Ji Rongjin's eyelashes trembled slightly and she saluted quickly: "Your Highness..." She suppressed the panic in her eyes and forced herself to calm down.

Ta-ta-ta! Yan Tao's fingers tapped on the table, as if tapping on her heart, squeezing her heartbeat and making her feel uneasy.

Isn't it just a shop? Take it back if you want. What can she, a commoner girl, do to him? Is it worth beating and scaring him like this?

Just when Ji Rongjin was about to give up the shop, His Highness King Qi finally said, "Take care of it, there is a banquet tonight."

What kind of banquet was it and who was asked to clean it up? If she and His Highness Prince Qi were not the only ones in the room, Ji Rongjin would have thought that these words were addressed to other people.

"Your Highness, you mean to let me..." She didn't believe it and didn't want to go.

Yan Tao's face was indifferent, his eyes were clear and cold, without any emotion at all. He looked at him neither salty nor indifferent, and did not speak.

"But didn't we already... last time?"

Yan Tao glanced up, then leaned back in his chair and smiled with unknown meaning.

The tracking matter has not ended. Shitou was helping in the morning tea house. I heard that Manager Kang had found a young man to guard her secretly so that no one could follow her. This meant that her contract with His Highness King Qi continued to exist.

She is still his "outer room", so she has to take charge of any activities or banquets.

Well, she's resigned to her fate again!

He looked down at the coarse hairpin skirt on his body: "But I don't..."

"Come here..." Yan Tao called.

Kangtai came in quickly, "Your Highness..."

He raised his chin slightly.

Kangtai took out the banknote from his sleeve pocket and said, "This is the morning tea house's July tier. According to Mrs. Ji's contract, it is five thousand taels. Mrs. Ji, please take it."

Ji Rongjin was ready to return the property to its original owner, but just when she was disappointed and gave up, she actually got the layered item. She was shocked!

"But...but Your Highness, I haven't been there since the second half of July except for recipes..." She didn't contribute any more, how could she still get the first six floors?

Yan Tao stretched out his hand to stop it, "The morning tea house was started by you and used your management methods. You deserve this money."

There is nothing better than being recognized for your efforts. Ji Rongjin couldn't contain her joy and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness is really kind-hearted." With the banknote in her hand, she felt that her life felt more secure.

Kangtai smiled slightly and said: "The clothes and jewelry have been sent to Madam Ji's house. I would like to ask you to change them. We will set off in half an hour."

"good."

With money in hand, everything will be easy to handle. Ji Rongjin happily went home and dressed up to attend a banquet with King Qi.

Next door, Mrs. Guo sent away the clerk from the largest embroidery shop in Beijing, turned around and stood in front of the Eight Immortals table, looking at the table full of brocade clothes and jade, with a complicated expression, pursed her lips, and looked towards the door. The big yellow dog jumped happily to the door, she

He quickly ran over and opened the door, "Rong Niang, you are back."

Ji Rongjin nodded, "I'll go back to the room first." She wanted to hide the banknote.

Mrs. Guo looked at the young lady with a cheerful face, "On the table in the main room..."

"I know." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the young lady.

She actually knew that Aunt Guo pursed her lips and turned to close the door. Before closing the door, she leaned outside and looked around twice before coming in and closing the door.

Next door, Kangtai stood in front of his master and said softly, "Your Highness, how about tonight..."

"Those who should be most impatient are the most patient. What do you think we should do?" Yan Tao twitched the corner of his mouth, his face was like a jade, his eyebrows were black, his pupils were slightly bunched, everything seemed to be under control.

Last time, someone helped me with my complicated outfit. What should I do this time? Ji Rongjin stood in front of the clothes and was worried.

"Rong Niang, these..." Aunt Guo vaguely guessed something and tried to confirm.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi asked me to attend the dinner party with him. He sent this to me. Unfortunately, I can't even wear it. I don't know how to wear it."

Sure enough, she guessed it right. She didn't expect that the little master was so capable that he could go in and out with King Qi. She smiled happily and said, "Mom, I know how to do it. I'll help you."

Aunt Guo said she would, but Ji Rongjin didn't think much about it. She thought people in ancient times knew how to make these complicated clothes and jewelry, so she happily took her back to the room to help her.

When Aunt Guo gave her a beautiful lily bun with gold hairpins and jade hairpins, she really looked like an authentic little lady from ancient times.

"Thank you, ma'am."

"Rong Niang, you're so polite. I'm afraid that if you don't dress well, your Highness will be dissatisfied. If he is not satisfied, your life will be..."

"Auntie, you are overthinking." Ji Rongjin comforted her, "I may come back late tonight, so don't wait for me. If you feel sleepy, go to bed first."

Aunt Guo looked worried, "If I hadn't been too old, I would have gone with Rong Niang. It's really worrying."

It's always heartwarming to be cared about. Ji Rongjin comforted her again, "Don't worry, ma'am, I will be blessed even if I fall from such a high place and die."

Aunt Guo was not comforted by Ji Rongjin, and the sadness on her face became even stronger.

Ji Rongjin was so frightened by Aunt Guo's excessive parental concern that she ran out of the courtyard and attended the banquet with His Highness King Qi.

Last time it was night, the big restaurant looked so luxurious that it felt unreal. Today, dusk has not yet arrived, and it is summer again. The gorgeous and luxurious ancient restaurant stands on the bluestone roadside, more like a cultural monument.

Ji Rongjin followed King Qi like a tourist, looking around to the left and admiring the carvings and five-ridged eaves of the restaurant.

The guests in the restaurant are all richly dressed, with golden crowns and jade hairpins, and their status is extraordinary.

Ji Rongjin secretly thought, but it was still inferior to His Highness King Qi who was walking in front of her. Everyone she met took the initiative to salute him. She didn't even want to be the backdrop and quietly hid behind the tall and slender figure of King Qi.

If you pay attention, you won't be able to find her.

Climbing all the way to the top floor, there was a large open private room with several people sitting around the middle. Ji Rongjin had the honor to meet these people once, and they were all princes of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Yan Tao actually brought her to meet all the princes. Is it true that in the Great Xia Dynasty, it was popular for princes to bring "outside rooms" when they went out for banquets?

Ji Rongjin quickly glanced at the princes. Some princes had women with them, some did not, which meant they could take her with them or not, but Yan Tao took her with him.

Block what?

In the middle of summer, after walking for a long time, Ji Rongjin felt thirsty. Yan Tao sat down. There was tea and iced plum soup on the table in front of her... She sniffed and seemed to smell the fragrance of osmanthus.

August hadn't arrived yet, but there were osmanthus flowers. She quietly went to the table to find the scent.

With a smile on his face, Yan Tao nodded to the second prince sitting next to him, reached out and picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

The second prince, King Zhao, glanced behind his seventh brother, then looked back calmly, picked up the tea, blew on it, and sipped gently.

Yan Tao was lightly tapped on the back, and he turned his head, "Huh?"

Ji Rongjin pointed to the cup of oolong tea and asked softly, "What is that?"

He followed her gaze to the tea, where a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus dew stood elegantly on it.

"You want to drink?"

Ji Rongjin nodded sincerely, "The scent of osmanthus smells good." In fact, he was thirsty and made an excuse to drink tea.

Yan Tao put down the tea in his hand, turned around and handed the osmanthus dew to her, "I know how to choose." The corners of his mouth rose, and a touch of pampering overflowed from his lips.
