Facts have proved that you can never have too much food. Although the imperial attendants, who had been hungry all morning, ate a lot after posting the list, they only consumed more than half of the steaming breakfast, but the remaining food still had a place to go. Because everyone saw that Hua Qi was like a legendary glutton, and he consumed at least ten people's worth of food in one go!
Soon after, Ah Liu, who was well-known among the imperial attendants, came out of the Imperial College and finished ten servings of food... As a result, the vendors who had not been able to make any business today almost cleared out the remaining unsold food.
When these small business vendors came up to express their gratitude and try to get close to him, Hua Qi avoided their questions about his background and chatted with them cheerfully about his daily life. At the very end, he coughed.
"Well, it's daylight now. It's not a good look for you to occupy Chengxian Street to do business. Go away. Although you didn't see His Royal Highness, it's a rare opportunity to be so close to him in this life. It would be a good story to tell others, right? Go and spread the word about His Royal Highness's visit to the Imperial College and make our Prince famous!"
The few vendors who dared to come over looked at each other, and of course they all agreed in the end. As for the others who didn't dare to come over, they all kept the words in mind. And Hua Qi patiently told them what the lists posted today were, and why the Crown Prince took all the students in for a reprimand. In short, he was amiable, just like an ordinary uncle next door.
No one could tell that this neatly dressed, smiling old man was not only fifty years old, but also an extremely vicious man.
Ah Liu was used to seeing Hua Qi's fierce and evil side, so he was extremely uncomfortable to see him chatting with a group of vendors with a smile on his face. However, others did not know how fierce Hua Qi was, and at this moment, they happily returned to the carts they depended on for their livelihood, cleaned up the stoves, said hello and goodbye to each other, and pushed the carts... In an instant, Chengxian Street became deserted again.
Seeing that the surroundings were completely quiet and the men in black cloaks had retreated to the wall to guard the list, Ah Liu frowned thoughtfully, and then walked into the Imperial College without saying a word. However, Hua Qi had been holding back for a long time and no one asked questions, so he couldn't help but laughed and scolded: "Don't you have anything to ask?"
"No." Ah Liu didn't seem to feel that he had killed the conversation, but he knew what Hua Qi's expression was without turning around, and he snorted, "Even if you want to attract people, they won't come so quickly!"
"Oh, you don't believe how fast these guys can pass on messages? Do you want to make a bet with me?" Hua Qi rubbed his fingers lightly, with a cunning look on his face, "If someone has heard the news and arrived here when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Zhang Xue Shi and the others come out, you will lose me a hundred strings of cash?"
"No money, no gambling." Ah Liu glanced at Hua Qi with disdain, and continued to walk in without looking back. When he arrived at the university archway, he sneered and said, "You even dared to deceive His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, let alone others?"
At this moment, the imperial attendants who were standing at the foot of the wall, watching the emperor with their eyes and noses, pretending that they did not exist, could not help but fall into horror.
