Chapter 76 The Emperor’s Personal Visit

Chapter 76

Hongsheng Restaurant has recently become famous for the debate competition hosted by the great scholar Zhang Yong. Every day, the restaurant is packed with guests.

Hongsheng Restaurant was full every day, so it had to introduce a reservation system and add a minimum consumption amount to limit the selection of guests.

Xie Zhan was flipping through a booklet in Hongsheng Restaurant at this time. The owner and the restaurant owner were standing respectfully by his side.

Hongsheng Restaurant will prepare a debate competition on the 27th, 28th, and 29th, and the debate topics are also carefully prepared.

These three days are considered the finals, which are very important, so it is necessary to set a threshold and filter a group of people. In addition, they have other arrangements, and safety measures must be taken in all aspects to manually screen the guests in these three days.

The booklet in Xie Zhan's hand records all the people who want to reserve seats at Hongsheng Restaurant for these three days, including dignitaries, business celebrities, and scholars.

Xie Zhan looked through them one by one so that he could have a clear idea. He even had the power to cross out the unsuitable people.

Soon, his eyes fixed on a line of words in the booklet, "The Lu family wants to book the Lanzi size box on the second floor on the 28th?"

The young master replied, "Yes, Master Xie, do you want to book the Lanzi size for them?"

Xie Zhan hesitated for a moment and said, "Give it to them."

On the 28th, they will invite Emperor Kang Cheng out of the palace for this debate competition, which will be a feast. That's why they will pay so much attention to the security of the restaurant. After all, if something happens to the emperor in Hongsheng Restaurant, it's no joke.

From the 27th to the 29th, there are three days of competition, but the Lu family only booked a seat on the 28th, which already explains a lot of problems.

Xie Zhan was already somewhat certain at this time that there was a master behind the Lu family, so let him see how the Lu family broke the deadlock.

In fact, Lu Songli wanted to book the blue font size for three days, but the shopkeeper of Hongsheng Restaurant told her people that because there were too many guests in Hongsheng Restaurant recently, including many dignitaries, in order to let everyone have the opportunity to enjoy the feast, they only had one chance to book the blue font size in these three days. After thinking for a while, Lu Songli asked her people to book the box for the 28th.

On November 28th, Lu Desheng was summoned to the palace to accompany the emperor early in the morning.

Because of the restrictions and screening of guests, Hongsheng Restaurant is no longer overcrowded. Those who can come in are people of status. Even scholars are talented and famous, which has raised the style of the challenge match.

Lu Songli brought her mother and brother to Hongsheng Restaurant early in the morning. Later, Qin Sheng would also come. She originally wanted to invite Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Qin Sanshao to come together. But Mrs. Sanshao was about to give birth, so she declined her invitation. Mrs. Qin was in poor health due to recent hard work, so she stayed at home to recuperate. But both of them were very grateful for her invitation.

After hearing about Mrs. Qin's situation, Lu Songli thought that she had enough money now. She would go back and pick some authentic medicinal materials to make some health-preserving pills. Her parents could also use such health-preserving pills, but for Mrs. Qin, the amount of some medicinal materials should be heavier, and the effect might be better. As for how to add or subtract, it would take a careful look at her physical condition before deciding.

Qin Sheng arrived about a quarter of an hour later than them.

As soon as he came in, he was favored by his mother-in-law. She called him to her side and asked him questions kindly. Even Lu Mingzhi, who was usually the most favored by Jiang, was squeezed aside.

This was the first time Lu Mingzhi met Qin Sheng, the future second brother-in-law. He thought that this second brother-in-law was so young and not the same type as the former second brother-in-law Xie Zhan. The latter was more mature, and it was true. After all, Xie Zhan was seventeen years old, two years older than him.

"Second brother-in-law, I'm Lu Mingzhi." Lu Mingzhi greeted Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng sat upright, and replied in a serious and solemn manner, "I've heard a lot about you, Mingzhi, my name is Qin Sheng."

In fact, Qin Sheng's face was hot when he was called the second brother-in-law, but he tried his best to hold it back, and then his ears turned red.

His unsociable side made Lv Mingzhi laugh secretly, hehe, there is finally someone with a thin skin in their family, "I know, second brother-in-law."

Qin Sheng's blush on the roots of his ears became more obvious.

Lv Songli glanced at her brother, and said, "Don't you feel guilty for bullying an honest man like this?"

Lv Mingzhi smiled foolishly, but thought in his heart, what does it matter? Anyway, you are married by the Queen Mother, and it is impossible to cancel the engagement.

A technical geek and a sports expert, who have almost no intersection, actually became uncles-in-law. Fate is really amazing.

Jiang drank tea and looked at the eye-to-eye lawsuit between the children with amusement.

