He pointed behind him and said, "This tavern is under my name. It's almost 11:45 PM now. Fourth Brother is injured and must be tired. Why don't we go inside and rest for a while, have some late-night snacks, and then go back to the manor?"
"Let's see who understands Yun'er better," Zhu Dan looked at Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhu Dan. "Aren't we having a late-night snack? Okay."
You're still not giving up, are you?
He gently took Lu Xiaoyun's arm and said softly, "Your Highness, look at this tavern. The decor is so outdated, and the dishes are the same as always. They haven't changed at all in all these years. No wonder some people don't like it. I don't want to go there."
Zhu Dan's face was already pale, and now it turned almost green.
"I think the restaurant across the street is not only extremely grand, but its interior decoration is also unique. It is said that they launch new dishes every month and offer them to people for free, which completely beats this restaurant."
He raised his eyebrows at Zhu Dan, but spoke to Lu Xiaoyun: "So, some things aren't necessarily better the older they are, Your Highness, don't you think?"
What could Lu Xiaoyun say? The restaurant Zhu Yu was referring to was owned by him.
Zhu Dan's face turned even greener.
Zuo Xiu, standing behind Zhu Dan, spoke up for her master, saying, "Miss Lu, you're going too far with your words. Who in this world doesn't cherish the past? Although the dishes at the Fifth Prince's tavern haven't changed much, its business is no worse than the one you mentioned."
Zhu Yu ignored Zuo Xiu and instead looked at Lu Xiaoyun with a deep gaze, pinching her sleeve and shaking it: "Your Highness, you love trying new things, don't you? Don't you?"
When a man acts cute, he can send a woman away in a flash, scaring Lu Xiaoyun so much that her toes and scalp stood on end.
Lu Yuyan looked at her.
Zhu Dan also stared intently at her.
Zhu Yu stepped between the two, intending to block Zhu Dan's view.
pity……
Sigh, it's all tears when I talk about it. Lu Xiaoyun, with her petite figure, is a whole head shorter than Zhu Dan and can't block anything at all.
Zhu Yu gritted his teeth. Why couldn't the original owner be nine feet tall?
Lu Xiaoyun said, "Okay, let's go to the one you mentioned."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu proudly puffed out his chest, took Lu Xiaoyun's arm, and walked towards the tavern across the street.
He also helped Ruoling and Lu Yuyan out of the way.
Zuo Xiu angrily said, "Your Highness, why are we having supper with them? Wouldn't it be better to go to our own shop? They're bullying us too much."
Zuo Xiu knew that her master loved eating the fermented duck from her own shop the most.
Zhu Dan glanced at Zuo Xiu: "You talk too much."
Zuo Xiu shrank back and obediently followed them into the restaurant across the street.
Once inside, Zhu Yu reached out and picked up a glass of green tea from the counter, placing it next to Zhu Dan's face.
"Your Highness, look at the Fifth Prince's face. Which is greener, his or this pot of potted plants?"
"Pfft." Ruoling couldn't help but laugh out loud. She finally understood why Miss Lu had done all this; she just wanted to annoy Fifth Brother for fun.
But don't all young ladies like Fifth Brother? Why doesn't it work on Miss Lu?
Zhu Dan: "..." If it's not illegal to beat a man with a woman's body, can he give his fourth brother a good whack?
He strode towards the private room on the second floor, his usually gentle and smiling face turning completely cold.
Lu Xiaoyun glared at Zhu Yu helplessly.
Zhu Yu raised an arrogant eyebrow and helped her upstairs.
Zhu Dan rubbed his temples, feeling confused by his fourth brother's anger. Yun'er's leg was injured, so climbing the stairs would naturally be difficult. He turned around to help the disabled Lu Xiaoyun.
Zhu Yu raised his hand and pulled Lu Yuyan to Lu Xiaoyun's other side: "Help her."
Zhu Dan reluctantly withdrew his hand.
They each sent their subordinates to guard outside.
Jiang Chuan and Li Feng stood to one side. Jiang Chuan took out a piece of sugar cake from the oil paper package and stuffed it into Li Feng's mouth.
Li Feng chuckled and ate contentedly, occasionally pinching off a piece and stuffing it into Jiang Chuan's mouth.
On the other side, Zuo Xiu crossed her arms and coldly watched the two adulterers feeding each other.
Jiang Chuan raised his eyebrows to the left, looking past Li Feng's head, his expression full of provocation.
Zuo Xiu clenched her fist.
Ruoling didn't have the habit of eating late-night snacks, and Lu Yuyan had just eaten and left the Prince An's residence, so he wasn't hungry either. Thus, he and Ruoling went out together.
Lu Yuyan suggested going for a walk, and Ruoling readily agreed.
So inside the room, two men and a woman sat around the table.
Lu Xiaoyun lowered her head and ate silently. Zhu Dan looked at the chopsticks in her hand and said gently, "You still like these plum blossom chopsticks. They haven't changed over the years."
He glanced at Zhu Yu: "Sometimes it's very difficult for a person to change many of their habits."
Zhu Yu looked up and saw that the chopsticks in Lu Xiaoyun's hand seemed different from theirs. There was a small plum blossom carved on the tip of the chopsticks. He didn't remember that his shop had chopsticks like that.
He immediately tightened his grip on the chopsticks.
Ha, it's not a big deal to have known each other for a long time. It's just that we met and fell in love in the modern world for six years before we both traveled to the Great Zhou Dynasty. What's so special about that? Damn it, who gave her these chopsticks? Are all the chopstick shops in Shengjing City closed down and there are no other styles available?
He's so angry!
Lu Xiaoyun said calmly, "It's just a pair of chopsticks, nothing more than a coincidence. It's quite remarkable that His Highness the Fifth Prince still remembers."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhu Yu snatched the chopsticks from her hand and threw them out of the second-floor window.
Zhu Dan: "..."
Just then, the innkeeper came to serve the dishes and said with a smile, "A vendor selling chopsticks came to the shop to promote this style of chopsticks. I thought the style was quite unique, so I bought a few pairs and kept them. It's quite a coincidence that His Highness Prince An used them today. Does His Highness find them comfortable?"
Before Lu Xiaoyun could say anything, Zhu Yu said coldly, "If you're not used to it, throw it all away."
The shopkeeper froze and looked at "Prince An".
Zhu Dan smiled and said, "It's just a pair of chopsticks."
Lu Xiaoyun then said, "Yes, it's just a pair of chopsticks, let's just throw them all away."
She should have cut ties with the past long ago. Even the times she lives in have changed, let alone habits that are dispensable.
Zhu Dan: "..."
The tavern across the street uses the same style.
The shopkeeper bowed and hurriedly agreed, then left the room and quickly tossed the plum blossom chopsticks into the stove.
Zhu Yu was in a great mood: "So, many habits can be changed. A-Yun has been here for so long, without using plum blossom chopsticks, but she hasn't missed a single meal. A-Yun, don't you think so?"
Lu Xiaoyun hummed in agreement: "People will starve to death if they don't eat."
Zhu Yu raised his eyebrows at Zhu Dan: "So, Fifth Brother, did you hear that? Not eating will make you starve to death, but not using plum blossom chopsticks won't affect anything."
Zhu Dan: "..."
