Chapter 351: I encountered many interesting things
Chu Zixi looked at them with a smile and said gently, "Please help me pick a dress. I need to change into a suitable set of clothes. I will go to the Guardian Duke's Mansion to visit the elders, so I have to dress appropriately."
Xiao Cui responded, walked quickly to the clothes rack, and examined each dress carefully.
Her fingers gently brushed over the gorgeous clothes, finally stopping on a lavender dress. The hem of the dress swayed lightly, as hazy and elegant as the morning mist.
Xiao Cui carefully took off the long skirt, held it in both hands and handed it to Chu Zixi, and said softly: "Princess, what do you think of this skirt? It has a light color and a unique style. It is both dignified and can show your temperament."
Chu Zixi took the skirt, looked at it carefully, nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, wear this one." Then, Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu helped Chu Zixi put on new clothes.
Chu Zixi walked to the dressing table and sat down. She looked at herself in the mirror and said, "Pair it with a simple piece of jewelry. Don't make it too gorgeous." After that, Chu Zixi walked to the dressing table and sat down. She looked at herself in the mirror intently, waiting for Xiaolu and Xiaocui to choose suitable jewelry for her.
Xiaolu stood aside, carefully selecting items from the jewelry box.
Xiao Lu's eyes rested on a pair of delicate earrings and a simple jade hairpin, and she nodded secretly in her heart. These jewellery were neither too ostentatious nor too eye-catching, and could add a touch of highlight to Chu Zixi's outfit.
Xiaolu carefully took out the earrings and jade hairpin, and walked gently to Chu Zixi. She first put the earrings on Chu Zixi's ears, and then inserted the jade hairpin into Chu Zixi's bun with gentle movements.
After finishing, Xiaolu stepped aside and admired Chu Zixi's new look.
She couldn't help but admire softly, "The princess is really naturally beautiful. This simple outfit is enough to make people's eyes shine."
Hearing Xiaolu's praise, Chu Zixi smiled slightly, turned to look at Xiaolu and Xiaocui, and teased: "Xiaolu's words are getting sweeter and sweeter, reward! Xiaocui, reward too!" As she spoke, two golden beans suddenly appeared in Chu Zixi's hand, and she handed them to them respectively.
Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu were delighted when they saw this.
The two of them quickly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Princess."
Everything was ready. Chu Zixi stood up and asked Yu Er to come in and pack the gifts. At this time, Yu Da also came in, "Princess, everything is ready."
"Yeah." Chu Zixi stepped out of the room and set out on the journey to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
The carriage stopped steadily in front of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, and the sound of the wheels rolling stopped abruptly.
The curtain was gently lifted, and a white jade-like hand stretched out, and then a woman in a lavender dress came down slowly. She had a graceful figure and light steps, like a fairy descending to the earth.
The guards on both sides of the gate had solemn expressions at first, but when they saw Chu Zixi, their eyes lit up instantly. The guards guarding the gate naturally recognized that this was their cousin from the Duke's Mansion. One of them quickly turned around and ran quickly into the mansion, obviously to inform her of her arrival.
The other guard stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted, his voice full of respect: "Miss Cousin."
Chu Zixi nodded slightly, with a smile on her lips, and she walked into the mansion.
At this time, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the yard, getting closer and closer.
Yun Yubing rushed out like a happy little bird, her face filled with joy and anticipation.
However, perhaps because she was running too fast, her feet suddenly twisted, her body lost balance, and she was about to fall to the ground.
At this critical moment, Chu Zixi flashed like a purple lightning and instantly jumped to Yun Yubing's side.
She reached out and hugged Yun Yubing's waist to steady her body.
Yun Yubing blinked her big eyes and looked at Chu Zixi in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.
After a while, Yun Yubing came back to her senses, swallowed, and stammered: "Um... Xier, when did you become so powerful? The speed just now was so fast! And so handsome! If you were a man, I would definitely marry you!" After saying that, she blinked mischievously.
Chu Zixi heard this, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, with a teasing light flashing in her eyes: "Cousin, is your foot okay?"
Yun Yubing stood up straight, moved her foot, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that she was not sprained: "It's okay, I'm not sprained. I just haven't seen you for a long time, and I was too excited." After saying that, she winked at Chu Zixi mischievously.
At this time, Ruan Shi, who had just seen her daughter almost fall, was so frightened that her face turned pale. At this moment, she walked forward and gently touched Yun Yubing's forehead with her finger, with a tone of blame and pampering: "You, when will you be more stable? You are always in a hurry, how can you be like a girl at all?"
Yun Yubing stuck out her tongue and made a face: "Mom, I look like a woman from head to toe. How can I not look like one? I'm just anxious to see Xier." As she said that, she glanced at Chu Zixi again and a bright smile appeared on her face.
Chu Zixi bowed and greeted politely, "Aunt, Second Aunt."
Qin smiled and responded: "Xi'er is finally back. Your grandmother misses you every day."
Ruan also said: "Yes, your grandmother misses you."
Yun Yubing held Chu Zixi's arm affectionately and said gently, "Come on, Xier. Grandma was so happy to hear that you were here. Don't keep grandma waiting for too long."
Chu Zixi smiled and nodded, "Okay."
The group of people talked and laughed as they slowly walked towards the old lady's yard.
As soon as she saw everyone coming, the old lady's face immediately broke into a warm smile, as bright as a flower blooming in spring.
Especially when her eyes fell on Chu Zixi, that smile added a bit of pampering and love.
She looked at Chu Zixi lovingly, with a gleam in her eyes.
"Xier, come and sit down." The old lady waved at Chu Zixi, her voice soft and kind, like a spring breeze blowing on her face.
Chu Zixi walked gracefully to the old lady's side, bowed gently, and greeted her politely, "Grandma."
The old lady stretched out her hands and pulled Chu Zixi to sit beside her.
She gently stroked Chu Zixi's hair, her eyes full of endless love, as if she wanted to pour all her love into Chu Zixi. Although her hands were covered with traces of time, they were still as warm as before, conveying a deep love.
"Xi'er, you must be exhausted from the journey. Why don't you take a couple of more days' rest before visiting your grandmother?" The old lady's words were full of concern. Her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she felt sorry for Chu Zixi's hard work.
Chu Zixi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sweet smile, and said softly: "Grandma, I'm not tired at all. The carriage is very comfortable. I enjoyed many beautiful scenery along the way and encountered many interesting things."
