Chapter 149 A Guest Whose Story Is Hard to Tell
Yes, yes, your thirst for knowledge has driven everyone away!
"Prime Minister, is there nothing you want to ask us?" Liu Mingyue asked him.
"Didn't Miss Liuyi say that our dynasties were all pretty much the same, so what's there to ask? But you are a princess, are you married yet?"
"It's almost time, we're already engaged." Liu Mingyue didn't hide anything and told the truth about her situation. She always felt that this Prime Minister was different from the officials here, not as pedantic as them.
"Alright, the title of Prince Consort is passable." The thought of his daughter having a crush on a man disguised as a woman is awful!
"I heard that this young lady has a son who has become a scholar. That's quite remarkable!" The Prime Minister looked at Old Lady Liu with admiration.
“Sigh,” Grandma Liu waved her hand, “It’s just that I’m doing my best, hoping that my child will be successful in the future.”
The Prime Minister looked at her disapprovingly. He understood how difficult it was for a peasant family like Liu's to produce a scholar.
"Although I am not very talented, I am still a top scholar. If your son has any problems with the imperial examinations, you can come and ask me," the Prime Minister said proudly, puffing out his belly.
"Oh, thank you so much, Prime Minister!" Old Lady Liu said, expressing her fondness for the old man, praising his kindness and understanding.
As for Li Mingyue, she didn't tell the other sisters that she had sold herself into the Prince's mansion. Lin Liuyi and the others still thought she was running a pastry shop.
The Prime Minister then encouraged her in a kind and gentle manner, and then looked at Ouyang Mingyue.
Ouyang Mingyue was staring at him expectantly. Her "one country, two systems" plan had run into problems. The people in the court were too cunning, and most of them, as people from the martial arts world, were straightforward and couldn't outmaneuver them. Luckily, someone who could navigate the court had arrived.
"Your Excellency, what should I do about this?" Ouyang Mingyue couldn't help but ask.
The Prime Minister stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then said, "Your plan is indeed brilliant, but the interests of those in the court are complicated. In my opinion, you might as well first win over some neutral officials and entice them with benefits."
Ouyang Mingyue's eyes lit up. "What the Prime Minister says makes sense, but what incentive can we offer?"
"There are many rare and precious treasures in this world. You can use these as bait. Then promise the benefits of future policies, and use both methods together."
After hearing the Prime Minister's words, everyone felt enlightened.
Liu Mingyue smiled and said, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister is indeed worthy of being a top scholar; you come up with this plan with ease."
"Haha, it's just a little trick." The Prime Minister waved his hand.
While the Prime Minister was having a friendly conversation with everyone, there was a knock on Ruan Ruoruo's door.
"Ruo Ruo, we need to go downstairs to see what we're going to make for dinner. Do you want to come?" The beautiful Le Qing called to her.
"Go, go." Ruan Ruoruo followed her downstairs.
Unexpectedly, there were already three people in the kitchen: a couple who were secretly dating and the man who was hiding his girlfriend, cooking together.
Here it comes, here it comes, the battleground of a romance reality show, the kitchen incident is about to unfold.
Leqing obviously saw it too, but she wasn't interested in men. Seeing this, the two of them tactfully sat down and watched the three people in the kitchen put on a show.
The young couple's boyfriend sweetly sent the girlfriend an apron, but the girlfriend's expression was not good. Then, the boyfriend flipped the pan, showing off his cooking skills, which attracted the girlfriend's admiring gaze. Well, now it was the boyfriend's turn to have a bad expression.
Ruan Ruoruo and the beautiful woman watched with great interest, and then the remaining three also went downstairs.
"Oh my, it's all three of you cooking! Thank you so much. Do you need any help?" This female guest was a classical dance teacher, and she certainly had an elegant air about her.
He pretended to be a handsome man and said, "Don't worry, we can handle it. A female guest with your kind of temperament doesn't really fit into the kitchen!"
This subtle praise made the dance teacher smile. The young couple were very affectionate, while Ruan Ruoruo and the beautiful woman remained expressionless, and the other boys' expressions weren't much better.
The food was ready quickly, but finding a seat was another problem.
Ruan Ruoruo and the beautiful woman didn't have any particular thoughts, so they chose seats next to each other.
The male and female couples sat opposite each other, while the man who was hiding his identity sat opposite the dance teacher. Ruan Ruoruo watched as one of the male guests, unable to win over the man who was hiding his identity, reluctantly sat opposite her. Finally, the last male guest sat opposite the beautiful woman.
She looked up and thought, "Yeah, I knew this dating reality show was no good. What kind of people are they inviting?" The male guest opposite her turned out to be a mama's boy.
Ruan Ruoruo fell into deep thought. Looking at the other person's large size, and if she remembered correctly, his profile said he was a fitness instructor.
Just imagining a grown man sobbing in his mother's arms made Ruan Ruoruo immediately shake her head and banish the disgusting scene from her mind.
Looking at the male guest opposite the beautiful woman, Ruan Ruoruo glanced at him sideways and saw him subtly showing off his wristwatch.
Sure enough, the next moment the young woman asked, "Brother Zheng, your watch is so nice! It must be expensive, right?"
"Hey, it's a Rolex, not worth much. The only thing is that the small diamonds around it are a bit sparkly, but you know small diamonds aren't worth much anyway, maybe around 200,000. As for watches, you can just wear them casually. I have a lot at home, and I always choose one to match my outfit." The male guest, Brother Zheng, casually mentioned the price.
Pah, you pretentious jerk. You said you'd have over 200,000 yuan? You're probably only worth 2000 yuan at most.
It's written in the book that this person loves wearing counterfeit goods and fake watches. That's one thing, I won't comment on personal preferences, but using them to deceive girls is unethical.
The young couple were filled with admiration after hearing what he said, while the beautiful woman glanced at it and gave him a disdainful look, clearly realizing that the thing was fake.
Having gained the adoration of the young couple, the pretentious guy became even more pretentious, starting to educate them about the brands of his home furnishings, which even attracted the attention of the dance teacher.
This made the young couple, including the man who had kept the secret, unhappy. They changed the subject and started talking about their studies abroad.
"Oh, I have a master's degree. When I was studying Economics in London, our teaching was really..."
"Ugh, Hawaii isn't fun. I usually go skiing in Haar... Hokkaido. The snow there is so white and beautiful..."
Instantly, the two of them drew the female guest's attention back to them. Ruan Ruoruo was speechless. Didn't she see that the beautiful woman's smile was about to burst out?
You studied in the UK and you teach? So your master's degree is worthless, huh?
There's another one. If she's not mistaken, the other person meant to go skiing in Harbin, and even mentioned Hokkaido. They must be out of words to describe how the snow is so white and beautiful.
