Xie Wanyu looked at him in surprise, because she didn't expect Tai Shuqi to say such words.
After a long while, she said, "The fate is not over yet."
She couldn't tell Tai Shuqi why, so she could only say something ambiguous.
Although Tai Shuqi didn't understand, he didn't persuade him any further.
When Xie Wanyu first met Taishu Ai, she thought he talked little and was indifferent, so she didn't expect him to mind his own business.
Tai Shuqi also seemed to feel that he had gone too far and said nothing more.
Both of them seemed to be suppressing their true thoughts.
When the carriage stopped, Tai Shuqi expertly helped her walk down, while the noble concubine was already waiting at the door.
She was dressed simply and elegantly, but her face looked happy.
"Greetings to the noble concubine." Xie Wanyu bent her knees slightly, but was pulled up by her.
"They are all family members, no need to be polite." After saying that, she pulled Xie Wanyu into the house, "I also read the scriptures you gave me. It's really wonderful."
Xie Wanyu smiled and chatted with her.
Although the concubine has a noble status, she has no airs at all and she also likes Xie Wanyu from the bottom of her heart.
So Xie Wanyu is really kind to the noble concubine.
Basically, the two of them were chatting. Tai Shuqi just sat beside them with a smile and rarely interrupted.
After chatting about Buddhist scriptures for a while, the concubine looked at Taishu Qi with an angry look.
"You two have known each other for a long time. It was fate when you were teenagers." The imperial concubine said, "When will you get married?" She changed the topic so quickly that neither Xie Wanyu nor Tai Shuqi could react.
Both of them were stunned for a moment before stammering, "No, there's no rush."
"Why don't you hurry? Girls don't want to be famous anymore?" said the noble concubine.
Tai Shuqi was usually very calm and indifferent, but this was the first time Xie Wanyu saw him showing a very embarrassed expression, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
He didn't expect that such a small gesture would be caught by him.
In a flash, there was a smile in his eyes, "Mom, you'd better ask her, I can do it at any time."
Xie Wanyu's smile faltered.
The imperial concubine smiled slightly and said, "Wanyu, if you are still dissatisfied, just say it. If it comes to the betrothal gift, we can't make any difference. If my son is not good, just say it and I will take care of him."
She didn't expect that Tai Shuyi would blame the matter on her, so she could only sit there in embarrassment, unable to say anything.
She can't say that she hasn't reconciled yet, she is still a married woman.
In the end, it was Tai Shuqi who came to her rescue, "Forget it, mother, we have our own sense of proportion."
After chatting for a while, the noble concubine was willing to let them leave.
Because the imperial concubine was a vegetarian, they were not allowed to have lunch.
"I know a good restaurant, right by the mountain. I'll take you back after eating later." Tai Shuqi said.
Xie Wanyu did not refuse, because she was really hungry now, so she agreed.
The carriage made many twists and turns before it came to a stop. It was a very rugged mountain road.
After getting off the car, Xie Wanyu saw a small restaurant.
As soon as he entered the door, there was a family of three busy.
A middle-aged man was kneading dough, a woman was making buns, but a teenage girl greeted her at the door.
"Big brother is here again." She smiled, showing her two dimples, very sweet, "Sister is so beautiful, are you my big brother's wife?"
She blinked her big watery eyes.
Xie Wanyu was a little embarrassed and twitched her lips.
Unexpectedly, Tai Shuqi said, "What do you think?"
"It must be true. My eldest brother is good-looking, and my sister is also good-looking." The little girl is very good at talking.
Tai Shuqi took Xie Wanyu to find a quieter place to sit down, and then said to the little girl, "It's still the same as before."
"Okay." The little girl responded quickly and ran to her parents to say a few words.
Xie Wanyu looked at it and said, "I didn't expect that the prince would eat in a place like this."
"There are some delicious things that are not from big restaurants." As he was talking, the little girl had already brought the food. The staple food was steamed buns, the dishes were two vegetarian and one meat, and there was a thick white soup. .
Facing these two vegetarian dishes, Xie Wanyu smiled and said, "These two are wild vegetables. I often ate them when I was in Panyun Mountain."
Tai Shuyi nodded, and then served her a bowl of soup.
Originally, Xie Wanyu would feel a little reserved when she was alone with Tai Shuqi, but she relaxed a lot after eating in such a small restaurant with a strong sense of life.
"I've always felt that you, as noble as you are, don't know how to take care of others." Xie Wanyu took the soup from him and said.
Tai Shuqi hesitated slightly, and then said, "This is the first time."
"What?" Xie Wanyu didn't hear clearly, and he didn't repeat it again.
This is also the first time for Xie Wanyu to eat in this kind of place. Although the place is not big, the food tastes delicious and the little girl cleans it very clean. She will wipe every table carefully four or five times to make sure it is spotless. .
While I was eating, there was a sudden burst of thunder outside, and then, heavy raindrops fell.
The little girl said to her parents, "See if the rain won't stop, how about we stay here today."
The middle-aged man responded and continued kneading the dough.
Xie Wanyu looked outside. The sky was dark and dark, as if it was about to sink.
The room was already dark, and it became even darker like this. Fortunately, the little girl was very discerning and lit candles for them.
"Don't worry, this kind of rain won't be heavy easily." Tai Shuqi said calmly.
Seeing that he had said this, Xie Wanyu didn't worry and continued to eat slowly.
But until the two of them finished eating, the rain still showed no intention of stopping. The coachman at the door had already put on his raincoat and was waiting at the door.
Tai Shuqi looked at it and said, "Girl, bring me a pot of wine."
"Okay." The little girl responded, brought a pot of wine, and brought a plate of side dishes, "This dish was made by my mother. It goes very well with wine. I give it to you."
Tai Shuyi smiled and nodded.
He turned to look at Xie Wanyu and said, "You should drink some too. The rain will keep you warm." He poured a glass for Xie Wanyu.
Xie Wanyu didn't want to drink at first, but it was really awkward for the two of them to sit face to face like this. "Okay." She picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for treating me to such a delicious meal."
Hearing this, Tai Shuqi had a strange look on his face. He couldn't tell whether it was embarrassment or embarrassment.
After Xie Wanyu drank all the wine, Tai Shuqi said, "You didn't bring any money?"
"Didn't the prince invite me to dinner?" Xie Wanyu's eyes widened. Could it be that Tai Shuyi is so stingy?
"Um..." Tai Shuqi touched his straight nose awkwardly, "My money is all on Yan Qingzhao."
Xie Wanyu showed an extremely embarrassed expression. All her money was placed on Zhu Fang. This kind of occasion was not suitable for bringing Zhu Fang, so she did not bring any money.
Unexpectedly, Taishu Ai promised to bring her to dinner, but in the end he didn’t even bring any money!
