Soft and crispy waist

In fact, she did 'fall' on her own.

I didn't lie to Gu Yizi. The reason for my "slip" was because of his indifference and alienation.

But the time was too short, and she couldn't know why he treated her like this.

But now the only one she can rely on is Gu Yizi, and she must hold on to his affection for her, so she can't wait, otherwise according to the rules, it will take a whole month for Gu Yizi to come to her house, and by then, the opportunity will be gone.

Therefore, almost when Xiao Jingyue urged her to go to the river, she had already planned to "fall".

But she didn't expect to be so lucky. Just when she caught the fish, Tao Yurong's people came to tell her the location of the banquet.

Although Tao Yurong did not take any action now, she knew that Tao Yurong would never tolerate someone like Xiao Jingyue who posed a greater threat to her, but she was just enduring it for now.

But tolerance does not mean that she can ignore everything, especially when it comes to her most beloved child.

Xiao Jingyue was also aware of Tao Yurong's hostility towards her, so it was impossible for them to communicate with each other. Therefore, Xia Zheng took advantage of this and quietly moved closer to the maid and Xiao Jingyue, and slipped down at the right time.

Although the river water was freezing cold and deep, she had been able to swim since she was a child and would go to the river to wash clothes in winter. She had long been accustomed to it. When she entered the water, she was like a fish, with everything under control.

The difficulty lies in how to be natural after waking up.

Gu Yizi had some doubts about her before, and she felt it, so she quietly nudged her belly to make the little guy active.

Fortunately, the little one cooperated. When Gu Yizi touched her belly, she knew that he loved the child.

Wei Qingqing just lost her child. The baby in her belly is her first one and also Gu Yizi's first child in the true sense. As long as he is not a cruel person, he will definitely treat it differently.

As long as Gu Yizi has feelings for the child, even if it's just a little bit, it will be enough.

As for my mother's matter, it will naturally come to fruition in due time.

The only regret is that she still cannot go to see the lanterns during this year's Lantern Festival.

Looking at the square house, I stroked my belly and let Frost turn off the lights.

On the other side, Xunyang Pavilion was extremely lively.

A lot of people came, everyone who had a slight relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion came. The originally planned ten or so tables were now set up for thirty, and the entire Xunyang Pavilion was full.

Gu Yizhi was still out socializing. In the inner chamber, the Empress Dowager sat at the head of the table, with Tao Yurong and Xiao Jingyue flanking her. Gu Yingxin arrived a little late from the palace. As soon as she entered the chamber, she took off her fox fur coat and asked, "Where's your pregnant concubine? Why isn't she here?"

When she came, Gu Yingxin specifically looked at the table where the concubines were sitting in the small pavilion on the side. She only saw concubine Huan and another person with a round head and round face, but no sign of Xia Zheng.

"You seem to care about your brother's concubine. What's the matter? Are you very good to her?" *** asked with an unclear emotion, holding a wine glass in his hand.

"No way!" Gu Yingxin denied, her voice rising. "I only met her once before at Princess Yi's residence, and I just asked casually. How could I be friends with her?"

Gu Yingxin sat down and looked at the table full of light dishes. She couldn't help but think of the bowl of milk paste Xia Zheng gave her that day, and she didn't want to eat it anymore.

"Sister Xin is still as quick-witted as ever, but Sister Xia fell into the water today and caught a cold, so she can't come." Xiao Jingyue informed considerately.

"Falling into the water! She was pregnant, how could she have fallen into the water? Is she okay?" Gu Yingxin asked a series of questions anxiously. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she explained awkwardly, "I was concerned because she was pregnant with her brother's child and Sister Wei had just had an accident."

"Our sister Xin is kind and beautiful. Sister Xia is fine. The doctor said the fetus wasn't hurt. We're so lucky. As for how she fell into the water..." Xiao Jingyue turned her gaze to Tao Yurong across from her and said casually, "It's hard to explain right now."

Gu Yingxin was puzzled. There was no explanation for falling into the water.

Before anyone could ask, Tao Yurong chimed in, "Yes, it concerns offspring, and something happened before. This matter should be thoroughly investigated."

Their eyes met, and Gu Yingxin, who was sitting between them, suddenly seemed to smell some gunpowder, and looked at her mother *** without knowing what was going on.

***, however, acted as if he didn't notice and was eating the food in his own bowl and plate at ease.

"Xia Zheng woke up and said that she accidentally fell into the water. The river bank is slippery and dangerous. If left alone, it will cause more trouble, so I have ordered people to fill the river." Gu Yizi said as he walked in, as if he was just talking about an ordinary matter.

But everyone at the table except Gu Yingxin's expression changed.

This is a warning to them.

This time, since Xia Zheng was fine, he just filled the river. But if he had another thought, no one knew what he would fill it with.

He didn't investigate, but he suspected everyone and warned everyone, including ***.

*** paused with her chopsticks picking up food, and just as she looked up unhappily, Gu Yizi, who had come up to her, took a brocade box from Changfeng's hand, bowed and presented it with both hands, saying, "My son found a piece of excellent blood jade from the sacred mountain outside the Great Wall. I heard that blood jade can nourish yin and improve the body, and has the effect of prolonging life for women, so I specially ordered someone to carve a pair of blood jade bracelets for you."

Gu Yizi's voice was loud, and the special structure of the cabinet could transmit his voice clearly. Everyone heard the voice and looked over.

Seeing Gu Yizi opening the brocade box, a pair of bracelets inside that were as red as blood and faintly shining with light immediately attracted everyone.

Blood jade is rare, and it was given personally in front of everyone, which naturally dispelled the rumors that Gu Yizi and *** were not on good terms, and also gave *** what she wanted.

Naturally, *** will no longer care about trivial matters.

"The battlefield is dangerous, but you still remember your mother. I am very happy." She asked Nanny Qin to take the brocade box and picked up some food for Gu Yizi.

The mother's love and filial piety also tacitly agreed to let go of Xia Zheng's matter.

Tao Yurong breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the blood jade bracelet was a gift to ***.

Xiao Jingyue's eyes darkened slightly, and he said nothing more.

Only Gu Yingxin couldn't see through the twists and turns, and she insisted on wanting the blood jade bracelet too. However, Gu Yizi suppressed her desire with just a look, and she sat at the table angrily, not daring to speak again.

Just like that, Gu Yizi's welcoming banquet ended without any incident.

No one had any objection to Gu Yizi staying in his own Shuseki Residence tonight. Naturally, no one noticed that he had hidden a lantern in his house.

Under the cover of night, one person and one lamp entered Xia Zheng's Yinlin courtyard.
