After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

Chapter 138 Encounter at Qionglou

After everything was settled, Yu Qingli asked Xiaoliu to go to the inn and bring all the luggage over. In fact, there was no need to bring any luggage, as the yard had everything, which saved Yu Qingli a lot of trouble.

In the next few days, Yu Qingli began to inquire about the prices and fabric market in the capital like a real businessman. Xiaoliu was also very active in making inquiries from various sources. In just three days, he brought Yu Qingli unexpected good news.

Seeing Xiaoliu's ability, Yu Qingli began to cultivate her. She also had the idea of opening Nishangfang in Kyoto. It was not possible to directly transport the fabrics from Jiangnan. After all, the journey was long and the cost would be increased, which was not cost-effective.

After much deliberation, Yu Qingli decided to cooperate with local businessmen to start this business.

These trivial matters cannot be completed in a day or two. Yu Qingli is not in a hurry. What she is most worried about at the moment is how to attract everyone's attention and enter the sight of the royal family at His Majesty's birthday banquet.

After much thought, he realized that apart from literary talent, what he was best at was music and dance. Why not use this as a bargaining chip to enter the palace?

Yu Qingli thought about it carefully. She vaguely remembered that in her previous life, at the emperor's birthday banquet, a music troupe became famous overnight. If she remembered correctly, the name of the music troupe should be Jinghong Music Troupe.

He immediately called Xiaoliu over to ask about this matter, but Xiaoliu was stunned. There were quite a few music houses in the capital, and a few of them were famous, but among the famous music houses, he seemed to have never heard of the name Jinghong Music House.

"Boss, are you remembering it wrong? I don't think I've ever heard of this music club."

Yu Qingli was stunned. Could it be that she remembered it wrongly? Or was it that after her rebirth, this music studio no longer existed?

No matter what the result is, Yu Qingli decided to look for it again. The previous flood in Jiangnan proved that things in this life are no different from those in the previous life, so Jinghong Music House must exist.

She vaguely remembered that when she heard that this music house was found by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, Murong Feng was very annoyed. He said that the royal music house was well kept and not used, but an inferior folk music house was used. The most infuriating thing was that this music house was also appreciated by His Majesty.

Thinking of this, Yu Qing once again confirmed his judgment. This music troupe must not be a very famous one. I'm afraid it is still very unknown at this time.

"Come on, Xiaoliu, let's go out for a walk!"

Xiao Liu was stunned. "Now? It's almost dark..."

"If you don't want to go out, you don't have to follow me."

"Absolutely not! Please don't misunderstand!" Xiao Liu explained hurriedly. What a joke, the boss's life was much more important than his own. Even if he lost his own life, he could not lose even a hair of the boss. This was a strict order from the higher-ups!

Yu Qingli laughed dumbly, "I was just kidding you, let's go."

Xiaoliu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and hurriedly followed!

It was almost dusk, but the capital was still bustling with activity. The setting sun was scorching, stretching Yu Qingli's figure very long. There was a constant stream of people around her, which made Yu Qingli a little dazed. She wondered if she was in a dream. For many days and nights after her rebirth, she was always worried that this was a dream, and after waking up, she would return to the cold palace like a prison.

Strolling through the bustling streets, Yu Qingli still couldn't understand why she had worked so hard in her previous life and given everything for Murong Feng, but ended up in such a situation?

Is that funny? It's really pathetic!

Yu Qingli passed by one music hall after another in a hurry, but did not see the one she wanted. As the sky gradually darkened, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Xiao Liu, I'm a little hungry after walking for half a day. Is there any place to eat nearby?"

Xiao Liu was already starving, but he was too embarrassed to ask since his master hadn't spoken. Now that he saw Yu Qingli asking, he immediately perked up, "Boss, you've come to the right person to ask about food. There's a restaurant not far from here called Qiong Lou, and the food there is the best!"

“Isn’t it also the most expensive?”

Xiao Liu chuckled, "Master, you're wise! If you don't like it, there's a small restaurant nearby. If all else fails, we can just have a couple of bowls of clear noodle soup on the side of the road."

Yu Qingli found that Xiaoliu seemed to be more talkative after following her. She had heard his soft voice before and thought he was a shy boy who must not like to talk. However, it turned out to be completely beyond her expectations. This Xiaoliu not only liked to talk, but also talked a lot.

But forget it. Thinking about the yard he had found for me before, which saved me a lot of money, it was worth treating him to a good meal, right?

"Forget it, how about the boss treat you to a good meal today?" Yu Qingli said with a smile.

Xiao Liu's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Master! Master, do you mean we go to Qiong Tower?"

"Yes, go to Qionglou."

So the master and servant set off towards the most famous restaurant in Kyoto. Just like the unparalleled status of Taotie Tower in Jiangnan, this Qiong Tower is also unique in Kyoto.

