The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

"Xiao Shu, are you here?" There was a bit of disbelief in the joy.

Xiao Shu not only remembered to buy her candied haws, but also took the initiative to walk into her yard. This was as unreal as a dream.

At this moment, Meng Ying wanted to stand up and run over to hug Gu Wangshu. It seemed that as long as she did this, Gu Wangshu would not be angry with her anymore and would always treat her as a family member.

But her legs were in pain whenever she exerted force. She had never been so eager to stand up as she was now.

Zisu knew Meng Ying best, and she could guess from the subtle expressions and movements of Meng Ying. She felt sad and sad in her heart, feeling that her young lady was so humble.

She hugged and dragged her, and Gu Wangshu's footsteps followed her involuntarily to Meng Ying.

"Look, miss, Miss Wangshu has really bought the candied haws, and each one is big and round. At first glance, it seems that they were carefully selected for you, miss."

Meng Ying didn't even look at the candied haws, she stared at Gu Wangshu and asked expectantly:

"Really? Picked especially for me?"

Gu Wangshu glanced at the candied haws in his hand. To be honest, this bunch of candied haws was not only not big, but also not round. The last two bunches were picked by others, so how could they be so big and round?

"..." Gu Wangshu opened his mouth. Under Meng Ying's eager gaze and Zisu's pleading eyes, she couldn't say any words of denial.

Gu Wangshu said "hmm" softly, agreeing with what Zisu said.

She handed the candied haws to Meng Ying.

"Give."

Meng Ying hesitated but didn't answer.

Gu Wangshu: "???"

What's wrong?Don't you want to eat candied haws?

"Give you."

Meng Ying gritted her teeth and finally had the courage to stretch out her hand. However, her hand was not to pick up the candied haws, but instead held Gu Wangshu's other hand.

Gu Wangshu: "..."

Gu Wangshu's hands were warm, but Meng Ying's hands were cold, which made her feel cold.

"Xiao Shu hasn't had lunch yet, has he? Zi Su will bring the food quickly." With that said, without giving Gu Wangshu a chance to refuse, he pulled her into the house together.

There was no charcoal basin in the house, so it was quite cold, not much higher than the temperature outside.

"Xiao Shu, sit down quickly. You must be tired after wandering outside for a long time."

"Are you thirsty? The tea is freshly brewed with perilla and it's still hot. Drink some tea to go away the cold."

Ever since she entered the room, she had never stopped expressing concern in her mouth, nor had her hands stopped. While asking Gu Wangshu to sit down and rest, she also poured her a cup of hot tea.

As she spoke, white mist came out of her mouth.

Gu Wangshu's nose felt sore and he quickly lowered his eyes and took the hot tea she handed over to cover it up.

How cold does it have to be in this room to cause the exhaled water vapor to liquefy into small droplets.

This kind of phenomenon can only happen outdoors. Gu Wangshu has never exhaled white mist in his room, but Meng Ying here...

Gu Wangshu took a sip of tea. She felt bitter in her heart and couldn't even taste the tea.

"How is this tea?" Meng Ying asked.

"very good."

"If you like it, you can come often."

"..."

For a moment, the air fell into silence.

When she didn't answer, Meng Ying unconsciously grabbed her clothes with both hands, as if this could relieve her tension.

Fortunately, the silence didn't last too long, and Zisu came into the house with the food.

When she put all the food on the table, Gu Wangshu found that they were all her favorites.

She immediately understood that Meng Ying had asked Zi Su to prepare these dishes in advance. As long as she bought the candied haws, Meng Ying would have an excuse to let her eat with her.

After preparing so much, Meng Ying would have been so disappointed if she hadn't bought her candied haws.

Meng Ying always had a smile on her face and kept adding vegetables to Gu Wangshu's bowl.

"Xiao Shu, eat more, you have lost weight these days."

This is true. During this period, Gu Wangshu's spirit has been in a state of tension. As long as it is not bedtime, her mind has never rested for a moment. She is thinking about strategies all the time, and even her appetite is a little bit low.

Gu Wangshu glanced at Meng Ying and found that she had also lost weight, and the baby fat on her face was somewhat reduced. Combined with her pale and bloodless face, she looked like a little white flower that had been damaged by wind and rain.

She lowered her head and ate silently, while Meng Ying kept picking up vegetables for her, but she didn't take a bite herself.

There were more and more dishes in the bowl, so many that Gu Wangshu had no time to eat them.

Just when Meng Ying picked up a piece of braised pork and was about to put it in her bowl, Gu Wangshu suddenly opened the bowl and the braised pork fell on the table with a "snap".

