Soft and crispy waist

Feeling the footsteps approaching rapidly from behind, Tuan'er quickly turned sideways the moment they got close. A flesh-pink figure rushed up from behind and stumbled past her.

Fortunately, he quickly stepped forward with his other foot and stood firmly, so he didn't bump into the palace wall.

"Why did you suddenly turn sideways? You almost made me fall." Gu Yingxin turned around and asked Tuan'er with her hands on her hips and glared angrily.

Just by looking at her face, Tuan'er immediately knew who the other person was.

"This servant pays homage to Miss Gu Er."

"How do you know who I am?" Gu Yingxin was surprised.

"The Second Miss looks like the Crown Prince."

Gu Yingxin looked at Tuan'er and shook her head, saying, "You and Xia Zheng don't look like sisters. You're not as charming as her, nor... as plump as her."

"I don't know what the Second Miss means by this. My sister died of illness more than half a year ago."

"Dead? Isn't your surname Xia?" She chased Gu Yizi all the way here, and from a distance she heard the person in front of her say her name was Xia something when she saluted her brother. She thought she was Xia Zheng's sister.

"My surname is Xia, but no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty with the surname Xia knows my family."

Although Xia is not a big family, there are hundreds of people with it in this palace alone.

They weren't necessarily a family, but... "Then why was my brother so kind to you just now? What did you give him?"

"The prince is as gentle as jade, so he will naturally treat me kindly. What I gave you is just something I carry with me."

Personal belongings?

That's just a private transaction!

"You! You're so shameless at such a young age! My brother is more than a generation older than you, and he's old enough to be your elder. How dare you have such thoughts? You... Let me tell you, my cousin's wife is extremely virtuous, and the concubines are also resourceful. Even concubines like Xia Zheng were successful because of their stunning beauty. My brother would never look down on someone like you. Give up your thoughts and just do your own thing."

Since she was not Xia Zheng's sister, she naturally didn't know her cooking skills, and she also wanted to seduce her brother, so Gu Yingxin naturally lost her courtesy.

After giving him a lecture, he walked away angrily.

Looking at her back as she walked away, although Tuan'er deliberately wanted to make her angry and leave, she felt uncomfortable when she heard Xia Zheng.

The Crown Prince's Consort is extremely virtuous. If she were truly virtuous, how could there be such things as competing for favor and poisoning in the mansion?

The concubines were all more powerful than each other.

In their eyes, my sister was just someone who used her beauty to please men, so how could her situation be any better?

After taking a look at the boundless palace, something flashed in Tuan'er's eyes for a moment. She turned around and returned to her seat to continue washing under the strange and inquiring eyes of others.

……

Yinlin Courtyard.

Xia Zheng can now move freely, but she still cannot go out.

Ruanruan had just finished drinking milk. She was a little bigger and had more energy. Every time she lay next to Xia Zheng, she would babble as if she wanted to say something to her.

"The little lady doesn't feel tired of babbling. She will definitely be a talkative person in the future." Shuangjiang put the washed urine ring on a special stove to bake, and said teasingly to Ruanruan.

"It's better to know how to speak so that you won't lose in arguments in the future." Cook Yang came in with lunch.

"You're talking nonsense. Our young lady is a rich lady. Why would she need to quarrel with others? That's what street shrews do." Shuangjiang glared at Cook Yang and walked over to Ruanruan and whispered, "Young lady, we won't listen to her. She's mean."

"You are the bad one." Chef Yang retorted.

The two of them seemed to be bickering, but in fact they were trying to entertain Xia Zheng.

Xia Zheng knew what was going on, so she didn't stop them. She just stood up with Ruanruan in her arms and prepared to go eat.

As soon as I sat down, I heard some noise outside.

After Wei Qingqing's commotion, since the two wet nurses were only seriously injured but not dead, no treatment was given to them considering that Xia Zheng had lost her child and was injured. However, Xia Zheng was kept under strict surveillance and no one was allowed to visit her anymore. Naturally, no one mentioned the wet nurse's matter anymore.

Therefore, only three people could come at this time.

Gu Yizhi, ***, Tao Yurong.

***It's impossible for her to condescend. Tao Yurong just came this morning, so it can only be Gu Yizi who hasn't been home for a few days.

"Carry Ruanruan out. It's windy outside today. Let the prince watch her from the side room."

Frost Frost took two steps outside in disbelief, and when she looked out, she saw that it was really Gu Yizi. She was so surprised that she couldn't control her voice and shouted, "Auntie, how did you know it was the prince?"

Gu Yizi outside must have heard this sound.

Xia Zheng wanted to shut Shuangjiang's mouth with her hands, but the words were already out, and she couldn't express her analysis. She could only lie and say, "I recognize the prince's footsteps."

But Xia Zheng didn't know that Gu Yizi had a much better hearing than other people since he started practicing martial arts. Even though her voice was not loud, it still fell into his ears completely.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. He walked up the stairs and saw Shuangjiang carrying Ruanruan out without reaching out to take her. He said, "No need to go to the side room. I came here today because someone asked me to deliver something to Ruanruan. I will leave after delivering it."

Taking out the small silver lock from his sleeve, Gu Yizi gently put it on Ruanruan's neck. When he left, he gently pinched Ruanruan's little face. Seeing her smile, he rubbed her other cheek before saying, "Take her back to your aunt."

Looking at the tiny silver locket hanging on Ruanruan's body, which was only the size of a finger, it was obviously not something that the Duke's Mansion or its relatives would give as a gift. Yet, it had to be delivered by Gu Yizi himself. Shuangjiang asked in confusion, "Excuse me, my lord, who sent this so that I can inform my aunt."

"She'll know when she sees it."

Frost pushed the door open halfway with half belief and half doubt, carried the person in and then closed it again. Xia Zheng could hear the noise outside, so she walked forward curiously to see without waiting for Frost to come over.

As soon as she saw the little silver lock, tears immediately fell.

"Aunt, please don't cry. It will damage your eyes."

Xia Zheng quickly wiped her tears and nodded, "Don't cry, don't cry. The fact that she can send this thing means that she is still alive and well. It's a happy thing."

Ever since Tuan'er entered the palace, Xia Zheng has been worried.

She begged Gu Yizi to help her find out the list of people entering the palace, only to find out that Tuan'er had changed her name when she entered the palace. There were more than 20 people with the surname Xia on the list, and it was impossible to find anyone to go in a short time.

She knew that Tuan'er did it on purpose because he didn't want her to have to work hard for him.

Now when I see this little silver lock, I feel a little more at ease, but I also want to know where Tuan'er is and how he is doing.

She wanted to ask, but during the confinement period she couldn't see or talk to Gu Yizi, and she couldn't even take things away from her.

"She said this little silver locket was a token of love from her and her mother. Now she's in the laundry and has changed her name. I think she wants to distance herself from the affairs outside the palace. However, with her intelligence, she won't stay in the laundry for too long, don't worry."

Just when Xia Zheng was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, Gu Yizi outside seemed to understand what she wanted to ask and answered her word by word.

Laundry room.

It hasn't warmed up yet, the water must be so cold.

Xia Zheng felt distressed, but also understood why Tuan'er was like that. She gently stroked the small silver lock and bowed to the door of the inner room in thanks.

Gu Yizi seemed to sense it and said, "No need to bow, just rest assured, I will take care of you."

Frost looked at everything and was shocked.

The prince and his concubine are so in tune with each other!
