Okay, then take one down, I'll need it later.
"Yes, madam, please wait a moment."
Halfway through their meal, Shen Yingying and Ouyang Yuqing were greeted by a guard who brought them a screen.
"Madam, the covering cloth has been brought. What do you need it for?"
You can keep it for now; you'll find out soon enough.
"Xiao Tao..."
The maid, Xiao Tao, was only halfway through her meal when she heard her mistress call out.
She quickly wiped her mouth, got up, and walked to Shen Yingying.
"Madam, what can I do for you?"
Okay, Xiao Tao, we'll eat later. You pack a jar of pickled vegetables, twenty meat-filled buns, some rice and steamed buns, and take the roast chicken. Come with me later.
"Yes, madam, I'll go get it right away."
A little while later, Xiao Tao came over carrying a basin.
"Madam, is all the food you requested here?"
Shen Yingying looked at Ouyang Yuqing after she saw that the preparations were almost complete.
Ouyang Yuqing looked at his young wife looking at him.
After wiping his mouth, he said to Shen Yingying, "Let's go..."
So Ouyang Yuqing led Shen Yingying, followed by Xiao Tao and the guards, toward General Qin.
Before Ouyang Yuqing could even reach General Qin, she was discovered by General Qin's son.
So he nudged General Qin beside him.
"Father, Prince Zhan."
When General Qin heard his son mention Prince Zhan, he turned to look at his son and asked, "What's wrong with Prince Zhan?"
"Father, I meant the Prince and Princess have come here, look..."
When General Qin heard from his son that the War King had arrived, he immediately got up.
Just then, Ouyang Yuqing led Shen Yingying to General Qin's side.
General Qin instinctively wanted to kowtow to Ouyang Yuqing in greeting.
Ouyang Yuqing quickly helped General Qin up and said to him, "General Qin, I am now just a commoner, no longer a prince. You don't need to bow to me."
"Your Highness, in this old minister's eyes you have always been an invincible prince."
General Qin, don't talk about those things anymore; they're all in the past.
General Qin nodded silently.
Everything is understood without words...
"General Qin, my wife noticed while we were eating that you don't have any rain tarpaulins here, but I happen to have quite a few."
So I brought one over, which is just what you need.
"Your Highness..."
Alright, no matter what you say, it's no use. Look at your wife, her health is failing her.
You can tough it out, but your family can't.
Hurry up and set up the shed so they can stay cool.
"Ah... Thank you, Your Highness."
My wife brought some food; you can take some and share it with your family.
"Your Highness, this is unacceptable. This old minister is already grateful for the mere piece of rain cover he has received."
How could an old minister steal food from the prince's mouth?
"Why are you grabbing this? It's for you. Besides, it's so hot, the food I bring won't keep. It'll just spoil and I'll have to throw it away. I might as well give it to you to fill your stomachs."
The old minister thanked the prince.
Don't call me "Your Highness." I no longer have a title. If you keep calling me that, people might cause trouble for me.
"From now on, I will call you Young Master."
Before my father passed away, he instructed me to always be loyal to the royal family.
But as you've seen, the old minister's refusal to take sides has angered the current emperor, and this...
"Alright, call me Young Master if you want, I don't have that many formalities here."
Yes, young master.
"Alright, tell them to set up the shed quickly and distribute the food."
I have some mung bean soup cooked over there. I'll have someone bring some over to you later so you can cool off in the summer heat.
"Young Master, you have given this old minister far too much. What am I to do?"
