Soft and crispy waist

Xia Zheng didn't dare to look up. She could only see Princess Yi raising her hand with the red blood jade ring, taking two small brocade boxes from the tray brought by the nanny and handing them to the two of them.

"Inside is a peace amulet for the child and a gift for the two of you. You should wear the amulet every day. The gift itself is not something valuable, so you can enjoy it as you please."

"Thank you, Princess."

"Thank you, Princess." Xia Zheng said a word slower than Wei Qingqing, but she stopped talking at the same time.

People who were far away couldn't hear clearly, but Princess Yi heard it very clearly, so her eyes moved to Xia Zheng's face, and she could see her appearance clearly.

"Princess, it's time." The nanny beside her reminded her in a loud voice.

"I know, I know. You old bastard, you're just afraid I'll delay you for even a moment." Smiling and complaining, Princess Yi looked at everyone and said, "I'm old now, and I need a nap every day. Go and have fun."

Obviously, everyone knew that Princess Yi had such a fixed habit, and they all stood up to say goodbye.

Xia Zheng took advantage of the situation and wanted to retreat. Just as she moved, Princess Yi's voice came from above her head: "Your name is Xia Zheng, right?"

Her heart skipped a beat, and Xia Zheng immediately replied, "Yes, I am your concubine Xia Zheng."

"I didn't have time to talk to you just now. How about this, you accompany me for a while."

She's alone?

Xia Zheng was puzzled and glanced at Tao Yurong.

"Princess, Xia Zheng is of humble origin and lacks the knowledge of etiquette. I'm afraid..."

"Hey, I'm not one of those old-fashioned people. Besides, I think this girl is quite polite. She can just walk me a little way and chat with me. I can't eat her up. As the mistress, you should also learn to relax a little and work less hard."

Things had come to this point in public, and as a junior who had just gained a good reputation, how could Tao Yurong refuse?

Princess Yi used Tao Yurong's previous behavior to block her, and also to tell her that she saw through her thoughts.

Tao Yurong could only clench her hands and give up.

Since she said so, Xia Zheng had no choice but to obey.

Following Princess Yi out of the flower hall, going in the opposite direction of the others, soon there was no sound behind him, and Princess Yi also spoke.

"Why are you so nervous? This princess doesn't eat people."

"I am frightened. I know my status is low, so I dare not say anything." Xia Zheng lowered her head even more, and she was indeed frightened in her heart.

She didn't understand why Princess Yi took her away alone.

If they wanted to check the baby in the belly, Wei Qingqing should be included, and even the focus should be on Wei Qingqing. As long as she was pregnant with a boy, it didn't matter what she was pregnant with.

So she originally thought that when she and Wei Qingqing were summoned, a doctor or something would be called, but she was not panicked, after all, Tao Yurong brought Doctor Qian with her.

Even though he had changed his clothes and had spots on his face, making him difficult to recognize, she still remembered the smell of medicine on the doctor, even though it was much lighter than last time, she still remembered it.

But Princess Yi took her away alone, and was so tough.

Things were beyond her expectations, so she had no choice but to deal with it carefully.

"Is it true?"

Xia Zheng didn't understand what Princess Yi meant by this question, but she could feel that the gaze staring down at her from above seemed to see through her.

The cold air rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and fine beads of sweat broke out on Xia Zheng's forehead.

"I'm just trying to scare you. Look how timid you are." Princess Yi suddenly smiled and relaxed, then continued walking forward.

Xia Zheng took a few quick breaths, looked up and saw that the person had already taken several steps, so she hurriedly took two quick steps and followed him as before.

It wasn't until they reached a large courtyard that Princess Yi stopped, turned around, looked at Xia Zheng, and said, "Just send it here."

Xia Zheng was stunned.

Just send it here?

That’s it?

"What? Are you still reluctant to leave?"

"I dare not." Shaking her head, Xia Zheng bowed tentatively.

Princess Yi looked at her again, then turned and walked into the courtyard.

Only when the footsteps could no longer be heard did Xia Zheng dare to stand up and raise her head.

Princess Yi's figure had disappeared, as if nothing had happened just now.

He actually just wanted her to walk a distance!

Xia Zheng was confused when an old maid emerged from the courtyard and said, "Madam Xia, do you know the way? This way, you can go to the Plum Grove for a feast. This way, you can go to the Reciting Garden. The middle and lower-level students of the Qingya Girls' School are performing poetry there today. You can go and watch."

After hearing this, Xia Zheng understood.

This is because everything about her has been investigated clearly, and it is even bold to speculate that the invitation of Qingya Female School to come here today was done for her.

Why would he do so much for an insignificant maid like her?

Xia Zheng had no way of guessing, but now, she could only go to Chen Yin Garden.

Inside the courtyard, Princess Yi stopped other maids and servants before entering her main courtyard, and walked in alone.

There is a rockery in the courtyard, and water from the river channel outside the courtyard is drawn in from the top, flowing down to form a small waterfall.

A few feet away from the waterfall stands a waterfall-viewing pavilion. A woman in dark red fox fur is sitting in it, twisting a white marble chess piece in her hand and looking at the chessboard on the table intently.

Princess Yi lifted the corner of her skirt and stepped into the pavilion, complaining impatiently, "You're always bossing people around. You ask me to take care of your own affairs, but you take out my treasure to play with it yourself."

"You treasure these little things? Tomorrow, this princess will give you a cart and ask you to make it into a bed to sleep on." *** placed the chess piece in her hand casually on the chessboard.

"You're so mean." Giving her a cold look, Princess Yi returned to business. "But you're right. Your daughter-in-law is really planning on having a surrogate mother. When I mentioned taking that girl away, she was so nervous she couldn't contain herself. She's actually pretty and smart, but unfortunately, her social status is too low, so I'm afraid she won't be able to achieve anything."

"Yizhi is dead, and her only hope is placed on that belly. Naturally, she is afraid that there is a girl inside. Once it is in your hands, there is no way to change it." *** directly ignored the second half of Princess Yi's sentence.

"Is Yizhi really dead?"

*** didn't answer. Princess Yi knew she wouldn't say anything, so she could only vent her anger and say, "I don't have your broad mind and ideals. I don't want to worry about those political affairs. I just know that if something happens to Ruo Yizhi, I will definitely protect the child he leaves behind, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl."

"Then I'll entrust it to you, my aunt."

"You're really good at taking advantage of others!" Princess Yi couldn't stop her, her face flushing with anger. "What about your daughter-in-law? What are you going to do? What about that girl from the Yu family? If you want Yizhi to ascend the throne, the Yu family is indispensable, but now that this has happened, what are you going to do?"

"Let's do what we have to do." *** made another move and won a great victory.

……

Chenyin Garden was originally a place similar to the Pear Garden in the other courtyard. It had a door leading directly from the outside and was considered an independent garden. After it became Prince Yi's Mansion, it could be completely separated from the main courtyard and was sometimes borrowed to hold tea parties.

Therefore, it was not surprising to invite students from Qingya Girls' School, not to mention that Princess Yi was known to everyone for her love of children.

Perhaps for this reason, many people who could not get close to Princess Yi due to their status but wanted to curry favor with her came here, thinking that Princess Yi might come and they could make themselves known to her.

They were always looking at the door leading to the mansion, and few of them really watched the female students singing poems. Xia Zheng, who was staring at them closely, seemed a little prominent.

"Is this lady looking for someone?"
