought proudly that it seemed that they had no other options and their strength was inferior to him.

He noticed that it was getting late, and if he were to continue, he would lose today. He whispered to the two people outside.

"The Spring Breeze House's discount for today has already ended. Those who enter the restaurant later, return to their original price." After saying this, the two of them packed up their stuff and left.

A lot of people who did not know the truth went in, but when they paid the bill, they found out that they had taken a lot of money and argued a little, but because of face, they could only accept this loss. However, their impression of the Spring Breeze House was much worse.

Ruan Xiaonuan was completely unaware of this, she was currently comforting the indignant Little Zhao and the others.

"Alright, if they still use this method tomorrow, I definitely won't sit still and wait for death. It's very late, so there shouldn't be any customers coming. All of you should go back and rest. " Ruan Xiaonuan's words still had a huge impact on their hearts, and very soon, only Ruan Xiaonuan and Zi Juan were left in the main hall of the restaurant.

"Miss, the prince has come today. Are you going back?" Mo Yan finally asked when there were no outsiders present.

"Why are we returning it?" Even the prince started to beat up the young lady. What if he made a move again after returning? " Zi Juan said with righteous indignation.

Ruan Xiaonuan gratefully looked at her, and said to Mo Yan, "That's right, I can't go back. Right now, I have the Wang Jiang Restaurant, a safe place to stay, and I won't starve to death."

Amongst the three of them, Mo Yan was a little older. At this moment, only she felt that Ruan Xiaonuan's plan was inappropriate, but seeing that she had already made up his mind, there was no other way, so he could only sigh lightly and say, "Miss, I think that Your Highness must have wished for you to return."

Ruan Xiaonuan acted as if he did not hear her words, and said excitedly, "All of you should come over and help me take a look at today's profits. I only saw this morning's results, so I'm sure you've earned quite a bit in the afternoon."

Mo Yan could only shake his head at her, and started to seriously look at her.

In the palace, it was almost midnight. All the palaces were dark, only the Hall of Mental Cultivation was still brightly lit. Su Desheng saw that Gu Qingcheng was still lying on the table, handing out papers, and gently walked over and reminded him, "Your majesty, it's already late at night, I'm afraid the Noble Consort Queen is anxious for you."

Gu Qingcheng raised his head and said in shock, "It's already so late!" Only then did he get up and tidy up his clothes before heading to the Flying Feather Palace.

The Noble Consort Guan had been waiting for him since nightfall. Unexpectedly, she didn't see the emperor even after poison was administered late into the night, causing him to be secretly hurt. However, he only remembered her here once after a long time. She didn't want to give up so quickly, so the palace maid tried to persuade him several times, but he found that she was still sitting there wearing her cool clothes. As her heart slowly sank, she finally heard a voice from outside, "Her Majesty has arrived!"

Noble Consort Guan swept away her exhaustion and immediately stood up to welcome him. Just as she was about to cover Gu Qingcheng's hands with her own, she accidentally dodged her hand. She said coolly, "It's late at night. Go to sleep."

After he finished speaking, he actually closed his eyes. Noble Consort Guan looked at the figure lying on the bed in astonishment, unable to understand what was going on. However, she couldn't do what she wanted and could only lie down beside him.

She didn't close her eyes for the entire night. She didn't know when she was sleeping, but when she was half asleep, she heard the people beside her whispering to each other. She didn't take it to heart at first, but a familiar name came to her.

"Warm!"

Noble Consort Guan's heart sank. Other than that, there was also fear, fear that this matter would turn into a tragedy.

If he fell in love with a pure girl, she would have to give in to him in the end, in addition to being sour. However, why did he fall in love with his younger brother's woman? In an ordinary clan of 100 people, this was already an ugly matter, not to mention in an imperial family. Thinking about it here, the usually gentle Noble Consort Guan actually revealed a ruthless look in her eyes.

The night seemed to pass peacefully like this. When dawn of the second day arrived, it was as if all the pain and secrets had been suppressed to the deepest parts of his heart.

Wang Jiang Restaurant opened the door very early, because Ruan Xiaonuan requested that they must clean all the tables and chairs, and also sweep the floor clean, before the guests arrived.

When it was almost noon, people still bustled in. Spring Breeze House still used the same trick to attract customers. It was just that since there was no discount on Wang Jiang Restaurant today, he had changed it to 10% off.

