Chapter 169 A Disagreement
As before, Gu Shuyan was pulled out the door early by Xu Shan'er, while Gu Yingjie missed this year's dragon boat race because he had to be on duty.
When the two arrived at the restaurant they had booked, the waiter immediately and politely led them up to the third floor.
"Wow, this is the private room with the best view!"
As soon as Xu Shan'er entered, she began to look around. The private room was spacious and unique, giving people a refreshing feeling as soon as they entered.
As expected, this place is so popular that so many people are vying for it; it's definitely different from ordinary private rooms.
As Xu Shan'er was thinking, she had already sat down at the table.
Various fruits and melons were already laid out on the table, indicating that they had been prepared early in the morning.
After exchanging a few polite words, the waiter withdrew, and Gu Shuyan then moved to Xu Shan's side.
In her previous life, Gu Shuyan had only watched a dragon boat race once. At that time, she had already married into the royal family, so the seat she sat in was the one that was built for the emperor every year by the lake. She had never experienced the feeling of watching the race from such a high vantage point.
"Sister Shuyan, what do you think of this room? It's not bad, is it?"
While stuffing something into her mouth, Xu Shan'er vaguely glanced at Gu Shuyan, who was peering outside.
"It's quite nice, the scenery is beautiful."
Gu Shuyan thought of the day she met Yun Yichen; the view from there seemed even better than this room, but the furnishings inside didn't seem as exquisite.
The dragon boats participating in the race downstairs have already started preparations, but since it's still early, the paddlers haven't arrived yet.
"It's so crowded!"
As soon as Xu Rao entered the room, he plopped down on a stool. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to have just been in a fight.
"Brother Xu, what's wrong?"
Pointing to a torn section of Xu Rao's sleeve, Gu Shuyan asked, puzzled.
"It was all because of Shan'er. She insisted that I go find that Princess Ruyue. Why should I get involved in a bet between two young girls? So I got into a fight with Liu Dekang over a disagreement."
Gu Shuyan was just guessing, but she didn't expect Xu Rao to actually be fighting so early in the morning.
The Xu siblings are really living a comfortable life; Gu Shuyan can only be envious in comparison.
"Shan'er, the princess has arrived, but if you need to call someone, go and call them yourself."
Xu Rao had just been laughed at by Liu Dekang, and he didn't want to cause trouble for himself now. Besides, it wouldn't be good for him to make things difficult for a little girl in public.
Xu Shan'er didn't necessarily want her brother to do it for her. Since the person had arrived, she naturally wanted to save face for him in front of everyone.
"Sister Shuyan, come with me to find Liu Ruyue."
With that, Xu Shan'er tossed aside what she was holding, grabbed Gu Shuyan, and headed downstairs.
As soon as she entered the hall, Xu Shan'er spotted Princess Ruyue standing in the crowd.
"Liu Ruyue, why are you still standing there when people have arrived?"
Xu Shan'er didn't care what the people around her thought, and immediately revealed the name of Princess Ruyue.
Upon seeing Xu Shan'er, Princess Ruyue's previously hesitant steps eased, and she immediately stepped forward, saying unfriendly, "What are you shouting about? I've only just arrived. Besides, what kind of attitude is this? How can you be so disrespectful to me in public?"
Seeing so many people making bets with them a few days ago, Princess Ruyue naturally couldn't renege on her promise in public. However, she could still make a fuss about Xu Shan'er's way of addressing her.
"Don't forget what the bet said. Today, the only person in front of me is Liu Ruyue, who will serve me tea and water all day. There is no noble princess here."
