Cai Xiaolian noticed that Gu Nian was acting strangely and was puzzled.
What's going on between this father and daughter?
Nothing seems right!
There weren't enough rooms in the inn. After Eunuch Fu made the reservation, there were only three rooms left. However, the three rooms were still enough for their group.
The Gu family father and son and Lu Zheng shared a room, the mother and her two daughters shared a room, and Grandma Gu and Grandma Xiao, the two old sisters, shared a room.
The main reason is that the Lantern Festival is approaching, and many people from the surrounding counties are coming to the prefectural city to celebrate the festival and see the lanterns.
Those with family wealth naturally own houses in the prefectural city, while those without family wealth have to stay in inns.
As a result, it became extremely difficult to find a room in the inn in the prefectural city.
After putting their things inside, the group came out and sat down to wait for their meal.
"This Yuan Yuan, knowing that we need to stay at an inn once we get to the city, still rushes to find a toilet. What a nuisance!" Grandma Xiao couldn't help but complain as she watched all the dishes being served and Lu Zheng still hadn't appeared.
"The child probably has something to do! Let's eat!" Grandma Gu advised.
The group was also hungry, and when Grandma Gu spoke up, everyone started eating.
Gu Nian had only taken two bites when she saw the Emperor and Xue Qianyu approaching again. This time, there were no guards, just three of them.
Their table was right next to the Gu family's.
Now that Gu Nian is awake, who is this man that Xue Qianyu is following around like a grandson?
Is it his father? No, his father is a notorious womanizer, whom Xue Qianyu looked down on when he was a child.
Who could possibly make him follow me like this?
"Miss, why are you looking at me like that?" Gu Nian's gaze was too direct and undisguised. She was lost in thought again, and that's how she got caught red-handed.
"Because you're good-looking!" Gu Nian replied casually, without thinking too much about it.
Xue Qianyu: "..."
Young lady, what you said is too rash. As a respectable man, I don't know how to respond!
"Hahahaha..." The emperor burst into laughter, "Xue Xiao'er, the young lady complimented you on your looks, why are you glaring at her?"
Gu Xin tugged at Gu Nian's sleeve and whispered, "Sister, this guy is as handsome as Brother Yuanyuan, but you can't say things like that to a strange man on the street. It sounds like you're harassing him, which is inappropriate!"
Gu Nian glared at Gu Xin, annoyed. "Are you out of your mind?"
The emperor raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Xin: "Oh? Little girl, is your Yuan Yuan really as handsome as my Xiao Er? I've lived this long, and my Xiao Er is one of the most handsome men in our area! Where is your Yuan Yuan? Can I take a look?"
Gu Xin felt a little awkward and didn't know what to say.
"I'm sorry, brother. These are my two daughters. They're from the countryside and haven't seen much of the world. Please forgive them for disturbing you!" Gu Shouxin bowed to the emperor, somewhat bewildered.
Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng, this wasn't us deliberately trying to push you out, it was Xin Xin!
"Oh, no, no! The little girl's innocent words are quite amusing! Brother, where is the Yuan Yuan brother that your little girl mentioned, who is even more handsome than my second son? Is he your son?" The emperor waved his hand, appearing very easy to talk to.
He really wanted to know what this young man, whose looks could rival those of Xue Qianyu, the most handsome man in the capital, looked like.
If she's really that beautiful, bring her back to the capital to distract him, so that those young girls in the capital won't keep bothering Xue Qianyu and disturbing him from doing important things for him.
