The private butler of Private Kitchen quickly received the news of Chi Si's arrival, and brought the waiters up in an orderly manner to make tea.
The entire courtyard occupies a large area. The four private rooms are antique buildings and are extremely private. The meals here are also said to be long-lost recipes.
Therefore, not to mention the entire imperial capital, even the entire Nanzhou, the food here is considered unique.
Chi Si and Mu Qian stood at the door of the box. She looked up and saw a group of people coming in through the door.
There were four boys and one girl in total. The girls looked young and had good-looking faces. They were the kind who were born very pretty.
The man she held her arm in looked handsome, walked straight and majestic, and the girl leaned on her like a bird.
Looking at it this way, the two seem to be a perfect match.
Mu Qian looked down and saw the swollen belly under her wide skirt, and a hint of meaning flashed in her eyes.
"This restaurant doesn't look like anything special. Why does the commander have to come so far to have dinner?" asked the man with a round head and a black leather jacket.
The young man following him was gentle and elegant. The gold-rimmed glasses on his nose made him look very elegant.
He smiled and corrected, "Yes sir."
The short-haired man stopped talking. He was used to it.
"Let's go in first. I heard that the cuisine here is not available after leaving the imperial capital. I want to try it." The girl said, her voice as sweet as a nightingale.
"Go in first." The man ordered.
The two men behind him didn't say anything. They walked to the box next to where Mu Qian was and stopped. The waiter opened the door.
The four of them entered the box in order, and the elegant young man who closed the door lastly turned his attention to the girl opposite.
She seemed to have just looked away from them, and she didn't know how long she had been looking at them.
"Know?" Chi Si looked at her and said.
Mu Qian shook her head and said naturally, "That girl is pretty."
The two of them entered the box one after another, and as they sat down, the waiter began to serve the food.
"Those people just now don't have Nanzhou accents. There are a lot of spiritual beings nearby, covertly and covertly. Helianshang from Beizhou brought his wife to Nanzhou for a visit. Yesterday they entered the imperial capital." Chi Si held the tea cup and said.
Mu Qian raised her eyebrows. She had not investigated anything about Beizhou in the past few months after she was reborn in Mu Qian.
But I also heard more or less that Beizhou was unified and Helian Shang fulfilled his long-cherished wish.
Now it seems that all of them are living a pretty good life. Beizhou has been unified and peaceful, and they no longer have to live a life of licking blood from the tip of a knife.
"If the Shu Ling Office and the Special Affairs Department can reach a consensus this time, it will be one of the signals that the northern and southern states can live in harmony, which is quite good." She said with a smile.
Chi Si understood her temperament and always avoided the important and took the easy, so he continued to act with her.
"Now that Xiao Yi in the Shu Ling Department has passed away, power has returned to Qin Hui's hands. Except for Chu Zhou, more than half of the people are now in Qin Hui's hands. If he really wants peace, that's all."
Mu Qian knew in her heart that Fu Yunliu had placed many people in the huge spiritual gathering place over the years, and had carefully planned this game. He also secretly refined ammunition and looked for magical weapons with powerful spiritual power.
This person probably wasn't using the banner of peaceful coexistence, and Mu Qian couldn't help but feel cold when she thought of this.
Fu Yunliu is the only one among the ten spiritual masters besides Su Wei who is still alive today. It is still unknown what happened between them back then.
Mu Qian could see the desire for power and ambition in Fu Yunliu's eyes, but the ambition in his eyes was somewhat different from others.
After taking control of the Shuling Department step by step for so many years, he may have accumulated a lot of things overtly and secretly.
Apart from anything else, the spirit master responsible for excavating the tombs of powerful spirits in the past two years in the Shuling Department is Fu Yunliu's student, and he has a lot of information in his hands.
"Eat first." Chi Si brought her two pieces of vegetables.
In addition to using long-lost recipes, the meals here also use ancient cooking methods, which can bring out the original flavor of the ingredients.
The food here was quite to Mu Qian's taste. After the meal, Chi Si didn't use his chopsticks very much and just focused on serving him.
"I'm full." Mu Qian put down her chopsticks and stopped Chi Si from picking up food for her.
Seeing her like this, the man also listened and said, "It looks like she has eaten a lot of vegetable juices, which will help digestion in a while."
After saying that, Heng Li knocked on the door and said, "Sir, there is a phone call that I need you to answer."
