Hearing Shen Liyue say that she was going to treat everyone to a meal, Lu Yun simply got into Shen Liyue's carriage. The carriage was very spacious and it didn't feel cramped for two people to sit in it.
"I was wondering why you smell so good. Turns out you have incense in your carriage too." Lu Yun stared at the golden beast in the carriage curiously, "What kind of incense do you use? I wanted to ask you when I smelled it before, but then I forgot."
Shen Liyue glanced at Lu Yun with amusement, "Are you here to rob today?"
Lu Yun's face turned red.
"If you like it, I'll ask someone to prepare it. Next time you come to my house, I'll bring some for you." Shen Liyue said with a smile.
"That's great, thank you very much." Lu Yun and Chen Liyue have always been good friends, so he didn't bother to be polite with her.
The two chatted and laughed all the way to Yuelai Tower. When the shopkeeper saw Shen Liyue, he quickly invited them to sit in the elegant pavilion upstairs.
As soon as they sat down, a servant came to ask them to order food.
Shen Liyue asked Lu Yun, and Lu Yun said, "I love sweets."
"In that case, bring out all your signature dishes, and as many desserts as you have." Chen Liyue instructed the servant.
After hearing this, the servant quickly agreed and asked the kitchen to prepare.
Apart from the two of them, there were only their respective maids in the elegant pavilion. Shen Liyue and Lu Yun both took off their veils.
Before the dishes were served, Lu Yun heard a man's voice coming from the elegant room next door. The voice was not loud, but deep and powerful.
Seeing that Lu Yun was silent, Shen Liyue asked her curiously, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"No." Lu Yun smiled and shook his head. "I seemed to hear my brother's voice, but it wasn't clear. I might have heard it wrongly."
Just as Shen Liyue was about to speak, she heard another voice from the next room, "King Yi, this is very good, but we don't have the talent for business, so that manor..."
"It's really my royal brother!" Lu Yun stood up and knocked on the door between the two rooms.
"Royal brother!"
The man's voice on the other end suddenly stopped, and a young voice suddenly came: "But Yun'er?"
"It's me, it's me! Why are you here today, brother?" Lu Yun asked him through the door.
Lu Xingzhou laughed, "How can we talk through the door? Now that we're here, tell the servant to open the door."
The two elegant pavilions were originally connected, with only an openable door in the middle. This was also for wealthy families to hold banquets here. If one table was not enough, they could open the door and connect them into one elegant pavilion.
Lu Yun glanced at Shen Liyue and stammered, “I’m afraid it’s not convenient.”
Lu Xingzhou's smiling voice came, "It's okay, we are all family."
Chen Liyue originally thought that meeting a man from another world was not polite, but after hearing what Lu Xingzhou said, Lu Yun obviously wanted to go over again, so she nodded and agreed.
The servant opened the door of the elegant pavilion for them. When Lu Yun saw the man sitting next to Lu Xingzhou, her face turned red.
When the man saw Lu Yun, he stood up and saluted Lu Yun.
"Du Ruoheng greets Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Lu Yun didn't dare to look at him at all and just waved his hand.
Lu Xingzhou was also stunned when he saw Shen Liyue behind Lu Yun.
Lu Xingzhou had not expected that the person with Lu Yun today was Shen Liyue, and he was actually a little surprised to see her here.
I saw Shen Liyue stepped forward generously and saluted them.
"Greetings to Prince Yi and Lord Du."
Du Ruoheng also returned the greeting.
Lu Xingzhou accepted the gift magnanimously. "Since that's the case, let's sit together."
After all, there was a man from outside the family, so Shen Liyue ate the meal very carefully.
Lu Yun was the same. She became quiet as soon as she entered the door, and her noisy temper subsided immediately.
Since Chen Liyue and Lu Yun were here, Du Ruoheng did not talk about the previous topic with Lu Xingzhou again.
Instead, Shen Liyue asked, "I just heard that the prince seems to have a manor outside the capital?"
Lu Xingzhou was a little surprised that Shen Liyue suddenly asked this, "Miss Shen, are you interested in this manor?"
Chen Liyue was a little embarrassed. "My mother's family is a merchant family. Recently, they have entrusted me with the management of several shops in the capital."
Lu Xingzhou nodded slightly. "A few days ago, I went hunting with Ruoheng outside the capital. I saw a nice farm and bought it. The farm has elegant scenery and a good location. I was discussing with Ruoheng whether we should turn the farm into a teahouse so that we can have a place to rest when we go hunting outside the capital."
"It's just that neither of us is good at business, so we haven't come up with any good ideas yet." Du Ruoheng continued.
"How big is Zhuangzi? What's nearby? How many people come and go?" Chen Liyue asked three questions in a row, then felt rude and smiled awkwardly.
"If Miss Shen is interested, why don't I take her to the manor when I'm free? Perhaps after experiencing it in person, Miss Shen will have a better understanding of the situation there." Lu Xingzhou said.
"Your Majesty, tell me where the manor is, and I can go and see it myself."
"It's better to ask my royal brother to take you there. I'm afraid the farm may be hard to find... Royal brother, don't you agree?" Lu Yun blinked at Lu Xingzhou.
"That's right." Lu Xingzhou smiled. "If Miss Chen feels it's inconvenient, just ask Yun'er to come along."
Then...will Du Ruoheng go? Lu Yun thought to herself, but she was too embarrassed to ask.
"That's fine." Chen Liyue didn't hesitate too much. Since she had decided to follow her mother into business, she knew that being hesitant and hesitant would not work.
Everyone had their own thoughts while eating. Lu Yun was always thinking about whether Du Ruoheng would go with him. Even though the table was full of his favorite desserts, he couldn't taste any sweetness.
After the meal, everyone went their separate ways.
Lu Yun took the carriage back to the palace by herself, and Lian Dong and Yu Zhou got in the carriage to accompany Shen Liyue.
“In my opinion, this Prince Yi is a hundred times stronger than that young Marquis Fang.” Lian Dong said to Shen Liyue.
Shen Liyue wanted to laugh, "It's just a meal, what did you see?"
Lian Dong, however, was serious. "Your Highness Prince Yi is well-dressed, how can he not compare to that young Marquis Fang?"
Chen Liyue knew that Lian Dong had been brooding over what Fang Zhiran had done. Although she also hated Fang Zhiran in her heart, Lian Dong's words were indeed overstepping the bounds.
"Don't ever say something like that again." Chen Liyue straightened her face. "Now the Yong'an Marquis Mansion has nothing to do with us. We just need to live our own lives."
"Besides, Prince Yi is not someone you can gossip about. If it gets out, it will be no joke."
After hearing what Chen Liyue said, Lian Dong realized that he had spoken out of turn and did not dare to speak anymore.
Chen Liyue looked at Lian Dong and Yu Zhou, but she couldn't bear to say any words of reprimand.
These two people have been following me since they were young. They are said to be maids, but they are almost like real sisters.
They each have their own strengths, Lian Dong is smart and lively, and Yu Zhou is calm and steady. However, Lian Dong dares to say anything, which makes Shen Liyue a little worried.
