Chapter 110: A new yard!
At last……
Ji Yunqing finally got the big courtyard promised by King Zhao.
The courtyard is called Osmanthus Courtyard, and there is a century-old osmanthus tree in it. Now is the season when the sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom, and you can smell the fragrance of osmanthus all over the courtyard every day when you live there.
It is very pleasant to listen to it while enjoying the cool under the osmanthus tree.
only……
Osmanthus Courtyard is located in front of Qianshi Garden. On one side is Hongmei Residence of Concubine Lou, not far from Concubine Lou is Yale Garden of Concubine Wen, and the neighbor on the other side is Qiu Shui Hall of Concubine Liu, and then there is Qingquanshe of Concubine Zhou.
After seeing King Zhao off, Ji Yunqing recalled the complicated geographical location and interpersonal relationships in his mind.
Tsk!
How did Lao Deng choose his position?
Ji Yunqing gently tapped the little nose of Lao Deng's own son: "Your father really knows how to cause trouble for me!"
But think about it, the place where she lives now is considered a remote suburb, so naturally there are fewer people. The closer to the princess's main courtyard (first ring), the denser the population.
And the place must be bigger than her current one.
the most important is.
My daily commute takes half an hour now, but after I move there, it will only take fifteen minutes, which cuts the time in half!
Thinking of this, Ji Yunqing felt relieved.
In the crib, Ruirui fiddled with his chubby arms and legs, thinking that his mother was playing with him. He smiled with his toothless mouth and drooled.
"Hey, you are really unhygienic"
Ji Yunqing was so disgusted that he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.
Nanny An pleaded for the young master who couldn't speak yet: "Master, the young master is still young, you can't say anything about him."
"Okay, you have Nanny to speak for you, so I won't say anything." Ji Yunqing threw the saliva-stained handkerchief aside and happily decided to let Nanny An wipe his saliva from now on.
In the next few days, Ji Yunqing began to prepare to move to Guihuayuan.
As we all know, moving is not something that can be done casually. Ji Yunqing's eyes turned and he picked up the pen to write a love letter to King Zhao.
After King Zhao received the letter, he felt a little surprised for a moment.
Some people sent him soup, various cakes, clothes, purses and jade pendants, but no one ever wrote him a love letter.
Fortunately that woman was thoughtful!
Eunuch Shi was keenly aware of Prince Zhao's joy and flattered him earnestly, "Master Ji is still very creative. How could I, with my stupid brain, not think of writing a letter to the prince?"
As he spoke, he pretended to slap his own face in annoyance.
King Zhao glanced at him, not moved at all: "What letter did you write to me?"
Can I still watch it?
No matter how many tricks this old servant has, King Zhao will not even look at him.
"Okay, you go down."
King Zhao took the letter with satisfaction and opened it to see what was written inside.
There were about ten thick pages of writing inside, filled with "Qingqing's" thoughts about him, and some of Ruirui's little funny stories interspersed.
Finally, Ji Yunqing finally said, "Your Majesty is very talented. Can you calculate an auspicious day for me?"
She's good at moving.
King Zhao: "Is this moving date just a coincidence?"
Eunuch Shi quickly confirmed: "In my opinion, it is 80% true!"
Ji Yunqing soon received a date. She happily moved there with her people and even booked two tables to celebrate.
After thinking for a while, Ji Yunqing saw that the weather was getting a little cold, and she happily planned: "Let's eat hotpot today, order more meat and vegetables to cook by ourselves, and add dipping sauce at the end, it must be delicious!
Well, let's get a stove and grill the meat while we eat it. It will be better to eat it directly when it is crispy and fragrant than when it is sent from the kitchen and is a little cold."
The Osmanthus Courtyard is nearly twice as large as the original courtyard and is very spacious, so Ji Yunqing decided to set up the venue inside the courtyard.
After listening to her master's request, Xuancao personally took Hongfeng to the kitchen to order food.
When the kitchen staff heard that it was Concubine Ji, who had just given birth to the fourth son of the mansion and was very favored by the prince, who ordered the meal, everyone worked as hard as they could and soon fulfilled all of Ji Yunqing's requirements.
Even if some things cannot be prepared in a short time, other ingredients can be found to replace them.
There were so many things that the kitchen specially ordered two clever little eunuchs to serve and help carry the dishes.
Eight maids sat at one table, and the two wet nurses prepared a separate light meal for breastfeeding.
Ji Yunqing felt it was boring to eat at her own table, so she simply asked Nanny An to sit at her table as well.
With little Ruirui lying next to them to add to the numbers, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Nanny An felt very distressed when she saw that the young master could only look but not eat.
So I took the initiative to propose it.
"Master, otherwise I will take the young master into the house. The young master can't eat now."
Ji Yunqing was not happy: "How can that be possible? Ruirui may not be able to eat it, but it smells good."
"Okay, let's eat quickly."
Ji Yunqing looked expectantly at the bottom of the pot where bubbles were starting to form, his eyes shining, and he picked up his chopsticks, eager to try.
Just wait a little longer. Just wait a little longer.
"The servants pay their respects to the prince."
Ji Yunqing looked away unwillingly and looked at the uninvited guest.
Pretending to be happy, "Why is the prince here?"
King Zhao came over and pinched her soft face: "Why, you don't welcome me?"
“No unwelcome”
Ji Yunqing thought to himself that if you had come a step later, she might have eaten it.
At that time, she must have been a sunny and cheerful little girl.
She pulled Prince Zhao's sleeve with her backhand: "Prince, please sit down and eat the pot. It smells so delicious!"
The pot is boiling, and she must have a bite today.
No one can stop her!
Nanny An had already tactfully moved away when Prince Zhao entered the room.
She quickly replaced a new set of bowls and chopsticks for King Zhao, and the other table was carried to an empty room by the maids.
Then the servants came out to serve the two masters.
The servants didn't dare to eat in the yard with the prince.
King Zhao lowered his eyes and looked at the piece of meat that the other party had diligently put into the bowl. He dipped his bony hands with chopsticks in the sauce and slowly put it into his mouth.
Seeing Prince Zhao eating, Ji Yunqing's eyes lit up and he asked eagerly, "Prince, is it cooked?"
King Zhao: “…Hmm?”
Ji Yunqing immediately changed his tone: "Is it delicious? If you like it, I'll serve you more."
King Zhao never needed her to serve him as he had his own maid to serve him meals. But now, seeing the look on her face that said "Let me eat, let me eat", he changed his mind instantly.
"The dishes that my concubine picked are really delicious. I will trouble you."
When Ji Yunqing heard this, he stared at King Zhao in disbelief.
Then he heard the other party ask with innocent doubts: "Could it be that my concubine is just talking?"
"how come?"
Ji Yunqing quickly ordered half a plate of thin pork belly, half a plate of green vegetables, half a plate of mushrooms, half a plate of dried beans, and half a plate of...
In short, he cooked all kinds of fish. When they were cooked, he quickly scooped a bowl for King Zhao and then scooped a bowl for himself.
As long as she lays plenty, she won’t have to worry about having nothing to eat.
