Soft and crispy waist

Chapter 119: In order for her to see her mother up close

Just as I was about to excitedly walk closer to take a look at the things on the stalls, I heard two voices beside me.

All of a sudden, it was like a basin of well water was poured down, extinguishing the enthusiasm.

Yes, Gu Yizi is not an ordinary person, he is the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, and the most popular person in the capital. The person who can take him out and walk hand in hand with him should be the main wife, not a concubine like her.

She hadn't thought of that in her excitement.

Gu Yizi might have acted on impulse, but if someone said that it was inappropriate to bring her along, then maybe...

"Don't worry about it. You are wearing a veil and no one will know who you are." Xia Zheng was thinking that it would be better to propose it herself to save Gu Yizi from embarrassment and also to gain the reputation of being well-behaved and sensible. As a result, Gu Yizi's voice rang in her ears first.

Is this why he wears a veil on himself?

Xia Zheng turned to look at him in shock. Through the veil, she couldn't see clearly, but she could clearly feel the tenderness in Gu Yizi's eyes.

"What about the prince?" He was not wearing a veil.

"To men, it's just a romantic story."

Men in the world do have few restrictions in this regard, but for others, it is not so for Gu Yizi now...

"It's rare to go out, so don't worry." Gu Yizi pulled Xia Zheng forward.

He took big steps, and suddenly, Xia Zheng was pulled into a few jogs. The breeze lifted a corner of the curtain, allowing her to see his broad back, which made her feel inexplicably at ease.

Yes, it’s a rare opportunity to go out, so... don’t consider the consequences.

Without any psychological restraints, Xia Zheng became more and more relaxed as she walked. She looked at every stall one by one, and when she saw a stall selling children's clothes and toys, she couldn't move forward.

I compared two cloth tigers with different forehead patterns, but couldn't decide which one to buy.

"If you can't make a choice, why not ask your husband?" The vendor suggested seeing that Xia Zheng was having trouble making a decision.

"I'm not a husband..."

"I want both." Gu Yizi took out the silver and put it on the table. He then threw the two cloth tigers in Xia Zheng's hand to Changfeng, who was following behind with a lot of things in his arms. He then took Xia Zheng's hand again and continued forward.

"I am not your wife, why doesn't your Highness allow me to speak?"

"Why should I explain this to someone I don't know?" Gu Yizi asked back.

Why?

Isn't this to avoid misunderstandings from others?

Also, avoid letting him think that you have any restless thoughts.

But it seems that Gu Yizi is not unhappy about this. On the contrary... he seems to be somewhat indulged and happy.

why?

"I'm hungry, let's go eat something."

Just when Xia Zheng was confused, Gu Yizi suddenly changed the subject. Before Xia Zheng could react, he pulled her forward again.

Perhaps because it was near noon, there were a lot of people around the food stalls, especially one place, which was completely surrounded by people, and you couldn't see what was inside.

And Gu Yizi's target was actually this place.

With one hand he held her, and with the other he pushed through the crowd and led her inside.

He looked down and saw that Gu Yizi's gorgeous clothes were all wrinkled by the squeeze, and was just about to say that they could just eat something from a smaller family to make do with the meal.

"Don't push! Don't rush! Come one by one, and be careful not to get hurt."

Before she could open her mouth, Xia Zheng heard the voice she had been thinking about day and night.

He suddenly raised his head and looked through the gap between the heads. The middle-aged woman standing in front of the stove, wearing an apron and a headscarf to tie her hair, was no one else but his mother!

And on the banner above his head were written four words: Lao Yang Food Shop.

At the beginning, she asked Gu Yizi to help her mother escape from slavery in the Marquis' Mansion and find a place for her mother to live in the capital, but she didn't expect that she would end up settling her mother in the Yang family.

Some time ago, I was afraid that Tao Yurong would find out, so I didn't contact the Yang family. Later, we fell out, and I had to be careful that Tao Yurong could use this as a handle, so I didn't know that my mother was in the Yang family.

It seems that my mother is getting along very well with the Yang family now. She has even become the head chef, making her signature Yangchun noodles. She looks rosy, and it is obvious that she is living a comfortable life these days.

