"You know what's going on. If you encounter any difficulties, don't force yourself. Remember to send me a message."

Zhuo Qi clasped his fists and bowed deeply to Lu Jiao: "Thank you, Master!"

Seeing that Lu Ze and Chen Wen had already unpacked the food they had packed and placed it on the table, Lu Jiao patted Zhuo Qi on the shoulder.

"Go do what you need to do. There's no need to greet us here."

After Zhuo Qi said goodbye and went downstairs, Chen Wen was obviously relieved.

It was the first time he met the young master's friend, but this man's aura was a little unusual.

Lu Jiao noticed the change in Chen Wen's aura, but he didn't ask, nor did he intend to explain it.

Instead, he called the waiter and asked him to buy all the signature dishes from other shops on the street.

The entire long table was almost full.

The waiter placed the last stack of side dishes in the gap between the three plates and said half-jokingly, "I bought so many that one of the shopkeepers asked if our boss was researching new dishes."

"How did you answer?"

"Tell the truth! Anyway, no matter what I say, they won't believe it.

It is better to tell the truth and let them investigate it themselves."

After saying that, he took out the unused silver from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao waved his hand: "You answered very well, this money is a reward for you!"

"Thank you, sir!"

The waiter happily went downstairs with the reward money, leaving only Lu Jiao and the other two in the hall.

Chen Wen's tense back finally relaxed.

However, he had not forgotten that this was not the Prince's Mansion, and he would glance in the direction of the stairs from time to time.

I was worried that someone would rush up to the third floor and disturb the two young masters.

Lu Ze held food in both hands, but he still looked out the window.

The sunlight rimmed the green waves of Yongming Canal with gold, and rushed southward along with the water flow.

There was a commotion downstairs, but it soon died down.

Not hearing Zhuo Qi's voice amid the noise, Lu Jiao did not take the initiative to call for help.

When the problem really comes to a point where they are unable to solve it, she will come up with a solution.

Otherwise, if she were to be confronted with every little thing, she would be exhausted to death.

"Brother! Look! Is there a dragon boat coming over there?"

Lu Ze put down the beef bun in his hand and leaned half of his body out of the window.

Chen Wenhu was behind him, but because he was much taller than Lu Ze, it did not affect his view of the dragon boats in the distance.

Only when he could no longer see it did Lu Ze sit back down and continue eating.

There was still about two quarters of an hour before the dragon boat turned around, which was enough time for them to finish their lunch.

But when he turned around, Lu Jiao felt an unfriendly gaze coming towards him.

She didn't pause for a moment, but probed through with her mental power.

He was a man under thirty years old, with a bandit-like air, and the people around him looked very unfriendly.

When he first arrived at this private room, Lu Jiao looked down at the people around him.

At that time, the people standing here were a group of ordinary people, not this group of strong men.

Lu Jiao left a mark on the leading man and ignored him.

When it happens, deal with it.

Later, the waiter brought up a plate of jiaoshu, which is what people later called zongzi.

Lu Ze held his stomach, looking bitter and resentful.

"If I had known there were jiaoshu, I wouldn't have eaten that meat pie just now."

Lu Jiao tried hard to hold back her laughter and she noticed that Chen Wen also had a look of being full.

"Take this plate of jiaoshu back home and save it for dinner."

"Really?" Lu Ze rushed to Lu Jiao's side.

"Why would I lie to you?

Just one thing, you are full now, don’t jump around.”

Lu Ze nodded vigorously, fearing that Lu Jiao would go back on her word.

"Also, this glutinous rice dumpling contains meat and glutinous rice. Eating too much will cause indigestion. You can only eat one at night."

Lu Ze looked at a full plate of glutinous rice dumplings, about 5 or 6 in total.

My brother ate one, and brother Chen Wen and I each had one in the evening, so there were still 2 or 3 left!

Lu Jiao seemed to know what he was thinking.

"Save the rest for my midnight snack. If you want to eat more, just ask Uncle Ding to make it for you."

Lu Ze just put on a half-crying expression, but immediately became sunny after hearing what he said.

"Okay, brother! Aze has some monthly allowance! You can treat me to some jiao shu!"

"Where do you get your monthly salary?"

"Brother Hao gave it to me. Did you forget? We have been in the Prince's Mansion for almost a month!"

Has it been a month?

Life was so comfortable that she almost forgot about it.

But the next moment, Lu Jiao remembered something very important.

Why don't I have monthly allowance? Yan Yuanhao still owes me money!

In Guiyan Pavilion, Yan Yuanhao's nose suddenly felt itchy and he sneezed loudly.

He muttered to himself: Is it Yan Ning who is talking about me?

He rubbed his nose and continued the previous topic: "Did Lu Jiao say when she would be back?"

Xing Xuan had already changed into women's clothes and had her hair combed into a flying fairy bun, which was common among palace maids. It was completely different from her usual black or dark-colored men's clothes.

"She said she would be back in time and would not delay the prince's entry into the palace."

"This Lu Jiao, knowing that he had something important to do in the evening, still insisted on going to watch the dragon boat race!" Kuilang couldn't help but mutter a few words.

Out of trust in Lu Jiao, Yan Yuanhao still said a few words to defend him.

Of course, he hoped that Lu Jiao could slap Kuilang in the face again.

Kuilang has become much more humble these two days.

The guards in Guiyan Pavilion would no longer complain because of his failure at the hands of Lu Jiao.

Kuilang didn't know that his master was gloating in his heart, and began to report the progress on his side.

"I have been keeping an eye on Butler Chai for a while and found out that he has a sum of money hidden in the bank.

Before, his daughter-in-law Jiao Pozi had made a fuss with him and asked him to get rid of the mistress.

He actually bought a new house for his mistress, and then gave the money from the bank to his wife, pretending that he had dealt with it."

Yan Yuanhao didn't think that his good stepmother was so kind as to give such a large sum of money to the butler Chai for no reason.

"Keep watching him and see what tricks he's going to play."

"Yes." Kuilang responded reluctantly.

Staring at Butler Chai was too unchallenging, so he wanted to go to Prince Zhennan's Palace.

But under Yan Yuanhao's insistence, he had to agree.

It’s all Lu Jiao’s fault!

At the back door, Lu Jiao looked at the sun and decided to go directly to find Nanny Tong.

"Aze, I have to accompany your brother Hao to the palace tonight, so you don't have to wait for me for dinner!"

This was what Lu Ze heard when he got out of the car. The joy he had felt after having fun outside for half a day was diluted a lot.

Chen Wen put his arm around Lu Ze's shoulders and comforted him: "Young Master, you have something to do."

"I know, when I grow up, I can go out with my brother!"

Lu Jiao walked through the entire Guiyan Pavilion and found Nanny Tong near the main gate.

Nanny Tong had obviously received such instructions, and there was pity in her eyes as she handed her the clothes.

Worried that Lu Jiao wouldn't know how to put on the clothes, he stayed behind and helped her change them.

This just hit Lu Jiao's blind spot. She really wouldn't wear women's clothing of this era.

Even the way of wearing men's clothes was learned from the young eunuch in the prince's residence.
