Soft and crispy waist

Chapter 110 Soft Full Moon Banquet

Time flies, and seven days are gone in the blink of an eye.

Ruanruan welcomed the full moon.

As soon as she opened her eyes in the morning, seven or eight people were busy dressing her up.

She wore a red velvet brocade jacket with fur trim, jade-inlaid cotton shoes of the same color, a tiger-head hat, and a pure gold necklace and peace lock hanging on her chest.

He didn't cry or make a fuss when being held around, but just looked around with his two big round eyes, as if he was very curious.

When he got close to Xia Zheng, perhaps because he could see her clearly or identify her scent, he immediately smiled so hard that his eyebrows were invisible, revealing two rows of pink gums. Then he started babbling, as if he wanted to say something to Xia Zheng.

"Don't worry, you'll be able to speak when you grow up." Xia Zheng said with a smile, reaching out to hug Tuantuan, sitting in front of the dressing table and gently combing her exposed hair with a comb, implying that her mother is always thinking of her.

He also took a velvet flower and pinned it on the tiger-head hat, symbolizing wealth and glory.

Finally, Xia Zheng took out the small silver locket given by Tuan'er from the brocade box, put it around Ruan'er's neck, hid it inside, and handed it to Nanny Liang.

"I'll trouble you today, Madam."

"Don't worry, Auntie. This old servant and Shuangjiang will always be by the young lady's side."

Xia Zheng was still relieved about Nanny Liang, and besides, Tao Yurong would not do anything to Ruanruan.

After seeing Ruanruan off, Yinlin Courtyard suddenly became quiet.

With Ruanruan around during this period, the yard was always bustling. But now it suddenly became deserted. Xia Zheng suddenly felt a sense of loss, as if she had woken up from a dream.

Until a cup of steaming five-color tea was placed on the dressing table in front of her.

Xia Zheng turned around and saw Shuangxue, and smiled faintly, "I'm sorry that you have to stay here with me today and can't go to the front yard to join in the fun."

"This servant doesn't like crowds."

Still icy cold.

But after spending so many days together, Xia Zheng already knew that this was Shuangxue's personality.

At first, she thought that she had other thoughts about Gu Yizi, so she was so cold and distant to her. But since Gu Yizi came back, she found that even when Gu Yizi was there, Shuangxue was still the same, without any change.

Treating Gu Yizi differently is more like treating a benefactor.

Her coldness and aloofness were probably innate. On the day of delivery, I think she had done her best to say a word of comfort in her ear.

And she was indeed doing her personal maid very attentively.

"If you don't like it, then we can both relax for a while. I saw someone sent Sichuan and red peppers from the kitchen today."

Pepper is a precious thing. One ounce of gold for one ounce of pepper, although it is a bit exaggerated, it is really rare. If it were not for the blessing of Ruanruan's full moon, Xia Zheng didn't know when she would be able to see it again.

She had been craving that hotpot for a long time.

"Auntie can't eat spicy food." Shuangxue refused coldly.

"I won't eat it. I'll make a clear soup pot. I'll put peppercorns in the pot to make it less spicy. I'll put red peppers in your bowl so you can dip it in and eat it. It's delicious. It's rare that no one is watching today, so let's just celebrate. Can you please satisfy me?"

With Madam Liang watching over her these days, the food she ate was so bland that it had no taste at all.

Frost Snow felt sorry for Xia Zheng and thought that her cooking skills were indeed good. She had tasted the red pepper once and quite liked the tingling sensation.

"My aunt only eats boiled food."

"I promise." Xia Zheng raised her finger and swore.

Only then did Shuangxue agree and go to get the pot and prepare the ingredients.

Although it's hard to describe the details, Xia Zheng is not picky now.

Put the stove on, put the pot on, pour water to boil the soup, and then wait for the bone soup to be boiled out, then add the vegetables into it and enjoy the delicious taste.

On the other side, the chubby and strong Ruanruan was also carried to Changhuan Courtyard in the front yard.

Men and women sat at tables along the canal, while the head of the Zhenguo Mansion sat in the pavilion where the two banks met. Ruoruan was held up so that everyone could see him and exclaimed at how adorable he was.

