Harem Pampered Beauty: Chen Xiangxue

Chapter 53

It turned out that he really liked himself.It turned out that he was not as miserable as Yeluyan said, idiot, thick-skinned, and unlovable.Murong Xue, who hadn't received encouragement and affirmation for a long time, had a warm current in her heart, and even her nose was a little sore.There is also a good man like Xu Ze who likes her regardless of her married status, she has no reason to be happy.But right now is not the time for her to look for happiness, Yeluyan's attitude made her feel that if she is a little careless, she will hurt Xu Ze.

She looked up at Xu Ze: "You can't like me."

Xu Ze was taken aback by Murong Xue's answer, she spoke very seriously, she was not at all coy like other women, such a serious expression made Xu Ze inexplicably nervous, his heart was beating wildly for a while before he dared to ask: " why?"

"Because, although King Zhaoyang has reconciled with me, he refuses to let me go. If you get too close to me, you will be affected."

So that was the case, Xu Ze let out a long sigh of relief, and said seriously: "Then you underestimate my courage too much."

Murong Xue said: "I didn't underestimate you, I just didn't want to hurt you with revenge."

Xu Ze smiled: "You should implicate me."

Murong Xue was originally in a serious mood, but he wanted to laugh when he said it.He is a good man, and his experience has been miserable enough. She can only treat him as a friend and partner, and can't cause trouble for him.Murong Xue changed the subject and discussed with him about the restaurant. In the end, the two divided the work, Xu Ze was in charge of finding someone to buy tables and chairs and a stove, and she was in charge of setting the menu.

Soon, Murong Lin prepared the meal.Lilac Peilan brought up large and small dishes, and everything was fragrant.

Xu Ze had never eaten such a salty, fresh and rich dish, and he was full of praise all night.He wasn't exaggerating, he wanted to please them, but he really felt that the food at Murong's family was delicious.He is different from Yeluyan. Yeluyan grew up with rich clothes and fine food, and was used to eating delicacies, but Xu Ze lived a quiet life since he was a child, so eating such rich and exquisite meals feels that the world is delicious.

Murong Xue secretly lamented the difference between him and Yeluyan.Xu Ze never hesitated to praise himself, but Yeluyan dismissed her with "it's okay".Her heart, which had been barren for a long time, was warmed by Xu Ze's sincere praise. She had lived in the ice cellar for too long, and a little bit of spring was so precious.

After the meal, Murong Xue took his father's arm and sent Xu Ze out of the gate together.She was worried that what happened last night would happen again.After Xu Ze left, she immediately closed the door and bolted it, as if there was a thief outside.Seeing this scene, Yeluyan's heart was beating wildly. This feeling of suddenly changing from a sweetheart to a flower picker was driving people crazy, but he couldn't do anything to her.

In the next few days, Xu Ze was busy in the store and did not come to Murong's house, which made Yeluyan secretly relieved, but he felt strange when he heard that Murong Xue left early and returned late, so he sent Zhang Yuan to find out what happened.

"Open a restaurant?" The pen in Yeluyan's hand dropped to the desk again.

"Yes. The storefront is already installed, it's called Duyiwei."

Unique.

Yeluyan sat down slowly. Did she choose such a name to commemorate their first meeting?

He still remembers the astonishing gaze she gave him for the first time in the restaurant.

He hated women coveting his beauty the most, so he gave this superficial little girl a cold look of disdain.Then he was even more disdainful, she actually wanted to elope with a man, she was indeed a wild girl from the countryside, with no rules and a thick skin.

But why did he fall into the hands of this wild girl?It's really not convincing to lose at all.

"Prepare the car."

As soon as Zhang Long heard it, he knew that the prince was going to Murong's house again.This time it was not like before, he just stayed outside the gate for a while, Yeluyan went straight up and knocked on the door, it was obvious that there was a gesture of invoking the teacher, Zhang Yuanshou stood at the gate of the courtyard and secretly prayed for Mrs. Murong.

Ding Xiang opened the door and saw it was Yeluyan, she was startled, and hurriedly bowed to salute: "Wanfu, my lord."

"I want to see Mrs."

"Let the servants inform you."

"No need." Yeluyan stepped straight into the courtyard gate, with long legs and big strides, and within a few steps, he reached the eaves.

Ding Xiang followed behind and hurriedly said: "Miss, the prince is here."

Murong Xue was writing the menu in the room, when she shook her hand, a large drop of ink fell from the tip of the pen.Before she was ready, the curtain was lifted, and Yeluyan had already entered the room, and the light was blocked by his tall figure, as if the room had suddenly darkened, and Murong Xue felt like a dark cloud was overwhelming her.

Nothing good will happen to him once he comes.

Murong Xue frowned subconsciously: "What is your order?"

Her unwelcoming tone made Yeluyan feel very unhappy, as if she didn't want to see him at all, he said displeased: "I heard that you are going to open a restaurant."

His tone was more like asking a teacher for a crime, Murong Xue became more on guard, and asked back: "How do you know?"

