Chapter 67 Lifting the Ban
Ji Yunqing didn't know that Prince Zhao and Miss Chengcheng had a falling out.
She thought it was that nagging girl who went back to file a complaint, and King Zhao was furious for his beloved, intending to vent his anger for his little beauty!
Thinking of this, Ji Yunqing's eyes dimmed in an instant: "My Lord, are you here to vent your anger for Miss Chengcheng?
Miss Chengcheng brought people to beat me for no apparent reason, are you going to beat me too?"
King Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly. There was actually such a thing.
He strode forward and soon arrived in front of Ji Yunqing: "How come?"
At this time, one of them was standing inside the door, and the other was standing outside. Ji Yunqing was half-believing and half-doubting: "Really? Your Majesty, will you promise not to hit me? Or punish me?"
King Zhao was speechless: "Why should I hit you?"
After looking at King Zhao carefully for a few times, Ji Yunqing hesitantly moved away and invited King Zhao in.
"Your Highness, you came at the perfect time. These maids just made some vegetable porridge. Would you like some too?"
Vegetable porridge is made by adding various vegetables to the cooked white porridge and seasoning it with salt. It is simple to make and looks ordinary.
But Ji Yunqing likes to eat very much. To be more precise, she has a good appetite and likes to eat everything.
I looked at the full pot of vegetable porridge with reluctance. Should I really give a bowl to the prince?
Give him one bowl and you will eat one bowl less.
King Zhao looked at the huge pot of mess with disdain and said, "No need...wait a minute."
He suddenly realized that after he refused, the woman in front of him actually showed a look of relief, and he immediately changed his mind: "Give me a bowl."
Ji Yunqing: “…”
It's a waste to give it to him!
Suddenly thinking of something, Ji Yunqing came over and hugged the other's arm affectionately: "My Lord, please stay for dinner today.
I want to eat braised spareribs, pickled fish, braised pork ribs, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, Xianghe meat pie, braised duck with basil, salted duck, twice-cooked pork, braised pig's trotters with soybeans, and squirrel fish..."
Ordered a dizzying array of meat dishes.
Ji Yunqing swallowed his saliva while ordering the dishes, feeling greedy.
There was no way. She had been eating vegetarian food for a long time. She didn't feel anything when she didn't see him, but when she saw King Zhao, she started to feel greedy.
No wonder everyone loves to compete for favor, it turns out they are competing for the walking menu!
King Zhao was so angry that he laughed, "When I came here, did you only think about eating?"
Ji Yunqing shamelessly asked him back: "If I don't eat something good, how can I have the energy to eat you, Your Majesty?"
With just these few words, King Zhao instantly regained the feeling he had before leaving the palace.
That's it!
Yes, this king should be so popular.
Where he couldn't see, Ji Yunqing rolled his eyes fiercely.
I'm really impressed. She couldn't even bear to eat his food and even asked her to work overtime at night. Didn't that little devil Cheng Cheng suck all the yang energy out of this guy?
However, Ji Yunqing had no plans to sleep with me today.
She plans to have a free meal!
So, after a fierce meal, Ji Yunqing began to pull King Zhao aside to "reminisce the past".
"My Lord, since you are here today, does that mean I am no longer under house arrest?"
"Your Majesty, I never knew there were so many gossipers in our house. They are almost as good as the toothless old women at the entrance of the village!
Is this entire Zhaowang Mansion actually a poor place full of bad water and a bunch of unruly people?"
King Zhao's face darkened: "Ji, how can you talk like that?"
Ji Yunqing had a good reason: "While you were away from the mansion, the servants in the mansion spread rumors that we slept together at night to kill the heir of the royal mansion? As a result, I was confined to my house.
So, don’t you know whether you can have children or not?”
King Zhao was silent: "Alright, let me handle this matter. You don't have to be confined to your house any longer."
"Really? That's great!" Ji Yunqing smiled widely.
