“This servant can’t be sure either. It’s possible that he’s angry because of what you said before.” At this point, Mrs. Yu hesitated and added, “Madam, I feel that you should try your best to serve His Highness and make him happy.
“As long as he’s happy, there are many things that you don’t need to ask for. In order to please you, he will give them to you.
“On the other hand, taking the initiative to ask would be counterproductive.” Although Zhou Jiaying felt uncomfortable, she knew what she said made sense. Initially, she thought their relationship would never change, but over the past few months, she realized that he had changed. He had changed so much that she felt she was no different from any other woman to him.
It seemed that she really had to reflect on herself. She could not imagine how they would live the rest of their lives if she lost favor.
She said, “Mrs. Yu, prepare my bath. Prepare the clothes and accessories that I will wear tomorrow.”
“Yes, but your body is still weak. You must be careful not to hurt your body.” “Understood. Go and prepare.”
On the day of Yang Lexin’s full moon, the Gu Residence was invited because they had sold the greenhouse vegetables to King Kang. Zhou Ying had no choice but to bring Gu Wanning to King Kang’s residence.
After registering the 100 taels as their gift, they took the initiative to drink tea in a corner.
Then, the royal family members began to arrive one after another.
At this moment, Zhou Ying also discovered that King Kang had mainly invited royal family members.
As for the ministers in the court, they were either relatives of the Marquis of Ding’an or first-grade officials like Prime Minister Su or Grand Scholar Sun.
She was probably the only one of her kind who did not have an imperial mandate.
When she saw this, she could not help but be on alert.
Soon, Mrs. Sun sat down and said, “You must be Mrs. Gu.”
“Madam Sun sure has a good memory. I didn’t expect that you would still recognize a commoner after only meeting once.”
“It’s mainly because you’re too beautiful. It’s hard not to remember you.”
“I’ll take it as a compliment.”
Mrs. Sun was stunned for a moment and smiled. “It is a compliment.”
“I heard that Lord Gu’s greenhouse has begun to produce vegetables. Is that true?”
“Yes, but there are only leafy vegetables now. They will appear at the banquet later.”
“That’s great. I wonder if you can send some to my residence. I haven’t eaten fresh vegetables in a long time.”
“No problem, but the quantity is limited. I’m afraid I can only let you have a taste.”
“Just send as many as you can.” Mrs. Sun nodded.
At this moment, Consort An walked over. Madam Sun immediately stood up and went to chat with Gu Wanning.
What surprised Zhou Ying was that Consort An also mentioned sending vegetables.
“Don’t you also grow vegetables in your hot spring manor?” Zhou Ying asked in confusion.
“How much can we plant? Besides, there are many owners of that manor. We barely get a share of the produce.”
“That’s true, but there’s a limit to what’s grown in the greenhouse too. I’m afraid we can’t give too many.”
“I understand. Please send over as many as you can.”
Following that, many more came asking for vegetables. Zhou Ying finally understood what Zhou Huaiming meant.
As long as the news was released, the vegetables would sell like hotcakes.
However, she replied to all of them with the same thing and did not dare boast about her produce.
Conversely, Mrs. Sun chatted with Gu Wanning for a while. Seeing that she had a gentle personality and did not like to gossip too much, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, the Gu couple were very close to King Rui. Now that Gu Wanning had changed her surname, she could be considered a real member of the Gu family. If she had a stubborn personality, her daughter would not have an easy time in the future..