The ladies who were on good terms with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion all gathered around to watch. Tao Yurong accompanied them, while Nanny Liang stood behind them holding the child, keeping a certain distance from the newcomers.

Ruanruan was not afraid of the crowd at all. She used her little hands to push aside the quilt on her head and poked out her little head, which made all the ladies so cute that they cried out softly.

"She's truly worthy of being the Crown Prince's daughter. She's so brave and not afraid of strangers at all. Look, she's staring at me as I speak. Is she trying to warn me not to say anything bad about her?"

"Of course it is. The young lady is very clever."

"She's pretty too, with those big eyes and that high nose bridge. She's bound to be a great beauty in the future. I wonder which kid will be so lucky."

"Every kid has to pass the test of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. This is their eldest daughter, and she must be the apple of their eye."

"Madam Zhang, you are talking too far ahead. Our Zi'er is only one month old." Tao Yurong did not deny what Madam Zhang said that Ruanruan was her and Gu Yizi's eldest daughter.

The other ladies were all smart people, so they naturally understood the meaning and agreed with it.

"That's not far off. This child is growing up so fast. If there's a good one, it wouldn't be bad to arrange a marriage for him."

"That's right. The Crown Princess is a new mother and doesn't know anything yet. This girl is the one I worry about the most. From childhood to adulthood, I have to plan and pave the way for her."

"Then I will have to ask for your advice from you ladies in the future."

Everyone was talking and laughing, but no one mentioned Xia Zheng, the biological mother, as if Ruanruan was born to Tao Yurong.

"His Royal Highness has arrived."

At the sound of a loud chant, everyone immediately dispersed and saluted.

*** walked to the first seat on the dais during the ceremony and then said calmly, "It's a great day, no need for formalities."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Everyone stood up and sat down, and Nanny Liang also came to ***'s side, holding Ruanruan.

Since the full-month banquet was held according to the specifications for the eldest daughter, according to the rules, the mother-in-law had to personally hold the child and present the full-month gift.

Therefore, even though *** looked down on her, he still reached out and hugged Ruanruan.

As soon as she was in ***'s arms, Ruanruan stared at her with her eyes wide open without blinking. *** whispered impatiently, "Close it."

As if she understood what was said, she suddenly closed her eyes.

*** was startled, and the annoyance in her eyes faded a little. She took the golden plate engraved with the four big words "good luck and good fortune" that had been prepared long ago from Nanny Qin's hand and hung it on Ruanruan's chest. She said "grow up safely" and handed it back to Nanny Liang.

"It's time to come to me." Princess Yi waved impatiently.

Nanny Liang brought Ruanruan over and held the little girl in her arms. Princess Yi's eyes were almost filled with love as she held her little hands and touched them again and again.

"You should eat more and gain weight, so you can be healthy." Princess Yi put a pair of gold bracelets inlaid with five stones and ten treasures on her soft hands. "When you grow up, your aunt will give you bigger and better ones."

After hearing this, Ruanruan shook her hands happily, and the two bracelets made a jingling sound, which mixed with her laughter and made everyone in the room laugh.

"Aunt is here! It's my turn. I've been waiting for a long time." Gu Yingxin, who had been staring at them, stood up anxiously.

She had wanted to visit Ruanruan for a long time, but because she was Xia Zheng's daughter and not a legitimate child, her mother did not allow her to leave the palace to visit her. She had finally waited until today and was extremely anxious.

"You are not even married yet, how can you have a child?" ***'s words interrupted Gu Yingxin's thoughts.

She wanted to refute, but facing her mother, Gu Yingxin could only sit back down with a pout.

As Ruanruan was held by Nanny Liang again and stood behind Tao Yurong, the banquet began and fine wine and delicious food were served.

But Gu Yingxin lost her appetite after seeing it, so she left on the pretext of changing clothes.

Everyone's attention was drawn to Gu Yingxin, and they didn't notice that in the woods outside the pavilion, Wei Qingqing, who had already finished her confinement, was standing under a tree, staring at the soft thing in Nanny Liang's hands.
