In addition, because Zhuang Mingyue has recently opened a hot pot restaurant and a hamburger restaurant in the capital, she is not only famous, but also has many dignitaries who come out of curiosity about food and Zhuang Mingyue's plummeting status.

It is precisely because of this that many ministers who once supported Long Zhengning saw that Zhuang Mingyue, who was once in the limelight above the court, has now not only fallen to the point where he can only do business.

Even, she is just a woman, but she still needs to show up and start a cook and a shopkeeper in person.

If it was said that because of Zhuang Mingyue's original status and the power in her hands, I was afraid that she would regain her grace.

So from the current point of view, with Zhuang Mingyue's appearance, coupled with the recent situation in the court, Zhuang Mingyue is afraid that she will not be reused in any way.

Li Shu, the household waiter, who felt a little unbearable about this, looked at Zhuang Mingyue, who was busy going back and forth, and couldn't help but show a little distress in his eyes.

And Qi Fei, the squire of the military department, who was sitting opposite him, also looked at him with the same distressed and unbearable gaze.

For the two of them, who were not born with a high status, they were fortunate to be appreciated by Zhuang Mingyue and were recruited by her into the Egret Academy, and when they studied in it, Zhuang Mingyue was already the benefactor of the two of them.

Not to mention that later, the two of them directly entered the court in one fell swoop because of Zhuang Mingyue's recommendation, and even achieved the status they have now.

Therefore, compared to others, all those who were personally recruited into the Egret Academy by Zhuang Mingyue had been taught by Zhuang Mingyue, a veritable dean.

And it is precisely because of this that they know better than anyone else, and they also understand better how talented Zhuang Mingyue's talent is.

Even, when Zhuang Mingyue was still trusted and favored by Emperor Tiansheng, he directly let Emperor Tiansheng ignore those dogmas of etiquette and etiquette, and directly let Zhuang Mingyue enter the court and debate with the ministers as a woman.

Those things alone have shocked the court and beyond.

But who would have thought that such an amazing woman would be reduced to the point where she can only do business now?

The more the two people shouted pity about this, the more obvious the distress and regret in their eyes became.

So much so that the two of them stared at Zhuang Mingyue with completely different appearances, but they were similar to the extreme.

Zhuang Mingyue, who was stared at like this by the two of them, finally couldn't help but walk up to the two of them, and opened her mouth with a little ridicule.

"I said, you two adults are resting today, just came to my hot pot restaurant to stare at me like this? The two adults have good wives in their families, and it wouldn't be good if it was misunderstood. ”

Because of the busyness, and the position where the two of them sat down was also a relatively remote position, Zhuang Mingyue did not come deliberately.

I just thought that these two people were Zhuang Mingyue who came to eat, so I didn't care too much about it.

But the eyes of these two people have been on her since she came in, and wherever she goes, the eyes of these two people follow her.

Although Zhuang Mingyue knew in her heart that these two people looked at her like this only because of these things that had happened in the recent days, so they looked like this.

But even if she and the two of them knew these things in their hearts, the others definitely didn't understand them.

In order to avoid that at this time, there will be more messy gossip, and in the end, Zhuang Mingyue couldn't help but come to the two of them and said these words.

The two people who were suddenly interrupted looked at Zhuang Mingyue, who felt pity in their hearts in front of them, and there was obviously a happy look on their faces, where was there a little bit of the look they imagined.

"Mr. Zhuang." The two of them stood up in unison, bowing to Zhuang Mingyue with both hands as they had done in the Egret Academy.

But in fact, with Zhuang Mingyue's identity now, compared with the two waiters in front of him. She really can't afford this great gift from two people.

Moreover, in Zhuang Mingyue's opinion, although she did give some knowledge to these two people at the beginning, she couldn't afford to bear the sacred word "sir" after all.

So when she saw the two people saluting her like this, she raised her hand slightly without the slightest hesitation and signaled to the two of them, "The two adults don't want to give me such a big gift in my small shop, I really can't afford it." ”

Zhuang Mingyue didn't know that now with her identity, not only could she not stand it, but even at this extremely critical time, she should not have too much contact with friends above the court.

