slept for eight months. Autumn passed and winter came, and then winter came. The next year, at the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the Hibiscus tree in the entire city gradually bloomed with flower buds, in twos and threes. Nangong Waner, who was once the princess of Prince Zhan, seemed to be forgotten by the people, and quite a few things had happened in Shangjing City recently.
Nangong Waner's former best friend, Liu Zhe was already pregnant. Although it was inconvenient for him to eat, he would still occasionally run over to Prince Zhan's Mansion to see the sleeping Nangong Waner.
Every time Liu Ru came to Prince Zhan's Mansion, she would stay there for half a day. She was especially patient as she told Nangong Waner all the fun and gossip about the things that happened in Shangjing City.
At this time, because of Xiao Ze's outstanding performance, he was promoted by the emperor to be a Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice step by step. Xiao Ze was busy with official affairs, but he still took time to accompany Liu Zhe to the Prince Zhan's Mansion to see Nangong Waner.
However, on this day, the door to the Prince Zhan's Mansion was locked again. No one dared to open the door, even though Liu Ruo had knocked on the door.
”Open the door!” Where are you! ” Logically speaking, no matter how hot-tempered Liu Ru was, she wouldn't dare act so wildly in Prince Zhan's Mansion. But Nangong Waner was her best friend and she cared about her friend.
After a long while, Liu Ru felt a little tired from patting on the door. Finally, a maidservant coldly opened the door, revealing a small gap. She raised her face and pointed her nose at Liu Zhenyi as she said, ”Yo, isn't this Mistress Xiao? Why has Mistress Xiao come to the Prince's Mansion?” Would you like me to pass on a message to my Miss? ”
Liu Ru was stunned for a moment. She suddenly had no idea who the person who opened the door was. When did the Prince's Mansion recruit such a sloppy-looking maid?
”This is Qin Ruxue's personal servant, Peach Blossom.” Xiao Ze looked at the servant girl, and then softly whispered into Liu Ru's ear.
”Oh …” I say, why do I dislike you so much? ” Liu Ru rolled her eyes and said indifferently.
The servant girl was infuriated.
Liu Ru puffed up her stomach again, and touched her belly with her hands, then raised her chin up high, looked at the servant girl and said a little arrogantly: ”How come Qin Ruxue is living in Prince Zhan's Mansion? I came to visit my good friend Nangong Waner, quickly open the door. ”
”Sorry, I can't.” The servant girl beamed a very congenial laugh.
”Why not?”
”Now that the Prince Zhan's Mansion's mistress is my family's young miss, and my young miss is my Prince Zhan's Mansion's mistress, ah, my young miss says that she can't do it, then she can't.”
”You …” Liu Ru was so angry that she couldn't take it anymore. She was about to extend her hand to slap the servant girl when the servant girl closed the door of the mansion heavily.
”Bang!”
Liu Ru and Xiao Ze were locked outside the door.
Liu Ruo's face turned ashen, and raised her hand, preparing to smash the door again. Seeing her imposing manner, Xiao Ze quickly stepped forward and held Liu Ruo's hand, ”If that's the case, after coming out for a long time, you should be hungry, right?” Xiao Ze looked at Liu Zhe and laughed with a face full of pain.
Liu Zhi enjoyed himself and immediately lost his previous arrogant attitude, ”I'm not hungry yet.” Liu Ruyi's voice was suddenly very gentle.
”The child should be hungry, let's go back first. Go and find out when we get back, then come visit Qin Ruxue another day to settle the score.” Xiao Ze held onto Liu Ru's hand and planned to walk towards home. Liu Ru was also very obedient, and matched up to Xiao Ze's action of holding onto her hand every single step of the way.
”Sigh, I never thought that I, Xiao Ze, would one day fall to relying on my face to survive.”
”What did you say?”
”No ….” ”It's nothing. I said, my wife, you're so beautiful.”
Even though she had been married to Xiao Ze for a year, she still felt as if she was in a great dream, a blissful and beautiful dream.
Inside Prince Zhan's Mansion, Qin Ruxue, dressed in all white, hired Tingting and stood modestly in the courtyard, waiting for the servant girl, Tao Hong, to report to him.
