Wealth and glory seek stability

"Your Excellency is too kind. My name is Shuang'er."

It seems that Lin Yun has seen a lot of the world. In her previous life, Jian Xi had only heard of this kind of role-playing club.

Because I want to save money to buy a house, I usually spend every penny carefully. I have never been to such a place before, and I didn't expect to be able to experience it today.

Jian Xi couldn't help but let out an exclamation of praise like a local dog: Ya!

but--

Jian Xi waved her hand, and Zi Cui took out a gold leaf from the sachet she carried with her and placed it on the table.

"Thank you for the reward, young lady." Shuang'er took it with both hands, her face calm. She did not become fawning because of the reward, and her movements were as smooth as ever.

"please!"

Shuang'er used a cup divider to place two cups of tea in front of Jian Xi and Shen Nanxing.

Shen Nanxing picked up the teacup and took a sip, but didn't feel any difference.

Jian Xi sniffed lightly, and couldn't help but be surprised. She took another sip and said, "Is this cloud tea?"

She had only drunk this tea at the shopkeeper's place four years ago. Since then, she had studied tea knowledge intensively and realized that this tea was even more expensive than gold.

Boyaju is so generous.

Shuang'er's lips curled slightly, with an appreciative look on her face, "Your Excellency's spirited tongue is exactly Yunwu Tea. This Tianwaitian is the most expensive private room in our Bojia House, so we can't be rude when entertaining distinguished guests."

"After your tea, my lord, I will leave. If you have any instructions, just call Shuang'er."

Shuang'er stood up gracefully, and every move she made seemed as if they were carved out of a mold.

The compartment next to it was blocked by only a wooden door, and Jian Xi looked unclear.

There was a knock from the servant at the door. "Sir, the food has been packed."

Jian Xi stood up and said, "Brother, let's go home."

Shen Nanxing pursed his lips and stood up silently. He has never been interested in these elegant things.

Xiaoshuang and Zicui each carried a food box.

When going downstairs, he ran into Xuanyuan Qiyuan and Gao Yunhuai.

Jian Xi: ...I didn’t eat enough during the banquet, so I went out to eat and got caught.

Shen Nanxing bowed: "Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Jin."

Xuanyuan Qiyuan bowed with a look of mutual admiration, "It turns out that General Shen is also a kind-hearted person. I said that with the food at the palace banquet, no normal person could possibly be full, so I thought of coming here to have a bite, but I didn't expect to meet General Shen, what a coincidence." Xuanyuan Qiyuan glanced at the two maids behind Jian Xi, carrying the special take-out food boxes for Boya Ju, and they were very satisfied.

He likes people who don't pretend the most.

After what happened at the palace banquet today, Shen Nanxing didn't want to get involved with these princes for no reason. He took a step aside and stood in front of Jian Xi, "Then we won't disturb your highness, and we should go back."

The two teams were stuck at the stairs, unable to move up or down, and it looked like they were about to attract a crowd of people.

Jian Xi naturally didn't say anything. She just bowed and left.

Gao Yunhuai looked at Jian Xi, whom he hadn't seen for many days, and felt empty inside.

When the girl left, she didn't even glance at him. Didn't she recognize him?

Shouldn't it be? His attire was no different from when he was in Pingjiang Prefecture.

Gao Yunhuai's mind was on Jian Xi, but he was used to suppressing his true thoughts. He withdrew his thoughts when he saw Jian Xi and his group get on the carriage and drive away.

"Shu Ping? What are you thinking about?"

Xuanyuan Qiyuan stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Gao Yunhuai.

"What's the matter?"

Xuanyuan Qiyuan teased, "Your sweetheart has gone far away."

"What are you talking about, Your Highness?"

"Don't pretend with me. I asked Yuwei to investigate everything. You even asked her to go hiking with you in Pingjiang Prefecture and gave her a hairpin. And there are those 18 ways to chase your wife on the desk..."

"Well!"

Seeing Xuanyuan Qiyuan talking without restraint, Gao Yunhuai covered his mouth and walked into a private room.

*

Xuanyuan Qiyuan sat upright, "Someone come!"

"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Go out. I have booked both the private rooms on the left and right. Tell the waiters to go down and serve a table of delicacies."

Each dish in Boyaju has a special name, such as mountain delicacies, seafood, gluttony...

The attendant lowered his eyebrows and saluted, "Yes."

Gao Yunhuai then sat down, staring at Xuanyuan Qiyuan, as if he wanted to stare a hole in him.

Xuanyuan Qiyuan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, then said, "If you ask me, you are a greenhorn. You are already nineteen and there is no one in your room who cares about you. Do you want me to give you some?"

Starting at the age of fifteen, royal family members would have female instructors teach them about matters between men and women. Although Xuanyuan Qiyuan was not keen on it, he understood a little bit about it.

Gao Yunhuai's ears turned red, and he declined politely, "No need."

"I've read all those random books you bought, but there aren't many that are useful. Today, the old man is holding a uterine feast, and General Shen is killing people for his adopted sister who is not related to him by blood. Aren't you afraid that he will get the upper hand over the other sister?"

Gao Yunhuai said firmly: "He won't."

If he was not sure whether Shen Nanxing was interested in Jian Xi before, then after meeting Jian Xi in Pingjiang Mansion, he discovered that they were very similar in some aspects.

He had already made arrangements and asked Shen Nanxing's colleagues in the army to find out that he liked the kind of gentle and considerate women who were willing to stay at home and take care of their husbands and children.

Apart from anything else, he was sure that Jian Xi was definitely not the kind of woman who was willing to be trapped in the backyard.

Xuanyuan Qiyuan played with the celadon tea bowl in his hand, thinking, "It's good that you know it in your heart. It turns out that inviting a few good friends to enjoy tea and the scenery is one of the greatest pleasures in life. This Boya Residence is making a fortune every day. My father even praised it at the court meeting, saying that this is the most elegant place for celebrities in ancient and modern times."

"I heard that the Xuanwu Dynasty was seriously injured in the decisive battle in the northern frontier, and they will send Princess Jiahe Zhang Cen'er to marry next year. If Your Highness does not want to marry, you can ask Concubine Zhao to help you keep an eye out when the Crown Prince selects a concubine next year."

"I know. I'm not that idiot like Xuanyuan Chaocheng, whose mind is full of love." Xuanyuan Qiyuan now has to backstab Xuanyuan Chaocheng a few times every day to satisfy his urge to do so.

Knowing that his friend took this matter to heart, Gao Yunhuai said no more.
