After being expelled from the palace, she returned with her cub and amazed the whole city

"Let me think about it."

Xiao Jingzhao was thinking that the results would be announced two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Jiang Shuyue would be busy opening the restaurant during those days. She was so busy that he really couldn't bear to disturb her.

"The Queen Mother said she was not feeling well, and asked her to come to the palace to check her pulse?" The Queen Mother suggested.

"The Queen Mother can't do that. There are many patients in the female clinic, and she has brought several female doctors with her. She is very busy." Xiao Dai objected hurriedly.

Then her phoenix eyes rolled around, and a plan came to her mind, "Mother, have you forgotten the relationship between Sister Su Hui and Miss Jiang? Sister Su Hui calls her elder sister. My second sister and I have come to the capital, so we have to go to our relatives' house to get to know each other, right?"

"This is a good idea. You and Yun'er go to see her first. It would be better if you can bring Sui Sui to the palace to stay for a few days." The Queen Mother saw in Yannan that Jiang Shuyue was a reasonable woman.

What she didn't expect was that the story of her son making friends out of thin air was about himself.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Jingzhao said, "I'll ask Eunuch Ma to prepare. We'll discuss the exact time later. Mother and sister will have dinner first."

Xiao Jingzhao still showed his softest side in front of his family, just like he did in the palace before.

Xiao Jingzhao was very happy to know that his elder brother was engaged to the Su family.

Jiang Shuyue regarded the Su family as her relatives, and he felt that he was one step closer to her.

Seeing that his mother had no objection, Xiao Jingzhao told Eunuch Ma, "Send someone to bring Changle here for dinner."

After a while, the maids came in with exquisite tableware.

As soon as the maid walked to the corridor, she saw a pretty girl leading several maids to come towards her.

"Meet the princess." The maid knelt down and saluted.

Changle waved her hand, "No need to be polite." Then she continued to walk forward.

The maids who greeted her were stunned. Princess Changle looked too much like the emperor. The most surprising thing was that the princess could find the right direction even before she led the way.

They didn't know that Changle judged the location of the dining room by smelling the fragrance.

"Mother, Emperor brother, elder sister, Yun'er overslept." She remembered the address and etiquette that her elder sister told her on the way. She didn't even have time to look at the food on the table when she entered the dining room. She bowed first.

She looked up and didn't see Aunt Cai and her personal maid Jing'er.

A maid brought hot water, and Changle washed her face and hands, and instantly felt refreshed.

"Yun'er, stop looking, come and have dinner, you didn't eat lunch well, you must be hungry, right?" the queen mother shouted.

Xiao Dai walked over and took her little hand to sit below her mother.

As soon as she sat down, a maid came up to help her serve the dishes.

Xiao Jingzhao saw her looking at her dragon robe, as if she had something to ask but didn't dare to say it out loud.

He said gently, "I'm not used to it when I first come to the capital, but I'll slowly get used to it."

"Second brother, I picked up that portrait."

Changle felt a little guilty. If she didn't explain it clearly to her brother, the emperor, she might not sleep well tonight.

Looking at her guilty look, Xiao Jingzhao's eyes curved, "Second brother doesn't mean to blame you. Eat well. I'll tell you about Sui Sui sooner or later."

"Yeah!" Changle was very hungry. After a sip of hot tea, she ate her meal.

After dinner, Xiao Jingzhao left the Cining Palace. Changle couldn't wait to pull Xiao Dai and asked, "Big sister, what gift should I prepare for Sui Sui?"

During the meal, she learned that she would soon see Sui Sui, and she almost jumped up with joy.

Xiao Dai was thoughtful, as if she had seen through her second brother's mind. She said, "We don't know what Sui Sui likes, but we can prepare a gift for Sister Jiang."

That night, Changle really stayed in the Cining Palace.

...

Jiang Mansion

After dinner, Su Nan took Sui Sui to walk the rabbit in the garden, Su Jin went back to the courtyard to read, and Nangong Zeyue talked to Jiang Shuyue about the restaurant in the flower hall.

"We didn't make a mistake. Hu Qing is really capable."

Jiang Shuyue smiled and said, "If he dared to come to Juxian Pavilion to recommend himself, he wouldn't have come if he didn't have real skills."

Nangong Zeyue continued, "Today he personally inspected all parts of the restaurant. He asked the craftsmen to complete the paint tomorrow. Then he called the chefs in the kitchen together to discuss how to launch the menu for the champion banquet."

Jiang Shuyue's eyes lit up, "His idea coincides with mine. We have to take advantage of the popularity of the announcement of the results when we open the business."

"I don't know how the wheels in the blacksmith shop are made. Let Gao Mu take them and send them to the restaurant tomorrow."

"It's better for me to go and see it myself tomorrow. If there is anything inappropriate, the master can correct it in time." Jiang Shuyue said, turning her head and watching Qiu Ju cut off the wick that burned out in the candlelight.

The bright light shone on her delicate profile, and one glance was enough to make people fall in love with her.

Nangong Zeyue quickly looked away, picked up the teacup and drank it all, then stood up and said goodbye: "There are many things to do before the restaurant opens. Hu Qing suggested that I stay in the restaurant with him temporarily. If there is anything, I will come back to discuss with you."

"It is inconvenient for you to live in the restaurant, so how about letting the driver pick you up every day?" Jiang Shuyue said with concern.

Nangong Zeyue walked to the door and stopped, turned around and showed a bohemian smile, "Are you worried about me... No one to take care of me in the restaurant? It's okay, I'll take a servant with me."

Before Jiang Shuyue could come back to her senses, the man had already walked away like a whirlwind.

"What's wrong with this person? Is the restaurant as comfortable as home?"

Jiang Shuyue hadn't seen Nangong Zeyue's unreliable look for a long time. He was talking about the things in the restaurant just now, but why did he talk about living in the restaurant without any warning?

Qiu Ju turned and walked towards another candlestick, "Mr. Nangong has no wives or concubines at home, he has no worries, and it doesn't matter where he lives."

"It would be great if he and Yu Tong could fall in love with each other. They are a perfect match, and Yu Tong is considerate and not dull. They are like insulators, and have nothing to talk about when they meet."

"Miss, what is an insulator?" Qiu Ju turned on another lamp, her eyes wide open, full of questions.

"The so-called insulator means that the body instinctively rejects fate, and even the matchmaker can't help." Jiang Shuyue had to make up a lie.

If she explained to Qiu Ju what an insulator was, there was no electricity here, so she could only describe it as lightning.

Qiu Ju looked worried, "Miss, you are not an insulator too, are you?"

Qiu Ju actually wanted to say, you have seen all the good things about Mr. Nangong, why are you not tempted?

"No, my true love has not appeared yet. I have to wait a little longer."

Before he finished speaking, the candlelight in the room flickered, and a tall figure appeared at the door.

"Who are you waiting for?"

"Your Majesty."

Seeing that it was the emperor, Qiuju knelt down hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, you are here, why didn't you let someone know so that I can go to the front hall to welcome you." Jiang Shuyue stood up and bowed.

Xiao Jingzhao said to Qiuju, "Stand up," and walked towards Jiang Shuyue.

"Our relationship does not need that kind of empty ceremony."
