Chapter 239 The Prince is coming to ask for the moon
"Mom"
Wangcai was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.
Don't blame him for losing his composure, it was actually something that was beyond his expectation.
Zhao Xun is now a popular figure in Chang'an City, and he is also the prince of the country. Logically speaking, it would not be surprising if he entertains anyone to make money.
Except for the Prince of the East Palace.
That is the most noble man besides the emperor.
When did Zhao Xun and His Highness the Crown Prince get together? Wangcai had no idea, he was completely unaware!
"Brother Mingyun, are you kidding?"
Zhao Xun smiled helplessly: "Do you think I invited you all the way to my house just to make a joke? And do you think this kind of thing can be a joke?"
This seems to be the case
Wangcai swallowed a mouthful of spit, then laughed and said: "In that case, I must help you. To be honest, my family has three restaurants in Dongshi, but the one with the highest standard must be Shaoyue Restaurant...
"
Zhao Xun nodded after hearing this.
"I have also heard of the name Shaoyue Tower. It is also well-known in Dongshi. I never expected that it is your family's property."
Now it seems that the Wangcai family's reputation as the world's most wealthy businessman is indeed true.
"What do you think? Let's settle on Shaoyue Tower?"
Wangcai asked quite proudly.
"Well, there is no time to hesitate about the choice. Let's decide on Shaoyue Tower. However, this matter is of great importance. The person I am hosting is the prince, and there must be countless pairs of eyes in the court. If word spreads, it will definitely not happen.
Beautiful. I think you should arrange the decoration in advance, replace the whole restaurant with trustworthy confidants, and then do not receive other drinkers that day and clear the place."
It would be better to do this kind of thing to the extreme rather than leave any room for others to take advantage of it.
Zhao Xun just hoped that he could handle this matter beautifully and not let others take advantage of him.
"Don't worry, leave this matter to me and I will handle it properly."
Wangcai patted his chest to defend himself.
When Zhao Xun told Cheng Guogong Zhao Yuan about his upcoming banquet with Prince Li Xiankun in Dongshi, the cheap old man was almost scared to death.
"What, why did you make the decision on such a big matter without authorization? You child, you are really disturbing."
Zhao Yuan sat down on the chair and felt that his back was soaked with sweat.
"Dad, the incident happened so suddenly that I made the decision on my own before I had time to discuss it with you. This is my fault, but the matter has come to an end, so don't be angry."
Zhao Xun knew that there was no possibility of being reasonable in front of his own father, so he simply gave in.
As expected, seeing that Zhao Xun's attitude was quite good, Zhao Yuan said with a slightly calmer expression: "That's all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to make friends with you. He also knows what he means by being a father. In fact, since the last time you and the King of Wei had a conflict and fell from the building,
After that, you got involved in the fight between the princes, and this day will come sooner or later."
Zhao Yuan is an old fox, and of course he knows that the purpose of the prince's overtures is to win over Zhao Xun.
Now the ability that Zhao Xun has shown is enough for the Prince of the East Palace to take the initiative to lower his profile and make friends.
The prince is courteous to the corporal, and as a minister, it is natural that he cannot refuse.
But it is actually very difficult to determine this degree.
Because once the excessive force was spread to the emperor's ears, Zhao Xun would definitely be charged with being acquainted with the prince.
"Is the banquet venue you arranged in Dongshi reliable?"
This is the issue that Zhao Yuan is most concerned about now.
"Dad, don't worry. This restaurant in Dongshi belongs to my close friend's family, so everything will be fine."
Zhao Xun is absolutely assured of Wangcai.
If he has several best friends in this world, Wangcai must be one of them.
"That's good, that's good."
As soon as Zhao Yuan finished speaking, he suddenly slapped his head and said, "Do you want to go to the banquet as a father?"
Zhao Xun was completely confused now.
Even if dad is scared, he shouldn't be like this.
The prince wanted to make friends with him, not his father. It was up to him to figure out what was going on.
"You don't have to go, right? Don't worry, my son can handle it well."
The reason why Zhao Xun is so confident is not without reason.
Zhao Xun was able to deal with Emperor Xianlong with ease, even a mere prince.
"Okay, bring a few more people with you so that if anything happens, we'll have someone to take care of you."
Zhao Yuan saw that his son had made up his mind and stopped trying to persuade him.
Zhao Xun thought to himself that this time he must make the prince give up.
There is no need for people who are traveling together to be so entangled and unclear.
It would be beneficial for both parties to clarify this early.
The morning bells and evening drums are the signals for the opening and closing of the city of Chang'an.
Before the evening drum beat, a black carriage stopped in front of Shaoyue Tower in Dongshi.
This carriage is not luxurious, but it has a hint of nobility.
After the carriage stopped, someone carefully laid the steps for getting off the carriage.
Then a middle-aged man with a noble face lifted the curtain of the carriage and slowly stepped out of the carriage.
He is Li Xiankun, the Prince of the East Palace.
The secret guards of the East Palace hid in the dark in accordance with the prince's order and did not show their faces.
This is to avoid disturbing the people.
After all, the prince's status is special, so naturally the less people know about his visit to Dongshi for a banquet, the better.
Li Xiankun raised his head and glanced at the plaque on Shaoyue Tower, secretly approving in his heart.
As expected of a disciple of the academy known as Wenquxing, he really knows how to choose a place.
This Shaoyue Restaurant is considered the most elegant restaurant in Dongshi.
Although Li Xiankun did not come here to drink, his mood would naturally be much better if the restaurant environment was more elegant.
Li Xiankun strode towards the restaurant, while the guards of the East Palace looked around, ready to deal with any sudden changes.
Stepping into the restaurant, Li Xiankun saw that there was no one in the lobby, and thought that Zhao Xun was really good at doing things, so he should have cleared the place in advance.
He was about to go upstairs when he saw a fat man who looked like a meat ball walking towards him with a smile.
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Oh? Who are you?"
"I, Wangcai, am a bad person and a colleague of Brother Mingyun."
Wangcai said in a harmonious voice: "Brother Mingyun suddenly has something going on at home, so I'm afraid I'll have to come a little later. Your Highness, you might as well go upstairs to rest first."
When Li Xiankun heard this, his face instantly turned livid. He even suspected that he had heard wrongly.
What? Zhao Xun hasn’t arrived yet?
Shouldn't it be Zhao Xun who went to the door to greet him in person after setting up the banquet?
Is his majestic crown prince so hopeless?
Seeing that Li Xiankun was about to get angry, Wangcai said quickly: "Your Highness, Brother Mingyun probably delayed to see you bathing, changing clothes, and incense. Don't be offended."
Li Xiankun finally made it to the bottom of the stairs. He naturally calmed down his anger, walked down the slope, cleared his throat and said, "That's it, I'll just go upstairs and wait."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and stepped up the stairs.
Wangcai quickly followed behind, thinking, Brother Mingyun, I can only help you get here.
