The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

But how could a servant like him meddle in his master's affairs?

Thinking of his master's question, You Yun thought for a moment about the inns his master was running, and then said, "Qianju is the best inn in the capital, and it is also under your master's name."

Thinking of his master's purpose, Youyun added, "Moreover, Qianju has always kept a room specifically for the master."

Although the master has not stayed there since the opening of Qianju, the master's room has always been there, and someone regularly takes care of it.

Having obtained the information he wanted, which was even better than he had expected, Jin Chenyuan waved for You Yun to lead the way. Before You Yun left, he added, "When we return to the manor later, go to the steward to collect your reward."

Upon hearing this, You Yun knew that he had done a great job in accordance with his master's wishes. His usually stern face broke into a rare smile, and he said excitedly, "Thank you for the reward, Master."

After thanking them, he spurred his horse and rode to the side and slightly in front of Jin Chenyuan and the other man.

These servants, unless their master needs them to lead the way, generally do not walk in front of their master. Even if they do need to lead the way, they will only walk to the side and slightly in front of their master as a sign of respect.

Yue Li watched Jin Chenyuan's actions from the side without saying a word to stop him. However, she hadn't initially expected that Jin Chenyuan would be among the inns in Kyoto.

However, thinking of Jin Chenyuan's identity, Yue Li fell silent.

It seems that the assets of Prince Chen beside her are probably not limited to Kyoto.

And so, led by You Yun, the group arrived at Qianju.

"Qianju, what a unique name for this inn." Looking at the sign above the inn's entrance, Yue Li had never seen an inn with such a name before.

The innkeeper, who had received advance notice, was already waiting outside the door. The innkeeper was a middle-aged man. Upon seeing the group arrive, he immediately stepped forward respectfully and carefully bowed to Jin Chenyuan, saying, "Master."

"Mm." Jin Chenyuan responded and led Yue Li and the group behind him into the inn.

Upon hearing Jin Chenyuan's response, the middle-aged man, who was over fifty, trembled with excitement.

However, he didn't dare to delay and immediately followed the group.

The shopkeepers naturally knew who their real masters were, but when they reported on the shop's accounts every six months, they always saw You Yun and his three companions, as well as the steward of the Prince Chen's mansion.

So this was the first time he had received his master at the inn since he took over the management of the inn. How could he not be excited?

It wasn't mealtime, so only a handful of people were sitting in the inn's lobby.

The innkeeper had already received the message from Youyun's men and knew the purpose of his master's visit. He stepped forward and led Jin Chenyuan and his party up to the fifth floor, to the room reserved specifically for Jin Chenyuan.

The entire fifth floor of the Qianju residence was reserved for Jin Chenyuan in advance. Although he had never stayed here before, no one was allowed to go up to the fifth floor to stay.

This is the first time the fifth floor has welcomed its owner since Qianju opened.

When they reached the fifth-floor stairwell, You Yun ordered the guards who were with him to stop there, leaving only him and Tian Dong to follow their masters up to the fifth floor.

Based on his understanding of his master, since Young Master Yue would be living here in the future, his master would definitely not want too many people to set foot here.

However, he could command the guards he brought, but Tian Dong was, after all, someone left behind by the young master, so he couldn't stop Tian Dong from following him up to the fifth floor.

As for Huanyun and Haoyun, they were sent back to Prince Chen's residence as soon as they entered the main street.

Hearing the commotion behind him, Jin Chenyuan did not stop them. After all, just as You Yun thought, he really did not want other men to set foot in Yue Li's place.

It should be noted that the four men accompanying him, including You Yun and his guards, were all real men, not the castrated men specially trained to serve ladies and young ladies.

The five-story inn, Qianju, was quite large from the outside. Yue Li didn't see the guest rooms on each floor, but the place specially prepared for Jin Chenyuan was an eye-opener for her.

With its luxurious and exquisite decorations and the ever-changing scenery at every turn, Yue Li felt that this was hardly a place for temporary residence.

This is clearly a beautifully decorated little courtyard!

I wonder how these things were moved to a place five stories high in ancient times?

Seeing all this, Yue Li felt envious.

She, who had seen three worlds in her lifetime, had never stayed in a house like this before—no, an inn.

Apart from the exquisitely decorated courtyard, the entire fifth floor only contained three rooms. One room, which was significantly larger, was the master's room, while the two smaller rooms were obviously guest rooms, presumably prepared for the servants who would attend to the master.

After being led by the innkeeper to tour the courtyard and the three rooms, Yue Li, quite naturally, chose a smaller room.

She wasn't the owner of this place, and the smaller room was exquisitely furnished, more than enough for her.

After the group finished looking around, when Jin Chenyuan let her choose, she pointed to the room she had chosen and said, "I'll stay in that one."

Seeing the room Yue Li had chosen, Jin Chenyuan frowned and asked, "Why did you choose that small one? No one is staying in the big room. You should stay in that one."

He had just looked at the two smaller rooms as well. Although they were nicely furnished, they were clearly decorated for servants, and the interior design and furnishings were not as comfortable as the master bedroom.

"No need, I won't be staying here for more than a few days. I'll move out once I find a place to live. Besides, wasn't that room reserved specifically for you?"

She also saw the layout of the room; it was clearly decorated like a man's room.

"Don't worry about me. I haven't stayed here since Qianju opened."

After explaining to Yue Li, Jin Chenyuan said to the innkeeper who had been waiting beside him, "Now have someone clean that room again and check it to see if there's anything wrong."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away," the shopkeeper replied respectfully.

Clearly, the shopkeeper understood the meaning behind Jin Chenyuan's words; he wanted Yue Li to stay in the master's room.

The innkeeper did not object to this; it was originally the master's room, and it was only a matter of a word for the master to decide who should stay there.

All he had to do was obey his master's orders and carry out the tasks assigned to him.

Seeing the innkeeper hurriedly go to find someone, Jin Chenyuan said to Yue Li, "Alright, since the innkeeper has gone to find someone to prepare the rooms, then Yue Li, you can stay in the big room. But it will probably take a while to prepare the rooms, so let's go down to the lobby and have something to eat. After all, you can only rest well if you are full."
