Soft and crispy waist

Chapter 118 Gu Yizhi came at the wrong time

The third day of March.

Xia Zheng finally completed the full 42 days of confinement under the strict supervision of Nanny Liang.

At first she thought that the confinement period was just a matter of having less freedom, which was no big deal. But as time went on, it became really unbearable to stay in the house.

Now that she was finally free, she asked Chef Yang and Shuangxue to boil water in the kitchen and the bathroom early this morning so that she could wash herself thoroughly inside and out.

After washing, she felt a lot lighter all over. Taking advantage of the good weather, she lay down on the bamboo rocking chair under the big banyan tree with her long hair cascading, letting the warm sunshine dry her hair.

With her eyes closed, feeling the breeze and the breath of spring, Xia Zheng unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth.

so good.

Suddenly, I felt something scratching my face.

Xia Zheng raised her hand and waved it away, "Shuangjiang, stop hugging Ruanruan and making a fuss."

Frost didn't listen and scratched his other cheek.

"Okay, stop making trouble..." Xia Zheng snatched the thing away, opened her eyes and was about to teach Shuangjiang a lesson, but when she saw the person in front of her, the rest of her words were stuck.

The person in front of me has eyebrows like sharp swords, eyes full of affection, a face like a crown of jade, and a face as clear as autumn water. Some of his hair fell because he lowered his head and swayed in the wind, softening his sharp outline and making him look more elegant.

The exiled immortals from heaven are no more than this.

"What? Don't you recognize me?"

Xia Zheng then came to her senses and realized that it was Gu Yizi.

I hadn't seen him for so many days that I couldn't react for a moment. I just thought... he looked good.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I haven't seen you for a long time. I was so excited that I thought I was dreaming." Xia Zheng said as she wanted to stand up and salute.

Gu Yizi first reached out and pressed her shoulders, then leaned closer and asked, "Oh? Have you dreamed about me recently?"

That's not the case.

Xia Zheng hadn't seen Gu Yizi for a long time, and suddenly she couldn't think of how to behave. She was so anxious that she had to lower her head and said, "I just didn't expect the prince to come. Shouldn't he be on duty at this time?"

Seeing her ears flushed, Gu Yizhi deliberately moved closer. "It's a day off today, and you don't even remember this?"

Is the holiday today?

How could Xia Zheng not remember it?

But she couldn't refute Gu Yizhi, so she could only vaguely say, "I've been staying in the house all day, never seeing the sun, so I can't remember much."

"Then you haven't forgotten these little tricks."

Flowers?

Xia Zheng looked up in confusion, watching Gu Yizi's gaze moving all the way down. As she followed his gaze, she realized that she was only wearing a thin nightgown with her outer shirt still open. The silk cloth underneath stuck to her body, leaving her figure completely exposed.

"I just finished bathing, it's not intentional." Xia Zheng hurriedly pulled her coat tighter, not daring to look at Gu Yizi.

She originally thought that her hair was not dry yet, her pajamas were thin and would dry quickly if they got wet, and there were no men in the yard, and someone was guarding outside the door, so she just lay there.

As for seducing Gu Yizi, she had plans, but not now.

She didn't expect Gu Yizi to come at this time. She planned to wait until her hair was dry and then change into new clothes and dress up properly, waiting for Gu Yizi to come.

Now she felt that Gu Yizi came at the wrong time and she hadn't even packed yet.

"That's great, go pack up and get ready to go."

"Leaving?" Xia Zheng was puzzled. "Where to?"

"There's a Spring Festival fair today. Don't you think you've been staying in the house all day without seeing the sun? Now that you're out of confinement, don't you want to go out for a walk?" There was temptation in Gu Yizi's voice.

How could she not want to go out?

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had left the house. After her death in her previous life, her soul was trapped in the Marquis' Mansion. In this life, she had left the mansion twice and had followed Tao Yurong to Prince Yi's Mansion and the Holy Mother Temple. She had never had the leisure to stroll around properly.

She had only heard of the Shangchun Market, a market held in Kyoto in March when the spring was warm and the flowers were in full bloom. On the long street lined with peach and pear trees on both sides, countless small stalls and the blooming pink peaches and white pears complemented each other, making it extremely lively.

Gu Yizi was willing to take her there, but it was an opportunity that could not be sought after.

In an instant, Xia Zheng was so excited that she forgot all about etiquette and pushed Gu Yizi away. She lifted up the hem of her skirt and ran inside, shouting anxiously, "Prince, please wait a moment. I will be there soon."

Seeing that she was as happy as a child, Gu Yizi felt that she was really easy to coax. She could be so happy in a market.

With a curled lip, she sat on the rocking chair she had sat on before. Gu Yizi also imitated her and rocked the chair, closing his eyes.

"Sir, I am fine."

A crisp voice came from behind, and Gu Yizi opened his eyes and looked back.

Xia Zheng was wearing a light blue skirt and her long hair was simply tied up with the lotus flower jade hairpin he had given her before. She had no other accessories.

The breeze blew gently, ruffling the strands of hair and the hem of her skirt, swaying like a lotus flower, which stunned Gu Yizi.

"Prince?" Xia Zheng called out again in confusion.

Gu Yizi finally came back to his senses, cleared his throat, stood up and walked out, saying, "Let's go."

Xia Zheng hurriedly followed, left the house, and got on the carriage.

The market was not far from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. After crossing two streets, Xia Zheng could already hear the bustling sounds coming from afar.

I lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out. The sun was shining everywhere, the grass was lush and the birds were singing. Countless people were coming and going, and the surrounding shops were also crowded with people.

The hustle and bustle made Xia Zheng feel dazed and wonder if she was dreaming.

I even pinched my leg lightly; it really hurt.

Compared to Xia Zheng who was looking around with eyes wide open excitedly as if she had never seen the world before, Gu Yizi just sat upright and sipped the tea in his hand, but his eyes were always watching Xia Zheng, and the corners of his mouth hidden by the teacup were always upwards.

As we went further in, the crowds became denser and denser, and the carriage began to have difficulty moving forward. Changfeng, who was driving, turned around and knocked on the door and asked, "Prince, it will be difficult to get out if we go in further. Do you want to get off here?"

"Find a place to park that's not blocking the road."

Changfeng parked the car in an alley and opened the door.

Seeing Gu Yizi stand up and walk out, Xia Zheng immediately followed.

But before she stepped out of the car, a veil was stuffed in front of her. She looked up and saw that it was Gu Yizi who handed it to her.

She originally thought that since she came with Gu Yizi this time and was no longer an unmarried girl, she should not need to bring a veil, so she did not bring one. However, she did not expect that Gu Yizi had prepared one.

It seems I still have to wear it.

She took the veil and put it on without resistance, then got off the carriage with Gu Yizi's help.

After landing, she was about to pull her hand out of Gu Yizi's hand, but as soon as she moved, Gu Yizi's hand quickly tightened and grabbed her.

“There are so many people, it’s easy to get separated.”

Looking at the dark crowd in front, Xia Zheng nodded obediently and let Gu Yizi lead her forward.

Entering the long street, there were endless stalls lined up on both sides, selling food, clothing, daily necessities, and various toys. Xia Zheng felt that she could not see them all with just one eye.

"Is that Prince Gu?"

"Yeah, who is the woman he is holding? She doesn't look like the Crown Prince's Consort."
