This restaurant in the south of the city is newly opened.
The shopkeeper used to be a traveling businessman, but now he has made enough money to open a restaurant, and he has some chefs recruited from all over the place. He claims that there is nothing that his restaurant cannot cook from all the major cuisines in the world.
Qin Rushuang had been thinking about Qin Fang's good things, but after hearing the shopkeeper's heroic words, she became curious for a moment.
“Seriously, can you cook any cuisine?”
"Of course!" the shopkeeper said confidently, "You only need to order, and I will do the rest!"
The shopkeeper didn't know Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun, but he knew Shen Xiaoyang.
He knew that Shen Xiaoyang was the Minister of Dali Temple, and he was a friend of the Minister of Dali Temple. How could he be an ordinary person? Naturally, he tried his best to entertain him.
Seeing how confident he was, Qin Rushuang said, "I want to eat crabs."
"They say crabs are eaten in September and October, but if you want to eat them in March and April, we have them too! And they are all plump!"
"No!"
Xie Xun and Shen Xiaoyang spoke at the same time.
Due to Xie Xun's face, Shen Xiaoyang nodded and signaled Xie Xun to speak first.
"Crabs are a cold thing. You are still pregnant, so don't eat them."
Shen Xiaoyang rarely agreed with Xie Xun, "That is, let's eat something special. When the child is born, he can eat whatever he wants."
After he finished speaking, he added, "When the child lands and your body is well nursed back to health, I will find you whatever crabs you want to eat."
Qin Rushuang shook her head: "I just want to eat it now."
It was rare for her to be willful, and Shen Xiaoyang was in trouble.
"My noble lord, both of you are right. You are still pregnant, so you should pay attention to your taboos!"
After saying that, he said to Shen Xiaoyang, "I didn't know that Mr. Shen already had a beloved wife! Mr. Shen is so considerate and always considers his wife. Mr. Shen is right. It's best not to eat crabs when you are pregnant. Even after the baby is born, you have to wait until the body has recovered before eating. When a woman gives birth to a baby, she has to go to hell!"
The shopkeeper actually misunderstood the relationship between several people and thought that Shen Xiaoyang was Qin Rushuang's husband!
The shopkeeper originally wanted to please these people when he said this, but as soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him did not dare to speak out.
For a moment, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The deputy general and Qingzhi looked hopeless.
Stop talking! Stop talking! If you say it again, people will die!
Seeing that everyone around him was silent, and a little maid next to him kept winking at him, the shopkeeper was shocked, could he have said something wrong?!
The first person to break the silence was Qin Rushuang.
She just smiled and said, "The shopkeeper has misunderstood. Mr. Shen is not my husband, but my brother."
The shopkeeper immediately realized that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly made up for it, "Oh! It's all because of the poor eyesight. It seems that Mr. Shen is really a good brother!"
After finishing speaking, he added: "If Madam's husband were present, he would definitely persuade Madam!"
Qingzhi:……
Qingzhi doesn't want to say anything now.
Why does such a good person have a mouth?!
Xie Xun finally couldn't help it anymore and said: "I am her husband."
The shopkeeper opened his mouth several times and finally swallowed what he wanted to say.
"It's my fault that I don't see Taishan! I told the kitchen to prepare the food first! If you guys have figured out what you want to eat, just tell me and it will be cooked for you right away!"
After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.
The shopkeeper was wondering as he walked.
I really don’t blame him for saying the wrong thing, it seems that the woman is closer to Master Shen!
and……
The man who claimed to be her husband stood far away, so he could guess that they were husband and wife!
After the shopkeeper left, Qin Rushuang saw that Xie Xun looked wrong, thinking that since he was outside, he should give Xie Xun some face, so he said to smooth things over: "Sit down quickly, I won't eat this crab."
If she dared to mention crab again, the two of them would probably fight on the spot!
