Du Changfeng had originally planned to welcome him at the end of the street, but he changed his mind halfway through the journey. The bad premonition became more and more intense, and if Bai Qianfan came out from the sedan, then he … He was scared out of her wits, so he finally went back.
Not long after, the Captain personally came to his room to invite him. He said that it was Prince Chu's idea, to invite all the citizens of the town to lunch at Drunken Immortal Tavern, and specially mentioned the name of General Du.
As he listened, he observed the long face, but other than reverence and caution, there was nothing on it.
He probed, "Did the Prince Chu come alone?"
The middle-aged man was a little curious: "General Du, do you mean that someone else should come?"
Du Changfeng waved his hand, "I was just casually asking."
When the long one walked away, Du Changfeng stood at the door and let the wind blow. His brain was spinning very quickly, the long one recognized Bai Qianfan, if she came together, he would be shocked, could it be... Bai Qianfan did not come, but if she did, then why did the Prince Chu come here alone? Why did you invite the whole town to dinner?
Prince Chu intentionally sent Senior Li to pass the message that even if the meal at noon was a Hongmen Feast, he would still go.
After dilly-dallying for a long time, he really couldn't bear it any longer, so he slowly walked over. Even from far away, they could hear the sound of people making a ruckus in the Drunken Immortal Tavern.
Although everyone in the town had arrived, every family had sent their representatives over. Only the General Du had not arrived, this was the first time he was serving the Prince Chu, and had nothing to do, how could this be good?
Just as he was about to send someone to fetch her, he saw Du Changfeng walking over slowly.
He hurried to welcome her and greeted her from afar, "General Du, you're finally here. We have reserved a seat for you, please come upstairs. "
Du Changfeng glanced at the floor above, "Have the Prince Chu arrived yet?"
"The general has arrived, this humble one will go and invite the Prince Chu," he smiled, "It's not good to make the Prince Chu wait for us."
Du Changfeng knew that was the reason. Since all his subordinates were here, he could only go invite Prince Chu.
There was a big round table in the room, with a girl sitting by the side. When she saw him, she blushed a little and stood up, saying, "Greetings, General."
Du Changfeng did not recognize her, and was not interested in knowing who she was. He indifferently nodded, and sat down on his butt.
The girl did not seem to care about his attitude. She poured him a cup of tea and said, "General, please have some tea."
Du Changfeng was surprised and glanced at her. This lady was dressed in luxurious clothes, he looked like a young miss from a rich family, but she was extremely familiar with the way he poured the tea just now, no different from someone in the main hall.
Seeing his doubt, the girl smiled and said, "I recognize General, but General still doesn't recognize me. The Drunken Immortal Tavern is opened by my father, and he has been in the city all year round. I'll take care of the business here."
Once she said that, Du Changfeng understood and laughed, "No wonder, it's the Drunken Immortal Tavern's young noble woman."
Shi Yingying grew up in the Drunken Immortal Tavern, and was not a young miss who was raised in a room. Her character was straightforward, and she laughed, "I dare not, my surname is Shi, my name is Ying Ying, if General does not mind, you can just call me by my name."
After chatting for a while, she suddenly remembered that it was because Bai Qianfan was not willing to become the son-in-law of the Shi family that she was brought to the city by Liu Maoquan. So the one who was pestering Bai Qianfan was actually this Miss Shi, and as expected, she was also a person of good nature, and had a temper, thus they fell for the same person.
Although he was a love rival, he did not hate Shi Yingying. It was kind of funny, but at the same time, he was a little worried.
As the two were speaking, the door opened and a group of people came in, hugging two people like the stars surrounding the moon. The man was elegant and elegant, with a delicate and intelligent appearance, as well as a beautiful appearance.
Du Changfeng and Shi Yingying stood up with their mouths agape, staring at Bai Qianfan's face.
The last time Du Changfeng saw Bai Qianfan was at night. In addition to her dirty face and men's attire, other than feeling that she was a little taller, he didn't feel that it was anything special about her. However, this time, when Bai Qianfan changed back into her female attire, Qi Hong helped her put on some more clothes.
At first, Shi Yingying only felt that her face was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before. However, the more she looked, the more she felt that something was wrong, that that face was too familiar, to the point she couldn't believe that it was Qian Fan's twin sisters … Or, or … He himself?
Her face was pale and she could not speak for a long time.
Someone at the side reprimanded her. "How dare you not kneel when you see the wangfei?"
One of them had a pale face, while the other had a pale complexion. Mechanical words came out of his mouth as he said, "This general (my daughter) greets Prince Chu, Princess Chu."
Bai Qianfan was a little embarrassed and hurried to support Shi Yingying, but Morong Gan held onto her arm and looked at her with a slightly warning gaze.
Bai Qianfan was puzzled. Shi Yingying was a girl, why couldn't she touch her?
Amidst the strange atmosphere, everyone took their seats, the Captain and Shi Shengcheng had just found out that Qian Fan was from Princess Chu, and the surprise on their faces never faded.
It was one thing for a dignified Princess Chu to run away from home, but he even disguised himself as a man and took two maidservants to settle down in a small town.
Since Prince Chu had found his beloved concubine, he was in a very good mood. With a friendly face, Shi Shengcheng gathered up his courage and begged Bai Qianfan for forgiveness, "I have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai, I have offended you in the past, please forgive me!"
Since Shi Shengcheng had raised his hand, she stood up with his wine cup raised, "No, no, I was wrong first. I apologize to everyone, I will punish myself with a cup, and respect my actions first!"
Just as she was about to pour the wine into his mouth, Morong Gan held her down and took the little wine cup from her hands and drank it all in one gulp.
"Speaking of which, the responsibility lies with me. Back then, the wangfei and I had a small misunderstanding before she ran out in a fit of anger. She lived here for more than half a year, and thanks for everyone's care, I toast everyone to express my gratitude."
The Prince Chu toasts, how great of an honor is that, everyone stood up with a face full of joy, repeatedly saying, "We don't dare to accept it, it is our Dark Water Town's blessing that the wangfei is willing to stay here."
The atmosphere became more and more lively. Prince Chu was flushed from drinking and when he heard everyone talk about Bai Qianfan's life in the town, his smile never stopped. While drinking, he did not forget to give Bai Qianfan food.
In this bustling atmosphere, only two people remained silent. They drank the wine and ate the food, and when the Prince Chu toasted, they stood up and sat down together with everyone. However, everyone could see their absent-mindedness and despondency.
