"Is it done?" Li was just thinking when she saw Song Bairan standing in front of her, with her mouth open like a bird waiting to be fed.
Li put the peeled grapes into Song Bairan's mouth. "Is it delicious? Isn't it sour?"
Song Bairan shook his head, then nodded, "It's delicious, not too sour."
Before the grapes are on the market, pick the early-ripening ones. Although they are big enough, they are not yet sweet enough. You can just eat them for their freshness.
Li took out a handkerchief and lovingly wiped the corners of Song Bairan's mouth. "Don't eat too much. Be careful of sour food and your teeth will get sore. You won't be able to eat soon."
Song Bairan nodded and said, "I understand." After that, he took Li's handkerchief and wiped the juice on Li's hands from peeling grapes.
Li suddenly felt a lump in her throat and lamented her son's fate. Then her idea became more firm.
Meng Qi fanned herself as she watched Song Bairan skipping away from Li. Li just stared at Song Bairan, her eyes filled with unconcealable love and determination.
Meng Qi was surprised to see the determination in Li's eyes at this moment, but she just had that feeling. She had also researched Li's past, and combined with some memories from her past life, as a woman, she felt very sympathetic towards Li's fate.
As an ordinary palace maid, she was undoubtedly lucky to become a concubine, but as a woman, she was unfortunate to lose her own child.
In her previous life, she had slept with Song Chengze only a few times, and she had never had a child, but she didn't care at all. She even thought it was better for her not to have a child. She didn't want to have a child for Song Chengze at all.
This idea only changed when she moved to the village, and she also felt a little regretful. If she and Song Chengze had a child, even a daughter, the ending of her previous life would have been different.
She knew what Li was thinking. In her previous life, Li had gotten what she wanted. When she was making a big fuss later on, Song Chengze did move Song Bairan to Jinmoju and let Li take care of her. When she went in and out, it was as if Song Bairan was her biological daughter.
But everything had changed in this life. Song Bairan now lived in Jing'an Garden, which almost ended Li's desire to support him. But she had no choice. Everything was Song Chengze's idea.
In her previous life, she didn't know Li's final outcome. She believed that this ordinary-looking, non-competitive woman would definitely get a high position and a good ending after Song Chengze took that position, even if she didn't have children.
As the eunuch shouted, "The prince has arrived," everyone stood up and watched Song Chengze stride in. Xiao Lin's face lit up with joy as she hurried over to greet him, even standing in front of Meng Qi.
"Your Highness, are you satisfied with all this?" Xiao Lin fanned Song Chengze attentively while turning back to loudly order the maid, "Quick, bring the mung bean water to Your Highness."
After saying that, he took the bowl handed to him by the maid, gently stirred the mung bean water with a small silver spoon and put it to Song Chengze's mouth.
Meng Qi stood aside and watched Xiao Lin's performance coldly. This idiot, if it was just the two of them feeding each other mouth to mouth it would be fun, but doing this in front of the children and servants would only make Song Chengze more angry with her.
Sure enough, Song Chengze frowned and looked at Xiao Lin unhappily. Seeing this, Bai, who was next to her, hurried forward to take the bowl from Xiao Lin and whispered something in her ear.
Xiao Lin looked at Song Chengze's face and said unnaturally, "Please invite Your Highness to take the seat." After that, she led Song Chengze to the chair.
Song Chengze glanced at Meng Qi. Meng Qi bent her body and lowered her head, as if she didn't see anything.
"Please sit down." Song Chengze said softly after sitting down.
Wu supported Meng Qi as she walked towards the main table, whispering, "She's so arrogant! The princess needs to teach her a lesson."
Meng Qi nodded, "Okay, how do you want to give it to me?"
Wu didn't expect Meng Qi to say that. She was surprised at first, "Maid?"
"Yes, you should come up with a good idea to deal with this arrogant man who doesn't know his place."
Wu suddenly felt full of fighting spirit, "Yes, I will definitely think of a good way to get revenge for the princess."
Meng Qi patted her hands and said, "Thank goodness I have you."
This sentence made Wu even more proud. Li, who was following the two men not far behind, frowned slightly. She walked towards the second seat next to her and turned her head to meet the eyes of Madam Hai, who was standing not far away.
When Nanny Hai saw that she was seen by Li, she gave an indescribable smile, then her face suddenly darkened and she turned and left.
Li sat down and watched Meng Qi, who was at the top seat, sit next to Song Chengze. Xiao Lin poured wine for the two of them and was about to pour wine for Song Baimo, but was stopped by Song Chengze and stood there, as if waiting for Song Chengze to allow her to sit at the top seat.
But Meng Qi said coldly, "Why don't you go back and sit down? Do you want to eat while standing?"
After hearing this, Xiaolin twisted her handkerchief unhappily and walked back to the second seat. When Wu saw her come back, she couldn't help but let out a "ha", which earned her a big eyeroll from Xiaolin.
