Chapter 201 013. Butler
(1st update)
Yun Guinuan thought for a while: "Okay, I'll have a word with Miss Xi."
"Then I'll go somewhere else first."
Xue Chijiu went downstairs and Yun Guinuan knocked on the door of the private room.
"Miss Xi, I'm not disturbing you." Yun Guinuan greeted Xi Jingyue, and when she saw Xiao Qiyou, she nodded to him, "There were a lot of people on the first day of opening, so please forgive me if I'm negligent."
Xi Jingyue pulled her to sit down: "Your environment is really nice, I will come again in the future."
Seeing that the relationship between the two was as good as that of two sisters, Xiao Qiyou sat aside with his face raised, looking away and saying nothing.
"As long as you like it," Yun Guinuan said. "Thank you for the gifts and snacks yesterday. The prince also ate them. He said they tasted very good."
Xi Jingyue opened her eyes: "Did the prince really say that?"
"He also said he would like to thank Master Xi." Yun Guinuan nodded, "I guess I will have dinner with Master Xi today."
She said it was delicious, but Xiao Huaiyu did say that he would return the gift to Xi Wen, so the process in between was not important.
He walked forward, got a little closer to Xi Wen, and lowered his voice.
Yun Guinuan looks like Butler Guo, he is very flexible and quick in doing things.
Xi Wen was stunned on the spot. What did the prince mean? Wasn't he praising the snacks?
"There are also gifts handed over by Lord Xi. I was too busy yesterday and didn't have time to open them yet. I'm really sorry. I will open them when I get back today."
"There are many people who are suspicious in this case. Let's not talk about who is behind it. It was these officials who neglected their duties that allowed thieves to sneak in and materials were stolen." Xiao Huaiyu suddenly mentioned the case, "We have to teach them a lesson. ."
"I wonder if she is finished now."
Facing Xi Wen's shocked gaze, Xiao Huaiyu got into his carriage, leaving Mr. Xi frozen in place.
Xiao Qiyou put his arms around Xi Jingyue's shoulders and comforted her, "Don't worry, the emperor will not touch Lord Xi. How can the Dali Temple Minister be so touchy? With my second brother and I here, it will be fine, eh."
Yun Guinuan thought that Xiao Huaiyu would go out in the afternoon and was afraid that he would be hungry, so she gave him a large dish with chopsticks.
Xi Jingyue sent Yun Guinuan out, took a look outside to make sure no one was paying attention, quickly closed the door and sat next to Xiao Qiyou.
Butler Guo went down.
Xi Wen replied, since King Rui is on his side, it will be easy to handle.
"Do you know what the emperor plans to do?" Xi Jingyue began to worry about her father.
Xiao Huaiyu leaned in the carriage, resting his forehead with one hand, closing his eyes and meditating.
Xiao Huaiyu supported his chin with one hand and looked sideways at Yun Guinuan's face: "I'm thinking about whether to go to the city defense camp."
Yun Guinuan picked up some food for Xiao Huaiyu: "Will the prince go out in the afternoon?"
"Miss Yun, do you have any other instructions?" Butler Guo received Yun Guinuan's look and took a step forward, as if he was ready for orders at any time.
The two of them drank and ate happily, and then almost parted ways. Xi Wen asked his subordinates to pay the bill.
It turns out that the person behind King Rui is His Highness the King of Jin.
"So you are the new official." Yun Guinuan nodded.
Xiao Qiyou touched his chin. He couldn't figure it out: "The emperor's uncle is strict but gentle. He is very good to us juniors. He shouldn't be able to do anything cruel. As long as he doesn't mess with the emperor's uncle, everything will be easy to talk about."
Xi Wen breathed a sigh of relief and raised his glass with a smile, "It cost the prince a lot of money. My daughter is already on good terms with Miss Yun. It is right for her to bring some gifts for a visit."
Sure enough, today's person is in place. He has the same surname as Guo Li, so he can't be a relative, but they don't look much alike.
"Go take her back."
