Xiao Jingnan turned around and sent people to inform the guests room by room that there would be a distinguished guest at the inn that day, so they had to clear the place temporarily.
"We're really sorry."
"We'll refund all the money you've paid, and the innkeeper said that each of you will be given two jars of Jin Yutang wine from the Li Family Winery. Welcome to come again."
"Please forgive us for any inconvenience."
Xiao Jingnan repeatedly told them to explain to the guests in a nice way and apologize sincerely.
However, many guests were still dissatisfied.
It was the first day of the inn's business. They were all attracted by the publicity and came here specifically for a try.
Some of them had even excitedly changed their clothes and read the scripts they were given twice. Suddenly being informed that the business was suspended that day, they couldn't help but be very angry.
There were complaints all over the inn, and some people were shoving and pushing.
"Distinguished guest? Who the hell is this distinguished guest!"
"I'd like to see which distinguished guest can kick me out!"
"You're acting so recklessly on the first day of your business. Do you still want to do business in the future?"
The accommodation fee at Changxing Inn was not cheap. Those who were willing to come on the first day were either rich or noble in the capital. They were used to being domineering on weekdays, and no one had ever dared to treat them like this...
Being so abruptly kicked out, they were all full of anger!
However, when they stepped out of the inn and saw the iron-armored guards with shining swords and spears in the yard, they suddenly fell silent.
They glanced at each other, then went back silently to pack their luggage.
Then they obediently queued up at the front desk to check out, took the two jars of wine given by Xiao Jingnan, and quietly slipped out of the door.
Everyone was thinking in their hearts: Changxing Inn was in trouble!
Being surrounded by the officers and soldiers on the first day of its business, this was no small matter.
The people in the capital liked to watch the excitement, but they were also very sensible.
After being influenced by years of palace coups, they knew very well which excitement they could watch, which they couldn't, and which might cost them their lives if they watched.
In a situation like this, with the solemn officers and soldiers and the cold iron armor in the yard, it was definitely an excitement not to be watched...
In a short while, all the guests in the inn had left.
Even the crowd on the street outside was driven away.
Only then did the curtain of the luxurious carriage slowly open. A maid in palace clothes helped a gorgeously dressed beauty out.
The beauty was wearing a long, pleated dress of light purple soft smoke silk. There were lily patterns embroidered with silver thread on the cuffs. Her long black hair was coiled into a hibiscus hairstyle with a hairpin of pearls and jade.
Her neck was long and fair. There was a black jade pendant of Xuanshan Mountain hanging on her face. The water-drop-like pattern seemed to be falling but not really falling, making the large expanse of skin on her chest look even more fair, delicate, and full of allure, arousing people's imagination.
This was Princess Danyang of the Great Sheng Dynasty, with the appearance of a goddess but the attitude of a slut.
Princess Danyang walked out of the carriage gracefully, and her eyes swept over Li Wanming casually.
Li Wanming had been kneeling on the ground halfway, motionless, with only her back straight.
Princess Danyang sneered silently, then supported the maid's arm and stepped into the inn.
Behind her, Li Wanming slowly stood up.
There was an uncontrollable look of gloating on her face.
There was going to be a great show again~~
If it hadn't been for Xiao Jingnan's stop just now, she would have wanted to taunt Princess Danyang and ask: If you can't kill the person inside, what will you do then?
The princess's status was indeed noble, but unfortunately, in this world, she was not the only one of the highest status.
Li Wanming patted the dust off her knees and walked towards the inn cheerfully.
She walked those few steps in a haughty manner, like a big white goose about to watch a fight between a monkey and a chicken.
...
Princess Danyang and Zhao Yanke stared at each other, both stunned.
"How did you get here?!"
After the half-brother and half-sister stared at each other for a while, they blurted out this sentence in unison.
Zhao Yanke was the first to react. He calmly unfolded the folding fan in his hand with a swish, showing the air of an emperor, and said calmly in the face of danger:
"I... I'm here incognito on a tour of inspection. Why are you here, elder sister? Don't tell me you're here to have fun. I didn't expect elder sister to be in such good health. Aren't there enough beautiful men in your mansion for you to have fun with? Ahahaha..."
Princess Danyang stared coldly at her younger brother. The more she looked at him, the angrier she became.
In terms of being good-for-nothing and acting capriciously, this younger brother might be even worse than her!
But why did everyone always criticize her so much while being so lenient towards Zhao Yanke?
Just because he was a man?
Just because he was the emperor?
Also, speaking of beautiful men... She had just kept a few male concubines. Why did it attract so much criticism?
Wasn't there a shortage of concubines and beautiful women in Zhao Yanke's harem?
Why was his three palaces and six courtyards reasonable, while hers was considered promiscuous and immoral?
Why?
Just because he had a little more flesh on his body!
The more Princess Danyang looked at him, the more disgusted she became. She even wanted to twist off the head of this cheap younger brother and replace it with one that she found more pleasing to the eye!
"Yes, I'm here to have fun. Isn't Your Majesty here for the same reason?" Princess Danyang retorted.
As a princess, the palace rules didn't restrict her as much.
Under the feet of the imperial city, she could go wherever she wanted and play whatever she wanted. Who could control her?
Who would have thought that after hearing this, Zhao Yanke would look behind her and ask, "To have fun... Are you alone?"
Princess Danyang was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what he meant.
He was mocking her for having so many male concubines but not bringing even one with her!
A look of anger instantly flashed across her face.
Everyone in the capital knew that the princess kept male concubines.
Not only did no one stop her, but some people who wanted to curry favor with her would secretly send handsome and talented men to her mansion.
Some even recommended themselves as her lovers and tried every means to please her.
Princess Danyang never avoided this fact.
But she hated it the most when someone joked about it!
What was so funny?
Wasn't it just a woman keeping a few more men? What was so funny about it!
If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Yanke was the emperor, she really would have gone over and twisted off his head!
"Who else does Your Majesty want to come?"
There was a seething anger in Princess Danyang's voice.
But Zhao Yanke didn't seem to notice at all. He still looked around and said, "It's not anyone in particular. I just think it will be more lively if there are more people."
Princess Danyang's anger grew even stronger. She said coldly, "I don't know what kind of person Your Majesty likes. I'll bring one for you next time!"
Zhao Yanke waved his hand and said, "No need, no need. Those in your mansion are all too ugly. They don't meet my aesthetic sense."
...
Princess Danyang was so angry that she almost went crazy!
Aesthetic sense?
This illiterate idiot was talking to her about aesthetic sense!
This was simply an insult to her...
...
Li Wanming stood behind them, her heart full of joy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
It was wonderful.
It was really wonderful.
For a moment, she even felt that she had opened this inn just to watch this wonderful scene.
The emperor and the princess arguing face to face. This was a grand sight that many people would never see in their entire lives!
Xiao Jingnan quietly pinched her arm beside her and whispered, "Take it easy. The corners of your mouth are almost reaching the sky."
Li Wanming quickly composed herself and pretended to lower her head and ask, "What should we do next? We can't just keep watching them quarrel here..."
Xiao Jingnan smiled faintly.
"Since they're here to have fun... Let them have a good time."
