I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 380: Love with a kiss

The Bian Canal was opened and Kaifeng prospered.

This is a folk song that is circulated among the people, which illustrates the close relationship between the Bian River and the prosperity of Tokyo.

After all, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the main mode of transportation in the country was still water transport. Therefore, the Bian River, which runs east-west across Dongjing City and connects the Yangtze River and Huai River, is not only the most important transportation hub in Dongjing City, but also the largest cargo distribution center in Dongjing.

The banks of the Bian River are naturally one of the most lively places in Tokyo, and also the place with the most worldly atmosphere. If you want to visit Tokyo City, you naturally have to come here for a stroll.

Probably because there were too many people and the sun was very strong, Zhao Paner's forehead was covered with sweat after walking for a while.

Shuangxi was a smart man. He bought two fruit drinks and snacks, then quietly blended into the crowd.

Zhao Wei tasted it and gave his evaluation.

"This food is okay, but the fruit drink is far less delicious than your half-covered drink."

Speaking of half-covered face, Zhao Wei suddenly thought of something else, and before Zhao Pan'er could speak, he continued, "Come to think of it, I haven't congratulated you yet."

Zhao Paner looked confused: "Congratulations on what?"

"That night, Madam Sun suddenly came to call you, so I didn't have the chance to congratulate you on winning the tea contest. After the contest with Chatang Lane, your Banzhaimian has established itself in Tokyo. I believe that with your ability, you will definitely make Banzhaimian bigger and stronger."

After saying that, Zhao Wei suddenly remembered one thing. That is, in the TV series, there seemed to be a storm later, which destroyed the half-covered face, so Zhao Pan'er and the others turned to Chi Pan to cooperate in running the restaurant.

Zhao Pan'er was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I appreciate your good words. I hope that the half-mask can get better and better, so that we can continue to stay in Tokyo with peace of mind."

"Actually, if you want to stay in Tokyo forever, there is a simpler way." Zhao Wei said with a smile.

"any solution?"

"If you become the princess of the Han Palace, then not only the three of you, but also thirty or three hundred people can stay if you want."

After these words were spoken, Zhao Pan'er fell silent for a moment.

In addition to feeling happy, she also felt a sense of disgust in her heart.

It wasn't that she hated Zhao Wei, but that she hated herself.

Obviously, the decision has been made, but when the time comes, I still can't help but think about it.

Zhao Wei glanced at her, as if he could see through her heart: "Are you afraid, afraid of getting hurt? Zhao Pan'er, you are a coward."

Zhao Pan'er was stunned and retorted: "I am not."

"You are like that. You have been hurt by a man, so you are unwilling to give any trust to others, for fear of being hurt again. You are always worried that others will look down on you, so you try your best to settle down in Tokyo, but in fact, the one who looks down on you the most is yourself."

Zhao Pan'er frowned. She didn't think that all this was her problem. It was just that even Ouyang Xu, who had been in love with her for three years, couldn't accept her background. Could Zhao Wei really accept it?

"Yes, I have low self-esteem. I don't dare to believe you. That's because what I want is not just a momentary love, but a lifetime love. Your promise and proposal really make me feel happy and blessed, but once I calm down, I can't help but think about the reality. You are a prince, how could you possibly marry a lowly woman who has turned to goodness? Even if you are moved by love at the moment, won't you regret it in the future?"

Zhao Pan'er plucked up the courage to speak out her concerns. Her eyes were full of anticipation as she looked at Zhao Wei, hoping that Zhao Wei would say the three words "I have no regrets".

"I even gave you the Royal Order, and you still doubt me?" Zhao Wei pretended to be sad: "You know, that Royal Order represents me. If I'm not here, that Royal Order can mobilize everything in my Han Palace."

"Ah? So important?!" Zhao Pan'er was shocked. She quickly took off the sachet from her waist and was about to return Wang Ling to Zhao Wei.

However, her hand was held down by Zhao Wei.

"Zhao Pan'er, let me tell you, the day I gave you the token, you were the mistress of the palace that I designated. When you were in Qiantang, didn't you dream of becoming the wife of a Jinshi? I was also a second-class Jinshi back then, and I was also a prince. You won't suffer any loss by marrying me." Zhao Wei said with a very serious look in his eyes.

Looking at Zhao Wei's extremely serious eyes, Zhao Pan'er's eyes were filled with tears of joy and sorrow: "But if you marry me, your reputation will be ruined."

"I've told you many times, I don't care about reputation, I just want to marry you, I can swear..."

Zhao Pan'er stretched out her hand and pressed it on Zhao Wei's lips.

"I believe you. If you don't let me down, I will never let you down." Zhao Pan'er said in a firm tone. She and Zhao Wei have experienced a lot together. Compared with the secular perspective, she is more willing to believe what Zhao Wei says.

