Chapter 1166 - The Empress (2) (1/2)

Since the Empress requested it, Long Xi was happy to comply. After chatting a while, he bid her farewell, and left together with Long Qin skipping alongside her brother.

“Brother, you are terrible. You never bring me out to play. I am nearly bored to death in the palace.” Long Qin frowned.

Long Xi laughed and hurriedly tried to placate her. “It’s my fault. Today, you can do whatever you want outside of the palace. I will go along.”

“Don’t go back on your word now. I heard that there’s a restaurant in the east side of town with excellent food. You must bring me there to try it.” Long Qin smiled.

Long Xi a.s.sented and Ji Fengyan also went along, as she had nothing else to do.

The restaurant was not large but possessed a unique flavor. There were many customers and the three of them specially requested for a small, private room. Long Qin didn’t stand on courtesy and ordered a wide variety of dishes, happily racking up an expensive bill for Long Xi.

Long Xi grinned at his own sister. His sister’s innocent smile dispelled his usual worries.

As they ate, Long Qin kept glancing at Ji Fengyan from time to time.

“Brother, is this lady really an official guest? I never knew that women could become official guests?”

Long Xi replied, “The world is so big, there are many things you still don’t know. This lady here is a highly sought-after official. Don’t mess around with her.”

“So precious? And I thought you were just attracted by her beauty,” Long Qin said.

Long Xi just smiled and waved his hand. However, Ji Fengyan could feel that Long Qin’s words had a probing element.

What was Long Qin trying to find out?

And what did she suspect?
