Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

The next day, Gu Xiling slept until she woke up naturally.

Full of energy and rosy complexion.

When Xiulan saw that the Crown Prince's wife had woken up, she quickly brought over the breakfast that the kitchen had carefully prepared.

Gu Xiling ate her breakfast leisurely and went to pay her respects to her mother-in-law in a leisurely manner.

Her life was easy and comfortable, and even the servants around her could feel Gu Xiling's relaxation.

Song now likes Gu Xiling more and more and doesn't want to find fault with her daughter-in-law at all.

She felt that her son's safety was a blessing brought by Gu Xiling.

"If you feel tired in the future, you don't have to come over to greet me! You can come as comfortably as you want at home!"

Gu Xiling smiled sweetly, "My mother loves me and lets me sleep more and stay energetic. I am very grateful to her."

"Having such a good mother, Xiling wants to come and talk to her every day. If she doesn't see her for a day, she won't be able to eat or sleep well."

Although she knew that what her daughter-in-law said were flattering words and might not be true, Song felt very comfortable listening to them!

As a mother-in-law, of course she likes her daughter-in-law to be respectful to her and please her.

It's so rare that this daughter-in-law can take care of both!

"You are a filial son!" Song praised. "In the next period of time, there will be more rainy days. Take advantage of the sunshine these few days to help Jin'er dry the books!"

Gu Xiling readily agreed, "Yes, mother!"

After leaving her mother-in-law’s main courtyard, Gu Xiling returned to Zizhu Courtyard.

I came to Zhou Jin's study, moved a chaise longue, and sat under the tree.

Xiulan brought the maids and old women to move the books from Zhou Jin's study out to dry.

During the book drying period, no one is allowed to enter or leave the courtyard.

To prevent someone from mixing bad things into the books.

A maid took out a box from the cupboard, placed it on the table outside, and slowly opened it.

I originally thought that there were books inside, but it turned out that it was not books, but wood and some carving tools.

At first the maid didn't look at it much, but just carefully placed these things on the table.

There were too many tools and they collided with each other making a loud noise.

Gu Xiling was curious, so she turned her eyes over and saw a half-carved statue on the table.

Gu Xiling stood up and walked over.

She took a closer look and immediately became angry!

Although the woman was only half carved, Gu Xiling recognized her as Gu Xirong at a glance.

Oh my, you are still a romantic person!

He even gave Gu Xirong a statue. Is it because he couldn't contain himself? Did he carve it out to look at it every day?

Seeing that Gu Xiling looked unhappy, Xiulan walked over with lighter steps.

Seeing this, Xiulan was stunned.

Prince!

This thing was not disposed of sooner rather than later and is still kept in the exquisite box in the study!

Could it be that you still have feelings for Miss Xirong?

Originally, the Crown Prince and his wife were already in love with each other and things were getting better and better.

Now because of this statue, the prince probably still has a long way to go.

Gu Xiling just stared at the statue on the table, her eyes dark and changeable.

On this day, Gu Xiling carefully showed Zhou Jin the books.

In the afternoon, the book was put back into the room unopened.

The maid was about to put the statue into the box when she was stopped by Gu Xiling.

"Wait! Don't put this thing in the box, put it directly on the prince's desk!"

Xiulan lowered her head and did as she was told.

In the evening, Gu Xiling did not go to the main courtyard to eat, but asked the maid to bring it to Zizhu Courtyard.

After dinner, Gu Xiling asked someone to close the gate.

"If the prince comes, tell him I'm resting and don't let him in!"

Xiulan responded, "Yes!"

Soon the lights in the room were blown out and Gu Xiling lay on the bed.

I thought I couldn’t sleep, but the darkness seemed to bring me sleepiness, and Gu Xiling soon fell asleep.

Zhou Jin came to the main courtyard, but did not see Gu Xiling.

"Xi Ling said she wanted to rest early today. Maybe she was tired from drying books for you today! After dinner, go see Xi Ling and show her your concern!"

Zhou Jin agreed, "Yes, mother!"

When I arrived at Zizhuyuan, I found that Gu Xiling had already fallen asleep.

Zhou Jin asked Xiulan: "Madam, are you feeling unwell today?"

Xiulan thought for a moment, "The Crown Prince's wife is not feeling well!"

"Why is this?" Zhou Jin looked puzzled.

Xiulan replied: "I dare not speculate on my master's thoughts. You will know when you go to the study!"

Zhou Jin was even more confused, "What happened today?"

Xiulan replied, "Madam Hou said that it will be rainy soon, so she asked the Crown Prince's wife to help the Crown Prince dry his books while the weather is nice these few days."

"Sunning books?" Zhou Jin was slightly stunned when he heard this. How could drying books make someone angry?

"Is it possible that Xiling is not happy to let me air out her books? Or is airing out her books tiring Xiling?"

When Xiulan heard this, she lowered her head and rolled her eyes, "Prince, think about what else is there in the study besides books!"

"The Crown Prince's wife is only thinking about the Crown Prince, but what about the Crown Prince? It will only hurt the Crown Prince's wife's heart!"

After saying that, Xiulan snorted and turned away.

Zhou Jin felt puzzled and looked suspicious.

"Laifu, besides books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone, what else is there in the study?"

Lai Fu was also thinking that anything that could make the magnanimous Crown Prince's wife angry must be closely related to the Crown Prince and his wife.

Suddenly, Lai Fu slapped his thigh.

"Sir, have you forgotten? There is a box in the cabinet in the study, which contains the statue you carved for Miss Xirong."

"The Crown Prince's wife is showing you books, so of course she has read every corner of the study!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jin's heart skipped a beat and he panicked, "It's bad!"

Zhou Jin walked quickly to the study, opened the door, turned on the light and took a look.

Sure enough, there was a half-carved statue on the desk.

From the face above, we can tell it is Gu Xirong.

"What should I do?" Zhou Jin was a little anxious. He and Gu Xiling finally developed feelings for each other.

Now Gu Xiling is angry and doesn't even want to see him.

Zhou Jin walked back and forth, making Lai Fu dizzy.

I wanted to apologize to Gu Xiling, but I didn’t know how to explain.

Lai Fu saw this and said, "Prince, please stop walking back and forth! You've made me dizzy!"

"A blessing in disguise. It's certainly not a good thing that the Crown Prince's wife was angry when she saw the statue."

"But from another perspective, it is precisely because the Crown Prince's wife cares about the Crown Prince that she is angry! If she didn't care, why would she be angry?"

Zhou Jin, who was originally a little anxious and restless, brightened up his eyes after hearing Lai Fu's persuasion.

What could be more important than Gu Xirong caring about making him happy?

"Laifu, I find you are very smart now!" Zhou Jin praised, sitting on the chair, looking calm and no longer panicked.

Lai Fu smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are too kind! Actually, Your Highness is just too concerned and panicked."

"Calm down, Prince, you can figure it out! Husband and wife are always happy enemies."

"The Crown Prince's wife is angry, so you should comfort her more! I told Xiulan in private that this statue was carved before you got married! If the Crown Prince's wife knows this, she will definitely not be angry with you anymore."
