Qiu Yan said no more and went straight upstairs.
Her boyish attire made the respectable young women dining on the second floor blush and their hearts race.
After she sat down in a seat next to the fence, Bai Lu followed closely behind and sat quietly beside her.
Then, she ordered a few simple dishes.
Seeing that Xingyuelou's signature dish was braised fish, she ordered it to try.
After ordering, she turned to look at the scenery outside the building.
"Master, didn't you come here to find someone?" How come you're eating here?
"Listen to a little tune." Since we're alive, we should naturally enjoy life.
Life is all about the present moment, and Qiu Yan's often tense mood was soothed by this melodious tone.
Bai Lu thought to herself, "Qiu Yan really thinks of me as a man."
At the fence, a girl leaned against the railing next to Qiu Yan and Qiu Yan, looking preoccupied.
She sometimes frowned, sometimes smiled faintly, sometimes looked conflicted, and sometimes felt frustrated: "Sigh, how can I persuade my brother to come home?"
Once all the dishes were served, Qiu Yan and Bai Lu sat down to eat.
The food on the plate looked and smelled delicious, but Qiu Yan felt it wasn't as good as what Bai Yangcheng made.
Perhaps it's a matter of place and taste, and she was used to the food prepared by Baiyang Xingyuelou.
"What's wrong with the waiters at Xingyue Tower? Is this how they treat their distinguished guests?"
"I apologize for my poor eyesight, I didn't see you, Miss."
"..."
On the first floor, two sounds caught Qiu Yan's attention.
Upon seeing the person who had arrived, she thought to herself, "What a coincidence, it's like enemies meeting on a narrow road."
Bai Lu also heard the commotion on the first floor.
Noticing the surprise on Qiu Yan's face, she lowered her eyes and looked down at the first floor. "Master, do you know her?"
Qiu Yan shook her head: "I don't know him."
The girl by the fence looked at the arrogant woman, her changing expressions eventually turning into anger.
Then, the arrogant woman, supported by her maid, climbed the steps one by one.
The woman was none other than Qi Yuan, a princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
As she went upstairs, she arrogantly ordered the waiter, "Waiter, bring wine, the finest wine."
"Yes, sir, please wait a moment." The waiter withdrew and quickly went to fetch the fine wine.
After the waiter left, Qi Yuan continued walking, looking for a suitable table.
Unwittingly, she saw Qiu Yan and her servant.
She saw Qiu Yan facing a cold-faced beauty with a mocking smile on her face.
So young, not even fully grown yet, and already trying to be like an adult, flirting and chasing after others. What a spoiled brat!
After Qi Yuan went upstairs, she saw the girl by the railing and her expression turned fierce.
She gave a wink to the maid beside her.
Immediately, the maidservant let out a sharp shout.
"Get out of the way!"
"This road is so wide, you can go anywhere, but you insist on making me give way. I won't!"
The girl refused, but the maid gave her a hard shove, causing her to stumble.
It's true, like master, like servant.
"Ah..." the girl exclaimed. Qiu Yan stood up, hooked her foot, and stopped the girl from leaning forward.
"Thank you, young master." The girl glanced at Qiu Yan, her face flushing for a moment.
She was furious and ready to stand up for herself, but Qi Yuan and her servant acted as if nothing had happened, continuing forward to find a suitable spot.
The girl snorted coldly, "Fine, when you're out and about, it's better to avoid trouble."
Because Qi Yuan was walking quickly, she accidentally bumped into the singing girl in front of her as she continued forward, and her legs suddenly gave way.
"What an unlucky day! I've run into some filthy people one after another."
She had been rebuffed upon entering the palace today and was just about to vent her anger on someone when this singing girl walked right into her line of fire.
She glanced coldly at the maid beside her.
The maid's eyes turned fierce, and she immediately slapped the singing girl across the face.
"Are you blind? How dare you block my master's way!"
