Zhou Ying reprimanded the two managers and made them promise they would not mistreat the ingredients before letting them go.
Two days later, Grassland Taste Restaurant launched Pork Tripe Stew Chicken, a famous dish that combines pork and chicken. Many people immediately praised it, and the restaurant’s business returned to its booming state.
On the night of the 20th, Zhou Ying saw that Gu Chengrui was not in high spirits after he returned home. She immediately got up and asked, “What’s wrong? What’s not going well?”
“Nothing. Do you still remember the group of human traffickers we caught on the 15th?” Gu Chengrui sat down and asked.
“I remember. Is there a result?”
“Yeah, this matter has involved many things. Those human traffickers are genuine and specialize in recruiting talents for the various red chambers.
“However, it is not as simple as that for them to enter the capital this time. They were hired.”
“Hire? For the upcoming consort selection?”
“That’s right, and there’s more than one person involved. The Emperor has decreed that anyone who is involved with human traffickers, no matter who they are, will be exiled to the Northern Lands.
“Any women involved have their heads shaved and become nuns.
“Furthermore, all women within three generations of the clan would be disqualified from the selection.
“This time, the families of three officials were implicated, and the Emperor demoted them by three levels.”
“Well done. Those scheming and unscrupulous people should have their hopes crushed.”
“Indeed, if such a person enters the palace, the palace will not be peaceful.” Gu Chengrui reminded her, “I heard that on the 25th, the Princess of the Northern Continent will arrive in the capital with tributes.
“At the end of the month, the Princess of the Western Continent would also arrive.
“Tell the servants in the residence and the people in the restaurant not to get into conflict with their people. You can report it to the Emperor directly if it gets too ugly.
“The final result will be decided by the Emperor.”
“Don’t worry, I will.” When Zhou Ying said this, she thought of Gu Wanning in the palace and wondered if she had ultimately let go.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day that the Princess of the Northern Continent would enter the capital. Zhou Ying brought Guoguo into the restaurant early in the morning and found a private room to wait for her.
She wanted to see how the princess behaved and her temperament.
Not long after they sat down, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
The people from the Ministry of Rites who were waiting at the city gate came forward and said, “The son of the Virtuous Prince, Yang Zeheng, and the Minister of Rites, Qin Zhi, welcome Princess Zhi Shan, Sovereign King Ke, and the various envoys.”
“Thank you for your hard work.” Sovereign King Ke, who was walking at the front, dismounted and said.
“Please come with us. The official servants have been prepared. You can settle down and rest for a day. Tomorrow morning, you can enter the palace to meet the Emperor.”
After saying that, the two led the horses from both sides and mounted them.
“I’ll have to trouble the two of you to lead the way.” After Sovereign King Ke finished speaking, he mounted his horse and entered the city.
Behind him were more than ten guards on horseback.
Then, the princess’s carriage arrived.
It was a simple carriage, with just an additional frame erected on the carriage.
However, many things were hanging from the carriage. There were copper windchimes, beautiful leather, and some unique Northern Continent ornaments.
As for the princess, she was wearing a red riding suit with white fur and a red hat with white fur.
The princess was fair and beautiful. She had big peach blossom eyes, an oval face, and a high nose bridge.
She was a rare beauty.
However, because of their race, their cheekbones were much higher, somewhat ruining her overall beauty.
Then there was her skin color. Perhaps it was because she had been battered by the wind and sand; her skin color was a little darker and yellowish..
