While undercurrents were surging outside the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, life was peaceful and tranquil inside.
The eldest prince Gao Rui came to visit on a sunny day.
Yu Tanqi finally met the next emperor of Wanjin Kingdom.
The 23-year-old eldest prince already looks like a young man with a handsome appearance. His every move and gesture exudes noble majesty.
She just took a look, then lowered her head and acted like a quiet and reserved girl.
"Tan Qi greets King Ping Zhao." She bowed.
The eldest prince has been crowned king, and most people will address him by his title as a sign of respect.
Only those close to him can still call him the Crown Prince or His Highness.
This is how Jiang Shi addressed the eldest prince: "Your Highness."
Gao Rui looked at Yu Tanqi politely, a smile on his face: "Miss Yu, there's no need to be so polite."
Jiang Shi invited them to sit down, "Your Highness, it's hot in the summer, and Tan Qi made me some cool drinks to cool you down. I'd like you to try them. If you like them, you can take some home and drink them chilled."
Three servants came over with a tray and carefully placed the iced drink on the table.
Gao Rui asked curiously, "What kind of ice drink is this? I don't think I've ever seen it before."
Jiang Shiyi explained: "This bowl is called fruit smoothie. It tastes cool and delicious. Your Highness can try it."
"I've heard of ice watermelon, but this is the first time I've heard of fruit smoothie."
Gao Rui exclaimed in amazement, reached out to pick up the bowl of fruit smoothie, picked up the mango cubes with a pair of chopsticks, and put them in his mouth. The heat in his body seemed to be blown away, and his eyes lit up slightly.
"It's really delicious." He took another bite of the pitted lychee.
Jiang Shi smiled gently and said, "These are all ice drinks made by Tan Qi's servants. As long as Your Highness likes them, that's all."
Gao Rui glanced at him. There was something in his mouth that he couldn't express, but his eyes expressed it.
You kid, you know your fiancée is very powerful.
So the reason you asked him to come here today is not just to let him meet this Miss Yu, but also to let him praise and envy the good relationship between them, right?
Jiang Shi's lips curved slightly, and with his slender jade-like hands he picked up a small bowl of fruit smoothie and said to Yu Tanqi, "You're not in good health, so you can't be too greedy for cold food. You can only eat a small bowl."
A small bowl is good too.
Yu Tanqi happily took it with both hands: "I know."
Gao Rui took a bite of the blueberry smoothie, but didn't see Jiang Shi personally handing him the fruit smoothie.
Men, once they have a sweetheart, they forget about their brothers and sisters.
After all, brothers are like limbs and women are like clothes.
A gentleman can have his hands and feet cut off, but he cannot be left naked.
Jiang Shi watched Yu Tanqi sip the fruit smoothie and said to Gao Rui, "There is also iced milk tea. Your Highness, you can try it. If it's too sweet, you can add less sugar."
Gao Rui asked knowingly, "Which bowl is the iced milk tea?"
Danqing, who was standing beside him, came forward and handed him the iced milk tea considerately: "Your Highness, this bowl is iced milk tea."
He also likes the ice drinks that Miss Yu discovered, especially milk tea, and drinks more than three bowls every day.
Gao Rui: “…”
He glared at Danqing, reached out to take the ice milk tea, and drank it in big gulps. The sweet, cool and delicious taste made him feel much better instantly.
"It tastes very good. Miss Yu is really smart." He put down the empty bowl and smiled at Yu Tanqi.
Yu Tanqi said a little embarrassedly: "These are all recipes I saw in books and asked the servants to make them. They are not my own ideas."
Gao Rui said, "You can understand what is written in the book and teach your servants to make such a delicious ice drink. This also proves your intelligence, Zi'an, don't you think so?"
Jiang Shi looked at Yu Tanqi with gentle eyes: "Yes, Tanqi is very smart."
Yu Tanqi blushed in embarrassment, lowered his head and pretended to be busy, eating the sour dates in small bites.
Gao Rui suddenly felt a sour taste in his teeth.
He actually used to feel sorry for Jiang Shi because he was a lonely man. Now that he sees that Jiang Shi has such a well-behaved and lovely fiancée, he can have her by his side and hold her in his arms. He wonders how happy his life will be.
And he still doesn't know where his future wife is.
Gao Rui already had two empty bowls in front of him. He looked at the remaining bowl and asked, "What's the last bowl of ice drink?"
Jiang Shi said, "Mung bean milk ice."
Gao Rui picked it up and took a sip. "It tastes like mung beans, but I don't taste any mung beans."
Yu Tanqi explained: "Because the mung beans have been stirred, the iced drink tastes better this way."
Gao Rui exclaimed, "I've never tried these three iced drinks before. They taste amazing! After just one bowl, I feel refreshed all over."
He looked at Yu Tanqi and said, "Miss Yu, I have a humble request. I would like to ask you for a recipe to send to my mother. She will definitely like these ice drinks."
Jiang Shi looked at Gao Rui and frowned slightly.
Gao Rui seemed unaware. It was not that he was putting pressure on Yu Tanqi, but he really wanted to ask for the recipes of these ice drinks for his mother so that she could have a happier and more comfortable summer.
Eating sweets can make people happy.
The Queen had already said it, so Yu Tanqi dared not refuse and quickly said, "Your Highness, you are too polite. I will write down the recipes for these ice drinks and give them to you."
Gao Rui smiled and said, "I'm afraid my subordinates are too stupid to make such a delicious iced drink right away. Could you please ask the servants in the Marquis' Mansion to make a few more bowls so I can bring them to my mother to try?"
"sure."
Finally, Gao Rui left the Wu'an Marquis Mansion with satisfaction, holding three ice drink recipes and ten large food boxes.
It was sunny when he arrived and dusk when he left. He also had two meals for free, so he gained a lot.
He was also a truly filial son. Instead of returning to the palace, he went straight into the palace.
In Fengyi Palace, the graceful and noble Queen was having dinner alone.
When she heard the palace maid say that King Ping Zhao had arrived, she stood up in surprise. Seeing the handsome young man, before she could ask him if he had dinner, she heard him say happily, "Mother, guess what good things your son brought you?"
Empress Zhang then noticed the three guards behind him, each holding two large food boxes. After a moment's thought, she asked, "Where did you see something delicious that you wanted to bring to me to taste?"
"Mother is wise. This is indeed delicious, but it is different from what I brought you before." Gao Rui said with a smile.
"Oh, what is that?" Empress Zhang couldn't help but feel curious.
"Open it." Gao Rui ordered the guards, then personally brought out a bowl of fruit smoothie and handed it to Queen Zhang.
"Mother, this ice drink is called Fruit Smoothie. Try it first. It's absolutely delicious."
The cool breeze blew away the heat in the air in midsummer. Empress Zhang couldn't help but reach out to take it, picked up the spoon and scooped a mouthful of the strawberry smoothie. The taste in her mouth made her beautiful eyes light up slightly.
"It tastes great." She couldn't help but nod in praise.
"Yes, does the Queen Mother like to eat it?"
"I like it. Where did you buy it?"
"I didn't buy it. Zi'an's fiancée, Miss Yu, had the servants make it. This is the first time I've eaten it today, and I couldn't wait to bring it to my mother to try."