Yu Qingli even remembered Murong Feng's promise that after the big thing was accomplished, he would bring her to this Qionglou every day to enjoy the most famous Eighteen Banquets of Delicacies. At that time, she even joked that if she continued to eat like this every day, she would become a fat person and might even be disliked by him.

Murong Feng vowed, pointing to a plump woman who happened to be walking on the street, "Even if you become this plump one day, you will still be the most beautiful woman in his heart."

As a result, she did not become a fat woman, but became a prisoner, and even often went hungry. It was really ironic to think about it.

"Boss, boss, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Yu Qingli standing in front of the Qiong Tower in a daze, Xiao Liu couldn't help but ask her with concern, which brought Yu Qingli back to her senses.

Looking out, the Qionglou stood as tall as I remembered. The waiter at the door greeted us politely, "My two guests, what would you like to eat?"

"Give me a few simple side dishes."

Yu Qingli looked up as she spoke. The structure of the Qionglou was extremely special. The whole building was like a pagoda, so high that the top could not be seen. The unique spiral staircase made people feel as if they were really in a fairyland. Unlike ordinary restaurants, the hall of the Qionglou was not arranged with tables and chairs in a regular pattern. Instead, it was like a garden in a Jiangnan family's mansion, with a miniature version of small bridges and flowing water, which made the guests who entered feel extremely comfortable.

I have to say that the operator of this Qionglou is really smart!

Yu Qingli and Xiaoliu sat downstairs, waiting for the food to be served. However, a familiar figure appeared in Yu Qingli's sight, making her feel uneasy involuntarily, and even her body became a little stiff.

Murong Feng! Why is he here?

After a brief moment of surprise, Yu Qingli calmed down. This was the capital, so there was nothing surprising about Murong Feng coming to Qionglou for dinner. Moreover, it seemed that the purpose of his visit today was not just to have dinner. The man next to Murong Feng, dressed in black brocade and with a stern face, should be the current crown prince Murong Cheng.

Yu Qingli couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly. It was really interesting. How could the former Crown Prince and the current Crown Prince end up together? It was really strange.

But after a moment, Yu Qingli suddenly realized that this was nothing strange. His Majesty's birthday banquet would be held soon, and Crown Prince Murong Cheng was the host. How could the Queen, who had always been the master in the past, easily let go of such an opportunity? After much pleading, she finally agreed to let Murong Feng participate.

After all, they are all your sons, and filial piety is not exclusive to any one person.

I vaguely remember that Murong Feng seemed to have mentioned such a thing in his letter, and said that this was an opportunity. If it was handled well, they could take the opportunity to discuss their marriage.

However, seeing Murong Feng's hypocritical smile, Yu Qingli really felt a little disgusted. Fortunately, Murong Feng did not notice Yu Qingli's existence, and just hurried up to the private room on the second floor with Murong Cheng.

Yu Qingli suddenly felt that it might be a mistake to come to this Qionglou to eat, because suddenly, she had no appetite at all!

Just when she was thinking of eating a little and leaving, suddenly, another group of people came in at the door. Now, Yu Qingli really felt that it was not a good day to go out today.

The young men who came in were all dressed in brocade and jade robes, and looked very handsome. However, judging from their words and actions, they were definitely not people of good character.

Although these people were traveling together, one could still tell that they had different statuses. The leader was wearing a dark purple brocade robe, with a piece of high-quality ancient jade hanging on the necklace pendant around his waist. He had an elegant figure and a face that was charming and handsome, especially his pair of peach blossom eyes that were bright and suave.

Who else could it be besides Murong Yanhui?!

Yu Qingli, who was sitting facing the door, couldn't help but twitch her face under the veil. What kind of day is today? She met people she didn't want to meet.

She unconsciously pushed down the brim of her gauze hat, but then she remembered how Murong Yanhui could possibly recognize her dressed like this. She couldn't help but feel that she was being overly suspicious.

Fortunately, Murong Yanhui and the others didn't seem to notice Yu Qingli and walked straight to the second floor. From time to time, they could only hear the laughter of those playboys, which was really unbearable to listen to.

Some of the guests in the hall showed a hint of disdain on their faces, but it was only a fleeting look. Even if they were disdainful, who would dare to offend King Yan?

Murong Yanhui had a faint smile on his face, but he was actually fed up with such social engagements. If he didn't have to maintain his image as a dandy prince, he wouldn't bother to go out to eat with these people. If he had time, he might as well go and take a sneak peek at his Lili.

Lili?

Murong Yanhui suddenly stopped halfway through his walk, because when he glanced around, he actually saw Yu Qingli's figure.

"Your Majesty?"

Seeing Murong Yanhui suddenly stop, the young men around him asked curiously. Following Murong Yanhui's gaze, they saw Yu Qingli and her servant sitting downstairs to have dinner.
