Soft and crispy waist

"Xia Zheng, how come your cooking skills are so good? This is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life." Chunzhi held the soft and fluffy cake in her hand and couldn't help praising it as her mouth was full of delicacy.

"You said the same thing last time." Xia Zheng smiled at her while washing the gauze.

After getting to know each other, she found that Chunzhi was a delicious food. As soon as she came, she waited outside the small kitchen, waiting for her to share a piece of food with her.

"It tastes better each time." Chunzhi stuffed all the food in her hand into her mouth and looked at it eagerly, waiting for the next piece.

"You are not proactive in serving the master, but you wait a long time for food and don't even mention worrying about it. What will you do when the new concubine comes in tomorrow?" Chef Yang, who had been in a bad mood, didn't dare to vent her anger on Xia Zheng, so she could only vent it on others.

Chunzhi flinched at the tone of Chef Yang's voice, but after all, they were familiar with each other, so she shrank her head and whispered back, "The young lady will always find a place for me to go."

"I'm afraid I'll send you..."

"Ahem." Xia Zheng interrupted Chef Yang by coughing twice.

Chef Yang also realized that she had almost let the cat out of the bag because of her hasty words, so she quickly shut her mouth and walked aside.

Fortunately, it wasn't dinner time, and there was no one else in the small kitchen. Chunzhi was a simple person, so she just watched Chef Yang walk away and whispered, "Am I wrong?"

"Master is just worried about you." Xia Zheng responded with a faint smile, without saying much.

In Chunzhi's current understanding, Tao Yurong is a good master with a kind heart. She believes in her wholeheartedly and thinks that it is safer to remain unaware.

She also understood Chef Yang's anxiety. The concubine of the Xue family would be entering the mansion tomorrow. If she was not promoted to a concubine, she would only be a maid. With her limited ability, how could she get them out of Fanghuayuan?

She was also anxious, but Gu Yizi had not returned home in the past two days and only asked her to practice calligraphy every day.

"Are you having your period?" Chunzhi asked, looking at the red spot on Xia Zheng's skirt.

Xia Zheng turned around curiously and lifted up her skirt, which was indeed a little red.

But her period was not today. It was always on time. Why was it a few days early today? And she didn't feel anything like she had her period before.

Although it is strange, this is actually normal. Maybe it is because I have been too busy this month.

I went back to the servant's room and changed my skirt and sanitary belt. When I went to wash the skirt, I took a closer look and found that the blood was different from before. There was only a little bit, and it was very light, like the blood from the last one or two days.

Could it be because it’s early?

Xia Zheng didn't understand, but it was not a good idea to trouble Gu Yizi to help her find a doctor for this matter, so she would just wait and see tomorrow.

No one cared about the woman's little secret. The entire Zhenguo Mansion was prepared to welcome the new concubine. Red ribbons were hung in front of the gate before dawn. Because she was a concubine, there were no flowers, but it still looked festive.

Four red lanterns were hung on both sides of the two side doors, and the main door was tightly closed.

All affairs in the mansion were arranged by Tao Yurong. As concubines, Xia Zheng and Caiwei accompanied Tao Yurong as she walked around, inspected her affairs, and conveyed her orders.

After half a day, Xia Zheng felt sore in her waist and legs, and a dull pain in her abdomen.

There was only a little bleeding on the second day, so why would it have such a big impact?

But Xia Zheng had no time to think about these things now. She had to deliver the wedding copper coins to Zhao Ma who was waiting at the gatehouse before the Xue family's sedan chair entered the house. Any delay would cause trouble.

So she could only endure the discomfort and jog all the way. When she reached the gate, she could already hear the sound of suona outside.

"Xia Zheng, this way!" Nanny Zhao waved at her anxiously.

Xia Zheng immediately walked past a few people and handed the bag of wedding copper coins in her hand to Zhao Ma, who then quickly opened it and let the servant and maid grab a handful each.

"Come along and share in the good fortune. Maybe good things will happen soon."

Nanny Zhao took out the remaining copper coins from the bag and put them in Xia Zheng's hand.

