Chapter 278 An awkward relationship

Comparing Xiao Xuanyun's gentle smiling face, and looking at the arrogant servant just now, Mu Qiu was really a little puzzled.How can King Heng, who is gentle and courteous in his dealings with others, have such rude servants in his mansion?

"My lord!" Under the public, Mu Qiu still understood the etiquette that should be done.

"Why are you being so polite?" Xiao Xuanyun also got off the carriage, his gaze was always on Mu Qiu, and he didn't move a bit.

The previous servants seemed to realize that he might have offended someone who shouldn't be offended.He had no choice but to shrink back and hide behind Xiao Xuanyun, trying to reduce his sense of existence.Mu Qiu is not the kind of person who likes to make things difficult for others, so she didn't hold on to this matter.

"I haven't seen the lord for a long time. Is the lord still well?" For some reason, when facing Xiao Xuanyun, Mu Qiu couldn't completely relax himself.For example, she can joke with Lin Xu, dare to chat with Xiao Xuanyi, and even play a little temper with He Lianfeng, but every time she sees Xiao Xuanyun, she will always consciously show her flawless and perfect side.

"I'm fine, but you, didn't you accompany the emperor to Lanling before, why didn't you come back with them?"

"Some things happened on the way, so I was delayed for a while." Of course, he couldn't easily tell about his serious injury, and Xiao Xuanyun was not her family member, so there was no need to say it.

"You just arrived?" Xiao Xuanyun also noticed the subtle sense of distance between Mu Qiu and him, but at least they were no longer as unfamiliar as they were at the beginning, so he held back his unhappiness.

"Yes, I just entered the city, and I ran into the prince unexpectedly."

"Then this can be regarded as a kind of fate." Xiao Xuanyun's half-joking words made Mu Qiu not know how to answer the words for a while.

But then he continued: "You have come all the way to figure out the time and haven't eaten yet, how about I treat you to a meal?"

Mu Qiu really wanted to refuse.Because her original plan was to go to Li's mansion first, take a good rest after seeing her grandfather and grandmother, and then go to see Tong Hao to talk about business matters.But facing the smile on Xiao Xuanyun's face, Mu Qiu found that it seemed difficult for him to say the words of rejection directly.Although this is really strange, Mu Qiu attributed the reason for this phenomenon to the fact that he and Xiao Xuanyun may not be particularly familiar with each other.

Sometimes people are such animals. They can say whatever they want when facing their friends, but when facing someone they don’t know well, they will think twice before speaking.Although Mu Qiu doesn't like her personality very much, the habits she has developed since she was a child can't be changed for a while.

In the end Mu Qiu still agreed to Xiao Xuanyun's invitation, it was just a meal anyway.The restaurant where they ate was not the Juxian Building that Mu Qiu often went to, but it was also one of the best restaurants in Beiliang City.

"You seem to often go to Juxian Building to eat, so this time I will take the initiative to let you change the taste." He carefully explained to Mu Qiu.

Mu Qiu didn't care anymore.Since she taught shopkeeper Wu new cooking methods, these methods have gradually spread in Beizhao.So now no matter where he goes, the food he eats can be regarded as Muqiu's taste.Fortunately, her unique planting method cannot be learned by others, so the dishes of these restaurants cannot be compared with Tianxiangju and Juxianlou of Tong's family.

"It's okay, I can accept it."

Lu Yi was waiting outside the private room, naturally only Mu Qiu and Xiao Xuanyun were left in the room.At first, Mu Qiu didn't think anything of it, but while waiting for the order, she didn't know what to say, which made the atmosphere a bit awkward for a while.
