Xie Xingyun was in a good mood. “You don’t understand.”

After so many days, he had sent so many things to her residence. This was the only thing she had eaten.

She’d eaten what he’d given her, and still wanted more of it.

Xie Xingyun felt a subtle sense of satisfaction. In an instant, his heart was filled with her aggrieved look of not having eaten her fill.

She was petulant and adorable.

Even though she did not know who had sent them, it did not matter.

Gu Yu still wanted to drink more tea, listen to stories, and catch up with Xie Xingyun, but the man opposite him stood up instantly.

“Where are you going?”

There was a faint smile in Xie Xingyun’s cold eyes. Even Gu Yu had never seen such a side of him. This feeling of spring breeze blowing on one’s face would make any woman instantly fall for him, right?

He said seriously, “Going out to calm down.”

Just the thought of her looks made his heart feel like it was filled with boiling water. He could not calm down for a long time.

Gu Yu spat a mouthful of tea on the spot.

“No, why do you need to calm down?”

Xie Xingyun’s smile was casual. “You won’t understand.”

GuYu,”…”

It was that sentence again.

Although he thought so, he was really also interested in Bai Xianyu.

When he saw her that day, he only felt that she was a delicate beauty. He did not expect such a girl to make the usually calm and composed Xie Xingyun so excited just by eating a few pieces of his pastries.

“Alright, then I’ll be alone for the time being.” Gu Yu sighed.

From their position, if they wanted to leave, they had to pass by where Bai Xianyu had sat previously.

No one had come here yet, nor had they cleaned up. They could vaguely see the plates and pastries behind the curtain.

Xie Xingyun’s gaze paused for a moment before he walked in.

There were a few plates of snacks on the sandalwood table, and one of them had been sent over by him.

It remained untouched.

Xie Xingyun’s heart sank uncontrollably.

The waiter rushed over to clean up, and once again saw the tall and handsome man, who was exuding a low pressure.

“Young Marquis…”

“What did you tell her?”

“I said that the pastry chef had something on. Then the girl said that it was fine. She got it.”

Xie Xingyun’s fingers moved slightly, and the light in his eyes seemed to darken.

The air fell silent.

The waiter was anxious and uneasy. He quickly knelt down and said, “Young Marquis, I didn’t do it on purpose. Please be magnanimous and don’t hold it against me! I didn’t drive her away in anger. It’s all my fault…”

Xie Xingyun felt that the voices of the people around him were piercing his ears. The joy that had reverberated in his heart just now instantly disappeared, replaced by a cold and dead silence.

He felt that his heart had been thrown away by her just like this plate of pastries.

The waiter did not look up. He was trembling with fear. His lips trembled. “Young Marquis, 1…”

However, a very soft sound of someone sitting down could be heard beside him.

The waiter carefully raised his head and saw the Young Marquis in brocade clothes sitting on the seat of that girl in white earlier. He picked up a piece of pastry and ate it.

When the young man did not speak, the waiter felt even more uneasy. He could not help but want to please him. “Young Marquis, they’re already cold. Shall I heat them up for you?”

Xie Xingyun smiled slowly. “Can it still be made warm?”

Her heart.

Could he still make it warm?

The waiter replied, “Yes, yes.”

He hurriedly got up. “I’ll bring them to the kitchen to heat them up for you.”

Xie Xingyun stopped him and lowered his long eyelashes. “No need.”

They were what she did not want. He was as abandoned as this plate of pastries.

Something she did not want.

Such an abandoned thing would eventually be left in a cold place to slowly cool down.

Xie Xingyun felt that he might be crazy to sympathize with a plate of pastries.

After about an hour of waiting, Gu Yu finally saw Xie Xingyun come back. When he came back, he was holding a plate with several pieces of exquisite snacks on it. They were very delicately made and decorated with flowers. The fresh aroma was fragrant. It was obvious that they were something a young lady would like.

Gu Yu’s smile was a little annoying. “Are you done calming down? Don’t be so happy that you can’t speak. Since she likes them, give her more.”

Xie Xingyun did not answer for a long time. There was a deep sense of powerlessness in his eyes, as if he was at a loss and a little aggrieved.

His voice was a little hoarse. “Gu Yu.”

Gu Yu’s smile froze. He closed his fan and frowned. “What’s wrong?”

“This is the first time I’ve been despised like this.”

It was as if nothing could be done to salvage the situation.

It was as if he had fallen into a dead knot.

Gu Yu watched helplessly as the corners of Xie Xingyun’s eyes turned bloodshot and his eyes flashed with a dark light.

The envoys from Daqing would arrive at the Great Kui in a few days.

Emperor Wu Xuan summoned the prince and princess to Chengqian Palace.

Behind the imperial desk, Emperor Wu Xuan was wearing a golden dragon robe. His brush strokes were strong, and the words on the paper penetrated the back of the paper, hiding an imperceptible ruthlessness.

In front, Second Prince Li Dan, Third Prince Li Jing, Fourth Prince Li Yi, Fifth Prince Li Yi, Sixth Prince Li Ye, Seventh Prince Li Chun, Fifth Princess Li Changming, and Seventh Princess Li Changning knelt according to their seniority.

As the eldest son had died young, the Second Prince, Li Dan, was the oldest. From the seventh prince onwards, they were all still young, so they did not attend.

The Eldest Princess, Lee Chang An, had already been sent away in a marriage alliance a few years ago. The Second and Third Princesses had died young, the Fourth Princess already had a husband, the Sixth Princess had already been engaged, and there were only two princesses left to marry.

Li Changming and Li Changning.

“I called you here today for the matter of the envoy from Daqing. The war between our dynasty and Daqing has stopped in recent years. This time, they sent Mo Linyuan here firstly to express goodwill, and secondly to probe…” Emperor Wu Xuan stopped there and said in a mighty voice, “As the children of the imperial family and close to Mo Linyuan’s age, you should do your best as hosts for my Great Kui and show the style of our dynasty. We must not fall into ridicule.”

Everyone said in unison, “Yes..”
