Chapter 141 Cloud Feather CP Gong Shangjiao 18
Nianxia, having been discovered, nodded generously, "It's because you taught me so well, Miss."
Zheng Nanyi was amused and ordered, "Xichun, teach her a lesson and let her scare us."
Xi Chun went up and started playfully fighting with Nian Xia, while Zheng Nanyi cheered Xi Chun on from the side. For a moment, the room was filled with laughter.
Gong Shangjiao peeled an orange and gave half to Zheng Nanyi and half to Gong Yuanzheng. "On the Lantern Festival, Zhi Ren allowed us to go to Jiuchen Valley to see the lantern festival."
Zheng Nanyi looked at the half orange in her hand, then at the one in Gong Yuanzheng's hand.
A man who's always trying to balance things out between his brother and his fiancée is really funny.
"Why did Zhiren suddenly send us to the lantern festival? There's never been a precedent for this before."
Gong Yuanzheng stuffed a segment of orange into his mouth, his face contorted from the sourness.
Seeing Gong Yuanzheng's expression, Zheng Nanyi also broke off a segment of orange and carefully took a bite.
Ugh... It's sour. The moment she saw Gong Yuanzheng's expression, she shouldn't have tried it out of desperation.
After taking a sip of tea to mask the sour taste, Zheng Nanyi returned the orange to Gong Shangjiao.
"It must be because of Gong Ziyu. He suggested to Zhi Ren that he take Shangguan Qian to see the lantern festival, so Zhi Ren let us go with him."
Miyazaki, who was talking, was puzzled when the orange was stuffed back into his mouth. He broke off a segment and tasted it.
Great, he said, why did Zheng Nanyi return the oranges? They were so sour.
He took the oranges back from Gong Yuanzheng's hand and put them back on the plate. "They're sour, don't eat them. Let the kitchen make candied fruit for them. Eat something else."
Gong Yuanzheng sneered disdainfully, "Zhi Ren really favors Gong Ziyu, letting us benefit as well, even allowing us to go to the lantern festival. We don't even know if he's his own son."
Gong Shangjiao reminded him, "Yuanzheng, after all, is a swordsman."
Gong Yuanzheng smiled and said, "I know that. I always respect him when we're out in public."
Zheng Nanyi blinked and asked curiously, "What? 'Don't even know if he's your own son'? Is there a story behind this? Tell me about it."
"You think this is a story? Tell me about it."
Despite saying this, Gong Yuanzheng still spoke, and Gong Shangjiao did not stop him.
"Before entering the palace, Lady Lan, the mother of Gongzi Yu, had a lover with whom she was in love. After entering the palace and becoming Lady Zhiren, she quickly became pregnant."
"Gong Ziyu was born prematurely, and there have always been rumors in the Gong family that Gong Ziyu is not of Gong family blood."
Zheng Nanyi was puzzled. "But aren't all brides-to-be required to have their pulse checked by a doctor? If a woman is pregnant, the doctor can't just hide it, can he?"
"I heard from the people of Yu Palace that Zhi Ren and Lady Lan had met before the palace gates were chosen for marriage. Zhi Ren fell in love with Lady Lan at first sight, so it's understandable that the doctor would try to keep this a secret."
Zhi Ren would naturally not spread such rumors, but the servants who cleaned the room had all seen the painting of Madam Lan in his room.
"Was the marriage selection list arranged by Zhi Ren himself? Before the selection, the brides were all staying in the women's quarters. Did Zhi Ren meet the brides beforehand?"
"If none of these apply, how did Zhi Ren know that Madam Lan was here to choose a husband? Putting that aside, the clinic is under the jurisdiction of the Conquest Palace. If Zhi Ren had the doctor conceal this matter, it would be impossible to hide it from the Palace Master of the Conquest Palace."
"The Palace Master and the elders of the Conquest Palace would not allow Zhi Ren to confuse the bloodlines of the Palace. Moreover, if Madam Lan had someone she loved, she must have been forced into the Palace."
"It's possible to be prematurely born due to depression. Premature babies generally don't have very good health. How is Gong Ziyu's health?"