Lv Songli had to change the subject, otherwise she was afraid that if she continued, Qin Sheng would get angry.

"Ah Sheng, are Liu Erxi and the others doing well recently?" While asking, she also handed him a cup of tea. The tea was already cold, so it should be able to cool him down a bit.

Qin Sheng picked it up and drank it all, "You have found them things to do recently and given them money. In their words, it couldn't be better."

"That's good." It's right to pay people for work. And some things are more convenient for them to do in person than for the housekeepers in the mansion.

Qin Sheng said again, "My eldest brother and third brother are here, just next door."

Lu Songli paused in drinking tea, all of them were watching the fun and didn't mind the big things.

As soon as Qin Sheng finished speaking, Qin Heng and Qin Sanlang arrived outside the door.

After all, Jiang is the elder, and Qin Heng and others, as the younger generation, should come to pay their respects since they have come to Hongsheng Restaurant.

Jiang quickly invited them in.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Qin Heng took Qin Sanlang back to the next room and left Qin Sheng behind.

When the ring match was about to start, Hongsheng Restaurant suddenly became strict.

The atmosphere was immediately different.

The emperor is coming? Lu Songli guessed secretly.

Lu Songli guessed correctly. Emperor Kang Cheng brought a group of ministers to Hongsheng Restaurant incognito and stayed in the largest and most luxurious room on the second floor of Hongsheng Restaurant.

Xie Zhan took advantage of his father's convenience to meet the emperor and was kept.

Lu Desheng quickly said, "Your Majesty, my children are also in Hongsheng Restaurant." Xie Mingtang, you want to bring your son, and I want to bring my son and daughter! Humph, why should you be the only one in front!

After saying that, Lu Desheng looked at Emperor Kang Cheng eagerly.

The ministers cursed Lv Desheng for being shameless in their hearts, and some glared at Xie Mingtang who started this.

The careful ministers looked at him sideways. Lv Desheng was so bold. His little daughter and son were only fourteen or fifteen years old, right? Wasn't he afraid that they would lose their manners in front of the emperor? The kind-hearted Prince Gong couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.

Lv Desheng was very calm. His daughter was smart, and he was not worried that she would not be able to cope with it in front of the emperor. Moreover, his daughter was much better than Xie Zhan. If Xie Zhan could come, why couldn't his daughter? If these people were so worried, he should strive for it. Lv Desheng didn't want to miss any opportunity for his daughter to grow.

Because of Zhao Bin's matter, Emperor Kangcheng was quite curious about Lv Songli, the second daughter of the Lv family. It was rare to see a girl who was so cruel. Besides, he had just allowed Xie Zhan, the eldest son of the Xie family, to meet the emperor. Now that Lv Aiqing mentioned his son and daughter, he still had to give him this face.

So, Lv Songli and Lv Mingzhi were summoned by Emperor Kangcheng.

When Lv Songli was about to go to the imperial carriage, Qin Sheng held her back and whispered to her, "Before the imperial carriage, you should be careful and don't talk nonsense."

Lv Songli looked at his serious handsome face with amusement, knowing that he meant for her to stop being so careless. This young man was also worried about her.

"Don't worry." She patted his arm, then walked past him and went out.

Lv Mingzhi followed closely.

After the children left, Jiang saw that she was the only one in the box, well, there was also her considerate son-in-law, so she simply took him to the box next door and joined Qin Heng and others.

When they arrived in front of the imperial carriage, Lv Songli and her brother saluted and faced the emperor in a proper manner. After Emperor Kang Cheng asked them to stand up without any formalities, before he asked two questions, the signal for the start of the ring match came from downstairs.

Lv Songli took her brother and stood behind her father swiftly. This position happened to be opposite to Xie Zhan from a distance, and the two of them looked at each other and then left. We'll see what's going on later, there's no need to start a war now.

After the two children stood up, Lv Desheng glanced at Xie Mingtang, your Xie family gave birth to a son of a unicorn, and my family also gave birth to a daughter of a heroine. Now Lv Desheng is an old father who proudly shows off his baby.

The other ministers were jealous, what's going on? Xie Mingtang and Lv Desheng, why did you all come to Hongsheng Restaurant with your families today? I always feel like I missed something.

They were all summoned by the emperor when they were doing their work in the government office. At first, they didn't know the reason. After the emperor took them out of the palace, they knew that they were going to Hongsheng Restaurant to watch the ring match.

It's a pity that the children at home didn't come to Hongsheng Restaurant to join in the fun. Otherwise, they would get a chance to see the emperor. It doesn't matter if they perform well or not. At least they can show their faces in front of the emperor. Who knows if they will use it in the future?
