Chapter 87: A Visitor from Ji Mansion
Hong Xing thought about it slowly, and finally said affirmatively: "Yes, Sister Xiaoru was there last time, and she also said that the master's vegetables are very well grown."
Ji Yunqing then asked: "It seems that Xiaoru has a good relationship with you. She even gave you flowers, which shows that you have been sisters for many years."
"This master is wrong. Sister Xiaoru has only known us for a short time, but Sister Xiaoru is a good person with a good temper. It is said that she is the niece who manages the house."
Even someone as honest as Hongdou can't help but envy people with such a strong backing.
Ji Yunqing roughly calculated that the time Hong Xing mentioned was exactly after she went to the princess's main courtyard that day.
This means that someone saw through it at that time and started to make plans.
But after such a long time, only a pot of flowers was delivered, and it was so obvious. Ji Yunqing was in a state of confusion.
No matter what tricks come next, she has to be more careful.
Now, apart from the two concubines, the only pregnant woman in the mansion is Jian, a concubine who is protected by the princess. This shows how dangerous the situation in this mansion is.
You know, not counting herself, there were seven or eight unborn children!
You wouldn’t know until you calculated it. Once Ji Yunqing finished the calculation, she felt a little scared. Fortunately, she was lucky and had survived until now.
"master?"
Hongdou is not a fool. She understands that her master deliberately kept her here, probably because he wanted to ask her what happened today.
Next, she told him everything that had come to her mind.
Ji Yunqing listened patiently. In fact, the whole thing was quite simple.
Several maids got together to find Xiaoru to play with and help out there, and some flowers were left after they were done.
They were supposed to be thrown away, but Xiaoru felt sorry that the flowers were blooming beautifully and it would be a pity to throw them away, so she asked if anyone liked them.
A few maids thought it was a pity to throw it away, so they divided the things among themselves and took them back.
Needless to say, Ji Yunqing also knew what happened afterwards.
After listening to this, Ji Yunqing comforted the anxious little maid and handed her a plate of cakes: "It's a waste to leave these cakes alone. Eat them and call Hong Xing for help."
Originally, even if the pastries were to be replaced and given to the maids to deal with, they had been stored for a long time and were no longer fresh. How could they taste like fresh, fragrant and soft pastries?
Hongdou happily held the pastry in her hands and retreated like a treasure.
Hong Xing and Hong Dou’s statements are almost the same.
Ji Yunqing also gave her a plate of snacks and said, "I'm sorry I scared you today. Go back and have a good rest!"
As soon as Hong Xing left, Nanny An came back.
She did not come back by herself, but brought a court doctor with her.
When she saw Ji Yunqing, Nanny An remembered that she had been busy reporting to the prince. Later, she thought that she must have a reason to go out, so she deliberately took a detour and brought the court doctor with her.
I didn't tell Master Ji in advance.
For a moment she felt annoyed. She had been out of the palace for so long and she dared to be so careless!
Nanny An hurried to explain.
"Master, I have secretly invited a doctor to come to the palace and have avoided people along the way. You can rest assured."
Ji Yunqing lowered her eyes, her attitude as gentle as ever: "Madam, you are very thoughtful. Please ask the court doctor to take a look. I am also worried that some traces will be lost if time passes."
The court doctor wholeheartedly acted as a tool. He put down the medicine box and went to check the flowerpot, the soil on the ground, and the scattered and broken branches.
After the examination, the doctor bowed and said respectfully, "Master Ji, it is indeed the flower pot that is the problem. If a pregnant woman smells it for a long time, it will cause miscarriage. Not only that, it will also be difficult to have children in the future."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Yunqing put forward his demands.
"Thank you for troubling me today. Can you take my pulse to see if there is anything wrong with my body, and check if there is anything in this yard that is not suitable for pregnant women?"
The court doctor readily agreed.
Take the pulse first
"Master Ji is in good health, just keep it up."
He then walked through each room and the yard, picking out only one or two objects.
"These things cannot be touched for a long time, but everything else is fine, Master Ji, don't worry."
Ji Yunqing said with a look of relief: "It's good that everything is fine. Fortunately, you are here with the court doctor, otherwise I would be worried every day."
Before leaving, Xuancao saw the court physician out and skillfully stuffed a purse into the physician's hand.
"You've worked so hard. It's so hot. The master specially asked me to bring you some tea money. Please don't despise it."
But the court doctor was like facing a great enemy and kept waving his hands.
"What are you doing, young lady? It is my duty to save the world. It is not too hard. Young lady, please take it back!" After saying that, he left quickly.
Who doesn't want money?
However, when he first came to the palace, he had already signed a contract. The monthly salary paid by the palace was very high, and all expenses would be borne by the palace.
But he was not allowed to accept any money or items privately, and he was not allowed to have any involvement with the masters, maids and servants in the mansion.
Generally speaking, he cannot collude with anyone. The palace invited him to be a serious doctor, not to get involved in the harem struggles.
Ji Yunqing and Nanny An were the only ones left in the room.
Nanny An was a little uneasy. She wanted to say something, but Ji Yunqing had already turned his face away.
"Mammy, I'm tired."
In the next two or three days, Ji Yunqing also changed his usual sweet words to Nanny An in private, and his attitude became the same as that towards the little maid in the yard.
And Nanny An, unusually, cared more about her master.
Ji Yunqing was eating a plate of osmanthus cake brought by Nanny An, feeling deeply moved.
Although she doesn't know how to fight in the house or win people's hearts, she knows what a scumbag is!
Be warm and enthusiastic towards the innocent girl first, saying all kinds of sweet words, and then suddenly become cold. What a useful trick.
She can be considered a scumbag for once.
What comes next is all kinds of PUA. I really hope Prince Zhao can be as easy to deal with as Nanny An.
It's a pity that King Zhao is a scumbag, not an ignorant and beautiful girl. If she dares to be cold to him, she will definitely leave directly.
The next day, Ji Yunqing was just about to take the bitter melon and egg soup sent from the kitchen - this was something she had deliberately saved from her own lunch - and plan to give it to King Zhao.
Xuancao suggested doubtfully, "Master, why don't you go to the kitchen and get some other soup? This one is very bitter."
“No, no,” Ji Yunqing quickly waved his hand.
What a joke! She would have to pay extra if she went again. And it just so happened that she didn't want to eat bitter melon. It was really a good deal for King Zhao.
At this moment, a little maid who was running errands outside the yard came over and peeked into the yard.
Xuancao saw this and yelled at her to come over.
"Come here, what do you do?"
The little maidservant was sweating on her forehead. She saluted hurriedly and said, "My master, this sister, I am from the second gate. Someone outside said that Master Ji's family is coming. Do you want to see them?"
family?
Ji Yunqing immediately thought of her stepmother and her second younger sister. Apart from them, she couldn't think of anyone else who could come.
But why did they suddenly come to see her?
Please, my dears, pamper me!
