Rong Yu also knew that the restaurant run by the Rong family was not good, so of course she did not dare to let Jiang Li take it to her own restaurant. Instead, she went to an authentic Suzhou restaurant.
After everyone was seated, Rong Yu immediately ordered a dish of squirrel mandarin fish. Gu Xiyan's eyebrows jumped slightly when she heard this: "Miss Rong, let me order."
Rong Yu hurriedly handed the menu to Gu Xiyan, who immediately changed the squirrel mandarin fish to steamed mandarin fish and ordered a few more Suzhou specialties.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Li made a suggestion: "Squirrel mandarin fish is the most famous dish in Suzhou, don't you try it, Princess?"
Gu Xiyan looked at Zhou Mu: "Your Highness doesn't like sweet food, steaming is better."
Zhou Mu felt so sweet in her heart, she didn't expect that this girl would always remember his preferences. This was a detailed manifestation of her admiration for him.
Jiang Li suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "I, I don't know."
Rong Yu also hurriedly explained: "I don't know that His Highness doesn't like sweets. It's not intentional."
"It doesn't matter, he who doesn't know is not guilty." Gu Xiyan looked calm.
While waiting for the food to be served, Gu Xiyan and Jiang Li chatted about some trivial matters in life. Seeing Gu Xiyan's amiable look, Jiang Li made an invitation: "If the princess is free, you might as well go and sit in her humble residence. Mother also said
I was talking about leaving Beijing in a hurry and didn’t have time to say goodbye to the prince and concubine.”
Gu Xiyan showed a distant smile: "Don't worry, His Highness and I have just arrived in Suzhou and plan to spend a few days before talking about anything else."
Jiang Li also knew that his mother had been married to Suzhou for many years, and her relationship with the Marquis of Wanqing became increasingly shallow, let alone her relationship with Gu Xiyan.
In the past, she had heard her mother say that Gu Xiyan was unworthy of publicity, but she still occupied Nestle and her identity as the eldest daughter.
Now that Gu Xiyan is the prince's concubine, we still don't know what kind of fate she will have in the future. It really makes people sigh that things in the world are unpredictable.
Now if the Jiang family wants to ask Gu Xiyan to come to their door, they have to look at Gu Xiyan's face.
At this time, Rong Yu finally found the opportunity to test: "A busy person like His Highness rarely travels far away. I wonder how long Your Highness and the Princess intend to stay in Suzhou?"
She wished the couple could leave Suzhou early and go back to the capital.
Zhou Mu was too lazy to pay attention to Rong Yu's probing and just glanced at Gu Xiyan. Gu Xiyan immediately understood and answered: "It's not sure yet. Maybe I will return to the capital in a few days. If Suzhou is fun, I might as well stay a little longer."
No. As Miss Rong said, His Highness rarely travels far away, so there is no need to rush back to Beijing."
Rong Yu felt that Gu Xiyan said a lot of nonsense but did not give her an accurate answer.
At this time, Gu Xiyan asked Zhou Mu again: "What do you think, Your Highness?"
"Listen to Madam. If Madam wants to live in Suzhou for a year, it's not impossible to be her husband." Zhou Mu followed the good advice.
These words made Gu Xiyan amused. Her apricot eyes were dotted with stars, which were more beautiful than the shining gems.
Rong Yu and Jiang Li both felt that Zhou Mu's words were just a lie to make Gu Xiyan happy. With Zhou Mu's status, how could he stay in Suzhou at a critical moment in the battle for the reserve position?
A year long?
Only Gu Xiyan knew that Zhou Mu could really do such a stupid thing for her. What he said was definitely not just a lie.
After lunch, Rong Yu tried several times, but was exposed by Gu Xiyan doing Tai Chi. In the end, nothing came out, and in the end, Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan forced a large bowl of dog food. p>
So much so that when leaving the restaurant, Rong Yu's steps were a little heavy when she walked.
Just at this moment, a man wearing a dark green gown also came to the restaurant.
The moment she saw this young man, Rong Yu's eyes lit up: "Brother Jian!"
Gu Xiyan also saw the man's face clearly at this time.
What do you say about this man? It’s different from Xu Yanqing’s playboy face, nor Xu Yongqian’s elegant temperament, but a very pure and upright character that makes people awe-inspiring when they see it.
This man's face isn't even as good-looking as Xu Yanqing's playboy face, but it makes people's eyes light up as soon as they see it, and they can't look away.
Gu Xiyan recognized Jian Junyi at a glance. This young master rose rapidly and became a close minister of the emperor. Later, when Zhou Mu abdicated, Jian Junyi assisted the new emperor. He was an extraordinary figure.
Jian Junyi saw Rong Yu rushing up, took a few steps back without leaving a trace, and nodded slightly to her: "Miss Rong."
"Brother Jian, are you here to have lunch too?" Rong Yu's eyes lit up when she saw Jian Junyi.
Jian Junyi looked in the direction of Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan, and replied absently: "Yes."
These two such elegant and elegant figures in front of them should be the noble people mentioned by their father. The one who came from the capital is Zhou Mu, the eldest son of Emperor Cheng De, and the woman next to him is Zhou Mu's newly married prince's concubine Gu.
It’s sunset.
He didn't know whether he should say hello to these two people. He said hello because he was afraid of upsetting these two noble people, but not saying hello seemed impolite.
He soon decided that he still had to salute. It was better that he hadn't met her. Now that he had met, saluting was the most basic etiquette.
He was about to step forward to salute, when Gu Xiyan was already one step ahead of him and said: "So this is the famous Mr. Jian in Suzhou City. It's better to see him than to hear him once. I'm so glad to meet you!"
Jian Junyi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Gu Xiyan knew him. He didn't even know that he was famous in Suzhou City.
"Jian Junyi, a commoner, has met His Highness and the Princess." Jian Junyi stepped forward to salute without being humble or arrogant, with a posture as tall and straight as a pine tree.
Rong Yu was also a little surprised: "Does the princess know about Brother Jian?"
"Last time I heard someone talk about a young and promising Mr. Jian in Suzhou City. He was the eldest son of Mr. Jian. I just heard Miss Rong call Mr. Jian, and I knew that he was a person that everyone was full of praise for." Gu Xiyan
Just open your mouth and come.
After Zhou Mu heard this, he turned to look at her.
She was obviously the one who mentioned Jian Junyi to him, but it was someone else who mentioned it to her. How could she be so sure that Mr. Jian was Jian Tongzhi’s eldest son and not Jian Tongzhi’s other sons?
Could it be that just because Jian Junyi's face was pretty, she decided that this was Dalang Jian?
Jian Junyi was rarely praised like this in person. He felt a little uncomfortable for a moment: "It's just what others say. The prince and concubine are so complimentary!"
Gu Xiyan wanted to say a few more words to Jian Qunyi, the future powerful official, but Zhou Mu coughed hard at the side, and she couldn't ignore his existence even if she wanted to.
Seeing Gu Xiyan looking over, Zhou Mu said calmly: "I'm so full. Madam, why don't you accompany your husband to the city for a walk?"
In front of so many people, can Gu Xiyan say "no"?
"Listen to your husband's arrangements." She agreed obediently.
When Zhou Mu heard her call "husband", the corners of his lips raised.
Gu Xiyan secretly thought that if this was a peacock, he would definitely open his tail.
"My wife and I go first, you guys can talk slowly." Zhou Mu was in a good mood, and it was rare for him to have a good look towards Jian Junyi.

Can you guys guess who Brother Jian’s official spouse is?
