Chapter 33 Xu Jiaojiao really loves him
Zhao Yunzheng was unaware of Xu Jiaojiao's thoughts, taking it all as casual conversation.
He thought about it seriously for a moment: "This kitten is very fierce. It bared its teeth the first time it saw me. So let's call it Fierce Fang."
Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but laugh.
The Prince of Chen really chose his name carelessly!
But it doesn't matter, a name is just a label, as long as it's not "that cat".
Xu Jiaojiao nodded seriously: "Great! From now on, our little fierce-toothed kitten will have a name too~"
"Meow~"
Perhaps sensing the concern of those inside, the ferocious fangs outside dashed inside and began sharpening their claws against the table leg.
Prince Chen saw this and his expression softened.
Being with Xu Jiaojiao gave him a sense of peaceful tranquility, a feeling that made him feel exceptionally comfortable.
The next day, Prince Chen indeed sent someone to deliver a box of silk ribbons, along with some other gifts.
When Prince Chen makes a move, it is naturally generous.
Xu Jiaojiao was overjoyed as she watched the flowing gifts being moved into her small storeroom.
With this money, even if she loses Prince Chen's favor in the future, she can still live well, perhaps even...
To fulfill the wish that could not be fulfilled in the previous life.
The thought of a promising future gave Xu Jiaojiao even more motivation.
As evening fell, Prince Chen arrived as usual.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Xu Jiaojiao embroidering under the corridor.
Upon seeing him, Xu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up with joy. She quickly put down her needlework and ran forward happily, exclaiming, "Your Highness, you've come!"
Recently, Zhao Yunzheng has been coming to Yuhua Courtyard every day, and Xu Jiaojiao is very happy to see him every day.
Zhao Yunzheng saw this and felt a warmth in his heart.
Xu Jiaojiao really loves him!
How could he let such a good girl down!
He couldn't help but pull Xu Jiaojiao into his arms, asking casually, "What are you embroidering?"
Xu Jiaojiao blushed: "Shoes..."
Zhao Yunzheng asked in confusion, "Why not order the servants to make them? Or have the Imperial Wardrobe send over new ones?"
Xu Jiaojiao bit her lip lightly, then lowered her head shyly: "Your shoes are worn out, and I'd like to make you a new pair myself..."
Zhao Yunzheng was slightly taken aback.
He looked down at the shoes on his feet.
His right foot did have some snagging, but he didn't pay much attention to these details, so he didn't notice it.
I never expected Xu Jiaojiao to be so thoughtful.
He couldn't help but chuckle: "It really is broken."
Xu Jiaojiao pulled him to sit down in the corridor: "I have already made one, Your Highness, please try it and see if it is comfortable."
The shoes are finely crafted; it's clear that a lot of thought and effort went into their design.
With Xu Jiaojiao's help, Zhao Yunzheng changed into new shoes.
As soon as he put them on, he felt that the shoes were the right size and the material was soft, making them very comfortable to wear. It was clear that Xu Jiaojiao had put a lot of thought into them.
Upon closer inspection, Zhao Yunzheng noticed that Xu Jiaojiao was using a silk ribbon.
He couldn't help but think of yesterday: "Yesterday you went to the storeroom to ask for silk ribbons to make shoes for me?"
Xu Jiaojiao looked up in surprise, seemingly not expecting that Prince Chen could see through her thoughts.
That expression says it all.
A tender look appeared in Zhao Yunzheng's eyes.
That silly woman…
She had to keep to herself the grievances she suffered because of him.
If he hadn't been thinking about this, wouldn't she have had to swallow all her grievances alone?
Xu Jiaojiao is so adorably silly.
Zhao Yunzheng felt both helpless and distressed: "From now on, let the servants do these small things."
Xu Jiaojiao smiled gently: "Since I'm idle anyway, I'd be happy to make new clothes for the prince."
After saying that, Xu Jiaojiao felt disgusted with herself and got goosebumps all over.
Zhao Yunzheng felt even more pity for him.
He absolutely cannot let such a wonderful woman down!
Zhao Yunzheng immediately ordered Yingyi to go to the storeroom and bring over a large amount of rewards.
