Chapter 15 Making Friends
King Zhao was greatly pleased with Ji Yunqing's courtesy.
Looking at the man in front of him waiting to be served, Ji Yunqing held the belt in his hand and wished he could hang it directly around the man's neck and strangle him to death.
But she dare not.
At this moment, King Zhao looked up at her with an ambiguous expression in his eyes: "What are you thinking about?"
Ji Yunqing was quick-witted and said quickly: "I was wondering why the prince is so handsome. I am taking advantage of you now."
Help, what the hell is she talking about?
Ji Yunqing lowered his head completely and dared not say anything more. He obediently helped the other party to dress up and even sent him out of the hospital.
With a look of reluctance to leave, she said, "My lord, please take care. I will miss you very much."
In response, King Zhao just nodded and said, "Okay, go back!"
Like shooing away a fly.
Ji Yunqing felt aggrieved: "..." He secretly gave the middle finger inside his sleeve.
After the other person took two steps, Ji Yunqing was about to go back and have fun cheering, but he saw the other person turned his head again.
"correct!"
Ji Yunqing was halfway through her happy gesture when she quickly retracted it, replaced it with an expression full of longing, and said dryly: "My lord, my lord, I've already started to miss you before you left."
King Zhao thought that the expression just now didn't seem like one of missing someone, but he didn't care.
He knew that the eldest daughter of the Ji family had always been an affectionate person. Now that she had entered his backyard, it might not be obvious at first, but as time went by, she would naturally have the same feelings for him, no less than that for her so-called fiancé.
King Zhao had other requests for his concubine: "This time you really need to practice your calligraphy."
He took one look at the Spring Festival couplets on the door and said with disgust: "Don't show off words like this again in the future."
Ji Yunqing's expression was blank: "..."
I almost wanted to rush up and fight this hateful man to the death!
What does he mean?
They had just fallen asleep and their bed wasn't even cold yet, but you already started assigning her homework?
"My Lord, I am just a concubine. I will learn my handwriting slowly."
King Zhao disagreed: "Well, you said you missed me, didn't you? I allow you to miss me. Every time you miss me, you can write a big character. Is that okay?"
What kind of shameless statement is this?
"...Yes, Your Majesty."
Ji Yunfeng strategically evaded the question.
King Zhao felt that this was not enough and said, "I will check it next time I come."
Ji Yunqing: “…”
She endures!
After finally sending the people away, Ji Yunqing returned to his room with a sad heart.
In the afternoon, another piece of bad news came. From tomorrow onwards, all the institutes will resume greeting each other.
Ji Yunqing: “…” You two would kill me!
The next morning, Ji Yunqing got up early and went to pay his respects to the princess!
Doing this every day, even exercising is lost. Ji Yunqing feels that this is not a good way to go.
Exercising like this every day, her body will be healthy, but her mentality will definitely be abnormal.
I was thinking about all sorts of things along the way and soon arrived at the princess' main courtyard.
She was skillfully invited in by the maids in the main courtyard.
Several concubines had almost arrived. Ji Yunqing counted them in his mind and found that one concubine, Zhao, was missing.
The other few people were talking and laughing in low voices, covering their mouths and chuckling from time to time, so the atmosphere wasn't bad.
Ji Yunqing continued the old routine, stood in his own position, closed his eyes and rested silently.
At this time, there was a greeting voice in my ear: "Concubine Ji, long time no see!"
Ji Yunqing opened her eyes and was a little surprised: "Sister Liu, long time no see."
This concubine Liu was quite old, wearing a dark blue dress, and looked fresh and elegant.
Ji Yunqing once heard from Hemerocallis that Concubine Liu was a maid who had served the prince since she was a child, and she was also the prince's first woman. Although she was old now, she still had a relationship with the prince.
It is best to be on good terms with the master, or at least not to offend him.
It’s just that Concubine Liu had always been indifferent to other people before, and Ji Yunqing had no other special relationship with her.
I really didn't expect her to say hello out of the blue.
After thinking about it for a while, Ji Yunqing said without delay: "Sister Liu, you look so beautiful in this dress today, and your hairstyle is also good. It's so well matched. Why haven't I seen it before?"
The smile on Concubine Liu's face was much more genuine: "Sister Ji is really good at joking. I'm already quite old, what's the point of talking about whether I look good or not?"
"It's just beautiful," Ji Yunqing said seriously, "If it's beautiful, it's beautiful. I'm a very honest person and I never lie."
The two of them gradually talked about clothes, jewelry, hairstyles and the like, which attracted several other concubines to come over and listen. The discussion was very heated.
Only after several concubines came over and everyone gathered did they return to their seats and stand still.
Ji Yunqing thought quickly in his mind, what exactly does this concubine Liu mean?
Why are you suddenly trying to get close to her?
But there's nothing special about it?
Is it just finding someone to chat with?
Ahhhhh!
She couldn't think about it anymore, she really couldn't think of anything. She had to wait and see if Concubine Liu would continue to look for her.
If she has a purpose, it will be exposed sooner or later. If she has no purpose, then she will have to live in the backyard for a long time, and it would be nice to have someone to talk to.
"The New Year is almost over," Princess Zhao sat at the top, looking a little tired. It seemed that the New Year period was indeed very busy.
She cheered herself up: "Yesterday, the prince said in advance that you have been away from home for many years and miss your family. It happens to be the New Year, so why not let you reunite with your parents and elders."
Upon hearing this, everyone raised their heads.
What do you mean?
Are they allowed to go home and visit relatives?
impossible?
Ji Yunqing was thinking in his mind, what if someone happened to be pregnant during this period of time and happened to return home, coupled with the astonishing fertility rate in this palace.
——In such a big palace, there is only one boy and two girls, a total of three children.
Tsk!
It’s hard not to have something fishy!
Who can tell what will happen when you go home?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Ji Yunqing was inexplicably reminded that she once had a "fiancé".
There is also that awful pair of stepfather, stepmother and stepchildren. According to the original owner's situation, her biological father is almost the same as her stepfather.
She doesn't want to go back.
Fortunately, Princess Zhao spoke in time: "During the first month of the year, you can ask your family members to come over for a chat, but you must not break the rules. I don't need to explain this, you all understand."
Call someone over!
It was visibly that some of the other people were a little disappointed, but they soon became happy.
It seemed like it would be nice to see my mother again.
Princess Zhao glanced at everyone and finally said, "When the time comes, you should set a time and send someone to the main courtyard to let us know in advance."
"Yes"
Everyone stood up and bowed to express their gratitude.
Ji Yunqing also followed, but she had made up her mind not to invite her family over because she didn't want to see those people.
