Chapter 378 Breakfast Together

Xirui was unaware of her royal father's worry at the moment, and was still excitedly planning where the gifts would go.

Displaying those things at the Cao family's birthday banquet is only the first step. If we can take advantage of Kangxi's momentum, then it can be considered truly glorious.

It’s just a pity for Kangxi. With all the preconceived ideas in his mind, he naturally resisted this gift that he had not even seen yet.

"Liang Jiugong, you'd better send someone to keep an eye on the Cao family first, so as not to disrupt the banquet again." Kangxi ordered with a wry smile.

He still felt that Xirui would not be so honest as to go to Cao's house to celebrate birthday.

However, since there was no evidence, he couldn't just stop her from going, so he sent people to guard near Cao's house.

If any accident really happens, it can be stopped in time.

Although Liang Jiugong didn't know why his master suddenly gave such an order, his long-standing muscle memory still made him respond immediately, "Yes, I will do it right away."

As he said that, he was about to leave.

But I couldn't help but murmur in my heart.

The Cao family is far away in Jiangning, so how come they were suddenly targeted by the master and had to send someone to guard their house?

Liang Jiugong shook his head slightly, not connecting Xirui and others who were also far away in Jiangnan with the Cao family at all, so he naturally missed the correct answer.

After he left the hall, Kangxi and Xirui chatted for a few more words before cutting off contact.

Xirui patted the plan book placed beside his pillow and fell asleep with a head full of ideas.

Until the next morning, she had rested well and got up on her own without waiting for Qingque to call her.

"Master, someone from the Xue Mansion came with a message saying that their young master wants you to have a chat in the restaurant first." Qingque walked into the room with the latest news.

Xirui paused for a moment before saying, "Then tell them not to prepare breakfast. Just go to the restaurant and have it all done."

She could almost guess what Xue Jing's intention was in asking her to go over and have a chat first.

It's just for today's matter.

She has been staying at home these days, so it's time to meet him.

Qingque nodded in agreement and quickly retreated to arrange all subsequent matters.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Xue Jing, who had received the news first, was already waiting there.

It would not be inconvenient for these two bosses to discuss business in their own restaurant.

In the exclusive room, freshly baked meals are placed.

"It's still early, let's fill our stomachs first before talking." Hunger can easily affect the functioning of the brain. This is what Xue Jing heard Xirui say to 066 when he was a child.

After so many years, he still has some understanding of Xirui's little habits.

Looking at the food on the table that suits her taste, Xirui raised her eyebrows slightly, but did not refuse, "Mr. Xue is thoughtful."

Isn't that thoughtful? The table is full of dishes, enough for four or five people to eat. He is afraid that she will be hungry.

Xirui glanced towards Qingque covertly, as if wondering if this girl, as a middleman, had conveyed the wrong message.

She didn't seem to say that she wanted to bring anyone along.

How can we finish eating so much?

Xue Jing's attention has always been on Xirui, so he naturally would not miss her hesitation at this moment.

Seeing this, he quickly explained, "I haven't had breakfast with the princess for a long time. I was worried that the princess' taste might have changed, so I prepared more."

"Princess, just pick the ones you like." Fearing that he had not served well enough, Xue Jing would have wanted to serve the meal for Xirui himself if there had not been servants around.

Fortunately, he still had some concerns, which prevented Qingque from becoming more wary of him.

Even so, he was still recommending things left and right, and there was no trace of the serious and cold look he usually had in front of his subordinates.

Dadong, who was standing a few steps behind him, had never seen his master with such an expression. What he saw and heard seemed to refresh his cognition, and he could not help but widen his eyes.

Is this still his master?

Dadong looked at Xue Jing and then at Xirui.

This was not the first time he had met Xirui, but why did he feel that his master's attitude was different every time he met her?

He couldn't help but think about it.

On the other side, Xue Jing was still busying around diligently.

There was a small mountain of dishes and bowls in front of Xirui, but he hadn't even had time to eat a single bite.

Finally, feeling that he might have discovered something incredible, Dadong swallowed hard and slightly suppressed the shock on his face.

I don't know if I should pretend that I didn't notice anything at this moment.

Or, it would be better to just find a corner to crawl into.

"Dadong."

Unfortunately, things went against my wishes. The more I thought about escaping, the more I couldn't escape.

Xue Jing still mentioned Dadong's name.

"Go tell the kitchen to bring another bowl of milk and bird's nest." These are all good warming and nourishing things. Xue Jing had them prepared early in the morning.

Dadong woke up as if from a dream, "Oh! Okay, I'll go right away."

Finally finding an opportunity to escape, Dadong just wanted to go out and get some fresh air.

Otherwise, he really couldn't bear it.

Xi Ruimu stared blankly at the food on the table in front of him that had hardly been touched, and finally couldn't help it.

"That's enough, no need to add more." Is he treating her like a pig?

Which kind person can eat so much in one meal?

Xirui called Dadong and said, "No need to go to the kitchen. You can go downstairs and have some breakfast first."

"Just go with them."

Xirui pointed at Yingwu and others who came with her.

"Just put them outside. Take them all."

It was just divided into inner and outer rooms, so that they would not affect each other and would not be blamed for deserting their posts.

Without waiting for anyone to object, Xirui took the initiative to decide the matter.

She distributed all the extra food on her table to the table outside.

Just a normal meal for two was left.

"Isn't this... too simple?" Xue Jing looked at Qingque and others busying themselves with some hesitation.

He was afraid that Xirui was used to the royal pomp and would not be able to get used to such "simple" meals.

Xirui picked up a soup dumpling and was about to eat it, but he rolled his eyes fiercely when he heard it, "It's just a breakfast, what else do you want to make it?"

Even in the palace, she would not order a table of food, take a few bites, and throw away most of it.

Once you leave the palace, you naturally won't have such thoughts.

"It's not the first time you're eating at the same table with me, why make such a big fuss?" Xirui shook his head to express his incomprehension.

Didn't they have dinner together before?

Everything was fine that time, why is it different now?

It seems like nothing happened in the meantime, how could it cause such a big change?
