Chapter 56: Think about something serious
"Princess, are we...developing a little too fast?"
Ji Yunqing screamed in her heart.
孽 孽!
Would the princess be turned gay by just three sentences from her?
If she had this ability in her previous life, she wouldn't have had to worry about being single for more than 20 years!
Ji Yunqing's mental activities were very active, but his appearance became more honest and sincere.
The princess admired the wonderful expression on the woman's face for a while with satisfaction, and finally spoke compassionately: "It's indeed a little fast, let's talk about it next time we have a chance."
Wait for the next opportunity...
Ji Yunqing clenched his fist silently. Don't worry, there won't be another chance!
She guarantees it with her own moral integrity!
She served the princess a bowl of soup and said carefully as she handed it to her: "Princess, it's getting late. I won't disturb you from resting."
The princess took a sip of soup slowly, put down the bowl and said, "Don't worry."
Ji Yunqing's heart tightened.
What is this nonsense?
Did the princess change her mind? Did she want to keep her?
Ji Yunqing didn't dare to breathe and looked at the princess nervously.
The princess raised her lips and said, "I'm sorry that you were frightened by a false alarm today. It just so happens that there are two new pieces of heavy lotus silk and one piece of fish-tooth silk in the storehouse. I'll give them to you to make clothes."
Ji Yunqing became more and more uneasy because he had to make clothes for her.
It is said that those who can afford it must prepare their dishes carefully and add expensive condiments before eating.
Even when she cooks her favorite dishes at home, she would prefer to change the matching plates and dishes, and add some mint leaves, cherry tomatoes and the like to garnish them.
Was she being treated like a dish?
No, she has to save herself!
Loyalty is something she absolutely cannot change, but she can show her shortcomings appropriately!
Ji Yunqing rolled her eyes and said in a flattering tone, "Princess, that fabric sounds very expensive. Will it look good on me?"
Who doesn't like a flatterer who only says nice things? But I've never seen a tyrant like that kind of person.
This time, she is stable!
As expected, the princess frowned in disdain. "Come on, I know you don't have a good tailor where you are. Don't waste the material. Go and measure the size, and then you can go directly. I'll give it to you when it's finished."
Ji Yunqing was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you, Princess. You are so kind to me."
This is the normal way of getting along!!
She was almost in tears.
Ji Yunqing happily went to the side room to measure the size. Seeing the little maid carefully writing down the size, he couldn't help but said, "Thank you for your help, young lady. May I ask your name?"
The little maidservant was a bit dull: "In reply to Master Ji, I am Ai Cao."
"Artemisia, what a nice name."
She didn't ask any questions and the other party immediately stopped talking.
Ji Yunqing pinched the flesh around his waist and asked in distress: "Am I fat?"
Ai Cao said bluntly: "Yes, a little bit"
"...You don't even know how to say something nice to comfort her."
Ji Yunqing sighed softly: "I have never eaten such good food before. I couldn't help but eat a little more and couldn't stop getting fat. The food here is even better. Look at my little belly."
Others were working seriously and ignored her, but Ji Yunqing tilted her head to look at what Ai Cao had written and even made comments.
"Hey, give me some room here so I can wear it even if I gain weight."
She muttered, "Such expensive material, I need to wear it for a few more years."
"Also, write it a little bigger here. It's okay if it's a little bigger, but if it's too small, I won't be able to wear it."
Ai Cao was so annoyed by her that she had to do as she wished and enlarge it a little.
But Ji Yunqing still had an opinion: "Don't make your belly too big. I'll lose weight during this period of time, and I'll definitely be able to wear it!"
When the measurement was finally completed, the little maid breathed a sigh of relief and fled out of the room.
Master Ji talks a lot.
When Ji Yunqing tidied his clothes and walked out slowly, Nanny Lou and a few maids were waiting outside.
"The princess ordered that you can go back directly. This is the hairpin that the princess personally selected for you. Take a look at it."
Ji Yunqing took a look at the jewelry that the maids placed on the tray. There were not only hairpins, but also some other jewelry, about ten pieces in total, and each one looked exquisite and beautiful.
"This is so beautiful, Madam Lou, I really want to go and thank the princess."
"No need." A smile appeared on Madam Lou's face: "The princess is just tired and is ready to rest. Don't disturb her rashly."
"Is that so? Well then, Madam, thank the princess for me. I will come to pay my respects to her tomorrow."
Ji Yunqing said regretfully, and then his eyes were glued to the jewelry.
She did not hesitate and took off the fabric flowers on her head and the only silver hairpin on the spot.
Just let Xuancao put the hairpins on her head, put on the necklace, armlets and bracelets.
Nanny Lou's mouth twitched as she watched.
I was thinking that the princess actually gave me a box to keep it in, but looking at the situation now, I’m afraid it won’t be needed anymore.
Ji Yunqing didn't care about all that. She wanted to let the princess know in every way that she was just not presentable and she should not fall for her.
After sending this strange master and servant away, Nanny Lou immediately stopped smiling and turned back to her room.
Of course, the princess had not rested yet. She had just finished taking a bath and was reading a book in her hands. Two little maids were kneeling on the ground helping her wipe her long hair.
"Sent away?"
Madam Lou said respectfully, "They have already left."
A candle as thick as a baby's arm was burning quietly on the table. In the silent room, the candle wick made a slight "crackling" sound from time to time. The princess held the book in one hand and gently turned a page.
Nanny Lou was reluctant to move away, but finally couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said, "Princess, if you are interested, I will pick out some better ones for you. Concubine Ji is really a little..." Not presentable.
She has lived to an old age and has served the young lady for half her life, but she really didn't know that the young lady she had watched grow up had this...hobby.
"Or maybe you can find someone who is well-behaved and quiet, and serve you all the time, so you can feel more at ease, right?"
The princess said indifferently: "No need"
Could it be that the princess has really set her sights on that little devil, Concubine Ji?
Nanny Lou was puzzled. Was Concubine Ji very likable?
How come the prince dotes on her, and now the princess wants one too.
Whatever.
But she was just a girl from the backyard, and I fell in love with her.
"Since the princess likes it, shall I ask someone to teach Master Ji the rules?"
The princess finally put down the book in her hand and looked at Nanny Lou.
"Mammy, can't you stop thinking about romantic things? You are not young anymore, you should think about more serious things."
Serious business?
Nanny Lou subconsciously thought that her main job was to serve her master, and making her master happy was her most important thing.
