Chapter 145 Not Helping

The next day, Xin Moyan did not forget her promise from the previous day. As soon as she arrived at the store, she immediately sent a junior employee to Yunxianglou to invite Yun Zhaoyao over for milk tea.

"Sister Yan, this is the first time I've ever tried this drink. It's really delicious, and there are so many flavors. May I try them all?"

Yun Zhaoyao sat at the cashier, a cup of milk tea in one hand, her eyes narrowed into crescents, her bright eyes making her look like an innocent little white rabbit. With her sunny and cheerful appearance, not only Xin Moyan, but all the employees in the milk tea shop had a special fondness for Yun Zhaoyao.

"Hehe~ Showy, even if it tastes good, you can't drink too much. There's tea in it, and drinking too much will keep you awake. Anyway, you're going to have many more days of fun, so enjoy it slowly!"

Xin Moyan wasn't idle either; she was busy helping with packing. After all, many of the orders were placed by servants sent by the families of high-ranking officials and nobles, with each person buying more than a dozen cups at a time, so they were really too busy to keep up.

"Miss, the Prime Minister sent someone to ask if it would be more economical to buy eighty cups of milk tea."

Xin Moyan's lips twitched slightly. This Prime Minister really couldn't be stingy for even a moment.

Why did Lou Xiang buy so much milk tea?

Cailian then beckoned to the man next to her and asked curiously, "Why did your family order so much milk tea?"

The servant respectfully explained, "Your Highness, my master has been busy preparing for the National Assembly next month with various departments. Since the weather is nice today, he specially ordered me to come here to buy a few cups of milk tea to entertain my colleagues in the court."

Hua Buyu curled her lip and said disdainfully, "It's rare for your master to be so generous, and you still have the nerve to say you're offering a discount. You're just pretending to be generous."

Hearing this, the servant awkwardly licked his lips. What the young lady said made sense; his master was indeed a bit stingy.

“Your Highness, my master also said that he has been busy with court affairs recently and has not had time to come and have a small gathering with you. The young master has also been asking to see you every day. Please come to the Prime Minister’s residence when you have time.”

“Yan Yan, we haven’t seen Xiao Lou for several days. Let’s take him out to play another day and let him try your lemon tea.”

"Yes, that's what I was thinking too. Xiao Bao even said he wanted to come to the store to play last time!"

Yun Zhaoyao leaned closer to the two of them, blinked her eyes, and asked curiously, "Sister Hua, who is Xiaobao?"

Hua Buyu pushed him aside and said indifferently, "He's just a kid you don't know."

"A child? Can I play with him?"

"What's it to you? Go drink your milk tea!"

He pouted, sat down on a high stool, and sulked to himself, resting his chin on his hand.

"Buyu, don't be so fierce to Zhaoyao!"

Xin Moyan was also helpless. She couldn't understand why Buyu was treating Zhaoyao this way, so she quickly went to the side and gently comforted him: "Zhaoyao, maybe Buyu is in a bad mood these days. Please understand her and don't be angry with her, okay?"

He shook his head, glanced at Hua Buyu, and said with a wronged expression, "Perhaps Sister Hua dislikes me and doesn't want to talk to me."

"No, no, no! You're Buyu's friend, how could she dislike you?"

Xin Moyan hurriedly explained, and then winked at Hua Buyu, who reluctantly walked over.

"Alright, you're such a grown man, and you're always getting teary-eyed, like a woman."

"Sister Hua~" Yun Zhaoyao called out weakly, her fair face looking somewhat pitiful.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a bit, Xin Moyan said to the servant, "Tell your Prime Minister that Buyu and I will go to play with Xiaobao when we have time. There are quite a few milk teas, so it will take a while to make them. How about we give you a 15% discount?"

The servant scratched his head, puzzled, and asked, "Your Highness, what does '15% off' mean?"

"I'm giving you a discount. Just pay the bill later, and I'll definitely give your family a special price."

"Oh!" He nodded as if he understood, but the fact that the princess had a young master by her side and they seemed to get along quite well was something he needed to report to his master. Now the whole of Yuanqi knew that his master was pursuing Princess Danhua!

After all, it was a big order, so Xin Moyan and Hua Buyu helped with the production. Yun Zhaoyao couldn't sit still and eagerly offered to help, but she ended up making things worse by either spilling the freshly made milk tea or soaking the sealing paper in water, which made Hua Buyu so angry that she cursed loudly.

"Yun Zhaoyao! You fucking sit down over there and don't you dare come to the front desk again."

"Sister Hua, I didn't mean to~" He held back his tears and quickly walked to the stool next to him and sat down obediently.

Xin Moyan tugged at her sleeve and whispered to comfort her, "Buyu, don't be like this. Zhaoyao is only trying to help."

Hua Buyu's chest heaved with anger, and she turned her head away, not wanting to look at him.

Before long, all the milk tea was ready, and Xin Moyan even asked a few staff members to help deliver it.

"Buyu, you should rest for a while too. I've had Yunxianglou send over some food. Since there aren't many people this afternoon, let's treat everyone to a meal."

"Tsk~ It's so nice to be your employee. I get milk tea every day and always have good food to eat."

Hua Buyu plopped down opposite the two, wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and deliberately avoided looking at Yun Zhaoyao's bright eyes.

"Zhaoyao, are you hungry too?"

He shook his head, then turned to Xin Moyan and said earnestly, "Sister Yan, I think this place is really fun. When I go back, I'll have someone open a shop like this too."

"Alright! You? Do you even have the skills? You want to open a milk tea shop? Aren't you afraid of being..." Her voice trailed off as Hua Buyu bit her lip, her expression stiff and unnatural.

Almost... almost...

Yun Zhaoyao opened her eyes wide, looking at Hua Buyu with an innocent yet curious expression. "What? Sister Hua?"

"Silent, what are you saying?"

She swallowed hard, glared at Yun Zhaoyao, and gradually calmed down.

"nothing."

Just then, a fresh pot of tea was brewed, and several employees were called away to deliver milk tea, leaving only Xiao Fu struggling to carry the tea bucket. Hua Buyu immediately got up to help, not wanting to bring up the topic again.

"Xiao Fu, let me help you."

"No need! Miss Hua, you go and rest. I can do this kind of rough work."

"It's okay! I'm strong, come on!" She rolled up her sleeves, half-squatted down, and hugged the bucket to lift it onto the table.

"Sister Hua, let me help you too." Yun Zhaoyao hurriedly ran over and reached out to help her hold the wooden tub.

"Get the hell out of my way!"

Hua Buyu was so busy yelling at him that she didn't notice that her elbow had hit the corner of the table. She subconsciously let go of one hand, and the steaming wooden bucket tilted slightly, pouring tea directly onto her. Yun Zhaoyao rushed forward to block it.

"what!"
