Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!

As they were talking, the sound of a carriage turning was heard outside the door.

She specially invited a gardener to cultivate a pond of lotus flowers, which she planned to plant next to the restaurant. Now is the flowering season, which will add a bit of elegance!

The gardener parked the car in front of the restaurant and said, "It's best to plant the lotus when the weather is not too hot. Now or in the morning will do."

"Then let's plant it now!" Shen Mengyao made the decision.

The gardener was a little embarrassed: "Sir, you want too many things. I can't plant them all by myself. You need to ask a few people to help you plant them as soon as possible. Please let me come in the morning or evening, when everyone else is asleep."

Afraid that these things coming in and out during the day would disturb the guests, Shen Mengyao specially booked it for the night. She didn't expect this to happen. She originally wanted to call a few waiters to help, but seeing that they were almost exhausted after wiping the tables, she had no choice but to say.

"Then let me help you. You take the things to the backyard first!"

The gardener responded and left with the cart. When Shen Mengyao was about to change her clothes and go to work, a customer came up to her.

"My host is going to host a dinner party tomorrow and has specially booked a large private room. Let me take a look."

Shen Mengyao looked up and felt that the man looked familiar, as if she had seen him before.

She only pondered and soon recognized it. Wasn't this the wooden falcon beside the eldest prince? She had met him once in the teahouse last time.

However, she had disguised herself well today, and he didn't seem to recognize her, so she smiled and said, "Of course, there is no reservation yet, sir, why don't you go up and choose one."

Mu Falcon went up to take a look and decided, "We'll have the best box! Tomorrow, the menu will be delivered in the evening. My host is hosting a banquet, so everything must be perfect. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Shen Mengyao nodded in agreement.

The eldest prince seemed to have some intention to get close to her before, and she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional this time, but since she was opening a business, everyone who came was a guest! She would not deliberately offend others!

After he finished speaking, Xiao Qi also finished his calculations: "Second Master... I see that we are a bit short of manpower today, should we hire more people?"

Shen Mengyao thought for a moment and said, "That's true. Don't worry about it. I'll find it!"

"Okay!" Xiao Qi nodded: "Then I will plant flowers with you!"

Planting lotus is not so easy, you have to go into the water, the gardener has rolled up his sleeves and gone into the water, burying the lotus seeds on the cart little by little in the mud on the shallows near the bank.

The water flow here is not strong, so I specifically asked people if it would wash away the lotus seeds, so I chose to plant them directly by the river.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi immediately stopped him: "This is too bitter, you should stay on the shore."

"It's okay!" Shen Mengyao rolled up her sleeves and went into the water barefoot. The river water was a little cold at night, but fortunately the water on the shore was only knee-deep and not dangerous.

She imitated the gardener and buried the lotus roots in the mud at the bottom of the river.

Xiao Qi also jumped in, and the splashing water splashed onto Shen Mengyao.

Xiao Qi was so scared that Shen Mengyao shook the water off her face and said with a wicked smile: "Okay, Xiao Qi, you dare to splash water on me, let me see how I will deal with you!"

She scooped up the water and poured it on Xiaoqi.

"Second Young Master! You can't be like this!" Xiao Qi bit her lip, looking aggrieved: "I didn't mean it, but you did it on purpose."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Mengyao slapped the water surface, splashing a pool of water.

Xiao Qi fought back a little, and in a moment, both of them were soaked.

When Xiao Qi was grinning, he saw Luo Chuan standing on the shore and said with a sneer, "I didn't know where you were all day. Now you're back, so I'll just catch you as a soldier. Come down quickly and plant the lotus flowers, so as not to delay the second young master from enjoying the flowers."

Luochuan didn't know why, but when he saw Shen Mengyao laughing and having fun in the water, the taut string in his heart seemed to relax. The first half of his life of wandering was over, and although the days here were simple, they were the happiest.

He jumped into the water all at once, like a depth charge, splashing a pool of water.

Xiao Qi didn't dare to be too harsh on Shen Mengyao, but he was merciless to him and fell right beside him with a plop, creating a huge splash of water.

Luo Chuan could only resist: "Alright, alright, stop playing around, it's important to plant these flowers."

Xiao Qi then gave up: "Fumble and plant the lotus."

It was done in a cup of tea, and when they got ashore, everyone was shivering with cold.

Cuiwei waited for a long time in the pool but did not see Shen Mengyao come back. She hurried to look for her, but found her playing in the water. She was shocked: "How could you..."

Shen Mengyao's smile remained unchanged: "Okay, Cuiwei, I have also been raised in the palace since I was a child. After getting married, I have to maintain my status in order to have dignity. I haven't been this happy for a long time. Just let me be!"

Cuiwei curled her lips and said, "You should also take care of your health. Come on, I'll go to the kitchen and make you a thick ginger soup."

"Remember to stay up a few more nights, and go back after everyone has finished drinking."

Shen Mengyao specifically mentioned the gardener, taking care of every aspect.

Cuiwei nodded, sent her to the private room to rest, and then went to the kitchen immediately.

After drinking the ginger soup, my body instantly warmed up.

Several people rode back in a carriage, laughing and talking all the way, and all the fatigue of the day seemed to be swept away.

There will be many distinguished guests tomorrow, so Shen Mengyao arrived early. After receiving the menu, she discussed it with Chef Li. Some of the dishes will require some effort, but they can be made!

Shen Mengyao handed him the menu: "Okay, you should follow the menu and cook it completely. Thank you for your hard work today. I will give you extra money."

"Boss, you are so kind. I haven't even worked for two days and you're already giving me a raise." Chef Li joked with a smile.

Shen Mengyao reminded: "This business is not easy. You have to do it well and can't make any mistakes. I give you more money because I want you to concentrate on it."

"Yes, now that you say that, I feel full of energy." Chef Li talked back and hurried to the kitchen to prepare!

The discount is still there and there are a lot of customers today. She looked at yesterday's account book and found that they were able to make money, but everyone was obviously very tired!

Today she brought a few maids from the mansion. Ever since Zhu and Li Junfeng moved out, these maids have been idle. They are very young and have been raised in the mansion since childhood, so it is not easy to send them away.

It just so happened that we were short of staff here, so we brought them here. They have no experience and can't do anything, so they can only learn here first!

After being busy all afternoon, she thought that the guests would arrive soon, so she asked Chef Li to get ready. As soon as she came out, Cuiwei walked over quickly and said, "Princess, Li Junfeng and Meng Yuehuan are here."

"Oh?" Shen Mengyao frowned: "Do they know that I opened a restaurant?"

Cuiwei shook her head: "It shouldn't be, they said to go to Room No. 1."
