Chapter 31 The adults are so kind to me
Lu Sui entered the Shifang Pavilion.
Chu Xiao looked at Jiang Yueyao who had come in with him and asked him with a smile: "Where did the Grand Tutor find such a small shopkeeper? Aren't you afraid that she will lose all your Wanhe Tower?"
Lu Sui lifted his robe and sat down opposite him.
Hearing this, he just said, "If she really has that ability, I won't have to worry about it."
After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Yueyao lightly.
Of course Jiang Yueyao knew that what he said was not true, but she did not care and kept smiling.
Chu Xiao looked surprised.
He had known Lu Sui for so many years, but this was the first time he saw him treat a girl like this.
Although the words were said with disdain, the protection between them was obvious.
The prince couldn't help but look at Jiang Yueyao a few more times.
As the crown prince, Chu Xiao has seen too many beauties. His crown princess was the most famous beauty in the capital at that time, and the concubines around him were even more beautiful in their own ways.
He has a very discerning eye.
But I have to admit that Jiang Yueyao is extremely beautiful.
Her beauty is neither ostentatious nor strong, without any aggressiveness, and she is so comfortable that people like her at first sight.
Especially those watery almond eyes, when they look at you, the shimmering light makes people want to get closer...
Chu Xiao hurriedly restrained his terrible thoughts.
Lu Sui was the powerful official he most wanted to win over. With his help, he would be invincible on the road to the throne.
Between the throne and the woman, the prince naturally chose the throne without hesitation.
Now that you have the throne, are you still worried about not having beautiful women?
By then, he can pick any of the girls in the three palaces and six courtyards.
Just as he was about to look away, Lu Sui spoke from the opposite side.
"The restaurant has recently served some Suzhou dishes. Your Highness can try them."
Chu Xiao looked back at him and laughed heartily.
"Okay, you're treating us today, I'll do as you say."
Lu Sui ordered Jiang Yueyao: "Order another pot of Xianglichun."
"good."
Jiang Yueyao turned and left.
Chu Xiao teased Lu Sui: "You are like the iron tree that blossomed two years ago. Are you tempted by worldly desires?"
Lu Sui leaned back slightly, leaning against the back of the chair.
Hearing this, he smiled faintly: "Her? A yellow-haired girl who is still wet behind the ears, is it worth my attention?"
"Imperial?" Chu Xiao laughed. "Lu Sui, Lu Sui, you have such high standards. I'm really curious about which girl can catch your eye."
"I have no interest in love between men and women. Your Highness, please don't tease me."
"Hahahaha, are you really going to be single for the rest of your life?"
"One person's fullness keeps the whole family fed. I think that's great." Lu Sui reached out, took the teacup and played with it, his eyes slightly lowered, making it hard to tell whether he was telling the truth or just saying it casually.
But Chu Xiao didn't care about these.
He remembered the purpose of his trip.
"This time, Father unexpectedly sent my fourth brother to the south to suppress the bandits." The Crown Prince's face darkened. "Two years ago, he was allowed to take advantage of this opportunity to gain merit, and now it's him again this year. Father already favors my fourth brother. If he is allowed to take credit again, his position in Father's heart will probably surpass mine."
Lu Sui didn't care much.
"Your Highness is overthinking this. No matter how highly regarded the Fourth Prince is, he is still only a prince. You are the Crown Prince, personally appointed by His Majesty. No matter how favored others are, they cannot surpass you."
"Can……"
"No buts, Your Highness, just do your part and let His Majesty see your diligence, that's all."
His voice is calm and gives people peace of mind.
The prince also calmed down.
He nodded: "Grandmaster is right, I am the Crown Prince, personally appointed by my father, no one can surpass me."
…
There is a curfew in the capital.
Wanhelou is open until 1:15 PM, and most of the customers leave around 1:00 PM.
Today, the upstairs, downstairs, and even the backyard are all full of guests.
Jiang Yueyao had been entertaining guests all night long, and she felt like her face was about to freeze from smiling.
