After the two little girls Liu Lianniang and Hua Qiyingzhi got the promise, they did not leave directly. Instead, they obediently bowed to Liu Mingzhi first.
"Dad, Aunt Hoshino, and Lian Niang will take a temporary leave of absence."
"Sir, mother, Ying Zhi will also temporarily retire."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the obedient and sensible appearance of the two little girls and waved his hands happily.
"Let's go play and be careful where you step when going down the stairs to the observation deck."
"knew."
"Sakura understands."
The two little girls each responded with a sweet voice, and ran hand in hand towards the viewing platform.
Seeing this, the two palace maids hurriedly bowed to Liu Mingzhifu, stood up, and quickly chased after the two little girls who heard the laughter.
"Princess, Miss Sakurai, you two slow down."
Amidst the worried sounds of the two palace maids, in the blink of an eye only Liu Mingzhi was left sitting opposite each other in the pavilion.
After the footsteps of Qing'er, Die'er and the two sisters gradually faded away, the atmosphere in the pavilion on the observation deck instantly became a little subtle.
The chopsticks in Sakai Hoshino's hand held the shrimps in the bowl tightly, but he still had no intention of putting them into Sakura's lips.
She had originally thought that at least two palace ladies would be left on the observation deck to keep her company, but she didn't expect that in an instant, she and Liu Jun would be left alone.
Neither of them spoke, and the pavilion was completely quiet. Except for the sound of wind blowing in the face and the chirping of birds around the observation deck, no other sounds could be heard.
Sakai Hoshino raised his eyes and took a quick peek at Liu Mingzhi, who was holding a drink and slowly swallowing it. The jade knuckles holding the chopsticks had turned a little white at some point.
It can be seen from this small detail that the beauty's heart at this moment is not as peaceful as her pretty face looks on the surface.
Sakai Hoshino pursed her pretty lips hard, and a complex melancholy flashed across her eyes as she glanced at Liu Mingzhi.
After hearing what her nephew Sakai Ga said not long ago, she suddenly found that she could no longer face Mr. Liu calmly and calmly.
She just felt that her heart was in chaos now.
A few days ago, after I had a skin-to-skin kiss with Liu Jun in the garden of Liu Mansion, I was also a little confused.
However, being so confused was far worse than now.
In the confusion at that time, I could clearly feel that there was some sweetness that I couldn't describe in the chaos.
But now I am confused, but only entangled and struggling.
It seems that I really don't want the personal affairs between me and Liu Jun to be mixed with something that is not so aboveboard.
For example, using one's own body in exchange for dragon weapons is something that seems to be a transaction.
Liu Mingzhi seemed to be nodding and lowering his eyebrows while tasting the wine in the glass, but in fact, the corner of his eye never left the beauty's body for a moment.
Looking at the beauty's light eyes that coexisted with hesitation and confusion, he could be sure that something must have happened to Sakai Hoshino that he didn't know about in the short half hour or so after leaving the palace.
Liu Mingzhi picked up the pot and filled a cup of peach blossom wine for himself, then leaned forward slightly to fill a cup of wine for the beauty.
When Sakai Hoshino saw Liu Mingzhi standing up to pour himself a drink, he hurriedly nodded.
"Why are you standing motionless? If you don't eat, the food will be cold."
"Thank you, Mr. Liu."
"If you choke, just drink some wine to smooth it over. Anyway, your alcohol capacity is so high, it won't be a big deal if you drink a few drinks."
"Well, Hoshino knows."
"Are you okay? I feel like you're in a bad mood."
"It's okay, it's okay, maybe Hoshino is too hungry."
Liu Mingzhi saw Sakai Hoshino's vague words and pretended to be calm, and he wanted to ask more questions. He pondered in silence for a while, and finally endured it.
Although he didn't spend much time with Sakai Hoshino, he understood her character very well.
He knew in his heart that if she was unwilling to confess to him, there would be no point in asking her.
She might tell him the reason under his own pressure, but in this case, the tacit close friendship between the two of them might become alienated.
"Since you are hungry, eat quickly. After you finish eating, I will take you to appreciate the beautiful scenery in the palace."
