Chapter 105 Confinement
The full moon banquet didn't need a little concubine like Ji Yunqing to attend, let alone require her to worry about it.
However, Hemerocallis specifically inquired and told her that the young master had performed well and everyone praised him for growing strong.
Ji Yunqing's confinement was over, which meant her vacation was over. She had to get up early every day to pay her respects to the princess.
The others started getting up early every day to pay their respects after the two concubines had finished their confinement. Concubine Jian started a few days later, so she was the last one to do so.
After all, the reason the princess gave them the holiday was because there were many pregnant women in the palace at that time. Now that they have given birth, they naturally cannot be lazy any longer.
Ji Yunqing got up early in the morning and abandoned the low-key and honest style chosen for her by Nanny An. She ordered a set of clothes in the color of sunny days after rain. It was fresh and elegant, and coupled with her slightly plump figure, it was particularly charming.
Since she came to the palace, with the occasional sponsorship from King Zhao and Xiuqiu's continuous efforts, her clothing categories have gradually increased and she no longer has to save fabric like she did before.
So you can choose clothes to wear at any time.
After putting on this outfit, Ji Yunqing instantly changed his appearance, and everyone couldn't take their eyes off him.
Nanny An looked at her master with worried eyes, not understanding why she wanted to wear such a nice outfit. What if she angered the princess and she deliberately made things difficult for her master?
She thought so and gave such advice.
"Master, how about we wait until the prince comes before wearing this dress? You have to pay your respects to the princess today." You should be more low-key.
Ji Yunqing smiled slightly and said softly, "Don't worry, Mammy. Even if I wear a torn sack today, the princess will still dislike me. After all, we have been hiding for so long."
Nanny An: “…” What you said really makes sense!
"Okay, don't worry, Mammy. I'll be fine. Just take good care of Ruirui. This kid really loves you."
The child doesn’t have a full name yet, so Ji Yunqing gave him a nickname, Ruirui, which sounds very auspicious. The child will surely have good luck in the future, how wonderful!
"Yes"
Nanny An nodded without hesitation.
Originally, she planned to look after the young master after the master left, but now that the master had spoken, she would do her best.
It was still Xuancao who followed Ji Yunqing out. The master and servant hadn't walked such a long distance for a long time and were very tired.
It was not easy to see the main gate of the courtyard.
Ji Yunqing stopped and planned to take a rest first. In case the princess made things difficult for her later, she would have enough energy to last for a while, right?
As soon as I stood still, I heard a voice behind me.
"Isn't this Concubine Ji? Why isn't the Fourth Young Master here?"
The one being raised by Concubine Li is the eldest son, the one just born by Concubine Lou is the second, the one born by Concubine Mei is now being raised by Concubine Liu and is the third, and the child born by Ji Yunqing is the fourth.
Ji Yunqing smiled: "Concubine Zhou, long time no see. The Fourth Young Master is still young, so it's hard to bring him out for the time being. I'm sorry to disappoint Concubine Zhou."
She kept thinking in her mind, what was going on?
She had no relationship with this concubine Zhou, so why was she suddenly talking to her?
Little did she know that when Concubine Zhou thought about the fact that others had children but she didn't, she would be very angry.
Previously, something happened between two concubines at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Although it was finally found out to be an accident, King Zhao still punished those involved in the incident.
Among them are four concubines, Zhao, Wang, Qian and Gao. Now the only ones who can go out are Concubine Jian, Concubine Ji, Concubine Liu and Concubine Zhou herself.
What made Concubine Zhou most dissatisfied was that both Ji Yunqing and Concubine Jian gave birth to children, and even Concubine Liu, who had never had children, was lucky enough to have a child, leaving her with nothing!
Sister Liu was blessed because of her good temper, but these two were just lucky and had children just like that.
Among them, the person Zhou Shiqie couldn't stand the most was Ji Yunqing, who was hiding things from beginning to end. How could such an insincere person have a child?
Seeing Concubine Zhou's changing expressions, Ji Yunqing didn't want to stand there any longer, so she simply said, "Concubine Zhou, if there's nothing else, I'll go in first."
Concubine Zhou subconsciously said: "Wait a minute"
Seeing Ji Yunqing looking at her in confusion, Concubine Zhou couldn't think of anything to say, so she could only say aggrievedly: "I'll go in with you."
