Chapter 702 Are you deliberately picking a fight?
Song Family Teahouse.
Wu Yue'er found it strange when she heard Prince Yang praise the teahouse as special.
Teahouses are everywhere, what's so special about them?
Having finally managed to arrange a meeting with His Highness the Prince of Chu, they needed to find an interesting place. However, the Prince of Chu had previously refused the invitations of several princes, and only agreed when he heard that they were going to a teahouse.
She genuinely found it strange. What was so special about a teahouse? Why would she want to go to a teahouse?
However, when she arrived at the Song family teahouse and saw the lively scene, her eyes were immediately filled with shock.
She had never seen such a lively teahouse before, and it had everything for eating, drinking and entertainment!
The storyteller on stage drew cheers from the audience. She listened for a little while and found the content of the story to be really interesting, much more interesting than the ones she had heard before.
"I never expected their imperial city's teahouses to be so unique, so different from those in our dynasty."
Wu Jingshuo's eyes were also filled with amazement. He had truly broadened his horizons today. No wonder he had learned that the place was already full when he was outside the door.
If it weren't for their distinguished status and the fact that the teahouse had reserved seats for such important guests, they probably wouldn't have been able to get in.
Wu Yue'er nodded, "I've never seen such a novel place before, and the food they're eating looks especially delicious."
What's the difference between this barbecue and the grilled meat we usually eat? But it smells much better than what we usually eat, and there's also fried chicken, grilled sausages..."
Prince Yang smiled and said, "Princess, you are new here and have never been to the Song Family Teahouse before. Why don't you sit down and listen to some stories? I have already sent someone to buy some food. You must try the snacks here."
“Okay!” Wu Yue’er replied.
Looking at the bustling business of the teahouse and listening to the enthusiastic applause for the performance of "The Romance of the Western Chamber," Chu Junting felt that his wife truly had ingenious ideas.
As King Xiao watched this scene, a complex feeling swept through his heart.
Chu Junting truly married a wonderful wife; his good fortune is enviable!
Everyone initially thought that his insistence on marrying Song Ruozhen, who had broken off her engagement, would become a big joke, but who would have thought that after the marriage, countless people would envy him.
"I used to think that The Legend of the White Snake was the best story to listen to, but now that I've listened to The Romance of the Western Chamber, I find that the story is intricately linked and I can't stop listening to it either."
Chu Muyao's lips curled up slightly. She had been annoyed by Wu Jingshuo's invitations over the past few days, but out of consideration for the Qi Yue Dynasty, she couldn't just break off relations directly.
She was quite happy to come to the teahouse today, and happened to hear the next chapter of The Romance of the Western Chamber.
Soon, the snacks were served one by one.
The other princes had all heard of Song's Teahouse. Those who had been there before were naturally familiar with it, while those who hadn't were quite astonished.
"When I first heard about it, I thought it was a bit exaggerated, but now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I realize it's all true. The Song siblings are truly business geniuses."
Nowadays, in the capital, as soon as people hear that the Song family has opened a new shop, they flock to it like moths to a flame, lining up without even listening to a proper explanation.
Seeing her brothers' amazed expressions, Chu Muyao felt a surge of pride. Her sister-in-law and Fourth Brother Song were truly remarkable!
"Your Highness, do you like it here?"
Seeing that Chu Junting was now all smiles and gentle, a stark contrast to his previous coldness, Wu Yue'er took the initiative to inquire.
Chu Junting nodded, "I like it very much."
Hearing this answer, Wu Yue'er was overjoyed. It seemed that the King of Chu did have some goodwill towards her after all.
She had heard that the King of Chu usually treated other girls coldly, so his attitude towards her now was enough to prove that she was special.
When King Xiao saw that Wu Yue'er had asked Chu Junting this question, his expression immediately turned strange.
Even if Princess Qi Yue had feelings for her third brother, she should at least have found out the truth. This teahouse was jointly run by the Princess of Chu and the fourth son of the Song family. How could her third brother not like it?
"The story is interesting, and you'll want to keep listening."
Wu Yue'er's smile widened, "Why don't you try this snack, Your Highness Prince Chu? It tastes quite good."
Chu Junting noticed Wu Yue'er's attitude, then turned to Prince Yang and said, "Seventh Brother, try it and see how it tastes."
Prince Yang naturally noticed Wu Yue'er's attentiveness to Chu Junting. He knew that Wu Yue'er had been very aloof in front of them these past few days, and even though he had given her many treasures, she hadn't shown much joy.
In contrast, today, when they go to great lengths to call upon their third brother, their attitude has completely changed. That's the difference.
However, he also knew that his elder brother had no other thoughts about his sister-in-law.
If it were any of the other imperial brothers, perhaps such a possibility would exist, but before the third imperial brother got married, countless young ladies in the capital admired him, and the empress had arranged countless marriages for him, all of whom he rejected.
“Brother, the food here is absolutely delicious. I’ve tasted it before. Your Highness is truly exceptionally intelligent,” Prince Yang praised.
Upon hearing this, Wu Yue'er couldn't help but wonder, what does the delicious taste of the snacks in this teahouse have to do with the Empress Dowager?
Could the "royal sister-in-law" they're talking about be Song Ruozhen?
"My sister-in-law is truly a woman who can handle both the formal and domestic aspects of life. I fell in love with these snacks the moment I tasted them, and this storybook was also written by my sister-in-law. Isn't that interesting?" Chu Muyao said with a proud expression.
Wu Jingshuo then realized, "Could this teahouse be owned by the Princess Consort of Chu?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Yue'er's expression changed instantly, disbelief flashing in her eyes. "What?"
Then wasn't all her praise just now a compliment to the Princess Consort of Chu?
"It's not entirely run by my sister-in-law; it's run by her and her brother from her maternal family!" Chu Muyao said with a smile.
Wu Yue'er's face instantly darkened. She clenched her sleeves, her heart filled with displeasure. She immediately realized that the King of Chu's previous amiable demeanor was not towards her, but rather because she had praised the Princess Consort of Chu.
"I never expected the Princess Consort of Chu to be so amazing. This novel story is one I've never heard before. It's so intricately linked that I want to keep listening."
Wu Jingshuo had already learned from Chu Muyao that this Princess Chu was truly an extraordinary woman.
Not only is she stunningly beautiful, but she is also skilled in metaphysics and has first-rate cooking skills. Now, she has added another talent: she can even write storybooks.
Just from these sentences in the storybook, it's not hard to guess that her poetry and calligraphy were also exceptional.
Originally, I thought Chu Junting was a rare genius, but I didn't expect that his wife was also so capable. It's not unjust that he lost to this guy.
“I don’t think this story is very good, just average!” Wu Yue’er suddenly said.
Chu Muyao immediately said unhappily, "Didn't you just praise this storybook? Why does it sound bad now that you hear it was written by my sister-in-law?"
"Wu Yue'er, you wouldn't happen to have a problem with my sister-in-law and are deliberately picking a fight, would you?"
