Chu Yanchen opened the door and went out.

Ling Xiao thought that he could finally leave.

But he saw that his own prince actually walked straight towards the private room of the third prince.

"Eh? No..." Ling Xiao widened his eyes. You can't eavesdrop, so how can you go there openly?

"Your Highness..." The third prince's entourage stopped people outside the door.

"Get lost." Prince Jing looked unfriendly.

"My master is meeting guests inside..."

Seeing this, Ling Xiao stepped forward and pushed the man aside without saying a word.

Although he didn't understand why his own prince was so domineering...but the prince wanted to go in, and as the prince's man, of course he had to clear the way for the prince!

When the people in the room heard the noise outside, they all looked towards the door in surprise.

Ling Xiao pushed open the door, and Chu Yanchen walked into the tea room with a sullen face.

He glanced around the room and saw the third brother sitting opposite a thin man.

Song Mingli lowered his head and stood aside with a low sense of presence.

"Drinking tea, Third Brother?" Chu Yanchen smiled wryly, "I saw you, so I came over to say hello."

When the third prince saw that it was him, he frowned as if he had a headache.

Although he is older, Chu Yanchen has to call him brother.

But who could have led troops into battle at such a young age, and with his outstanding military achievements, he was crowned king at an early age!

Among his brothers, apart from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chu Yanchen is the most prestigious!

When the elder brother sees him, he has to stand up to greet him.

Although he was very reluctant, the Third Prince still stood up politely and bowed to Chu Yanchen, "Your Highness Prince Jing."

Chu Yanchen didn't bother to be polite with him. As soon as he came in, he sat down in the main seat at the back, as if he was the protagonist of the day.

"Third brother, why don't you introduce this? " Chu Yanchen stared at Qi Liang with serious eyes.

How could Song Mingli pretend to be his servant? Who is this guy? Why doesn't he know this person?

When the third prince saw Chu Yanchen’s expression...he was also shocked!

No way?

Qi Liang had just declined the offer to be his aide, saying that someone had already helped him through the difficult times, and he had agreed to help that person with some business.

But Qi Liang refused to say who that person was... Could it be Prince Jing?

The third prince immediately narrowed his eyes nervously.

Prince Jing actually tried to snatch someone from him? !

It seems that the staff who recommended Qi Liang were right! Qi Liang is a talent!

But Prince Jing... isn't he no longer able to do it?

He can't even have offspring, and yet he wants to compete with his brothers over this?

If he wanted to fight, why didn't he fight for another brother's? Why did he have to fight for the one he liked?

The third prince became angrier the more he thought about it.

This Chu Yanchen! Why didn't he die outside? He fought with me as soon as he came back!

The third prince gnashed his teeth in hatred, but the smile on his face remained.

"Qi Liang, Brother Qi."

“I wouldn’t dare! I am Qi Liang, a small and humble businessman. Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness the Third Prince.” Qi Liang had already stood up and saluted respectfully.

Hearing the third prince introduce him, he hurriedly introduced himself with great trepidation.

He was being respectful and cautious, but in the eyes of the Third Prince, it had another meaning... As expected, he guessed it right!

Qi Liang was wooed by Prince Jing! He was afraid that Prince Jing would misunderstand him, so he was busy avoiding suspicion with him!

Chu Yanchen's gaze moved around Qi Liang and the Third Prince, and then landed on Song Mingli...

What is she doing here disguised as a servant?

Want to ask the third prince for a favor?

She doesn't ask me for help when she has problems! Why would she ask another man for help?

General Song was framed, and it was closely related to the Third Prince and his gang!

This stupid woman! She really pissed him off!

"Qi Liang, what do you do?" Chu Yanchen asked.

"My ancestors had some small pieces of land, which they originally used for farming. But when there was a famine, all the land was sold... My father learned how to make wine when he was young, and now he runs a wine shop..." Qi Liang bowed and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The third prince was standing aside, rolling his eyes in his heart...pretending! The people have been poached, and you are still pretending!

"Selling wine?" Chu Yanchen said, "I haven't heard much about Zhongshan wine."

"It's originally from Zhongshan and isn't very famous in Kyoto." Qi Liang bowed.

“Although it is not famous, the wine is good. All it needs is time and opportunity to become famous.” The third prince hinted at something, and it seemed more like he was talking about the person than the wine.

After saying this, he looked at Qi Liang deeply.

Qi Liang seemed not to notice his hint, he lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"Is this Zhongshan wine? Third brother, do you mind letting me try it?" Chu Yanchen said with a smile.

The third prince curled his lips, "Prince Jing has drunk all kinds of good wine..."

“I’ve never drunk Zhongshan wine.”

Chu Yanchen seemed to not understand what being polite meant.

Without waiting for the Third Prince to invite him, he opened the wine jar and asked someone to bring wine bowls.

As soon as the wine jar is opened, the aroma of wine fills the air.

"Well, it's aged wine, with a rich and mellow taste. It's well brewed and stored properly." Chu Yanchen said, "Pour the wine."

Ling Xiao immediately stepped forward.

Chu Yanchen gave him a cold look.

Ling Xiao was immediately pinned to the spot by his gaze... Hmm? His own prince disliked him?

"Pour the wine, why are you standing there?" Chu Yanchen glanced at Song Mingli.

Song Mingli: “…”

Oh, she has the lowest status in this room, so it is indeed her responsibility to pour the wine.

Qi Liang rushed forward before her and wanted to pour the wine.

But the Third Prince deliberately blocked him... The Third Prince was dissatisfied.

It would be fine if he just poached the people he wanted to poach! He even showed off his "guest-host friendship" in front of him. Lao Si was going too far! He wouldn't let him show off!

Song Mingli stepped forward and poured a bowl of wine for Chu Yanchen.

She put down the jar of wine and was about to step back.

Chu Yanchen looked at her with sharp and cold eyes.

Song Mingli was a little nervous... She knew that she had definitely been recognized by Prince Jing.

But she didn't know what Prince Jing was going to do?

Prince Jing won’t reveal his identity, right?

Facing Chu Yanchen's sharp gaze, Song Mingli hurriedly offered the wine bowl.

She winked at Chu Yanchen...

Those extremely beautiful eyes seemed to be saying to him: Please, for the sake of this bowl of wine, be merciful.

Chu Yanchen curled his lips, took the bowl of wine, and drank it all in one gulp, "Good wine!"

The third prince asked Qi Liang to sit down again.

Song Mingli retreated again, lowered his head, and had almost no sense of presence.

When the Third Prince saw that Prince Jing was coming to disrupt the situation, he could no longer poach people, but there was still hope if he could alienate them.

"By the way, do you know who sent the people who caused trouble in your wine shop that day?"

The Third Prince blew on the tea leaves and said, "According to the ruffians, they were sent by the wife of the Crown Prince of Changning Marquisate, Mrs. Song!"

"Cough cough cough cough..." Chu Yanchen was choked by his saliva.

Who did the third brother say was it?

Chu Yanchen glanced at Song Mingli out of the corner of his eye... Was he sent by her?

Qi Liang also hurriedly said, "There may be some misunderstanding here!"

The Third Prince continued blowing tea leaves and sneered, "What misunderstanding? Those ruffians confessed without waiting for torture... Oh, I understand.

"Prince Jing was quite close to Song's father, the late General Song. I had forgotten about this!"

The third prince put down his teacup proudly and looked at Chu Yanchen with a smile.
