Chapter 81: Formerly Fiancés Meet
Listen to this time!
Ji Yunqing fell silent.
what's going on?
Has it become a common custom for everyone to take action after King Zhao comes to her?
If King Zhao comes every day, we can all wash ourselves and get ready to die together!
Seeing that Ji Yunqing didn't say anything, Mei Shiqi deliberately said, "Sister Ji, we are all sisters from the same mansion. Do you want to go see Jian Shiqi? I don't know how Jian Shiqi is doing now."
"Okay, let's go and take a look." Ji Yunqing also became interested. She wanted to see who was causing trouble this time.
The two agreed on a time, and Concubine Mei left in a happy mood.
As soon as she walked out of the courtyard, Mei heard a voice from the courtyard behind her: "Master, are you going to tell the prince that Mei said you are pregnant?"
This sentence was a bit difficult to understand. Concubine Mei didn't wait long before she heard Ji Yunqing's words: "Of course you have to say it, but not now. I'll say it when I'm greedy. Lose weight first!"
Concubine Mei: “…”
She wanted to go back immediately.
Ximei grabbed him and said, "Sister, don't be anxious. Let her speak. She definitely won't dare."
After the two walked away, Ji Yunqing waved his hand and announced domineeringly: "Let's go back to the room!"
The next day, Ji Yunqing changed into another loose and figure-revealing dress and appeared at the small pavilion outside the yard with daylilies.
This was the place where she had an appointment with Concubine Mei yesterday.
After waiting for a while, Ji Yunqing became a little impatient, then he saw Ximei trotting over, her face full of anxiety.
"Master Ji, my sister had a fever this morning, so I'm afraid she can't go. But she specifically asked me to send someone to say hello to Concubine Jian yesterday, so you can go there without worry today."
After a pause, she continued, "My sister said that since we have already made an appointment, it would be inappropriate not to go. I would like to trouble Master Ji to help my sister to say hello to Concubine Jian."
It seemed that Ximei was very concerned about the situation of Concubine Mei. After she finished speaking quickly, she left quickly.
Watching her gradually disappearing figure, Xuancao couldn't help but ask, "Master, shall we go visit Concubine Jian now?"
Ji Yunqing looked at her and asked in confusion: "What are you looking at? Do you believe she really has a fever?"
Hemerocallis tentatively asked: "...It should be true, right?" Is there any need to refuse when visiting a patient?
"It should be possible to visit a patient normally, but have you heard any news about Concubine Jian being ill during this period?"
Daylily thought about it carefully: "Really not."
However, their courtyard is really remote, and they haven't yet resumed paying respects to the princess, so it's normal that some news is not available, right?
Ji Yunqing continued to analyze: "There must be something wrong here, we can't just go there rashly." Didn't you see that Concubine Mei brought it up, didn't she even want to go herself?
As for Ximei's words that it would be inappropriate not to go since she had already given notice, Ji Yunqing didn't believe a word of it.
Even if we take a step back, even if they agreed not to go, it was Concubine Mei who didn't go, so what does it have to do with her?
Ji Yunqing went back briskly.
Just when he was about to ask Concubine Zhao for another piece of music to practice the piano, he saw Concubine Zhao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, riding on the top of the wall. She ignored the shouts of the maids below, and the two old women outside also kept urging Concubine Zhao to come down.
Following the sound, Ji Yunqing looked up with some confusion: "What are you doing?"
Seeing Ji Yunqing, Concubine Zhao was delighted, "Concubine Ji, you are here. It's been a long time since we last met."
Before, the two of them were separated by a wall and rarely saw each other.
She ignored the advice of others, stood up from her seat on the wall, trembling, put one hand on her brow, and looked into the distance.
After a long sigh, he said, "Alas, it's still better outside. I'm tired of looking at the inside of this yard."
When she saw Ji Yunqing coming, the old woman felt as if she had been pardoned and kept begging her to help persuade her.
Ji Yunqing frowned and looked at Concubine Zhao, thinking that she was fine.
but……
Ji Yunqing looked at her belly. Logically speaking, Concubine Zhao was older than her, so why was her belly not noticeable?
Is it because of poor eating and drinking during the lockdown?
She was a little hesitant, not knowing whether she should tell the prince and ask him to ask the palace doctor to take a look.
Just as I was thinking about it, the maid from the princess's courtyard came over and said, "The princess has ordered Concubine Zhao to go to the main courtyard."
"The princess wants to see me," Concubine Zhao laughed happily, "Finally, she wants to see me."
Seeing this, Ji Yunqing planned to go back quietly. The princess was the mistress of the mansion and a woman who had given birth to a child. She should understand Concubine Zhao's situation better than her.
Unexpectedly, the maid turned around and looked at her: "Before coming here, the princess specifically instructed that everyone present should be invited over. Please trouble Concubine Ji to go with me."
Ji Yunqing: "...I just got here and haven't done anything!"
The little maid said calmly: "This is the princess's order."
"Can I not go?"
"Master Ji, this is the princess's order."
Ji Yunqing was helpless: "...Okay!"
Why did she have to come over at this time? She's really lazy!
Now, she could fool Concubine Mei in her own courtyard, but when she went to the princess' courtyard, there would surely be many women who had been pregnant and had given birth. How could she successfully fool people then?
It’s depressing just thinking about it!
Following behind, Ji Yunqing wondered from time to time whether she should just find an excuse to run away?
Need to pee?
She shook her head and said no, no.
It wouldn't take her a whole day to go to the toilet. What if the princess asked her to go to the toilet first before going?
Just as I was daydreaming, the group stopped.
Ji Yunqing came back to his senses and looked at the familiar environment in disbelief: "Are we here already?"
Isn't this too fast?
Xuancao was puzzled and whispered, "Master, this is indeed the main courtyard."
Ji Yunqing said silently: "I know"
If only I could get up in the morning and go to the main courtyard to punch in, it would feel that fast.
The master and servant asked and answered each other, and he was the last one to enter.
Looking at the two maids waiting for her at the door, Ji Yunqing hesitated, feeling that today was not a suitable day to visit.
Just as he was hesitating, footsteps sounded behind him, and a charming and unfamiliar female voice sounded, as if sighing: "Concubine Ji, we finally meet!"
Ji Yunqing's forehead tightened and he went to look at the person who came.
She has a face as beautiful as a flower, skin as white as a glow, a crescent-colored dress with wide sleeves, and everything from her hair to her heels is exquisite. She looks like a fairy who has descended to earth.
What a coveted beauty!
Ji Yunqing secretly sighed in his heart. Just looking at his appearance, who could have imagined that this man was a real man half a year ago?
The person who came was her ex-fiancé and current rival in love.
Ji Yunqing performed perfectly: "Miss Chengcheng? Oh no, now she is Zeng's concubine.
Concubine Zeng, we are both the prince's women, serving him together, so we should be as close as a family. How about I call you Sister Zeng?"
My younger sister...
Zeng Cheng was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. What kind of a weird name is this?
This little bitch!
The system was still reminding me frantically, "You are indeed sisters now. Don't be angry or upset. Do you want to defeat her? I can help you. It's very simple."