He was busy working, Mu Qian stood up and said, "I'm going for a walk."
The scenery behind the yard is nice. There are many plants that are not afraid of the cold and they are trimmed into various shapes. The snow in the yard is not deliberately swept away, but is simply swept away to create a way for people to enter and exit.
More and more snow is piling up on both sides, giving it quite the atmosphere of a small courtyard in the cold weather.
Mu Qian took two steps slowly, and when she raised her eyes, her attention was attracted by the red plum blossoms blooming in the backyard. In the white sky, dots of red plum blossoms bloomed on the ground like blood stains, which was quite beautiful.
She remembered that there seemed to be a person who liked winter plum blossoms the most.
"I didn't expect the scenery here to be pretty good." Mu Qian rubbed her hands and walked over.
She had just taken two steps when the girl in front of her slowly descending the steps caught her attention.
Mu Qian frowned, her belly was so big, why would she be wandering around here alone?
Seeing that the person in front of her was walking unsteadily, she quickly stepped forward and raised her hand to support the person. The girl holding her belly with one hand raised her head and smiled gratefully at her.
"Thank you."
Mu Qian helped her down the steps step by step to the plum tree, "I think your body is not that convenient. Don't go out alone in the snow and ice. You have to be with someone by your side."
The girl smiled and explained, "My husband is in there, but I thought it was stuffy inside and the baby kept moving in my belly, so I wanted to go out for a walk."
This explanation did not satisfy Mu Qian, she still frowned, "There should be someone accompanying me."
Seeing the worried look of the person in front of her, the girl smiled and said, "It's okay, he is busy, I can do it by myself."
Then she stretched out her hand and said very politely, "My name is Lingsu, what's your name?"
Mu Qian politely held her hand and said, "Nice to meet you."
Lingsu smiled and nodded, "The way you spoke just now was very much like a sister I know. The way you acted just now, I thought she was back."
Mu Qian subconsciously let go of the hand she was still holding, "Really? Then we are destined."
"The plum blossoms are blooming beautifully, right? The only color in winter always makes people very stunning." Lingsu said to himself.
Mu Qian couldn't help but look sideways. Although they had only been apart for a short time, she had the illusion that the girl next to her had grown up a lot.
Now that she is pregnant, her maternal brilliance cannot be deceived. What she now reveals is tenderness from the inside out.
"You'd better go back. Pregnant women can't catch cold. You have to be careful when you're alone." Mu Qian said and turned around.
The girl who stopped in place looked at her, and the inexplicable feeling of familiarity became clearer and clearer.
Although the person in front of her looked different, no matter from which angle she looked at it, she had the feeling that the person was Sister Qian.
Only then did Lingsu realize that she didn't seem to say her name.
Before she could speak, the person opposite turned around suddenly, raised his hand towards her, and was hit by a sharp spiritual energy.
"Ah." Lingsu was so frightened that he took a step back and almost fell to the ground.
When she came to her senses, she had already fallen into Mu Qian's arms. On the beam, the person who was hit by Mu Qian on the shoulder turned around and ran away.
Drops of blood fell on the snow like plum blossoms.
"Little madam..."
With a bang, the box door opened from both sides, and the two men who had just been following her arrived at her side as quickly as possible.
The tall man even almost fell down the steps because he was so anxious. As soon as he landed, he unceremoniously snatched her back from Mu Qian's hand.
The elegant and elegant man quickly stood in front of Lingsu and looked at Mu Qian warily.
"Who are you?"
"What do you want to do to our little lady."
Mu Qian couldn't help but raise her eyebrows after hearing this title. What a little lady, when did Helian Shang get so playful?
"Lu Ye, Cheng Ming, that's not the case." Lingsu hurriedly explained and pulled the man over, "Someone wanted to hurt me just now, but she saved me."
"Is this really the case?" Lu Ye expressed doubt.
Cheng Ming, who stood between the two of them, also had a skeptical attitude and looked Mu Qian up and down.
The temperament of these two people remains unchanged, one is very nervous, the other is delicate.
Forget it if it's just Lu Ye, Cheng Ming is there, he has the most delicate thoughts, and it won't be of any benefit to her if she continues to get entangled.
"As long as you're okay, I'll leave first." Mu Qian said and turned to leave.