"Don't worry about how I know, it doesn't work anyway."

"Why not? I have reconciled with you, and you don't need to take care of my affairs."

"Even if you reconcile with me, others will still see you as the side concubine of King Zhaoyang."

Murong Xue met his gaze, and said word by word: "You mean, you are afraid that I will embarrass you?"

Yeluyan didn't answer either.

Is this the default?

Murong Xue said excitedly: "If you are afraid that I will embarrass you, then let me go. I will find a place where no one knows, and no one will know who I used to be. It will be done."

When Yeluyan heard that she was going to leave, he lost control and blurted out: "You leave the capital so that you can stay and fly with that Xu Ze?"

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't." Murong Xue blushed with anger.

Seeing her angry, Yeluyan immediately softened his tone: "You come back, we will still be the same as before, I will treat you well, you can do whatever you want
He had never coaxed her with such low-pitched words. In the past, she would have fainted from joy, but now she turned a blind eye to her and answered him firmly.

He said patiently: "If you are short of money, I will give it to you. Why bother to open a restaurant and work hard."

She didn't appreciate it, and said coldly: "I'm not short of money, and you don't understand what I want."

Yeluyan was annoyed, because what she said seemed to be saying that the person who understood her was Xu Ze.

"You can't open a shop with him, what's the point of spreading the word?"

In the end, she was still afraid of embarrassing him, so Murong Xue said angrily: "Yes, I opened this store together with Xu Ze, do you know why? Because Xu Ze happened to be the owner of the ivory bed in Meiguan. You forced me Pay back the money, so I found him and asked him for help. He supported me to open a shop to make money so I can pay you back. He believes in my ability, unlike you, who only thinks about your face, but never thinks about what I want. That day When you left Beijing, I stood in the restaurant to see you off. Many people downstairs looked at me, laughed at me, and thought I was a lunatic, but I didn’t feel ashamed at all. Because in my heart, you are more important than face Much more, but you, for the sake of your face, made things difficult for me everywhere, wanting me to stay under the shackles of King Zhaoyang's side concubine even if I leave the palace."

Speaking of grievances, Murong Xue burst into tears, "Yeluyan, even though we are divorced, I have never hated you. I have no complaints or regrets for everything I have done to you, and I am willing. But what you are doing now is forcing I hate you, hate you."

Yeluyan stared at her angry and wronged face, his heart was swept by a storm, he didn't realize that he was forcing her to hate him.He just wanted her back.

Murong Xue wiped away her tears, and didn't look at him anymore, she just sat down and continued to write her menu, her fingers trembling, and the handwriting was crooked.

Standing in front of her, Yeluyan looked at her wet eyelashes and tight lips. After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and took away the pen in her hand, saying: "The handwriting is so ugly that people can see it." I can’t even eat the food.”

"Don't worry about it." Murong Xue was angry and didn't look at him, she turned her back and sulked.There was no movement for a long time, she turned around and saw that he was actually writing the menu for her.

She couldn't believe it.

If there is Yunlong in his pen, the handwriting is indeed a hundred times prettier than hers.

He looked at her and said with a straight face: "If you agree to two conditions, I will let you open the shop."

"What conditions."

"First, this restaurant can only say that Xu Ze is the only owner. Second, you are not allowed to cook yourself."

Murong Xue couldn't believe that he was willing to agree, and immediately said: "Okay, you mean what you say."

He snorted: "I always keep my word, unlike you."

Murong Xue wondered: "When did my words not count?"

"You said, you promise that the future life will be sweeter than honey. You also said that if I want a child, you will give birth to me immediately. You are just a liar."

Murong Xue said, "I didn't lie to you, what I said was the truth." Although she gave up halfway, she really did her best.

Yeluyan snorted, "So what, it's not like you turn your back on him now." He even gave birth to a son, and he refused to let him kiss him.

"If you want a son, Miss Yu will give birth to you soon."

Yeluyan's face darkened, he turned around and opened the door curtain and walked out.

Murong Xue felt lost for a moment, picked up the menu he wrote down, and finally felt that the grievances in her heart for many days were gone.

Early the next morning, Mu Butler brought two men in their 50s and [-]s to see Murong Xue.

"Madam, this is the cook in the mansion. The prince said that he will put it in Mr. Xu's shop in the future, and Mr. Xu does not need to pay for it."

Murong Xue was astonished.Needless to say, the chefs in the palace are skilled in cooking, even the cooks in the small kitchen in Meiguan are very good at cooking.To have such a chef is naturally a dream.

"My lord also sent some ingredients, all of which are hard to find in the market, please take a look at them." The wooden butler handed over another list.

Murong Xue became more and more surprised, and Yeluyan's attitude changed too much.

"The old slave is leaving, and the prince also said that on the day of the opening, many people will come to support him, so that Mr. Xu don't have to worry about it."

Murong Xue stared at the butler leaving with dumbfounded eyes, almost wondering if the sun came out from the northwest.
