It wasn't until the light inside the room dimmed that Su Yu noticed the sun had set.
"Your Highness."
The lady-in-waiting who was serving him changed his teapot to a fresh one and then respectfully called out.
"Go ahead."
Su Yu has a rule.
When he is engrossed in reading, do not disturb him unless it is something important.
The lady with the hidden mirror suddenly spoke up, which meant she had something to report.
"Duke De'an delivered the cooperation agreement. His subordinates told him that Lord Pantalone, the 'Rich Man,' would be in charge of handling the follow-up matters, so he took the contract and rushed to the Northern Bank."
"very good."
De'an Gong agreed to the cooperation between the two parties, and the next step is simply to go through the process of signing a contract.
Duke De'an seemed a little anxious, after all, he had just lost his daughter that morning.
But Su Yu could understand that he was turning his grief into motivation and throwing himself wholeheartedly into his work.
"Your Highness, Miss Yanfei just came by."
"Oh? Why don't you invite her in?"
Su Yu put down the book in her hand.
"Miss Yanfei said that she is handling two cases, Yelan and Huachu. She came to you this morning to discuss a settlement, which may have been offensive. So she has prepared a small meal tonight to apologize to you in person."
"In addition, Ms. Yanfei asked me to tell you that a respected elder of hers will be attending tonight, and she hopes you will do her the honor of attending."
"When I asked her who this elder was, Miss Yanfei called her Grandma Ping."
After reporting this far, Lady Zangjing carefully recalled the events before continuing, "Your Highness, our intelligence from Zhidong has very limited information about this Granny Ping. She seems to have little presence in Liyue, but various rumors circulate there, suggesting that she might be connected to the immortals."
Su Yu stood up and ordered, "Prepare the car, let's go now."
Chapter 107 Luofu Cave
"Ah, Your Highness, are we really going to the banquet?"
The lady with the hidden mirror asked again.
To avoid Su Yu misunderstanding, she explained, "Attorney Yan Fei is handling two cases, both of which are related to His Highness."
"Although His Highness has clarified the facts of Hua Chu's case, Ye Lan's lawsuit against you for alleged economic fraud is not yet over. Attorney Yan Fei may be trying to get close to you to obtain some evidence that is favorable to the case."
The legal profession, besides requiring a thorough understanding of the law, is also a profession that demands meticulous attention to language.
She could cite any word His Highness said as evidence.
Are you worried about my innocence, or are you worried about my innocence?
Su Yu's question sounded a bit awkward.
But the lady in the mirror looked somewhat flustered.
His Highness, without a doubt, saw through her little scheme once again.
The first "innocence" refers to the Prince's reputation being cleared by Yelan's lawsuit.
The second "innocence" refers to the prince's physical innocence regarding the banquet.
She knew better than anyone how popular her prince was with women.
Several female executive officers all showed great favor to His Highness.
Therefore, Yanfei and the others invited His Highness to the banquet, even if it wasn't to collect evidence, it might have been to curry favor with His Highness.
As a woman, she believed she understood women's minds better than His Highness the Prince.
“Your Highness… I am worried about both.”
"Alright, if she has a request, so do I."
The lady hiding the mirror was initially puzzled.
But he quickly understood Su Yu's purpose in attending the banquet.
The banquet was held in a place called Luofu Cave.
Apart from the islands and grottoes, the world is vast and boundless, shrouded in mist, and there is nothing else.
Yan Fei led a few people through a secret realm.
Along the way, he proudly introduced the wonders of this place.
However, Su Yu already knew everything.
This place called "Luofu Cave" is actually a grotto-heaven created by the immortals of Liyue using the Dust Jar as a medium and their immortal power.
In essence, it shares a similar function with his spatial ring.
The moment Su Yu stepped into this space, he resonated with the entire area.
From the surrounding flowers, grass, and forests, many strange-looking elemental creatures emerged, all curiously observing the man before them.
“Your Highness, these are all native creatures that live in Luofu Cave.”
"By absorbing immortal energy every day, over time, his appearance and physical form have become different from those of normal living beings."
"They are usually very timid and will stay far away from humans. Today, for some reason, they have all come out of their nests. I think they may be welcoming Your Highness."
Yan Fei explained it this way.
Actually, she was quite surprised.
Normally, she wouldn't be able to get close to these creatures, but today they came out to watch on their own.
Could it be that Prince Zhidong is carrying some kind of precious treasure, which is why they were attracted to it?
Su Yu nodded gently at them.
In his perception, the primordial creatures inside the Dust Song Pot were indeed welcoming his arrival.
The primordial beings within these dust-song pots were extremely sensitive to the elemental fluctuations emanating from him, and even though he deliberately concealed his divine power, they were still detected.
There weren't many people at the dinner party; they were all acquaintances of Su Yu.
Grandma Ping, and her two most beloved disciples, Xiangling and Yaoyao.
With Xiangling around, the meals were naturally very plentiful.
"Your Highness."
Xiangling greeted her warmly.
"Where's the crispy rice?"
Su Yu asked.
"Guoba and Sister Beidou went to a small fishing village to collect tigerfish the day before yesterday, and they haven't come back yet."
"Your Highness, you probably don't know this, but the news that you tasted the grilled tigerfish that day has spread, and this dish has become very popular in Liyue. Every day, diners who come from far and wide line up in front of Wanmin Hall, and there aren't enough tigerfish to go around."
Xiangling beamed with joy when she talked about it.
The tigerfish from the small fishing village became famous, and their Wanmintang restaurant attracted a large number of diners, a perfect win-win situation.
Of course, all of this is thanks to His Highness the Prince.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Holding the "Laurel" mechanism in her arms, Yao Yao stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
She learned from Grandma Ping and her fellow students that the prince was a legendary figure.
It is said that Prince Zhidong had met with the Emperor before the Emperor suddenly announced his seclusion.
The fact that he was personally received by the Emperor further proves that this person is extraordinary.
So when Xiangling said she was going to invite Prince Zhidong tonight, she thought she was joking.
Unexpectedly, the famous prince actually came to keep the appointment.
"Senior sister, really, why don't you quickly invite His Highness the Prince to take a seat?"
Yao Yao said with some dissatisfaction.
She had a childlike face, yet she spoke like a mature elder giving a lecture, which made everyone laugh.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects."
At this moment, Grandma Ping, with her hands behind her back and wearing reading glasses, respectfully smiled and greeted Su Yu.
“Ge Chenlang City True Lord”.
Su Yu's current status and strength are enough to warrant addressing her by her full name.
"Your Highness, please have a seat."
Grandma Ping said politely.
During the meal, Yan Fei once again expressed her gratitude to Su Yu.
"In Miss Hua Chu's case, if you hadn't been here today, it would have been very difficult for us to determine that Jian Qiu was the real culprit."
"It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
Su Yu said calmly.
I raised my glass and clinked it with hers.
Yan Fei was clearly not good at drinking. She had just taken a sip when she coughed several times before stopping, her face turning bright red.
"Your Highness, please forgive me, I..."
"There's no need to force yourself, Attorney Yanfei. You can substitute tea for alcohol."
A warm feeling welled up in Yan Fei's heart.
Prince Zhidong is truly understanding!
In Su Yu's view...
