Chapter 1 Entering the Palace

Chapter 1 Entering the Palace

Biting cold wind

A pink sedan was quietly carried into Prince Zhao's palace through the side door.

Ji Yunqing, who was sitting in the sedan chair, was wearing a new light pink dress according to the rules, with two small pearl flowers pinned on her hair, and a small patched gray bundle tightly held in her arms.

——Inside it was simply a set of old clothes that had been washed until they were bleached, and seven or eight artificial flower hairpins made from scraps of cloth.

This is all her belongings now!

"Master Ji, please get out of the sedan chair."

I heard the old woman shouting outside.

Ji Yunqing knew that she had arrived.

Without wasting any time, he climbed down from the sedan chair swiftly.

To be honest, it’s only been less than three days since Ji Yunqing came from the modern era!

Two days ago, she was lying on the bed with a dazed look on her face and was fed bitter medicine. Today, she was dragged out early in the morning. Regardless of her frail body and weakness, she was forced to wash and then changed her clothes and stuffed into the sedan chair.

If she hadn't been quick-eyed and quick-handed, she wouldn't have been able to get even this little bit of property.

That's why, when she tried to stretch her feet down, she found that she couldn't get down by her own strength.

I could only reach down tentatively in a messy posture.

As soon as my feet touched the ground, I almost fell to the ground prostrate!

There was a little maidservant nearby who was quick-witted and rushed out to help Ji Yunqing up.

Ji Yunqing responded with an approving smile.

Good girl, when I get my feet on the ground, I will definitely take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks!

With the help of the maid, Ji Yunqing slowly moved his feet and followed the old woman who led the way to a small courtyard.

Standing in front of the courtyard for a while, Ji Yunqing looked up at the plaque above.

There are three large cursive characters in a dancing style!

After a brief silence, Ji Yunqing's eyes were blank.

She didn't recognize any of the words on it.

Ji Yunqing's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that the world she traveled to was actually called - I was an illiterate in ancient times?

Isn't this... a bit unreasonable?

She took a deep breath. She was the daughter of a seventh-rank county magistrate, so she couldn't be illiterate. From what she remembered, people here used traditional Chinese characters, and the cursive writing was very sloppy.

She doesn't understand it for the time being, which makes sense.

She can't let the cat out of the bag!

As if nothing had happened, Ji Yunqing looked calm and was the first to enter the yard.

After just a quick glance at the yard, Ji Yunqing was led into the inner room of the house.

She needs to wait here today. The legendary prince may or may not come tonight.

After sending the maid away, the room fell into silence.

She walked around the room anxiously to check, then let herself fall onto the soft bedding and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Omg!

She has completed half of her mission today. Now it all depends on whether the prince will come.

To be fair, Ji Yunqing hoped that he would not come.

It is said that there was a concubine entering the mansion with her today?

That concubine might be the daughter of some local governor. There's a big difference between her and the daughter of a seventh-rank county magistrate. In short, it sounds like her status is quite unusual. The prince should go there first.

So what does she do next?

Don't panic.

Ji Yunqing thought about it and finally decided to follow the plan he had made previously.

First, she had to develop a likable character.

Since she had just entered the palace, she was reserved and cautious in front of the prince.

Afterwards, she gradually transformed into a character who was indifferent, non-competitive and independent.

It would be better if she is a little smart, but not too smart, lest in the future when they get along, the prince will notice that she is too smart and feel inferior.

Another point is that when the prince comes over for the first time, she should say or do something to deepen his basic impression of her, increase memory points, and lay the foundation for future interactions.

Also, you need to carefully consider your attitude towards future colleagues and female superiors...

At the beginning, try to keep a low profile and give people a sense of being law-abiding. When necessary, pretend to be a stupid bumpkin to reduce the vigilance of future colleagues. In short, just develop in a humble way for the time being.

However, these can be adjusted flexibly when you meet the person in person later and can be discussed based on the circumstances.

After thinking it over, Ji Yunqing finally had an idea in his mind.

She began to think about the original owner.

Combined with the original owner's memory, this is a dynasty that has never existed in history.

The original owner is eighteen years old this year. His biological mother died early. His father later married a second wife and gave birth to a son and two daughters. His father did not care about him and his stepmother was indifferent to him. Under such circumstances, the original owner's living environment can be imagined.

You can refer to the small bag she was holding in her arms just now. It can be said that the family is penniless!

In addition, she also has a childhood sweetheart fiancé.

That man was my stepmother's nephew and had been living in her house since he was a child.

Originally, he only needed to wait for his fiancé to pass the imperial examination so that he could marry her in style.

Not long ago, after completing his term of office, Magistrate Ji returned to the capital with his entire family to report on his work. Suddenly one day, he announced that Prince Zhao's palace was selecting a concubine, and he happened to pick the original owner, who would enter the palace five days later.

Of course the original owner was unwilling, as she already had a fiancé, so she protested in various ways at home, but to no avail.

So, the two lovers agreed to escape at night.

But the other party did not show up that night. The original owner was panicked and anxious and decided to escape by himself.

Not long after she ran away, the original owner was discovered. In desperation, she simply jumped into the river and committed suicide.

When he was rescued, the core of his body had been replaced by a new person.

Ji Yunqing pursed her lips and stared blankly at the embroidered pattern of hundreds of sons and grandsons on the top of the green gauze tent.

It’s good, just think of it as living one more life.

In my previous life, I worked so hard every day, trying to make money for my boss to buy a Rolls-Royce Hallucination. Now I can finally have a good rest.

To be honest, she doesn't need to be pampered too much, so as to avoid working exhaustedly all day and night. It would be better to have another child.

Directly use it for retirement in the future, hehe!

While I was daydreaming, I heard a noise in the yard.

Then there was the voice of a maid bowing and greeting: "Greetings, Your Majesty"

Ji Yunqing sat up suddenly, tilted his head and looked out through the paper-covered window. What was going on?

The prince actually came to her first?

She quickly stood up and carefully sat down on the edge of the bed, but felt that it was not appropriate, so she stood up again and walked towards the door. After taking a step, she turned back and quickly patted the wrinkles she had just made on the mattress.

After seeing that everything was tidy, he turned around and walked out with peace of mind.

When she looked up, she saw a strange, handsome adult man standing at the door of the room, looking at her with interest.

"My Lord, when did you come?"

At this time and place, the only person who could come here was the prince, whom County Magistrate Ji had repeatedly ordered to serve well.

I don’t know if he saw what happened just now. Ji Yunqing’s face turned red in an instant, and she explained in a panic: "Your Highness, I heard you were coming just now, so I quickly made the bed..."

Ji Yunqing wished he could bite off his tongue.

Bah, it sounded like she was going to invite the prince to do something.