Just as Mu Qian turned around, a chopstick wrapped in spiritual power shot out from the box behind the people. Mu Qian stopped in place and did not move.
Before Lingsu could scream, the chopsticks were suddenly hit by a burst of spiritual energy and flew back in one direction.
The box door opened, and the man sitting at the table caught the chopsticks with one hand and held the table with the other hand, but his hands couldn't help shaking.
"Pa..."
The chopsticks shattered at the sound and broke into three pieces.
Helian Shang glanced sideways at the man who appeared next to Mu Qian.
He could feel that this man's spiritual power was profound and unfathomable, comparable to that of ordinary spiritual beings.
"Next time, it won't be the chopsticks that break." Chi Si glanced at the person opposite.
With just one glance, Lingsu shook her shoulders subconsciously, and she could bear He Lianshang's indifference. She didn't expect that the coldness on the person in front of her was far heavier than that of He Lianshang.
Mu Qian looked back and looked at each other, "Give me a reason to attack me."
Helian Shang loosened his grip on the table and said, "The look in your eyes is wrong."
Mu Qian smiled, he had learned quite well.
"It was difficult for your wife to walk down the steps with her big belly. I stretched out my hand to help her. In your eyes, my look was wrong. So what kind of look should I have?"
Chi Si has a cold temperament, and there are some things that are useless just by talking.
The palm he raised was held by Mu Qian the next second, and the man looked at her dissatisfied.
Mu Qian advised, "Peace is the most precious thing, we won't do anything easily."
Are you kidding me, when Chi Si and He Lianshang fight, the outcome will hardly require any suspense, okay?
Although Helianshang was also trained on the battlefield, it was not that Mu Qian looked down upon him. Helianshang's individual strength was far inferior to Chi Si's.
It's better not to cause trouble. They came to Nanzhou for a visit, and they will go back when the visit is over.
"You deliberately approached our little lady, who knows what you were thinking. Are you afraid that your man and our husband will lose the fight?" Lu Ye stared at the person in front of him and said unceremoniously.
Mu Qian was also speechless towards this stupid brother, who had always been the most brainless example.
"I don't know what my man is like? Shut up." Mu Qian retorted.
This Luye really hasn't changed at all and is living in peace and harmony. Why does he insist on irritating Chi Si?
He is afraid that he will live too long, right?
Chi Si raised his hand to pull Mu Qian over, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, "Wait for me for a while, we will leave soon."
Mu Qian felt bad in her heart.
Qiu Yuerong, who had been keeping in the dark, jumped down and landed right in the middle of them.
Cheng Ming has met Qiu Yuerong, and Shafeng's main team will also be responsible for their safety in the imperial capital these two days.
"Mr. Helian misunderstood, this is all a misunderstanding." Qiu Yuerong said.
With Qiu Yuerong as a middleman to explain, everything can naturally be explained clearly.
Helian Shang sat where he was and said nothing. Lu Ye reluctantly apologized to the two people in front of him at the man's instruction.
"I'm sorry. I didn't make it clear. I was the cause of this incident." Lingsu was full of apologies.
Mu Qian glanced at a few people, without intending to go into details, and turned around and left with Chi Si.
There is no need to delve into some things. He can see clearly, so there is no need to ask.
Qiu Yuerong nodded to a few people, turned around and saw that the two of them had walked away. Only then did she remember what she had promised Yan Ji in the morning.
"Mu Qian!"
Following her shout, the cup in Helianshang's hand fell on the table, making a crisp sound when it collided with the bowls and chopsticks.
Lu Ye and Cheng Ming looked at each other, with a slight tremor in their eyes.
Seeing Qiu Yuerong running to Mu Qian, he took something out of his arms and handed it to her.
After the girl followed, she took the hand of the man next to her and walked further and further away.
"She just shouted, it was Mu Qian, right?" Lu Ye said uncertainly.
What he heard just now was Mu Qian, Qiu Yuerong calling that girl Mu Qian.
Cheng Ming took a long breath, as if trying to convince himself.
"It should just be the same name."
If you look closely, you can see that they look very similar, but their looks are very different.
Lingsu, who was stroking his belly, turned around and saw that the face of the man in the box was hidden in the darkness.
But she saw the fallen cup on the table, Lingsu turned around and endured the sadness in her heart.
Although these few months have passed, she still lives in the hearts of all of them, and no matter how long it takes, she will not disappear.
