Chapter 231
Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate and walked towards the cold cake stall. At this time, there were many people gathered in front of each stall. If he waited here to eat, he would probably have to wait for a long time.
Luo Shuiyao hesitated for a moment, then walked forward and said, "Master, if you are interested in these, why don't you go to the fourth floor first? The environment there is quieter. I will have someone send some of everything here up there for you to taste."
The old man turned his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Luo Shuiyao. Just this one look made Luo Shuiyao feel a terrifying sense of oppression. The old man suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, you lead the way."
Luo Shuiyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had just thought, since she had met this man by chance, why not take advantage of his influence? If so, her Qingyu Tower would probably become one of the most prestigious properties in the capital. Since the old man wanted to conceal his identity, she would just pretend not to know.
She gathered her thoughts and walked forward, leading the way. Ye Yunzhou glanced at her with a puzzled expression, but didn't say anything more. It was really inconvenient to ask more questions in this situation, so he followed them silently.
Arriving on the fourth floor, Luo Shuiyao led the old man directly into the Furui Hall, a familiar sight. The Furui Hall was considered the most exquisite of the twelve private rooms on the fourth floor, boasting the most exquisite decor and a prime location. After Luo Shuiyao opened the door, she leaned against it obediently, stepping aside to let the old man in. The old man stepped forward steadily, then surveyed his surroundings carefully.
The old man stepped into the private room and looked around. All four walls were adorned with landscape paintings, adorned with fresh flowers, and even a small couch with a chessboard placed on one side. Unlike the rest of the building, which was painted red and gold, this private room was painted in a very plain color scheme, creating a sense of sophistication within its ordinary state, which was exactly what the old man wanted. He nodded in satisfaction, quite pleased with the room's layout.
He stroked his beard gently and praised, "Very good. The owner of this building is really thoughtful."
Then, he turned to look at the two people at the door, motioning them to come in, and then cast his gaze on Luo Shuiyao and said, "Take off your veil while you are inside the house."
Luo Shuiyao responded respectfully and took off her veil.
The old man was slightly moved by this. He thought that this woman must be extraordinary to have captured Ye Yunzhou's attention, but he hadn't expected her to be so stunningly beautiful. However, there were many beauties in the palace, and he was no stranger to the world. Before either of them noticed, he had regained his composure and continued, "You're quite pretty, young lady. I wonder what your relationship is with the owner of this building?"
Ye Yunzhou also cast his gaze towards her, his eyes filled with questions. As for Luo Shuiyao's need for assistance, he naturally couldn't do it himself, so he handed it all off to Ye Yi. Ye Yi assumed he knew the situation, and since he had specifically told him not to report to him, Ye Yi remained silent. Therefore, Ye Yunzhou was unaware of the situation. Although he had some guesses, he still found it inconceivable and waited to see how Luo Shuiyao would respond.
Luo Shuiyao naturally noticed the two men's glances, but her face showed no sign of panic. After a moment's deliberation, she slowly spoke, "I've had some opportunities and saved some money, so I've been thinking about starting a business, so I can contribute to our dynasty and not be a useless person. So, after a long period of preparation in the capital, Qingyue Tower has just opened. I didn't expect to meet such a distinguished person on the first day."
As she spoke, Luo Shuiyao took a few steps forward and gently and naturally pulled out a chair for Emperor Yuan Cheng. With a perfectly composed smile on her face, she softly said, "Please take a seat, my lord, and try some of the special snacks in my building to see if they suit your taste."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuanzhen nodded slightly with a smile on his face. He sat down and said with anticipation in his eyes, "Oh? Then I must taste it carefully today."
Soon, servants and maids came forward with tea, both hot and fruit tea. Emperor Yuanzhen had tasted tea and fruit tea before, but when he took a sip of this fruit tea, he was extremely pleasantly surprised. Apart from anything else, the taste of this tea alone was very good.
"I didn't expect that you, a little girl, are so good at business at such a young age." Emperor Yuanzhen praised.
Luo Shuiyao listened and responded calmly, "It's just a small opportunity. I don't deserve such praise."
Emperor Yuanzhen smiled and said nothing more. Soon, more food was brought in. Since they wanted to taste the food, only a little of each was served, but the variety was quite rich. After tasting each of the food, Emperor Yuanzhen praised it highly and even invited Luo Shuiyao and the others to join him.
After the meal, both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves.
After Luo Shuiyao had all the tableware cleared away, Emperor Yuanzhen touched his slightly bulging stomach and said with emotion, "I've always adhered to the habit of only eating until I'm 70% full. It's rare for me to eat so much. Your snacks are really delicious."
After the meal, the two were no longer as restrained as before.
After hearing Emperor Yuanzhen's praise, Luo Shuiyao responded with a smile on her face: "If you like, you can come often in the future. We will definitely welcome you very much."
After hearing what Luo Shuiyao said, Emperor Yuanzhen couldn't help but burst into laughter and said repeatedly: "Good, good!"
Ye Yunzhou had said very little the entire time. He stood up, looked up at the sky, and then said to Emperor Yuan Zhen, "Master, it's really getting late. We should go back as soon as possible."
Emperor Yuanzhen looked out the window, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back then." He then turned to Luo Shuiyao and said, "Thank you for your hospitality today, young lady."
Luo Shuiyao bowed slightly, smiled, and said nothing as she escorted Emperor Yuanzhen out of the Qingyu Tower. Luo Shuiyao clapped her hands gently, and two servants followed behind her, each holding a small box.
Luo Shuiyao stepped aside and, seeing Emperor Yuancheng's puzzled look, she introduced: "Here are some small items. I think the master likes them very much. Why don't you take them back and let your descendants enjoy them? It can also be regarded as a small gift from my daughter."
Emperor Yuanzhen listened, nodded and said, "Young lady, please go back. We will leave now."
Luo Shuiyao bowed again.
Turning around, he saw Ye Yunzhou waving his hand. Two tall men immediately appeared from the crowd on both sides, took the box from the servant, and then left.
.........
On the way back to the palace, Emperor Yuanzhen gestured for Ye Yunzhou to sit in the carriage with him. He then stared at Ye Yunzhou intently, but Ye Yunzhou didn't even blink, looking completely oblivious. Emperor Yuancheng smiled and asked, "Who is this little girl?"
