With Xiao Xian's status and diet, the restaurant he chose would definitely not be a low-class restaurant.
Mu Yu Ting and her brother followed him to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. Before they even entered the restaurant, the waiter saw Xiao Chen and hastily greeted him with a smile. "Third Marquis, are you still following the usual practice today?"
Xiao Hong nodded slightly and walked up to the third floor of the restaurant in a practiced manner. She then walked to the innermost box.
Mu Xiangguo was the Prime Minister of a country, but he was a clean and honest man. He didn't like to waste money on people, so he rarely brought his children to places like this. Although Mu Yuting and Mu Zhangqing rarely came to this kind of place, they were people who had seen the world and were extremely calm.
A window opened to the south of the room and looked at the most famous place in the capital, the Green Jade Lake. Looking at it from this angle, there was a unique view every season of the year.
Mu Yu Ting chose the spot furthest away from Xiao Chen. She either turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window or chatted happily with Mu Chanqing. It was as if she treated Xiao Chen as air.
"Cough, cough, your highness." Although Mu Changqing had always been a bit slow on the outside, at this moment, he could keenly feel the strange atmosphere in the air. "I wonder how could I coincidentally meet you here today."
"I was just walking around. I didn't want to meet you two siblings." Xiao Cheng glanced in Mu Qiuting's direction, but when he saw her turn her head away, deliberately not looking at him, he couldn't help but secretly find it funny. "What about you?" What are you planning to do? "
Mu Changqing saw that Mu Yuting was still fighting on the dining table, so he knew that she wasn't willing to respond to Xiao Chen's words. He could only help her and said, "Seeing that today's weather is good, we decided to go out and ride our horses."
"Oh, you're going to the suburbs?" Xiao Chen's last words were slightly raised in surprise. "I also happen to be going to the countryside. Looks like we're going in the same direction."
"If it's like what the prince said, then it really is a coincidence." Mu Yu Ting, who had been silent all this time and was fighting against the delicious food on the table, suddenly raised her head and spoke coldly.
These words were filled with hostility, even a fool would be able to hear the displeasure and hostility in these words.
"Oh?" Xiao Cheng looked at Mu Qiuting with interest. "Miss Mu has finally spoken. I thought Miss Mu had not noticed your existence since just now."
For some unknown reason, even though it was just a simple sentence, it caused Mu Qiantang to feel a faint suffocating feeling in her heart.
In her heart, she said a few words to persuade herself not to compete with him. She then refocused all of her attention back on the table to eat in order to vent her anger.
She had clearly eaten lunch in Mu Taijun's room a long time ago, but her appetite had instead increased after Xiao Chen's outburst.
Looking at the girl in front of her who was devouring her food like a tornado, and completely different from the elegant way a noble girl usually ate her food, Xiao Chen couldn't help but find her interesting, so he gave her a few more glances.
Her skin was creamy and her palm-sized face had an angry look. It was extremely easy for people to have the urge to stretch out their hands and pinch her.
Although she wore men's clothing and was dressed as a servant, giving off a valiant and valiant feeling, the smell of a daughter in her eyes did not fade.
The waiter brought a bowl of vinegar fish into the room. He quickly put down the bowl and went out.
"Miss Mu," Xiao Hong's voice rose, seemingly full of laughter, but not that many people could catch. "Treasure Pavilion's sour fish is the best in the capital. You can try it."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Although Mu Yu Ting said this, her chopsticks had yet to touch the vinegar fish, and she used all her strength to finish off the duck blood soup in front of her.
Xiao Chen took in her actions and fixed his gaze on her. The smile in his voice became even wider. "Miss Mu, why do you specialize in eating a plate of duck's blood? Don't tell me you've been short of Qi and blood recently?"
Mu Yuting choked on the soup in her mouth and looked up to fiercely gouge out Xiao Chen. He, the main culprit, actually had the guts to bring up this matter with her!
"As long as we don't see someone in the future, how could we possibly lose all of our vital energy and blood?" Mu Yuting mumbled a few sentences and ignored Xiao Chen. She continued to eat the food in front of her and didn't touch the duck's blood again.
Although she was muttering these words, each and every one of her words was clearly heard by Xiao Chen. The smile on his face became even more pronounced. He no longer spoke to Mu Qiantang and instead cast his gaze in the direction of Mu Zhangqing.
Mu Yu Ting sat beside Mu Chang Qing. Mu Chang Qing had naturally heard her words clearly. Although he didn't understand the meaning behind those words, he could guess that these were definitely not good words from the way Xiao Chen looked at him.
Mu Changqing ate a mouthful of the vinegar fish and said to Mu Qiushan, who was at the side, "This fish really did a good job. No wonder it can be called the top fish in the capital. You should try some of it."
If the person standing in front of them was some noble young master from the capital, he would definitely jump out to try and force him to retreat. However, the person sitting in front of him right now was Xiao Chen, the Third Marquis! If the Great Buddha was provoked, the entire Mu family would be implicated.
Not to mention that Xiao Cheng hadn't made it clear yet, which made it even harder for him to refuse to harass her on her behalf.
Although Mu Yu Ting was not happy with Xiao Chen, she still considered the comfort of the Mu residence in her heart. She knew that she couldn't hurt Xiao Chen's face too much, lest it brought trouble to his family by angering him.
"Big brother, I naturally believe in your taste. Since big brother has spoken, the taste must be very good." Mu Yu Ting symbolically picked up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth.
The taste of the fish was indeed excellent, but at this moment, no matter how delicious the fish was, it was like chewing on wax to Mu Yuting. After all, how could she be in the mood to eat when faced with such a person who had caused her so much trouble?
Mu Changqing had grown up with Mu Qiuting and knew her mentality like the back of his hand. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but ask, "Qianyin, are you full yet?"
"Yes." When Mu Yu Ting heard his question, she immediately understood his intentions and nodded in agreement.
"Your highness, thank you for your hospitality. We're full now, so we won't stay here any longer." Mu Chang Qing cupped his hands in thanks to Xiao Xian, and Mu Yuting immediately jumped up from her seat, preparing to leave this place with Xiao Chen.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan also stood up. He patted the wrinkles on his clothes and said slowly, "This king is also full. I will go with you."
"I wonder where Your Highness wants to go after we separate later?"
Xiao Chan looked into Mu Qiantang's eyes. Hearing the probing tone in her words, he could not help but chuckle. "Since I am going with you, it will naturally be you guys who are going forward." "Why? Does Miss Mu have any objections?"
