Chapter 93 Xie Jingchun also had a temper.
The eldest princess's mansion.
"Princess, the sour jujubes have been bought."
Chen Huaizhi strode in, a gentle smile on his face.
He handed the sour dates to the maid beside him, then stepped forward and embraced Gao Yunzhi's slender waist.
"Why did you take so long?" Gao Yunzhi asked, frowning.
I just went to buy some sour jujubes, why did it take so long?
She was worried that something might have happened to him.
Chen Huaizhi’s voice was gentle and pleasant, “I ran into the Minister and chatted for a while. I hope the princess won’t be angry.”
"I also want to come back to be with the princess as soon as possible, but the Minister is now my superior. Although I am the princess's husband, I cannot be too disrespectful to him."
Gao Yunzhi was initially quite dissatisfied, but her dissatisfaction quickly dissipated after his gentle explanation.
She nodded, having no doubts.
Chen Huaizhi is currently only a vice minister, so he naturally has to be more polite when he meets a minister.
She pursed her lips. In a few days, she would speak to the Emperor about promoting Chen Huaizhi.
“Huai Zhi…”
She raised her small face to look at Huaizhi, but before she could finish speaking, Chen Huaizhi interrupted her.
"Princess, I have some official business to attend to, so I'm afraid I can't stay with you any longer."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Gao Yunzhi's eyes; she wanted him to spend more time with her.
But in the end, she nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."
The prince consort is ambitious and wants to make a name for himself, so of course I can't stop him.
Watching Chen Huaizhi's departing figure, Gao Yunzhi suddenly thought of something, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
She thought she smelled perfume on Chen Huaizhi just now.
The idea exploded in her mind like a thunderclap.
But then she shook her head vigorously.
No, it's impossible.
Chen Huaizhi had promised her that he would only have her in his life, and that he would not take concubines or have any maids.
They've been married for three years, and he's always done this.
Gao Yunzhi sighed softly.
I was just being overthinking during my pregnancy, how could I possibly doubt the person next to me in bed?
She is currently pregnant and needs to take good care of herself, prioritizing a safe pregnancy.
I haven't played polo, which used to be my favorite game, in a long time.
These days, I can only stay indoors all day or take a walk in the yard, which is really boring.
No wonder I overthought things.
Gao Yunzhi frowned slightly; this couldn't go on.
She turned and instructed, "Tomorrow, send an invitation to the wife of the Xie family's heir for a gathering."
Perhaps it will be better if her little beauty keeps her company.
Evening, Qinglan Courtyard.
Xie Jingchun strode towards his room.
Suddenly I saw a little person sitting on the steps, his little face scrunched up.
Xie Jingchun raised an eyebrow. Wasn't this Xie Jue?
He strode forward and patted Xie Jue on the back of the head.
"What's wrong? Why are you standing here in a daze? What happened? Tell your older brother." He asked casually.
What could possibly happen to Xie Jue, a mere child?
It's nothing more than not getting to eat anything good for dinner, or worse, being scolded by the teacher.
Xie Jue turned her head, her usually smiling face now full of seriousness.
Upon seeing this, Xie Jingchun's originally upturned lips stiffened.
A bad premonition came over me.
Damn it, things don't seem to be that simple.
Xie Jue pouted, about to start crying, but was suddenly stopped by Xie Jingchun.
"Wait a minute, don't say anything yet, let's go find Mother."
No matter what happens, my mother always has a way.
"No, we can't go to Mother!" Xie Jue said immediately.
His eyes reddened at this moment, "This matter is related to my mother..."
Xie Jingchun pursed her lips tightly. "Let's go find Xie Jing now, and we'll talk about it later."
The matter seems serious and requires some thought; he probably can't handle it.
Let my second brother figure out a solution...
A moment later, inside Xie Jing's room.
"What is it? Speak," Xie Jing asked calmly.
Xie Jingchun sat in the chair, munching on an apple, and looked up at the little figure in the center.
Seeing that both of her older brothers were there, Xie Jue couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
"Waaaaah, something terrible has happened! Mother's angry!"
Is Mom angry?
"Impossible," Xie Jingchun said instinctively.
He had never seen his mother angry since she married into the Marquis's household.
Xie Jue sobbed, "I was angry, really angry. I heard it all from outside, I definitely didn't mishear."
Xie Jing said gently, "Third brother, don't cry yet. Tell me what you heard."
Xie Jue hiccuped, then said after a moment, "I heard my mother shout angrily, 'How dare he keep a mistress outside!'"
Then she looked up at Xie Jing and asked, "Second Brother, what does 'concubine' mean?"
Xie Jingchun chuckled and quickly said, "It means having a home outside."
He paused after speaking, then asked, "Who is this 'he' referring to?"
The room fell silent instantly, and the three of them stared at each other in disbelief.
Could it be referring to my father?
My father was keeping a mistress outside the marriage!
Xie Jue came out of Xie Jing's room and was greeted by Xie Yanli.
His little face was tense, and his round eyes were full of stubbornness.
Instead of rushing to Xie Yanli and acting coquettishly as usual, she pursed her lips tightly.
He squeezed out two words through gritted teeth: "Father."
He now knows that his father bullied his mother and made her so angry!
He will never smile at his father again! Humph!
Xie Jingchun was also angry, and when he saw him, he lowered his voice and called out, "Father."
After saying that, without waiting for Xie Yanli's reply, she turned around and walked towards her room.
Xie Yanli, who was inexplicably targeted by the two children: ...
Hmm? What happened?
The following day, at the Princess's residence.
Sunlight streamed through the carved window frames, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the floor of the inner room.
Gao Yunzhi and Qin Jiuwei sat facing each other, with the table next to them filled with exquisite hairpins.
"Try this." Gao Yunzhi picked up a gold hairpin inlaid with rubies and inserted it into her temple.
Gao Yunzhi's eyes lit up. "You look beautiful in this! The ruby is gorgeous and suits you perfectly!"
"Try this again."
As she spoke, Gao Yunzhi picked up a jade hairpin with intricate carvings and gently placed it in Qin Jiuwei's hair on the other side. She tilted her head to admire it, her eyes filled with satisfaction.
"You look good in this too!"
A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman; she looks good in any hairpin.
Dressing up a beautiful woman is even more fun!
Then, she picked up a silver hairpin adorned with pearls and eagerly inserted it into Qin Jiuwei's hair.
Qin Jiuwei chuckled helplessly, letting Gao Yunzhi dress her up.
In her previous life, although she was on good terms with Yunzhi, she faced many restrictions because she was in the palace.
There are rarely times when we can chat so casually.
Gao Yunzhi waved her hand and said in a light and cheerful voice, "You look good in all of these, so I'll give them all to you."
"Huh?" Qin Jiuwei was taken aback.
The things in the Princess's residence were naturally of the finest quality. For instance, the pearls on the silver hairpin were all from the South China Sea and were extremely valuable.
Not to mention the finest Hetian jade and rubies.
But she knew Gao Yunzhi's personality; what she liked most was giving her all sorts of things...
Qin Jiuwei nodded and curtsied, "Alright, then I will accept it. Thank you, Princess."
Gao Yunzhi chuckled, "There's no need for such formalities between us."
No wonder she and the little beauty get along so well; in the past, when she bestowed gifts upon them, they would all make excuses and beg, which was extremely boring.
Qin Jiuwei looked at Gao Yunzhi's smiling face, pursed her lips, and asked.
"Is the princess's pregnancy going smoothly?"
