Junyi was a very considerate person in almost every aspect, yet this was a question that should not be asked.
Although the King did ask Chu Tian to help the Heir with this task, the incident took place at Li Village, whilst the Heir stayed at the Li County governmental offices instead.
Well, he could not do anything about this. However, Junyi should not ask Chu Tian to visit the Heir at the governmental office as well!
Chu Tian threw a deep look at Junyi before withdrawing his look. “There is a lot going on at Li Village and I have a lot of work to deal with, so I won’t be able to make it to Li County’s governmental offices. It is just a waste of time. I will settle down here at Li Village these days. If you need to travel back to Li County, please tell the Heir what has happened and pass on what he wants to me, so that we can follow his orders.”
Chu Tian sounded very polite.
Junyi thought for a while and nodded since he noticed that it was already very late. “Then I will travel back before it gets too late.”
Chu Tian nodded and let Junyi leave.
In the meanwhile, he turned to give instructions to his gang about what they should do the following morning.
***
Junyi headed towards the governmental office and when he arrived there, it was already very late.
Zhou Huailing and Gu Ruxue were having dinner with the officers of Li County. The dinner was really luxurious. At first, those officers had not been sure if the Heir would be displeased by the luxurious food, so when they greeted the Heir in the morning, they kept a low-profile. Yet when they spent some time with the Heir, the officers changed their style and presented a huge dinner instead.
And the Heir and the Princess Consort were in a good mood which assured the officers of Li County.
He more or less understood that his promotion in his career would not be affected.
***
When Junyi arrived and saw what was going on, he showed a look of helplessness.
The Heir had a mansion that was more luxurious than what was served here. He could just eat and go wherever they wanted in the capital if he wanted to! However, the Heir wasn’t at Li County to eat luxurious dinners.
The King arranged for him to do work, and it was just a matter of a few days, yet the Heir could not even pretend to be frugal.
Junyi felt so helpless.
Zhou Huailing did not notice any of this. When he noticed Junyi’s arrival, he summoned him. “There you are Junyi, come and have dinner with us.”
Junyi stiffened. “Heir, I have a few things to report to you.”
“Take your time, we can have dinner first,” Zhou Huailing said, then he told the maids to serve him.
Looking helpless, Junyi took a seat of his own accord. He was not used to being served.
He had to obey what the Heir asked of him. He was working for the Heir, after all.
During dinner Junyi felt as if he was chewing trash.
Finally, the dinner came to an end.
Junyi eventually got time to have a few words with the Heir.
However, Gu Ruxue said with a spoiled tone, “Lord, it is getting very late now.”
