Nan Yan had a rule that women were not allowed to show their faces. When they went out, they had to cover their face with a veil, revealing only their eyes.
Although Shangguan Wan didn't really like him, she had no choice but to follow the customs of the country. Coupled with her face which had become red and swollen due to the allergy symptoms these days, this custom gave her the convenience to cover her blemishes.
The trip was quicker than he expected, so Nangong Yu didn't rush to bring her into the palace. The group stayed at an inn in the Southern Yan City.
It seemed that girls all liked to shop, and foxes were no exception.
Unfortunately, although his man was the ruler of a country, he didn't bring much money with him on this trip. The journey was made with the help of local government officials.
In the end, Nangong Yu was still a pauper.
At this time, they should have entered the palace and sought the 'protection' of their father-in-law, the Emperor of South Yan. But Nangong Yu gave them a very good reason: "In order to not expose any flaws, you have to thoroughly understand the information regarding South Yan in the next few days."
Shangguan Wan expressed her certainty. As the princess of Nanyan, she couldn't possibly know nothing about her home country. It wasn't appropriate to ask Rui Xiang about this sort of thing.
There was still a man who wanted to please a beautiful woman. This time, Nangong Yu was very generous.
"This jade pendant can sell for at least a thousand silver taels."
A certain woman accepted it with a smile and rushed into the pawnshop without a word of thanks.
Nangong Yu could only sigh with emotion, "Only women and villains are hard to raise."
Lin Lin wanted to say something, but she decided to keep her mouth shut. The late emperor had bestowed this jade pendant to her, so giving it to the empress was truly a pity.
It was a pity, but the most important thing was that one was willing to fight while the other was willing to accept it. It was a perfect match.
In a moment, Shangguan Wan came out of the pawnshop. She was overjoyed, holding a stack of banknotes in her hand, and laughed boldly, "Guess how much I sold it for? Three thousand taels! Go! I'll treat you guys to something nice to eat! "
She had never felt bad for spending the emperor's money, so she treated it as a salary for being the empress.
A word quickly flashed through Nangong Yu's mind — Wasteland wench.
Unsurprisingly, the four of them arrived at the restaurant where the South Yan business was flourishing.
The reason why this restaurant's business was so good was because its owner, when talking about boss, had to mention a legendary figure in the imperial court — the King Rui.
King Rui was the younger brother of the Emperor. For many years, he had been loyal and patriotic. Everyone knew this.
The owner of this Consonance Pavilion was none other than the son of King Rui, Mingjin.
The people in charge of the restaurant were all top chefs, and the system of paying the bills was also very unique.
What kind of system was this? To put it simply, no matter what you eat or how much you eat, you can pay whatever you want.
Then you will think, don't you think that a lot of people will get into this mess for free? His words were wrong. The King Rui was a good man and a great hero in the hearts of the common people. When the common people supported him, naturally, they would not treat his family's restaurant unfairly.
Shangguan Wan had also heard of this, which was why she chose this restaurant and booked a private room.
The owner of the restaurant was not someone who could be seen just because he wanted to. He was rumored to be as elegant and elegant as Pan An.
It was just that Mingjin still had a little secret that he didn't know about, which was revealed later on.
Shangguan Wan only remembered that when they first entered the restaurant, the innkeeper gave her a meaningful look, before instructing the waiter to entertain them and walking into the backyard herself, she didn't know why.
Shangguan Wan was puzzled, she was covered by a veil, so it was hard for others to recognize her, unless she was someone who had a very good relationship with her.
However, just as they were about to start eating, the shopkeeper did not show up. Instead, a handsome and handsome young master appeared.
"Sister Huang, long time no see." Mingjin impolitely sat down beside Shangguan Wan.
On the other side, Nangong Yu's eyes were filled with black fog as he remained silent.
At this moment, Shangguan Wan's head was working on a precise analysis. He had called her 'royal elder sister', and now she was here again, so this must be her beloved cousin, Shangguan Mingjin.
"Truly, it's been a long time. I never would have thought that even after putting on a bandana, I would be recognized. The shopkeeper must have told you this." The astute Shangguan Wan had already seen through some tricks.
It wasn't difficult for Nangong Yu to understand people, so some things were obvious to everyone.
Mingjin nodded in agreement.
On the side, the emperor coldly said, "Your highness is truly elegant. The identity of the shopkeeper and the owner can be switched freely."
Shangguan Wan secretly kicked him, complaining that he shouldn't have exposed her so early.
Mingjin stretched out his hand to take a sip, then smiled coyly at Nangong Yu, "Your majesty's eyesight isn't bad."
There was a hidden meaning behind his words.
"I didn't expect Brother Wang to still be so innocent." Shangguan Wan winked at Mingjin, showing the same enthusiasm she should have when meeting a relative or acquaintance.
"Sister Huang is joking. She has nothing better to do and is just playing around. I didn't expect that after some time, she would become addicted to it. The same person coming in and out of the restaurant with a different identity. How interesting." Mingjin's smile towards Shangguan Wan was unique.
Nangong Yu could clearly see this unique smile on his face. There was a voice in his heart telling his to be careful of this ever-changing man.
