Transmigrator meets Reincarnator

Ch. 52 Yuehong Restaurant's Roast Duck

Chu Lian didn’t expect the regal, aloof Royal Princess Duanjia from Mei Court to turn out more like an awkward, endearingly haughty child.

Her smile grew even wider. “Of course, I understand.”

“Right, I’m the only one you can make cat cookies for! Otherwise, I’ll make you answer for your crime!”

Chu Lian took a mental note: Royal Princess Duanjia was not only awkward and endearingly haughty; she was also very possessive.

The two of them dined on sweet desserts and honey water as they sat in the parlour. Sometime during their tête-à-tête, Princess Wei belatedly brought over some cherries as additional snacks for them, but upon seeing her daughter on a rare play date, she chose not to disturb them. It wasn’t a common sight to see her daughter get along so well with someone.

Royal Princess Duanjia noticed that it was already the middle of the afternoon, so she coughed gently and prompted, “Chu Liu, how about I bring you out to eat somewhere today?”

Chu Lian really didn’t know how to react. Royal Princess Duanjia’s personality was too different from the norm. When inviting guests to lunch, wasn’t it more natural to eat inside the estate rather than somewhere else? Why was the princess asking her out to eat?

Since Chu Lian’s response was only a wordless, wide-eyed stare, Royal Princess Duanjia could only pout and add, “Fine, I just wanted to eat Yuehong Restaurant’s roast duck. Are you coming or not?”

Yuehong Restaurant?

It was one of the best restaurants in the capital, and similar to the modern world’s famous Quanjude roast duck restaurant, it was also famed for its roast duck.

Chu Lian still had her Guilin Restaurant to manage. It would be a good idea to take a look at what the best restaurant in the capital was like.

She smiled and nodded.

Royal Princess Duanjia excitedly sent one of her maidservants off to inform Princess Wei before sending another senior servant to the outer court to prepare a carriage.

Royal Princess Duanjia and Chu Lian arrived at the side entrance of Yuehong Restaurant before 11am. The two of them were supported off the carriage by their servants. Chu Lian’s eyes widened as she looked around.

As expected, this Yuehong Restaurant was extraordinary. It was located in the best spot of the whole Zhuque Main Street. There were customers ranging in the hundreds coming in and out every day. From where they were standing, Chu Lian could see that the first floor’s main hall was already full.

A special waiter ushered them in from the side entrance. Royal Princess Duanjia seemed to be a regular customer of Yuehong Restaurant, as the two of them were guided by the waiter into a private room labelled ‘Heaven’.

Royal Princess Duanjia rattled off a list of dishes to the waiter, some of which Chu Lian had never even heard of before.

She observed how this private room was decorated. It was sumptuously furnished; there were even expensive bonsai trees placed on the side tables next to the window. Although it looked very elegant and high class, she still had to see if their food could match up to the restaurant’s appearance.
