One is deliberately praising, the other is truly admiring. Could it be that all the news that has reached the capital in recent years is false?

The title of the world's top scholar was only gained through flattery.

"Mr. Ouyang, you didn't just happen to pass by that street. You came here specifically to look for me, didn't you?"

Mu Yunchen said this almost in a firm tone.

Although the road just now was indeed the shortest from the Governor's Mansion to Hongxiu Tianxiang, it was obviously not through the street just now from Hongxiu Tianxiang to Ouyang Xuan's residence.

In other words, Ouyang Xuan did not send Lan Yi back at all, and he had been following Qingning since he took her out of the house.

I watched them come out of the teahouse, and then go into the snack shop and rouge shop before they appeared.

Hearing this, Ouyang Xuan curled his lips. How could his smile at this moment look like that of a young man?

It's clearly a fox.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a smart man."

Mu Yunchen snorted coldly. If he couldn't even realize this, then he, the prince, would have been killed long ago.

"Tell me, what does Mr. Ouyang want from me?"

Ouyang Xuan didn't care about Mu Yunchen's arrogance. After all, capable people always have a temper.

What's more, he is just a commoner, and the person in front of him is the future crown prince of Mu Kingdom. How could he have the qualifications to care about anything?

"Mr. Yun, please try this bowl of wontons. How does it taste compared to the delicacies from land and sea?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the bowl of wontons in front of Mu Yunchen.

Mu Yunchen glanced at Ouyang Xuan suspiciously, then tasted the wontons, and they were indeed delicious.

But how can wontons compare with delicacies from land and sea?

“It tastes pretty good.”

Ouyang Xuan continued to ask: "Mr. Yun, what do you think of this shop compared to the other luxurious shops that Your Highness has visited before?"

How can this be compared?

Although it cannot be said to be prejudice, some princes and nobles may never have eaten at street stalls in these alleys in their lives.

"Of course there is no comparison."

Ouyang Xuan was not in a hurry and continued to ask.

"So what's the location of this store?"

Seeing that he was beating around the bush and never speaking directly, Mu Yunchen began to feel a little impatient.

"Nonsense, you've been leading me and my wife around in circles..."

Halfway through his words, Mu Yunchen suddenly stopped, realized something, and turned to look at Ouyang Xuan.

Ouyang Xuan also met Mu Yunchen's gaze with a smile, without any trace of cowardice in his eyes.

If his behavior just now had happened to the officials around him, he would probably have been charged with disrespect.

But he is gambling.

I'm betting that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a sensible person.

I'm betting that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a man of great intelligence.

Needless to say, he won the bet.

Mu Peiyun had already noticed that the atmosphere between the two was not right, but he couldn't say anything. Matters between men should be resolved by men.

Moreover, she believed that His Highness had the ability to convince Mr. Ouyang that he was a reliable and trustworthy person.

Mu Yunchen's face darkened and he asked, "Was this shop driven to this alley?"

Ouyang Xuan nodded and added: "Not only these, there are many other shops like this that have been driven into these deep streets and alleys, and some businesses can no longer continue."

True.

On the day they arrived in Fan Yang, there was a rumor that the prefect had driven away those small vendors in order to improve the public security in the city.

But these days, the problems of refugees and plague have been basically solved, and the only thing left now is to build the dam.

Yan Mingshi has been imprisoned again, and these small stalls should be set up on the main street again.

However, when he went out on the street today, Mu Yunchen was a little confused. Why was the street still the same as the day he first entered the city?

Only a few shops with their own storefronts were open, and there was not a single vendor hawking their wares on the streets.

It turned out that although Yan Mingshi was arrested, those people who had their own shops and the people behind them were fine.

With those luxuriously decorated shops around, how could these small vendors dare to move out?

Those with bad business will have to close down, but this wonton stall has good food and still has a few regular customers coming in.

Others naturally couldn’t continue to operate and had to close their stores.

Interesting, this Fanyang City is really interesting.

On the surface, it is a place where scholars gather, but in fact it has been divided into two factions.

One school is headed by Situ Qingshan, a group of literati and poets, but in fact it is just a false reputation that is boasted about.

One is the rising star headed by Ouyang Xuan, representing the lower-class people in this city.

Mu Yunchen was lost in thought for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he saw Ouyang Xuan staring at his Crown Princess.

His face darkened instantly. Look again?

He shouted very unfriendly: "Ouyang Xuan, this is my wife."

This sound startled Ouyang Xuan and Mu Peiyun. They looked over at the same time and saw Mu Yunchen with a dark face, as if he wanted to eat someone.

Mu Peiyun suddenly seemed to understand the reason why Mu Yunchen and Mr. Ouyang were not getting along.

Because, her Highness... is jealous.

It turns out that the arrogant prince was jealous one day. Mu Peiyun felt sweet in her heart.

Ouyang Xuan felt that his behavior just now was a bit offensive, and when he saw Mu Yunchen's expression, he immediately understood.

He lowered his head and coughed a few times before explaining: "Mr. Yun, please don't misunderstand me. I just think Madam Yun looks a lot like an old friend."

Mu Yunchen glanced at Ouyang Xuan, obviously not believing him. Did you make up this old friend?

But how could a proud and arrogant man like Mu Yunchen ask such a low-class question?

Anyway, Qingning is his now, and no one can take her away from him.

Both of them felt a little awkward for a moment and kept their mouths shut. Mu Peiyun watched Mu Yunchen's awkward look from the side and was very happy.

After about half a moment, Ouyang Xuan couldn't sit still anymore.

Suddenly, he said, "Mr. Yun, I am attracted to Miss Lan Yi and I will marry her in this life."

Mu Yunchen almost choked on the soup he had just drunk. His eyes turned red from holding it in, and he looked at Ouyang Xuan with resentment.

"so what?"

So don't even think about marrying Lan Yina into your family. Aren't you and the Crown Princess getting along just fine?

But like Mu Yunchen, Ouyang Xuan also has his own pride, and he would never say such words out loud.

"So, I will marry her sooner or later."

Mu Yunchen wiped the corner of his mouth and asked: "Does Lan Yi know?"

Ouyang Xuan heard these words, coupled with the choking look on Mu Yunchen's face just now.

Ouyang Xuan felt that Mu Yunchen was determined to fight for Lan Yi, and he felt uneasy.

He was just a poor young man. How could he be compared with the prince? How could he possibly win?

For some reason, Ouyang Xuan always felt a pang of sadness in his heart, especially when he looked at Mu Yunchen's face.

It's like punching cotton, you're tired, but the other person is just bitten by a mosquito.

The two of them were like this, one suspected that the other was coveting his sweetheart, and both had gloomy faces.

Apart from this incident, they get along pretty well.
