Hong Yu's third brother opened a famous restaurant in Suzhou and Hangzhou that provided morning tea. Tang Yue asked Ying to have morning tea with the king, so that it would not delay his ancestor worship.
King Ying wrote back to her that night, saying that he would attend the appointment and thanked her for the invitation.
Hong Yu was very happy, "What I said is right, King Ying likes you!"
The little maid beside her was on tenterhooks all night. She was the one who helped deliver the letter, and she was also the one who got it back and answered it. She was careful along the way, for fear that someone would discover that the young lady was having a secret affair with a man other than her fiancé.
That man was still the eldest prince of the dynasty, His Highness Prince Ying, and the wrong thing the young lady did was even more serious.
She felt that it was Hong Yu who had bad intentions and taught the young lady to do bad things, "Miss, you shouldn't do this."
Tang Yue knew what she was worried about and comforted her, "Nothing. Tomorrow, apart from me and King Ying, there will be Sister Hong and her brother. The excuse I made is to introduce the world's richest businessman to King Ying, so no one will doubt it."
Although the status of slaves and concubines in the Great Shang Dynasty was low, the restrictions on women's behavior were not serious, and her behavior was not excessive.
Hong Yu's third brother's restaurant is called Hongfu Restaurant, which is quite festive. It is at the junction of the bustling city and secluded residential houses. Regular customers come here every day, and the business is pretty good.
Tang Yue and Hong Yu came in the Liang family's carriage, and Hong Yu's third brother was already waiting for them at the door.
He cupped his fists and introduced himself to Tang Yue, "I'm Hongyi, thank you Miss Jin for taking care of my sister. I will be the host today and treat Miss Jin and Prince Ying to taste Hongfulou's specialty dishes."
Tang Yue returned the gift, "Thank you so much, Mr. Hong, for your hospitality. It's a blessing for me to know Sister Hong."
Hongyi invited them in, "Prince Ying is already waiting inside."
Hong Yu was surprised, "It's not the agreed time yet. I thought we were the ones who came first."
Hong Yi smiled and said, "I guess King Ying is interested."
The two girls followed the owner of the restaurant directly to the best upper room. The environment inside was elegant, with a small landscape and waterscape placed indoors, and there were goldfish swimming leisurely in the pool.
Tang Yue praised: "Young Master Hong has good taste, and the decoration here is elegant and unique."
Hongyi smiled and replied: "I just made some comments. It's because the craftsmen did a good job."
This upper room is divided into two rooms, the inner and outer rooms, separated by a white jade screen in the middle. The outer room is used as a sobering and resting place, and the inner room is a place for banquets.
King Ying walked out of the inner room and said, "Afu, thank you for coming here so early in the morning."
Tang Yue shivered, why did he use such an affectionate name?
"Prince Ying has so many things to do, and yet he still waits for me here, I really feel guilty."
King Ying smiled, overwhelming all sentient beings, "This is what I should do, how can I let Afu wait for me?"
Tang Yue was almost dazzled. Is this Brother Ji who is determined to show his charm to a woman?
It was so terrible that she couldn't bear it anymore.
Hong Yu covered her mouth and smiled: "Everyone, stop standing here, let's go in and chat."
King Ying had the highest status and sat on the upper seat. Hongyu asked Tang Yue to sit next to her, and then sat down next to Tang Yue.
Hongyi picked up a glass of wine first, "Originally it's not appropriate to drink alcohol early in the morning, but this is our special peach blossom brew, which is not easy to get intoxicating. It doesn't hurt to drink some in the morning."
"It is an honor for me to invite His Highness Prince Ying and Miss Jin Fu. I would like to toast you all first." Hongyi raised his glass, and the other three people also raised their glasses to drink.
Hongyi continued: "Thank you King Ying and Miss Jin for taking care of my sister. I would like to toast you with this second cup."
After drinking this glass, Hongyi asked the maid in the box to fill them up with wine, "The third glass is specially dedicated to Miss Jin. Thank you for reminding my sister in time so that she can wake up in time and no longer be obsessed with love."
Tang Yue wasn't sure if it was a yin and yang thing or not, but she still finished the glass of wine.
Senior Brother Ji also felt that what Hong Yi said was wrong and explained to her: "I have seen the relationship between Miss Jin and Miss Hong in Beijing. They are like sisters. Miss Jin does not mind the relationship between Miss Hong and Prince Duan."
