pampering wife

Chapter 48

When bidding farewell to He Jiuniang, Qingmei hangs around very much. Seeing her like this, Junli has to coax her: "If you like it, come back later." He went out obediently, but he still smiled happily for this trip out of the house.

Jun Li looked at her cheerfulness as if a bird in a cage was free again, and asked casually: "Since you are not free in Gu's mansion, why do you still recognize Mrs. Gu as a foster mother, where do you want to live every day? "

Qingmei was taken aback when she heard the words, she naturally didn't dare to clarify the entanglement between her and Madam Gu, so she could only vaguely say: "My mother raised me in a deep boudoir, so it's for my sake to teach and learn girls, I'm too naughty, hehe " She lowered her head with a guilty conscience and pretended to kick the stones under her feet, but she didn't notice the disappointment in Jun Li's eyes at all.

It was past noon, and Qingmei was a little hungry after tossing and tossing for a long time, so she caressed her stomach by accident while walking, Jun Li saw it and just smiled.

After leaving the house, Jun Li didn't get into the carriage, but asked Qing Mei, "Where do you want to eat?"

Touching her belly, Qingmei felt that Junli was so considerate, she unconsciously forgot his identity as a prince, raised her face and asked, "What's there to eat?" While speaking, she followed Junli into the next door courtyard.As soon as Jun Li waved his hand, Dan Qing trotted into the house, and came out after a while with two veiled hats.

Junli asked Qingmei to put on the veiled hat, and said: "Out of the alley is Koufu Street, there are all kinds of snacks, and further forward is the famous delicacy restaurant nearby, which one do you want?"

"Koufu Street!" Qingmei put on the veil without hesitation, and once again lamented Junli's thoughtful arrangement - she came out under the name of Princess Yongle, if she went to the street with her face bare like this, in case she was not careful Wouldn't it be another trouble if someone from the Gu family saw it?

The waiter next to him also took on the veil and hat, and the four of them walked out of the alley and walked along the road. There were all kinds of snacks on both sides, and there were rouge shops, antique shops, bird shops and stalls selling all kinds of small things.Since Junli made it clear that he wanted to thank Qingmei, the choice of food was based on Qingmei's preferences - wonton, scallion shortbread, walnut cake, milk tea... They were all common foods in the market, but they made Qingmei feel extraordinarily sweet.

When she had to walk through Chuankoufu Street, Qingmei had a full belly and a smile on her pretty face, obviously very satisfied.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Jun Li took her back and wanted to drive her back with the car just now.Qingmei thought of Mrs. Gu's insinuating cross-examination after she returned home, so she asked anxiously: "This time I borrowed the name of the princess, so I won't reveal my secrets, right?"

"You can't trust me?" Junli paused, and looked at Qingmei sharply.

Qing Mei hurriedly shook her head and said: "How can I not trust His Highness the Third Highness!" Suddenly, she had an idea and wanted to ask Junli for a favor, "I want to come out again later to see Aunt He and Lian Er, can you ..."

"I can, but what will you give me in return?" Jun Li asked seriously.Qingmei tilted her head and thought for a while, how can she repay her as a commoner girl with no property?He couldn't help frowning and pondering for a while, and after turning his mind for a long time, he couldn't think of anything that could be obtained.

Seeing her like this, Jun Li tapped on her forehead through the veiled hat, and said, "Let's open the tavern earlier."

It seems that the Third Highness misses her fruit wine very much!Qingmei was proud of herself, thinking that with the name of Princess Yongle and the help of Gu Changqing and Junli, the tavern should still be able to open.She couldn't help but look at Junli who walked half a step faster than her, with a tall and straight silhouette, natural nobility, but not as alienated as she imagined by the royal family and nobles. After turning around, the two of them were joking and joking like old friends, but it was not the same. It makes people feel kind.

She must have done a lot of good deeds in her previous life to have such a noble person help her, right?Ome thought.

Back in the Gu mansion, Mrs. Gu brought up today's incident as expected, Qingmei said: "The princess called me over, and asked about some fruit wine, saying that she also wants to try it."

"How did she know about fruit wine?" Mrs. Gu was surprised.

Qingmei speculated reasonably: "Maybe Shuming county magistrate or Miss Wei thought the fruit wine was good that day, so she accidentally mentioned it. The princess seemed very interested and asked me how to make fruit wine. She is leaving today At that time, he also said that Hou'er might ask me to come and talk."

"Did you tell her that you brewed the wine?" Mrs. Gu was surprised, her tone was a little anxious.

Qingmei replied with a blank face: "Yes, Princess Yongle is high above me, and I was careful when I answered, not daring to lie. Aunt, did I do something wrong?" Standing up, she looked at Mrs. Gu with some trepidation.

Mrs. Gu, who was opposite, sighed: "It's not wrong, it's just... well, it will be troublesome in the future!" She pulled Qingmei to sit close to her, and said: "Princess Yongle is from the royal family, we should be fine." It's better to be less annoying. If she is willing to flatter her, it's fine for you to talk to her, but if you accidentally make a mistake and annoy her, I'm afraid your life will be in danger. Be careful in the future, it's better to be more than one thing One less thing."

Qingmei bit her lip.In fact, after careful calculation, where is the connection between the Gu family and the royal family?The friendship between Gu Changqing and Junli is well known in the mansion, and Gu Ronghua was so favored by the imperial concubine that he almost chose him as the third prince's concubine. How could he not deal with the royal family?Mrs. Gu is so worried because she is thinking that Qingmei's upbringing and knowledge are not as good as Changqing and Ronghua's, and she is afraid that she will cause trouble.
