Outside the Haichao Restaurant.

Shangguan Xuanxi's words suddenly reminded Wu Maxuan that, indeed, for three consecutive days, most of the people who came here were onlookers, and few people came up to challenge him on their own initiative.

"What you said is indeed reasonable. No wonder I waited here for three days and didn't see a few people coming up to fight my servants. It turned out that this is the reason." Wu Maxuan said with a pout.

"If you don't change places, you're afraid that you won't be able to wait for your wishful husband after one month." Shangguan Xuanxi said slowly.

Wu Maxuan nodded. Shangguan Xuanxi's words were correct. Not to mention that most of the onlookers had limited cultivation, even if they were really capable, no one would offend Donglian King Wu Ma Jun in order to please her.

Thinking of this, Wu Maxuan raised her eyes and smiled at Shangguan Xuanxi, and continued, "Mr. Ye, thank you for giving me so many suggestions. To show my sincerity, I would like to invite you to have a few glasses of wine, right?"

Shangguan Xuanxi coughed lightly and did not give any answer.

Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Wu Maxuan added, "I am rarely so enthusiastic to outsiders. If you refuse again, it would seem too cruel and ruthless."

Seeing the other party repeatedly invite him, Mu Zichen turned around and pulled Guan Xuanxi's sleeve, and whispered: "How about we give this princess of Donglian Kingdom a face and go up and have a few drinks with her?"

"Well, as long as you agree, I don't care." Shangguan Xuanxi shrugged.

Upon hearing the answer, Wu Maxuan immediately smiled, "Since Young Master Ye and Miss Mu agreed, then follow me quickly." After that, Wu Maxuan excitedly grabbed Mu Zichen's wrist and went to the restaurant.

Shangguan Xuanxi paused for a moment, turned around and followed the two of them without any haste.

Soon, the three of them followed Wu Maxuan to the second floor of the restaurant. For this ring game, Haichao Restaurant has not been open to the public for three consecutive days.

Wu Maxuan chose a private room facing the street, and then ordered seven or eight dishes and three pots of wine in one breath.

While waiting, Wu Maxuan and Mu Zichen, who was sitting beside him, soon got into a chat, "This girl, you think you were about the same age as me, and you still don't know what you call me?"

"Just call me Chen'er." Mu Zichen continued with a smile.

"Chen'er? This is a good name. Is this your boudoir name?"

Mu Zichen nodded, "That's right, everyone around him calls that anyway. By the way, Princess Wuma, did you think of this way to seek a husband by yourself to attract marriage?"

Wu Maxuan nodded lightly, "My father only gave me one month. I really can't think of a better solution, so I can only come up with this bad idea."

Mu Zichen took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile: "When you talk about your father, I saw him before when I was in Beijiang King City. The feeling he gave me was not like a person who was easy to talk to."

"Chen'er, have you actually met my father?" Wu Maxuan asked in surprise.

"Well, I've seen it." Mu Zichen said without any concealment: "At that time, he and King Xijing went to attend the engagement ceremony of King Beijiang, and I happened to be there at that time."

"Chen'er, do you know King Beijiang?" Wu Maxuan was surprised again.

Mu Zichen nodded, "Beijiang Wang and my wife are disciples who were admitted to Jialan Academy together. On weekdays, we have a good relationship."

"So that's how it is." Wu Maxuan nodded in a clear way.

At this moment, the waiter brought three pots of wine and two plates of dishes. Wu Maxuan turned her head and signaled the maid behind her to pour wine for several people with her eyes.

After the wine was filled, Wu Maxuan first picked up the wine glass, then smiled and said to Shangguan Xuanxi and Mu Zichen, "I will first represent the Donglian Kingdom and welcome the arrival of Young Master Ye and Miss Chen'er."

Shangguan Xuanxi picked up the wine glass and smiled faintly, "Princess Wuma is so polite."

After drinking a glass of wine, Shangguan Xuanxi took the initiative to snatch the wine glass from Mu Zichen's hand, and then said with a gentle look on his face: "I know you can't drink, so I will do this for you."

Hearing this, Mu Zichen was slightly stunned at first, then smiled and said "yes".

Looking at the interaction between the two, Wu Maxuan couldn't help but feel envious, "Young Master Ye is so nice to Miss Chen'er."

Shangguan Xuanxi smiled, then turned around and asked about the marriage between Wu Maxuan and Qi Guanxu. "Princess Wu Ma, I'll ask you a liberating question, why does your father have to marry Qi Guanxu?"

Wu Maxuan frowned, as if she was unwilling to mention this matter, but due to the existence of the two people in front of her, she was not good at not answering, so she could only squeeze out a smile and explained:

"Young Master Ye and Chen'er don't know that Qi Guanxu, the king of Nancheng, and I were actually engaged three years ago. At that time, Qi Guanxu came to Donglian Kingdom to attend my father's birthday banquet. At the birthday banquet, he fell in love with me at first sight, but when I saw that he was a teenager older than me, I didn't take this matter to heart. I thought this matter would just pass, but I didn't expect that on the third day after the banquet, he personally brought a gift to my father with a marriage proposal, and promised that as long as I marry him, he would promise me the position of Queen of Nancheng."