However, Ruan Xiaonuan was not worried at all, because very early on, Xuan Er had already told her that she had already made up a dance. So she also followed suit and found two people with loud voices to shout outside, "Wang Jiang Restaurant is not only a delicious meal, you can also see the girls dancing."

Her voice was ethereal, and coupled with the sweet sound of the zither, it made one feel as if they were in paradise. At this moment, Xuan Er was also dancing with her veil on. Three different forms, completely fused together. It was as if fairies were playing under three months of age. Very soon, more and more people gathered here.

Very quickly, the Little Zhao gave everyone a small snack, and the people outside were no exception. Originally, they were still wandering around, but after taking the stack of snacks, they stepped into the Wang Jiang Restaurant with pleasure. Even if the price was higher than the Spring Breeze House, they would still find a place to enjoy themselves. There would be more fun and fun there, so of course they would go there.

After the song ended, many people still wanted to play another one. Ruan Xiaonuan timely came out and said, "Wang Jiang Restaurant's dancing will be irregular, maybe there will be another one in two or three days, maybe it will be tomorrow, so everyone, do not be anxious, if you want to see it, you can do it again."

Many people knew that this was her way of keeping customers, but they had no choice but to sigh. When she came back next time, they could only concentrate on tasting the food. As for those who did not see it, after listening to the vivid narratives of the others, every day, they would report to the Wang Jiang Restaurant, all for the sake of seeing song and dance.

After a few days, the name of the Wang Jiang Restaurant resounded throughout the entire capital, and its manager, Ruan Xiaonuan, was known by everyone.

She didn't care about any of this. The happiest thing in her life was holding onto the account book every day and looking at the increasing number. The corners of her mouth kept rising.

"Miss, it's time for you to teach them how to sing." Seeing her smiling face, Mo Yan couldn't help but give a white eye and remind her. Only then did Ruan Xiaonuan reluctantly put the account book down, but the happy smile on his face was still there.

Ruan Xiaonuan had given all that she knew to the good singers amongst them. Right now, she did not need to open her mouth, she only needed to count the money.

All the brothels in the capital had sent people to secretly learn their skills, however, the ethereal and long string of words were not something they could learn in a short period of time. Thus, over time, these unique songs could only be heard in Wang Jiang Restaurant.

As for the Spring Breeze House, although he had reduced the price again and again and even learned Ruan Xiaonuan's method, the number of guests were becoming fewer and fewer. There were even some people who would casually take extra taels of silver from customers in Spring Breeze House when word got out. Therefore, its current depression was similar to the former Cloud Returning Mansion. It was estimated that not long after, the Spring Breeze House would no longer exist.

"Girl, girl, there's a guest asking for a performance."

Little Zhao quickly ran over and said. Now that they had all learned these strange words, they did not feel that anything was amiss even after they got used to it.

Ruan Xiaonuan focused on planning, without even raising her head she said, "Let him wait another day, if he continues to cause trouble, then tell me about the rules of Wang Jiang Restaurant."

It took her a long time to learn the abacus. Every time, she would have to focus fully on it. She didn't want to be distracted by such a small matter. Moreover, in these few days, everyone in the capital knew about Wang Jiang Restaurant, so she did not lack these few people. Furthermore, according to her knowledge, there would still be many people who would appear here once more for the sake of the uniqueness of the Wang Jiang Restaurant.

"Lady, the Prince is here again!" However, just as she sent one out, Zi Juan shouted loudly again. She was completely unable to continue the calculation. The calculations she had made just now were all ruined as well. Ruan Xiaonuan was furious in her heart, throwing the abacus down, she roared, "Coming as you please, increasing the Wang Jiang Restaurant's income every day, don't you guys feel happy? and come to talk to me again. "

Zi Juan had probably never seen her this angry before, and said softly, "The Duke asked to see you by name."

Ruan Xiaonuan walked down the stairs in a flustered manner. When she saw his elegant white clothes, her anger could not help but rise. She directly snatched the wine cup away and said with a vile tone, "If you have anything to say, then say it quickly."

In the past few days, the Wang Jiang Restaurant had made a name for themselves, and there were naturally many people who were jealous in the dark, but no one dared to come and cause trouble. He still vividly remembered Qin De's incident on the first day. Furthermore, Prince Yu had come to the Wang Jiang Restaurant almost every day, so everyone knew that this was his man. Unless he was tired of living.

