Chapter 312 I Want to Be in a Relationship

Yu Liu imagined the scene Wang Sun Chu Quan described, and suddenly a mischievous urge struck her. She smiled and nodded in agreement.
With the help of the guards, the two quickly pushed through the crowd and reached the very center of the gathering. They then discovered that it was a restaurant, a four-story building that stood out among the surrounding buildings. A large banner hung on the top floor with the word "wine" written on it.
A plaque hangs at the entrance of the restaurant, with three large characters delicately painted in gold powder: "The First Manor." The characters are written in a vigorous and elegant style, exuding an extraordinary aura.
Just as Yu Liu was secretly wondering who wrote the words, Wang Sun Chu Quan lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "See those three characters 'First Manor' on that plaque? I wrote them myself, baby. Aren't I great?"
He doesn't miss any opportunity to deepen his impression on his baby.
"Yes, that's great." Yu Liu quietly gave him a thumbs up.
Wang Sun Chuquan immediately smiled like a fool, his heart filled with tenderness. "Baby, you praised me so much!"
After secretly rejoicing for a while, Wang Sun Chu Quan finally turned his gaze to the fourth floor of the restaurant, the highest point in the capital. From there, one could overlook half of the city, making it his favorite spot when he went out. He warmed half a pot of wine by the window, quietly sipping it alone. In that tranquil atmosphere, he would think of his past life, a place filled with worries, yet remarkably carefree compared to this world.
Everyone knew that the fourth floor of the First Manor was a place reserved specifically for the Regent, and no one was allowed to go up there. But at this moment, outside the window on the fourth floor, on the small balcony that Wangsun Chuquan had specially ordered to be left when the restaurant was built, a small wine table was set up. On the table were a jar of wine and a celadon white bowl. The person sitting by the table was gazing into the distance with a deep look in his eyes. Occasionally, he would raise his hand and boldly down the wine in his bowl. His figure looked lonely and desolate.
The crowd that had gathered dared not utter a sound, for fear of disturbing the regent who was "contemplating life" on the rooftop. The regent himself had already shown signs of detachment from worldly affairs, and they didn't want to disturb him further, lest he lose all attachment to this mortal realm; that would be a grave sin.
"This person is quite good at pretending." Wang Sun Chuquan squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, already having a vague idea of who the person pretending to be was.
The person upstairs deliberately imitated his usual style of dress, dressed entirely in black from head to toe, with only the cuffs and collar adorned with luxurious gold thread patterns. The fabric of the clothes was the most precious cloud-patterned brocade; upon closer inspection, one could see that even though it was mostly black, it was covered with beautiful patterns. This kind of brocade was extremely rare, and all of its annual production was used as tribute. Most of it went to his Regent's Palace, while a small portion flowed into the Imperial Palace for the young emperor and his harem. Apart from those in the Imperial Palace, no one outside would ever use this brocade.
Moreover, the man used disguise to imitate his appearance. His slanted eyebrows and charming eyes were very similar, but the only differences were his nose and lips. His own nose was high and straight, but if you looked closely, the man's nose would be a bit flat. His own lips were thin, while the man's mouth was a bit big and his lips were thick. If they looked closely, the people would definitely notice the difference. But he was hiding on the fourth floor, at a distance, so what they saw was somewhat distorted. In addition, no one dared to go up to the fourth floor to approach the "Regent," which resulted in the people being deceived.
Based on the clothes the other person was wearing and their mannerisms, Wang Sun Chu Quan already knew who was impersonating him.
“He doesn’t really look like you.” Yu Liu grabbed Wangsun Chuquan’s collar and leaned against him. She carefully compared the differences between the real and fake regents and concluded very seriously: “He’s much worse than you. And I can feel that he’s not looking into the distance at all. Instead, he keeps looking down. He looks like a show-off who just hasn’t been discovered yet.”
Yu Liu's affirmation filled Wang Sun Chu Quan's heart with satisfaction. He felt that he had never been as happy as he was now. Even though he didn't know what to do in this situation, he still instinctively pursed Yu Liu's fair face with his lips.
Although he really wanted to kiss her on the lips, he chickened out at the last second. Wang Sun Chu Quan was slightly annoyed, but mostly delighted.
Yu Liu was also stunned by his sudden attack. When she felt the touch on her face, she realized what had happened. She felt like she was being steamed alive. A blush rose up her face and then began to spread, eventually turning her neck red as well.
Wang Sun Chuquan's face was also slightly flushed, but it was covered by the white powder he had applied before leaving, so he appeared quite composed. He even secretly touched Yu Liu's burning cheek, and suddenly felt an urge to return to the Prince's mansion. The surrounding crowd and the imposters upstairs were all too much of a nuisance; the Prince's mansion was much quieter and more suitable for flirting.
He silently considered his options, but managed to suppress his impulse. He made a hand gesture with his left hand, and the hidden guards protecting him in the crowd immediately received the order.
"Baby, get ready for a good show!"
Wang Sun Chu Quan gently rubbed Yu Liu's cheek to bring her back to her senses, then pointed to the sky with a look of interest.
Since there's no way to go back to the Prince's mansion to cultivate relationships, watching a scene where the young emperor is universally hated is not bad either, haha.
On the fourth floor of the First Manor, the pretentious little emperor was filled with excitement.
Look at the adoring eyes of the people below! It's the greatest compliment they can give me. And those fervent eyes! I used to envy my uncle when I saw them, but now it's finally my turn to enjoy it. It feels so good!
The chief eunuch, who was standing quietly by the small table, noticed the young emperor's slightly tipsy face and whispered a worried reminder: "Your Majesty, it's about time to stop."
If things continue like this, and the news gets out and reaches the Regent, the whole thing will be exposed. He didn't even want to think about what would happen then.
"Stop?" The young emperor glanced at the eunuch beside him with displeasure, his brow furrowing slightly. "Wait a little longer!"
"But Your Majesty..." The Grand Eunuch clearly wanted to persuade him further, but the young emperor glared at him angrily, successfully making him swallow the rest of his words.
"I said, wait a little longer. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, nothing will happen."
The Imperial Uncle usually prefers to stay in the Prince's Mansion and doesn't have the leisure to inquire about gossip outside. Even if others find out and rush to report, it will take quite a while. He can enjoy himself for just a little while longer. This feeling is truly wonderful!
