Chapter 229 Don’t worry about him

Qianhuan asked the waiter to add a stool and a set of bowls and chopsticks next to her, and then she prepared to introduce the prince to everyone.

Du Shaoqing looked at the stunningly handsome man, and before Qianhuan could introduce him, he immediately stood up and bowed respectfully, "Du Shaoqing greets Prince An."

Qianhuan smiled and said, "Brother Du, so you know the prince. That's great. I don't even need to introduce you."

"Well, six years ago, Prince An defeated the Canglang Kingdom. When he returned to Beijing in triumph, the people of the city cheered and welcomed him in the streets. I was also fortunate enough to see the prince's true face in the crowd."

When Chu Lan'er and Chu Yichen heard what their cousin Du said, they were both filled with shock.

No wonder this enchanting-looking man attracted many sidelong glances from the guests as soon as he appeared in their restaurant. It turned out that he was the brave and warlike general God of War as rumored.

Chu Lan'er and Chu Yichen only felt that the man in front of them seemed to have an innate nobility that made people dare not look down on him.

It is said that General God of War is the most handsome man in the capital. Seeing him today, I can prove that his reputation is well-deserved.

Seeing that Qianhuan seemed to be very familiar with him and kept calling him "Senior Brother", everyone was very surprised.

Chu Lan'er and Chu Yichen also quickly stood up and bowed deeply to the prince.

The prince said expressionlessly, "No need to be polite or reserved, just sit down and have a good meal like usual."

The prince had a strong aura. Even though he told everyone not to be restrained, one of the people at the table was a young marquis and the other was a general who was the god of war. Both of them were people they could not afford to offend, so it would be strange if they were not restrained.

Fortunately, they had just played cards with the young marquis for a while and were already somewhat familiar with him, so they were not so afraid of him.

The prince was a serious person and everyone felt a little scared looking at his cold face.

A few people sat down carefully, and the originally happy atmosphere became a little silent.

Qianhuan was not affected at all. When she was at Mr. Fan's house, she knew that this senior brother was the kind of person who didn't talk much and didn't like to laugh and joke around, but she knew that the senior brother was actually cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Meng Yuanzhou was originally sitting next to Qianhuan, but the waiter added a seat between him and Qianhuan. Meng Yuanzhou, who was separated, immediately looked gloomy.

He was very unhappy. "Zi Yu, why did you come back so early after attending court today? Didn't His Majesty invite you to have lunch in the palace? Why did you have to come all the way to the restaurant to eat?"

"I stayed, but I'm tired of the food in the palace, so I came to this newly opened restaurant to change my taste."

"Then when did you become Qianhuan's senior brother?"

The prince still had no expression on his face, "A long time ago."

Meng Yuanzhou continued to check the household registration, "Since Qianhua calls you Senior Brother, then who is your master?"

Qianhua rushed to answer, "Brother Yuanzhou, my senior brother and I are both disciples of Mr. Fan, the chief priest of the Imperial College. My senior brother can be considered as half of my master. My riding and archery were all taught by my senior brother."

"But Qianhuan, didn't you just come to the capital? Senior Brother has also been in the capital. How come you are learning from him?"

Qianhuan was about to answer that they had known each other half a year ago, but the prince didn't want everyone to know that he had been away from the capital during that time, so he spoke first, "It's a long story, anyway, Qianhuan and I have known each other for a long time."

Qianhuan also understood that her senior brother had some concerns, so she chimed in, "Yes, Brother Yuanzhou, you and I have known each other for a long time. Let's eat quickly."

As she spoke, Qianhuan stood up, picked up a piece of taro and a piece of pork ribs and put them in the prince's bowl.

She smiled brightly, "Brother, this is the latest dish I developed, it's called steamed pork ribs with taro, try it and see if it tastes good."

Seeing how she took care of him, the prince couldn't help but curl his lips, "Yeah."

He picked up the spareribs and put them in his mouth, then tasted the piece of taro in the bowl.

The prince praised, "Well, the spareribs are soft and tender and easy to remove from the bones, and the taro is also fragrant and soft, very delicious."

