Feng Yuanchen settled her down, and then said to Sheng Zhiyao: "You have a good rest, I will ask someone to make the medicine and send it to them in a while, so you don't have to worry."

"Well, okay." Sheng Zhiyao nodded obediently and looked at Feng Yuanchen with soft eyes.

"Then you can take a stroll and I'll take care of things first."

After Feng Yuanchen left, Sheng Zhiyao began to appreciate the house, and then she discovered that there was actually a small garden here!

"Wow, this is actually a hole within a hole!"

Sheng Zhiyao ran into the small garden excitedly and found that there were many rare potted plants in the corner of the garden. They were colorful and beautiful.

"Mei'er, Zhu'er, you also know that this is the prince's territory?"

Sheng Zhiyao knelt down, fiddled with a pink flower, and then touched the dense pear tree, unable to help but smile.

"Miss, we don't know so much. Yuchen Palace is spread over a wide area and has a large business scope. Moreover, when we were selected by Bu Xing to be your secret guards, we were still training."

It turns out that this is the case. Sheng Zhiyao suddenly realized and asked: "Where is my brother?"

"It seems that the young master sent Princess Zi Chu directly to the palace."

Sheng Zhiyao nodded: "Are you going to see someone off so late?"

"The second young master was afraid of a long night and many dreams, so he was sent in overnight."

"Sure enough, it looks like my second brother's style."

Not long after, Sheng Hancheng returned to the inn alone, with a sad look on his face.

Sheng Zhiyao walked forward and asked softly: "What's the matter?"

Sheng Hancheng raised his head, saw Sheng Zhiyao, and immediately pulled her into a corner: "Zhiyao, I have something important to tell you!"

"What's going on?"

Sheng Hancheng approached Sheng Zhiyao mysteriously and lowered his voice and said, "Zhiyao..."

"Just ask them to come, are we, Shang Zhou, still afraid of them?" Feng Yuanchen came out of nowhere, with a strong sarcasm in his tone.

Sheng Zhiyao and Sheng Hancheng both turned to look at Feng Yuanchen, but the latter stood there with a magnanimous expression, his eyes as firm as an unshakable rock.

"You already know?"

"What are you two talking about?" Sheng Zhiyao blinked blankly, looking confused.

Sheng Hancheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Let him tell you! I'm going to rest first!" and then left in a hurry.

Feng Yuanchen couldn't help but shook his head when he saw his running back.

Sheng Zhiyao frowned slightly, and her doubtful eyes fell on Feng Yuanchen, who faced her without fear and looked at her.

After a while, Sheng Zhiyao asked lightly, "Tell me."

Feng Yuanchen nodded and stated the matter clearly and simply.

After listening, Sheng Zhiyao stared at him blankly and didn't respond for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Feng Yuanchen looked at her with concern.

Sheng Zhiyao suddenly smiled, as if the spring breeze was blowing, making people feel relaxed, warm and comfortable.

"I feel like the people in Xi Chu haven't inquired or they have some serious mental illness. Don't they know that their princess lost miserably at my hands?"

Hearing this, Feng Yuanchen smiled: "It's true. When you win, the envoy of the Western Chu Kingdom will probably faint on the spot."

Sheng Zhiyao shrugged: "So I'm not afraid of them at all. Is competition the characteristic of Xi Chu?"

"Well, they like to use their troops to crush their opponents. This also leads to the fact that Xichu's cavalry has superior combat effectiveness. They believe that only the strong are qualified to speak."

Sheng Zhiyao nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly thought of something again. She raised her eyes and asked Feng Yuanchen: "What are they planning to compete with this time?"

"Best of three rounds, decided by drawing lots."

"Oh, I understand." Sheng Zhiyao nodded, indicating that she remembered, but did not continue to ask questions.

It seems that she has already guessed what the project will be.

"Then let's go eat now, we're starving." Sheng Zhiyao stretched out, looking exhausted.

"Well, okay."

The two of them walked out of the inn together and walked all the way to the restaurant.

Feng Yuanchen followed Sheng Zhiyao, focusing all his attention on her.

They walked for several streets and finally reached the door of the restaurant.

As soon as I stepped into the lobby, I heard someone shouting: "Ouch! Guests, please come in. You are in luck today. Our store has launched several new delicacies, which are definitely worth trying."

"Well then, let's have four games!"

After that, Sheng Zhiyao and Feng Yuanchen walked into the private room and sat down, waiting for the dishes to be served.

At this time, the shopkeeper came in with a pot of tea.

"Girl, this is a new kind of tea. Once you drink it, you will never forget the taste."

Sheng Zhiyao looked at the shopkeeper and then at Feng Yuanchen: "Then let's try it and see if it's as magical as you said."

"Okay." The shopkeeper exited the room.

Sheng Zhiyao picked up the tea cup and slowly poured it into the celadon tea cup. The aroma of tea overflowed from the rim of the cup, refreshing her heart and mind.

Sheng Zhiyao took a deep breath, closed her eyes and tasted it carefully. After a moment, she opened her eyes and praised: "Good tea!"

"Well, it tastes really good." Feng Yuanchen picked up the tea cup and took a sip, feeling the sweet aroma and admiring it.

"But this is just ordinary tea! Why do you call it new tea?"

Sheng Zhiyao tilted her head and looked at him, her eyes bright and expectant, as if she was waiting for his answer.

Feng Yuanchen was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Well, why don't you try Xichu's ordinary tea first?"

"Ah?" Sheng Zhiyao didn't know why.

"Although the Western Chu Kingdom is small, its people's eating habits tend to be sweet. The ordinary tea here also has sugar in the tea."

After hearing what he said, Sheng Zhiyao realized that Xi Chu's tea was very different from Shang Zhou's.

"Also, this new tea must be the trade that the shopkeeper spent a lot of money on from Shang Zhou!"

After saying that, he raised his lips and smiled, with a touch of arrogance between his handsome eyebrows, as if he didn't bother to do business with these businessmen.

Sheng Zhiyao opened her mouth in surprise and didn't close it for a long time: "You actually figured out such details?"

Feng Yuanchen smiled modestly: "It's not worth mentioning, I just have a superficial understanding of it."

"Well, since Shang Zhou has something that Xi Chu doesn't have, then Xi Chu should also have something that we, Shang Zhou, don't have, right? Otherwise, how could trade be formed?"

Feng Yuanchen frowned slightly, considered it carefully for a moment, and then answered: "Xi Chu does have something that we don't have in Zhou Dynasty, and it's expensive."

"What do you mean?" Sheng Zhiyao was puzzled.

Feng Yuanchen lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "Xi Chu is rich in mineral veins and rich in various gemstones, so you will find that the houses in Xi Chu are colorful and luxuriously decorated, but in Shangzhou, they are rare.

, most of the gems were sent as tribute to the palace, and except for a few dignitaries in the capital who can afford them, it is estimated that no one can afford them."
