Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1551 - 346, Suspicious He Lienuo (Second Update)_3

This person, his identity is quite extraordinary!

Could it be...

Seeing Xia Zheng’s seemingly amused expression, Lin Yuan’s furrowed brows suddenly relaxed as she exclaimed in surprise, "Is he, could he be that person, that one?"

Which one?

At this moment, Shopkeeper Liu was truly bewildered, his head spinning. How come every time he was with these two, it always turned into a guessing game?

Xia Zheng raised an eyebrow, evidently very pleased with himself, and nodded, "Smart, my woman indeed sees right through with just a hint!"

At this point, Lin Yuan didn’t feel the slightest bit flattered by his sweet talk, because all her attention was concentrated on that person. She couldn’t help but ask, "Is it really him? The Crown Prince of Xiliang? Didn’t you say he wouldn’t arrive for a while?"

The Crown Prince of Xiliang?

Shopkeeper Liu, who had been morosely picking at his fingernails, suddenly looked up in shock. Good heavens, he had actually entertained the Crown Prince of Xiliang today and even called him a weirdo!

Oh dear, I wonder how well we treated him today, whether the care was adequate. If he offended this person due to inadequate care, would His Majesty the Emperor charge him with the grave crime of damaging diplomatic relations?

Ahem, after some thought, Shopkeeper Liu felt relieved again. Even if relations were damaged, so be it. With General Xia present, could their Dayong really be afraid of that Crown Prince of Xiliang? In the worst case, they would just go to war again, and fight until he dares not show any attitude!

Neither of them knew that in this short moment, Shopkeeper Liu’s mind had already gone through a tumultuous drama because their focus was all on the Crown Prince of Xiliang.

Xia Zheng nodded, also somewhat puzzled, "The Crown Prince of Xiliang, He Lianluo, is the second son of Prince Xiliang. Unlike Dayong, the heir in Xiliang is not necessarily the son of the Empress but is chosen based on whichever son is the most talented."

Lin Yuan nodded in agreement; it was indeed different from Dayong. Dayong usually appointed the son of the Empress as heir, but since the Eldest Prince died young and the Empress had become too old and unwell to bear more children, it had resulted in the current power struggle between the Second and Third Princes.

Xia Zheng continued, "However, when I returned from the border with Xiliang, the Crown Prince was indeed with the Marriage Alliance Team from Xiliang. How come he suddenly arrived on his own today? Could it be that he is not the one coming for the marriage alliance?"

There were too many things Xia Zheng couldn’t figure out, so there must be plenty of hidden schemes involved.

Regardless, the Crown Prince of Xiliang had already arrived in Dayong Capital City. If he doesn’t stir up any trouble, that would be fine, but if he’s uncooperative, then Xia Zheng would immediately report to the Emperor and have someone guard this fellow first and foremost.

Lin Yuan tapped her fingers on the table, murmuring in confusion, "Why would the Crown Prince of Xiliang come to Dong Tian instead of laying low in the capital city? Does he not know about your connection with Dong Tian?"

Indeed, isn’t he afraid of exposing his identity? It should be known that a country’s prince arriving soundlessly in another country’s capital city, if taken seriously, could lead to major incidents.

Xia Zheng seemed to have considered this too, but who could fathom the thoughts of that Xiliang fox?

He shrugged his shoulders, showing his teeth as he said, "Who knows what that guy is thinking? Maybe he’s just hungry and wants to come out for some food."

Xia Zheng’s understanding of the Crown Prince of Xiliang wasn’t very deep, so naturally, he had no idea whether that guy was a foodie.

Regardless, now that this chap had come, they couldn’t afford to take him lightly, especially since Yao Hanai had encountered trouble again. It was still undecided who should be sent for the marriage alliance next; so long as that fellow doesn’t cleverly whisk Lin Yuan away, all would be well.

After giving a few more instructions, Shopkeeper Liu stood up, ready to leave. But he had just gotten up when he smacked his forehead and exclaimed, "Oh dear, look at my memory. That Crown Prince of Xiliang said our Dong Tian dishes aren’t tasty, and mentioned that if he comes again, he definitely wants to try the dishes made by you, Miss. Tsk tsk, I wonder where this fellow heard that Miss is skilled in cooking, to actually covet Miss’s talent, how preposterous..."

Shopkeeper was rambling on and on, but Lin Yuan was clear about one thing: Dong Tian and Drunken Immortal Tower were the two biggest taverns in the Capital City, and now that there was a cooking competition, it was possible that He Lianluo had heard about it.

Lin Yuan nodded, then let Shopkeeper Liu go about his business.

Huai Hua, hiding by the door, promptly moved aside with agility, anticipating Shopkeeper Liu as he descended the stairs. Watching his retreating figure, Huai Hua’s heart was thrilled beyond measure.

That wealthy and cheerful young master was actually the Crown Prince of Xiliang!

She remembered that when the Crown Prince was eating in the main hall, he had smiled at her several times; such a good-tempered prince was indeed rare. If she could be with him, wouldn’t her future be as glorious as a phoenix soaring to the branch tops?

Huai Hua excitedly rubbed her palms, the pain in her hands seemingly forgotten as she envisioned herself becoming the Crown Princess Consort of Xiliang, and even imagined Xia Zheng and Lin Yuan kneeling before her, shouting "Hail to the Crown Princess Consort."

With a giggle, Huai Hua was so excited she almost tumbled down from the second floor.

On the first floor, Yin Xing and Shui Xian looked on dumbfounded as Huai Hua tightly embraced a veranda post, drooling. They both covered their faces and left in embarrassment.

This was just too shameful!
