Chapter 57 Rumors
The princess asked the maids to leave, and when only Madam Lou was left, she spoke, "Madam, I just tried to feel Ji's pulse, but she dodged it."
The princess's words left Madam Lou completely stunned.
But she quickly adjusted her mindset and understood what the princess wanted to express: "Princess, are you saying that Concubine Ji..." is pregnant?
"No," Madam Lou suddenly realized, "Princess, when did you learn how to take a pulse?"
She had watched the princess grow up since she was a child, how could she not know that the princess could do this?
"Ji doesn't know whether I can take a pulse or not."
Madam Lou: "...I am so short-sighted. I deserve to die. I really thought that you, the princess, were attracted to her."
"However, if Concubine Ji is really pregnant, why didn't you tell us?" Nanny Lou was very dissatisfied that she even hid it from the princess.
Although she knew the situation clearly, there had been unrest in the mansion during this period, with several pregnant women losing their children.
"Alright," the princess didn't want to listen to this nonsense, "Ji's period hasn't come yet, she said that her body is damaged and it will be difficult for her to have children, but who can be sure whether it is true or not?
I suddenly felt like testing you. Go get the piece of paper that measured Ji's body and see if there is any problem."
"Yes, old slave, go right away."
This time, Nanny Lou's legs and feet were extremely flexible. She took the paper herself and handed it to the princess.
"Take a look"
The princess took it and scanned it several times. Apart from being a little fat, there was nothing wrong with the number.
She narrowed her eyes and thought: "Did I guess wrong?"
Lou Ma had been wrong before, so she started to think hard and analyze: "Princess, in my opinion, this concubine is probably not pregnant at all.
She just gained weight, but you didn't notice her useless posture when she ate. She seemed to want to use her huge mouth to swallow the sky, but she only relaxed a little when you, the master, were watching.
How can she not be fat if she eats so much every day? "
The princess glared at her and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Nanny Lou was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.
"I am old and confused. I know I am wrong."
The current emperor is the Son of Heaven, what nonsense is she saying?
The princess ignored Nanny Lou who was kneeling on the ground. She held the page of the book in her hand and was reluctant to turn it over.
Perhaps it was because the time was too young and her pregnancy had not yet begun to show. The princess kept thinking about it and decided to find an opportunity to check it out later.
On the other side, Ji Yunqing brought Xuancao, and the master and servant returned to the yard under the cover of night with the lanterns they brought from the main courtyard.
The next day, Ji Yunqing was still worried that the princess would have any more thoughts about her, but she didn't expect the princess to not even look at her, but made the announcement directly.
"The prince will probably be back next month."
Upon hearing the news, the girls were overjoyed.
The prince will be back soon, and those who were not pregnant before can get ready now.
Then the princess said another sentence.
"There is also a younger sister who came back with the prince this time. She will be our new sister from now on."
New sister?
Everyone's smiles became forced. It's not like they don't have biological sisters, so who wants new sisters?
The princess seemed to be unable to see the expressions of the crowd, and with a hint of smile on her lips, she said, "When the newcomers arrive, everyone must take good care of them."
“We will definitely take care of it”
I'm sure I can take care of people.
"Don't worry, Princess."
Don't worry, I'll make a plan when I get back.
"I don't know what kind of temperament my new sister has. Since she came back with me, she must be very valued by the prince, right?"
What a vixen, she's hooking up with men outside. How can she be decent?
Feeling the murderous aura at the scene, Ji Yunqing wisely hid in a corner, trying his best to reduce his presence.
Oh my god, was this what these women wanted to do to her before she came?
Ji Yunqing's vigilance increased.
If you can deal with her, you can’t deal with me anymore!
Soon, Ji Yunqing realized that she didn't have to worry anymore, because after the big bosses in the house fights had dealt with the newcomers, they would deal with her as well.
Because it has started now.
Ji Yunqing stood expressionlessly on the bluestone path leading back to the courtyard, listening to two little maids gossiping in low voices in the bamboo forest nearby.
"Did you hear that?"
"The concubine Ji in Shouzhuyuan is actually the reincarnation of a star of misfortune. She is unlucky for the prince's family, so the prince has so few children."
"real or fake?"
"Is this kind of thing true? Think about it, did all the unborn children in the palace get into trouble after Concubine Ji slept with them?"
"What does this mean?"
"This is a big problem. It means that the concubine of Mingji will absorb the luck of the prince's offspring in the mansion, so she can be favored. It's a pity for those poor children."
"Shh, don't say that."
"I'm not the only one saying this, everyone says this."
After the two maids finished speaking, they quickly left along another road.
Xuancao looked at her master worriedly: "Master, how are you? Those are all nonsense, they are all false, you must not believe them."
Ji Yunqing shook his head sadly: "Maybe it's all my fault."
Damn it!
She finally understood that since the first time someone in the mansion had a miscarriage, she had been implicated in the plot.
To others it is a miscarriage, but to her it is a direct mental attack. Gossip can only lead to bad words. If this continues, it is hard to guarantee that she will have any reputation at all.
why?
Does she look favored?
Ji Yunqing suddenly changed his steps and turned back quickly.
Xuancao chased after him in confusion: "Master, aren't we going back to the yard? Where are you going now?"
"I'm going to find the princess. I'm going to explain to her that this is not my fault. I'm not the reincarnation of a star of misfortune!"
Ji Yunqing was so shocked that he even stumbled twice. He turned to look at Xuancao for approval: "Xuancao, do you think the princess will believe me?"
Xuancao nodded vigorously, "I will definitely do that. Master, please don't let your imagination run wild. I will go with you to beg the princess to issue an order to forbid people in the palace from discussing this matter."
Not long after the master and servant walked out, many servants they met began to avoid looking at Ji Yunqing, and some even preferred to go around in a big circle to stay away from him.
Xuancao was so angry that she wanted to argue, but the princess hadn’t said anything yet, so what were these people complaining about?
Ji Yunqing stopped her in time: "Don't go, it's useless."
As a result, before the master and servant even reached the main courtyard, they ran into concubine Liu.
Concubine Liu saw the two people from a distance and stopped immediately.
The maid beside her shouted, "Concubine Ji, please step aside, my master is coming over."
Hemerocallis retorted unconvincedly: "Why would my master want to avoid me?"
There are concubines on both sides. If her master avoids them, wouldn't she be at a disadvantage?
It won’t sound good to talk about it later.
"why?"
The maidservant beside Concubine Liu sneered: "A jinx reincarnated, she really thinks she's a big shot, ha!"
Ji Yunqing thought silently.
Oh, this time it’s not the unlucky star, there is actually a version of the unlucky star.
But she absolutely cannot give up this road.
