525 Many People Surrounded the Sweet Shop!
In the Prince Xuan’s Manor.
Yun Linzhou locked himself in his room. There was no light in the room. He sat quietly on the chair, his expression was very gloomy.
At the door, his mother asked worriedly, “Zhou’er, you haven’t eaten much for dinner. Why don’t you come out and eat more? How about Mother make your favorite dragon whisker pastry for you?”
Yun Linzhou did not speak for a long time.
Princess Consort Xuan sighed softly. “I will talk to your father and elder brother about today’s matter. It’s all his fault for being too hasty and wanting to rope in Marquis Yongye. We didn’t expect the princess to suddenly have a stomachache. We didn’t take good care of her this time. This won’t happen again next time.”
As she spoke, Princess Consort Xuan’s voice softened. “I know you like to play with the princess. When Mother enters the palace to pay her respects to the Noble Consort, you can come along too, okay?”
Yun Linzhou closed his eyes slightly and retracted his vicious expression.
After a long while, he replied in an innocent child-like tone, “Mother, I’m not unhappy. Nuo’er is my good friend and will definitely not blame me. However, I’m going to rest now. Mother, please go back!”
Only then did Princess Consort Xuan relax. “The servants are waiting at the door. If you need anything, just give them your orders.”
She only left after she got a response from Yun Linzhou.
Before Princess Consort Xuan left, Yun Linzhou heard that Yun Chuhuai seemed to have come to his courtyard.
“Mother, is Brother still unwilling to come out?”
Princess Consort Xuan replied, “He’s sleepy and wants to rest. Don’t worry, Zhou’er doesn’t think about complicated things. Just coax him tomorrow and he’ll be fine.”
Yun Chuhuai’s deep gaze glanced at the tightly shut door.
Then, he said calmly, “That’s good. I was originally worried that he would be angry at us for not treating our guests well this time. In that case, I’ll return to my room to rest. Mother, I’ll take my leave.”
Hearing the sound of the two of them leaving, only then did Yun Linzhou open a pair of sharp eyes.
Previously, he had told Prince Xuan that he had invited the princess over. He also shared that the princess would be bringing Marquis Yongye.
At that time, Yun Chuhuai had spoken to Prince Xuan.
Yun Chuhuai claimed that Ye Siming was a talent they could bring over to their side.
Moreover, Marquis Yongye was getting more and more valued by the emperor, and his foster father, Bai Yi, had tens of thousands of soldiers.
If they could get Marquis Yongye to take Prince Xuan’s side, it would be a great help to them in the imperial court!
When Prince Xuan heard Yun Chuhuai’s suggestion, he immediately accepted it.
Other than the fact that Yun Linzhou really wanted to treat Gu Nuo’er to a meal and wanted to get closer to her,
The others were all trying to rope in Marquis Yongye.
However, they didn’t expect Gu Nuo’er to have a stomachache. She and Ye Siming left in a hurry without eating much.
Yun Linzhou slammed his fist on the table, his eyes filled with hatred.
Yun Chuhuai had ruined his plans. Just wait!
…
The carriage passed by the bustling street market.
Outside the slightly swaying curtain in the carriage, other than a few warm lights, there was also the fragrance of food from the stall.
Gu Nuo’er touched her stomach and looked at Ye Siming eagerly. “Elder Brother Siming, I just came out in a hurry. I hadn’t eaten my fill yet…”
She thought for a moment. “I want to eat Nanny Hu’s scallion oil noodles. Let’s go to the sweet shop to look for her!”
Ye Siming nodded in agreement.
Before the carriage stopped in front of Four Seasons Sweet Shop, they heard the coachman say, “Your Highness, Marquis, there are many people surrounding the sweet shop. The carriage can’t pass through!”
Gu Nuo’er raised her eyebrows and lifted the curtain to look ahead.
The sweet shop was surrounded by commoners, and there were a few shrews cursing on the streets—
“Everyone, come and judge. This sweet shop’s accountant is a shameless b*tch! My husband came to buy pastries, but she hooked up with him with just a few words!”