The air seemed to condense.

Meng Ying's smile froze on her face, her cautious eyes met Gu Wangshu's cold eyes, and she quickly closed her eyes and avoided Gu Wangshu's gaze.

This cautious look for fear of upsetting Gu Wangshu made Gu Wangshu feel depressed.

Meng Ying accepted the punishment and apologized, but now she kept lowering her posture to please her in order to make her happy. This behavior was not like Meng Ying at all.

Meng Ying was a lady who was favored by thousands of people in the General's Palace. She used to be generous, but her indifference during this period smoothed her edges.

Gu Wangshu picked up the braised pork that fell on the table and put it into his bowl.

Then he picked up Meng Ying's empty bowl and filled her with a bowl of milky white crucian carp soup.

"Don't just take care of me, you should eat more."

Looking at the crucian carp soup in front of her, the confusion in Meng Ying's eyes disappeared instantly. It turned out that Xiao Shu didn't dislike her.

Xiao Shu served her soup and even cared about her health.

Does this mean that Xiao Shu has forgiven her regardless of past grudges?

Meng Ying was so happy that she didn't know what to do, and a smile appeared on her face again.

Seeing her smile, Gu Wangshu finally breathed a sigh of relief and sighed in his heart, it's not easy to coax a woman. (Meng Ying: Well, it’s not easy to coax a woman like you)

Perhaps it was because she spent too long shopping that Gu Wangshu finished two bowls of rice and devoured all the food on the table.

Meng Ying saw it in her eyes and felt happy in her heart. The joy emanating from the inside out could even be felt by Gu Wangshu, who was sitting opposite her.

After lunch, the remaining seats were removed by Zi Su, and only Gu Wangshu and Meng Ying were left in the room again.

The relationship between the two of them has eased a lot because of this meal, but they still feel awkward for a while.

"Well...I'll go back first."

Gu Wangshu turned to leave, but was stopped by Meng Ying.

"Xiao Shu, wait."

Gu Wangshu stood still and found that Meng Ying picked up the candied haws, folded it in half, and handed the second half to her.

"You haven't eaten this year's one yet."

Gu Wangshu was stunned for a moment and then took it. Before leaving, he said, "I'll eat it when I get back."

She walked out of the room, and the sunlight instantly enveloped him, seemingly penetrating her body and illuminating her entire heart.

After leaving Jingya Garden, Gu Wangshu was surprised to find that his grandmother, Lan Yue and Qiu Chi had not left at all. When the three of them saw her coming out, they all came up to her with gossipy faces.

"Xiao Shu, tell grandma what you and Yingying did inside. Why did it take so long to come out?"

Gu Wangshu looked at his grandmother funny.

"Guess!"

"You girl are playing charades with your grandmother again."

Mrs. Gu shook her head helplessly, smiled, and pulled Gu Wangshu.

"Grandma doesn't have to ask about you and Yingying, but there is one thing that grandma must ask clearly."

Seeing that the old man's face turned serious, Gu Wangshu had a vague suspicion in his heart.

"What does grandma want to ask?"

"It's not convenient here. Please go back to Cijing Hall with your grandmother first."

Gu Wangshu did not refuse. Some things could be hidden for a while but not forever. Letting his grandmother know earlier would also allow her to prepare mentally.

Jingya Garden, bedroom.

As soon as Zisu entered the door, she saw her young lady lying on the table, her eyes never moving away from the candied haws, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

"Miss, don't you want to eat?"

"Let's see."

Zisu originally thought that the "looking at it" in her mouth was really just for a while, but she didn't expect that it lasted from lunch to going to bed in the evening, and the candied haws remained untouched for a while.

Zi Su was speechless. Fortunately, the temperature in the lady's room was low. Otherwise, after such a long time, the icing on the candied haws would have melted.

"Miss, how long do you plan to stay?"

"Here to eat."

Before going to bed, Meng Ying finally ate the candied haws with reluctance.

......

It was already dark when Gu Wangshu came out of Cijing Hall. Passing by Jingya Garden, she paused and looked at the candied haws in her hand with a smile on her face.

Qiu Chi took a bite of her candied haws. The sugar on the outside was sweet to her heart, but soon the sour taste of the hawthorn spread, making her teeth so sour that she almost fell down.

Qiu Chi said with a bitter face:

"This candied haws on a stick is so sour."

"Miss, please taste your taste."

Gu Wangshu bit off one and chewed it slowly in his mouth.

Sour and sweet.

"Are you sour, miss?"

Gu Wangshu looked at the closed door of Jingya Garden and said leisurely: "It's not sour, it's the taste of life."
