Chapter 8 Silver Reward
King Zhao: “…” I am poor too!
"Prince"
Seeing his expression, Ji Yunqing did not dare to ask for too much, so she could only quietly stretch out her hand: "I want five taels of silver, no, ten taels, ten taels is enough."
If you don’t give more, you should give less, right?
Sure enough, King Zhao nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I'll give it to you."
"Great!"
As soon as he finished speaking, King Zhao saw the beautiful concubine cheering happily, looking at him with sparkling eyes, and hugging his arm excitedly.
Then he thanked her incoherently: "Thank you, my lord. It's great. It's great to have you."
Who knows?
This kind of emotional value is maxed out!
King Zhao was satisfied with her joyful reaction.
He subconsciously thought that this woman was really not smart enough. He was already here, but she didn't take the opportunity to ask for more.
It's just a small thing, and you're so happy?
After achieving the goal, Ji Yunqing did not stay any longer and said considerately: "My Lord, you are a man who is going to do great things, and I dare not delay you."
After saying this, the prince was even more satisfied.
Although this woman seems a little stupid, she knows the big picture and knows when to advance and retreat, which is very good.
Before leaving, he did not forget to say: "Well, not bad, go back and practice your handwriting. I will check it next time you come."
Ji Yunqing: “…”
Practice calligraphy?
What's wrong with her handwriting?
Isn't that great?
It is impossible to practice calligraphy!
After writing like this, no one will ever be able to ask her to copy Buddhist scriptures!
As soon as he walked out of the yard, Shi Yan felt something strange about the prince's waist, so he took a closer look.
The prince's precious belt was tied in a mess, and no one knew how Concubine Ji put it on.
He exclaimed: "Your Majesty, let me help you fix your belt."
If the prince goes out with this belt on, he will probably be laughed to death by others.
It would have been a good thing that he was not reminded. When King Zhao looked down, he was so angry that he almost laughed.
It's really useless.
Doesn't she know how to serve her husband well in advance?
It was a pity that he had just thought of giving the woman some more pocket money, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary.
King Zhao said coldly: "Shi Yan, give your master Ji a hundred taels of silver, no need to give more!"
Shi Yan: “…”
But master, Master Ji only asked for ten taels of silver.
After sending the person away, Ji Yunqing turned around and went back to sleep.
Seeing Hemerocallis standing aside, she did not forget to praise him: "You did a good job today. You reminded me to ask for things."
However, Xuancao had a sad face and felt extremely sad in her heart: the master was so bold that he actually dared to ask the prince directly for things.
What’s even more puzzling is that she is going to succeed?
Can her future really be good following such a bold master?
"correct"
Ji Yunqing suddenly remembered something and sent the other three away, leaving only Xuancao alone.
She sat down and planned to chat with the other party first: "When I talked about your family yesterday, I saw that you looked unhappy. Did something happen?"
Hemerocallis was surprised. She didn't expect that her master would even notice this and remember it.
After thinking about it, there was nothing wrong with saying this. "Master, my mother is seriously ill and it will cost a lot of money, so I am a little worried."
She originally wanted to behave better and wait for the new master to reward her with money.
Unexpectedly, the new master was even poorer than her and was willing to save even old cloths. This made Hemerocallis at a loss.
"That's it!"
Ji Yunqing nodded: "How much silver do you need? Is ten taels of silver enough? If I had known, I would have asked for more."
Ten taels of silver?
Xuancao looked up in shock. Wasn’t the amount of money that the master asked the prince for ten taels this morning?
The master actually asked for it specifically for her?
Of course, it was impossible that he asked for it specifically for her. Ji Yunqing was thinking that he had some money in his hands after all, so he had some confidence.
But now, she said without blinking, "I didn't have time to ask you yesterday, and I was worried about your family's difficulties, so I boldly asked the prince for money, but I didn't expect it was still not enough."
It’s actually true.
Xuancao's breathing stagnated. She had only followed her master for a few days. How could she have deserved this?
The master was so bold because of her.
"Master, ten taels of silver is enough, enough!"
Daylily cried with joy.
My mother's illness has lasted for so long because we have no money to buy medicine, and she can only take some cheap herbs to deal with it. I thought she could only save money slowly, but I didn't expect the master to be so good to her.
She suddenly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master. Master, you are so kind and gracious. From now on, I will be loyal to you and never have any second thoughts."
"Good girl,"
Ji Yunqing helped the person up and said, "I'm just helping you, it's nothing. You are my maid, if I don't help you, who else can help you?
If you encounter difficulties in the future, please tell me in time, and I will find a way to solve them if I can.”
Although they had been together for a short time, she could see that Hemerocallis was a good girl and had helped her a lot.
Besides, ten taels of silver can save a life and let a girl have a mother, it is worth it.
Anyway, the palace provides food and accommodation.
Xuancao knew her master's intention, so she advised her master: "Master, don't be so reckless in the future. What if you anger the prince?"
"Not that serious?" Ji Yunqing was surprised. She asked for ten taels of silver. He was such a great prince, he would just not give it to her at most. Was it necessary to make her angry?
You have to feed a dog, right?
Hemerocallis choked, "Master, you want to compete for favor."
Unexpectedly, Ji Yunqing's reaction was even stronger: "Last night and this morning, wasn't that considered competing for favor?"
She clearly fought for it!
They also fought for clothes and silver.
Hemerocallis: “…” Master, do you have any misunderstanding about competing for favor?
After a sound sleep, Ji Yunqing was eating breakfast when he heard servants from the front yard coming over.
Ji Yunqing took a look and said, "Eunuch Shi, why are you here to see me off?"
Eunuch Shi is a favorite of the prince, and has served him closely in the palace since childhood. Why would he send him to deliver something to her?
Is she so impressive now?
"Master Ji, this is the cloth given to you by the prince. It is made of cotton and a piece of leather. Where can you put it?"
Ji Yunqing happily instructed: "Put it on the table, I want to see it later!"
Hemerocallis also said that she didn’t fight. How could she have had an extra piece of skin if she hadn’t fought?
This was all gained by her wooing for favor.
"Huh? What is this?"
Ji Yunqing noticed something was wrong, "Eunuch Shi, did you take the wrong one? Why are there still the prince's clothes?"
"That's right, that's right"
Shi Yan actively introduced: "Master Ji, this is what the prince specifically ordered. He wants you to practice how to dress the prince. Don't make mistakes again in the future."
Thinking about what happened this morning, Shi Yan didn't want it to happen a second time from the bottom of his heart.
Ji Yunqing: “…”
Once again, I asked a soul-searching question: Doesn’t the prince have hands himself?
