Since big Yaoyao was busy, Helian Jing did not want to disturb him further. He simply ordered a cup of tea and a plate of snacks as he patiently waited in the Lotus Suite, occasionally jotting down some ideas for the birthday feast he was throwing.
As soon as Shopkeeper Li arrived at the restaurant, someone informed him of the current situation. He was shocked and embarrassed, finding Li Yao’s behaviour outrageous. He rushed over to the Lotus Suite and immediately apologized to the young prince.
“I will get Li Yao to come over at once,” Shopkeeper Li promised.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, don’t bother. I will wait until he is done,” Helian Jing said indifferently.
Shopkeeper Li was surprised to find the Young Prince Jing so accommodating to a mere cook. There were rumours that Young Prince Jing was a bit spoiled and not at all an easy-going person. Shopkeeper Li was wondering what was going on.
Helian Jing waited until lunchtime but big Yaoyao still hasn’t come out. He ordered a few dishes and continued waiting again.
Xia Chunyu, on his way to the palace with two Imperial bodyguards, passed by Heavenly Residence.
“Sir, I am afraid it would be way past lunchtime by the time we reach the palace,” a bodyguard informed him.
Xia Chunyu considered it for a while before dismounting the horse. “Then, we shall have our meal here.”
Little Jing has been singing praises about his friend Jin Yao’s cooking skills, so Chunyu thought that it was time for him to put it to the test.
The waiter named Ah Xing welcomed him gracefully. “Sir, would you like to take our Orchid Suite? It oversees the river so you can enjoy that wonderful view as you eat.”
Ah Xing has been a waiter for years now and he has skillfully mastered discerning the customers, identifying their status by their clothing and presence.
A waiter must practice till he has a pair of discerning eyes, telling the status of every customer from their clothing and presence. He recommended the best suite because one look at Xia Chunyu’s official Imperial bodyguard uniform and his imposing manner, he knew that he was not just an ordinary rich person.
Xia Chunyu couldn’t care less about any lavishness. “Lead the way.”
Helian Jing walked to the mouth of the staircase, on his way back to his suite from visiting the latrine, when he ran into Xia Chunyu.
“Little Jing…”
“Brother Chunyu? What a coincidence! Are you here for lunch?” Helian Jing was shocked to see brother Chunyu in the restaurant, big Yaoyao’s warning flashing in his head.
Xia Chunyu frowned. What else will I do in a restaurant? Practice sword fighting?
“Yes, what about you? Who are you here with?”
“I… I am about to leave!” Helian Jing squeaked in panic.
Ah Xing was baffled and asked, “Young Royal Highness, the dishes that you’ve ordered are not served yet.”
Helian Jing wanted to strangle the meddlesome waiter. He said fiercely, “I just don’t feel like eating. Am I not entitled to leave whenever I want to?”
Xia Chunyu raised his brows, finding little Jing’s reaction very unusual for him. He looked flustered and Xia Chunyu found it odd that he’d leave without eating what he ordered. Wasn’t he always boasting of Jin Yao’s cooking skills?
