The weak prince's queen

Xiao Zixuan turned gracefully, his gaze landing on Lin Ruoyun. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile. He asked softly, "I wonder if Miss has come here to enjoy the delicious food at Zuixianlou? If so, why not come with me? I've already reserved a private room upstairs."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoyun's beautiful eyes flickered, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she replied softly, "That's wonderful! I should have hosted a gathering to express my gratitude. After all, I've been so grateful for your help this time, and I'll always remember this kindness."

Xiao Zixuan waved his hand gently and smiled calmly, "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. Miss, don't take it to heart. Please go ahead." After that, he turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

Lin Ruoyun nodded slightly, secretly delighted. She had already developed a fondness for this young man, who was not only of noble status but also elegant and graceful. With light steps, she followed Xiao Zixuan upstairs.

Soon, the two, led by the owner of Zuixianlou, arrived at the largest private room on the top floor. As soon as they pushed open the door, an air of luxury washed over them. The interior was magnificent and ornate, with every detail radiating nobility and elegance.

Seeing all this, Lin Ruoyun became even more certain of her earlier suspicions about Xiao Zixuan's identity. If this was indeed the case, then this encounter was undoubtedly a perfect opportunity. Thinking of this, she secretly resolved to do everything in her power to win the favor of this young master.

At this time, the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou was all smiles and asked respectfully, "Sir, do you think we should still arrange the dishes according to our usual practice today?"

Xiao Zixuan nodded slightly in agreement, and then said, "Well, but today we have to serve all the signature dishes of your restaurant so that this lady can taste them."

The shopkeeper quickly responded, "Okay! Then please wait a moment, sir and madam, the dishes will be served soon." After that, he bowed and left the room, closing the door gently.

Xiao Zixuan smiled and said softly in a gentle tone, "Miss, please take a seat." The voice was like a spring breeze, making people feel extremely comfortable and kind.

Lin Ruoyun nodded slightly and responded softly, "Thank you, sir." Then, she walked slowly to the seat with lotus steps and sat down gracefully.

After both of them were seated, Lin Ruoyun glanced around, making sure no one was watching. Then, cautiously, she reached out and gently removed her headscarf. As the headscarf slipped off, a face of exquisite beauty gradually emerged. Beneath her arched, willow-shaped brows, a pair of large, watery eyes shone like stars in the night sky, luminous and captivating. Her straight, perky nose seemed meticulously carved, its lines flowing gracefully. Her cherry-like mouth, naturally rosy and alluring, was now delicate and alluring. A faint blush tinged her fair cheeks, making her appear even more charming and shy.

Xiao Zixuan, who had been staring at Lin Ruoyun, couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Although the woman before him was slightly less beautiful than the Princess of Jin, she was still one of the most beautiful women. Upon closer inspection, he could even see a resemblance between her features and hers. After all, ever since he last saw the Princess of Jin, Xiao Zixuan had felt that the women in the Crown Prince's palace were nothing but vulgar women. Lin Ruoyun's sudden appearance was like a spring of fresh air pouring into his already somewhat dry heart, stirring ripples within him and even causing a slight sensation of affection.

Feeling Xiao Zixuan's fiery gaze lingering on her, Lin Ruoyun began to feel a little uncomfortable. Finally, she couldn't help but blush and asked, "Sir, is there anything wrong with my face?"

Hearing Lin Ruoyun's question, Xiao Zixuan came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream, and quickly waved his hands to explain: "No, no, no, I was too rude and rude to you, my lady. It's really that your beauty is so stunning that I was fascinated by you for a moment." After saying that, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

At this moment, Lin Ruoyun was so delighted by the praise that her cheeks were as red as ripe apples. Her shy yet happy look was really eye-catching and had a unique charming charm.

Xiao Zixuan smiled and asked softly, "By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet, young lady." His eyes were always on Lin Ruoyun, full of curiosity and admiration.

Lin Ruoyun lowered her head slightly and answered in a mosquito-like voice, "My surname is Lin, and my given name is Ruo, so I'm called Ruoyun." She raised her head and glanced at Xiao Zixuan secretly. She happened to meet his fiery eyes and quickly looked away.

Xiao Zixuan nodded upon hearing this, and praised with a smile, "What a great name! It truly lives up to its name, just like the pure white clouds in the sky, fresh and unworldly, inspiring longing."

Hearing these words of praise, Lin Ruoyun blushed and said, "Thank you for the compliment, sir. What is your name?"

Xiao Zixuan paused for a moment, as if pondering his response. Then, he calmly replied, "Everyone usually calls me Master Xuan." He smiled at Lin Ruoyun, a smile that instantly illuminated the entire room like the warmest spring sunshine.

Lin Ruoyun's pretty face was slightly flushed, as tempting as a ripe apple. She raised her jade hand slightly, and slowly opened her small, rosy cherry lips with a little shyness, and called softly in an extremely soft, gentle and melodious voice: "Master Xuan..." Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, and the lingering sound was so beautiful that it made people intoxicated.

At this moment, Xiao Zixuan casually waved his broad and powerful hands and said loudly and generously, "Miss Ruoyun, if you are interested in coming to Zuixianlou to enjoy delicious food again in the future, just tell the owner my name. Not only that, this exquisite and elegant private room is also at your disposal, and all expenses will be charged to my account!"

Hearing this, Lin Ruoyun's heart couldn't help but beat wildly. Although she was extremely happy in her heart, she still tried to maintain her unique female reserve and dignity on the surface. She gently shook her head and politely declined, "How can I do this? It really troubles you too much, sir."

However, Xiao Zixuan waved his hand nonchalantly, and said with a firm face: "If I say yes, then it is yes. Miss, there is no need to worry!"

Seeing Xiao Zixuan's insistence, Lin Ruoyun no longer tried to refuse. Instead, she bowed with gratitude and thanked him softly, "Since that's the case, I would like to thank you for your generosity."

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door, and then the door was gently pushed open. It turned out to be the owner of Zuixianlou who came to serve the dishes. The owner walked into the room respectfully, bowed deeply to Xiao Zixuan, and said carefully and respectfully, "Sir, I have prepared the wine and dishes according to your previous instructions and are serving them to you now."

Xiao Zixuan nodded slightly to show his agreement.
