The reason why Bi Yun was able to gain a foothold in the capital was not only because of the location, but also because of the desserts that were comparable to the imperial chefs. In order to develop delicious desserts, the owner of Bi Yun had spent a lot of effort to cultivate this chef. Now that Jiujiu wanted to poach this chef with just a few words, the owner's heart was almost dripping blood.
However, who was Jiujiu? She was the Pingan Junzhu that the emperor had bestowed. Her personality was also famous for being bad. If there was a slight problem, she would throw people into prison. Although she had restrained herself recently, who knew if that was just her disguise? Even if he was unwilling, compared to the disaster of being imprisoned, this was nothing more than spending money to avoid disaster.
The owner of Bi Yun resisted the pain in his heart and replied in a small voice, "To be able to make desserts for Junzhu is his honor. Naturally, he is willing."
"Is that so?" Jiujiu's eyebrows slightly raised and the corner of her mouth hooked into a faint smile, revealing her cute little dimples. Her voice was clear, but her words were like a little demon's, "I hate forcing people to do things the most. Are you sure he is truly willing and not reluctantly willing?"
If you don't like to force people to do things the other way, then there is no one in this world who would force people to do things the other way.
The owner of Bi Yun resisted the old blood in his throat and endured all his unwillingness. He gritted his teeth and said, "Naturally, he is truly willing."
Jiujiu's lips hooked up, "That's good. Since it's like this, then let him tidy up and come back to the palace with me in a bit."
"This little one will go and tell him." The owner of Bi Yun lowered his head and resisted the pain in his heart as he hurriedly walked towards the kitchen.
When Jiujiu turned around, she saw Nan Ke standing behind her.
Today, Nan Ke had washed away the dust on his body. His crow black hair was only secured with a jade hairpin. When he saw Jiujiu look over, he immediately hooked up the corner of his mouth and revealed a gentle smile. His eyes were gentle like the spring breeze as he looked at Jiujiu. He cupped his hands and said, "Miss."
Jiujiu raised her eyebrows, her eyes moving up and down to size up Nan Ke: "What's the matter?"
Jiujiu's tone carried a bit of unfamiliarity, as if she didn't recognize Nan Ke at all. The smile on Nan Ke's face instantly froze on his face. He said dryly, "This one has come to thank Miss for giving me the purple jade flute yesterday."
"Gift?" Jiujiu revealed an expression of sudden realization as if she had suddenly thought of Nan Ke. Her eyes swept up and down before stopping at the purple jade flute hanging from Nan Ke's waist. Her fingers gently stroked her chin as the corners of her mouth hooked up to reveal a sly smile, "I didn't say that I would give you the purple jade flute."
"But ~"
"What do you mean by 'but'? If I say no, then no. Why? Do you think I'm wrong?" Jiujiu directly took out the title of princess and looked at Nan Ke with a stern expression. The words in Nan Ke's throat were instantly stuck in his mouth.
A higher level of power could crush a person to death, let alone the fact that Jiujiu was a Princess and he was just a commoner with nothing.
Nan Ke's lips wriggled for a moment before he finally replied in a small voice: "This lowly one doesn't dare."
Although Nan Ke's mouth said he didn't dare, his eyes were filled with unwillingness. He was a dignified man, yet he had been forced by a woman to such an extent that he had to compromise. Even if it was for the sake of his great cause, how could Nan Ke's heart be reconciled?
If he hadn't repeatedly hypnotized himself that this was all for the sake of his great cause, he wouldn't have been able to endure it for even a minute.
Seeing the humiliation in Nan Ke's eyes, Jiujiu's lips curved slightly. He couldn't endure it even now. How weak. After all, the days of grievance were still to come.
Jiujiu raised her eyes and casually swept a glance over Nan Ke. Although it was very light, Nan Ke could still see the hint of contempt.
"I like that red flower today. Could it be that I'll continue to like that red flower tomorrow? I spent three thousand taels to buy that purple jade flute. If you can't take out the three thousand taels, then return the purple jade flute to me. One hand for the money, the other for the goods. The money and goods are settled. "
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she went to retrieve the purple jade flute. She had a posture of wanting to leave the purple jade flute behind if he didn't give the money.
Yesterday, Jiujiu's obedience and shyness almost gave Nan Ke the idea of keeping Jiujiu by his side even after the Sui Dynasty was destroyed. However, today, Jiujiu was unruly and capricious and turned hostile. She was simply the worst woman Nan Ke had ever seen in his life. If it wasn't for the sake of obtaining information, Nan Ke would have thrown the purple jade flute at Jiujiu's face and told her to scram.
However, for the sake of the greater cause, he had to compromise and leave the purple jade flute behind.
Nan Ke hurriedly reached out to protect the purple jade flute and repeatedly said: "I'll give you the money. Princess, please don't be angry."
"Hmph." Jiujiu snorted through her nose. She raised her head and looked at Nan Ke with the corners of her eyes. Then, she pointed at Lu Li and said: "Go get the money from him."
Lu Li stared blankly and raised her head to look at Jiujiu. Jiujiu only urged: "Hurry up and go get the money from him."
After being repeatedly urged by Jiujiu, Lu Li hurriedly followed behind Nan Ke upstairs.
Which young girl didn't yearn for love? Which young girl wasn't passionate? Lu Li was older than Jiujiu by three years. In an ordinary family, she would have already been married and even had children. However, because she had served Jiujiu since she was young, she couldn't even think about it.
In the past, she didn't have these kinds of thoughts because she was used to seeing those heavenly royalty by Jiujiu's side. She had seen so many outstanding men, so how could she fall for those ordinary people? But now, looking at the tall and handsome Nan Ke walking in front of her, even though he had been berated by Jiujiu like a grandson, Lu Li's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
Nan Ke slowly walked in front of her. When he was berated by Jiujiu, he really didn't react at first. Yesterday, Jiujiu's attitude towards him was really too good, so much so that he had forgotten about her vile reputation. Now that he was being treated like this by Jiujiu in front of so many people, Nan Ke's thoughts of seducing Jiujiu instantly faded a little. He tilted his head and swept a glance at Lu Li behind him. Nan Ke's thoughts once again became active.
Although Lu Li was only Jiujiu's servant girl, according to the informant's information, Lu Li and Yang Xuan had grown up together. The two of them had an extremely good relationship. No matter if it was entering the palace or attending various banquets, Yang Xuan would always bring Lu Li with her. Therefore, although Lu Li was only a servant girl, her status was even higher than that of an ordinary young miss from an official's family.
Moreover, because Lu Li was Yang Xuan's servant girl, she naturally knew more things.
Nan Ke was a genuine ancient person. His bones were carved with male chauvinism. In his opinion, women should be gentle and submissive. Jiujiu, this kind of fierce and ruthless person, was simply a shrew. After being berated by Jiujiu, his thoughts of being together with Jiujiu had faded a lot. Now that he saw the gentle and obedient Lu Li, Nan Ke's thoughts instantly became active.
If he could take Lu Li for his own use, not only would the effects be similar to Yang Xuan's, but he would also be able to obtain a delicate and soft girl. Why not?
With thoughts of taking Lu Li, Nan Ke was naturally particularly gentlemanly in front of Lu Li.