."
"Your Highness Prince Ying, don't worry. I sincerely appreciate Miss Jin's advice to my sister-in-law, and I don't want her to continue to stay with His Highness Prince Duan."
Hong Yu pouted and complained about her third brother: "It's such a good banquet, so don't mention that unlucky person. I just left home and I don't know people well."
Tang Yue looked at Hong Yu in surprise. When she left, she was still a woman who had been let down by a man and suffered emotional injuries. Now she regarded King Duan as a loser. Her emotions had changed so much.
It seems that her third brother really persuaded her a lot.
Senior Brother Ji laughed and said, "Miss Hong is right. We are so happy today, so let's not mention anyone else."
The morning tea was very good, delicious and not greasy. Hongyu ate a lot of snacks, "Third brother, I didn't expect you to enjoy such a good thing outside. If I had known, I would have followed you out."
The third brother laughed and said, "There are more delicious things, let you try them all."
"That's great. Afu, let's travel together and eat all over the world. My third brother's business is all over Dashang, so we don't have to pay for it."
Tang Yue thought it was a good idea to travel to Dashang Dynasty. The last time he went to the south, there were floods. He had collected the evil spirits of Long Jiuzi, so there should be no more floods. It would be nice to go and see the scenery.
"Okay, okay, let's go together."
King Ying thought to himself that it would be good to let her look around. From now on, her mother would have to stay in the palace all day long, so she would not have the chance to go around.
Everyone had almost eaten. Tang Yue went out for a while. When he came back, he was suddenly pulled into a room and strangled by the neck.
After taking a closer look, he turned out to be Hong Yu's third brother, Hong Yi.
"You are so scheming. You were able to coax my sister into teaching you how to practice, and you also left your fiancé." His hand gradually tightened, and Tang Yue was out of breath.
"I don't believe that you suddenly opened your eyes. How did you learn about my sister's true identity? What are your intentions?"
Hong Yu was in the transformation stage, her brother's cultivation was higher, and Tang Yue had no ability to resist.
So she didn't struggle and closed her eyes, not believing that he dared to kill her in this place.
Sure enough, Hongyi let go of his hand and said, "You are brave."
Tang Yue coughed for a while, and Hongyi struck hard, "You are a great demon with advanced cultivation. I am afraid that resistance will be useless."
Hongyi sat on the wooden chair in the box with a calm look on his face, "Tell me, where did you learn that my sister is not human."
"It's true that I don't have any clairvoyance. I accidentally learned about it from Sun Daozhang, a disciple of Zong Yingkong, the abbot of Qingyang Palace. He said that the charming woman who appeared next to my fiancé was a fox demon."
Saying all this is Zong Yingkong's best, maybe Hongyi can help him kill her.
"The abbot of Qingyang Palace is just an ordinary person." Hong Yi replied calmly.
"I believe you have heard that Abbot Zong can bring out some extraordinary treasures. It is these treasures that he relied on to win the emperor's heart. Maybe he has a magic weapon to identify demon cultivators."
"Then why are you not afraid of my sister and want to be sisters with her? What is your purpose?" Hongyi looks young, like a rich man in his twenties.
In fact, he has been operating in the human world for more than a hundred years, and he can point out the key to the problem at once.
Tang Yue had no choice but to tell him half the truth, "I want to practice immortality and become an immortal in the future, so I want Sister Hong to teach me how to practice. I am now a monk in the Qi Refining Stage, and I am very grateful to her."
Hongyi doesn't fully believe it, but it is true that she cannot kill Tang Yue at the moment. She is not an ordinary person, and the Minister of War will investigate her disappearance.
"I believe you for the time being. I hope you don't have bad intentions towards my sister. I am a demon cultivator in the body tempering stage. It will be easy to kill you."
Tang Yue suddenly realized that the demon cultivators in the body tempering stage were equivalent to the monks in the middle stage of Dongxu, and were higher than the powerful people she knew so far.
So how did Zong Yingkong, a great demon with such a high level of cultivation, kill his entire clan? Did he also have a magic weapon or evil formation with great destructive power?
King Ying's voice came from outside the door: "Afu, why did you and Brother Hong come to the box? What's the matter?"