"It's because of this that your father promised to let you marry him?" Shangguan Xuanxi took a sip of the wine in his glass and asked with interest.

Wu Maxuan nodded slightly, "I believe Mr. Ye should know that Donglian Kingdom is the weakest among all countries. My father probably thinks that only when I become the queen of Nancheng, can I better consolidate the status of Donglian Kingdom in the future."

"But you have been engaged for three years, why haven't you held a big wedding for a long time?" Mu Zichen asked.

"After the engagement, Qi Guanxu did not force me to marry him as soon as possible." At this point, Wu Maxuan paused and continued: "He said that he wanted to wait until the day I was willing to hold a wedding with me."

"Since that's the case, why do you want to compete and invite a marriage here? He didn't urge you anyway."

Wu Maxuan took a sip of the wine in the glass and explained: "This matter has to start with Xijing Kingdom. Since the princess of Xijing Kingdom married me to the general of Donglian Kingdom, Donglian and Xijing have been relatively close in recent years. Not long ago, Xijing Kingdom was destroyed by Qianling Kingdom overnight because of attacking the border of Luhai City. Because of this, my father was worried all day long. He was afraid that Qianling Kingdom would be unhappy one day, so he directly turned Donglian Kingdom into the next Xijing Kingdom. After thinking about it, he decided to let me marry the King of Nancheng immediately so as to preserve the status of Donglian Kingdom."

Hearing such words, Shangguan Xuanxi just chuckled, "Your father is really worried. According to his thoughts, wouldn't it be safer to marry you to a royal noble in Qianling Kingdom?"

"I refuted him so too, but my father didn't listen to my explanation. He thought I was just quibbling."

“…”

...

Just as the few people were chatting hot, a voice came from outside the restaurant.

"Xuan'er, you haven't returned to the palace even after half of the hour of the year? Do you have to ask me for it in person?"

The maid Dongxiang quickly poked her head out of the window and looked at it. After a moment, she turned to Wu Maxuan and said, "Princess, it's not good. It's the king who is here. In addition to him, there is also the king of Nancheng Qi Guanxu."

Wu Maxuan stood up with a "swish" sound, "Why did the two of them come suddenly?"

"Princess, you might as well go down and greet him quickly. If the king sees you drinking with strangers here, he will be even more angry..." said the maid Dongxiang anxiously.

Shangguan Xuanxi glanced at the two of them, then stood up, nodded slightly to Wu Maxuan, and said, "Princess Wu Ma, since your father is here to find you personally, let's drink here today."

"But I haven't talked to you enough." Wu Maxuan said quickly: "Let's do it, it's too late today. You three will go back to Donglian Palace with me. I'll send someone to arrange a residence for you."

Shangguan Xuanxi chuckled, waved his hand, and immediately refused, "No need, I'm afraid that your father will feel even more anxious when he sees me. Besides, it's too late today, and it's time for us to go back."

"But……"

Wu Maxuan was about to speak, but Shangguan Xuanxi had waved his hand to open a portal, "Today I thank Princess Wu Ma for her warm hospitality. If you have the chance next time, I will hold a banquet for Princess Xia and Chen'er to entertain the princess."

After saying that, he and the two of them disappeared directly into Wu Maxuan's sight.

Seeing the three of them leaving directly, the maid Dongxiang walked over in anger, "Princess, these three people are so rude. Princess, they are not grateful for your help to keep them like this. It's really outrageous!"

Wu Maxuan turned her head and looked at Dongxiang, and continued lightly, "Okay, Xiang'er, just say less. That young master Ye's temperament is different from other young masters. Although I don't know who he is yet, I can conclude that his identity must be not low."

"Hmm? How did you see it, princess?" Dongka asked in confusion.

"Didn't you notice that the young master Ye only had three words to call the King of Nancheng throughout the whole process - Qi Guanxu."

"What can this mean?" Toka said in confusion.

"Can't you tell me this? Qi Guanxu is also the lord of a country after all. When a normal person mentions him, he will add the three words "Nancheng King" in front of him as a honorary title, but Young Master Ye did not add it once. The only thing that can be explained is that Young Master Ye's identity is very likely to be above the King of Nancheng."

Wu Maxuan's words made Dongxiang realize in an instant, "Princess, if that's the case, then this Young Master Ye's identity is higher than our king?"

"Well, you're right." Wu Maxuan nodded, "Qi Guanxu is a five-star foreign kingdom in Qianling Kingdom, and my father is only a four-star foreign kingdom. If Young Master Ye's identity is really above Qi Guanxu, it must be above my father. No wonder he said just now that my father felt even more anxious when he saw him. It turned out that this is the reason."

Dongxiang scratched her head, "But I have never heard that the king or prince of any country is named Ye."

"You are such a fool!" Wu Maxuan glared at the other party: "If he really wants to hide his identity, how could he tell us his real name?"

“That’s right.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Majun's voice came from the stairs leading to the second floor on the first floor, "Xuan'er, why are you still rubbing? Why don't you come out for me quickly!"

Hearing the sound, Wu Maxuan paused for a moment, quickly tidied up her clothes, and quickly walked out of the private room.
