Chapter 106 Why not register Ruanruan as the Crown Prince's Consort?

After leaving Yinlin Courtyard, Gu Yizi went to Fanghua Courtyard.

This is his first visit since his return.

Tao Yurong did not look surprised. As usual, she invited him into the house and asked the kitchen to prepare his favorite dishes. She chatted with him while handling the chores in the house.

Like an old married couple who have been together for many years, they respect each other.

All the previous conflicts, estrangements and dissatisfactions no longer exist.

"I have prepared a list for Ruanruan's full moon banquet. Please take a look at it, my lord, to see if there is anything missing." Tao Yurong handed the written list to Caiwei, who then brought it to Gu Yizi who was lying on the couch.

After taking the list and taking a look at it, Gu Yizi frowned slightly, "Why are there so few people?"

Tao Yurong hesitated for a moment and said with embarrassment, "Although Ruanruan is the eldest daughter of the prince, Xia Zheng's family background is not good after all. If we invite too many people with high status, it will give people something to talk about."

Gu Yizi carefully looked at the people on the list. Most of them were military generals with high status. They cared about the rules of their origin as much as the civil officials, which was enough for Yu Runrun's full moon banquet.

But the full moon banquet is not just about informing relatives and friends, it also lays the foundation for Ruanruan's future status, which is related to her social life, treatment, and marriage when she grows up.

He had already lost a child, and Ruanruan was a girl, so Gu Yizi wanted to give her something better.

"I know this is unfair to Ruanruan. After all, she is our family's first daughter. I love her so much that I have to visit her every two days to feel at ease. I want to make a big fuss for her and invite all the famous families in the capital, but... I have to consider the Crown Prince and the Duke's Mansion. After all, many eyes are on us now."

Gu Yizi naturally understood Tao Yurong's considerations.

Ever since he defeated the Boch army and the old emperor completely purged the court by taking advantage of the issue of military rations, there are no more voices opposing him, and more people are urging the decision to be made as soon as possible because of the old emperor's health.

It's just like him. He looks calm on the surface, but secretly there are many things waiting to happen.

At this moment, everyone in the Duke's Mansion must be extremely cautious in his every move, otherwise they will be doomed.

"My lord, I actually have a way to have the best of both worlds." Caiwei said.

"Shut up!" Tao Yurong immediately stopped him and said to Gu Yizi, "Sir, don't listen to her nonsense. Her method will not work."

Gu Yizhi glanced at the master and servant and said, "It doesn't hurt to hear whether it works or not."

"I think that since the Crown Prince's Consort is the legitimate wife, the young lady should also call her mother. In this case, it would be better to register her under the Crown Prince's Consort's name. In this way, her status will be that of the eldest daughter, and the full moon banquet can be grand. In the future, the young lady's status will be good, and no one will criticize her."

"I didn't agree. Xia Zheng just gave birth, and it's her first child." Tao Yurong's voice became smaller and smaller in embarrassment. Combined with her previous words, it seemed that she was happy, but she didn't want to take someone else's love away.

Looking at the two of them, Gu Yizi put down the book thoughtfully.

In other mansions, concubines who gave birth to children would be eager to have their children counted under the name of the mistress, so that they could be called legitimate children and change their fate.

Tao Yurong didn't have any children, and Gu Yizi knew that she visited her often these days. She really liked Ruanruan and was even very attentive to her.

Besides, Tao Yurong is indeed worthy of the title of virtuous and kind, at least on the surface.

From any perspective, registering Ruanruan under Tao Yurong's name is the best choice.

But Gu Yizi couldn't help but think of Xia Zheng lying on the bed after giving birth, looking at her soft body, so happy and loving.

Furthermore...

"You're right. It was hard for Wei to accept the loss of her child and she went crazy. Let's not make another one sad. Ruanruan is a girl, so it's okay for Xia Zheng to raise her herself. I'll consider the full moon banquet later." Gu Yizi stood up and went out.

Tao Yurong was stunned for a moment before she hurriedly followed and said, "Prince, please have your meal before leaving."

"There are still official duties. You should use more of them yourself. You have lost weight recently."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Yizhi strode away without stopping. Tao Yurong stood there, touching her face and asked Caiwei in a low voice: "Have I lost weight?"

"Yes, you have lost some weight. The prince still cares about you."

"Then why shouldn't he?"

Caiwei couldn't answer this question.

She and Tao Yurong both thought that Gu Yizi would definitely agree to this. After all, it was the best arrangement for Ruanruan. He liked this child so much, how could he not consider her?

"Could it be that ***..."

When Tao Yurong mentioned ***, her expression turned sinister.

If *** is in trouble, then Xiao Jingyue will have to come in.

"If a father doesn't consider his daughter, a mother will always consider her." Tao Yurong sneered, lifted the hem of her skirt and walked towards Yinlin's courtyard.

At this time, Xia Zheng was using the small silver lock to coax Ruanruan to sleep.

I don’t know if it was the dazzling little silver lock or the sound of the little bell hanging below that lulled me to sleep, but after a while, my little eyes closed completely, and I moved my head against Xia Zheng, finding a comfortable position.

In this case, Xia Zheng would feel uncomfortable handing her over.

"Your father is right, you are a very clever girl." Xia Zheng gently scolded her, tapping her soft nose with her finger.

"Auntie." Nanny Liang walked in. Xia Zheng thought she was going to say that she was holding Ruanruan again. Just as she was about to explain that Ruanruan had fallen asleep, she heard her next sentence: "The Crown Prince's Consort is here."

"Didn't the Crown Prince's Concubine just come here this morning?" Shuangjiang was surprised. No matter how much the Crown Prince's Concubine liked the young lady, she wouldn't come here twice in one day.

Xia Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Madam, please welcome the Crown Prince's Consort."

Nanny Liang wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't open her mouth. She nodded and turned around to go out.

Xia Zheng ignored Ruanruan's humming as she came out of her arms and handed her to Shuangjiang, "Take Ruanruan to sleep with the wet nurse."

Seeing that Ruanruan was about to cry, Shuangjiang wanted to say that she should be held longer and sleep more soundly, but Xia Zheng turned to Shuangjiang and ordered: "Take out the pair of red jade earrings from the makeup box in the cabinet on the bed."

When Shuangjiang heard that Xia Zheng was going to take out the ruby ​​earrings that she had kept hidden and not allowed anyone to tell anyone, although she couldn't understand why for a moment, she felt that it was a serious matter. She didn't dare to delay any longer and took Ruanruan, coaxing her while walking quickly to the side room.

Xia Zheng looked at the pair of blood-red earrings that Shuangxue brought out, took a deep breath, reached out to put on the two earrings, pulled her hair to cover them, adjusted her sitting position, and then signaled Shuangxue to open the door.

The moment the door opened, Tao Yurong's skirt stepped into the door, just like the skirt she saw when she knelt and begged in Zhou's courtyard.

She was trying to survive that day, and she was doing the same today.