Zhuang Mingyue, who understood this in her heart, saw that after the two of them got up, she motioned for the two of them to do it again, and handed over the menu in her hand, "Two adults, this is the menu of the small shop, and the two of you can order it according to the above." ”

As Zhuang Mingyue handed over the menu, she also deliberately lowered her voice and said: "Now that the turmoil in the court has not gone down, the identities of the two of you are also related to me, so it's better not to have too much contact at this time." ”

It was precisely because of Zhuang Mingyue's general attitude like a shopkeeper that Li Shu and Qi Fei, who felt a little overwhelmed, suddenly heard Zhuang Mingyue's words of reminder, and subconsciously raised their eyes and looked over.

And Zhuang Mingyue, who had already stood up again, just smiled at the two of them, and then said silently with her mouth: "Mingzhe protects himself, don't worry about me." ”

The two people who saw these short eight words clearly, and suddenly there was an inexplicable emotion in their hearts.

They came this time, in fact, because there were too many things that had happened recently, and out of kindness and worry, they wanted to come to see how Zhuang Mingyue was doing and whether she could help.

But Zhuang Mingyue in front of her not only saw what they were thinking, but even directly asked them not to be implicated for her.

Wise to protect yourself.

It's just just four words, but when a person has great kindness to the other party, not only did he not ask them for any help because of the original kindness.

He even directly cut off all contact with those of them who had more or less inextricable relationships.

This is extremely difficult for anyone to do. However, Zhuang Mingyue not only cut off all communication with them, but also did not feel sorry for herself because her identity was degraded.

also directly opened such a grand store today, and the business is very popular.

Even if they took the initiative to come now and wanted to give some help to Zhuang Mingyue, they were not accepted by Zhuang Mingyue, and they were let go and advised them to protect themselves and leave her alone.

Li Shu, who had never had such thoughts about this, glanced at Qi Fei with four eyes, and they both saw a determined gaze in the other party's eyes.

"Mr. Zhuang, you were the one who gave the two of us ...... at the beginning."

However, Zhuang Mingyue, who knew what they wanted to say and how she planned to persuade her, interrupted with a smile without hesitation, and said in a voice that was inaudible to outsiders: "I'm fine, don't do it again in the future, you all have family members in your family, and you definitely shouldn't let your relatives worry about you for that little kindness, understand?" ”

The two people who were suddenly interrupted looked at Zhuang Mingyue's determined gaze in front of them, and finally understood in their hearts.

Zhuang Mingyue really didn't need the help of the two of them, and she didn't plan to ask them for any help.

The two people who understood this subconsciously frowned, but in the end they chose to listen to Zhuang Mingyue's warning, and didn't say anything more, just simply ordered a few according to the dishes on the menu.

Seeing that the two of them understood what she meant, Zhuang Mingyue then smiled and took the menu in their hands, "Please wait a while, two adults." ”

Just as Zhuang Mingyue turned around and was about to leave, she faintly heard a very slight voice behind her, but it was enough for him to hear clearly, "If there is a need in the future, we will only be from the academy at any time." ”

Zhuang Mingyue, who heard this, was stunned for a moment when she was walking, but she didn't turn around, and soon left directly with the ordered menu.

In the following time, Zhuang Mingyue did not go to the hot pot table of the two of them again, but just asked others to take care of her, and Qi Fei and Li Shu did not keep their eyes on her as before.

At this moment, Li Shu and Qi Fei really looked like ordinary customers.

Zhuang Mingyue, who was in this mood, thought that it would be okay for the situation to go down slowly like this.

After all, now that she no longer has any status in the court, even if the ministers who used to have festivals were dissatisfied with her, there was nothing to worry about for her.

Because most of these people used to be from Empress Long Zhengning's faction, now they can remove themselves from the suspicion of treason, and it is already a great thing to remove themselves.

Not to mention that she can still have free time to deal with her, and as for some other ministers who were once hostile, now they are all busy with those things in the palace and court, I am afraid that they will not have any free time to make things difficult for her.

So for Zhuang Mingyue, when she thought she could do her business quietly, she never thought that something would happen in the end.
