Chapter 216: Like a Dream
When Gan Luo learned of this news, he must have decided to go there to see what kind of trouble they were up to.
Upon arriving at this restaurant, they were surprised to find that all these people had gathered there. When the Prime Minister and his entourage saw Gan Luo's arrival, they were all astonished.
None of them had ever imagined that Gan Luo would be staying in this place; it was as if they were in a dream.
"Why would Her Highness the Princess be here all of a sudden? It's quite surprising. Also, isn't this restaurant rarely frequented by officials from the imperial court? Why would Gan Luo be here?"
They were discussing in hushed tones, but Gan Luo overheard everything they were talking about, while pretending to know nothing. "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence to see you here. It's quite surprising, actually. I just suddenly had a craving for this restaurant's food. Anyway, I've been staying in this princess's residence for a while, so I came here myself out of boredom."
They all bowed respectfully to Gan Luo, and the common people around them realized that the person in front of them was a princess.
Some of the common people were discussing what kind of princess this was.
"I seem to remember that the person in front of me is the eldest princess, that is, the emperor's sister. My goodness, the princess would actually come to this restaurant to eat..."
The surrounding common people all knelt down on the ground with a thud. Gan Luo was quite surprised that they would bow to him on the ground. He then gestured for them to rise. "You don't need to interfere with me here. Just treat me as an ordinary citizen. Everyone can enjoy their meal here."
Gan Luo spoke softly, while the officials in the court had beads of sweat on their foreheads. They had never expected Gan Luo to use the word "I" at this moment; they had thought he would use something like "this palace."
Lin Fengmian followed behind Gan Luo, and their attention turned to Lin Fengmian. At this moment, one of the officials, who also disapproved of Gan Luo's behavior, stood up.
"I never expected that Your Highness would bring male lovers with you wherever you go. I really think you are a good princess."
Gan Luo found the official's words laughable. He had already told them, "The man behind me is my personal bodyguard. A personal bodyguard naturally follows his master."
The other official was also taken aback for a moment, initially thinking that this person was Lou Yan.
However, it turns out that this person was not him at all, but actually Gan Luo's personal bodyguard. Lin Fengmian's face was terribly gloomy. If looks could kill, this official would probably have been killed by Lin Fengmian dozens of times over.
"I hope the officials can see this clearly, otherwise they won't even know when their tongues will be gone."
Gan Luo couldn't help but offer a reminder from the side.
The waiter hurriedly came to Gan Luo and greeted him respectfully.
The innkeeper was standing behind the owner, who was also standing behind them. The innkeeper asked the owner, "Owner, how should we entertain this princess? Is this her first time visiting our restaurant?"
This stumped the boss, who was at a loss as to how to entertain the princess. At that moment, the boss was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
After careful consideration, the boss had an idea: to serve all of the restaurant's signature dishes to Gan Luo.
We must make sure Gan Luo eats to his heart's content and enjoys the food.
Just then, Gan Luo arrived at the private room on the second floor and smelled a strong sandalwood fragrance, finding the environment quite comfortable.
Gan Luo, on the contrary, had an idea: he should come more often in the future.
The officials below, because of Gan Luo's appearance, were naturally not happy at all. More importantly, each of them had a trace of fear on their face, except for the prime minister.
Where were we? Let's continue our conversation here.
One of the officials, seemingly unafraid of danger, had already warned the others. The other officials, who were frequently glancing up at Gan Luo's private room, hurriedly made a shushing gesture to the first official. "This won't do."
He didn't understand. They had been chatting enthusiastically just moments before, but the conversation had stopped as soon as Gan Luo arrived. The Prime Minister couldn't help but remind him, "Do you think you've lived a little too long? If that's the case, you can go directly to the princess and see if you can leave this restaurant alive."
The prime minister made some sarcastic remarks, which the man naturally understood. The prime minister really couldn't understand why Gan Luo would come here, especially since, judging from the attitude of the waiter and the owner, Gan Luo was clearly here for the first time.
However, Gan Luo pretended that he had come several times, simply to deceive them. The Prime Minister was not a fool, unless their whereabouts were exposed.
Today, many distinguished guests have come to this restaurant. The owner has decided to give all of them a free meal, since those sitting in front are officials from the imperial court, and the current princess is sitting on the second floor.
Shangguan Mufeng happened to pass by this restaurant, and upon entering, he saw the Prime Minister. More importantly, he also saw Gan Luo on the second floor. Shangguan Mufeng was a little surprised at that moment.
These officials were all wondering if they hadn't checked the almanac before going out, which was why...
"Prime Minister, what should we do next? Should we stay here, or finish our meal and go home?"
The Prime Minister felt a headache coming on and told them that after they finished eating, they could go home and there was no need to stay any longer, since there was no point in staying there.
When Gan Luo saw Shangguan Mufeng, he invited him directly into a private room on the second floor.
"Princess, why are you here?"
