The saint's voice seemed to carry a persuasive, enchanting melody."Your Highness, wouldn't you rather not kill the Crown Prince entirely"Li Yinhu's expression shifted, sometimes clear-headed and somet...Chapter 326: This Palace Will Treat You All to Baozi

The next day, by almost noon, Long Tiande and his son Long Huaiyu emerged from the inn.

As they had agreed last night, they would have lunch first and then leisurely head to the East Palace.

"Father, rest assured, if we don't go in the morning, the Crown Prince will inevitably be anxious and will definitely summon us to the East Palace today."

"Whispering to Long Tiandé, Long Huáiyù coldly smiled and said: 'As long as he gets impatient, then we'll have the upper hand.'"

"That's best."

Long Tiande nodded, feeling that his son was right.

As the father and son stepped out of the inn, they were just looking for a place to have lunch when Long Huaiyu looked up and saw on the opposite side of the street, in front of a steamed bun shop with a few tables and chairs set up along the sidewalk, sat a man and a woman.

He was strikingly handsome and had an extraordinary bearing.

Her beauty was stunning, unparalleled.

This couple, despite their ordinary clothes, simply sat there eating the most common steamed buns and drinking the most average soy milk, yet they naturally distinguished themselves from the surrounding common people, being utterly different.

Long Huaiyu frowned slightly.

Logically speaking, the capital city is filled with officials and nobles, and there are many people of extraordinary bearing. It's impossible to say which seemingly unremarkable person might be a descendant of a prince or nobleman, but this young man across the street, around his age, gave him a completely different feeling.

Unconsciously, Long Huaiyu took a step forward.

"This young master..."

Long Huaiyu made a polite bow, but before he could finish his words, Li Chen interrupted, "You're late. It's already noon now. The baozi shop only makes morning buns. Coming now, you'll only get a few that have been picked over and are just enough to fill your stomach."

At this, Long Huaiyu and Long Tiande narrowed their eyes.

Neither father nor son was a fool; they understood at once that the young man had come for them.

"We, father and son, have come from afar and are unfamiliar with this place. What business do you have, young master" Long Huaiyu asked directly.

"It's okay."

Li Chen said with a smile, "I'll treat you to some buns."

Saying that, he called the boss over. The boss immediately brought over a few thin and somewhat unattractive buns, and apologized to Long Huaiyu and his son: "I'm sorry, gentlemen, we are out of steamed buns, only these are left..."

"It's okay."

Long Huaiyu stared at Li Chen and said calmly, "This young master said that since he arrived late, there was naturally nothing to choose from."

After saying that, Long Huaoyu pulled Long Tiandeng to sit down at the table.

After the father and son sat down, Li Chen took a sip of soy milk and said lazily, "Having eaten these steamed buns, then returning to Xishan, the Long family can still keep the incense burning, but from now on, just be a wealthy man. As for the rest, don't even think about it."

When Long Tiandé saw this, his heart skipped a beat. He stood up immediately from where he had just sat down and stared at Li Chen, speechless: "Who are you"

Throwing the nearly empty soybean milk bowl onto the table, Li Chen said calmly: “What, you two father and son traveled so far to see this palace, now that this palace invites you to eat buns, you don't even recognize me”

Although he had a hunch in his heart, when the truth was right before him, Long Tiande was still incredibly shocked.

How could they have imagined that the crown prince of the Qin Empire, would be sitting in a steamed bun shop like an ordinary person, inviting them to eat buns

Long Huaiyu pressed down on the stormy waves that surged in his heart and said in a low voice, "What if we refuse"

Li Chen looked at Long Huaiyu for the first time with genuine interest.

The skin is good, and the appearance is decent.

But it's just annoying to look at.

Then die.d scrape together about five million taels of silver. Plus another million taels, if we approached the Wu family who cooperated with us on salt transport and said that the Liu family was willing to of...
