Chapter 115 She became an aunt!
After returning to the courtyard, Shuangxue and Shuangjiang immediately got some warm water to wipe Xia Zheng's cold body, changed her into warmed clothes, and dried her hair.
When they came out of the bathroom, Nanny Liang just brought Ruanruan back.
Xia Zheng took Ruanruan over. The little guy was so tired that he had fallen asleep, with a belt still tightly clutched in his hand.
I pulled it out out of curiosity and saw a jade pendant hanging underneath, which looked very familiar.
It seemed to be the one that Gu Yizi often wore around his waist.
"At the subsequent banquets, the prince personally carried the young lady, taking her with him wherever he went. When he returned, he would bring her to the courtyard gate before handing her over to the old servant. The young lady refused to let go of the jade pendant, so I gave it to her."
"My father ordered this to be made of warm jade when my brother was born. I wasn't allowed to touch it before, but now it's given to this little brat. How unfair." Gu Yingxin snorted as she looked at the jade pendant.
Xia Zheng touched it and felt warm indeed.
The things inherited from father and son were given to Ruanruan, which shows how much Gu Yizi doted on Ruanruan.
As he was sighing, Nanny Liang beside him suddenly knelt down.
"Madam Liang, what are you doing?" Xia Zheng hurried to help.
Madam Liang remained motionless, shaking her head and saying, "Today, I failed to keep a close eye on the young lady, causing her to nearly lose her life. I deserve death. Please punish me, my aunt."
"I deserve to die. Please punish me, my aunt." Shuangjiang also knelt down.
"Madam, please don't do this. You are embarrassing me. No one could have predicted what happened today. Besides, Concubine Wei is a skilled martial artist. How can you resist her?" Xia Zheng tried to support her again, but Madam Liang still didn't move.
This is a case of not refusing to start unless punished.
Helpless, Xia Zheng had no choice but to say, "Madam, you are the prince's person, so the punishment should be done by the prince."
"The prince has given this old slave to your aunt today. From now on, I will be the head nanny in your courtyard. Your aunt, don't worry, just punish me."
"Give it to her? You are my brother's wet nurse, and you gave it to my aunt..." After saying this in surprise, Gu Yingxin found that everyone in the room was staring in shock. Only then did she realize that she had let the cat out of the bag and quickly covered her mouth.
Xia Zheng's back was sweating at this moment.
Gu Yizi's wet nurse is like a mother to her. Even Tao Yurong has to treat her with respect. She actually became the housekeeper of her courtyard.
Still kneeling at this moment.
Xia Zheng felt dizzy and wanted to help the man up again, but it was still useless.
"I only nursed the prince for a while. I'm nothing more than a nanny kept idle in the mansion."
Not to mention a period of time, even one day would be different.
Seeing that Madam Liang was determined, Xia Zheng had no choice but to relent and said, "Then... then as a punishment, all of Ruanruan's food, clothing, and other expenses will be handled by Madam Liang from now on. If she makes any more mistakes, I will not forgive her."
"Yes, I will obey your punishment. If the young lady makes any more mistakes, I will bring my head to see Auntie."
"That...that's true..."
"I will go and take care of all the affairs right away." Before Xia Zheng could stutter out a refusal, Nanny Liang had already stood up and left.
Shuangjiang was still kneeling on the ground, staring at Xia Zheng, waiting for punishment.
Xia Zheng waved her hands in pain, "I'll punish you by making you follow Madam Liang and study hard."
When Shuangjiang heard that she had to follow Nanny Liang, her eyes became dim, but she had asked for the punishment herself, so no matter how difficult it was, she nodded and followed her out.
"Tell this girl to beg for punishment. She'll start crying." Gu Yingxin covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Seeing Xia Zheng looking at her, she immediately restrained herself and said with a stern face, "Since you're fine now, I'll leave."
"Second Miss, wait a minute." Xia Zheng stood up and handed Ruanruan over. "I heard that Second Miss hasn't held Ruanruan yet today. Don't you want to hold her for a while?"
"Can I...can I?" Looking at the little person, Gu Yingxin was a little excited and a little timid.
"There's no one else here, it's fine."
Xia Zheng brought Ruanruan to Gu Yingxin's arms. She instinctively wrapped her arms around her, but they were too stiff. Ruanruan twisted uncomfortably a few times, and her face turned pale with fear. "She...she..."
"Relax, just hold it with this hand." Xia Zheng guided Gu Yingxin's hand to hold her soft back and buttocks, and immediately she curled up the corners of her lips in comfort.
"Laugh! Laugh!"
Gu Yingxin shouted excitedly, but when she saw Ruanruan was startled, she quickly stopped talking. However, holding this little person, feeling its warmth and softness, Gu Yingxin felt like her heart was melting.
This is her niece!
Little niece!
She became an aunt!
"I don't have time to prepare other dishes, and they won't keep well. These pastries were just made by me yesterday, so they can keep for a while. Second Miss, take them back to the palace. When you're done, have someone send a letter back, and I'll make more for you."
Seeing Xia Zheng opening the food box, which was filled with seven or eight kinds of pastries, Gu Yingxin began to drool.
She swallowed it down and pretended to be reluctant. "Since you have packed it, I will take it back with me. For the sake of food, I will protect you and Ruanruan in the future. If anyone bullies you, just send someone to the palace to tell me and I will deal with them."
"Yes, yes, from now on, my concubine and I will rely on the Second Young Lady."
After holding each other for a while, Yueya urged Gu Yingxin to go back to the palace. She reluctantly sent Ruanruan back to Xia Zheng and got on the carriage back to the palace with the food box.
I couldn't bear to eat the delicious food along the way because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to stop eating it and would finish it all.
After all, she was told to send a letter out of the palace after the meal, but her mother was watching her, so she couldn't write a letter asking for food to be sent in for such a small matter.
Even if I write it, the letter won't be delivered to your house.
So, she has to eat sparingly.
The next time she returns home, she will bring a big box and ask Xia Zheng to fill it with food!
Just as he was thinking about it, the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate.
Cars were not allowed to run in the palace, so Gu Yingxin had to get off the car and take a warm sedan chair.
But before I even sat down, I heard that annoying sound.
"I don't care whether you are from Concubine De's palace or Concubine Life's palace. Now, this prince wants you to lick the mud off his shoes."
De imperial concubine?
Hearing this, Gu Yingxin took two steps forward curiously and looked over.
Seeing Prince Mu stretching his legs to stop a palace maid, although it was dark, Gu Yingxin recognized her as the deceitful palace maid, Xia Jin, based on her figure and straight back.
How could she have provoked Prince Mu, the devil?
It was difficult to have children in the palace, so the empress dowager took the initiative to summon a group of children to accompany the princess to study. However, none of them were with the empress dowager, so she found a little nephew to raise with her.
Prince Mu is the nephew of the Queen Mother.
He lived in the Cining Palace and studied at the prince's school. Since there were no other little princes in the palace except him, he often played tricks on the princesses and their companions, which was very annoying.
Although Prince Mu is a scoundrel, he never bullies the palace maids. Why is he so relentless towards Xia Jin today?
