Reborn to marry, the short-lived prince lived a hundred years

Meng Tingyue pointed to two places on the booklet and said, "Two of them are the jade shop and the escort agency."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Qin pondered, "There really is no one in the capital who has opened a jade shop. The Crown Princess is trying to set a precedent."

"Wouldn't it be risky to forcibly deliver the jade to the capital? Furthermore, the escort agency needs a lot of people, all of whom must be skilled in martial arts. Finding such a person is not easy."

Meng Tingyue chuckled, her expression revealing a relaxed and at ease look. "Then we'll need to ask our Crown Prince for help."

"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the mansion?"

"Here I am."

"Let's go to the kitchen."

An hour later.

study.

Shen Yunheng was talking with Jiang Meng when there was a knock on the door and Ling Qi's voice was heard.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is here."

"No." Shen Yunheng answered decisively.

He was handling official business and would not see outsiders unless it was an urgent matter.

After that, he continued to discuss business with Jiang Meng.

Ling Qi looked helpless. "Look, how about I send someone to notify the Crown Princess after the Crown Prince is done with his work?"

Ling Qi's eyes fell on the food box in Meng Tingyue's arms.

Meng Tingyue nodded in understanding, and seeing Ling Qi was unfamiliar, she asked, "Why didn't I see Ling Xiao today?"

"Ling Xiao has been assigned elsewhere by His Highness. My subordinate's name is Ling Qi."

Meng Tingyue wrote down the name and smiled softly, "Since Your Highness the Crown Prince is busy, could you please help me pass the things to His Highness?"

Ling Qi nodded and took the food box handed to him by Meng Tingyue.

Meng Tingyue thanked him and left.

Ling Qi knocked on the door five times before pushing it open and entering. He quietly placed his things beside Shen Yunheng's desk and left quietly.

It took half an hour for Shen Yunheng to finish his work.

His throat was dry, so he reached out to grab a cup of water but found it empty. His attention was drawn to a black paulownia carved food box beside him.

Jiang Meng saw it and said, "The Crown Princess came just now. This must be a gift from the Crown Princess to Your Highness. Your Highness should open it and take a look, so as not to disappoint the Crown Princess's painstaking efforts."

Shen Yunheng took off the lid of the food box, revealing a white porcelain cup.

He took out the porcelain cup, opened the small lid and peeked at the soup inside.

Pork ribs and lotus root soup.

The smell is refreshing and will whet your appetite.

Jiang Meng naturally smelled the scent and said cheerfully with a grin on his white teeth, "This must be what the Crown Princess prepared for Your Highness. The Crown Princess really likes Your Highness as the rumors say."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Meng felt that the aura around Shen Yunheng had become slightly colder. It was extremely subtle, and it was only because he had been with Shen Yunheng for a long time that he could notice it.

He looked confused, not knowing what he had said wrong to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince angry.

"Ling Qi."

Ling Qi heard the call and went into the house, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"Send this thing back."

Shen Yunheng put the lid back on, his expression revealing no emotion.

When Ling Qi heard this, he thought Shen Yunheng didn't know who sent it.

"Your Highness, this was delivered by the Crown Princess herself. I heard from the kitchen staff that this was cooked by the Crown Princess herself for Your Highness."

After he finished speaking, he carefully observed Shen Yunheng's expression. Seeing that he was calm, he sighed inwardly and walked forward to take the food box away. "I will send it back to the Crown Princess right away."

Ling Qi had just turned around and was about to step out of the door when a cold voice came from behind him, "Put it down."

Hearing this, he put his mind at ease again.

Ling Xiaocheng was not lying to him. His Highness really cared about the Crown Princess, but he felt uncomfortable and unwilling to admit it.

Jiang Meng watched as Shen Yunheng wanted Ling Qi to throw it out one second, and wanted Ling Qi to take it back the next. Jiang Meng was deeply impressed by how quickly his expression changed.

Your Highness feels really awkward. The Crown Princess has personally made a soup and apologized, but Your Highness is still angry. I don’t know what the Crown Princess has done to make Your Highness angry.

Could it be that last night’s wedding night was unhappy?

Jiang Meng's eyes rolled around, and the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. He didn't even notice that a pair of icy eyes had fallen on his body.

"Jiang Meng."

Shen Yunheng called Jiang Meng twice before he came back to his senses.

"But I have other opinions on the matter of talent."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Meng subconsciously replied, "I think the Crown Princess has already apologized personally, so Your Highness should just forgive her. It's normal for couples to quarrel and make up afterward."

Jiang Meng's mouth works faster than his brain.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Shen Yunheng's coldness and anger coming at him like a bloody knife.

"Jiang Meng."

Jiang Meng stood up and stood straight, "I'm here."

"I see you've been too idle lately, and you've been having some random thoughts. I think it's because the military camp is busy, and Wei Li is out suppressing bandits recently, so you should go and help."

"Your Highness, but..."

"roll."

"...I will leave now."

Jiang Meng left at lightning speed.

Shen Yunheng's eyes fell on the porcelain cup, his eyes dim and unclear.

into the night.

After finishing her meal, Meng Tingyue leaned on the couch and read a book.

The door was wide open, and the April evening breeze was slightly cool, blowing away the heat left in the house during the day.

Nanny Qin was worried that Meng Tingyue would catch a cold due to her frail body and the night wind, so she found a thin blanket to cover her.

Qingdian was carefully wringing out Meng Tingyue's hair.

When Shen Yunheng entered the room, he saw her leaning on the couch, her hair still wet, concentrating on reading a book.

It was not the first time he saw Meng Tingyue without makeup, but he could see from her face that she was comfortable and relaxed, without a trace of affectation.

This seems to be her most ordinary side.

"Princess Consort, the Crown Prince is here." Qinglan reported dutifully.

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that the prince was looking at her with a very unfriendly look.

She shrank her neck in fear and stepped back.

Meng Tingyue and the book had bright smiles on their faces.

"My husband is here."

She got off the bed, without any fear of being almost strangled to death by the person in front of her last night. She grabbed Shen Yunheng's arm and dragged Shen Yunheng to the small couch where she had just rested.

"Please sit down, my husband."

Shen Yunheng had a blank expression on his face, wanting to see what she was going to do.

Shen Yunheng did not sleep with Meng Tingyue tonight. Meng Tingyue thought he would not come tonight and was thinking about whether she should make some snacks and send them over to save face in front of the prince.

"Has Your Highness had his meal?"

Shen Yunheng nodded.

"Would your Highness like to drink some water?"

Shen Yunheng stared at her with his dark eyes, and opened his thin lips slightly: "It's nothing to be polite to."

Meng Tingyue replied calmly, "There is no adultery and no theft."

"Husband, please don't think so badly of me. I cooked for you because I really wanted to be nice to you. Is it to your liking?"

She was extremely confident in her cooking skills. Everyone who had tasted it said it was delicious, and Nanny Qin and the others all praised it highly.
