...
Glazed Pavilion.
The summer weather was sultry, and Chen Wei sat in the pavilion to cool off. There were chilled fruits on the small table and the smell of mosquito-repellent sandalwood lingered in the air.
Chen Wei leaned back in a reclining chair, applying a beauty mask she had prepared herself on her face, holding a wolf-hair brush in her hand, with rice paper spread out on the desk.
She was thinking about the next business plan. After the "Wei Yan Ji" shop opened successfully and she had enough financial reserves, she planned to open a restaurant and inn.
In addition, after midsummer comes autumn, and she has to make new clothes for King Yan to express her love and care appropriately.
"Master, the iced citrate water you requested is here." Caiping held a small bowl of iced citrate water. Shen Wei liked to eat sour food during her pregnancy, and overly sour citrate water was her favorite.
Shen Wei took a big sip happily and felt refreshed all over.
Caiping frowned as she watched.
Cai Ping couldn't help but say, "Master likes sour food, so there must be a lively and strong young master in her belly. Master, how about we cover it up? You pretend to eat spicy food to confuse the outside world."
There has always been a rumor among the people that "sour boys and spicy girls". It is said that if a pregnant woman likes sour food, she is expecting a boy; if she likes spicy food, she is expecting a girl.
Cai Ping was also thinking about Shen Wei. The princess has a hypocritical heart and if she finds out that Shen Wei might be pregnant with a boy, she might take action secretly.
Shen Wei put down the bowl and smiled faintly: "If I can't even protect the baby in my belly, there is no point in living in the backyard of the palace."
Liuli Pavilion is her territory, and the princess cannot reach in. Chen Wei is favored by Prince Yan and protected by the Queen. If she deliberately eats spicy food to hide her tracks, her life would be too cowardly and aggrieved!
Moreover, the saying "sour boys, spicy girls" actually has no much scientific basis. Regardless of whether the baby in her belly is a boy or a girl, Shen Wei will definitely take good care of it and pave the smoothest future for the child.
Caiping nodded, not quite understanding.
"By the way, go buy a few bottles of tea oil this afternoon, the most expensive kind." Compared to the sour boy and spicy girl, Chen Wei cared more about tea oil.
Cai Ping smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master. I'll remember this."
In ancient times, there was no pregnancy oil for women to use during pregnancy, so Chen Wei could only use tea oil instead.
When a woman becomes pregnant, it is easy for her to develop stretch marks as her belly swells. Tea oil is rich in fatty acids and vitamin E. It can be eaten or applied on the skin to moisturize the skin and effectively prevent stretch marks.
Shen Wei doesn't want to give birth to a child in the future with a belly full of ugly stretch marks. Men are hypocritical creatures. They may say "pregnancy is hard", but when they see a woman's belly full of stretch marks, they will most likely feel disgusted in their hearts.
She has to prepare early and take precautions in advance.
Shen Wei put down her pen and continued writing. After she finished three pages, she heard a cheerful call from outside the Glazed Pavilion.
"Master, Concubine Zhang is here." Just as Caiping finished her words, Zhang Miaoyu ran over happily. Like a white and tender cute meat dumpling, she rolled into Chen Wei's pavilion.
Zhang Miaoyu's chubby face was flushed, and her big black eyes swept around the small table next to Shen Wei: [Fresh and delicious iced watermelon, grapes and peaches, a bowl of brown sugar jelly, a bowl of ice cream, two plates of candied fruit...]
"Sister Shen Wei, I have nothing to do today, so I came to you to have a personal chat - hey, what is that on your face?" Zhang Miaoyu sat down on the bamboo chair next to Shen Wei, which made a dull creaking sound.
Shen Wei knew the purpose of her visit. After wiping off the mask on her face, she smiled and said to Zhang Miaoyu, “Sister Miaoyu, you can eat all the food on the table.”
Zhang Miaoyu couldn't wait to pick up a bowl of ice cream and said happily, "I don't know why, but I always feel that the food here is especially delicious. The scenery is great, the people are beautiful, and I can eat a few more bites of food."
In the hot summer, Zhang Miaoyu couldn't even eat her favorite braised pork elbow. She preferred to eat something cool and refreshing.
There is a lot of delicious food here at Chen Wei's place, and Zhang Miaoyu likes to come here to eat and drink for free.
Zhang Miaoyu said excitedly, "I also want to eat some ice cream. When I leave later, I want to take two bowls back with me. Is that okay?"
Shen Wei nodded happily: "Okay."
Zhang Miaoyu had a big appetite, and most of the food on the table ended up in her stomach.
Cai Ping was watching in amazement, and could not help but approach Zhang Miaoyu's maid: "Sister Xiangyu, how long has your master not eaten? He is going to eat our Liuli Pavilion out of money."
Zhang Miaoyu's maid was named Xiangyu. Xiangyu eats delicious food with her master every day, and her face is quite round.
Seeing his master eating and drinking so much, Xiangyu's head drooped lower and lower, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
It's so embarrassing. I can't face anyone.
Zhang Miaoyu held a bowl of icy cold yogurt in her hand and her eyes fell on Shen Wei. I saw Shen Wei holding a brush and writing and drawing on the rice paper seriously.
Zhang Miaoyu was very shocked. Every time she came to stroll around Shen Wei's place, Shen Wei was always busy - running, writing and painting, growing vegetables, studying the furnishings of the research house, selecting fabrics for making clothes for King Yan, preparing dinner, and making sachets.
She is always busy and never has a moment of rest. You can't see the slightest sign of slackness in her and she is always full of energy.
Looking at myself, I eat and sleep, sleep and eat every day. Lie down when you are sleepy, and continue eating, drinking and having fun when you wake up...Zhang Miaoyu suddenly wondered if she was living too roughly?
But she couldn't be as hardworking and motivated as Shen Wei. Zhang Miaoyu couldn't just stick to running every day.
Out of kindness, Zhang Miaoyu held the bowl of ice cream and came to Chen Wei: "Sister Chen Wei, there is something I want to tell you. This morning, a sedan chair was carried in from the backyard. The princess has chosen a new concubine for the prince!"