She ran into the yard like a gust of wind and announced to several maids: "We are no longer under ban!"
Then he ran back to the room and turned around happily several times, like a bird just out of a cage: "Your Majesty, I am free from the ban and can go out to play!"
As King Zhao watched, his mood also improved.
"Okay, I know you're free, sit down."
Ji Yunqing sat down excitedly, with a trace of worry between his brows: "My Lord, after I am released from the ban, you will not let me go to your door to vent my anger on Miss Chengcheng, right?"
She shuddered: "No, no, no, Your Majesty, you know me. I don't like to be bullied."
King Zhao frowned and explained seriously: "Chengcheng is a simple and kind girl, don't think too badly of her."
Ji Yunqing stared at the blind King Zhao in amazement: Is this a simple and kind-hearted girl who broke three wooden bolts with one kick?
"Your Highness, can you tell me what's happening outside the palace? We actually need Miss Chengcheng to save us. Is it particularly dangerous outside? Your Highness is really having a hard time!"
"My Lord, is that Miss Cheng Cheng particularly kind?"
Ji Yunqing talked for a long time and finally succeeded in making King Zhao sleepy. That night, the two of them slept soundly until dawn.
After King Zhao left, Ji Yunqing closed his eyes and did not speak for a long time.
Xuancao gently combed her master's hair, "Master, don't worry too much. She is just a girl with a humble background. At most, she can only be a concubine."
She thought Ji Yunqing was worried about this.
Ji Yunqing came back to his senses and frowned subconsciously: "Xuancao, I was just thinking, I haven't been to Jiangnan, why did that Miss Chengcheng suddenly cause trouble for me?"
It was like, that was someone she once knew.
But how is this possible?
Last night, Ji Yunqing didn't chat with the prince for nothing. He naturally got the location where Miss Chengcheng appeared from him.
But this result is a far cry from where she, or her original self, had lived.
So, the question is, why did Miss Chengcheng suddenly come to her?
Ji Yunqing couldn't figure it out, but Xuancao thought: "Master, maybe this Miss Chengcheng heard that the prince was particularly fond of you before, so she came to you on purpose, right? Didn't Miss Chengcheng also cause trouble for other people?"
It is possible, but not very likely.
She would cause trouble to other people only if she happened to do so, or because those people were pregnant, but she would not do either of these things, at least not on the surface.
"Hemerocallis, although the ban has been lifted these days, you must remind them to be careful and keep a low profile. They should not run around, talk nonsense, or even make friends with others."
Completely eliminate all dangerous behaviors!
"Yes, don't worry, Master."
A few days after Ji Yunqing was released from confinement, everyone in the mansion knew that Miss Chengcheng had fallen out of favor and might leave the mansion soon.
But not long after, the mansion's kitchen received the notice.
On June 6th, the palace will hold a banquet, saying it is a reunion dinner for the prince's return, but in fact it is also to celebrate Miss Chengcheng's true becoming Zeng's concubine.
Here, King Zhao hugged the beauty in his arms and comforted her: "Don't worry, Chengcheng, this position is only temporary. When you give birth to a child, I will definitely promote you."
Cheng Cheng leaned on the other's chest with a weak and affectionate look on her face, and her voice like a lark rang out: "You know, Cheng Cheng doesn't care about those false reputations."
King Zhao was very touched. "Chengcheng is such a good girl who doesn't care about fame or gain. Okay, I'll listen to you and won't promote you!"
Cheng Cheng's body stiffened.
Biting her lower lip with her pearly teeth, Cheng Cheng spoke softly, bringing up another matter: "My Lord, it is said that Concubine Ji will also attend this banquet?"
"Yes! Chengcheng, she is a good girl, sincere and straightforward, without any ulterior motives. You will definitely like her when you meet her.
Believe in me, you two will definitely become good sisters in the future."
After receiving an affirmative reply, Cheng Cheng's smile deepened. This time, this vicious woman could no longer hide!
