Chapter 1368: Chapter 1375: Jealousy (8)

She and Nangong Yi had different ideas, but the result of their final discussion was to take the opportunity to bring Shuya and Zhao Gui in front of Situ Changge, let Situ Changge make his own choice, as only the one he picks himself would truly match his heart. Otherwise, even if it was them who picked for him, if he didn’t like it, it’d be a waste!

Zhao Gui and Shuya, led by the shop assistant, happily went up to the private room on the third floor. Along the way, Shuya kept turning her head, now admiring the luxurious crystal chandelier on the ceiling, now looking at the strange paintings in the glass frames, or else observing the exquisitely carved handrails of the staircase. Everything she saw filled her with wonder and delight, just like Granny Liu entering Da Guan Garden.

In comparison to her curiosity and exploration, Zhao Gui was obviously more disciplined. She held her spine erect, gently lifted her skirt when going upstairs, and tilted her head slightly upward. One didn’t need to see her lavish clothes and the jewels in her hair; just her poised and elegant demeanor alone was enough to draw gazes.

Inside the private room

Due to Mo Zili making a scene, Xiang Yun had lost her appetite, sitting there huffily, sulking. Situ Changge was on one side chatting with Cai Wei about recent business dealings, while also keeping an uneasy eye on her.

He saw her turning her head, her Little Bun face puffing up, her rosy little mouth pouting, almost enough to hang an oil bottle from it, her big black eyes also bulging round, as if she could stare a hole through the cup on the corner of the table. That appearance was really... incredibly cute!

Cai Wei was eating and chatting with Situ Changge and saw him glance at Xiang Yun from time to time. She also turned her head and saw that Xiang Yun was still angry. She couldn’t help but laugh and picked up a bullfrog leg from the hotpot, saying, "Do you know how this bullfrog died?"

Xiang Yun said, "Naturally, it was killed by the chef!"

Situ Changge laughed but didn’t answer, knowing that the Empress Dowager surely had something to say, otherwise she wouldn’t have asked such a simple question.

"Let me tell you, it died from an explosion!"

She said this while dipping the frog leg into the sauce, eating, and speaking: "This bullfrog lived in a pond, and it was very big, so it always thought of itself as the biggest animal in the world.

One day, a cow came to drink water by the pond, and another bullfrog saw it and hurried back to tell it.

"Hey, I just saw an incredibly huge animal, much bigger than you!"

The big bullfrog, not convinced, puffed up its stomach, making itself a bit bigger, and said, "Is it this big?"

The other bullfrog shook its head: "Much bigger than that!"

The big bullfrog puffed up even more after hearing this and said, "Is it this big?"

"Hey! It’s even bigger than that!" the other bullfrog replied.

At this, the big bullfrog got angry; it puffed itself up as much as it could, swelling up like Miss Xiang Yun, wanting to compete with that huge monster. But because it puffed itself up too much, it went ’pop’ and exploded..."

"Pop—hahaha—"

Unable to hold back her laughter, Xiang Yun burst out laughing, forgetting the anger that Mo Zili had just caused her, and even Situ Changge laughed, his eyes sparkling, an image of splendor!

"Why are you laughing? If you’re so happy, share it so we can all have a few laughs too!"

Shuya and Zhao Gui, led by the shop assistant, walked into Cai Wei’s private room. Just upon entrance, they heard everyone’s laughter and couldn’t help but join in the fun.

Upon seeing Cai Wei, Zhao Gui hastened to salute her, but Cai Wei said, "There’s no need for formalities here like Inside the Palace, and no one’s watching, so don’t be so formal."

Shuya took off the red feather velvet white fox skin crane cloak she was wearing on the outside and casually handed it to Qiuxiang, saying, "Just now, when I was Outside, I wanted to salute her, but she wouldn’t let me. Now, all of a sudden, she’s the most ruled person here."
