Xuanyuan Feng, after finishing a snow pear, still wanted to drink a cup of tea, "Young Master, could you also give a cup of chrysanthemum tea?"
"I want chrysanthemum tea too!" Xuanyuan Yunlong followed suit.
Ye Haohuan, facing the siblings who had just failed to snatch his tea and had grabbed so fruit to eat, now wanted tea as well; he was quite dissatisfied and gave them a cold look.
The siblings seed not to notice Ye Haohuan’s cold look and gazed eagerly at Ye Shiqi.
Ye Shiqi... treating like your maid?
She was a bit discontented. Whether you’ve lost or won, it’s none of my business, so why eat and drink my things!
To refuse would surely earn her the label of being petty, so she could only signal to soone at her side with her eyes.
The head servant, as one of the attendants, had his subordinates diligently help pour the water.
Xuanyuan Feng and Xuanyuan Yunlong drank down a cup of chrysanthemum tea each, feeling the heat of sumr dissipate. The exhaustion and warmth they had felt monts ago suddenly cooled, along with a sensation of nourishnt spreading through their bodies.
"Another cup!"
Xuanyuan Feng said unabashedly.
"I’ll have another too!"
Xuanyuan Yunlong echoed.
Ye Haohuan... of course, tea was also up for grabs, so he placed his own teacup on the table, "Pour the tea!"
Ye Shiqi... hmph, eating and drinking mine and still not stopping!
The attendant poured them another cup of tea each.
As they drank their tea, they snatched up the pastries to eat.
"Let’s go...!" Ye Shiqi did not want to watch them fight over food; it was just too much for her!
The head servant and the attendants imdiately followed their young master, helping with the horses, then mounted up after the young master, ready to leave.
Ye Haohuan, having eaten his fill, silently signaled his attendants with his eyes, then also mounted his horse to leave.
"Wait for ...!" Xuanyuan Yunlong packed the remaining pastries into his carryall, planning to enjoy them later at his leisure.
Xuanyuan Feng also packed the leftover fruit into her carryall, thinking that such delicious fruit should be taken back for her mother to try.
Xuanyuan Sheng gave a look to one of the Military Generals at his side, instructing him to follow them, not only for protection but also to fulfill the landlord’s role of hospitality and cover the expenses when the guests visited inns or dined out.
Although the General was a bit rough around the edges, he was quite attentive and understood Xuanyuan Sheng’s intentions. He saluted the General, quickly found his horse, and followed along with soldiers in tow.
Ye Shiqi, although she had mounted her horse first, did not make her horse run too fast.
Ye Haohuan caught up first and asked where she was heading.
"Going to eat, of course. Don’t tell you’re not hungry after all those pastries?"
Ye Shiqi rolled her eyes at them, an expression dripping with disdain.
Sohow, Ye Haohuan found that he was quite smitten with the way this little girl rolled her eyes at him, not sure if he had a masochistic streak, feeling happy even when being scorned!
The more he interacted with this little girl, although she had fooled him many tis, he felt sowhat helpless, unable to hold a grudge, as if he were willing to be conned by her.
There was also an illusion that this little girl was very mature, that despite being nearly a decade younger, it was like interacting with soone his own age.
Beyond her youthful face and the innocence in her eyes, there was a glint of wisdom and a touch of charm.
"To the Island Hotel Inn, right? I have one; shall I treat you to seafood?"
Ye Shiqi nodded, "All right."
These past eight or ten days, she had almost always eaten seafood, but she hadn’t grown tired of it.
"Where are you headed for a al? How about our siblings take you to a famous restaurant for dinner?"
Xuanyuan Yunlong and his brown-nosing horse had already galloped to their side.
"Exactly, you must honor us with your presence. We had such a great ti with you today, let us show you so hospitality as landlords!"
Xuanyuan Feng also arrived beside them and invited them with those words.
"Stop fighting over it! Young Master Ye said he would like to invite us for a al!"
Ye Shiqi said with a laugh.
"That’s right, I’ll be the host!" in Young Master Ye Haohuan’s mind, there was no need for the siblings to treat them to a al, nor did he reject their company.
"Young Master, don’t squabble with my father. He has already said he wants to invite you to a al!"
Xuanyuan Feng didn’t have much of an aversion to Young Master Ye Haohuan’s cold deanor. From the initial unwillingness to admit defeat, it seed they were already familiar with each other now and wanted to beco friends.
"It doesn’t matter to , I don’t mind whoever treats !" Ye Shiqi put on a face that seed hard to speak.
"Haha, we’re familiar with this place, just follow us!" Xuanyuan Yunlong was still a youngster at heart, and he was quite enthusiastic when it ca to eating.
This large group of people arrived at a bustling street and began to slow down their horses. The street wasn’t very wide, so to avoid bumping into people, they didn’t ride side by side, and such a big group couldn’t squeeze through the street.
Perhaps because the group was so eye-catching, the pedestrians on the street steered clear of them.
When they arrived at a seafood restaurant, they all stopped and dismounted.
A waiter ca out to greet them at the restaurant.
"Young Master, Lady, please co inside." This waiter recognized the brother and sister, among the group, there were soldiers and military generals in uniform.
It was easy to recognize this pair of siblings; perhaps they had co here to dine before or did so often.
Maybe they were celebrities around here, and even a restaurant waiter recognized them.
Ye Shiqi followed them into the restaurant. With so many people entering together, they didn’t head for the main hall to eat.
This group went into a large private room. The soldiers and generals waited outside the private room, and only after their masters were seated did they have the chance to eat in the main hall.
Young Master Ye Haohuan surveyed the place; this restaurant was the largest one on this street, although not every restaurant here necessarily specialized in seafood.
Not every guest likes seafood, so seafood restaurants also offer other at dishes.
Having had too much seafood lately, he wasn’t very fond of it. Upon being seated and ordering individually, he would actually opt for sothing different.
Being accustod to the als made by the Imperial Chef and being regular custors at various big restaurants in the Capital City, and even at his own ho, they had famous chefs.
In such an affluent life, Young Master Ye Haohuan had beco quite picky about his food.
When dining out, it wasn’t about being choosy, but rather about ordering so local specialties or signature dishes.
Ye Shiqi wasn’t really picky either, she just didn’t eat fatty at; any greasy at was out of the question.
She ordered lobster, crab, so unusual fish from the sea, and then so vegetables.
Xuanyuan Yunlong, however, wanted to order beef and mutton; he didn’t bother with any vegetables.
Xuanyuan Feng’s order was indeed made up of chicken, duck, goose, clay pot dishes, and barbecue.
At their table, a Military General sat with the four n and won, without any separation between the sexes.
The attendants, having ordered their food, all went outside to dine, choosing their dishes rather casually.
Conversation began at the table, with siblings Xuanyuan Feng and Xuanyuan Yunlong very curious about the customs and culture of the Capital City.
They asked, and Ye Shiqi could only have Young Master Ye Haohuan answer them.
Yet Young Master Ye Haohuan was cool and nonchalant, dismissing the siblings with just a few words and failing to satisfy their curiosity.
