Soft and crispy waist

In a daze, Xia Zheng felt something staring at her.

She suddenly opened her eyes and saw a round object coming towards her in the darkness. Before she could react, her hand instinctively took out the scissors that had been pressed under the pillow.

As soon as I took it out, my hand was grabbed by a big hand.

Just as he was about to struggle, he heard a familiar voice of rebuke: "Be careful not to hurt yourself."

Gu Yizi?

Xia Zheng was stunned.

The center of the round shadow suddenly lit up, and the light spread out, illuminating the surroundings, and it was revealed that it was actually a round lantern.

It is half a person's height and four feet wide. The outside is painted with four seasons on light paper, and inside is a cat. I don't know how it was done, but the inside and outside can rotate. It looks like there is a real cat running, jumping, and napping inside, living through season after season.

The dim light illuminated Gu Yizi who was standing next to him. He was elegant and graceful, with a smile on his face, like an immortal in a dream.

It's just a little darker.

"You sleep so lightly now?" Gu Yizi frowned slightly as he looked at the scissors in her hand.

His footsteps were so light that even a martial artist in a deep sleep might not be able to detect them. But she woke up as soon as he approached her, which showed that she had not slept well at all.

"It's always difficult to fall asleep after the belly gets bigger." Xia Zheng explained and put down the scissors. She wanted to get up but was stopped by Gu Yizi.

"Since you're pregnant, it's going to be very inconvenient. Just lie down and I'll take care of it."

he comes?

What's coming?

While he was confused, Gu Yizi had already taken off his coat and sat on the edge of the bed in a natural and familiar manner, ready to lie down. But when he saw Xia Zheng's big belly, he remembered that he had heard soldiers with pregnant wives say in the army that women with big bellies always get up at night to go to the bathroom, so he jumped from her side and hugged her from behind.

"The fire on the 30th, the lantern on the 15th. Since you can't go out to see the lanterns today, I brought one for you. Do you like it?"

Looking at the exquisite lantern, Xia Zheng knew that it must have been carefully selected by Gu Yizi. She was pleased and nodded, saying, "I like it very much. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

"You said you were greedy during the day, but now you're so greedy that you're willing to give up just one lantern? They all asked me for red envelopes and gifts, but you won't ask for any?"

Thinking back to when Xiao Jingyue had asked Gu Yizi for a red envelope in front of the mansion, Xia Zheng was confused. Was he asking for one for her too? Was it just a rule? Or was it…

Just as I was hesitating about how to start, two scarlet spots appeared in front of me.

A closer look revealed that they were two teardrop-shaped earrings, as red as jade and cinnabar, with a hint of starlight in their gorgeousness, sparkling even more under the dim light.

"These ruby ​​earrings are a gift for you."

Ruby!

Xia Zheng had never seen it before, but she had heard of it before. She quickly waved her hands and said, "This item is too valuable. I cannot afford it. Besides, the prince has already given me this generous gift from the Luo family. I really don't deserve it."

While speaking, Xia Zheng reached out to open the small box that had been placed in the cabinet, and was about to take out the contract inside and give it to Gu Yizi, but was pulled back by his hand first.

"Just keep it. You helped me a lot with the military rations before, and before that as well. If it weren't for your sachet, I'm afraid I would have died."

"Sachet?" Xia Zheng looked at the one hanging on the window curtain and asked, "The one that was originally hanging here?"

"Yes, this is the first time I've seen iron beads in a sachet."

"The iron beads have weight, so they can hang down and sway continuously, and they can also prolong the fragrance, so I put them in there."

"That really was thanks to your brilliant idea. If it weren't for that iron bead, that arrow would have hit me right in the heart."

Heart!

If you're hurt in your heart, then...

Xia Zheng was so scared that she turned around immediately, reached out and ripped open Gu Yizi's shirt, and her face turned pale instantly when she saw the scar on his heart.

It was true that she knew Gu Yizi was injured, but she didn't expect that the injury was in such a fatal place, and he almost died. If it was really as Gu Yizi said, then if she hadn't put the iron beads in the sachet, and if he hadn't taken it away quietly, then he would have died, and she would have been dead too.

Xia Zheng broke out in a cold sweat after surviving the disaster. She instinctively touched the wound with her fingers and whispered, "Buddha bless you."

Seeing her so nervous and scared, Gu Yizi regretted telling her about this.

But, inexplicably, I always wanted to tell her, to see what would happen if she knew.

"It was all thanks to you that I saved the lives of 100,000 soldiers and me. Now, neither of these events can be made public. This small gift is truly an injustice to you. I will compensate you later."

"The sachet was just a coincidence, and I only gave you a recipe for the military rations."

Xia Zheng felt unworthy of it. She was the one who gave the recipe, but she didn't do the cooking. She was the one who had the easiest time in the whole thing. What's more, she just copied the recipe from someone else. If she didn't have the cookbook, she wouldn't be able to come up with the recipe. But, she couldn't say it.

"If we don't have the recipe, how can we get military rations? The Luo family should give it to you and our children."

For the children?

He means……

Xia Zheng excitedly raised her head and wanted to say something, but before she could open her mouth, her lips were covered by two gentle ones.

After a moment of stunned silence, Gu Yizi smiled.

"Why, are you so anxious just seeing me?"

Understanding what Gu Yizi meant by "anxiety", Xia Zheng's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She quickly lowered her head and opened and closed her mouth several times, not knowing how to explain it.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, go to sleep." Holding her tightly, Gu Yizi smelled the jasmine scent on her body and felt a rare peace in his heart.

Xia Zheng looked at the lantern, holding the ruby ​​earrings in her hand, and she was completely awake.

He seemed to be treating her better than before. There might be other reasons for his alienation this morning, but it shouldn't matter now. So...

"Sir, I have a favor to ask of you."

……

Shengyang Garden, Chenlu Tower.

Xiao Jingyue leaned against the soft couch, kicking the rolling ball lamp below with his feet. Looking at the lights everywhere outside tonight, his face no longer had the innocence and innocence as before. His whole body was cold and he looked down on everything.

The maid came in from outside and handed a small bamboo tube to Xiao Jingyue.

Pulling out the cloth inside and seeing the words written on it, Xiao Jingyue sneered. "There's also a pair of earrings. Tsk tsk, who will you give them to?"

No one in the room dared to answer.

Xiao Jingyue didn't care. He put the cloth strip into the incense burner and burned it. Looking at the burning flame, he tapped his fingers on the low table from time to time, as if tapping his heart, which was very scary.

"Go and prepare a pair of ruby ​​earrings so I can give them to my good cousin tomorrow morning as a New Year's gift."

Thinking of Tao Yurong's relieved look today, Xiao Jingyue couldn't wait to see what expression would be on her face tomorrow, and whether she could still maintain the mask of being virtuous.

As for Xia Zheng, it seemed like she had chosen the right person at first sight. Gu Yizi treated her differently from others.

The first child is even more different.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyue jumped up, picked up the lamp on the ground and said, "Let's go, it's time to let my aunt see the lamp I made."
