To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 183 Rain Comes

  These words were sarcasm in the ears of the princess.

  So she said: "I heard that your store is called Youjian Winery, and vulgarity is elegance. Miss Luo is very good at naming things."

  Hearing the words "Youjian Wine Shop", Chao Hua twitched his eyelashes.

   "Vulgar is elegant?" Luo Sheng looked a little unhappy, and asked directly, "Where is the vulgar?"

  The crown princess was so choked that her blood surged up.

  Is this not bad?

   After calming down, the princess said lightly: "Didn't you mean to buy a wine shop?"

  Luo Sheng paid attention to Chaohua from the corner of his eyes, and sighed softly: "Flowers, snow and moon, four seasons in the world, this is what it means."

  She saw Chao Hua suddenly raised her eyelids and looked straight over.

  Luo Sheng smiled slightly at the princess: "Isn't it a very elegant name?"

  The Crown Princess twitched the corners of her mouth: "If you explain it this way, it is really elegant, but it's a pity that most people don't understand Miss Luo's thoughts, right?"

  Luo Sheng smiled: "The music is high and the few are few, and it is hard to find a bosom friend. I don't need so many people to understand my thoughts, as long as one or two people understand it is enough. Now that the princess knows, is there any interest in going to a wine shop to drink in the future?"

   "Of course I'm interested." The princess said perfunctorily.

  Whether the name of the restaurant is elegant or vulgar, she has no interest, but she is too interested in the price of the restaurant.

  She really wanted to see with her own eyes what a wine shop with five thousand six hundred and twenty taels of silver for a meal of hops would look like.

  While listening to Luo Sheng say these things, Chao Hua felt like a thunderbolt hit her heart with every word.

  Miss Luo, what does this mean?

   It is difficult to find a bosom friend when the song is high and few, as long as one or two people understand it is enough.

   Did you say this to her?

   Wind, flowers, snow and moon, four seasons in the world.

   This is not Miss Luo's restaurant.

   This is the princess's wine shop.

   It can't be a coincidence, the pickled radish skin is the taste made by Xiuyue, and there is a restaurant named after the princess.

   Now she is almost certain that the cook of a restaurant is Xiuyue!

  Then Xiuyue managed to pass these words to Miss Luo through her mouth?

  Xiuyue is asking her to meet at a restaurant.

   Chao Hua stared at Luo Sheng intently, his mind fluctuating.

  If her guess is correct, what is Miss Luo's position?

  Could Fei know Xiuyue's identity——Chaohua immediately denied this possibility.

  Xiuyue is different from her. In the eyes of the court, she is a fish that slipped through the net of the Zhennan Palace, and she can't see the light.

  Even if Xiuyue had a pure temperament and went through that disaster and kept her name incognito for twelve years, she wouldn't be the same Xiuyue she used to be.

  She believed that Xiuyue would not tell such an important matter to irrelevant people.

  From this point of view, Miss Luo may have just passed on these few words under the entrustment of Xiuyue.

  After all, these few words can't be heard by others.

  As for why Miss Luo helped Xiuyue spread the word, it's not hard to guess.

  With Xiuyue's culinary skills, it is not difficult to buy Miss Luo's stomach first, and then ask Miss Luo to say a few words in front of the Crown Princess.

   Chao Hua bit her lip.

  Xiuyue is waiting for her in a restaurant, what can she do to get out?

   Once entering the palace, the gate is as deep as the sea. She is the prince's concubine, and it is more difficult to get out of the palace than ascending to heaven.

   Chaohua fell into a daze for a moment.

   "I also met her, she really is a beauty." Luo Sheng stood up, "I won't bother the Crown Princess anymore. When the Crown Princess comes to the restaurant, I will treat the Crown Princess to a drink."

  The princess barely maintained her demeanor to see off the guests.

   Sending away the evil, the crown princess swept the court flowers, and said with a half-smile: "Servant Yuxuan didn't expect that the jewel in the palm of Governor Luo came to the palace to see you."

