”Who doesn't know that Princess Jing has been doted on deeply? And now she wants to marry again as the descendant of the Yun clan. In Navy Tide Palace, this can be considered the first precedent.” Qi Yu had a smile on her face, but her eyes were ice-cold.
Gu Mingyan raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect Qi Yu to be such a vengeful person.
”You don't need to say anything sarcastic here.” Qi Rou came out from behind the stage, a smile on her face, as if she was seriously in love with Qi Yu. She then said softly, ”If you are truly filial, but you have been here for so long, yet you have never gone to see your father. I'm afraid that the weasel would not be here to greet the chicken.”
”Rou Er, long time no see. You're quite the eloquent one now.” Qi Yu covered her mouth and chuckled, ”I came here today to discuss business with father. If father is willing, I will accept the Misty Rain Pavilion.”
”What big words.” Qi Rou slowly raised her hand and put down the book in her hand. She leaned against the side of the stage and said with a smile, ”However, if it's about business, I would welcome you. I've already booked a room at the restaurant nearby. Why don't we have a nice talk.”
”I want to talk to Father.” Qi Yu raised her eyebrows.
”I'm the one negotiating business in Misty Rain Pavilion right now.” Qi Rou did not stay for long. She hooked her fingers at Gu Pingyan as she brought the two maidservants to a nearby restaurant.
He was clearly not prepared to let Qi Yu have a chance to resist. Seeing that Qi Rou was willing to bring him to watch the show, Gu Ming Yan stood up and followed her, walking beside her, ”You're confident.”
”She once acted so arrogantly in the Manor. Now, it's my turn.” Qi Rou smiled faintly.
Gu Danyan subconsciously shrunk her neck and thought for a second. Although Qi Yu had found a good marriage partner outside, Qi Rou had not only taken care of the Misty Rain Pavilion, she also did other things as well. If they were to fight against each other, they probably wouldn't lose.
Thinking of this, Gu Daiyan relaxed.
Not long after the two of them arrived at the restaurant, Qi Yu came over with a darkened expression.
If they really wanted to talk about this business, they really did want Misty Rain Pavilion. They needed to meet Qi Ming, and they should indeed talk to Qi Rou.
However, Qi Rou had laughed herself into her trap the moment she had gotten here. She had always felt uncomfortable in her heart.
The several of them randomly ordered some dishes. The waiter also frequently brought food to Prince Jing's mansion. He placed the cloth on his shoulder, then cupped his hands towards Gu Daiyan with a smile: ”Congratulations, consort.”
Only then did he remember that the second son was congratulating him on getting married. Unfortunately, she was broke and had no money, so he could only look at Qi Rou. Qi Rou helplessly took out a silver ingot and gave it to the waiter: ”This is given by Crown Princess Jing. Go and get some peach blossoms to brew.”
”Many thanks to Crown Princess Jing, many thanks to Second Young Miss!” The waiter held the silver in one hand while holding onto the second floor railing. He shouted to the people downstairs, ”A table of good dishes with two peach blossoms drunk, a plate of golden jade filled hall, plus an Luan Feng and Ming Ming, one serving of each of the candied date paste cake!”
The waiter shouted so loudly that almost everyone heard him. Qi Rou naturally responded to the call from Jin Yu Hall, while Gu Pingyan responded to the call from Luan Feng. The two of them looked at each other helplessly.
After a while, the waiter shouted, ”Today, the princess will treat you to wine!”
Once she said that, Qi Rou also started laughing. She gave another few more silver taels to the shopkeeper, who came up to give her his blessings. It was even more lively downstairs.