Holding the wedding copper coin, the red dye on it stained her hand, like the color of a red wedding dress, a color that had nothing to do with her.

Now, the greatest joy for her is to have a place in Gu Yi's heart.

"Here comes the bride! Here comes the bride!"

There was shouting outside the door, and the sedan chair stopped outside the door.

Xia Zheng was escorted out of the side door by a group of people. Seeing the bride being helped out of the sedan chair by the matchmaker, she immediately followed the others and threw the wedding copper coins in her hand towards the bride in front of her.

The copper coins rolled in the air, reflecting the sunlight, and the twinkling stars were particularly beautiful.

A gust of wind blew, just in time to lift up a corner of the bride's veil.

I caught a glimpse of her half face and saw that she was a beautiful woman.

Xue Wuyang also saw Xia Zheng, who stood out from the crowd. She had heard that she was a beauty, but she had never imagined that she would be so stunning at first sight.

The veil quickly fell, blocking the two people's view.

Xue Wuyang was led into the house by the matchmaker, and Xia Zheng also returned to the main hall with Zhao Ma and stood beside Tao Yurong.

Because it was a happy occasion, Wei Qingqing, who was under house arrest, was also released today. She sat on the right with a nose that was not a nose, eyes that were not eyes, and her whole body was burning with fire.

"Sister Wei, have some tea to cool down. There will be people from the Xue family at the banquet later."

"What's the matter? Do I have to apologize to them? It's not like I'm marrying their daughter. Whoever married her agreed to it. Whoever wants to apologize should do it." He rolled his eyes and happened to see Xia Zheng standing there with her head lowered. He said unhappily, "She's so useless. Wasn't she so arrogant and doted on a few days ago? Now she's so quiet."

Xia Zheng didn't respond as usual and punched the cotton again.

"You are both virtuous and generous. The young master should be taking off his veil right now. Who knows, the two of them might be together. I can't stand it. Madam, go to the wedding banquet by yourself. I have to stay here."

Wei Qingqing stood up, glared at Xia Zheng fiercely, and left angrily. Nanny Wang wanted to stop her, but Tao Yurong waved her hand helplessly, indicating that she should follow her.

At this moment, in Wenxi Pavilion, Gu Yizi was wearing a light red brocade robe, holding a weighing rod in his hand, and was using the end of the rod to lift up Xue Wuyang's veil.

Revealing a face that was both pretty and charming, the slightly red cheeks and averted eyes made the girl look even more shy. She was of the same type as Xia Zheng, but not as beautiful and charming as Xia Zheng. Her shyness was a little artificial, not as natural as Xia Zheng's.

"My dear." Xue Wuyang called out in a tender voice.

Gu Yizi put down the wedding scale with a normal expression and said, "Change into your wedding clothes and take a rest. If you have any instructions, just tell the servants outside."

After saying that, Gu Yizi turned around and walked out the door without hesitation. Xue Wuyang didn't even have time to say a word.

She was so angry that she punched the bed.

"Madam, please be gentle. The young master hasn't gone far yet." The maid Liu Ye beside her hurriedly reminded her in a low voice.

"Bring me a bronze mirror." Liu Ye immediately took out a bronze mirror and handed it to Xue Wuyang. Looking at herself in the mirror, she asked in confusion, "Am I not beautiful today?"

"How can the concubine not be beautiful? Today she is even more stunning than the moon and flowers."

"Why won't the young master stay even a moment longer?"

"Young Master still has to go to the wedding banquet. Besides, Master has said before that Young Master is not interested in romantic matters. He is the same with the young ladies in the mansion. He will get along with them over time."

"But isn't he very fond of that concubine?" If he was a cold-hearted person and treated everyone the same, it would be fine, but the news she had learned in the past few days said that the concubine was extremely favored, and even Bai Rixuanyin was not punished.

"She's just a concubine, a plaything. The young master won't respect her, so why should the concubine care about this? If she wants to harass her, she can do it at any time."

Xue Wuyang's eyes turned, and a hint of evil appeared at the corner of her mouth. "I heard that the maid is a good cook. Let me ask her to make me some soup."