Ruan Xiaonuan felt a piercing gaze from all directions on her body. However, she also didn't want to invite him to the backyard. This place was full of people, so he definitely wouldn't force her to return to her mansion. Therefore, she could only endure the discomfort and quickly said, "We agreed that we would deliver the silver to the Royal Mansion at the end of the month. What other medicine do you have to say for yourself?"

Gu Junxiu's eyes revealed his innocence, his deep eyes were in a daze, he looked at her and said, "I didn't ask you to come over."

Ruan Xiaonuan squinted her eyes, suddenly she turned to Zi Juan and said coldly: "Aren't you being too idle?"

Zi Juan covered her mouth and looked at the innocent Gu Junxiu. She wanted to cry, but there were no tears. It was clearly a command from the king, and now she was denying it. They pitied her, a servant girl, and could only look at Ruan Xiaonuan in an aggrieved manner. However, under Gu Junxiu's warning, she did not even look at him with grievance.

Ruan Xiaonuan powerlessly looked at her and expressionlessly said to him, "Since it's a misunderstanding, then we won't disturb your highness."

"Since you're here, how about a few drinks with This King?" Gu Junxiu's voice was not loud, just loud enough for everyone to hear.

She could only sit down and decide not to talk and drink with her head covered. She was afraid that the people in the capital would find out that she had roared at the King of Hell's Prince Yu, and she wouldn't even know how to explain her relationship with the Duke Palace. Thinking of this, she felt a wave of annoyance and gulped down a few mouthfuls of water.

"Ruan Ruan sure has good alcohol tolerance." Gu Junxiu said in shock.

"Don't call me Nguyen." Ruan Xiaonuan treated this kind of strong alcohol as the osmanthus wine from that day. After drinking a few cups, her head was already starting to grow dizzy, but she still kept herself awake after patting her head, and said those words.

Gu Junxiu frowned, he did not expect his alcohol tolerance to be so low. Just a moment ago, when he saw her drinking, he thought that she was capable of drinking.

"Ruan Ruan, you are drunk. I will bring you back." Then he would come and help her.

Who knew that Ruan Xiaonuan would forcefully push his hand away and stutter, "I'm not drunk, so don't think you can get me drunk, and then bring me back to the Duke Palaces. Let me tell you, even if you bring me back, I will still sneak out. I have the Wang Jiang Restaurant now, so I don't need to rely on you. "

Gu Junxiu heard her unconscious words. It was kind of funny, but he felt sad at the same time. He gently said, "I will not force you to return to the Royal Mansion. I will wait for you to do what you want."

It was unknown if Ruan Xiaonuan heard his words, or not. With a bang, her head hit the table.

Gu Junxiu looked at her helplessly, then picked her up and walked towards the backyard familiarly. Everyone in the hall was shocked, their jaws dropping. They couldn't believe that this person was actually the Prince Yu that caused everyone to feel fear.

After placing Ruan Xiaonuan on the bed, Gu Junxiu carefully covered her face with his blanket. Seeing her blushing red due to the alcohol, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face. The doting look in his eyes was about to spill out, and there was no trace of coldness.

"Your Highness, what orders do you have for me?" Mo Yan walked in and asked.

"Go get a basin of water." Gu Junxiu's voice was very soft, he was afraid that he would wake up the people who were already asleep.

Inside the Duke Palaces, Chu Ying and Xiao Fan were drinking tea. Although the two of them were in the prince's mansion, they both knew that the prince didn't like them.

"There haven't been any movements from the Duke recently, so there's definitely no hope for Ruan Xiaonuan to return." Xiao Fan took the lead and said. They both remembered the packet of pills they hadn't used yet.

Chu Ying was also suspicious in her heart. If it was in the past, Gu Junxiu would have definitely brought him back. This time, it had been almost a month, yet there was still no movement. Could it be that he was really angry that time and planned to abandon Ruan Xiaonuan? However, her instincts told her that such a simple thing would not happen. She said cautiously, "We should be more careful. If that woman comes back, we won't have any chance."

Xiao Fan didn't mind, however. She knew the reason why Ruan Xiaonuan left the Duke Palaces. Although Gu Junxiu had sealed off the news at that time, Chu He had seen the whole thing. No matter how much a man liked that woman, he wouldn't allow her to have anything to do with other men.