   "The maid and concubine really didn't expect it." Chao Huagui replied politely, with a respectful attitude.

  She didn't want to offend the Crown Princess, and there was no need to offend the Crown Princess.

  But she knew that being favored by a concubine was a sin in itself.

   There is nothing wrong with the Crown Princess not liking her.

   Because of this, she is willing to put a more humble attitude in front of the princess, and only asks the other party to let her live in peace.

   "Ms. Luo has not been disappointed by choosing a beautiful servant." The princess's tone was light, and there was no sound of happiness or anger.

   Chaohua lowered her eyes and bowed her knees: "The servant girl is terrified. The servant girl is a woman who is almost thirty years old, how can she be worthy of talking about her beauty. Even if she has a look or two, she will not dare to dirty the nobleman's eyes in two years."

  Prince Princess stared at Chao Hua for a moment, then said calmly, "Back off."

  Being favored like this, and still being so humble and respectful, such a person is far more terrifying than those lowly maidservants who are rampant when they are successful.

   Fortunately, it's not too late to do it now.

  The Crown Princess walked to the window with cold eyes.

  Outside the window, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and it seemed that the rain was about to fall.

  Not long after Luo Sheng got into the carriage, he heard thunder outside, followed by the sound of rain.

  Hongdou lifted up the corner of the car curtain and looked out, and immediately there was rain flying in obliquely and splashed on his face, he hurriedly pressed the corner of the curtain and turned to Luo Sheng, "Girl, it's raining heavily."

   "Speak to the coachman and go directly to the wine shop."

  The carriage turned a corner in the wind and rain, and went straight to a wine shop.

   "Girl, the restaurant is here."

  Hongdou jumped down first, and waited aside with the bamboo umbrella open.

  Luo Sheng got out of the carriage and stood on the street looking out.

  On the bustling and bustling Qingxing Street in the past, there were only a few pedestrians running wildly with their sleeves covering their heads and faces, and the continuous rain curtain could not see the end.

   "Girl, let's go into the wine shop, or our clothes will get wet." Hong Dou followed suit, but didn't know what the girl was looking at.

  It's raining in the distance and near, so there's nothing to see.

   "The sky is changing really fast." Luo Sheng murmured, and walked towards the wine shop.

   "Boss, why are you here at this hour?" The female shopkeeper hastily opened the door and welcomed Luo Sheng and the others in.

  Luo Sheng stomped his feet.

  Although it was covered by a bamboo umbrella, the corners of the skirt were still wet from the short distance, and the raindrops were dripping down to the floor.

   "I'm going to change clothes." Luo Sheng confessed, and went to the main room.

   Putting on dry clothes, Luo Sheng called Xiuyue in.

  There is no third person present, so the master and the servant speak freely.

   "I just came out of the East Palace today." Luo Sheng paused and said softly, "I was in the East Palace and saw Chaohua."

  Xiuyue was shocked: "Chaohua, is she still alive?"

   "She is Wei Qiang's concubine now."

  Xiuyue's complexion suddenly changed: "How could she—"

   "It's good to be alive." Luo Sheng laughed.

  Xiuyue didn't think so, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's better to die like this!"

  This is not her sister Chaohua, her sister Chaohua will not commit herself to a beast.

  Luo Sheng stretched out his hand to hold Xiuyue's trembling fingertips: "Chaohua should guess that you are here by now."

  Xiuyue was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly: "Yes, Chaohua is so smart."

   It's not like her, even if the princess hinted at it everywhere, she still didn't dare to think about it, until she saw the princess in black clothes getting out of the wine tank.

   "Xiuyue, don't think the worst. Chaohua should find a way to meet you. Then you can judge whether she has changed, and tell her my true identity."

  It is easier for Xiuyue to convince Chaohua that she is Princess Qingyang than her own words.

  Thanks to the book friends who rewarded and voted. I recommend Wu Qianyu's "Sweet and Warm Marriage", a sweet love story in which the fate of the past life is broken and the present life is renewed~
