Tang Shunyan wanted to say no, but what's with a girl always sticking to him?
He tried to find an excuse, saying, "I still need to take my afternoon nap!"
"I'll wait for you. Whether I take a nap or not doesn't matter, as long as there is ice in the room next to where I stay!"
Meng Zhaojun certainly didn't want to sit in the pavilion in the garden; she had no choice in the sweltering midday heat, where sitting in the pavilion was like feeding the mosquitoes.
She could never get used to ancient times where hot days came without air conditioning. Ice was placed in the room at home every day. The adults wouldn't let her drink too much icy water, knowing it was for her own good, but having ice in the room was essential!
"Mother, please arrange for Miss Meng. I am going to take my nap now," Tang Shunyan said after lunch, not caring whether Meng Zhaojun agreed or not, and left with his two maids.
