"Miss, this is the plum wine that the guest on the second floor gave you."
Until the waiter's voice disrupted Tong Hui's speech.
Tong Hui raised his eyebrows and looked around as if he didn't understand what was going on. He wanted to find the person who delivered the wine, but Gu Mingyan was actually depressed because Tong Hui had been interrupted.
When the waiter heard her rejection, he immediately started trembling. He lowered his head even more and slowly placed the plum wine on the table, whispering to her.
"Miss, you must accept it. Dear guest on the second floor, you … I can't afford to offend you. "
Although he did not know what it meant, Gu Mingyan did not want to ruin his good mood. He nodded and pretended to accept it.
After the waiter had left as if a heavy burden had been lifted, Tong Hui raised his own cup and said softly: "The second floor of Huyue Restaurant is only used by the families of officials above the fourth rank. But when I looked at it just now, only the emperor's relatives sitting at the side had opened their windows to listen to the song, didn't the Seventh Prince give it to me?"
The moment he thought of Xiao Qiran, Gu Mingyan thought that Xiao Qiran had always treated him as a little girl whose teeth had yet to fully grow.
Let alone the plum wine, he might even hesitate over the wine and soup.
"If he's here, then he should come over and sit down to eat with me."
Gu Mingyan thought of a good reason for himself. Otherwise, if Xiao Qiran was trying to control him like a daughter, wouldn't that sound too intimate?
Even so, Tong Hui still choked on the wine in his hand.
Just how much affection did the Seventh Prince have for her!
Furthermore, she was actually able to say such words without any hesitation or blush. It was likely that those people that admired the Seventh Prince were so angry that their chests were about to clap and their feet were about to pop out.
Recovering from his shock, Tong Hui no longer dared to raise his head to continue sizing up the prince. He could only click his tongue at her face.
"I'm afraid it's just another disaster for a woman."
As the sound of his voice faded, Gu Mingyan's gaze immediately fell upon the zither girl. The zither girl was sitting in front of the zither, dressed in a blue dress even on a cold day. Her slender wrist moved back and forth on the zither, convex and charming, not to mention her slender waist.
After looking for a long time, Gu Mingyan nodded seriously: "That big sister is indeed pretty, I like this kind of beautiful woman the most. If I were a man, I would definitely bring her back."
This time Tong Hui did not choke, but instead looked at her with a frightened face: "You … Could it be that you like women? "
"I also like men." Gu Mingyan casually answered.
Tong Hui's face immediately became extremely ugly, he did not know what Gu Mingyan meant by those words.
Just as Tong Hui was lost in his thoughts, a figure suddenly appeared at the corner of the stairs.
Tong Hui's expression changed as his fan landed on Gu Mingyan's wrist, "Just now, was it not the crown prince who gave you the wine?"
"What?" Gu Mingyan suddenly turned his head.
He saw that Crown Prince Xiao Ze had already brought his servants over, but most of the people on the first floor did not recognize him, and the reason why Tong Hui did not go to the second floor, was because he was not the home of a senior official. Now that the Crown Prince had humbly come over, Tong Hui had a bad premonition.
Crown Prince Xiao Ze, what a beauty.
And in front of Gu Mingyan, he did not know how beautiful his face was.
This is truly …
The only thing he could do was to stand up and bow. Then, he saw the cold eyes of the Crown Prince Xiao Ze as he stiffly sat down.
Seeing that he did not need to bow, Gu Mingyan could only smile, and said softly: May I know why Your Highness has come?
Xiao Ze looked at Gu Mingyan with eyes as gentle as water, then looked at the plum wine on the table.
"Eldest Miss doesn't like plum wine?"
"I only try the taste when I drink alcohol. I don't drink most of it." Gu Mingyan was rather frank. Seeing him sit down, she then remembered what Tong Hui had said just now. She rolled her eyes and laughed: "Does Your Highness like beauties?"
Tong Hui stared blankly for a moment. With a sullen face, he lightly kicked her under the table.
Gu Mingyan's expression did not change, but he did not understand what Tong Hui meant either. He only heard Xiao Ze say, "Of course I like it."
"If Your Highness likes it, you can have someone directly gift the wine to Sister Qin Ji." Gu Mingyan immediately brought the plum wine over. Seeing Xiao Ze's expression change slightly, he said: "I know that the Crown Prince wants me to sit on the first floor. He can tie me together with him, but with such a roundabout way, I'm afraid he will cause Big Sister Qin Ji to misunderstand you."
[I am so smart. I guessed that the Crown Prince wanted to borrow me to get the moon first!]
As she said this, she also measured the distance between their table and the table.
The servant behind Xiao Ze was obviously unhappy, but Xiao Ze smiled faintly: "Is young miss joking?"
"Are you joking?" Gu Mingyan turned his head around, at a loss.
Was she joking?
Tong Hui immediately held his forehead and shook his head. He was afraid that she had not understood the meaning of the Crown Prince's words.
Noticing that the crown prince's eyes had slightly narrowed, as if he was sizing up the situation, he hurriedly said, "It's my fault for saying just now that the zither girl is a beauty. That's why Ming Yan misunderstood. Your highness, don't blame me."
"With Your Highness and big miss Prime Minister's Mansion here, how can they allow you to speak?"
The servant beside Xiao Ze looked at him coldly, and Tong Hui lowered his head in embarrassment.
Turning his head, Gu Mingyan was even more dissatisfied with their attitude, but it was as if Xiao Ze did not hear what the servant said.
She didn't have a good impression of the crown prince just because of this matter.
Without waiting for Xiao Ze to speak, Gu Mingyan had already opened his mouth.
"But His Highness the Crown Prince should never let the beauty mislead him." Gu Mingyan raised his eyebrows and smiled, but his eyes were frosty: "Although a beauty is great, you still have to pay attention to who is in the right place. "Empress Dowager has always told little sister Ziyan to prepare for this. His Highness the crown prince must not disappoint her and the empress's good intentions."
These words were said as if Gu Mingyan was crying out for his little sister, Gu Ziyan.
Xiao Ze saw that she was smiling, but there was no ridicule on her face, and the words she was saying sounded extremely intimate. Only then did some reason come to mind, thinking that she was bringing up their identities, she did not have any intention to reject.
"Then I won't disturb you today."
Xiao Ze laughed helplessly, but before he left, he took down his jade pendant and placed it on the table: "Consider this as a gift to the beauty.
After the crown prince left, Gu Mingyan glanced at the jade tablet on the table and tilted his head. "Big Sister Qin Ji is right in front of us, why is she staying here?"
Tong Hui's previously nervous body immediately relaxed as he looked at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "You don't understand? Then what you said just now? "
I just don't like the way he treats you, so I wanted to use my sister's name to remind him of what I can do to you and Zi Yan. I didn't see through his feelings for Big Sister Qin Ji.
When he finished, Tong Hui looked at the jade pendant on the table and said, "Then this …"
"Waiter, give this jade pendant to sister Qin Ji."
Gu Mingyan lightly threw the item into the arms of the waiter, and even smiled at Tong Hui: "Hurry up and praise me, I am very loyal to your brother."
A mouthful of tea was not enough for Tong Hui to drink. When he saw that she still had a pure and kind appearance, he secretly made up his mind.
This little sister should be taught to Bai Song himself! As a rich young master, he couldn't afford to offend the royal family's son!
