The Legend of the Guardians of the East Gate
Ch. 155 - Birthday celebration

Meksi was a Queen Mother, yet had never seen Zhou Lu Zi's face, only senior minister-level officials knew her, in the palace the officials knew only the clothes and crowns on the heads of those great men, even if they passed by those officials bowed deeply, and, it was forbidden to openly stare at the rulers of the imperial palace.

"Hemmm.... What is this? how can we meet in this place?" said Zhou Lu Zi pretended, yet there was a hint of awkwardness on his face as he looked at Zhi Yuan.

"Mother-in-law why are you here too? did you accidentally spy on us?" yun Mei asked with eyes full of probing, and was a little annoyed at seeing Zhi Yuan who had a very different expression when she saw her adoptive mother even if it was only a few seconds.

"haha.. foolish child, once in a while we also want to have fun, mother also has a lover just like you, so it's only natural that there are coincidences like this," said Zhou Lu Zi pulling Wang Lee's arm, trying to shake off his nervousness.

"Your Majesty, if we disturb your comfort we will look elsewhere" Zhi Yuan said and prepared to leave, but his arms were restrained by Zhou Lu Zi.

"We should have eaten together in this place already, and today don't call me that" Zhou Lu Zi said with a face of annoyance and intimidation.

They sat in pairs facing each other around a fairly large round table, they looked friendly with their respective partners, even Wang Lee looked so indulgent Zhou Lu Zi made Yun Mei show a look of disdain, and was so happy that Zhi Yuan was so focused on just him, and did not care about Zhou Lu Zi anymore.

Yun Mei stood up as dozens of people entered the courtyard of the inn, and could be seen from upstairs,

"Zhi Yuan, adoptive mother, they are friends and also some Elders in the academy, I have to meet my friends, they pick me up here, we will do chores together, we will do chores together, and tomorrow we will go to the Xialing kingdom to learn its culture, wait lah I will introduce you to them," Yun Mei said and slightly ran down.

Zhi Yuan smiled looking at Yun Mei's carefree manner, Zhou Lu Zi sat down near Zhi Yuan and looked at the young man.

"Do you love my adopted daughter?" zhou Lu Zi asked as he returned Zhi Yuan's pair ring found in the young man's robe, Zhi Yuan stared at his pair ring.

"You don't have to answer, you've treated Yun Mei well, just like you were well educated," zhou Lu Zi said slowly but at a glance there was a hint of jealousy in her beautiful eyes.

"Thank you madam, it's not forcing me to answer," said Zhi Yuan lowered his head, his eyes looked wistful, his face changed drastically considering that Goddess Zhang Ziyi had educated him.

"The sad face was like his ring the couple had a tragic ending, but still too tempting for the young girl, they would be curious and want to know her more deeply," Inner Zhou Lu Zi, said, staring at Zhi Yuan's natural red lips and remembering their wet kiss for quite a long time, made her smile while staring in the other direction.

Across the table despite pretending not to look, Wang Lee felt such a deep pain, a sense that should not exist for a comforting man for his master, he said, because they had to share with other men, but for Wang Lee who was used to being at the top would not accept if he had to be at the bottom.

The two of them slightly moved away when Yun Mei and her dozens of friends came, Yun Introduced Zhi Yuan as her lover, and everyone cheered, making Zhou Lu Zi's face turn away pretending to stare in the other direction was so awkward.

"Madamu you praised me too much" Zhou Lu Zi said, like a grown woman who did not take a compliment seriously.

"hahaha..I don't praise you mistress, I happen to learn about fairies, they have symmetrical faces and also perfect bone structure for women, I just draw a conclusion, I just draw a conclusion, I'm sure, because your face looks so different" said the elder.

"Your elders are embarrassing me, my ancestral grandmother is indeed from the nation of fairies, please join us" said Zhou Lu Zi, and some people confirmed the elder's words and everyone laughed, making Zhou Lu Zi laugh but his eyes looked at Zhi Yuan, both smiling, staring at each other, making Wang Lee even more jealous to see two people who look to have a sense that begins to rub against.

"No madam, we came just to pick up your adopted daughter, there are many tasks that we have to do given the urgent time" the elder said

Wang Lee who held a grudge stood up,

"Alright, listen to me all, this is Miss Yun's birthday, so I'm a little pushy that you guys are willing to celebrate, and don't worry, no matter what, Young master Zhi as his lover will pay for all the food you eat, please order whatever you want" said Wang Lee.

The elder looked at Zhou Lu Zi, as if asking for the offer, making Zhou Lu Zi unable to refuse for the sake of his Princess.

"Aahhh, of course it's his birthday," said Zhou Lu Zi who began to feel his thin robe, and the woman was not carrying any money at all.

Everyone rumbled and ordered food and looked for their seats.

Yun Mei looked at Wang Lee with wide-eyed eyes,

"What are you doing? Zhi Yuan used to be just a waitress how could he have that kind of money to pay for all of our food, say you intentionally did this right?" yun Mei said and handed over her money bag to Zhi Yuan but was stopped by Zhou Lu Zi.

"My daughter is calm, let the foster mother take care of this matter, you join your friends, they are waiting for you" Zhou Lu Zi said.

They were enjoying the luxurious food in the inn, Zhou Lu Zi approached Zhi Yuan and whispered,

"Zhi Yuan, it's a shame if it wasn't you, even if I die I won't talk about this, do you have a gold coin?" zhou Lu Zi asked with a flushed face.

Zhi Yuan spurted food onto Zhou Lu Zi's face, making a few grains of rice stick to the woman's cheeks and beside the woman's eyes, making the woman's eyes tightly closed, causing her to shut, his lower lip breathed out making the air fall above dropping the rice grains as well as wagging his hair bangs.
