Mu Qingchen looked at Lu Jin with gloating: "Have you been discovered? Who wants you to be so arrogant and dare to get under her nose?"
Lu Jin watched from the window as An Shuyao entered the restaurant, probably because he was suspicious and wanted to confirm it.
Lu Jin gave the mask to Mu Qingchen. Fortunately, Mu Qingchen's figure was almost the same as his: "Hold it for me. Once she proves it's not me, she won't be suspicious again."
Mu Qingchen reluctantly took the mask and put it on, then tied it with a black cloak. For a moment, he looked a bit like Lu Jin.
The door of their box was not closed. When An Shuyao came up, he saw the figure he had just seen sitting at the table drinking. When he got closer, the familiar feeling disappeared instantly. He looked somewhat similar to Lu Jin, but he was not Lu Jin.
The person inside happened to raise his head to look at her, and his voice was a little cold: "Girl, what's the matter?"
An Shuyao shook his head politely: "Sorry, you look a bit like an old friend of mine, so I came here to confirm."
Mu Qingchen curled her lips slightly: "Young ladies are here, do you want to come in and have a drink?"
After he finished speaking, he received a cold look from Lu Jin behind the screen. He looked at An Shuyao with interest like a normal person.
An Shuyao shook his head and declined: "Thank you, Master, for the invitation. I will take my leave now."
After An Shuyao left, Chui Xue appeared and closed the door. Lu Jin walked out: "She can't drink."
Mu Qingchen raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "How do you know? Have you ever seen her drinking?"
Lu Jin shook his head: "She didn't even drink, she said she would pour a glass of it herself."
"Tch." Mu Qingchen poured herself another glass: "Maybe she lied to you. Don't you know how to test it in private? Why are you so honest?"
Drunk An Shuyao?
Lu Jin rubbed it lightly with his fingers. He had never seen what it was like. He could coax An Shuyao to have a drink in the future.
When An Shuyao returned to the private room, Song Zhenzhen asked, "Sister Shuyao, what's going on? Are you so anxious?"
An Shuyao shook his head: "It's okay, I saw it wrong."
Suddenly a luxurious float drove in from below. There were at least twenty maids on both sides of the float. They lined up in a long row and it was very spectacular.
The float stopped at a restaurant. Immediately, a servant carried a red carpet and spread it on the ground. There were also servants holding flower baskets and spreading flower petals on the red carpet.
The people below stood in two rows and looked at the woman wearing red clothes with gold threads who got off the car with fiery expressions.
Her hair was tied high, with luxurious jewelry on it, making her look very wealthy.
She raised her head slightly and looked at the people on both sides.
Someone took the lead and knelt down: "Princess Yingning! Princess Yingning!"
There was almost a response. The pomp was bigger than the emperor's trip. Jian Yingning looked at the people kneeling around him, stepped on the red carpet and walked out of an exquisitely decorated restaurant.
Song Zhenzhen was stunned when she saw it: "Oh my god, Princess Ying Ning actually came to Tianyuan City!"
"Princess Yingning?"
Seeing that An Shuyao didn't know, Song Zhenzhen quickly explained to her: "Princess Yingning is the daughter of the King of Xizhou. She should have been the princess, but the King of Xizhou felt that the title of princess was not worthy of his daughter, so he ordered An Shuyao to
The people of the state can only call her princess."
"Sister Shuyao, you must keep your head down when you meet her. I heard that Princess Yingning hates people who are more beautiful than her. Once she finds out that she is waiting for that woman, she will be disfigured. Moreover, she is very arrogant and domineering, and she looks down on the poor and humble.
If the common people feel that they have stained her eyes, she will directly execute this person in this case."
"The most important thing is that her words are like an imperial decree. No matter whether it is right or wrong, we just follow it."
An Shuyao just frowned slightly when he heard this. This behavior was simply more tyrant than a tyrant.
"Princess Yingning!!!"
A voice echoed throughout Qinglong Street.
A man was holding a human-shaped ice sculpture at the bottom of the restaurant. His red eyes were looking eagerly at the private room on the top floor.
About ten breaths later, the window of the luxury box on the top floor opened, and Jian Yingning's beautiful face was revealed. She looked at the man below with disdain.
When the man saw that Jian Yingning had really heard his call, he became emotional and said, "Princess Yingning, after the grassroots heard that you came to Tianyuan City yesterday, they carved a human-shaped ice statue for you overnight. Take a look, are you satisfied?"
Not to mention the lifelike ice sculpture, Jian Yingning smiled slowly: "Wait until I come down."
The man became even more excited. After a while, a red carpet was rolled out in front of the ice statue, and Jian Yingning, wearing gold deerskin boots, came slowly.
The ice seemed to be smiling, carved in her likeness, and her smiling face gradually became quieter. In front of everyone, she kicked the ice sculpture to the ground and broke it into several large pieces.
"You are so bold, you dare to carve this princess so ugly without permission. Someone chops off her hands and freezes her into an ice sculpture. What's the point of the carving? Isn't the real person more interesting?"
The man originally wanted to please Jian Yingning, so he might be happy to give him some money, but he didn't expect that this time he would directly pay for it with his life.
He shouted in horror: "Princess, please spare your life, Princess, spare your life, the common people will never dare to do it again, Princess, please spare your life!"
Jian Yingning frowned in disgust: "Cut off his tongue too. It will make my princess' ears hurt due to the noise."
An Shuyao watched the scene upstairs. Song Zhenzhen was scared to death. She closed the window with trembling hands. The man's shrill screams came from outside. Song Zhenzhen covered her ears in fear. She was about to cry: "It's so scary.
,Fortunately we didn’t meet her."
An Shuyao clenched his hands slightly: "Can City Lord Mu not be able to control this situation?"
Song Zhenzhen was about to cry but had no tears: "Why do you care? Since the state leader disappeared, the king of Xizhou has the final say in Anzhou, not to mention that the king of Xizhou only has a daughter, Princess Yingning, who is afraid of breaking her if she holds it in his hands.
If you hold it in your mouth for fear of melting, no one in Anzhou will dare to interfere with Princess Ying Ning's business."
Anzhou is still under the jurisdiction of Dasheng, but there are vassal kings everywhere. They only need to pay tribute every year, and Shengjing will not care about the affairs of other areas.
It’s no wonder that like the Tu Emperor, no one can take care of this at all.
Song Zhenzhen's eyes turned red with fear: "I heard from my father last night that the state leader seems to be coming back. If the state leader comes back, King Xizhou will not dare to be so presumptuous anymore, and Princess Yingning will have to restrain herself a bit."
She clasped her hands together and said: "Amitabha, please pray that the state leader will come back soon, otherwise the people of Anzhou will not be able to live anymore."
An Shuyao took a deep breath: "What is the name of the state leader?"
Song Zhenzhen shook her head, and she quietly opened the window to take a look. In addition to broken ice, there was a pool of blood on that place, and both the man and Jian Yinning were gone.
"I don't know the name of the state leader. I only know that people in Anzhou call him state leader. I have never seen him. The last time the state leader appeared was three years ago."
