After divorcing my ex-husband, I became the princess of the county

Chapter 371 Even more like Lu Wanzhi than the Mistress of Chu Palace
Zhao Heng said: "If the journey goes smoothly, you will arrive one day earlier, shouldn't it be a good thing to arrive one day earlier? It will allow you to meet Heyi one day earlier."

Lu Wanzhi caressed her belly and said: "If it is a day later, he can ask sister Jingshu to go down the mountain with him, and maybe he will ask sister Jingshu to follow him back to the eldest prince's mansion tonight because of the inconvenience of the journey. , go to the pier early tomorrow morning."

Zhao Heng shook his head and said, "This is too despicable."

Heyi looked up at Zhao Jue and frowned, "Daddy, Heyi doesn't like you like this."

Meng Jingshu took Heyi's little hand and said to Zhao Jue, "Your Highness, Heyi has already returned, you can go."

Zhao Jue looked at Lu Wanzhi's puffy stomach and said, "How many months?"

Lu Wanzhi looked at Zhao Jue warily and said, "Five months."

Meng Jingshu was curious that Lu Wanzhi had just said seven months, how could it be five months? Seeing Lu Wanzhi holding Cheng'er's hand tightly, Meng Jingshu understood that she must have been bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of well ropes .

Zhao Heng hugged Lu Wanzhi lightly, and said to Meng Jingshu: "Sister Jingshu, Xiao Heyi has delivered it to you, and Wanzhi and I will go back to the palace first."

Zhao Jue frowned more and more, "What do you call your sister-in-law?"

"Sister Jingshu." Zhao Heng said: "She is no longer the emperor's wife, she is sister Jingshu."

Zhao Jue only felt a headache.

Zhao Heng and Lu Wanzhi each took a child and went down the mountain, and after going down the mountain, they took a carriage for almost half an hour before returning to Chu Palace.

As soon as Lu Wanzhi and Zhao Heng got out of the carriage, they saw a beautiful young woman coming out of the carriage, wearing a sable fur, holding a Tang lady in her hand, and shouting coquettishly, "Cousin, cousin , you are back."

Lu Wanzhi saw that the girl in front of her looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was: "Who is this younger sister?"

Zhao Heng whispered: "She is the younger sister of Gu Qingchi and Gu Shiyu, Gu Xianqi."

Lu Wanzhi said slowly: "So it's sister Xianqi, sister Xianqi has grown up so much?"

This Gu Xianqi was not played by Mrs. Gu Hou, but the daughter of Aunt Hu, the concubine of Master Gu Hou.

Aunt Hu is sweet and sensible. Gu Xianqi is the daughter of the Marquis Gu but not as squeamish as the daughter of the Marquis. She is kind and kind. Lu Wanzhi has heard Yulan praise her sister several times.

Gu Xianqi looked at the two children behind Lu Wanzhi with a smile and said, "Yue'er has grown so big too? Sister-in-law, which one is Yue'er here?"

Seeing the woman in front of him, Yue'er hid behind Lu Wanzhi, not at all as lively and generous as he was in front of Meng Jingshu just now.

Zhao Heng hugged Yue'er and said: "This is Yue'er, called Aunt Biao."

"Gu!" Yue'er shyly shrank into Zhao Heng's neck after calling out.

Zhao Heng said: "My Yue'er is shy, but why are you in the palace?"

Gu Xianqi smiled slightly and said: "The King of Chu is not good at what he does, and there is no master in the palace who can serve him. My aunt asked me to come and serve the King of Chu."

Seeing the smiling girl in front of her, Lu Wanzhi wondered what the queen was thinking about letting her niece take care of the prince. This made no sense either emotionally or rationally.

Gu Xianqi is an unmarried girl, and it's not that no one in her family came to join her relatives.

Besides, the reason to take care of the King of Chu is also inappropriate. There is no shortage of servant girls in the King Chu's mansion to take care of him.

No matter how big Zhao Heng was, he also sensed that something was wrong.