"Brother, if you like it, eat more."

Meng Yuanzhou felt jealous when he saw Qianhuan only picked up food for the prince.

"Qianhuan, even though Ziyu is your senior brother, you can't be so partial to him. When Ziyu came, you moved his seat and served him food. Do you not care about your elder brother Yuanzhou?"

When Qianhuan heard the young marquis say this, she suddenly felt that he was like a child who had not grown up, and she said with a smile.

"Brother Yuanzhou, isn't that plate of taro spareribs placed in front of you?"

Meng Yuanzhou was even more aggressive, "But Ziyu wasn't far from the dish, why were you helping him pick it up?"

Qianhuan patiently explained, "Senior Brother just arrived and is not familiar with everyone. I was afraid that he would be embarrassed to pick up the food for him, so I helped him pick it up. Brother Yuanzhou, please don't be so stingy. At most, I can pick up another piece of food for you."

Meng Yuanzhou nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay."

Qianhuan stood up and picked up a piece of fish. Meng Yuanzhou immediately smiled and handed over his bowl to take it.

Who knew that when the chopsticks were about to put the fish meat into his bowl, our prince stretched out his bowl to intercept it.

Meng Yuanzhou glared at him, "Teng Yu, what do you mean? This was given to me by Qian Huan. Why are you trying to steal my fish?"

"Cousin Meng, I remember that you are easily choked by fish bones. Usually, you need maids to pick out fish bones for you at palace banquets and at home. Today, you didn't bring a maid with you. I am concerned about you and worried that you might get a fish bone stuck. You should eat something else. I will eat the fish for you."

Upon hearing this, Qianhua said a little embarrassedly, "Brother Yuanzhou, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you would easily get stuck in fish bones when eating fish."

Meng Yuanzhou was a little angry. Although it was true that he was prone to getting stuck with fish bones when eating fish, Qianhuan had picked the fish for him and he wanted to eat it even if it choked him to death. But who knew that Zi Yu would ruthlessly reveal his privacy and snatch his fish.

Qianhuan then said, "Brother Yuanzhou, tell me which dish you want to eat? I'll pick it up for you again."

Meng Yuanzhou was delighted and was about to tell Qianhuan what dishes he liked.

Unexpectedly, the prince pushed Qianhuan down on his seat and interrupted Meng Yuanzhou.

"Qianhuan, just sit down and eat by yourself. He has hands, so don't worry about him."

Meng Yuanzhou was about to get angry at the prince when the prince spoke again.

"Qianhuan, you don't have to take care of us. Eat quickly. The food won't taste good if it gets cold."

Just this one sentence made Meng Yuanzhou shut up obediently. If he continued to insist, it would seem that he was inconsiderate to Qianhuan.

The three people on the opposite side looked at the situation in front of them, and they knew what was going on.

These two prominent figures in the capital are probably both attracted to Qianhuan. Only the young marquis is too careless to realize that the prince is his rival in love.

Chu Yichen couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He didn't expect that the arrival of a little marquis was not enough, and even the God of War General came to join in the fun.

Chu Yichen looked at the tall and slender man sitting opposite him, whose face looked like a piece of jade. His skin was fair and smooth, and his face was so delicate that there was not a single flaw, as if he was a god who had descended to the earth.

The more Chu Yichen read on, the more inferiority he felt.

Originally, only the young marquis was pursuing Qianhuan, and Chu Yichen still wanted to struggle.

But now that he had met such an excellent opponent as the Crown Prince, he no longer even had the will to struggle and could only surrender silently in his heart.

Chu Lan'er turned her head and glanced at her brother who was sitting next to her. She could feel that her brother's mood had been a little low since the Young Master came in and sat down.

She thought that her brother must have seen the reality and understood the gap between himself and the young marquis and the prince.

Although Chu Lan'er really wanted Qianhuan to be her sister-in-law, now there were two such outstanding men who liked her. As a friend, she could only wish her to find the most satisfactory husband.

As for her own brother, she could only go back and comfort him.