When Sakai Hoshino saw that Liu Mingzhi did not continue to question him, he looked at him with grateful eyes and nodded silently. He picked up a chopstick of sweet and sour pork and placed it in Liu Mingzhi's bowl and chopsticks.
"Liu Jun, you should also eat some food, don't just drink alcohol, it's not good for your health."
The beauty persuaded Liu Mingzhi in a gentle tone, just like a wife treats her husband.
"Okay, let's eat together."
However, after half a stick of incense, the two people who had not eaten all morning actually finished the four dishes and one soup on the table.
However, most of the food and wine went into Young Master Liu's stomach. With Sakai Hoshino's elegant manners and careful chewing, it was good enough that she could only eat a third of the food and wine.
Even so, the beauty couldn't help but belched softly, and then looked at Liu Mingzhi with a somewhat embarrassed face, and laughed softly a few times.
"belch."
"Hoshino is rude and made you laugh, Mr. Liu."
Liu Mingzhi put down his wine glass disapprovingly, picked up the jade fan on the table, stood up and stretched.
"We're out again, aren't we? It's normal for people to burp when they don't eat or drink enough. There's nothing wrong with being rude. Hoshino, in fact, you don't need to follow my dragon's etiquette in everything.
It should be noted that our Dalong culture has a long history. However, while there are essences, there are also dregs.
Take the essence and discard the dross, then you will be the best!"
When Sakai Hoshino heard Liu Mingzhi's self-evaluation of Dalong Culture, she frowned and thought for a moment, and looked at him with eyes that were already full of admiration, adding a little more admiration.
"Mr. Liu, you are worthy of becoming the Great Dragon Emperor. With your open-minded mind that dares to criticize yourself, I think Hoshino will not be able to emulate you even if he spends his whole life.
Hoshino has learned a lesson, please bow to Hoshino."
"Okay, there's no need to say these flattery words between the two of us.
Now that you've eaten and drank enough, let's go. I'll take you for a walk around the palace, and I'll fulfill Hoshino's long-cherished wish of more than ten years."
"What should I do with these dishes? How about Hoshino help Mr. Liu clean them up first, and then go to the palace to see the scenery."
"You don't need to worry about those dishes, someone will take care of them."
"Well, Hoshino listens to you."
Liu Mingzhi leaned over and picked up the delicate cloth bag sewn with silk on the stone table, and walked slowly and slowly towards the outside of the pavilion.
"Hoshino, this observation deck is the highest place in the palace. Standing here, you can easily take in all the scenery in the palace.
This is why I invited you here for dinner."
Sakai Hoshino stepped lightly and stopped beside Liu Mingzhi, turning his head curiously and looking down at the surroundings of the observation deck.
I saw thousands of palaces all around, rising and falling, some towering, some solemn, all majestic, simple, luxurious and beautiful.
There are countless pavilions and pavilions between the palaces. Some of those pavilions are simple and grand, and some are small and exquisite. At first glance, it gives people a feeling of being countless and dizzying.
There are many palace walls surrounding the pavilions and pavilions, extending in all directions but intricate. The palace corridors are like mountains, undulating and winding, seemingly chaotic but orderly.
The view from a high place is dazzling. If you are in it, you will lose your way in an instant.
The most beautiful scenery that catches the beauty's eyes is the Imperial Garden around the observation deck. There are all kinds of precious trees, flowers and plants in the garden, but because it is located at a high place, it is impossible to see it clearly.
Under the trees, there are several artificial lakes and rivers that come from nowhere and flow to where. The water surface is sparkling, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds in the sky.
The beautiful scenery is in front of you, but it makes people feel that it is too beautiful to absorb.
The beauty's lips were slightly parted, and she stared blankly down at the infinite scenery in front of her. She was a little obsessed for a moment.
Is this the Great Dragon Palace that I have been fascinated by for a long time and can never forget?
Liu Mingzhi looked at the beautiful woman next to him who was dumbfounded, her eyes were glazed over, and he shook his folding fan with a smile.
Liu Mingzhi didn't have any disdain for the beauty's dumbfounded reaction, because it was when he first saw the whole palace.
It probably looks like this.
"How about it? Is the scenery of my Dalong Palace still worthy of your discernment, Hoshino?"