Gu Xianqi said: "Cousin and sister-in-law, please come in quickly, it's cold outside, the prince has been waiting for you for a long time when he heard that you are coming back, so I ordered the dining room to cook your favorite lion's head. "

Lu Wanzhi looked at Gu Xianqi's behavior, but she looked more like the mistress of the Prince of Chu's palace than she did.

Lu Wanzhi didn't want to argue with a girl who was only 17 years old despite the exhaustion.

He followed Zhao Heng to the hall of the palace and saw King Chu reading a book in the hall.

"See father-in-law!"

"father."

Lu Wanzhi had already taught the two children how to salute. Cheng'er and Yue'er saw the King of Chu sitting high in the hall. The little man knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Zuzu."

Seeing the two grandsons kneeling on the ground, the King of Chu smiled happily and said, "Cheng'er, Yue'er, they are already this big."

Zhao Heng said: "Both of them are almost two years old, so naturally they are older, this Cheng'er can already recite several ancient poems."

King Chu said: "Your son is much more promising than you."

"Of course my son is more promising than your son!" Zhao Heng said angrily.

Lu Wanzhi saw Zhao Heng's appearance of hurting the enemy one thousand and self-harming eight hundred, and smiled, "That's true."

Only then did King Chu see Lu Wanzhi's bulging stomach under the cloak he was wearing and said: "By the way, you are still pregnant, sit down quickly."

Zhao Heng said: "I won't sit anymore, we're exhausted, let's go back to our room to rest."

Lu Wanzhi and Zhao Heng returned to their courtyard, seeing that the courtyard was cleaned and spotless, they felt a warm feeling after returning to their room, it turned out that the silver charcoal had been burned early.

Lu Wanzhi asked the maid beside her, "When did you burn the charcoal fire?"

"Back to Wangfei, this is the charcoal fire that Miss Biao specially ordered to burn for us two days in advance. Once you and the prince come back, the room will be warm."

Lu Wanzhi lay on the couch and said, "She's thoughtful."

Zhao Heng lay down next to Lu Wanzhi and said, "But she hasn't been engaged yet. Isn't it bad for an unmarried girl to live in our house?"

Lu Wanzhi said: "Do you still know that it's not good for an unmarried girl to live in your house? Why did you insist on me staying in the palace?"

Zhao Heng rubbed his nose, changed the topic and said: "Auntie is also true, how can you let Xianqi, an unmarried daughter of the Marquis Mansion, come to the palace? What's going on?"

Lu Wanzhi said slowly: "I remember that she is already seventeen, right? As the empress's niece, the marriage should have been settled early, do you know why she has not made a marriage? My grandmother also said that grandchildren do not need to be filial And to delay the marriage, even if it is to observe filial piety, it has already passed the filial piety period to make a marriage."

Zhao Heng put his arms around Lu Wanzhi's waist and said: "When we enter the palace tomorrow, I will ask my aunt to let Gu Xianqi go back."

Lu Wanzhi smiled lightly and said, "Yes."

Lu Wanzhi stood up and said to Wu Xiaoxiao who followed her, "After returning to the palace, I will take care of my courtyard from now on. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."

Wu Xiaoxiao replied: "Yes."

"Cousin, sister-in-law, it will take some time for the kitchen to eat dinner, you hurry back, eat two bowls of dim sum to pad your stomach."

Gu Xianqi came with a wooden basket, opened the lid on it, and inside were two bowls of fragrant chicken noodle soup, with a tangy aroma.

After all, Lu Wanzhi has two bodies, and she was really hungry when she smelled it. She took the chicken noodle soup handed over by Gu Xianqi, tasted it and said: "This tastes very good, as expected of the chef of Chu Palace."

Gu Xianqi smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I made this with my own hands. The prince also likes to eat this chicken noodle soup. This chicken soup is stewed every day when I get up at midnight, and I use old hens raised in the villa. The soup made from hens is the most fragrant."

"It's hard for you, whoever marries you in the future will be blessed."

Lu Wanzhi can get up at Yinshi to read and practice calligraphy, but she can never get up at Yinshi to make chicken soup, even if she cooks it for Chenger and Yueer herself.

Zhao Heng tasted the chicken noodle soup and sighed, "This tastes exactly the same as the chicken noodle soup I had when I was young."
