Princess Eight originally wanted to save face, but after hearing the maid's persuasion, she couldn't help hesitating.
Thinking of her mother's gloomy face, Princess Eight couldn't help shivering. She glared at Jing Yao fiercely and threatened:
"You'd better avoid me in the future. Otherwise, the next time we meet, I'll surely teach you a lesson!"
In response to Princess Eight's warning, Jing Yao smiled triumphantly and retorted:
"I'm already so adorable that everyone loves me. You'd better take care of yourself! If you're ugly and have a fierce temper, no one will dare to marry you!"
As soon as Jing Yao said this, Princess Eight, who originally wanted to let the matter go, blushed instantly. She clenched her fists and stared at Jing Yao, saying:
"Say that again!"
"I'll say the same thing even if I say it ten or a hundred times. But why should I listen to you? I won't say it!"
Jing Yao showed an infuriating attitude, and Princess Eight was almost fainted with anger.
"Little master, please stop talking!"
Old Xu's veins on his forehead popped out, and his heart was pounding. He grabbed Jing Yao's sleeve and pleaded, but unexpectedly, Jing Yao pushed his hand away with a look of disgust:
"Your palms are all sweaty. Don't wet my new clothes!"
Later, he was going to wear this outfit to meet Yun Xi!
Since a long time ago, Yun Xi had always praised him for looking good in pink, so he had developed a special fondness for it.
Not only were his clothes and even his underwear all in pink, but also the curtains, bedding in his bedroom, and even the carriage he rode in were all decorated in pink.
He didn't care about others' looks, only about whether Yun Xi liked it or not!
Seeing Jing Yao treasure his clothes, Old Xu twitched the corner of his mouth, with a look of resignation on his face:
The boy he had raised with his own hands actually started to dislike him for being dirty!
On the other hand, Princess Eight strongly felt despised by Jing Yao. Her eyes were ablaze with anger, and she was about to fight again, but the maid beside her hugged her waist:
"Princess, it's almost time. Let's go back to the palace quickly! Otherwise, if the Empress Dowager can't find you, she'll get angry again!"
Since Princess Eight had caused troubles one after another, although the Empress Dowager had given her freedom after punishment, she had also added a condition:
She must return to the palace within the stipulated time!
Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for her to go out next time!
The problem was that the dog hole in the palace had been blocked a long time ago!
Princess Eight struggled in her heart for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth resentfully, glared at Jing Yao, and without saying a word, turned around and left.
Watching Princess Eight leave, Old Xu just let out a sigh of relief when he saw Jing Yao shouting at her back:
"Hey! Are you just leaving like this? Where's your previous momentum?"
Then, Jing Yao deliberately said loudly to Old Xu beside him seriously:
"Old Xu, is there a direct relationship between momentum and height?!"
Old Xu was instantly frightened pale and desperately made a gesture to be quiet:
"Little master, please shut up!"
Isn't it good to be alive?!
Why was his boy never afraid of death? Did God give him a few more guts when he was born?!
Princess Eight's body, with her back to Jing Yao, couldn't stop trembling. The maid beside her tightly held her arm:
"Princess, don't be impulsive. Just take a deep breath!"
Hearing the maid's words, Princess Eight seemed to be greatly humiliated!
She had always been domineering in the palace. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
Take a deep breath? On normal days, she would have twisted off the other person's head!
But thinking of the Empress Dowager in the palace, Princess Eight finally endured it:
"A gentleman takes revenge ten years later. I won't let him go!"
Making a solemn vow, Princess Eight left angrily, and for once, didn't quarrel with Jing Yao anymore.
"How boring!"
Watching Princess Eight's leaving back, Jing Yao pouted and sighed:
"Our Xi'er is still the best. She's not only beautiful but also has an interesting personality. I can't wait to see her!"
Looking at Jing Yao, who was eager and full of expectation, Old Xu couldn't help sighing and vaguely worried:
"Sir, before you meet Miss Xi'er, you'd better think about how to explain your current situation to her!"
Hearing Old Xu's words, Jing Yao turned around and looked at his pink brocade robe, saying:
"What's there to explain? I'm just me. Xi'er is not like others, influenced by worldly eyes!"
When talking about Yun Xi, Jing Yao was confident and proud. Then he took out a stack of envelopes from his chest.
Seeing his action, Old Xu was stunned at first, and then shook his head helplessly.
He was wondering why the front of the young master's chest was bulging today. He was thinking that the young master didn't need to disguise himself anymore with his current identity and was going to remind him later.
Unexpectedly, it was filled with those letters he treasured the most!
Ignoring others' surprised looks, Jing Yao carefully unfolded one of the letters. His eyes were full of smiles:
"This is the letter Xi'er wrote to me before. She mentioned several times that she liked the dishes in Fumanlou very much. She also said that when I came to the capital, she would invite me to dine there."
"Old Xu, do you think if Xi'er knows that I've bought the whole Fumanlou as a gift for her, will she be very happy?!"
So as soon as he arrived in the capital, before even settling down, he hurriedly found the location of Fumanlou. He almost emptied the gold in several banks in the capital just to give Yun Xi a surprise!
Thinking of Yun Xi, Jing Yao's beautiful peach blossom eyes shone brightly. He couldn't help urging impatiently:
"Shopkeeper, why hasn't your boss come yet? I'm in a hurry. Don't delay my business!"
If it weren't for this Fumanlou, he would have rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Xi'er long ago!
How could he have waited until now?!
As the shopkeeper of Fumanlou for so many years, he had never seen such an overbearing person before. He didn't dare to be negligent and quickly comforted him:
"Soon, soon. Sir, please wait a little longer."
As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, the waiter who had gone out before rushed back. The shopkeeper's face brightened, and he quickly stepped forward. Looking behind the waiter, he didn't see anyone:
"What did the master say?"
The shopkeeper was not sure and hurriedly asked, but the waiter shook his head:
"The master said that this restaurant belongs to our madam. No matter who it is, even if they offer a mountain of gold, it won't be sold!"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment. Thinking of the madam he had seen before, he then nodded and said:
"I see. You can go down."
Then he walked towards Jing Yao, still polite as a businessman:
"I'm sorry, sir. Our master won't sell it! Because this is the restaurant our madam likes, so it's priceless!"
The shopkeeper made it very clear that no matter how much the other person offered, the restaurant wouldn't be sold.
Hearing this, Jing Yao frowned instantly. But as the son of a merchant, he understood that doing business was based on mutual willingness, and there was no reason for coercion.
However, thinking of Yun Xi, he still didn't want to give up:
"I'm unlucky today. I'll come again another day. I hope I can meet your master next time."
If the other person didn't want money, then he would find other ways. He was determined to make Fumanlou, which Xi'er liked, belong to her!
