Divorce at the beginning, the rough general is very clingy

Chapter 151: Dining at Zhenweilou

"Yes, yes, yes. Oh, this man is useless when he gets old. How could he forget such an important thing?" Prince Gong put down his chopsticks.

The servant hurriedly brought a handkerchief and some mouthwash. After Prince Gong finished cleaning up, he wiped his hands, sat down, and sipped his tea.

"I have an old friend who has been an official all his life, but he hasn't saved much money and is suffering from various diseases. I went to see him a few days ago and it was obvious that he didn't have much time left to live, so I thought of you." Prince Gong's eyes became red when he mentioned this old friend. One can imagine the affection he had for the other person.

If Your Highness has time tomorrow, I can go and take a look. Since I haven't seen the patient, I dare not jump to any conclusion.

"If I have time, I will pick you up at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning." Prince Gong made the decision immediately.

"Okay, I live in Jingfeng Yaju, No. 106 West Street." Mi Yao reported her home address.

"Xiao Qi, when Xiao Liu comes back, go tell Mr. Ao that I will bring Doctor Mi to see him tomorrow." Prince Gong instructed.

"I understand, Your Majesty!" Xiao Qi nodded in response.

At this time, there were messy footsteps outside the private room, and it sounded like seven or eight people were going upstairs to eat.

"Zhan Xun, your article was praised by the teacher today. We are all proud of it." Zheng Junhe's voice was excited.

"Yes, Zhan Xun, you are the most talented writer among us. This time, our Group B finally beat Group A. I'm very happy today, so I'll treat you. You can order whatever you want to eat." Jin Hao also excitedly expressed his happiness.

Several people entered a private room, which was next to Mi Yao's room.

"Let's keep a low profile. We've slapped Group A in the face today. I'm afraid they will retaliate privately." Qu Zien said worriedly.

"What are you afraid of? We all live in vegetarian families, okay?" Jin Hao said indifferently.

"Do you know that the people in Group A have princes behind them?" Qu Zien said.

"What's wrong with the prince? Don't princes have to be reasonable?" Zheng Junhe was unhappy. "Waiter, bring more good wine and food. We are happy today."

The waiter went down quickly to get busy.

"What Zien said makes sense. It's better for everyone to keep a low profile in the Imperial College. It's said that it's easy to hide from a spear but hard to guard against an arrow. There's less than half a year left before the Spring Examination. Everyone should not lose sight of the big picture." Zhan Xun's voice was pleasant, slightly magnetic, and sounded very steady.

"Your Highness, you are the emperor's uncle, why is your surname Zhan?" Mi Yao was a little confused.

“Alas, we all took our mother’s surname, just like Prince Yong’s surname is Yun. If we continue to have the surname Xuanyuan, how can Prince Gong’s Mansion and Prince Yong’s Mansion prosper forever and live in peace?” Prince Gong sighed. For the sake of peace and for the sake of descendants, the surnames left by their ancestors were lost.

After listening to this, Mi Yao felt a slight dull pain in her heart. This was the helplessness and frustration of being born into a royal family.

"It seems that the Third Young Master Zhan is a man of both civil and military talents, and is the best among the noble children in the capital." Mi Yao said with a smile.

"Now that I am in this position, I don't ask for fame, wealth or honor. All that matters is that the three brothers are healthy." Prince Gong shook his head, and the happy atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant.

"Your Highness, it is said that people go to high places and water flows to low places. The same is true for us. We must look forward. After I finish my work here, I plan to return to Wan'an Town. If Your Highness is tired of the hustle and bustle of the capital, you can stay with me for a while, work from sunrise to sunset, live by the beautiful mountains and rivers, forget all the troubles, indulge in the mountains and rivers, and live the rest of your life without regrets." This is also Mi Yao's dream.

"Okay, haha, just for what Dr. Mi said, I have to live well." Prince Gong laughed heartily.

"Dangdang" someone knocks on the door.

Miyou went to open the door.

"Brother-in-law!" Mi You shouted.

Mi Yao stood up and asked, "Why are you here?" and then pulled Ye Xiao over.

"I saw you coming just now. You came here after finishing the things at hand." Ye Xiao said and clasped his fists towards Prince Gong: "Ye Xiao greets His Majesty!"

Prince Gong was somewhat excited when he saw the man who looked very much like his deceased wife.

"General Ye, there is no need to be so polite. Please take a seat." Prince Gong stood up and offered his seat, which made Ye Xiao feel flattered.

"Your Majesty, please sit down!"

There were still several dishes on the table that had not been eaten much, but Mi Yao still asked Mi You to notify the waiter to bring two more hot dishes.

Prince Gong looked at Ye Xiao and liked him more and more. He wondered why there was still no news from Xiaoyao Pavilion.

"What did you talk about with the prince?" Ye Xiao looked at his wife, his eyes full of love.

"We talked about things in Wan'an Town, and that I will be seeing an old friend of the prince tomorrow. I also said that when we return to Liujia Village in the future, we will let the prince stay there for a while." Mi Yao told Ye Xiao everything about the conversation.

Prince Gong did not say anything. He just watched Ye Xiao and Mi Yao interacting quietly. His thoughts drifted away, thinking about how he and the princess were like this back then. They ate together, worked together, and only had each other in their eyes.

What a pity! My wife has been gone for 20 years...

"Are you tired, Your Majesty? I will take you back to the palace." Ye Xiao ate very quickly and finished two large bowls of rice in no time.

"Okay, Xiaoqi, you go to Ao Mansion to inform them and ask General Ye to take me there." Prince Gong stood up.

Xiao Qi stood behind Prince Gong, feeling a strong sense of crisis. What had happened to the old prince that he let an outsider see him off? What should he do? His position was in jeopardy.

"Yes." Xiao Qi didn't dare to say more and went out to report the news.

Ye Xiao helped Prince Gong downstairs, and Mi Yao went to pay the bill, but Prince Gong did not rush to pay it. "It's a shame that Doctor Mi spent so much money."

"Your Highness, you are welcome. I have shares in Zhenweilou, so it won't cost much money." Mi Yao smiled.

"Your shares? What do you mean?" Prince Gong asked hurriedly.

"I provided some of the recipes for Zhenweilou, so I get 20% of the dividends from Zhenweilou's new dishes." Mi Yao explained.

"Yes, I didn't realize that Dr. Mi is such a talented woman." Prince Gong praised.

Ye Xiao found a carriage and helped Prince Gong onto it. The Mi Yao sisters bowed and said goodbye.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Mi Yao saw the little sister staring at her with a smile on her face.

"My elder sister is so amazing, she even knows Prince Gong!" Mi You exclaimed.

"envious?"

"Yeah, I'm envious." Mi You did not hide his admiration.

"If you are fragrant, butterflies will come to you. If you are outstanding, people will naturally admire you and interact with you. That's why it is said that people should keep learning throughout their lives. There is no end to life and no end to knowledge." Mi Yao answered with a smile.

"Sister, I feel like no matter how hard I try, it's just this much." Mi You said aggrievedly.

"Don't define yourself too early. You are only fourteen years old. Life is long, so learn slowly." Mi Yao held her sister's hand and walked on the busy street.

As soon as he got home, Hong Fei reported in a low voice that two young men and a young lady had just come and looked for the master. I said you were not at home, so they left and asked me to give this to the master.
