Chapter 13 Give up the idea
Ji Yunqing happily took away everything that could be packed on the table. She felt a little sorry for the remaining ones because her handkerchief and purse were so small that she couldn't pack them all!
Or should we let Xuancao run back to get the lunch box?
No, no, this distance is too far.
It takes too long to go back and forth.
Just when he was in trouble, Princess Zhao offered to help: "Ruyi, go find a lunch box for Concubine Ji."
"Yes"
Ji Yunqing suddenly raised her head and said with great emotion: "Princess, you are so kind to me. You let me take it with me. No, you let me take it with me.
I wish you a happy new year, happiness, success and everything goes well in the new year. "
Princess Zhao did not comment.
Is everything going well?
I hope it will really be what she wants.
At this time, Ji Yunqing said to Ruyi who was leaving in a familiar manner: "Miss Ruyi, get me a bigger one. A bigger one is fine. The style doesn't matter. I'm not picky."
I felt a little overwhelmed by what Ruyi said.
After all these years of being a maid in the princess's courtyard, this was the first time she felt so...humiliated.
When the lunch box was brought over, Ruyi, who had a strong professional ethics, took the initiative to say, "Master Ji, I will help you get it."
As she spoke, she opened the food box layer by layer and put a plate of persimmon cakes into the food box.
This food box can indeed hold a lot of things. One layer can hold three plates, but there are only three layers in total, which means it can only hold nine plates!
It took Ji Yunqing only a few minutes to figure out the answer, and he began to get anxious.
"I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself."
She took the lunch box and saw that it was cleaned thoroughly. She took out a few spare handkerchiefs and laid them on the bottom of the lunch box.
Then pick up the plate and pour it directly into it.
"crash"
Ruyi was about to say something but stopped herself, thinking that this was not how the housekeeper taught her, but she was simply unable to snatch it away.
I could only watch as Ji Yunqing quickly filled up the bottom layer. At this time, the food box only had a bottom layer filled.
Is this enough now?
This is what Ruyi thought in her heart.
The other concubines who stayed behind to watch the fun thought the same.
Prince Zhao and the Queen, who had been controlled by Ji Yunqing for half a minute before they had the chance to leave, also thought the same thing.
Who knew that Ji Yunqing didn't stop, but shamelessly asked one by one: "My concubine, it's rare that the princess has spoken out to deeply implement the good habit of frugality. Why don't you take some back?"
The jeweled concubine of the king despised her. She was born into a royal merchant family and had never packed up leftovers: "Pack it up yourself."
Ji Yunqing couldn't wait to reply: "Then leave the ones on your table to me!"
Anyway, she didn't want leftovers, and the fruits were clean. Even if she took a bite, it would just be a piece, so she could take it away.
Concubine Wang: "...Okay, I'll give it all to you."
Why do I feel like I've lost out for no apparent reason?
Concubine Ji thanked her and turned to look at Concubine Zhou.
Concubine Zhou had a small round face and was always smiling, looking very happy.
She thought it would be fine to give it to the other party, but she asked inexplicably, "How about leaving half for me?"
After these words were spoken, Concubine Zhou was stunned.
Everyone was also stunned: "..."
Ji Yunqing was too concerned and advised: "Take it away if you like it, no need to leave it for me."
She could always ask someone else.
Afterwards, Ji Yunqing asked Concubine Gao, Concubine Qian, and Concubine Liu.
...As expected, nothing was gained in the end.
They are all concubines and have the same share. Ji Yunqing wants to eat something good, and they don't want to miss this opportunity.
Concubine Jian doesn't need to ask, and Concubine Zhao doesn't want to ask. Is it possible that she can only install such a small two layers?
Hers and the king's concubines's.
At this time, the bright and beautiful Concubine Xu Shu suddenly said, "Concubine Ji, why don't you come and ask me?"
Ji Yunqing said "Ah", and then asked: "What about Concubine Xu's..."
"Take mine too!"
Concubine Xu said with a smile, and felt very satisfied when she saw Ji Yunqing's frustrated look.
As for the other concubines...
The scholarly beauty Concubine Lou looked at Ji Yunqing and smiled faintly: "Take mine with you too!"
Concubine Li, who was always gentle, was also very gentle at this time: "Since you can take it away, I want to take my share too."
Ji Yunqing: “…” No, why are you all taking them away?
As for the concubine, she just raised her eyelids slightly and didn't say a word to her.
Ji Yunqing tactfully didn't ask.
Looking at Concubine Ji's every move, Princess Zhao's original half-want to hold her future child was finally gone!
She simply couldn't imagine that in the future, when she brought her child to a palace banquet, the child would just come to everyone and beg for food with a broken bowl in his hand when he had nothing to do...
——It would be better to kill her directly!
Princess Zhao felt choked for a moment, and she forced a smile, "Okay, stop working, take everything from my table."
She paused and said, "I'll ask a boy to help you carry it later. This thing is heavy."
"Thank you, Princess. You are so kind!"
Ji Yunqing happily filled the food box and finally calmed down.
Princess Zhao: "..."
For some reason, when she saw this scene, she always felt embarrassed for Concubine Ji.
But Concubine Ji herself didn't feel embarrassed at all!
At this time, King Zhao finally withdrew his gaze and said, "It's almost time, go back and prepare!"
He thought thoughtfully, it turns out that Concubine Ji prefers sweet food!
When Ji Yunqing came out, Xuancao saw the little eunuch following behind him, and the other party carrying a heavy food box. She didn't even dare to imagine how embarrassed her master must be in there!
Isn’t she afraid that the master will dislike her and completely fall out of favor?
Ji Yunqing was in a good mood throughout the whole process. After returning to the yard and seeing the people off, she completely let herself go.
"Daylily, hydrangea, red apricot, red bean, take a look, take whichever you like!"
Ji Yunqing put one foot on the stool and patted the food box with the other hand in a domineering manner. This is all the empire I, the master, have built for you!
The four maids couldn't help but feel moved.
Although the master's character is a bit...unruly, he is so good to them.
Hemerocallis held a piece of persimmon cake in her hands, her heart deeply moved.
From now on, she must assist her master well and win the prince's favor as soon as possible!
She swears!
The next second, Ji Yunqing's enthusiastic suggestion rang in my ears: "Xuancao, don't you want to put up Spring Festival couplets? Let's write them first before the New Year is over!"
Write Spring Festival couplets!
Thinking of the chicken claw handwriting of her master, Xuancao refused in her heart. She tactfully suggested: "Master, since this Spring Festival is to prevent the Nian beast, why don't we just draw a talisman?
It’s more creative and more useful.”
Ji Yunqing said with a straight face: "Tell me, do you dislike my handwriting? I just write, and no one is allowed to dislike it!"
