At noon, Princess Jingning stayed at the Hou Mansion and had lunch with Meng Jinyao.

After lunch, Meng Jinyao asked the maid to make lychee and water chestnut iced sugar water, and sent some to the first and second bedrooms.

Lychees can cause internal heat, but water chestnuts can relieve internal heat. The sugar water is sweet and delicious, and the iced version is better. It is refreshing and sweet in one sip, and it can relieve heat. It is just right to drink it when the weather is hot.

Princess Jingning took a sip and let out a pleasant sigh: "It's really good. Why didn't I think of making it into sugar water before?"

Meng Jinyao replied: "I also suddenly thought of it."

"Have you always eaten lychees like this before?" Princess Jingning glanced at her in surprise, then nodded, "It's better if you know how to enjoy it, it's quite delicious."

Meng Jinyao shook her head slightly and replied warmly: "No, I have never eaten it before, I just wanted to try it on a whim. When my grandfather was alive, I ate lychees once, and then I ate some the day before yesterday and yesterday. The emperor gave them to the Marquis. of."

Princess Jingning was stunned, and suddenly remembered that the Yongchang uncle's house was from a down-and-out family. After the death of the old uncle, the current Yongchang uncle could not stand up, so how could he afford lychees? In addition, Meng Jinyao was not favored. Even if the Yongchang Mansion had not declined, it would not be Meng Jinyao's turn to eat lychees.

Thinking of this, Princess Jingning said: "I will send you lychees every summer from now on."

Meng Jinyao said gratefully: "Thank you Ayan, but you don't have to give it to me every year. The Marquis said that I will be given lychees every year in the future."

Princess Jingning was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "Master Gu Hou treats you very well."

"Master Marquis treats me really well. He has never treated me badly since I married into the Marquis' mansion." Meng Jinyao said, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her smile was gentle and peaceful.

After hearing this, Princess Jingning looked at her intently for a long time, suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Shizi Gu, your cheap son, he is blind, and his reputation is ruined for the sake of an orphan girl. Let him go." If a nice girl like you doesn’t want it, I don’t know if he regrets it.”

Meng Jinyao replied: "It is impossible to regret. He hates me deeply now and feels that my existence has embarrassed him."

Princess Jingning looked shocked and said in disbelief: "He hates you? He did something sorry for you and made you a joke in the whole capital. How can he have the right to hate you?"

Meng Jinyao raised her lips and smiled happily: "I married his father and became his mother. His fiancée became his mother. He couldn't hold his head up. Of course he hated me. Even if I was the second or fourth son back then, He had no choice but to marry his father, which made him even more embarrassed."

Princess Jingning was surprised: "Did you choose to marry Lord Gu just to anger him?"

"To piss him off?"

Meng Jinyao sneered disdainfully. The princess treated her sincerely, and she regarded the princess as a true friend. She said truthfully: "Who is he? I just think that marrying someone is not a marriage. Since you want to marry someone, you must combine all the people." I need to find the best one, Lord Marquis is better than his two nephews, and he can also protect me."

Hearing this, Princess Jingning gave her an appreciative look and asked with interest, "Then will he call you mother?"

Meng Jinyao smiled and said, "In front of others, he will definitely call me mother."

Princess Jingning felt happy after hearing this: "He deserves it, his reputation is bad now. People outside are saying that if he marries a wife, he must be someone who spoils his concubines and destroys his wife. It is estimated that there is no such thing as a noble lady from any family." I am willing to marry him, unless he marries a lowly man, a man from a small family who sells his daughter for glory."

Meng Jinyao glanced at her in astonishment. Seeing that she was gloating about his misfortune, as if she had some grudge against Gu Xiuming, she was a little confused: "You seem happy to see him unlucky?"

Princess Jingning babbled with disdain on her face: "I just don't like him. He keeps up his posture all day long and looks like a good person, but in fact he is a hypocrite. On the other hand, others say he is gentle and elegant, and has the qualities of Lord Gu. Style.”

Meng Jinyao was stunned: "Ayan has good eyesight."

Princess Jingning smiled in surprise: "It's not bad, but because I have seen his bad side, I feel that he is quite different from what he shows."

As she spoke, she took another sip of sugar water. The cold and sweet sugar water entered her mouth, and she felt refreshed all over her body. She added, "Don't mention it for now. Drink it while it's cold. I guess it won't taste as good when it's hot."

After drinking sugar water, Princess Jingning stayed for more than half an hour before returning to Prince Liang's Mansion.

-

Gu Jingxi came back after a break.

Meng Jinyao saw him and called him warmly: "Husband."

Then, she ordered Ningdong to bring the iced lychee syrup to Gu Jingxi to cool down. This portion was specially reserved for him.

When Gu Jingxi heard this, he was a little flattered. How had he ever received such treatment from a little girl? Prepare sugar water before he leaves so that he can drink it when he gets home. He said warmly: "Madam, you are interested."

Meng Jinyao met the man's surprised gaze, which was a bit flattered. Her face froze, and she suddenly felt that she had been incompetent as a wife before.

Now that the weather is hot and the husband is busy with official duties, the wife doesn't know how to ask the maid to make some soup to relieve the heat.

She felt a little uncomfortable and looked away uncomfortably, saying: "My husband likes to drink sugar water, so I will continue to ask the maid to do it next time."

Gu Jingxi was not polite to her: "My husband wants to drink mung bean soup tomorrow. Put less sugar in it. It doesn't need to be too sweet."

Meng Jinyao agreed: "Then I'll tell the kitchen to prepare it tomorrow, so my husband can drink it when he comes back from work."

Gu Jingxi said: "Then there is Mrs. Lao."

Meng Jinyao shook her head hastily: "Husband, you don't have to be polite, I'm just talking."

After saying that, she was slightly startled and felt even more guilty. She had never done anything to talk about it before. On the contrary, she enjoyed herself every day. Everything she ate, clothed and paid for belonged to Gu Jingxi, and she was also raised by her. The meat has gained several kilograms.

Seeing that she was silent, Gu Jingxi looked at him with a guilty look on her face, thoughtfully, and he seemed to understand what she was thinking, and said warmly: "As a husband, I don't care about food and drink. It doesn't matter whether you have something to eat or not. Madam, don't ask for more." think."

Meng Jinyao opened her lips slightly, but in the end she didn't say anything. However, she felt that she had to be more competent in the future. Gu Jingxi fulfilled her responsibilities as a husband, and she also had to do what a wife should do. She couldn't enjoy the benefits brought by others. But give nothing in return.

After a while, Ningdong brought the sugar water over. Gu Jingxi saw lychees and asked, "Madam, why are there still lychees?"

Meng Jinyao replied: "Princess Jingning brought a few kilograms of lychees over today. I couldn't eat that much, and it wasn't enough to divide the lychees between people, so I had someone make sugar water and divide it between the first and second bedrooms. Let’s borrow flowers to worship Buddha and let everyone eat.”

Gu Jingxi was surprised: "Madam, are you on good terms with Princess Jingning?"

Meng Jinyao nodded gently: "They are new friends I have made in the past few days."

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi stopped asking any more questions.
