Song Qinghong, the host in Yanhailou, began to order food for them, and the waiter also introduced some dishes.

Before ordering, Song Qinghong specifically asked Shen Jiayu about his preferences and taboos, and only got four words in return.

Eat everything.

Song Qinghong ordered a lot of dishes this time; she wanted Shen Jiayu to try everything.

While waiting for the food to be served, they didn't speak. The atmosphere in the private room was a little awkward. Shen Jiayu stood aside feeling anxious. This was not the scene she wanted to see.

Due to her current identity as a maid, she could not speak out to remind them and could only do something else.

Shen Jiayu started to move, holding the teapot and slowly adding tea to Wen Xiangzhu. The tea was freshly brewed and was still steaming after being poured out. She pretended not to see it and accidentally spilled it on Wen Xiangzhu.

Unfortunately, her idea failed, as Wen Xiangzhu just stood up to look at the scenery outside the window.

She didn't see Wen Xiangzhu's livid face.

Shen Jiayu's crude acting skills did not fool anyone, including Luqi, because when she was pouring tea, she first took a few steps shyly, and then poured tea for Wen Xiangzhu artificially, and then leaned towards Wen Xiangzhu. Wen Xiangzhu could tell at a glance that she did it on purpose, and did not understand why he did this, so he got up and left.

Shen Jiayu, who had failed, received their puzzled looks and had to give up the idea, but she was not a complete failure, at least the room was not so awkward anymore.

Yanhailou serves food very quickly and all the dishes are served in a short while.

Song Qinghong called the waiter and said, "We don't like being disturbed. Since the dishes have been served, you don't need to come in again. We will call you when we need anything."

The waiter said happily, "Okay, sir!"

After they went out, they closed the door and thoughtfully hung a sign next to the door. After seeing the sign, the other waiters naturally would not go in to disturb them.

Song Qinghong took off her cone hat, and Luqi took it and put it aside. She said softly to Wen Xiangzhu, "Master Ye, there are only five of us here. Although they are servants of you and me, and Shen Jiayu is also my good friend, why don't we all sit down and eat together."

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Song Qinghong often got along with Luqi like sisters in the room. Luqi was also very sensible and never crossed the line outside. She thought that there was nothing wrong with sitting at the same table to eat, but she was not sure about Wen Xiangzhu's thoughts, so she had to ask.

Wen Xiangzhu's eyebrows moved slightly and he looked at her, "Alright, let's have fun together. Miss Song ordered so many dishes, it's thoughtful of you."

Song Qinghong smiled and said nothing more.

Shen Jiayu was allowed to sit down first, but Zhao Ji and Luqi were still a little hesitant, but they finally sat down to eat together.

After they started eating, the room fell into an eerie silence again.

She couldn't help wanting to do something to get them to interact, as Song Qinghong and Wen Xiangzhu's seats were too far apart.

How is this possible?

Shen Jiayu's pair of black eyes rolled around in her eye sockets, her red lips curled up in an evil smile, and she picked up a piece of fish closest to her and put it into her mouth.

“Cough, cough, cough! Cough… cough, cough, cough—”

She wanted to pretend that she had a fish bone stuck in her throat to attract Song Qinghong's attention, but she didn't expect that there was really a fish bone that she hadn't eaten out. She got it stuck in her throat and couldn't help coughing violently.

As she wished, Song Qinghong immediately stood up and rushed over. Holding the tea, she took one or two steps to Shen Jiayu's side, and patted Shen Jiayu on the back, imitating her mother's actions when she was a child, and gave her water to drink.

Shen Jiayu didn't even raise his head as he gulped down a cup of tea. As the warm tea went down his throat, the fishbone that had inexplicably appeared disappeared.

she lived.

"Thank you." Her voice was a little hoarse.

Song Qinghong looked at her worriedly, frowning, "Don't eat this fish, leave Luqi with me."

Shen Jiayu:?

She lost the chance to eat fish, but it didn’t matter, she had gained something. Now that Song Qinghong was here, she couldn’t leave.

Shen Jiayu tightly grasped Song Qinghong's hand and said pitifully, "I'm still very uncomfortable now. Maybe this fish and I don't get along. You sit here and keep me company."

As she spoke, she pulled Song Qinghong to sit next to Wen Xiangzhu, and she sat next to Song Qinghong with a smug smile on her face.

By the time Song Qinghong reacted, it was too late. She couldn't say anything to refuse and could only sit between the two of them to eat.

Wen Xiangzhu's expression remained calm throughout, maintaining the same smile that he always wore in front of outsiders, while he picked up the food and ate slowly.

Zhao Ji, who was standing by, listened attentively, finished his meal quickly, and stood next to Wen Xiangzhu.

"Miss Song, did you grow up in Kyoto? You seem to be very familiar with Kyoto. I haven't heard you mention it before in Ningyuan City."

Wen Xiangzhu was not hungry. He came here just as an excuse to stay with Song Qinghong for a while longer. He put down his chopsticks.

"Well, I grew up in Kyoto. Since you've come to Kyoto, I have nothing to hide. My father is Song Cheng." Song Qinghong knew that her identity would be known by Wen Xiangzhu sooner or later, so it would be the same whether she told it sooner or later.

She wouldn't be in much danger in Kyoto, as there were spies from the aristocratic families everywhere, and there were also guards on the streets.

"Is it Prime Minister Song?" Wen Xiangzhu's face was solemn, with a hint of admiration and excitement in his eyes.

Song Qinghong put down her chopsticks and looked at him, "Yes, you..."

Wen Xiangzhu sat facing Song Qinghong and said sincerely, "I admire Prime Minister Song very much. He is a warm-hearted person who hates evil. I never thought that I would have the chance to meet Prime Minister Song's daughter. This also fulfilled a wish in my heart."

He spoke frankly and Song Qinghong believed him.

"Thank you for your recognition, sir." Song Qinghong smiled slightly and said nothing else.

"jingle……"

The light sound of dishes and chopsticks knocking together caught their attention. Shen Jiayu tried his best to restrain himself from making any noise, but he still couldn't control himself.

Shen Jiayu knew that Wen Xiangzhu would definitely find the right opportunity to chat with Song Qinghong, and he would not miss such a good opportunity, so she started to eat with peace of mind.

They all stopped eating, and she was the only one left eating. Inevitably, there was a slight collision sound between the bowls and chopsticks, and the sound was particularly clear.

She smiled awkwardly and was about to say something.

"boom--"

The door of the private room was forcefully kicked open.

"Miss! Here!" A woman who looked like a maid glanced at them, fixed her eyes on Song Qinghong, and shouted loudly.

Luqi immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Song Qinghong, with a worried look on her brow, obviously knowing the visitor.

Wen Xiangzhu gave Zhao Ji a look, said nothing, and observed the movements outside the door.

"What's wrong?" Shen Jiayu felt the other party's malice and asked with concern.

"It's okay. Don't make any noise for a while. This is my own business." Song Qinghong shook her head, signaling her not to worry.

"So you're hiding here to hook up with some weird guys, great!"
