After Fu Guan finished speaking, the eldest princess immediately looked at him with complex and meaningful eyes: "..."

The old man sighed helplessly, and said: "It was you who were dissatisfied with the marriage at the beginning, and now you are the one who wants to accept others... Forget it, forget it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I don't care about your husband and wife. Just make up your own mind."

Fu Guan could hear the overtones in the princess's words, she obviously misunderstood his relationship with Lou Xiyue.But he was very difficult to explain, so he could only skip this topic with a slight smile.

It might be shameful to think this way, but when Fu Guan realized that the eldest princess had misunderstood, he was not willing to reveal the truth hidden under the cover-up.

If Lou Xiyue knew about this idea, she would lose her temper again, Fu Guan thought.

He imagined the appearance of the other party jumping, and couldn't help laughing.

The eldest princess: "...?"

She sighed helplessly and shook her head, thinking that the thoughts of young people today are really unpredictable.The eldest princess took a sip of tea and immediately talked about another thing:
"I have called you here today because there is another important thing -" she said: "In a while, it will be your grandfather's birthday. Counting the days, your father's death anniversary will be around the same time. In two days, it will be the death anniversary of your father. In the future, I will help someone pack up the belongings and go to Jingyun Temple."

Two generations of sages of the Fu family all sacrificed for Daxuan, and their tablets are enshrined in Jingyun Temple in the suburbs of Beijing.Every year their anniversary of death and birthday are handled by the Eldest Princess herself, and this year is no exception.

Therefore, as usual, the eldest princess needs to go to Jingyun Temple to prepare in advance.

Fu Guan nodded, expressing his understanding: "Grandma has worked hard. When the time comes, my grandson will go with my granddaughter-in-law."

He knew that the eldest princess would never miss the anniversary or death anniversary of her grandfather Fu Xing and her father Fu Lan. This time of year was a special time for her to commemorate them.

Compared to a large group of people bustling about in Jingyun Temple with great fanfare, the eldest princess preferred to hold a quieter ceremony.

Even if it was Fu Guan himself, the eldest princess had refused his help.Therefore, Fu Guan followed the previous rules and did not follow the eldest princess out of the city.

At this time, the grandparents and grandchildren discussed the ceremony for a while, and then chatted about some household matters, and the eldest princess released Fu Guan back.

When Fu Guan left, it was not too early.

He went back to the study to deal with some business, and then came to Lou Xiyue's yard at dusk.

When Fu Guan arrived, Lou Xiyue was having dinner with the maid in the room.

*
Lou Xiyue has been away from Beijing for a long time, Cai Mulberry and Yunzhi are both missed very much.The two of them dragged Qingshuang to Lou Xiyue and asked her to tell about the experience of Jiangnan and his party.

Although most of the time Lou Xiyue doesn't show her emotions very much, sometimes she is cold, but after spending a long time with Caisang and Yunzhi, she has already regarded them as companions.

After these days of being separated from them, she naturally missed them a little.

It's just that compared with Caisang and Yunzhi's extroverted emotions, she seems very reserved and introverted.Therefore, when surrounded by Yunzhi and Caisang, Lou Xiyue only responded with a "huh" lightly, but her eyes were smiling.

She said, "Sit down and talk."

Lou Xiyue has never had any rules when getting along with others, even while eating and talking with Qingshuang and others, a meal is spent slowly.

She told them about the scenery of Jiangnan, and later about the floods and epidemics in Nanhuai Prefecture, and then mentioned the casino in Xunjiang Town.Qingshuang and the others listened carefully and with rapt attention, their eyes shining brightly, so no one noticed anyone walking in.

Instead, Lou Xiyue heard footsteps not far away, then stopped, turned her head and looked towards the source of the sound.Looking at it, he just saw Fu Guan coming in the afterglow of dusk.

He first glanced at the leftovers on the table, then raised his eyebrows and said: "You don't have a lot of leisure here, but you finished your meal so early. Why didn't you wait for me?"

This light sentence stunned the four people on the spot.

Qing Shuang and the other three stood up from Lou Xiyue's side awkwardly, and said: "Has the prince not eaten yet? It's because the slaves are not thinking carefully, and haven't given it to the prince yet..."

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Cai Sang and Yun Zhi looked at Fu Guan's expression, feeling secretly apprehensive, so they unanimously decided to sneak up first: "Your Majesty, please calm down, this servant will go prepare now!"

Fu Guan had no expression on his face. He just said "hmm" and then moved his eyes to Qing Shuang.

Qingshuang: "...servant, please go and heat up the food."

After saying this, Qingshuang also left.

Then Fu Guan sat down directly opposite Lou Xiyue, his movements were smooth, without the self-knowledge of any outsider at all.

Originally, for the convenience of talking with Qingshuang and the others, Lou Xiyue sent away a room of servants on purpose, now even their maids were gone, the room was empty only Lou Xiyue and Fu Guan and two people.

At this time, Lou Xiyue gave Fu Guan a cold look: "People are scared away by you, King Xuan Ping, you really have a great style."

Fu Guan did not admit to this charge.Holding a pair of clean chopsticks, he put a piece of still warm fish into his mouth and said:
"Oh? I didn't do anything. I just took a look at them. They were timid and slipped away by themselves. How can I count as 'threat'?"

As he spoke, he did not forget to comment: "The taste of this steamed fish is acceptable, but I don't see you moving your chopsticks. Is it not to your liking?"

Lou Xiyue was silent for a while, and then took the bait: "I like the umami of fish soup, but I don't like fish meat. If you think the taste is good, I will give you the dish."

While talking, she stirred the milky white soup in the bowl with the spoon in her hand, and said, "Why did you come to my place suddenly today? You didn't say hello in advance, and I didn't prepare your meal here."

She raised her eyes and glanced at Fu Guan. The implication was: If there is anything important, please tell me as soon as possible. After that, go back to your own room.

Fu Guan heard that she was chasing people away overtly and secretly, so he smiled casually and said, "I know you're not prepared. It's no wonder, I have never eaten at your place before, and this time it came so suddenly, you The people in the yard naturally don’t know about it.”

Although he did not blame him, he immediately said: "But from now on, you have to prepare my share of the small kitchen in your courtyard——"

Lou Xiyue opened her eyes slightly: "Why, you still come every day?" She looked at Fu Guan with disbelief written in her eyes: "It's not necessary? Isn't it good to eat in your own courtyard? In the past, we Isn't that the case, don't interfere with each other?"

Fu Guan: "...You don't welcome me so much? I thought that based on our friendship, we wouldn't be so alienated." He said: "It is more lonely to be alone. Being with you makes it easier to talk and relieve boredom."

He saw a hint of resistance in Lou Xiyue's eyes, and felt as if he had been stabbed for some reason.

Although he expected to be rejected by Lou Xiyue, he still felt a little unhappy.

So, before Lou Xiyue could refuse, Fu Guan said, "However, you don't need to worry about the food. I will arrange it properly and add a few more cooks."