Unlike his previous life, he was pale and endured the pain of losing his daughter, holding the deceased Tuan'er and kneeling down to plead for her.

Unfortunately, she can't call her mother now.

I could only bite my lips tightly to prevent myself from making any sound.

"Two bowls of plain noodles." Gu Yizi stepped forward and reported.

"Okay..." Madam Tian was about to respond when she saw Xia Zheng, wearing a veil, paused for a moment. Then, looking at the two of them holding hands tightly, she continued, "Okay, there's a seat available. Would you like to sit down and eat or take away?"

"Since there is a seat, just sit down and eat." Gu Yizi pulled Xia Zheng to sit at the low table next to the stall, and asked Changfeng to get two plates of snacks from Brother Yang's table.

Xia Zheng sat on a stool, staring straight at Mrs. Tian who was busy at the stove through the gauze of her veil.

Gu Yizi held her hand and tapped the back of her hand with his fingers, reminding her in a low voice: "If you keep staring at me like this, even with a veil on, your gaze will be noticed."

Seeing that Mrs. Tian had turned to look at her, Xia Zheng immediately lowered her eyes in panic.

"Two bowls of plain noodles are here." Madam Tian brought two bowls of noodles and placed them in front of Xia Zheng and Gu Yizi respectively. When she leaned over to serve the noodles, Xia Zheng lowered her head even more.

Mrs. Tian didn't seem to notice anything different. After putting it down, she went back to the stove and continued working.

"Eat." Gu Yizi handed the chopsticks to Xia Zheng.

Xia Zheng took the chopsticks, lifted a corner of her veil, picked up some noodles and put them into her mouth.

Tasting the flavor she hadn't tasted for a long time, tears fell silently from Xia Zheng's eyes. She didn't put down her chopsticks until she had finished the whole bowl of noodles and the soup.

"How do you two feel after eating? Is there any way to improve the taste?" Brother Yang walked up and asked enthusiastically.

"Very good." Gu Yizi put down the silver and pulled Xia Zheng away.

Brother Yang picked up the silver and walked back, saying to Sister Yang, "Such a handsome young man, I wonder what the lady in the veil looks like, and whether they are a good match."

"The man is talented and the woman is beautiful, they are definitely a perfect match." The busy Mrs. Tian added a sentence, which startled Brother Yang.

Mrs. Tian has been here for more than a month. She has always been taciturn and focused on her work. She never says a word about other people's affairs. It is really rare that she speaks today.

"Yes, yes, that's for sure. She wears a veil because she doesn't want others to see it. Didn't you see how tightly the young man held her hands, as if he was afraid of losing his job?" Mrs. Yang, who didn't notice, was cleaning up the dishes while recalling the scene and joking with a smile.

No one noticed that two tears fell from Madam Tian's eyes when she turned around. She felt relieved as she watched the two figures walking away from her.

"Thank you, Prince." When they reached a place with fewer people, Xia Zheng bowed her head and thanked him softly.

She originally thought that Gu Yizi asked her to wear a veil hat to avoid being seen and causing trouble, but when she saw her mother, she understood. He brought her to the Spring Market and asked her to wear a veil hat so that she could see her mother up close.

"It's just buying some food and eating a bowl of noodles, it's worth your thanks."

"Your Highness, there is no need to treat me like this for a concubine." He should not have been so attentive to her. After all, she was just a concubine. Could it be that this was a reward just because she gave birth to Ruanruan?

"Indeed, how do you plan to repay me?" Gu Yizi, who was walking in front of the carriage, suddenly stopped and turned around to ask.

repay?

Xia Zheng hasn't thought about it yet.

Meeting Gu Yizhi's smiling eyes, her face felt a little hot under her veil. She looked out awkwardly at the long, bustling street outside and said in a weak voice, "It's still broad daylight, and there are people everywhere."

"What's in your head? You think about these things all day long." Gu Yizi pointed at Xia Zheng's veil.

Realizing that she had misunderstood, Xia Zheng's face turned red with embarrassment.

Although covered by a veil, the restrained posture still amused Gu Yizi. He raised his eyebrows proudly and said as he got on the carriage, "Go back and cook a delicious meal to repay this prince."
