Facing the man's wise eyes, Yan Shiyao bit her lip and said with a stiff upper lip, "Brother Yu, can't I have a little temper?"

She forgot that she would never deliberately act coquettishly or throw tantrums with him before.

He is smarter than Qi Qingchen, and he might have noticed something.

Xuan Yanyu looked at her with a half-smile, "Yes."

What does it have to do with him what he becomes?

Yan Shiyao breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Yu, I'm a little tired. I'll go to the side room to rest first."

If she stayed any longer, he would surely see her exposed, so she had to adjust her state.

Xuan Yanyu nodded.

Yan Shiyao walked to the side of Yan Yuning and said gently, "Ningning, you go with sister."

Yan Yuning swallowed the cake in her mouth and smiled, "Sister, I'll come find you after I finish eating."

Yan Shiyao frowned and said after a moment, "Okay, then eat quickly. Sister is waiting for you in the side room."

"Um."

"The eldest lady, the second lady, Master Xuan, and the third prince are here." Chun Yi lifted the bamboo curtain and walked in.

The corner of Yan Shiyao's eyes twitched. Didn't he just send her here before leaving?

Why are you here again?

"Yan Shiyao!" Qi Qingchen walked in angrily, his tone filled with shock and anger, "You deceived Your Highness, one hundred taels of silver, and you said three hundred taels?"

If Wu An hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have known that the banquet that day had cost a hundred taels, and Yan Shiyao got double that!

Yan Shiyao felt a little guilty.

"Yan Shiyao, you are so brave."

"Brother Qi, I...I remembered it wrongly." Yan Shiyao's voice trembled.

Qi Qingchen asked the question and swallowed his anger. Why did he call him Brother Qi again?

"Brother Qi, please don't be angry." The corners of Yan Shiyao's eyes were misty and she was silently shedding tears.

"Forget it, Your Highness, I won't bother with you anymore." Qi Qingchen raised his hand to wipe her tears.

There might really be something wrong with my brain, it's sometimes better and sometimes worse.

He is also responsible for Jiang Jin's problem.

Yan Yuning was shocked. Is Qi Qingchen going to return again?

Xuan Yanyu narrowed his eyes and looked at them with a playful look. Is Yan Shiyao not stupid anymore? Is she playing tricks on Qi Qingchen? She is so beautiful. She and Yan Yuning deserve to be sisters.

"Brother Qi." Yan Shiyao looked at him with an apologetic look, "I'll take you out of the house."

Qi Qingchen curled his lips and said in a low voice, "Yan Shiyao, you cheated the prince out of two hundred taels. Should you chase the prince away?"

Qi Qingchen patted her shoulder, walked around her, and sat down on the wooden chair.

"Why don't you add more bowls and chopsticks for His Majesty?" The man leaned back in the wooden chair and knocked on the table with his backhand.

Yan Shiyao glanced at Chun Yi.

Chunyi nodded and added a set of bowls and chopsticks for Qi Qingchen.

Qi Qingchen licked his lower lip lightly, "Yan Shiyao, come and serve the dishes to the palace."

Yan Shiyao clenched her fists and walked towards him unhappily. Didn’t she just eat?

"Serve the food." Qi Qingchen raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Yan Shiyao faked a smile, glanced around the table, took the poor-looking dish in front of Yan Yuning, and poured it all into Qi Qingchen's bowl.

Yan Yuning moved her lips. She had just listened to her elder sister teaching Xuan Xixi how to tie a jade pendant. She unconsciously stirred the food with the wooden chopsticks. She thought it would be bad for Qi Qingchen to eat it all by herself.
