In the spring of Chu'an's twelfth year, in Shencheng, the capital of the Wei Kingdom, a restaurant named Hanyancui was quietly built in the east of the city. At the beginning of September, Emperor Ziheng, who was only fifteen years old, succeeded to the throne. Hanyancui became the number one restaurant. Countless people came from thousands of miles away to become famous. For a time, no one could match the limelight.
Also in this year, the two princesses of Qinghe and Qinshui went to Beijing for a banquet, and met the proprietress Hongxing in a restaurant. Later, important officials from the court such as Zhongshu Ling, the Imperial Advisor, and the General became their guests. They recited poems, wrote poems, and chatted and laughed happily. Scholars all over the country regarded her as "Dragon Gate". The love stories of the princess and the imperial master, the princess and the killer, the restaurant owner and the rich boy spread out from here, making the men, women and children in the city envious.
