Chapter 124 She seduced Gu Yizhi with a bowl of chicken soup
March 12th, Grain Rain.
In accordance with the solar terms, the drizzle started falling in the morning.
All three sedans were soaked, and the newlyweds inside had to wade through the water with their shoes wet to enter the bridal chamber.
Even though their shoes and socks were soaked, everyone was happy because they were the first people to enter the door. Even if they had the same status in the future, they would still be superior to those who came later.
What they want to fight for is whose house Gu Yizi will stay in today.
Therefore, each of them sent people to wait on the road that Gu Yizi had to take to return home. Although they did not speak, the smoke of war was everywhere among them, and they were all rubbing their hands, waiting to drag the man into their master's house.
After waiting for a long time, finally, the long-awaited figure appeared in everyone's sight.
Looking at those pairs of eyes that were staring at this side with green light, Changfeng, who was holding an umbrella for Gu Yizi, felt his hair stand on end.
These are not newcomers at all; they are clearly jackals, waiting to bite out his young master and tear his bones into their stomachs.
But when he looked at Gu Yizi, he was still calm and composed, as if these people were not in front of him.
But this matter cannot be ignored. People from the three rooms are waiting here. As long as it is not a major matter, Gu Yizi will have to choose someone.
These three people all come from families of civil officials, and choosing any one of them may result in the loss of the other two.
You can't choose not to do it.
Changfeng felt that being the prince of his family was not easy. He had to weigh the pros and cons of everything, and even this matter was beyond his control.
Just as Gu Yizi was about to walk up to the few people and those who were ready to take action were about to speak, Changfeng suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Frost came over quickly holding an umbrella and carrying a food box.
Everyone noticed this movement. The people from the three rooms had already inquired about the people in Yinlin Courtyard, so they naturally recognized Shuangjiang.
Each exchange of glances was filled with ridicule.
"Why are you here?" Changfeng stepped forward and asked to stop him.
After all, if Xia Zheng couldn't figure it out at this time and was humiliated, that would not be a good thing.
Frost glanced at Changfeng and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Did your aunt ask you to come?" Gu Yizi asked indifferently.
Faced with Gu Yizi's question, even though Shuangjiang was embarrassed, she could only bow and answer truthfully, "Yes, my aunt felt much better yesterday. She said...that the young lady had tired the prince out these days, so she made a ginseng and chicken soup for him to nourish him. However...simmering it over a low heat takes time, so it's just time to cook it out."
By the end, the sound of frost was so faint that it sounded like a mosquito.
The people in the other three rooms also snorted in disdain.
No soup is good if it is consumed early or late, but it is good at this time. Even a blind person can see that he is here to win favor.
But this method is really funny and straightforward.
As expected, a maid is a maid. No matter how high her status is, she is still a maid. She has no brains at all. She has only a pretty face but is nothing more than an embroidered pillow.
Everyone was waiting for this stupid aunt to be embarrassed.
Gu Yizi gestured to Changfeng to take the lunch box. Kanshuang lowered her head. Although Changfeng was reluctant, he could not disobey Gu Yizi in public, so he could only take the lunch box and open the lid.
"Aunt Xia's cooking skills are as good as usual." Smelling the fragrance, Changfeng spoke for Xia Zheng, hoping that Gu Yizi would remember the past and not embarrass Xia Zheng too much even if she did something stupid.
Gu Yizi glanced at Changfeng. Knowing that he had been seen through, Changfeng's back stiffened and he didn't dare to say another word.
During the Frost Descent, the head becomes even lower.
She didn't understand. Her aunt was so smart on weekdays. Yesterday, she said she wanted to make soup for the prince. She thought that once her aunt got better, she could make the soup and invite the prince to come at night. Then those people would not dare to look down on her aunt anymore.
After all, during the few days when the aunt was sick, even if those people only made things difficult for her in secret, Shuangjiang also understood that the aunt's life was still difficult, and she would definitely be sad without the prince's favor.
