She reflexively stood up, but her feet slipped and she fell straight into the pool.

Fortunately, the owner of the voice was quick and held her by the waist to prevent her from falling into a puddle.

Hua Mujin pushed the person who was supporting him away and cursed: "You're a ghost? There's not a single sound when you walk! "

The man innocently shrugged his shoulders. He smiled as he listened to her curses, but he was not the least bit angry.

"Actually, I have called you a few times. But you were too absorbed to hear it. "So I had no choice but to ?"

Giving the man a white eye, Hua Mujin still didn't give him a good face, "If you have something to say, say it, if you have to fart, I'll be annoyed!"

"Gulp ?"

Just as Hua Mujin finished speaking, her stomach growled once again.

Instantly, he had an awkward expression.

The man, on the other hand, had a gentle and refined expression, without a trace of ridicule. "I wonder if Eldest Miss can honor me and accompany me to the restaurant for a meal?"

Frowning, he looked at the man in alert, as if he had a conspiracy. Hua Mujin's face was filled with distrust.

"Bai Lingyu, you are a prince, don't tell me you want to cheat me into becoming rich? You know my temper, I can't sell it for any good price! "

Hearing this.

The man couldn't help but laugh a few times. He was startled for a long time, but his mind kept reeling back and forth from saying, "Deceiving and selling to get rich."

"Don't worry, everyone knows that you aren't worth much." I just heard that you were talking to yourself about what guqin you were looking for, and that I happen to be a person who loves the guqin. That's why I wanted to understand what you were talking about when I was feeding you. "

After saying that, Bai Lingyu paused for a moment, turned around, and said with his back facing Hua Mujin.

"Of course, if Eldest Miss isn't interested, I won't force you. Just consider it as This King putting on an act, there's no need to care about it. "

When Bai Lingyu mentioned the zither, Hua Mujin could no longer hold back her curiosity.

But she also knew that if she recklessly asked, she would definitely not get the answer she wanted.

"Since Your Highness has the heart, how can I refuse?"

"Gulp ?"

After saying this, Hua Mujin's stomach growled once again.

Looking at the man who was trying his best not to laugh, she felt embarrassed.

The biggest restaurant in the Imperial City, the Cloud Returning Pavilion.

Within the private room, the man looked at the woman, who was in a state of complete indignity, with his mouth agape. The chopsticks in his hand stopped in midair.

Hua Mujin glanced at Bai Lingyu with interest and said, "If you don't want to eat it, then put the chopsticks down, I can finish it by myself!"

As if afraid that the food would be snatched away, while she was chewing on the pig's leg, Hua Mujin glared fiercely at Bai Lingyu's hand that was holding the chopsticks.

Withdrawing his shocked expression, Bai Lingyu put down his chopsticks.

"I'm not hungry. Eat, it's not enough."

From Bai Lingyu's eyes, Hua Mujin could clearly see the disdain.

But for the current Hua Mujin, filling her stomach was the biggest thing.

"I'm just curious. Is Shang Shu Fu something that can't be eaten by you?"

Unable to hold it in, Bai Lingyu finally asked the question that was on his mind.

He swallowed the last mouthful of the pig's feet, threw away the bone and rolled his eyes at the man.

"What kind of treatment am I getting at the Shang Shu Fu? You, who often goes in and out of the Shang Shu Fu, don't tell me that you don't have any points in your heart, what's that count?"

He wiped the grease off his hands with a handkerchief and picked up his chopsticks to continue wolfing down the food.

Shrugging his shoulders, Bai Lingyu did not comment.

"Your pitiful act of eating, who would believe that you are the big miss of Shang Shu Fu if word of this gets out?"

Lifting his eyes, Hua Mujin rolled his eyes, and said disdainfully: "Who cares about the status of the young miss? I can accompany you out. You should know what I want to hear. Say it, do you know where the guqin I'm looking for is? "

Not wanting to talk with the man was useless, Hua Mujin immediately went into the main topic.

Seemingly knowing that Hua Mujin would ask, Bai Lingyu laughed, and did not immediately answer, but asked a question instead.

"May I ask why you're looking for that zither?"

Hearing that, Hua Mujin stared at the man vigilantly, it was rare for him to put down his chopsticks, and only after a long while did he speak out.

"All I can say is that this zither is very important to me, and it concerns my fate. If you are willing to tell me, I will listen attentively. If you just want to get something out of me, sorry, I won't tell you anything. "
