Chapter 383: So cute, little guy
Yun Yubing sat opposite her, talking non-stop like a cheerful little bird: "Sister Xi, I have good news for you. Big Brother is about to have good news!"
When Chu Zixi heard the news, she raised her eyebrows slightly and stopped stirring the spoon in her hand.
Yun Yubing became even more excited when she saw her reaction, and continued, "It's your little cousin, Chu Mengting! She has been coming to our Duke of the Guardian's Mansion every day recently! My aunt likes her very much. Every time my brother goes to court or to the military camp, my aunt will take her out to play, go shopping, appreciate flowers, and listen to operas together. The two of them are inseparable!"
Chu Zixi heard this and smiled slightly, "Mengting likes my cousin. I saw it when we were in Chu."
After eating and drinking, Chu Zixi gently put down the bowl in her hand, picked up the handkerchief beside her, and carefully wiped the corners of her mouth.
She looked up at Yun Yubing, her eyes flickering with a hint of teasing: "Cousin, do you have a crush on someone?"
Yun Yubing was stunned by this sudden question and almost dropped the teacup in her hand.
She stared at Chu Zixi with wide eyes. It took her a while to react and a blush appeared on her face: "No, how could I have that?" There was a hint of shyness and panic in her voice.
Seeing this, Chu Zixi laughed even harder, her laughter was clear and sweet, like a mountain stream. "Cousin, look at you, your face is red, and you still say no?" She joked, her eyes full of smiles.
Yun Yubing pouted, her face flushed even more. She said coquettishly, "My mother is preparing to find me a boyfriend! But I'm not in a hurry! I haven't had enough fun yet! I don't want to get married so early."
Chu Zixi put away her smile, looked at Yun Yubing seriously, and said: "Cousin, although marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers, your own feelings are the most important. If you don't like it, don't force yourself."
Yun Yubing felt a warm current in her heart when she heard this. She looked at Chu Zixi with a gleam of gratitude in her eyes: "Sister Xi, you are so kind! Don't worry, I won't force myself!"
At this time, Yu strode in, lowered his eyebrows and looked submissive, "Princess, the gifts have been prepared."
Chu Zixi stood up and said, "Cousin, let's go see our eldest cousin now."
Yun Yubing looked up when she heard that, a smile flashed in her eyes: "Okay, let's go, let's go, let's go see Xiaoyue'er, that little guy is very cute."
After she finished speaking, she stood up, naturally took Chu Zixi's hand, and they walked out the door together.
After leaving the palace, an exquisite carriage had been waiting for a long time.
Chu Zixi and Yun Yubing smiled at each other and got into the carriage hand in hand.
Following Yu Da's gentle shout, the carriage moved slowly and headed towards Chen's residence.
Inside the carriage, Yun Yubing looked at Chu Zixi, "Sister Xi, Sister Si's husband is a tutor in the Hanlin Academy." Yun Yubing suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the carriage.
There was some emotion in her voice, "Brother-in-law is really good to Sister Si, they have a good relationship, which makes people very envious."
Chu Zixi raised her head when she heard this, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "Oh? I have never seen my brother-in-law before, I must take a good look at him today."
Yun Yubing smiled slightly upon hearing this and continued, "Although my brother-in-law does not hold a high position, he is very talented and humble. He and Sister Si have an even deeper relationship, and they support each other, which makes others envious."
The carriage slowly moved through the street, and the scenery on both sides unfolded like a painting.
Chu Zixi and Yun Yubing chatted and laughed all the way, and before they knew it, the carriage had stopped in front of the Chen Mansion.
The doorman obviously knew Yun Yubing. As soon as he saw her get out of the car, he immediately came over and respectfully invited them in.
Inside the Chen Mansion, Chu Zixi and Yun Yubing walked along the bluestone path, and from time to time they could see the busy figures of maids and servants.
They chatted and laughed all the way and soon arrived at Yun Mengsi's residence.
"Sister, my sister Xier and I are here to see you and Xiaoyueer..." Yun Yubing's voice was clear and pleasant.
When Yun Mengsi heard the voice, she hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, trying to make her expression look normal, forced a smile, and stood up to greet them.
She said softly: "Xi'er, Bing'er, you...why are you here?"
Yun Yubing walked quickly into the room, looked around, and asked in confusion, "Sister, where is Xiaoyue?"
Yun Mengsi gently shook her head and replied, "The little guy was hungry just now and kept crying, so the nurse took him away to feed him."
At this time, Chu Zixi looked at Yun Mengsi, frowned slightly, and asked worriedly: "Cousin, are you okay? Did something happen?"
Hearing this, Yun Mengsi tried hard to force a smile, trying to make herself look fine, "Xier, what can happen to me? I'm so happy that you guys can come visit me! Come quickly, bring some tea and snacks."
Following Yun Mengsi's instructions, the servants immediately took action. After a while, the room was filled with the fragrance of tea, and the snacks were arranged very delicately and deliciously.
Chu Zixi winked at Ambassador Yu, who walked forward, carefully placed the gift box in his hand on the table beside him, and then stepped aside.
Chu Zixi smiled and said to Yun Mengsi: "Cousin, I haven't had time to see you since I came back. These gifts are for you and the little one."
Yun Mengsi smiled and said to Chu Zixi, "You came so soon, why did you bring a gift? The last time you went to the Yun residence, I had something to deal with, and Xiaoyue was still young and quite noisy, so I couldn't go back. Someone, go and ask the nurse to bring Xiaoyue up!"
As Yun Mengsi finished her words, a wet nurse in plain clothes slowly walked in holding a baby.
The baby had just eaten and had stopped crying.
Her big, bright eyes were round and there were a few tears still hanging on her face, but this did not affect her innocent expression at all.
This baby, who is only four months old, has skin as white as jade.
Her little hands were waving in the air, as if exploring everything around her.
When Chu Zixi saw the cute little baby, she immediately stood up and walked over, took the child from the wet nurse, and held it carefully in her arms.
She gently stroked Xiaoyue'er's cheek and said softly, "Oh, you are so cute, little one."
Yun Yubing, who was standing by, also came over and looked at Xiaoyue'er carefully. She smiled and said, "Yes, our Xiaoyue'er is really pretty. She will definitely become a beauty in the future."
Hearing their praise, Yun Mengsi finally broke into a smile from the bottom of her heart.
