Chapter 129 Get rewarded
His words just gave King Lie an opportunity, and he immediately forced a smile and said, "Let's take a rest if we are tired. Third brother, I will take Xiaoxiao back first, and we can talk later if there is anything else."
After saying this, he immediately took his people away without even a pause.
Looking at King Lie and his servants leaving like a tide, Ji Yunqing smacked his lips with regret.
Leaving now?
She always felt that she didn't perform well.
As soon as the other party left, King Zhao also wanted to leave with his new beauty. Before leaving, he glanced at Ji Yunqing.
The other party was looking at him eagerly, with endless grievance in his eyes.
As if to say, look at me, Your Majesty, look at me.
King Zhao hardened his heart and looked away.
late!
Now I know it's useless to try to please him, he has to leave me alone.
As he thought about it, King Zhao seemed to remember something and told the princess: "I think everyone is here today, so why not just tell us what happened so that we don't forget it."
whats the matter?
Everyone was confused.
The princess suddenly understood. She glanced at Cen Xi and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Finally, she cleared her throat and said, "Since entering the palace, Concubine Ji has always behaved well and has given birth to a son for the prince. From today on, Concubine Ji will be promoted to Concubine Ji and enjoy the same status as a concubine."
The main wife and concubine need to be canonized, but the concubine does not. As long as the prince agrees, it is very simple.
Concubine?
She finally got a promotion and a raise?
The surprise came a little suddenly. Ji Yunqing quickly calculated how much his salary had increased, and then hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness." Ji Yunqing clenched her fists, looking full of energy.
"Your servant, I will definitely work hard in the future and give birth to twenty big fat boys for the prince and princess."
King Zhao: “…” Who would say such words at this time?
princess:"……"
Everyone: "..."
Is this how this little devil usually tricks the prince into believing in her?
This is... too simple and direct, isn't it?
But Ji Yunqing didn't feel that she had said anything outrageous. Her personality has always been like this, brainless, with an innocent look, trying to reduce all threats she brought in the greatest sense possible.
"Fine"
Although he felt that the words were a bit rough, King Zhao did not have many sons now, so he readily accepted such words.
Some even praised her, saying, "It's great that you have this intention. There's no need to have so many children. Ten or eight children are enough."
Ji Yunqing: “!!!”
Big brother, are you kidding? I was just talking, do you really want me to give birth?
I don't think you have that many features in your face.
The two of them were having a great time, and even if others felt jealous it would only last for a while, after all, they had already expected this ending.
Who asked her to give birth to a child?
They had guessed it as early as when Concubine Ji moved to a new courtyard. After all, that courtyard was not suitable for a concubine.
It just means that some people just won't give up.
Concubine Jian was feeling depressed because she also gave birth to a child, although it was a daughter.
It's just that she didn't catch up with the right time. When the prince had few children, she could become a concubine if she gave birth to a child.
Just like Concubine Xu Shu, who only gave birth to a daughter.
It’s not possible now, unless... the position of concubine becomes vacant.
Thinking of this, Concubine Jian's heart skipped a beat and she became a little panicked.
How could she think that?
But the angriest one was Cenxi.
She looked at her cousin the princess with resentment. Why couldn't the only position of concubine be reserved for her?
Aren't you counting on her to give birth to a child?
You should give her more consideration.
He chose to say it when she just entered the mansion. This must be a way to intimidate her!
If she had come in for a few more days, she would have been able to compete, unlike now, where she can only watch others being proud.
Thinking of this, she glared at Ji Yunqing fiercely.
Ji Yunqing was confused by the stare. She touched her head and ran quickly to King Zhao.
"Prince"
Cen Xi's heart skipped a beat. She glared at the other person. There was no need to bring up such things, right?
Besides, she wouldn't admit it even if I told her.
Besides, Cen Xi tried hard to recall the events of her previous life to make sure that she did not have the slightest impression of this "Ji concubine".
In other words, this person did not exist in her previous life, or this person had already died before she entered the mansion.
In his previous life, Cen Xi was young, and he was confused in everything he did since he entered the mansion.
He only knew how to rely on his cousin and didn't know how to inquire about the news in the mansion, so both of these speculations are possible.
But no matter which one it was, it proved that Concubine Ji was not a concern. She thought darkly, what if Concubine Ji died early?
Thinking of this, Cen Xi hid behind King Zhao like a frightened bird, looking at him with dependence in her eyes.
She asked timidly, "My Lord, is Sister Ji coming to cause trouble for me?"
King Zhao patted her soothingly: "Don't be nervous, Ji is not that kind of person, she has a good temper."
He must have realized that he did something wrong last time and is begging for mercy. It seems that leaving it alone for so many days has had some effect.
King Zhao felt somewhat relieved. In this case, they could go to the Osmanthus Garden tomorrow.
After hearing what King Zhao said, Cen Xi secretly curled his lips.
A good temper is only for the prince. Cen Xi knows that women who have been immersed in the struggles in the harem for a long time are all good at disguise.
Still maintaining her delicate and timid appearance.
Ji Yunqing didn't even look at Cen Xi. She said anxiously, "My Lord, you——"
She was about to speak but stopped. She looked around vigilantly, then stood on tiptoe, leaned over to King Zhao's ear and asked, "..."
King Zhao's expression became visibly stiff, as if filled with anger, but Ji Yunqing ignored it and gently tugged at King Zhao's sleeve a few times.
"Please, my lord, please"
What did they say?
The sound was so soft that the others couldn't hear it even though they held their breath and concentrated.
All I know is that Concubine Ji has angered the prince again.
Cenxi laughed secretly, very happy to see this scene.
No wonder she had never heard of this woman. It seemed that she was stupid enough to die.
King Zhao was indeed very angry, but seeing the other party's sincerity and speaking to him in a soft and gentle manner, he finally said something in a harsh tone.
“It’s the word ‘life’”
Ji Yunqing got the answer and stopped blocking the way. She became happy and said, "Okay, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Afterwards, in full view of everyone, Ji Yunqing, who had just become a concubine, ran to the largest lantern and happily wrote down the answer to the riddle.
"Well, this lantern is mine! The five thousand taels are mine too!"
She had wanted this silver for a long time, and fortunately no one tried to snatch it from her.
The servant guarding the lantern confirmed that the answer was correct and looked at Prince Zhao and the Queen.
The princess nodded in agreement.
The prince has given the answer, what else can she do?
Anyway, the bonus was not paid by her. There were 2,000 taels of silver in the public account of the palace, and the prince paid 3,000 taels of silver himself, a total of 5,000 taels of silver.
Ji Yunqing successfully got the silver note.
King Zhao looked at this scene and somehow compared it with the look he had just received.
Why did he feel that Ji's eyes were much brighter when he looked at the banknotes than when he looked at him?
It was true that she was full of love when she looked at him, but it was still a far cry from the look in her eyes now when she looked at the banknotes, which seemed to make her want to stick to them and swallow them.
