Chapter 501: New Dishes

Actually, MO Ruyue wanted to say it directly. She could do her own thing and did not need his help at all. However, Gu Ying had actually helped her a lot. It was too hurtful to say it like that.
After all, Gu Ying was not an ordinary outsider.
Gu Ying understood the meaning behind MO Ruyue’s words, but he did not say anything else.
He knew that MO Ruyue had always been very capable and self-reliant. She was not inferior to any other woman. Therefore, he had been busier than before. He only wanted to improve himself, hoping that he could be a better match for her.
She would often sleep until midnight wondering if he had gone overboard by saying such one-sided words to MO Ruyue.
Sometimes, he would think that if MO Ruyue did not answer him, he would not ask her about it. It would be good to maintain their current relationship. “Mother, I heard them say that this is a house built for our family, right?”
“Mother has become a princess, can you still let big brother fight for the imperial title for you?
MO Ruyue wondered if her words just now had been too distant. She was thinking of something to lighten the atmosphere when Tang Tang ran over and started blabbering, which helped her out.
“Yes, I haven’t thought about that either. I don’t know either. Why don’t our Si Bao work hard to grow up and give it a try?”
“Okay, I will work hard.” Si Bao nodded seriously.
MO Ruyue felt a little regretful when she saw his expression. This child was not like a child at all.
As they spoke, they arrived at the main entrance of the princess’ manor that was under construction. There was a row of eight houses next to it that had been built. They were the residences of the people from the Ministry of Works who had built the house for her. Meng Xun was also temporarily staying here.
The courtyard of the princess’s manor had been built, so there was definitely not even a small part of it built. Perhaps the foundation had not been dug yet.
When the courtyard was first erected, it was to prevent outsiders from seeing the structure inside. This was a secret.
Meng Xun also happened to see MO Ruyue and the others. He hurriedly came out to welcome them, thinking that MO Ruyue was here to supervise them.
“This subordinate greets Princess Ming Yue!”
“There’s no need to be so polite.”
Meng Xun thought that there was no suitable place to entertain the Princess. He might as well invite MO Ruyue into his own courtyard. His courtyard was kept clean and tidy, but he really did not dare to let her enter other places.
It was better not to enter the princess’s manor that was under construction at this time because it had just started construction and was relatively messy.
GuYing, on the other hand, went into the princess’s manor to check on the progress.
“You don’t have to be polite. I brought the babies out to digest.”
“You haven’t eaten yet, right?”
“Yes, I haven’t.”
“However, we are already preparing.”
When Meng Xun heard MO Ruyue say that it would help to digest food, he almost failed to react. Perhaps they had always been living like this.
They would only eat at seven o’clock in the evening, sometimes at eight o’clock in the evening, so that they could finish the construction of the princess’s manor as soon as possible.
“Qiu Shi, give the basket to Lord Meng.”
Qiu Shi trotted forward and handed the basket containing fried chicken and sauced duck to Meng Xun.
Meng Xun quickly reached out to take it. He did not know what was inside, but he had long smelled a burnt fragrance mixed with the fragrance of the sauce. Now that he had the basket in his hand, he knew the source of the smell.
“This is?”
Although Meng Xun had some guesses in his heart, he did not understand why
Princess Ming Yue would come to deliver food to him for no reason. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. His heart thumped, but he quickly suppressed it.
When he left the capital, the Emperor specially called him over, and the words he had said to him surfaced in his mind.
The Emperor said that Princess Ming Yue was actually single and asked him to help see if there were any young talents suitable to be Princess Ming Yue’s husband. Even if they became the husband, they could still walk the official path.
At that time, he still didn’t understand why the Emperor had specially called him over to say those words. Now, he somewhat understood.
Meng Xun thought of many things.
“I thought it would be difficult for you to eat good food here because you’re busy because of me. So, I came here to offer you food.”
“The two dishes in this basket were made by the people in the sanatorium in our village. They taste quite good.”
“Try it.”
“Oh, that sanatorium. It was where the poor people who retired from the battlefield, who were seriously injured, could no longer go to the battlefield, and were homeless lived.”
“Now that we’re helping each other in the village and making delicious food at the same time, we can usually make a living for them. We sell them cheaply, and we basically take care of those in our village.”
“This was a new dish that had just been developed today.” MO Ruyue’s words left everyone dumbfounded!
Si Bao and Tang Tang looked at each other and kept quiet.
They were already used to it. If their mother said something different outside, they had to shut up. If they wanted to know why, they had to go home and ask when there were no outsiders.
“Even my two children like these two dishes very much. They taste really good.
Lord Meng, try them. I hope you like them.”
MO Ruyue felt that her words should be able to move them. Anyway, these people did not lack money to eat and drink. They could eat delicious food and help others. This should be the common trait of officials.
Even if they didn’t want to eat it, they should have taken care of her often because of what she said just now.
She had specially said it, and her meaning was obvious. This wave of advertisements should be enough.
“Many thanks, Princess Ming Yue.”
Meng Xun didn’t know whether MO Ruyue meant it or not after hearing her words. He was just thinking about how he should interact with them when Gu Ying came out of the Princess’s manor’s courtyard and MO Ruyue left with the children.
Meng Xun opened the basket during dinner and took out two large dishes. One of them was duck. The red color was very beautiful. It looked very appetizing and he really wanted to eat it.
The other plate looked like some kind of meat, but it was wrapped in a golden shell. He had never seen this before, so he picked up a piece first.
It tasted like chicken. He had never tasted the crispy shell, but it tasted really good.
He quickly picked up another piece of sauce duck.
In the end, he couldn’t stop eating one after another. Unknowingly, he had finished both dishes by himself, but he didn’t touch the rice at all.
These two dishes were indeed delicious, and it was a taste that he had never eaten before. He felt that if he had another plate, he would be able to eat it.
After MO Ruyue and the others went back, everyone had more or less digested their food. They each ate some fruits and made a small cup of honey water for the two children before washing up and going to bed.
Gu Ying’s room at the Qin family’s side was still lit up. He was currently writing at his desk.
After writing for a while, he turned off the lights and went to rest. The next morning, he personally delivered the letter he had written last night to the town.
If MO Ruyue was here, she would have seen that there was a new Xue Family Bodyguard Agency in this town..
