Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the Langjun Imperial Palace, Xiao Juan was sitting behind his desk and reading.
He was reading very intently as if he was concentrating all his attention on the book.
But every few moments he glanced up at the door.
As if he was waiting for someone.
Footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
Someone was coming!
Xiao Juan immediately put down his book and looked anxiously at the door.
The person who walked in was Granny Xiu Yan.
He immediately felt a strong sense of disappointment.
But his expression did not change. He asked calmly, “Why are you here?”
Granny Xiu Yan was worried. “It’s already so late and the Princess Consort isn’t back yet. Could she have met a bad person? Should we send someone to look for her?”
Xiao Juan lowered his eyes, his heart aching.
Niaoniao had promised him that she would come back as soon as possible, but it was already so late. If she wasn’t back yet, it meant that she was getting along so well with that actor called Ye Yin that she had forgotten to go home.
Logically speaking, he shouldn’t have gone to her.
After all, she was flirting with her sweetheart. If he brought people to look for her, wouldn’t he be asking for trouble?
However, he was really worried.
What if Niaoniao was really in danger?
Granny Xiu Yan was about to die of anxiety. “Your Highness, say something.”
In the end, his worry for Niaoniao prevailed. Xiao Juan stood up. “I’ll go find her. ”
Even if Niaoniao would despise him for being nosy because of this, he had to confirm if she was safe now.
Niaoniao’s safety was more important than anything!
Granny Xiu Yan hurriedly said, “I’ll get someone to prepare a horse for you now.”
In Green Garden’s private room, Yu Shi asked gently, “May I know where you want to learn?”
Yu Niaoniao touched her stomach. “I think we should start with dinner.”
Yu Shi was stunned. “Huh?”
Yu Niaoniao explained.
“I haven’t had dinner yet. I’m so hungry. Can you get me something to eat?” There was only tea on the table, but tea would not satiate one’s hunger.
Yu Shi pursed her lips and smiled. “I didn’t entertain you well. I’ll prepare food for you now. Please wait a moment.”
She left the private room leisurely.
Wei Liao mocked, “Your brain is filled with food. No wonder you can’t even handle your own man.”
Yu Niaoniao was both straightforward and strong.
“What do you know? Food is the priority of the people. It’s human nature to want to eat when you’re hungry. If you have the ability, don’t eat later!”
Wei Liao chuckled again. “That’s all you’ve got.”
Yu Shi returned quickly. Behind her were several maidservants. They served dishes and wine.
Yu Niaoniao was already hungry. When she saw that there was delicious food, she immediately picked up her bowl and chopsticks and ate impatiently.
Yu Shi washed her hands and picked up a drunk prawn with her slender fingers. She peeled off the shell and placed the crystal clear prawn meat in Yu Niaoniao’s bowl.
“This drunk shrimp is a famous dish here. Try it.”
Yu Niaoniao picked up the prawn meat and placed it in her mouth. Her eyes immediately widened, and she gave Yu Shii a thumbs up.
“It’s delicious!”
Yu Shi smiled and continued to serve her.
Yu Shi was very good at reading people’s expressions. Almost as long as Yu Niaoniao glanced at any dish, Yu Shi would immediately put that dish into her bowl. At the same time, she would smile gently.
After the meal, Yu Niaoniao was extremely satisfied.
Not only were there beauties in this place, but there were also delicacies and wine. It was indeed a paradise on earth.
No wonder men liked to come here for fun.
As a woman, Yu Niaoniao liked this place!
However, she quickly came back to her senses.
The bills at such a place must be very high. She wondered if her purse can handle it.
Poverty sobered her!
Seeing that Yu Niaoniao and Wei Liao were almost done eating, Yu Shi stood up and called someone in to clean up the table.
Yu Niaoniao took the opportunity to approach Wei Liao and asked in a low voice.
“we’ll go clutcn”
Wei Liao didn’t understand. “What dutch?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “It means splitting the fees equally. You pay half, I’ll pay half.
We won’t take advantage of each other.”
She couldn’t let herself bleed alone. She had to let Wei Liao share half the burden.
Wei Liao did not care about this bit of silver, but this did not stop him from teasing Yu Niaoniao.
“Why should I? You ate more than me just now.”
Yu Niaoniao directly blamed him. “You, a man, ate less than a little girl like me. How dare you blame me for eating too much?”
Wei Liao sneered. “I’m not that hungry. I’m not like you. You were like a ghost that was going to be reincarnated.”
Yu Niaoniao began to act shamelessly.
“I don’t care. Anyway, you brought me here. We have to split tonight’s expenses equally.”
Wei Liao complained, “Didn’t you earn a lot of money today? Do you have to be so stingy?”
Yu Niaoniao held her purse tightly. “My money is for serious business, not for spending money on wine and land.”
Wei Liao asked, “Should I spend my money on drinking and drinking?”
Yu Niaoniao nodded without hesitation. “That’s right! You look like an indecent fellow. You like to visit brothels and attract bees and butterflies everywhere.”
Wei Liao was speechless.
Although he usually liked to eat, drink, and have fun, he felt very uncomfortable being described so bluntly by Yu Niaoniao. He could let others say that, but not Yu Niaoniao.
Wei Liao frowned. “I’m not as dirty as you think.”
Yu Niaoniao clicked her tongue and deliberately said in an exaggerated tone.
“Yes, yes. You’re just flirtatious, not obscene.”
Wei Liao gritted his teeth. “If you say another word, you’ll settle tonight’s bill alone. I won’t pay a single cent!”
Yu Niaoniao immediately shut her mouth obediently.
As long as the other party was willing to pay, she did not mind being mute.
Yu Shi returned quickly.
This time she brought a pot of warm wine and some side dishes and desserts.
She spoke gently as she poured wine.
“Actually, it’s not difficult to make people happy. You just have to remember four words. ”
Yu Niaoniao asked humbly, “Which four words?”
“Play to his liking.”
Yu Niaoniao said in distress, “But I don’t know what he likes.”
Xiao Juan usually looked cold. Other than work, there was nothing else in his eyes. He was like a meticulously designed work machine with no personal preferences.
Yushi smiled and her voice was gentle.
“Then we can only try them one by one. We can start with the most common preferences, such as zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, or sing and dance to see which one he likes.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “What if he doesn’t like any of this?”
“Then try something else.” Yu Shi smiled.
“Actually, matching their preferences is just a method. You don’t have to be too constrained by it. The sincerity you displayed in trying to suit him is the most touching. ”
Yu Niaoniao was convinced.
It was because she had used too many tricks previously that Xiao Juan misunderstood her after her lie was exposed.
Having learned her lesson, she had to take it as a warning.
Yu Niaoniao said, “Now the question is, which one should I try first?”
Wei Liao interrupted, “His quietness is definitely useless. I suggest you start with singing and dancing.”
Yu Shi took the opportunity to ask, “Can you sing and dance?”
Yu Niaoniao scratched her cheek and said awkwardly. “I did learn a little a long time ago.”
Wei Liao was immediately interested. “Really? Show us..”