So he didn't care about whether he was happy or not. After all, the most important thing was to live well in the mansion.
But she didn't expect that her aunt said at night that the soup still needed to be stewed, and she kept stewing it until the prince came back before she said it was ready and asked her to send it over immediately.
This clearly meant that she was going to compete head-on with the three new arrivals. Everyone tried to dissuade her, but the concubine insisted on having her own way, and even Madam Liang couldn't stop her, so she had no choice but to send her over.
Well, even if the aunt falls out of favor in the future, she will definitely protect the aunt and the young lady!
"It smells really good. Now that she's recovered, I'll go see her and drink this soup with her." Gu Yizi took the food box from Changfeng, closed the lid, and walked towards Yinlin Courtyard.
No one reacted and stared blankly at Gu Yizi's back.
Gu Yizi just left like that?
With such a clumsy method and such an obvious motive, Gu Yizi didn't blame him for being jealous and vying for favor, but instead abandoned the other three new members and left?
Frost and Changfeng were also stunned.
After looking at each other, they reacted and hurriedly followed.
Watching Gu Yizi walk away, the others did not dare to go up and stop him. After looking at each other, they hurried to their new houses to report.
While the news that Xia Zheng seduced Gu Yizi away with a bowl of chicken soup was spreading, Gu Yizi stepped into the door of Yinlin Courtyard.
Everyone was surprised to see Gu Yizi coming.
But no one dared to ask more questions. They just quickly left the house and the inner courtyard to make room for their masters. In the end, only Shuangjiang and Changfeng were left guarding the inner courtyard.
Seeing Gu Yizi coming in, Xia Zheng put down the sachet she was making and stood up to ask, "Why is the prince here?"
Gu Yizi raised the lunch box in his hand and asked, "Why am I here? Do you still need to ask me?"
Xia Zheng smiled knowingly, stood up, took the food box and placed it on the table. She looked up at him and said playfully, "I just asked Shuangjiang to bring some nourishing soup to the prince. I didn't invite him to come, so why didn't I ask?"
"Still pretending?" Gu Yizi put his arm around Xia Zheng's waist, his eyes looking down sharply.
Xia Zheng fearlessly stretched out her hand and hooked it around Gu Yizi's neck, "It was the prince who pretended first. I was clearly helping the prince solve his problems and was willing to be the bad guy, yet the prince still came to question me."
Gu Yizi pecked her lips lightly and said, "Okay, you are considerate. I'll give you credit for that."
Letting go of Xia Zheng, Gu Yizi sat on the couch in a good mood.
Xia Zheng opened the lunch box, took out the perfectly warm soup bowl, opened the lid, put in a spoon, and placed it on the low table. "Prince, please try it. It really has been simmering over low heat since yesterday."
"Did you think of this yesterday?" Gu Yizi picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful into his mouth. It was indeed delicious.
"I'm very smart. I thought of it as soon as the Crown Princess said it." Xia Zheng told the truth without hiding anything.
She did have some guesses after Tao Yurong mentioned this.
Although Gu Yizi agreed to let those people enter the house, they had no connection with her now, and she had an innate advantage.
Although she didn't know who was who among the eight girls, she looked very similar in appearance, and presumably their family backgrounds were similar. During the two days after her illness, she had Yang Xun secretly inquire about some of the eight girls' families. While some had civil and some military backgrounds, and their official positions varied, their overall backgrounds were similar.
Now everyone can see clearly that this is the help from all parties that *** is looking for for Gu Yizi. Gu Yizi accepts it to strengthen himself and deepen his relationship with it.
Xia Zheng couldn't think too much about what *** and Gu Yizi were going to do, but she knew that such a balanced situation would be broken as long as someone gained favor.
Because, she guessed that Gu Yizi probably didn't want to break it.
Of course, there will be unexpected events, after all, she doesn't understand gambling.
So she had no choice but to try.