Just to say this?
Fine!
Ji Yunqing had no objection: "Then let's go."
Concubine Zhou thought to herself that she would let Ji Yunqing go for the time being. When the princess and others saw her, they would definitely give her a good beating. Then she would just have to watch.
Just thinking about that exciting scene made her feel very happy.
As Ji Yunqing walked, he turned his head to look at Concubine Zhou.
He shook his head, not understanding why she was so excited about paying her respects to the princess.
And speed up your pace?
No, if you do this, who can tell whether you are going to pay respects or to have a big meal?
Could it be that since she hasn't been here during this period, has the greeting system changed?
Soon, Ji Yunqing stood in her old position. She looked around and saw that there was no one on her left or right, then she suddenly remembered.
Oh, I’m afraid they won’t be able to come within a year.
At this moment, Concubine Liu took the initiative to say, "Sister Ji, you can stand in front, there is no one over there."
"Thank you, Sister Liu, for reminding me."
Ji Yunqing immediately stood next to Concubine Jian, and opposite them were Concubine Liu and Concubine Zhou.
There are only four concubines left who can stand here. The number of people has been reduced sharply, and Ji Yunqing is a little uncomfortable with it for a while.
She looked across and saw that Concubine Liu was dressed up new today. She looked radiant and her clothes were beautiful, which was very different from her previous inconspicuous appearance.
I couldn't help but praise her: "Sister Liu, you are so beautiful, your clothes are beautiful, and your makeup today is also beautiful, it suits you very well."
Concubine Liu smiled faintly: "Thank you for the compliment, sister Ji, but sister Ji is the one who truly has a face like a lotus and looks like a fairy."
"is it?"
Ji Yunqing said happily: "Everyone says Sister Liu has good taste, I believe your praise!"
"Sister Liu?"
Concubine Zhou couldn't believe it. Wasn't Sister Liu worried yesterday that Concubine Ji was insidious and shameless?
Concubine Liu gave Concubine Zhou who was standing next to her a helpless look. Concubine Zhou immediately understood that it was Ji Yunqing's shamelessness that forced Sister Liu to act according to the circumstances.
Ji Yunqing is such a villain!
Ji·villain·Yun Qing forced Concubine Liu to praise herself more. When Concubine Liu was about to get to the point, other concubines arrived.
Okay, end of topic.
The person who came was Concubine Xu Shu. She sat in her seat and waved to Ji Yunqing leisurely.
"Come here, let me see"
Ji Yunqing looked around and realized that Concubine Xu was looking at her, so she slowly walked forward.
Concubine Zhou watched the fun and said, "Sister Ji, stop looking. Sister Xu is talking about you. Go over there quickly. Don't make Sister Xu wait anxiously."
"Who are you calling sister? I don't have any younger sisters," said Concubine Xu in a lazy voice.
Concubine Zhou's face turned pale instantly.
How could she have just forgotten Concubine Xu Shu's temper?
At this time, Concubine Liu spoke up: "Xu Shufei, it was just a slip of the tongue by Sister Zhou just now. Please be magnanimous and don't take it as an offense."
Concubine Zhou looked at Concubine Liu with gratitude on her face.
Sister Liu is still the best to her.
When the prince goes to live with Sister Liu in the future, and Sister Liu is too old to sleep with him, she can completely nominate herself to serve him.
Concubine Xu Shu didn't even look at the two of them: "Alright, I'm not generous, I just need a purse, ask her to make one for me, as an apology."
Concubine Liu breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Concubine Shu"
It’s great to make purses. Who doesn’t know how to make a purse? If you really can’t, she has a lot of ready-made ones.
"I'll ask Lancao to tell you what you want, and send the purse over tomorrow."
The smiles on Concubine Liu and Concubine Zhou froze on their faces.
tomorrow?
Who can make a purse in one day?
Simple ones are fine, but is it the simple ones that Concubine Xu Shu asked for?
Now Concubine Xu Shu no longer paid attention to them, and instead urged Ji Yunqing: "Why haven't you come over yet?"
Ji Yunqing, who was trying to compete with the snail: "..."
Those two people are not a good deal. If they start a fight, then she won’t have any chance of survival, right?
I'd like to ask for a day off from everyone. That's all for today.
