The little Marquis’ favorite: Madam, she is the richest in the world

It was five days since I returned to the Hou Mansion from Bieyuan.

The old emperor and a group of people gathered there to have fun, but Jiang Heng just excused himself and ran away.

If he stayed with those guys again, he was afraid that he would be able to use one of them as a sandbag at any time.

After returning home, Jiang Heng took a shower and changed his clothes first, and then asked Baili to sort out the military documents of the past few days and send them to the study.

The concierge's boy quietly walked up to Baili and reported: "Sir Baili, Miss Meng was here the day before yesterday."

Baili was startled, "Which Miss Meng?"

As soon as he said this, Baili himself felt that the question was stupid.

Meng Lin went with her to Bieyuan. Who else could come to the Hou Mansion, Miss Meng?

"Why did Miss Meng come here? Did you treat her carefully?" Baili asked repeatedly, fearing that these guys would be lazy because they were not discerning.

"No, no, anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Majesty treats Miss Meng very differently. How dare you, the young ones, neglect her?"

"It's just that as soon as Miss Meng heard that the prince was not in the house, she didn't even get out of the carriage. She said she would come back another day and left."

As an insider, Baili knew something.

At that moment, he didn't even care about the official document. He turned around and rushed to Jiang Heng's dormitory to report the news.

Jiang Heng had just finished taking a bath. He was only wearing a loose white tunic, and the front belt was not tied, vaguely revealing his strong chest and smooth and perfect muscles.

Baili knocked on the door symbolically, and without waiting for a reply, he eagerly pushed the door open and entered.

Jiang Heng glanced at the visitor with slight dissatisfaction, "Are you starting to break the rules now?"

Baili didn't want to defend himself, "Your Majesty, I just learned that Miss Meng has been here in the past few days, but because I heard that you are not at the house, so..."

When the man heard this, he was surprised and happy at first, but at the end he added a bit of annoyance and resentment, "I just said that you shouldn't go to this other garden, it will ruin my important event."

Baili: "Don't be impatient, Your Majesty. Miss Meng left a message saying that she will come back another day."

The tender smile in someone's eyes was not concealed at all at the moment, but there was still a proud and reserved look on his face, "Waiting for her to come again?"

"Then I don't know how many years and months I have to wait?"

With that said, his subordinates were already busy tying their shirts and began to change their clothes and tie their hats.

Not long,

The lazy and laid-back young man who was disheveled just now has turned into a gentle and graceful young man with a face as beautiful as a crown jewel.

Although the so-called warmth is just an illusion.

Baili marveled at its speed, "Your Majesty, you, you are not going to find Miss Meng right now, are you?"

"Nonsense, otherwise why would I try to sneak away from the garden in the middle of the journey?"

That was his original plan, but now that he heard that she had come to see him, he couldn't help but feel even more eager to see her.

"You gave so many excuses just to come back to find Miss Meng?"

"Then you just ordered me to send all the official documents to the study...?"

Jiang Heng was troubled by this series of questions.

His men are good at everything, but sometimes they are too brainless.

"Baili." It's rare for a man to be serious.

Baili's heart tightened, "Yes."

"You are now getting older, why are you still not enlightened at all?"

The little guard looked innocent, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"Ordinary people at your age have both sons and daughters. What do you mean by this?" Jiang Heng gave him a slightly disgusted look.

Baili: "..."

"How can I still think about reading official documents now?"

"Send it to my study first and wait until I'm free."

The little guard was silent for a moment, and then he said something that almost reached his master's waist,

"Then...will you come back tonight?"

Jiang Heng: "???"

The good upbringing of the children of the aristocratic family made Jiang Heng curse, but he still managed not to get angry.

But Baili still understood something from his eyes.

……

Well, he was talking nonsense.

Even if the prince wanted to, it wouldn't be such a good thing.

The little guard thought to himself.

Miss Meng is a powerful person at first glance. It is so easy for the eldest son of his family to gain access to the palace.

-

mengzhai

A sweet and milky aroma filled the entire courtyard of the back house.

The servants of the Meng family, except for some who had to hold important positions, were all gathered outside the kitchen at this moment, eagerly waiting for their sister Chunxiang to bring out one plate after another of exquisite and delicious pastries from inside.

