Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 2038 - 2046: Ba Tulu’s Provocation (Part 3)

Wanyan Chao said, "Good, then drink this cup of tea before you go. I’ve let it cool down to the perfect temperature, just right at eighty percent hotness."

Bright Pearl listened, took the tea, and slowly drank it.

She was the legitimate princess of the Great Jin Nation and the only daughter of the current emperor, truly of Golden Branches and Jade Leaves. From a young age, she was diligently raised by her Imperial Father and Imperial Mother, hence her refined upbringing. When drinking tea, she followed the standard tea ceremony posture, even the motion of placing down the cup was gentle and enchanting, as if she was dancing.

When going downstairs, Bright Pearl walked side by side with Wanyan Chao, each step perfectly in sync. Today, she was dressed as a man; on normal days, when she walked, the earrings on her head would remain still, while the hem of her skirt would ripple like waves with her steps.

Downstairs, the audience watched in perfect silence as the jade-like young couple elegantly passed by, only regaining their senses when they were out of sight. Immediately, someone sighed, "Oh! The world indeed has such wonderful people, today I’ve finally witnessed it!"

"I really don’t know to which family these Young Masters belong; their looks are even superior to the top courtesans of the Ruyi Xianggu Pavilion!"

"Bah, what can a pimp compare to? They’re merely playthings for people. Look at these Young Masters, their clothes and accessories clearly belong to the noble sons of kings, nobles, and high officials. How can you compare them to a mere pimp?"

"If you ask me, maybe these two Young Masters are our Prince and Prince Fu, otherwise who else could possess such good looks? Their ages also match those of the Prince and Prince Fu, they might just be the Prince and Prince Fu out on an incognito private tour..."

"No, no, the Prince and Prince Fu are twin brothers, their appearances should be similar. However, those two just now differed by more than a head and didn’t look alike at all. They definitely weren’t the Prince and Prince Fu..."

While everyone was discussing, Wanyan Chao had already left the Qingyi Troupe with Bright Pearl and arrived at the famous Shu Dingxiang Tavern in the Capital.

The moment they appeared, they immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Wanyan Chao frowned slightly, took out a silver bill, and said to the shop assistant, "Go tell your shopkeeper that I’m booking the whole tavern for today. Ask him to clear the place immediately, and not a single customer is to be left."

The shop assistant took the 500-tael silver bill, his mouth agape in shock, and only after a long moment did he understand what this proud Young Master was saying. He carefully held the silver bill and rushed off to tell the shopkeeper...

Bright Pearl watched the shop assistant’s back and said to Wanyan Chao, "Just because we came to eat doesn’t mean we should drive people away, isn’t that not very good?"

Wanyan Chao knew too that this wasn’t right, but he had no choice. No matter where Bright Pearl appeared, she would attract all attention. He had racked his brains for the Gold Cicada Shedding Shell, to shake off Bright Pearl’s little uncle, and had spent days to finally arrange this meeting with Bright Pearl. In less than an hour together, they were overwhelmed by the gazes of the crowd.

It was rare to be alone with Bright Pearl, and he didn’t want anyone to disturb them, especially when he saw those men casting amazed or covetous glances at Bright Pearl, which made him feel very unhappy.

Therefore, knowing it wasn’t right to use silver to drive people away, he still did it!

"It’s already past mealtime by now, I suppose those customers have mostly finished eating. I’m just helping settle their bills to let them leave a bit earlier; there’s nothing wrong with that."

Chao’er explained.

Not long after, the shop assistant returned, grinning from ear to ear, and said to the two of them, "Esteemed guests, the shopkeeper has already sent people to clear the place. Please follow me upstairs to the heavenly suite. In a moment, I will introduce some of our special dishes to you..."
