Chapter 301 Rejection of Xinyang Hou
After arriving at the mansion today, Marquis Xinyang thought over and over again and it seemed that the only reason for him to visit Su Chenyu was to apologize on behalf of Xin Ning, so he brought gifts with him.
But when Su Chenyu said it in such a tone, Marquis Xinyang always felt that he was being laughed at.
"The Lord of Love has already investigated the truth of the last incident. It was indeed Xinning's fault. I came here today with gifts. I hope that the Lord and the Prince Consort will be magnanimous and not pay attention to Xinning's nonsense."
"Marquis Xinyang has spoken." Su Chenyu urged, "Why haven't you served tea to Marquis Xinyang yet?"
Yanyu brought a cup of tea, and Xinyang Hou politely took it and took a sip, but the moment the tea took his mouth, his face froze slightly, and then he put down the cup as if nothing had happened.
"This golden sprout is extremely hard to buy on the market. Thanks to the master, I was able to drink it today."
Su Chenyu did not answer. Baili Yanqing walked over and sat down on the chair opposite to Xinyang Hou. "You are too polite, Xinyang Hou. My master and I do not like golden sprouts. This golden sprout is specially prepared for you."
Golden buds were rare and in small supply, and were the favorite of the King of Western Xia, so naturally all of them were sent to the palace.
Coincidentally, the Marquis of Xinyang also loved to drink Golden Buds. The officials who presented Golden Buds as tribute would specially prepare some for him. These details were naturally kept secret from the King of Western Xia, so the Marquis of Xinyang kept his hobby a secret.
But how did Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing know?
"Your Highness does not like to drink Golden Buds, which is a waste of your Royal Highness's kindness." The Marquis of Xinyang asked tentatively.
Baili Yanqing smiled and said, "Yanyu, change a cup of tea for the Marquis."
Xinyang Hou didn't expect Baili Yanqing to not give him any face at all: "The Prince Consort is really very attentive in entertaining guests."
"Since you don't like it, why force yourself to drink it?"
Yanyu brought a cup of tea to Xinyang Hou. It was Longjing tea from the Rain, but Xinyang Hou felt that something was missing when he drank it. "Are you and your husband still living here?"
"This Jinyanlou is the most luxurious restaurant in Xixia. If you still feel that this is not a good place to stay, where else can you go?"
Faced with Baili Yanqing's question, Xinyang Hou was a little stunned, and then said: "In fact, our Xixia posthouse is just as good as Jinyanlou, and there are guards around, so it is safer."
Baili Yanqing looked at Su Chenyu and said, "Chenyu, what do you think of the Marquis's proposal?"
Su Chenyu thought for a moment and said, "My Lord, you feel very comfortable living here. We should be thankful that no one came to greet us, otherwise we would not have found such a suitable place."
When Xinyang Hou spoke again, his tone was somewhat gloomy: "Master Xi really doesn't want to move to Xi Inn?"
"Didn't the Lord just answer you?" Baili Yanqing looked at Marquis Xinyang and his voice turned cold.
The Marquis of Xinyang laughed, "I am also worried about the safety of the Lord and the Prince Consort. Somehow a group of criminals have sneaked into the capital recently, and many officials have had their homes robbed. The Emperor has ordered General Jiang to patrol more vigorously. Now that the Lord is living in Jinyan Tower, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of those criminals. It would be better for him to live in the Yi Inn, where there are soldiers guarding him and it would be safer."
"How dare those villains under the emperor's feet do such evil things?" Su Chenyu did not respond to the words of the Marquis of Xinyang. "Then according to what the Lord thinks, the Marquis should not come to ask us to move out now, but should arrest these villains and relieve the emperor's worries."
"Master, those villains are very cruel. If they really set their sights on this place, I'm afraid it will be bad for you."
Su Chenyu smiled slightly: "Even if they are targeting us, what's so scary? Would Xixia let us, the guests who came from afar, fall into danger?"