A smile instantly broke out on Zhao Wei's face. He pulled Zhao Pan'er's hand that was on his mouth and was about to say something, but he didn't expect to hear two "coughs" suddenly from behind.

The two turned around and saw Shuangxi standing behind them, leading a horse.

Shuangxi carefully avoided Zhao Wei's murderous gaze and said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, please believe me, I really don't want to disturb you. I really have something important to do. There is an urgent report from the northwest border."

Zhao Wei's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Zhao Pan'er and said depressedly: "It seems that I can't travel to Tokyo with you today."

Zhao Pan'er knew the seriousness of the matter and said quickly, "Business is more important, go now!"

"Then I'll come find you when I'm done."

Zhao Pan'er shyly pulled her hand away and nodded, "Okay."

Zhao Wei resisted the urge to get close to her, climbed onto his horse, and ordered as he rode on it, "Shuangxi, send the princess back to the half-covered room."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zhao Pan'er stood where she was, tightly holding the sachet that contained Wang Ling, which also represented Zhao Wei's trust and sincerity. She watched Zhao Wei ride away on his horse until he completely disappeared, then she turned around and walked away quickly.

At this moment, her emerald green skirt fluttered and the smile on her face became more and more intense, as light as when she was sixteen years old and escaped from slavery.

A flower vendor's voice came from not far away: "Flower seller, if you buy this pomegranate flower, you will definitely marry your lover."

Zhao Pan'er tightened the sachet in her hand, and thinking of Zhao Wei, she walked towards the flower vendor without hesitation.

A moment later, a bright red pomegranate flower appeared in her hair.

"Madam, are we going back now or would you like to go shopping again?" Shuangxi asked with a bow. His attitude was more respectful than before, and his address was changed from Madam Zhao to Madam.

It was only because they were in a busy city now that it was not appropriate to reveal their identities, otherwise he would have directly called the princess.

"Go back to half-covering your face."

Hearing this, Shuangxi hurriedly hailed a carriage not far away and escorted Zhao Paner back to Banmao.

It has to be said that Gao Hu acted very quickly. The first thing he did when he returned home was to beat up Gao Hui's wet nurse Jiang, and to send a letter of withdrawal of engagement to Ouyang Xu, as well as a large sum of money to buy paintings to Zhao Pan'er.

So, as soon as Zhao Pan'er entered the store, she was pulled by Sun Sanniang to the private room on the second floor where Song Yinzhang was performing.

As soon as he saw the two people come in, Song Yinzhang said anxiously: "Sister Pan'er, you are finally back, come and take a look."

"What are you looking at?" Zhao Pan'er looked confused.

Song Yinzhang moved aside, revealing the box behind him. The box was open, and the gold, silver and jewelry inside could be clearly seen, worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Zhao Pan'er was surprised: "Where did it come from?"

"It was sent by the Gao family. They said it was money for you to buy a painting."

"Where are the Gao family members?"

"Let's go." Sun Sanniang closed the door and walked to Zhao Pan'er. She subconsciously lowered her voice and asked, "Pan'er, the Gao family suddenly sent such a large sum of money. What's going on?"

"Didn't Yin Zhang just say that it was the money to buy the painting?" "What kind of painting is so expensive?"

Zhao Pan'er smiled and shook her head: "It's not the painting that's expensive, it's the person. Your Highness went to find Gao Hu in person. He was worried that Your Highness would bear a grudge, so he spent money to avoid disaster."

"So you accepted it?"

Zhao Pan'er nodded, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise: "Take it first, I'll ask him when His Highness is free. By the way, let me tell you a secret."

Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang were immediately curious and went over immediately.

Zhao Pan'er whispered, "Ouyang Xu and the Gao family's wife's marriage has fallen through. The Gao family should have sent someone to cancel the engagement by now."

The two girls' eyes lit up immediately. Song Yinzhang cursed and said he deserved it. Sun Sanniang said with a look of relief, "That's great. It's justice. Evil will be punished!"

Seeing that both of them looked very happy, Zhao Pan'er didn't feel anything. She smiled and said, "By the way, the Gao family won't cause us any more trouble in the future. We can do business with peace of mind."

"What about the Xiao family?" asked Sun Sanniang.

"As for the Xiao family, His Highness told me not to worry about it and he will handle it."

"Your Highness is so kind to us. I must repay Your Highness."

Hearing Song Yinzhang's words, coupled with Song Yinzhang's obsessed look, Zhao Pan'er looked at her with particular attention, and changed the subject, "Okay, Yinzhang, you take care of the box. Sanniang and I will get busy."

Sun Sanniang also glanced at Song Yinzhang, said nothing, and followed Zhao Pan'er downstairs.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw the guest picking up the small bell on the table and calling someone.

Zhao Pan'er perked up and said first, "Sanniang, I'll go."

