Although the situation was a little awkward, Sheng Yan didn't eat anything in the morning.

The Xuanyuan Li didn't say anything, only putting Sheng Yan down, and directly grabbed onto her collar as they walked forward.

"Hey, hey, let go of me, what's this supposed to be?"

"Who cares? You are following me, what are you?"

Sheng Yan suddenly had no more confidence. Just like Lan Qin had said, without any martial arts, it would be impossible.

But he couldn't possibly be studying here.

However, he could concoct the medicine himself, and when the time came, he would make an explosive medicine which would make this unrepentant Prince kowtow and admit his wrongs.

The two of them arrived at the restaurant at the same time. There were very few people here, and each room was very unique.

Sheng Yan looked at her surroundings curiously as if she had just arrived from the countryside, as though she was about to rip open her mouth.

After all, this was his first time in the ancient world, so he was very surprised.

They walked to the innermost room and sat down.

The waiter had a lackey's' look on his face.

"What would you like to order?"

Sheng Yan laughed, "He's treating us to food, serve us your signature dish like that."

The waiter's mouth twitched. "Our signature dish has ten dishes, if you only have two people …"

"Cut the crap, one at a time. Come and try it, if the food is not tasty, smash your store's signboard, do you know who is sitting here? It's the Prince Li, hurry up and go. "

Hearing Sheng Yan's words, the waiter quickly wiped the sweat off her forehead and went to get the menu.

The Xuanyuan Li's eyes opened wide, "You sure know how to."

Sheng Yan was extremely hungry.

"Since the Prince is here, I might as well take the initiative. Besides, I'm a lady, you can't possibly let me treat, right?"

"Really? Then, at least you should show a bit of mercy when you follow me."

"What kind of expression do you want?"

Sheng Yan felt that it was filled with danger, especially when she saw the blurry eyes of the Xuanyuan Li, he had the nagging feeling that he was going to beat herself up.

"You think I'd be interested in you?"

Sheng Yan nodded and covered her clothes.

"Haha, let me tell you, I'm not interested in you at all."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? You made me feel really nervous."

"Oh right, why isn't that Small Five by your side?"

Speaking of which, Sheng Yan felt embarrassed. After all, the Small Five was her and she was the Small Five.

Coincidentally, the waiter came to serve the dishes. The two of them did not speak but started to eat.

"Isn't it strange that I brought my servants out, it's fine that I brought Lan Qin out."

"So, this Small Five won't always be by your side?"

Yeah, he's not at the Sheng Jia, he's just a person I brought over from the manor. I don't know where he lives, but he does work for me.

The Xuanyuan Li nodded. Seems like I have to get closer to Sheng Yan in order to have the chance to find that Small Five.

Sheng Yan continued to eat, but after a while, she felt that something was amiss. Why did this Prince keep on asking him about the matters regarding the Small Five? Was he really missing an arm?

Of course, he could not ask that, or else he would definitely die.

As he ate, he looked up and saw that he had disappeared.

Sheng Yan immediately panicked, this brat was not like last time, he did not pay any money and ran away right?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly called the waiter.

"The bill."

"Three hundred silver taels in total."

Sheng Yan nodded, looking at the waiter's face, he couldn't refuse either, but he truly had no money.

"Do you want to keep an account?"

"But every time Prince comes here, he doesn't charge any debts."

Sheng Yan was shocked. She thought it through thoroughly and even brought him to such a high class restaurant.

"This time is different. Prince has an urgent matter to attend to.

The waiter was hesitant to leave, so Sheng Yan stood up.

"Would such a big Prince Li's Mansion still owe you this much silver?"

"No, of course not, this young one has already been recorded by the Prince Li."

Sheng Yan acknowledged her as she walked out.

Of course, leaving in such a hurry made him feel guilty, so he left slowly. Before leaving, he even mentioned that the dishes in this store were not bad and would frequently visit in the future.

Although that small nest was old and worn out, it was still safe.

Before he even had the chance to speak with Lan Qin, he was called to the front hall.

Seeing that all of Sheng Jia's sons and daughters were present, Sheng Yan felt a little embarrassed. She came back a little late.

"What, the empress only verbally said that she wanted to point you out to the Third Prince? You really did raise your tail. You only came back after so long, who knows, you might have fooled around with that man."

But since Sheng Ming He was here, as his daughter, she did not dare to make a sound.

"Alright, we have gained a lot from entering the palace this time. There are actually two daughters that have entered the rear palace of the First Prince. This way, the power of our Sheng Jia will no longer be underestimated."

Sheng Yan muttered in her heart, wasn't it just relying on gifts to get the upper hand?

"Yup, right now, you are the Grand Imperial Consort in one autumn, and Sien En is also the lateral consort. This way, when you two sisters come to the First Prince's mansion, you must work together and properly serve the First Prince."

"Daughter will do her best."

Fu Yun Xian's face was brimming with a smile, but she did not have any intentions of letting Sheng Yan go.

"Small Five, what did you just leave the Imperial Palace for? Why did you return so late?"

"I... They went to eat. "

"Eat? I can't eat when I come back, did you say that I mistreated you as a mother? "

Qing Qian wanted to say something, but she was stopped by Sheng Yun Kun. After all, the current situation was not Sheng Yan's fault, so she decided to add fuel to the fire and make the matter even more serious.

But Sheng Ming He was surprisingly kind.

"Small Five, you have just returned. It's fine to walk around the capital, but you have to tell your family."

"Father, I know I was wrong. After I left the Imperial Palace, I went to eat at the Prince Li Li."

"Oh?" Sheng Ming He's eyes carried a trace of light. This light seemed to be more expectant than Sheng Yi Qiu marrying Xuan Yuan Nuo.

"As a girl, how can I meet with a man alone outside?" The Xuanyuan Li's reputation outside was mostly guessed at, whether it was her character or not, it was just that her taste was a little different. Now that she was eating alone with Sheng Yan, what exactly did this mean?

Sheng Yi Qiu clenched her fist and turned to give Sheng Yan a slap.

"Bitch, you were the one who seduced the Prince first, right? Now, I'm here to treat you to a meal. If you weren't waiting outside the Imperial Palace, how could you have met the Prince?"

The corner of Sheng Yan's mouth revealed a faint smile, "Sixth Sister is about to become a Grand Imperial Consort, how dare you be so reckless. Don't tell me you dare to be like this in the First Prince Palace? You truly have lost the face of a Sheng Jia.

"You!" Sheng Yi Qiu was so angry that she could not say a word.

Qing Qian held onto Sheng Ming He's sleeve, and said gently with a smile: "Father, look at our Small Five, we understand the general situation, and we know the limits of what we should do. We will probably be treated nicely when we reach the Third Prince's residence, so father don't worry."

Sheng Ming He nodded at Sheng Yan, and then rolled his eyes at Fu Yun Xian and Sheng Yi Qiu.
