CHAPTER 291 (1): HUGE COMMOTION

“You don’t have much meat on you, and mutton can nourish your body . ” Pei Qianhao cut a few pieces of mutton for her again .

It would usually be the servant serving the master, yet it was the complete opposite at this moment . Despite this, the servant wasn’t accepting the master’s kindness, causing Pei Qianhao’s expression to darken .

Su Xi-er knew that he was displeased and stood up to help him pour a cup of wine . “Prince Hao, this servant will serve you while you have your meal . ”

“This Prince orders you to eat the mutton . ” Pei Qianhao didn’t look at her, and only continued to eat . His tone, however, made it clear that there was no room for resistance .

Su Xi-er glanced at the mutton in the bowl before picking it up with her chopsticks . The taste is indeed pretty good, but its preparation method is too cruel . There are many ways of cooking lamb, but roasting it whole is the only one that consists of the little lamb experiencing a slow death .

“Prince Hao, this servant shall pick some vegetables for you . ” Su Xi-er picked up her chopsticks and began to pile vegetables on Pei Qianhao’s bowl until it was full .

The latter didn’t show any response apart from continuing his meal . The conversation between the two seemed to have halted, and Su Xi-er no longer ate as she served the food to Pei Qianhao .

Approximately two hours later, the prince wiped his mouth with a handkerchief from Su Xi-er before standing up and walking out .

Even when they were settling the bill, Pei Qianhao still didn’t say anything to her . Noticing the awkward atmosphere between them, the manager stared at Su Xi-er strangely . What happened?

After Pei Qianhao had already walked out of Cyan Wind Pavilion, Su Xi-er smiled at the manager . “Cyan Wind Pavilion’s dishes are not bad . It’s just that the private rooms only have one type of layout . You can consider decorating them in a variety of styles according to different customs . ” Su Xi-er then turned to leave the restaurant, leaving the manager rooted to the spot .

Miss is telling these words so that I can pass them on to Master .

As soon as she walked out, Su Xi-er was left looking left and right . Where has Pei Qianhao disappeared to? It’s only been a few moments since he walked out .

She continued searching for him, but still didn’t catch any sight of Pei Qianhao’s figure . Instead, she saw Feng Changqing walking over to Cyan Wind Pavilion .

Recalling that they were in public, Feng Changqing made a note to be courteous . “Miss Su Xi-er, why are you out here instead of staying in the posthouse?”

Su Xi-er answered politely, “We will be leaving Nanzhao tomorrow . I was simply accompanying Prince Hao on a stroll . Where are you heading to?”

“I’m stopping by Cyan Wind Pavilion to eat some small dishes . I’ll be packing my luggage again and following Prince Hao to Beimin tomorrow . ”

Suddenly, Su Xi-er felt a pair of eyes on her . Turning around, her gaze met with Pei Qianhao’s, who was already waiting for her a little ways away .

Hence, Su Xi-er pointed to the front . “Prince Hao is ahead, so I’ll be going over . ”

As she passed by Feng Changqing, she heard a low voice . “Yun Ruofeng is being placed under house arrest, and Qin Ling has been dispatched outside of the capital . Meanwhile, Imperial Physician Fang has become His Majesty’s subordinate, and is currently a spy at Yun Ruofeng’s side . ”

A single sentence had carried a massive amount of information . Su Xi-er noticed that Pei Qianhao had noticed their exchange, prompting her to purposely slow down her footsteps . “Prince Hao values flower growing skills very much, especially when it comes to Lingrui . Remember to play your part for Beimin when you get there . ”

Feng Changqing put on a respectful expression . “That’s a given . ”

Su Xi-er nodded and walked forward, with Feng Changqing heading in the opposite direction .

Just as she was about to reach Pei Qianhao, the latter began taking large steps forwards without waiting for her . Because her strides weren’t as long, Su Xi-er was forced to hasten her footsteps to catch up .