Then a waiter came and read out the names of the dishes. Qin Rushuang picked a few dishes that she only heard the names of, but didn't taste the taste. They were all dishes from other places.
Finally, he asked Xie Xun: "Does the prince want to eat something?"
Xie Xun shook his head, "That's all."
I'm almost exhausted.
"What about big brother?"
"That's it. There are four of us. It's a waste if we order too much."
Shen Xiaoyang refused quickly and could hardly suppress the smile on his lips.
I'll be sure to send someone from the palace to reward the shopkeeper in a while!
He wanted to reward the shopkeeper now, but he was just afraid that Xie Xun would fight him.
Qin Rushuang turned around and asked the deputy general and Qingzhi, "Where are you two?"
The two of them shook their heads together.
How dare they order food now? They just hope they are lucky to get out of this restaurant alive today!
After a meal, Xie Xun ate so much that he didn’t know how to taste it.
Because he found that after being together for so long, he didn't know what Qin Rushuang liked to eat.
Watching the two of them eating and chatting with each other in a familiar manner, they were having a great time.
Qin Rushuang also asked: "Your Majesty, you don't mind. If we eat outside, we won't sleep in silence. We will eat without talking and sleep without talking."
Xie Xun nodded and said nothing.
Qin Rushuang and Shen Xiaoyang were chatting.
Shen Xiaoyang could always get Qin Rushuang's favorite dishes very naturally, and Qin Rushuang would persuade Shen Xiaoyang to drink less than two drinks from time to time.
He was like a non-existent shadow between them.
This meal was eaten very quickly for Qin Rushuang and Shen Xiaoyang;
For Xie Xun, it was indeed an extremely long time.
For the lieutenant general and Qingzhi, this meal really made them feel like they were sitting on pins and needles.
Qingzhi has never hoped so much that the princess can take her as a human being and let her do the dishes!
But the princess asked her to sit down and eat together.
He was sitting at the table. Although there was a lieutenant between him, half of his body could already feel frozen by the coldness on the prince's body.
Not to mention the deputy general. He felt exhausted after the meal, even more tired than after a day of training in the military camp.
Didn't Qin Rushuang feel something strange about Xie Xun?
Of course she felt it.
But she didn't want to say anything, didn't want to persuade, let alone explain.
Because between her and Shen Xiaoyang, she had a clear conscience.
When leaving the restaurant, Shen Xiaoyang said goodbye to Qin Rushuang: "Don't be anxious about that matter. I'll find someone to inform you when it's done."
Qin Rushuang nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
Seeing the two of them saying goodbye without anyone else, after Shen Xiaoyang left, Xie Xunying's temper, which he had endured for a day, finally exploded.
"Is there anything that other men can do for you but I can't?"
Qin Rushuang was a little surprised. She didn't expect Xie Xun to speak so straightforwardly outside.
"It's just some private matters, and Mr. Shen and I are innocent, so it's convenient for him. If the prince thinks it's inappropriate, I can handle it myself."
After hearing this explanation, Xie Xun became even more angry. At the same time, an indescribable feeling of powerlessness arose in his heart.
Why does Qin Rushuang think of Shen Xiaoyang instead of herself when something happens?
Even if Shen Xiaoyang can't do it, the second choice is to do it by herself. Has she never thought of relying on her husband?
"Why do you do it yourself instead of letting me do it for you? After all, I am...your husband."
"...I thought the prince and I were just a couple on the surface."
This sentence left Xie Xun speechless.
Yes, they are a couple on the surface.
Everything is focused on rules and etiquette, and everything is just to maintain a good appearance on the surface.
What he had always dreamed of, what he had always wanted to maintain, the relationship between him and Qin Rushuang suddenly made him feel extremely irritable for some reason.
He wants to say that's not the case, but that's not what he thinks.
But he couldn't say it.
Because at the beginning, those who wanted to prevent the development of their relationship, those who wanted to abide by the rules and avoid violating the river...