After rubbing his face and sitting down to drink some water, he saw Lu Sui accompanying the prince out of the backyard.
She quickly raised her foot to meet him.
Smiling face.
"Your Highness, how is the meal tonight? Is it satisfactory?"
Chu Xiao looked at her: "Why don't you ask Taifu how his meal was?"
"Lord Lu naturally doesn't dare to say anything bad. After all, this is his territory. If he says something bad, wouldn't that damage his reputation?"
"Haha..." The prince laughed. He looked at the man beside him, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, jokingly saying, "Your little shopkeeper is not afraid of you at all."
Lu Sui curled the corners of his lips and said nothing.
Seeing Jiang Yueyao looking at him expectantly, the prince gave her a thumbs up.
"It tastes great, even better than what I had in Suzhou. I'll come back next time if I'm free."
"Yes, Your Highness is welcome to come often."
Who doesn’t like to be praised?
Jiang Yueyao had a proud look on her face and her voice was very loud and crisp.
Lu Sui glanced at her and left Wanhe Tower with the prince.
The carriage stopped at the gate. Jiang Yueyao respectfully watched the prince get on the carriage. After the carriage left, she looked at Lu Sui who was standing beside her without moving.
"My Lord, you won't leave?"
Lu Sui stood with his hands behind his back and looked at her sideways.
"Are you done?"
"Well, it's almost done, just waiting to finish it."
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you in the carriage."
"Are you going to give me a ride?"
"Just on the way."
After Lu Sui finished speaking, he strode towards the carriage.
Jiang Yueyao turned and entered Wanhe Tower.
Sulan came out from the kitchen with a tray in her hand.
Seeing her standing at the counter, clacking away at the abacus, he said, "Yaoyao, come and eat something first."
Jiang Yueyao didn't even raise her head.
"No, my master is still waiting for me outside."
As she spoke, she sorted out today's bills, put them in the cabinet, and checked with the kitchen and shopping department about the ingredients needed for tomorrow.
It took half an hour to finish all this.
She thought Lu Sui couldn't wait and had left, but she saw that the carriage was still parked there.
Jiang Yueyao ran over happily.
Qingxuan, who was guarding the carriage, opened the curtain for her and she got into the carriage quickly.
Inside the carriage, Lu Sui leaned back on a soft pillow and closed his eyes to rest.
As soon as Jiang Yueyao approached him, she smelled a faint aroma of alcohol.
It was the Xianglichun that she sent over tonight.
Xianglichun wine has a strong aftertaste.
There was a small sheep horn lamp hanging inside the carriage, shining on Lu Sui's face, making his fair skin look slightly red.
He was in a lazy posture and looked a little drunk.
Jiang Yueyao looked at him and actually felt that the Grand Tutor at this moment was so damn charming and enchanting.
"grown ups?"
She quietly approached him and whispered, "Are you asleep?"
Lu Sui slowly opened his eyes and saw a fair and tender little face standing under his eyelids.
He raised his hand, put it on her face and pushed her gently.
"what you do?"
Jiang Yueyao, who was pushed away with her face held, was somewhat speechless.
She sat up straight, serious.
"I thought you were asleep." She saw a teapot on the small table beside her and reached out to pour herself a cup.
Drink it in one breath.
"I'm afraid you'll have to wait too long. I haven't even eaten yet." She poured another cup and was about to drink when a slender, big hand reached out.
Jiang Yueyao paused and looked up at him.
"You want some?"
Lu Sui didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.
Jiang Yueyao quickly put down the teacup in her hand, poured him another cup, and handed it to him.
Lu Sui took it and drank it in one gulp.
He handed her the teacup and then spoke.
"What do you want to eat?"
"ah?"
"There's a wonton stand on the roadside ahead. They're delicious. Would you like to try some?"
When Jiang Yueyao heard this, her eyes lit up.
"Okay, okay."
She attentively poured Lu Sui a cup of tea.
He took it and took a sip.
She held her chin up and looked at him sweetly.
"My Lord is so kind to me."