On the other side, Xi Wen nervously ate with Xiao Huaiyu.
"I just finished my work and let's have a bite."
"Yes, yes, teach them a lesson."
A false alarm.
Xiao Huaiyu shook his head: "I will go to the city defense camp and leave the investigation to Master Xi. By the way, there is one more thing."
Yun Guinuan leaned on Xiao Huaiyu and sniffed gently: "Did you drink at noon?"
The man was tall and tall, standing upright. He looked to be around thirty years old. He was wearing a meticulous long coat with a neat collar. He stood by the door with a slight smile on his lips.
Xi Jingyue calmed down her heart that almost jumped out of her chest.
"Then do you think your father's matter has offended the emperor's uncle?" Xi Jingyue tightened her grip on Xiao Qiyou's sleeves.
Since King Rui said he likes her, does that mean they are on the same page?
"The young lady and the prince are back." He met Yun Guinuan's confused gaze and began to introduce himself, "My surname is Guo. I am a new official in the young lady's house."
he?
Changtian was stunned for a moment.
"Let Master Xi spend the money, and I agreed to invite you."
"Exit, I will go back and ask my daughter..."
Xiao Huaiyu cleaned his hands and came over, sitting next to Yun Guinuan: "There is an unpacked gift box on the table in my room in Dongkuaoyuan. Please bring the gift box over."
Butler Guo immediately ordered the dishes to be passed around. When the two of them walked to the dining room, the hot meals were already on the table.
Xi Wen was on pins and needles: "As long as the prince likes it."
"Then I won't disturb your meal now." Yun Guinuan glanced at Xiao Qiyou who was bored next to him, "We will talk about it later."
The snacks he gave were something His Highness Prince Jin liked, and the gifts he gave were things His Highness the Crown Prince didn't like. This should be an obvious hint.
The carriage stopped in front of the hot pot restaurant. Xue Chijiu happened to be wandering around the door. When he saw Xiao Huaiyu's carriage, he ran in and called Yun Guinuan out with an "ouch".
Oh, Miss Yun.
"Sir Xi, eat more. I am treating you, so you don't have to be polite." Xiao Huaiyu ate happily, "Thank you, Master Xi, for yesterday's snacks and gifts. I received them. The snacks are delicious and the gifts are also good."
Xi Jingyue pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "You and the prince are both too polite."
"Your Majesty, where are we going?" Changtian asked him.
Is the prince on the side of His Highness Prince Jin?
"Master, do you want to go take a look?" Anyway, it's nearby.
Xi Wen waved his hands, indicating that this was not a big deal.
"My servant asked the kitchen to prepare lunch. I wonder if Miss has eaten it outside?" Butler Guo asked.
Xiao Huaiyu frowned: "Come back with me for dinner."
The two of them left the restaurant and prepared to get into the carriage.
Yun Guinuan and Xiao Huaiyu walked inside, with Butler Guo following behind them.
Yun Guinuan climbed onto the carriage with a smile.
"I wonder where I bought the snacks that Miss Xi gave me yesterday. Miss Yun likes them very much. I want to buy them for her next time."
"Have you had lunch?" Xiao Huaiyu held her hand warmly.
"I've had two drinks." Xiao Huaiyu squeezed Yun Guinuan's little hand and played with it, "I'm not satisfied with the meal. Please accompany me to eat some more."
When I returned to Furong Garden, I was greeted by a strange man at the door.
Yun Guinuan didn't even look back: "Your Majesty, I want to eat more."
"Will the prince go to Dali Temple in the afternoon?" Xi Wen asked.
Xiao Huaiyu saw that the bowl was half full in an instant, and his temples began to "thump". He had just finished his lunch.
"Don't just pick up the food for me. Who said just now that it's only for two bites?" Xiao Huaiyu picked up the chopsticks and quickly filled Yun Guinuan's bowl.
The two of them had just had a few bites when Butler Guo came back with something.
Xiao Huaiyu: Hiccup~ I have to eat my love’s lunch no matter what.
