General Qin was touched by his wife's understanding and support.
"Madam, the Prince has sent some food. Please distribute it as you see fit."
I'm getting old, and my health isn't what it used to be. I'll leave these things to my eldest daughter-in-law from now on.
"Honey, don't talk nonsense. Once we get to the desert, I'll give you a good boost."
As they get older, they should enjoy their retirement, and these are the things they should be worrying about.
Let your eldest daughter-in-law handle it; she needs to get some experience too.
"Alright, you can rest here for a while. The prince said they've cooked some mung bean soup and will bring some over later."
When it arrives, I'll fill a bowl with some and bring it over for you to drink, to cool you down.
"Okay..."
Shen Yingying and Ouyang Yuqing finished their meal.
She waited for a while, but the mung bean soup never cooled down.
She looked at the sweltering heat of mid-July and sighed inwardly: "Sigh... how long will it take for it to cool down naturally?"
So Shen Yingying got up and walked towards the place where the mung bean soup was stored.
Chunxi was getting anxious as she watched the mung bean soup never cool down.
As I got anxious, I started sweating.
As soon as Shen Yingying reached the place where the mung bean soup was placed, she saw Chunxi sweating profusely.
She thought to herself: This girl is truly sincere.
"Spring Joy..."
Madam, what brings you here? The mung bean soup is still warm.
"It's alright, Chunxi, go get some sugar from the carriage."
Yes, madam.
While Chunxi was away, Shen Yingying quickly used her ice-type ability to chill each bowl of mung bean soup.
By the time Chunxi brought the sugar, the mung bean soup had completely cooled down.
"Huh? Madam, why does the mung bean soup feel cold?"
It was probably going to get cold anyway...
Chunxi was simple-minded; when Shen Yingying said that it was about to get cold, her curiosity dissipated in a short while.
"Madam, the sugar has been brought."
Bring it here...
"Yes, madam..."
Shen Yingying took the white sugar and sprinkled it into the basin. She also secretly took some out of her spatial storage and sprinkled it into the basin as well.
This mung bean soup is good for cooling down in the summer, but without sugar, the taste isn't as good.
So she sprinkled more than usual.
After she finished sprinkling the soup, she said to Chunxi, "Chunxi, stir the mung bean soup."
After the sugar has dissolved, call a guard and bring two bowls of mung bean soup to General Qin.
"Yes, madam."
Shen Yingying then carried a bowl of mung bean soup back to Ouyang Yuqing.
Back at Ouyang Yuqing's place, she placed the mung bean soup on the table.
When no one else was around, she put some honey in it.
After secretly placing the honey inside, she called for Xiao Tao to bring two empty bowls.
Xiao Tao obeyed and brought out an empty bowl.
Shen Yingying caught the empty bowl and sent Xiao Tao off to drink mung bean soup.
Shen Yingying ladled out a bowl, chilled it with her ice-type ability until it had a slight icy residue, and then handed it to Ouyang Yuqing.
"Try it..."
Ouyang Yuqing took the bowl of mung bean soup—no, it should be called mung bean paste now.
He scooped up a spoonful and ate it.
Instantly, Ouyang Yuqing's mouth felt icy cold and had a refreshing sweetness.
He nodded in satisfaction and said to Shen Yingying, "It's delicious. You should sit down and eat too."
Seeing that Ouyang Yuqing was enjoying her meal, Shen Yingying served herself a bowl and used ice to make shaved ice, which she then began to eat.
After taking a bite, she smiled and said to Ouyang Yuqing, "Yuqing, having a shaved ice in this hot summer is really refreshing."
Shen Yingying and Ouyang Yuqing shared a mung bean smoothie.
The second wife learned that Ouyang Yuqing had given General Qin's family a tarpaulin and food, and she was furious.
At this moment, Su Degui seemed to have forgotten that they had severed ties with Ouyang Yuqing.
He sat on a bluestone and muttered curses.