Looking at Zhao Pan'er's graceful back, Sun Sanniang smiled cunningly like a fox: "Hehe, it seems that it's not just because of Ouyang Xu's bad luck, I'm afraid he is with His Royal Highness the King of Han."

Zhao Pan'er, wearing a pomegranate flower, was very busy in the store, but the smile on her face never stopped. And it was different from the smile she used to entertain customers in the past. It was a kind of joy that came from the heart.

The sun gradually set, and Banmao finally ended its business for the day.

Just then, a young man with a bruised face and nose, no, to be precise, a girl walked in. It was Ge Zhaodi who had come to the teahouse before to frame and blackmail them.

Then, after some conversation, Ge Zhaodi was unsurprisingly recruited by Zhao Paner and the others.

Because of Ge Zhaodi's joining, Zhao Paner and the others celebrated specially.

At night, in the pavilion.

The cups and plates on the table had been replaced by account books and a simple architectural drawing.

Zhao Pan'er sat at the stone table, looking at the full moon in the sky, and unconsciously thought of her past life.

It has been a while since she came to Tokyo. Although she has gradually integrated into the city, when she has free time, she still thinks of the days in Qiantang and her childhood life in Boye.

But as I thought about it, a figure appeared in my mind.

Zhao Wei!

In fact, ever since Zhao Wei came to see her for the first time at night, she couldn't help but think of Zhao Wei, and his figure was always lingering in her mind.

"Humph, it's causing a lot of harm."

"Who is hurting others so much? Are you talking about me?"

"what!"

The sudden sound startled Zhao Paner.

However, she reacted quickly and turned around to see Zhao Wei looking at her with a smile.

"Every time you come, you never go through the front door, and you make no sound at all. If I wasn't used to it, I would be scared to death by you." Zhao Pan'er patted her chest and asked, "Have you finished handling the matter?"

"It's dealt with for now." Zhao Wei nodded, walked to sit next to Zhao Pan'er, naturally grabbed her hand, held it in his own and squeezed it twice.

Zhao Pan'er's face was gloomy, but she did not resist. She just asked, "Is the northwest border okay?"

"It's nothing, otherwise I wouldn't have come to see you, but I didn't expect that after I came here, I knew you were thinking about me."

Zhao Pan'er's face became more and more ruddy, and she said stubbornly: "When did I miss you? Don't say anything nonsense."

"Your face is so red, and you still say you don't miss me."

"I, I just drank a little wine." Zhao Pan'er stammered.

Zhao Wei was too lazy to expose her and said with a smile: "You can drink, but you should drink less."

Zhao Paner nodded: "I know, I only drank a little. Drinking too much is harmful to your health. You should drink less at banquets in the future."

"Tsk tsk, you're already thinking about me and want to control me before we even get married?"

"You...if you keep saying that, I won't talk to you anymore and you'll make fun of me."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Zhao Wei begged for mercy and asked, "Besides thinking about me, what else were you thinking about just now?"

"I was thinking about my previous life." Zhao Pan'er said, then fell silent for a moment and said softly, "I was made a slave when I was very young, but I always remember what my mother told me before she died.

She said that the more outstanding the official slaves were, the more miserable their fates were, so I always hid my talents. Even though I could play the piano and paint, I dared not show them. In the end, the nanny disliked my poor dancing skills and arranged for me to learn accounting and management.

Later, my father's old subordinates came to me and asked for my release from the nationality. I was lucky enough to escape the fate of using my beauty to seduce others. I started to learn how to do business with what I had learned before. Ouyang Xu and I were also emotional and polite..."

"I don't care about these." Zhao Wei shook his head and interrupted Zhao Pan'er's words: "You don't have to tell me these, I believe you."

"No, I'm going to tell you." Zhao Pan'er replied angrily, then broke free from Zhao Wei's hand and said seriously, "I'm telling you this because I don't want any suspicion between you and me."

"Okay, then go on, go on."

After hearing what Zhao Wei said, Zhao Pan'er couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to continue.

Looking at Zhao Wei's handsome eyes and eyebrows, she suddenly made a bold move. She moved closer to Zhao Wei, hooked her hands around his neck, and took the initiative to kiss him.

A hint of surprise flashed across Zhao Wei's eyes, but the surprise soon turned into a smile. He turned passive into active and deepened the kiss, and Zhao Pan'er also gave a more enthusiastic response.

This kiss was so long and lingering that the two of them felt like they were floating in the clouds, forgetting everything.

It was not until Zhao Pan'er was almost out of breath that Zhao Wei reluctantly let her go.

"Pan'er, you promised me, right?"

She's already like this, and you're still asking?

What a fool!
Zhao Pan'er lowered her head shyly and uttered a soft "hmm" sound.

Under the moonlight, the two kissed and fell in love.
