my villain is too cute

Chapter 379 Called by His Majesty (22)

Qinglong Street, Qiongyu Building.

It was true that Qiongyulou had something to do, Nan Zhou had made appointments with Shiyu several times during this period, but he stayed in the imperial study all day, and it was already evening when he returned to the mansion, and he didn't want to go out again.

Shi Yu sat in his private room, looking at the clear river outside the window with gentle eyes.

On the other side of Qinglong Street is a river named Qinglong River, which is the source of water for most of the town in Changqing.

There are luxuriant willows planted on both sides of the river. The overlong willows are blown into the river. When a gust of wind blows, the river surface will ripple, sparkling under the sun or lights, which is very beautiful.

There is a wooden bridge across the river, and the railings on both sides are also carved with exquisite patterns.

On the other side of the river is a meadow. Some people have specially repaired and leveled the weeds. People in twos and threes sit on it and enjoy the breeze. Children fly kites, and cheerful laughter comes from time to time.

There are flowers blooming like brocades everywhere, and they look happy and harmonious.

Shi Yu propped his chin, looked out of the window with a smile on his face, and muttered to himself: "I don't know if there is a chance to play with Ah Jin."

"Dong dong dong," came the knock on the door.

Shi Yu turned his head and rolled up his sleeves: "Come in."

The shopkeeper walked in and looked at the man with a smile: "My lord is here."

"Ah."

The shopkeeper is a fat middle-aged man with a kind face. He is also the butler who has taken care of Shi Yu since he was a child.

He put down the ledger in his hand and said, "This is from this month. You have already read the previous six months."

The previous books were reviewed half a year.

Shi Yu took it, with an elegant and gentle expression, and said with a smile: "I know, I may not have much time in the future, as long as I come, just send the account book."

"Did something happen, my lord?" The shopkeeper frowned worriedly.

"No." Shi Yu quickly waved his hand: "I have someone I like, and I will spend more time with him in the future."

The shopkeeper felt relieved, then thought of the rumor again, and asked uncertainly, "Is it... Your Majesty today?"

Shi Yu was startled, he didn't expect the shopkeeper to know, he nodded a little shyly: "It's him."

The shopkeeper opened his mouth hesitantly, he didn't expect the rumor to be true, but seeing the sweet look on the adult's face, he couldn't say anything.

I can only wish in good faith: "Then I wish you all the best."

Shi Yu pursed his lips and nodded with a smile.

The butler sighed, and was about to turn around when he was stopped again, and he turned back in doubt.

Shi Yu just remembered it, and he said gently: "Clean up the backyard as well, Ah Jin and I are going to come and stay overnight on Qixi Festival."

Hearing this intimate address, the shopkeeper was slightly surprised, but he was relieved.

Your Excellency is amazingly talented, and has the ability to judge people. It seems that His Majesty really loves Your Excellency, but it is not tolerated by the world.

He shook his head regretfully, and exited the private room with a reply.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Nan Zhou walked into the private room out of breath.

He sat down across from Shi Yu, raised the teapot and poured it into his mouth, the green robe on his body was also wet.

Shi Yu smiled, looked down at the ledger, and asked, "Are you sneaking out again?"

Nan Zhou put the teapot on the table with a bang, making Shi Yu suspect that there might be a crack in the hard rosewood.

He pursed his lips and looked at the white jade teapot, feeling a little helpless at the impatience of the man in Tsing Yi.

"Don't talk about it, I don't know what happened last night. Grandma made a fuss about jumping off the building, and she didn't persuade her to come down until midnight. Grandpa seems to have promised something." Nanzhou wiped the water stains on his clothes depressed.

"Jumped off the building? Did anything happen?" Shi Yu asked anxiously.

The prime minister's family took good care of him. When he was a child, he would go to the prime minister's mansion with Nan Zhou for dinner.
