Soft and crispy waist

Chapter 117: Desire comes from love

After kneeling in the ancestral hall for five days, Wei Qingqing was brought back to Huiyue Pavilion. Nanny Wang, who was beside her, was taken back to the Wei family by Madam Wei who had regained consciousness that same day. Gu Yizi also sent two other Nannies to take care of Wei Qingqing, ostensibly to take care of her, but actually to supervise her and prevent her from committing suicide.

The gate of the compound where Huiyue Pavilion is located is locked and cannot be opened without permission.

At this point, the only place Wei Qingqing could move around was that large courtyard, which was isolated from the outside world.

"Although Concubine Wei was cruel and nearly harmed you and Ruanruan, it's hard not to sigh at her end. I still remember the first time I saw her when I first entered the mansion. She was so arrogant, like a proud golden pheasant, always looking at people with her chin raised. Now she is locked in a cage, without making a single sound. I walked by yesterday, and the courtyard was eerily quiet."

When Chunzhi thought of that yard, her hair stood on end.

"Peacock is more suitable for her." Holding the soft Xia Zheng, he teased her soft little hands and said softly.

"Peacock?" Chunzhi had never seen one and couldn't imagine it.

"I haven't seen one either. I've only read about it in books. It's a noble bird with beautiful feathers and a long tail. It spreads its feathers to show off its beauty and outshine its peers."

Xia Zheng felt that Wei Qingqing was like a peacock. Although she was arrogant and ostentatious, she also had her own pride and would never bow her head.

"This is indeed more appropriate, but being noble is not a reason for her to do whatever she wants. I cannot sympathize with her. This is already a light punishment for her." Chunzhi stood firm in her position.

"Actually, she didn't really mean to harm us, at least not Ruanruan."

"She already held a knife against Ruanruan and threw her down from such a high place. If the prince hadn't caught her, it would have been the end. And you still say it's not true."

Xia Zheng looked at Chunzhi's indignation, smiled and asked, "You know it clearly."

"I must ask clearly about such a big matter."

"Then let me ask you, how long did it take from the time she knocked out Madam Liang and took Ruanruan away until we got there?"

"Half an hour." Shuangjiang told her vividly.

"If Concubine Wei wanted to take action, do you think half an hour would not be enough to kill a small baby?"

Chunzhi suddenly realized.

She never thought about that.

With such a long time, if one wants to kill someone, it would only take one strike and it would be a matter of a moment. There is no need to wait for people to arrive.

"But she still threw Ruanruan down."

"The Crown Prince is quite skilled in martial arts, and Concubine Wei is also a martial artist. Wouldn't she know that if it was thrown from such a height, the Crown Prince would definitely be able to catch it with his skills?"

Chunzhi was even more confused. "Then why did she do this?"

why?

Wei Qingqing wouldn't say it, and Xia Zheng couldn't be so sure that her guess was correct.

But thinking back on everything afterwards, she felt that Wei Qingqing was venting and seeking death.

The reason why she entered the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion must be that the Wei family had done something to make Gu Yizi agree to it. Firstly, she liked Gu Yizi, and secondly, she was holding her breath because of this and had to sit in the position of the main wife, or become the nominal wife.

The child was gone, her body was damaged, and all her hopes were shattered. In addition, there was Ruanruan as a contrast. Tao Yurong took advantage of the fact that she was in confinement and Gu Yizi could not see her and find it difficult to discover her, and deliberately humiliated her and angered her.

Her pride wouldn't allow her to live like this.

That's why she did this, bringing everyone here to vent all her grievances, unwillingness, anger, and finally, seeking death.

That was why Gu Yizi did not punish Wei Qingqing severely.

Tao Yurong looked down on Wei Qingqing's pride.

He thought that as long as he could direct her anger towards himself, he could rest easy.

Wei Qingqing succeeded, and everyone was happy, killing three birds with one stone;

If it fails, Wei Qingqing will be punished or even divorced.

Unexpectedly, Wei Qingqing was even crazier than she had imagined. She took Ruanruan away and did this, which made her shoot herself in the foot.

"Who knows?" Xia Zheng shook her head and did not elaborate.

"Forget it, regardless of that, without Concubine Wei, you can live a peaceful life."

"Yes." At least they can have peace for a while. As long as Gu Yizi doesn't leave Beijing, Tao Yurong will have to behave herself.

Such a good day must not be wasted.

"By the way! Will you be able to leave the confinement period in a few days?"

"In seven days, it will come out."

"Doesn't that mean the prince is coming again? Time flies so fast. I have to come every day for the next seven days. After that, I can't come when the prince comes."

Seeing Chunzhi's face wrinkled with pity, Xia Zheng and Ruanruan both laughed.

"Ah Qiu~"

On the long steps outside the Golden Palace, Gu Yizi sneezed, scaring the officials nearby so much that they trembled all over. They exchanged glances with each other, wondering if they had done something wrong and offended the eldest prince.

Qin Yang, however, ran up and put his arm around Gu Yizi's shoulder, jokingly saying, "Look, this is the power of our Living King of Hell. With just one sneeze, all the civil and military officials are trembling with fear."

Gu Yizi gave him a cold look, pushed his hand away and continued forward.

"Why has your temper become more and more weird recently? Who provoked you?" Qin Yang asked confusedly.

Although Gu Yizi looked no different from usual these days, there was always a hint of hostility in him. He was okay with others, but he became more and more impatient with him and didn't even bother to pay attention to him.

Seeing that he still didn't respond, Qin Yang thought for a moment and guessed, "Is it because of the banquet that *** entertained the noble ladies of the aristocratic families these past two days?"

"Since you are so concerned about this matter, I can ask Mother to invite the wife of the Earl of Yongning to come along next time."

Gu Yizi's words frightened Qin Yang so much that his face turned pale. He quickly refused: "No! No! I don't care anymore. Please do as you please. I have something else to do, so I'll go first."

Qin Yang slipped away as if escaping, but Gu Yizi's depressed mood did not ease.

Ever since that day when Xia Zheng ran to Huiyue Pavilion in the rain, although he followed the rules of the confinement period and did not look at her face, his figure was unavoidable.

Wet by the rain, the thin clothes stuck to her, revealing her curves. She was a little fuller than before, but full in all the right places.

Although she was born soft, her waist was so slender that it seemed that he couldn't even lift a palm.

The trembling makes people feel pity and has a unique charm.

He was in a hurry at the time and didn't think much about it, but after it was over, those images kept lingering in his mind and were hard to get rid of.

Especially at night, I have to change my trousers almost every morning.

He is not a teenager anymore, yet...

He had not been keen on this matter in the past, but after those two times with Xia Zheng, he seemed to have become addicted to it, finding it difficult to control himself, which was very annoying.

"You're lovesick!"

From the corner of the palace gate, there were sounds of laughter.

Looking over, I saw four or five young palace maids gathered in a corner. One of them blushed deeply and lowered her head, pouting coquettishly: "You're talking nonsense!"

"She's not talking nonsense. You think about that boy day and night, and you still have dreams about him. If this isn't lovesickness, what is it?"

"Oh! I... am so embarrassed." The blushing palace maid covered her face helplessly and squatted down.

"What's there to be ashamed of? Lust, lust, there is lust only when there is love. How could you possibly want to be with him if he's heartless..."

Before she could finish her words, the palace maid next to her pulled the hand of the person who was speaking. She turned around and saw Gu Yizi looking at her. After hurriedly bowing, she dragged the person squatting on the ground and ran away.

Gu Yizi was still standing there.

Is there desire only when there is love?

He has feelings for Xia Zheng, so...

Thinking about her day and night, what else could this be but a disease of longing?