When the reward arrived, the two had already been playing with Fierce Fang in the courtyard for quite a while.
As the gifts were carried into the small storeroom of Yuhua Courtyard one by one, Xu Jiaojiao's gaze toward Zhao Yunzheng became increasingly sincere.
No man will hate a woman who loves him wholeheartedly.
Therefore, as long as she makes a small effort to make Prince Chen feel that she is deeply in love with him, Prince Chen will repay her a thousandfold.
As dusk fell, the two began their evening meal.
During the meal, Zhao Yunzheng remembered Jia Rong's previous instructions: "In a few days, the Marquis of Ningde will be holding a first birthday banquet for his youngest son. I plan to take you with me."
Xu Jiaojiao was flattered: "My status is too low, wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
Zhao Yunzheng naturally thought of this as well.
If only Xu Jiaojiao is taken along, people outside the mansion will inevitably say that he favors his concubine over his wife, and the other women in the mansion will also see Xu Jiaojiao as a thorn in their side.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, the princess will be there too."
Having received the message, Xu Jiaojiao felt relieved: "In that case, I will obey."
After a brief pause, Zhao Yunzheng continued, "The day before the first birthday banquet, I will send a girl to your courtyard. The next day, that girl will accompany you to the Ningde Marquis's residence as a maid. Please take good care of her for me."
Xu Jiaojiao nodded slightly: "Okay."
Seeing how obedient she was, and without asking any further questions, Zhao Yunzheng hesitated: "Aren't you curious about who that girl is?"
Xu Jiaojiao raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Yunzheng very seriously, gentle and obedient: "Your Highness has your reasons for doing things. If Your Highness wanted to say something, you would have told me from the beginning. Since Your Highness has chosen not to say anything, then I naturally shouldn't ask any more questions."
Zhao Yunzheng was deeply shaken.
How could there be such an understanding and kind girl in this world!
If it were any other woman, she would definitely interrogate him thoroughly and find out everything.
His darling is so wonderful!
Zhao Yunzheng said softly, "It's good that you think that way. Don't worry, that girl is a very nice person, and you two will definitely get along very well."
Upon hearing this, a hint of anticipation appeared in Xu Jiaojiao's beautiful eyes: "Then I'll wait and see!"
A few days later, Prince Chen indeed sent a girl over.
The girl was charming and adorable, with crescent-shaped eyes when she smiled, and upon closer inspection, she even bore a resemblance to Zhao Yunzheng.
Xu Jiaojiao had already made up her mind.
This must be Zhao Yunzheng's younger sister, the little princess of the Yan Dynasty, Jia Rong!
In her previous life, she had heard about the tragic love story between Princess Jiarong and Li Mingyu, the heir of the Marquis of Ningde.
The two were betrothed at a young age. Jia Rong was deeply in love with Li Mingyu, but Li Mingyu had no feelings for Jia Rong.
After marriage, Li Mingyu kept a mistress and had a son and a daughter with her, while Jia Rong died in the inner quarters, depressed.
When Jia Rong died, he was said to be skin and bones, and his appearance was tragic and indescribable.
The emperor was furious, and as a result, the entire Ningde Marquis family was implicated.
This incident shocked the court and the public at the time. From the imperial relatives to the common people, everyone discussed it during their leisure time.
Seeing Jia Rong standing right in front of her, his eyes bright and lively, his cheeks still chubby from the baby fat, Xu Jiaojiao felt a slight pang in her heart.
How could such a lovely girl end up with such a tragic fate?
If even a princess could be confined to the inner quarters and waste half her life, one can only imagine how difficult it must have been for other women.
Thinking of this, Xu Jiaojiao felt a pang of pity for Jia Rong.
Jia Rong dressed casually and curiously looked at Xu Jiaojiao as soon as he entered Yuhua Courtyard.
A moment later, she exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, is this the beautiful woman who saved the hero? She's so beautiful!"
Jia Rong's voice interrupted Xu Jiaojiao's thoughts.
She grinned, almost unable to contain her smile.
To be honest, Princess Jiarong's words were really pleasing!
