Concubine falling from heaven

Chapter 8 Dinner with the Prince

Finally bored until the evening, my stomach began to complain. Although there were pastries, Meng Zihan didn't have much appetite to eat those things.Just shouting that he was hungry and wanted to eat, Xiao Haibin excitedly ran over to tell Meng Zihan that it was Prince Chen who invited Meng Zihan to have dinner.

Meng Zihan was about to ask Xiao Hai why he was so happy after eating, but Caiyun seemed even happier than Xiao Hai, saying that Prince Chen never dined with anyone else in the mansion except Commander An and Ye Huwei .This time I will invite Meng Zihan to have dinner together, that is a great gift from heaven, and Caiyun almost wants to thank heaven and earth.

Although I am a little speechless, but think about it carefully, even in a company in the 21st century, being able to have a meal with a manager would be envied by others, let alone having a meal with a prince now!Meng Zihan could only secretly smile bitterly.

Caiyun was still worried, and kept telling Meng Zihan to pay attention to this and that when eating, for fear that the informal Meng Zihan might make mistakes.

When they arrived at the dining place, Meng Zihan originally thought that Mu Xuanchen would entertain guests, "Greet the guests outside the door temporarily, and greet each other when the guests arrive".Unexpectedly, there was no one at the door, but Xiao Hai happily went in to communicate.

But fortunately, after entering the hall, Prince Chen had dinner first, otherwise Meng Zihan would rather be hungry than eat that meal.

Seeing that Meng Zihan had arrived, Mu Xuanchen ordered someone to serve food and invited him to sit down.Meng Zihan looked at those seats, but didn't sit in them for a long time. He had heard so many rules from Caiyun along the way, but now he really doesn't know when is the most suitable time to sit in them. Get into trouble.If the Prince Chen drove her out of the mansion in a fit of anger, wouldn't she be living on the streets?
"Why, Miss Meng doesn't want to have dinner with me?" It was still the same expression that couldn't see joy, anger, sorrow or joy.

Caiyun was so frightened that she quietly walked up to Meng Zihan and tugged at her sleeves, thinking that Meng Zihan was losing her temper and refused to sit down.Meng Zihan turned his head helplessly and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Can I sit now?"

Although he spoke lightly, this Mu Xuanchen seemed to have good ears, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It turns out that Miss Meng also knows how to obey the rules?"

After hearing this, although Meng Zihan was angry, he could only bear it.As the saying goes, "death from anger is a small matter, death from starvation is a major issue", no matter how angry you are, you have to fill your stomach first.But as soon as he sat down on his seat, Meng Zihan couldn't help but see that there was still a half-smile on Mu Xuanchen's face, and said, "Go ahead and laugh, who will make me soft-spoken."

Caiyun was in a cold sweat. It seemed that the rules I told her just now were all in vain. I really don't know if this Meng girl borrowed courage from the sky, why is she so desperate.But seeing that Mu Xuanchen didn't look angry, he was still relieved.

Meng Zihan looked around, there was a room full of servants and maidservants, delicacies from mountains and seas were set up on the table, but she and Mu Xuanchen were the only ones dining here, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The rich eat a meal, the poor eat a meal." Annual food." But as soon as the words came out of my mouth, I knew I was talking too much.After glancing at Mu Xuanchen, he lowered his head and stuck out his tongue, and hurriedly picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth.Unexpectedly, I choked on eating too fast.Just when he was at a loss, someone handed him a cup of tea, and he immediately took it and drank it, which relieved him a bit.

"Why are you so afraid of saying the wrong thing in front of this king?" Still with that smile, Meng Zihan felt a little horrified seeing it now, no wonder the servant girl in the palace was so scared.

"After all, I'm living under someone else's roof. What if you get upset and kick me out?" Meng Zihan pouted, but still didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Mu Xuanchen said lightly: "Didn't you find a way out for yourself and go to Commander An?"

This sentence sounds like a joke, but it also seems to be jealous, and it also seems to be saying that Meng Zihan is very scheming.However, the first two possibilities were immediately rejected by Meng Zihan in her mind. The first reason was that she felt that it was impossible for "Leng Wang" Mu Xuanchen to joke with a guest who was almost a stranger. The reason why Mu Xuanchen is jealous, so there is only the third possibility.

I endure, I endure, I endure again!Meng Zihan kept reminding herself.He lowered his head and adjusted his expression, then raised his head and put on an innocent smile: "I was just joking!"

"Are you kidding?" Mu Xuanchen seemed to be looking at Meng Zihan with interest.

Meng Zihan scratched his ears, and said with a smile: "Of course... it's a joke, you, no! If His Royal Highness Chen kicked me out, who would dare to take me in the whole White Tiger Kingdom, right? Seeing that Mu Xuanchen didn't show any displeasure, Meng Zihan immediately seized the opportunity and said, "You, oh! I mean His Royal Highness Chen Wang wouldn't let me, a weak woman, live on the streets, right?"

Now that things have happened, Meng Zihan really has no choice but to deliberately please this Mu Xuanchen.

"Is it only for this reason that you want to stay?"

Meng Zihan didn't like it when he heard it, what did he mean by that?Gritting his teeth, he glared at Mu Xuanchen, and said fiercely: "What do you mean? Are you saying that I have other plans? Okay! I don't stay here at the head office, right? In this way, His Royal Highness, you can also Don't worry, don't worry about me."

After finishing speaking, Meng Zihan slapped his chopsticks on the table hard, turned around and left.The maids and servants present were so frightened that they drooped their heads and dared not raise their heads, fearing that they would suffer disaster.Seeing this, Caiyun looked at Mu Xuanchen, and after seeing him nodding, he immediately chased after him.Zhang Butler and Xiao Hai were really taken aback when they saw this, they didn't dare to breathe, and focused their eyes on Mu Xuanchen.

Steward Zhang walked to Mu Xuanchen's side with a sullen face and asked cautiously, "Master, this Meng girl is too ignorant of the rules, do you want to help Master teach her a lesson?"

"No, no!" Xiao Hai immediately came over to dissuade, "Master, please don't hurt Miss Meng. Miss Meng is a good person. I believe that she has absolutely no intentions. Master, please don't drive her away."

"Xiao Hai! Are you out of control like Miss Meng?" Steward Zhang sternly reprimanded.

Steward Zhang is very strict in managing the palace, no matter the servants, maids and other matters are managed by him in an orderly manner, and the rewards and punishments are clearly defined.Although Xiaohai is close to Butler Zhang on weekdays, he is still punished for making mistakes.But Xiaohai knew this, and kept interceding for Meng Zihan.

"Okay!" Mu Xuanchen opened his mouth, Zhang Butler and Xiao Hai shut up immediately in fright, "Xiao Hai!"

"Master!" Xiao Hai responded immediately.

"Order the kitchen to prepare some meals for Miss Meng and send them over."

Xiao Hai and Butler Zhang were stunned for a moment when they heard Mu Xuanchen's words, Xiao Hai immediately said "yes" excitedly after reacting, and ran to prepare.Looking at Xiao Hai's back, Mu Xuanchen smiled slightly and shook his head.Zhang Butler looked at Mu Xuanchen suspiciously, feeling a little unfamiliar.After Mu Xuanchen looked at Steward Zhang, he also realized that his behavior today was not like his past style.

However, this feeling made Mu Xuanchen feel unique, not only did it not make him angry, but it made him feel that this palace had some human touch, instead of a cold building that only belonged to him.
