Chapter 797: No more reception
Lu Xi held her cheek with her hand and looked at the young man in front of her with a smile on his face, his whole body glowing.
He looked so excited at this moment, just like a child going to the amusement park the next day. Even his hair was filled with joy.
But... Lu Xi picked up the water cup and took a sip. Her half-closed eyelids blurred the dark light that flashed across her eyes.
I hope this expectation is purely the young man’s own wish, and not guided by anyone.
That Majesty is not an easy person to deal with. He looks gentle on the surface, but he can sit in the throne. Every move of a politician is a carefully planned chess move, not to mention the arrangement for his own nephew?
"Okay." Lu Xi stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers in front of Xiao Jingan's eyes, interrupting his wild imagination. "You will be able to see all this with your own eyes then."
As he spoke, his expression suddenly became serious and he tapped the table lightly with his fingertips. "But there is a condition..." He lowered his voice unconsciously.
"You are the only one allowed here. No more than one person will be admitted."
The pair of eyes that always smiled now revealed a firmness that brooked no room for negotiation, and even the air around them froze a little.
How could Xiao Jingan not understand the meaning of this? He nodded and agreed, "Okay."
There was a solemnity in the boy's clear voice, and his hands hanging by his sides slowly clenched into fists.
He had no other thoughts at all, and as for other people's thoughts - even his powerful uncle, the emperor, could not cross the line.
"OK, just agree to it~" The smile on Lu Xi's face disappeared again, and the cold aura just now disappeared in an instant, as if it was just an illusion.
She shook the cup casually and said calmly, "Next time, just show up and I'll take care of the rest. I'll give you one-stop service."
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all trivial matters. As long as you have enough money, these are not a problem.
Even if the young master suddenly wanted to wear a brocade robe to go clubbing, she could arrange it without batting an eyelid.
Modern society is full of bizarre things. What kind of strange costumes have not appeared?
People are very accepting of this Crown Prince. Given his modest appearance, passers-by would at most think he was a cosplayer from an anime convention or a lover of ancient Chinese culture.
If she’s lucky, she might even see a hot topic on Weibo about a handsome young man suddenly appearing on the street - Lu Xi is already imagining a group of people obsessed with his looks asking for a photo with him.
Xiao Jingan blinked, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I see, 'one-stop service', I know."
He imitated Lu Xi's usual way of speaking, twirling his fingers beside his temples, "Promise to only take me with you, and everything else will be arranged by Sister Lu."
The young man suddenly moved closer, his eyes full of curiosity: "But Sister Lu was laughing so happily just now, did you think of something fun?"
Lu Xi leaned back to distance herself from him: "I was thinking that if you were to go shopping in this outfit, you would definitely get 200% of the attention."
She casually threw the pillow on Xiao Jingan's body, "Also, from now on, just call me Sister Lu."
Seeing Xiao Jingan's confused expression, she put her hands beside her mouth to hide the twitching of her mouth.
God knows when she first heard the words "Sister Lu", she got goose bumps on her back.
Previously, we did not correct it out of consideration for the habits of the ancients, but now, we must change it.
Think about it - nowadays, those who call someone "sister" with their last name are either green tea or white lotus, that's how it's played in TV dramas.
"It's settled." Lu Xi made the decision without allowing any room for rejection.
"Oh." Xiao Jingan didn't get any explanation, so he had to nod in agreement.
The two chatted for a while and then went to visit the group of busy workers.
After several rounds of transactions, Lu Xi gradually pieced together what they would do after further studies from Xiao Jingan's enthusiastic description.
The most eye-catching thing in the imperial capital is the road reconstruction project. Not only the imperial palace, but also several main streets have gradually been paved with concrete.
The Ministry of Works ingeniously erected a monument to merit, which attracted wealthy businessmen to donate money in order to engrave their own business names on it and gain a reputation for being philanthropic.
The carriages of dignitaries also underwent significant changes. Rubber imported from the south was used to make wheels, making the ride smooth and comfortable, and no longer causing people to feel their internal organs shift.
