Taihe Restaurant.
Zhou Yuexue waited for almost half an hour. When she started to get anxious, she heard voices coming from the door. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and hurriedly stood up and stood by the window.
There was a knock on the door: "Ms. Zhou, can I come in?"
Zhou Yuexue lowered her voice and said, "Come in."
As the door opened, Zhou Yuexue turned around with a sad expression. When she saw the person coming, she was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise:
"Your Highness?"
Chu Chengyao smiled and stepped forward: "I brought someone to deliver the screen, but I didn't want the man to tell me that you were here just after I got here."
Zhou Yuexue turned around and saluted: "When I came here, I remembered the last time I talked and laughed with His Highness here, so I came up and sat down."
Chu Chengyao gave him a hand: "Why do you have to salute every time you see me? Didn't I tell you not to be born with me?"
"His Royal Highness is a prince, so he is extremely noble. The etiquette cannot be discarded."
Chu Chengyao smiled helplessly and said, "There's really nothing we can do about you. Just sit down for a while and I'll ask them to move the screen in and put it away first."
After the two servants brought the screen in and put it away, they bowed and went out. Zhong Yi at the door closed the door with great discernment.
Zhou Yuexue stepped forward and took a closer look at the screen placed in front of the bed. Both the carvings on the wood and the embroidery inside were of the highest quality.
"It's so elegant and extraordinary. It makes people like it just by looking at it. It's no wonder His Highness came to deliver it in person."
Chu Chengyao stood next to Zhou Yuexue, looked at the screen and smiled:
"Although it took me some time to select this thing, if it were just this thing, I wouldn't have to go there personally. I bought it for you, so I did this. If you like it, it's not in vain for me to look for it. ."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Zhou Yuexue:
"Ever since I heard you talk about your life last time, I wanted to give you a shelter from wind and rain. I wanted to buy a house for you, but I was afraid of affecting your reputation. Fortunately, I have this restaurant, and I am the owner. The guys are all my people and they won’t talk nonsense. If you are wronged, you can come here at any time.”
With a shy face, Zhou Yuexue raised her eyes to look at Chu Chengyao, then hurriedly lowered her head:
"I'm just the daughter of a fifth-grade official, so I'm not worthy of His Highness's troubles."
Chu Chengyao said anxiously: "What are you talking about? Do you think I have any purpose in being good to you? I do this because I have you in my heart. I haven't seen you for only two days, and I already feel deeply that I haven't seen you for one day." It’s been three years since then, but you still think of me like this..."
Zhou Yuexue raised her head with red eyes and said with pity:
"Your Highness, you come from a noble family, so you should find a daughter from a high family who is equally wealthy. My daughter is from a humble background, how can I be treated like this by Your Highness?"
Chu Chengyao: "How can the word love be controlled by family background? I already have someone in my heart, so others can no longer see me."
Zhou Yuexue lowered her eyes and said, "Your Highness should learn from His Highness the Crown Prince and find a woman like Sister Jinyan who has an outstanding family background and appearance."
Chu Chengyao held Zhou Yuexue's shoulders and expressed his feelings anxiously:
"No matter how good she is, she is not even half as good as you here. The prince wants her just to win over the Gu family. The Gu family has military power. With the Gu family, not to mention the prince, any prince can get the throne. I just heard that, Miss Lin just went to the Prince's Mansion, it seems that she will definitely be the mother of the country in the future, what does it have to do with me."
Zhou Yuexue's eyes turned sharply, she suppressed her thoughts and then raised her eyes to look at Chu Chengyao:
"Your Highness, since you can get a big position by winning the Gu family, why don't you give it a try?"
