Chapter 291 The Queen is so beautiful 20
"Brother Ming, I'm sorry. It's a habit. I don't consciously follow the rules when I'm outside." Hua Fangfei smiled slightly, with a hint of apology in her beautiful eyes.
Shangguan Ming nodded slightly, "I was overthinking it, Sister Fangfei."
After he finished speaking, he returned to his previous stern and serious look.
Hua Fangfei found it amusing to see Shangguan Ming being so reserved.
She rolled her eyes and pretended to move to the side casually. The carriage happened to pass through a bumpy section, and the body of the carriage shook violently. Hua Fangfei fell towards Shangguan Ming.
Shangguan Ming subconsciously reached out to support her, and the atmosphere became tense as their eyes met. Shangguan Ming's face instantly turned red, like a boiled shrimp.
"I'm...I'm sorry." He stammered.
Hua Fangfei smiled gently and said, "It's okay, thanks to Brother Ming." She winked playfully.
This made Shangguan Ming even more at a loss, and his heartbeat accelerated rapidly.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the carriage. It seemed that someone was performing acrobatics and attracted many passers-by to watch.
Hua Fangfei curiously lifted a corner of the curtain to peek outside, and Shangguan Ming took the opportunity to adjust his mood. He secretly glanced at Hua Fangfei's focused profile, his eyes full of tenderness and admiration.
Hua Fangfei felt his gaze, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She thought that this journey would not be boring.
……
Time passed quietly, and the beautifully decorated carriage slowly approached the world-famous Zuixianlou without anyone noticing.
This restaurant stands beside a busy and bustling street, with people coming and going, it is very lively.
Before the carriage had completely stopped, the waiter who had been waiting outside the restaurant for a long time came up with a smile on his face and greeted the three distinguished guests in the carriage warmly: "Dear guests, please come in!" As he spoke, he skillfully pulled the reins and stopped the carriage steadily at the door.
Shangguan Ming quickly tidied up his clothes, then got out of the car quickly and walked quickly to the door.
He bowed slightly, extended his hand, and said to Hua Fangfei, "Sister Fangfei, please get out of the car."
Hua Fangfei saw Shangguan Ming's thoughtful gesture through the car window and couldn't help but smile slightly, as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring. She replied softly, "Thank you, Brother Ming."
After saying that, she carefully stretched out her jade hand and placed it on Shangguan Ming's hand, then jumped lightly off the carriage.
When Concubine Hu saw this scene, she left quietly.
Hua Fangfei and Shangguan Ming smiled at each other and walked into the restaurant one after another.
Concubine Hu arranged a table full of delicious food. She sat in the main seat. The table was very large, and Hua Fangfei sat casually on the right side of Concubine Hu.
Shangguan Ming was slightly startled and stopped involuntarily.
He first turned to look at his mother, a look of inquiry and hesitation; then he cast his gaze at the graceful Hua Fangfei not far away, his eyes revealing a complex emotion. Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and Shangguan Ming stood there, not moving a step to sit down.
Concubine Hu, who was sitting next to her, naturally understood what her son was thinking. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a gentle and understanding smile.
Then he said softly, "My son, you and Fangfei haven't seen each other for a long time. Now that you are finally together, you should sit down and talk and reminisce about the past."
Hearing his mother's words, Shangguan Ming's heart moved, and a subtle touch of emotion flashed across his face. He nodded respectfully and replied, "Yes, mother, you are absolutely right."
After saying that, he walked towards his seat and gave Hua Fangfei a polite smile when he passed by her.
At the same time, Hua Fangfei, who had been standing quietly, saw Shangguan Ming coming and hurriedly nodded slightly to him.
At the moment their eyes met, a shy blush as bright as the sunset quickly passed across Hua Fangfei's fair cheek, like a blooming peach blossom, so beautiful and tempting.
The dishes were served one after another. The three of them ate with graceful movements, taking small bites. After a while, Concubine Hu put down her bowl and chopsticks.
"Ming'er, mother is done eating. It's been a rare opportunity for me to leave the palace, and mother wants to buy some things. You and Fangfei can enjoy your meal slowly."
Shangguan Ming stood up and said, "Okay, mother, take care."
This time, Shangguan Ming didn't say much. Even if he thought about it more, he understood that Concubine Hu was creating an opportunity for him.
