Chapter 18 The Prince is Coming
After going around in a big circle, it was finally Ji Yunqing's turn.
A young eunuch came over to say hello in advance: "Master Ji, the prince will be here tonight."
Upon hearing this, the maids in the yard became nervous.
Hemerocallis calmed herself down and said, "Thank you, eunuch." As she spoke, she took out the red envelope that she had prepared long ago from her sleeve and handed it over.
After receiving the red envelope, the eunuch smiled more sincerely, and revealed a little: "Your Highness has been in a bad mood recently."
That's it!
After hearing the news, Hemerocallis became even more polite to the eunuch.
After sending the person away, Xuancao turned around and urged: "Master, I will go to the kitchen to get some hot water now, please wash and dress up quickly."
Ji Yunqing looked at the sky speechlessly, "It's broad daylight, there's still time to do it later."
"Then you should prepare in advance? I will go and dry the quilt in the sun."
Xiuqiu also said, "I will soon finish embroidering the double fish bellyband I made for you. It will be just right for you to wear it tonight."
The younger Hong Xing and Hong Dou were called by Xuan Cao to lavender clothes for their master. At this moment, only Ji Yunqing heard these words.
She rolled her eyes and said, "It's nicely embroidered. Why don't you embroider a gauze bellyband?"
Who would have thought that these words would actually give Xiuqiu inspiration, and she was very excited: "Master, you are right, I will go back and make it for you right away!"
Seeing that Xiuqiu took it seriously, Ji Yunqing hurriedly stopped her: "Go away, I was just talking nonsense."
"Master, you are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense!"
By the evening, Hydrangea had finally finished putting on a set of gauze vests. She used the gauze she bought on the street to make the outer layer of her clothes. It was a light green gauze vest and the pants were of the same color.
The simple wintersweet embroidery above is dotted with red plum blossoms, but it just covers a few key points, revealing something that looks particularly attractive.
Ji Yunqing’s comment is that the effect of wearing it is the same as not wearing it.
She changed her clothes by herself hiding in bed. She didn't have the courage to wear it and stand in front of the maid.
"I don't want to wear this dress anymore, I want to wear normal clothes!"
After Ji Yunqing finished speaking angrily, he hid in the bed again and changed into the normal clothes prepared by Xuancao.
As for the ball of cloth, she just rolled it up and stuffed it deep into the quilt, out of sight, out of mind.
Seeing that she was embarrassed, Hemerocallis Hydrangea did not dare to persuade her anymore. After the master left the room, no one went to look for the "dress" hidden in the quilt.
When King Zhao arrived in the evening, he saw Ji Yunqing and his servants standing at the gate of the courtyard to greet him from a distance.
"The weather is still cold now, why don't you go inside and wait for me?"
As he spoke, he took Ji Yunqing's white and tender hand with his big hand, and it was indeed icy cold.
Ji Yunqing raised her eyes and smiled gently at King Zhao: "I am not cold, I am hoping to see the prince soon!"
This is the perfect appearance she should have. The previous ones where she got the wrong script should have been deleted!
Delete!
King Zhao was a little surprised: "Why are you so well behaved today?"
Ji Yunqing thought to himself, see, King Zhao didn’t play by the rules before and couldn’t see my excellence at all!
But she said, "My Lord, I have always been so obedient, not just today."
King Zhao said this, taking Ji Yunqing's hand and walking into the yard.
"Is my beloved concubine really so obedient? How come I don't know?"
Ji Yunqing really doesn’t want to talk. If you can’t see her good points, then you are blind!
Is there a second answer?
"Your Majesty, have you eaten yet? It's still early, why don't you eat something first?"
King Zhao had indeed not eaten yet. He nodded and said, "Let's eat first."
用膳
What a high-end vocabulary!
Ji Yunqing kept it in mind and decided to say the same thing in the future.
Now it’s time to enjoy the prince’s meal!
Ji Yunqing was extremely excited. She had never tasted the prince's food before, so it must be delicious.
Then, she saw the beautiful maid bring in basins with warm water, cold water, hot water, towels, dry towels, wet towels, and other operations that Ji Yunqing was dazzled and didn't quite understand.
Eunuch Shi on the side gave a hint to Ji Yunqing who was standing there in a daze, amazed.
go!
What is this master still standing there for?
Go quickly!
"Ah? Oh!"
Ji Yunqing was confused for a moment, then an idea suddenly came to his mind and he gave Eunuch Shi an approving look.
As expected of Eunuch Shi, the worms around the prince are really powerful.
She took a step forward and followed King Zhao's movements.
When the other person finished washing his hands, she also washed her hands with the water. She quickly took the towel that the other person had used to wipe her hands.
When the other person applied soap, she also applied soap. When the other person washed his hands again, she followed suit...
Later, King Zhao brought the fragrant tea, took a sip, and then spit it out and rinsed his mouth.
Then she looked at Ji Yunqing and asked him to use this mouthwash tea. What would she do?
Ji Yunqing stared at the teacup in Prince Zhao's hand for two seconds, then looked at Prince Zhao.
A confused look on her face: "My Lord, where is my share? Don't I have any?"
King Zhao: “…”
Everyone: "..."
After she asked, she quickly came up with a solution: "Hemerocallis, bring me a cup of tea."
Hemerocallis gritted her teeth and brought the tea.
Eunuch Shi covered his head with his hands, suffering from a splitting headache.
Wrong, all wrong!
This season, the master should have helped the prince wash and dress.
Fortunately, King Zhao didn't say anything, and the two of them had their meal soon.
Ji Yunqing sat next to King Zhao, holding the bowl and looking excitedly at the dishes on the table.
She also knew the rules, and that King Zhao should be the first to pick up his chopsticks.
King Zhao picked up a piece of vegetable and ate it slowly.
Ji Yunqing held the bowl and was reserved at first, but when he got into his eating mood, he started to show off his food crazily.
King Zhao looked at her with suspicion, wondering if someone had withheld her food on a regular basis?
He couldn't help but look at Eunuch Shi, who was also confused.
I have never heard of anyone in the palace daring to deduct money from their master, even if they are a concubine.
Let’s go back and check.
Ji Yunqing picked up a piece of squirrel mandarin fish with chopsticks. She liked the sour and sweet taste. She also picked up a piece of soy sauce pig's trotter with chopsticks. She liked the soft and sticky texture.
She took another bite of braised pork ribs, she liked the rich taste, and then took another bite of shredded pork with green pepper, she liked the refreshing taste.
She took another piece of spicy tofu with chopsticks. She liked this kind of spicy tofu. She took another piece of spicy tofu with chopsticks...
In a word, she likes to eat everything!
Finally, he served a bowl of soup.
When King Zhao saw the soup, his scalp went numb.
No one knows what he went through during this period.
Fortunately, Ji Yunqing served it for herself.
After gulping down the drink in one gulp, Ji Yunqing felt very comfortable.
Finally remembering that the prince was sitting next to her, she turned her head and asked, "Prince, are you full?"
King Zhao nodded, his whole body calm and composed, like a banished immortal: "I'm done eating."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yunqing picked up his chopsticks and unceremoniously took the untouched meatball from King Zhao's bowl: "Then you won't eat this lion's head either, right?"
It hasn't been touched yet, it would be a waste to just throw it away. Eat it!
King Zhao: “…”
Why does he always find something unexpected in every yard he goes to!
