Gu Mingyan stared blankly at first, but immediately said helplessly, "Such a young age …"
"You're only three years older than me. Aren't you a little girl?" Ji Huai stuck out his tongue.
"I'm a girl?" Gu Mingyan squinted his eyes and stuffed two chilies into her bowl: "I'm your benefactor, eat."
Ji Huai's eyes widened as he looked at the dried chilies in the bowl. He tugged at Bai Shao and Yu Xiao Chen and shouted, "What a heartless woman!"
The few of them laughed until they were together. Gu Mingyan did not really let her eat, and after a while, he took them out and placed them in an empty bowl beside her. He then pulled up his sleeves and asked for a pair of chopsticks, specially giving them three dishes.
Compared to her two lifetimes combined, these three children couldn't remember to eat when they talked. She had to change her chopsticks and add them to the bowl one by one so they could eat while talking.
"Let me serve you then." The attendants at the side could not bear to watch any longer, so they walked up to serve the three young masters and young misses a meal.
Gu Mingyan thanked them and did not listen to the three of them gossiping about what had happened today. He only focused on eating.
Her brain had run out of ideas, so now was the time to relax and eat.
After eating a few bites, her body started to feel warm, until her face turned slightly red. Finally, she put down her bowl and chopsticks, fanned herself with her hands: "Wild meat is not spicy, it's hot."
Bai Shao ate until his face was completely red, while Ji Huai also stuck out his tongue.
Half of her jade white wrist was exposed, Gu Mingyan lifted the black hair that fell by her ear and was about to eat some pastries, when she saw the young master who had just delivered the lotus seed soup to her. "Young lady, you're eating too hot, why not drink some wine to heat it up?"
"Drinking is getting hotter now, thank you young master for your good intentions."
Gu Mingyan laughed lightly as he reached out to grab a piece of Dragon-Toothed Sesame and put it into his mouth. His other hand held it in a hollow manner so that not a single bit of the powder could be touched on the table, and after eating it, he threw it into the bowl that he had placed down the dried chili peppers, and used the handkerchief to wipe his fingertips clean.
Originally, she thought it was a very normal thing. In their eyes, it was eating and greeting, not to mention this slender jade white wrist, it was something that they could not take their eyes off.
However, Bai Shao noticed the change in their expressions, and said coldly: "If there's nothing else, Young Masters, don't disturb our meal."
Gu Mingyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Shao, feeling that what he said was correct, he decided to not bother with him.
However, one of the young masters still walked over, with a fan in his hand, he folded it up and returned it to Gu Mingyan's side: "Miss is so beautiful, tonight we brothers will take care of the boat, and we would like to invite you to have a tour together."
"This Silver Ear Lotus Seed Soup is so sweet and delicious, why doesn't Miss want to drink it?"
The two gongzi spoke up in unison. Ji Huai and Yu Xiaochen looked over with their chopsticks and bowls — the meaning behind this was too obvious!
On the other hand, Gu Mingyan picked up a piece of cake again: "I like to sleep at night, not swim in the lake. Although I like to eat lotus seed soup, but never eat the food given by strangers. In the end, my family's Little Rock only likes to eat and chat with this elder sister of mine. I'm afraid that all the young masters do not enter his eyes. "
As he said that, he casually raised his hand to wipe the rice at the corner of Bai Shao's mouth.
Her beautiful eyes twitched as she glanced at the two young masters. "All the children in my family favor my role as a sister and never like others to get close to them."
"Hurry, hurry. If you stay any longer, my sister will have to change from top to bottom."
Ji Huai climbed up smoothly and even leaned on Gu Mingyan's shoulder, sticking his tongue out at the young masters.
Where did all these hooligans come from, to the point where they even dared to take liberties with big miss Prime Minister's Mansion …
Thinking up to here, Ji Huai looked at her waist in a daze.
The faces of the young masters turned pale as they turned to leave.
Ji Huai then pulled Gu Mingyan's belt: "No wonder they dared to come and cause trouble, we are not wearing our academy's clothes, and your highness did not bring Linglong that she gave you."
"Find fault?" Whose fault are they after? " Gu Mingyan was startled.
"Of course I'm looking for trouble with you. First, where did you put Linglong? Did we lose it? "
Ji Huai sighed, why did he suddenly feel that this sister was unreliable? Just now, he clearly knew that those few scholars were coming up to look for them, so why did he give them a wink while talking?
Knowing that he was too lazy to turn his head back with that casual glance of his, Gu Mingyan didn't know what Ji Huai was thinking and only thought back carefully, "Just now, I forgot to bring it with me after changing my clothes. I'll go back tomorrow to retrieve it."
"Then why don't you bring Bai Shao and Little Chen to my place tonight?"
Ji Huai was relieved. If he lost the gift from the prince, wouldn't it be a huge crime?
If he went this time, it would truly be as Ji Huai said. Letting the Assistant Minister of Revenue recognize him would not be a loss.
Although Gu Xu was his own little brother, Bai Shao was the same.
His two younger brothers had to be cared for equally. After Gu Mingyan thought about it, he agreed to it immediately.
Yu Xiaochen held the bowl in her hands and said, "Then my big brother …"
Your brother is already a subordinate of the Seventh Prince.
Ji Huai opened his mouth first, but before he returned to his seat, he patted Yu Xiaochen's shoulder.
Gu Mingyan nodded to Yu Xiao Chen, then smiled at Ji Huai.
Although Ji Huai was only 11 years old, but he knew a lot of things, and did not have the airs of a young miss, but he was clever, and knew that Bai Shao had intentionally tried to get close to him, and still treated him like that, he must be a clever kid.
When he was full, it was already dark outside the window.
Ji Huai's attendant ran up from downstairs: "I've already called the carriage …"
"I'm full, let's go back and eat." Ji Huai rubbed his swollen stomach, waving his hand to have a few people follow him, the servants did not try to persuade him and followed obediently.
The three little fellows were full, but Gu Mingyan looked at the messy table and shook his head with a bitter smile.
Fortunately, Big Sister Shuang Hua did not come. Otherwise, she would have had her heart broken for these three young masters and mistresses.
The waiter was smart, and when he heard Ji Huai mention the palace, he gave him a few lanterns, and even gave him some silver, so that he could return it to Gu Mingyan and tell him to take care of everything. Ji Huai said that they would come back, but the next time he came, the owner was grinning from ear to ear.
After leaving the Snowy Gazing House, the streets outside the door became incomparably desolate. Only a few shops had lanterns hung outside to illuminate the place. In this huge city, there was only a firefly, and only the lanterns in the servants' hands were easy to use.
Ji Huai had already sent people to inform everyone, while he followed behind Yu Xiaochen and muttered to himself.
Bai Shao walked together with Gu Mingyan, and when he thought about what happened today, he softly said. "Elder sister, today, I …"
"Wait!" Gu Mingyan's footsteps paused, and he firmly grabbed onto Bai Shao's shoulder: "Up ahead … Has a shadow passed by? "
Bai Shao felt pain from being pinched, and immediately looked forward.
He only saw a white shadow flash at the end of the tunnel …
