Reborn as a prince, achieve the pinnacle of power

As the lights come on, Jinan's old streets are shrouded in a soft golden light, as if the brush of time has gently painted on the ancient streets, adding a bit of warmth and tranquility.

The ancient buildings look even more vicissitudes under the light, the bluestone-paved streets reflect spots of light, and each stone slab seems to tell a story of history.

The scenes of small bridges, flowing water and houses are particularly moving in the night. The gurgling water and the lights complement each other, as if it is an ancient piece of music, gently echoing in the night sky.

The shops along the street hung red lanterns, and the light shone through the paper windows onto the street, creating an antique atmosphere.

Courtyard restaurant.

Young Master Chu, who had just arrived, raised his hand from time to time to check the time, with a hint of anxiety between his brows.

"Son, come and sit down!"

Qin Qing pursed her lips and looked at Young Master Chu who was standing at the door of the hall and waved.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

Young Master Chu first looked up at the door, then walked over to his mother, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"After meeting Yitong's parents, my work in Jicheng is done. I will have lunch with your aunt and her family tomorrow at noon and return to Beijing in the afternoon."

Qin Qing smiled and looked lovingly at his son who he hadn't seen for almost three months: "What about you? How are you going to plan your time before the New Year? When will you return to the capital?"

"me……"

Young Master Chu stroked his chin, frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "Since we are in Jicheng, I plan to accompany Yitong for two days and return to Beijing on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month."

Qin Qing smiled and said, "Okay, as long as we can rush home to have the New Year's Eve dinner."

"That's it..."

Young Master Chu's eyes flickered, and he smiled: "Then I'm going to go to Chang City..."

"Okay, go see the little deer and wish his parents a happy new year in advance."

Qin Qing looked like a mother who knew her son best: "You can also go to the orphanage and take a look. Don't worry about the New Year's goods. The Sujiang branch will send them regularly every year."

"it is good!"

Young Master Chu smiled and said, "Mom is really thoughtful."

"Fortunately, I didn't get late despite my haste."

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Qin Hao, who had arrived before the voice, walked in with a smile on his face: "It would be impolite if you are late."

"uncle!"

In private, and with his mother beside him, Young Master Chu's attitude towards Qin Hao softened a lot. He smiled and said, "Come on, sit down. It's been a while since I last drank with you. I'll drink a few more glasses with you tonight."

"it is good!"

Young Master Chu's attitude made Qin Hao feel relieved. He immediately felt relieved and his face instantly turned red. He smiled and teased his nephew:

"However, the person you need to take care of tonight is not me, but your future Lord Taishan... As for me... we are family, and I am available anytime."

……

"Dad, Mom! We're here."

At the entrance of the courtyard restaurant, Li Yitong said in a sweet voice with a face as beautiful as a flower.

"Then let's go in quickly."

Mr. Li, who was wearing a suit and polished leather shoes, swallowed the saliva in his mouth and rubbed his slightly sweaty palms.

Li Yitong's smiling eyes did not miss Mr. Li's nervousness. He reached out and gently held his father's hand, and gently comforted him: "Dad, relax. Yuchen and Aunt Qin are very nice people and will not put pressure on you."

"I know. I'm not nervous. I'm just a little excited."

Father Li explained, took two deep breaths, adjusted his mood, and smiled: "Let's go."

The family of three quickly tidied their appearance and then walked into the courtyard restaurant.

As soon as they walked in, Qin Qing's assistant came up to greet them, bowed slightly and said politely: "Uncle and aunt, thank you for your hard work, please come in!"

"Thank you!"

After politely thanking the assistant, Li Yitong introduced the assistant's identity to his parents.

The family was led by the assistant through the quaint corridor and arrived at the lobby door.

Mother Li looked at all this and couldn't help but sigh: "The environment here is really good.

Li Yitong smiled and said nothing.

In the restaurant, Young Master Chu and his companions had been waiting for a long time. When Li Yitong and his family of three walked into the restaurant, Young Master Chu and his companions immediately stood up to greet them.

"Hello, uncle and aunt, I am Chu Yuchen!" Young Master Chu was wearing a neat military uniform, looking heroic and dignified.

He saluted Mr. and Mrs. Li with a standard military salute and greeted them warmly.

"Hello, General Chu!"

Father Li looked at the golden beans on Mr. Chu's shoulder that were shining with golden light under the soft light, and he was inexplicably excited. The blood of the old soldier instantly awakened, and he returned a military salute to his future son-in-law.

"Uncle and aunt, just call me Yuchen."

Young Master Chu was stunned for a moment, then responded politely.

"Mom and Dad, this is Aunt Qin, Yuchen's mother."

"This is Governor Qin, Yuchen's uncle."

Li Yitong introduced his parents generously, and then introduced his own parents to Qin Qing and his sister.

After some pleasantries, everyone took their seats.

Soon, the assistant led the waiter to place exquisite dishes on the table.

The ladies drank red wine, while the men sampled white wine!

The assistant poured wine for everyone, bowed slightly, and quickly led the waiters out and closed the door.

"Two relatives!"

As the man's parent, Qin Qing stood up, picked up her wine glass, and looked at Li's father and mother with a smile, her tone full of kindness and respect:

"First of all, on behalf of our family, I would like to warmly welcome you!

Yuchen's father was unable to come in person due to his busy work, so he asked me to apologize to you and convey his greetings.

Here, I would like to offer a toast to you two to express our family's gratitude to you. Thank you for raising such an excellent and kind daughter and letting her become a member of our Chu family."

As soon as Qin Qing finished speaking, Li's father and mother stood up quickly, their faces full of smiles. They carefully raised their wine glasses, gestured to Qin Qing, and then gently clinked their glasses.

Father Li's voice was a little hoarse, but full of joy: "My mother-in-law is so polite. It is a blessing for Yitong to meet Yuchen, and it is also a blessing for our whole family. This glass of wine should be toasted to you by me!" After that, he drank the wine in the glass.

Qin Qing smiled and responded gently: "We are all family, there is no need to be so polite. It is fate that the children can meet and know each other. I hope they can always support each other and create a better future together."

"Haha, in that case, let's raise our glasses together and wish Yuchen and Yitong happiness!" Qin Hao also stood up with a smile on his face, picked up the glass in front of him, and enthusiastically invited everyone to raise their glasses together.

"Okay, let's drink together!"

Young Master Chu and Li Yitong stood up with joy on their faces and raised their glasses. For a moment, the whole box was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in their glasses.