The pastries that the servants tasted were made by Meng Xian.

Opposite Zuixianglou is Meng Xian’s dim sum shop, Yue Ya Zhai.

Different from ordinary dim sum that only pursues taste,

Yue Ya Zhai, on the other hand, pursues food supplementation while having both color and fragrance, and takes it orally to nourish the body and replenish qi.

And these snack houses were all developed by Meng Xian and his people after reading countless medical books.

In order to ensure the nourishing effect while pursuing the best taste, Meng Xian often makes a dim sum over a dozen or even dozens of times.

Under such tempering,

Although Meng Xian is not good at cooking, his skill in making dim sum is excellent.

Needless to say, the taste of the treasures produced by his hands is exquisite.

What's even more rare is that the style is exquisite and lifelike, which often makes people reluctant to eat.

In fact, these things could have been left to the people below.

But Meng Xian just likes to toss by herself.

She felt a special sense of accomplishment as she watched various ingredients being cooked and prepared in her own hands, turning them into exquisite and delicious pastries.

of course,

There is another extremely important reason why she is willing to do it herself——

This makes it easier to eat by yourself~

Like many girls, Meng Xian loves these snacks very much.

And those who like to eat will naturally enjoy the process of making it with their own hands.

……

In just one morning, Meng Xian had made it no less than ten times in order to try out the best taste of bird's nest and red date cake.

Every time the cakes came out of the oven, she was not satisfied after tasting them, so she asked Chunxiang to take them out and share them with her servants.

So the servants of the Meng Mansion love their girl most when she develops pastry recipes.

Those things that usually only the nobles can enjoy, at this time, they can have this good taste.

On the twelfth try,

Meng Xian finally made a taste that satisfied her.

Then, in order to make the best use of the remaining ingredients, I prepared to make cloud cakes, rose cakes, and a jujube paste cake. I also asked the cook to make a mung bean and lily soup to relieve the heat.

……

When Jiang Heng came to Meng Mansion this time, he walked through the main entrance.

The moment he revealed his identity, the little boy guarding the gate was scared away.

He was frightened and wanted to go in and pass the ball, but he stopped him and refused to let him go.

I don't know why, but every time he wants to see her, a bad taste will well up in his bones - in fact, he just wants to tease her.

Just like now,

He just wanted to catch her off guard and scare her.

So he signaled the two boys to continue being his servants, and entered the house alone.

Then--

He found someone simply because of the scent.

Because after entering the house, I haven’t walked a few steps.

The aromas that hit your nose are all kinds of crispy, sweet and milky aromas.

When he looked for it, he saw many servants gathered in the courtyard of the main hall.

Chun Yue noticed him first in the yard and was about to salute him, but was stopped by his silence.

Chun Yue was also very eye-catching at the moment, waving her hands to the other servants in the courtyard to leave one by one.

At this point, he quietly approached the kitchen and saw Meng Lian who was busy in an orderly manner.

Her black hair was all tied up, she was wearing an apron, her wide sleeves were held up by her arms, and she looked quite gentle and virtuous.

Probably because she was too focused, there was a little bit of flour on the tip of her nose and one side of her cheek, but she didn't notice it.

Her movements were smooth and very familiar, as if she had done this kind of thing all the time.

Jiang Heng was really surprised.

Because no matter how you look at it, she really should be a charming young lady who has no fingers in the spring water.

He really didn't expect the scene before him.

……

Meng Xian originally had no other thoughts and was immersed in the delicious food that was about to be cooked by his hand.

But I vaguely felt like something was wrong.

The outside that was extremely noisy just now was actually very quiet at the moment, with no movement at all;

strangeness.

I was about to call Chunxiang Chunyue and ask where everyone outside had gone.

As a result, when he raised his eyes, he happened to bump into those cold and deep pupils.

I never expected that he would suddenly appear here.

Meng Xian was stunned.

The two people's eyes met, and they just looked at each other.

Meng Xian only felt that everything around her seemed to be still at this moment.

The person in front of her seemed to be frozen.

He looked straight at her with seriousness and concentration.
