Chapter 130 New Love and Old Love
King Zhao wanted to question Ji Yunqing, but the pitiful little beauty gently grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"Your Majesty..."
Although the beauty was beautiful, she was not enough to make King Zhao infatuated. In the mind of King Zhao, who had been pampered since childhood, when he had no interest, he naturally did not need to consider the thoughts of a little beauty.
So he pulled back his sleeves mercilessly.
A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Ji Yunqing, who refused to recognize him after taking the money. Now he wanted to ask for an explanation for himself.
"Ji, do you think these five thousand taels of silver are more important, or do you think this king is more important?"
Ji Yunqing was happily counting the silver bills while thinking about how to spend the money. She decided to buy some daily necessities for her yard first.
Those wooden chairs are nice to sit on at first, but they become a bit uncomfortable after a long time. We should get a soft human doghouse.
She also wanted to order a large wardrobe. Too many clothes would easily wrinkle if they were placed in boxes, so a wardrobe would be more appropriate.
Oh, and we also need to dig a cellar.
Last summer, all the vegetables she grew would have been wasted if they were not eaten, so she ended up drying and pickling them.
This year she plans to find a suitable location to dig a cellar and then store all the vegetables in it, which will make it easier to preserve them and also save them from taking up space outside.
The location hasn't been chosen yet.
Ji Yunqing was thinking about where to dig the hole when he heard King Zhao's sinister voice.
She was startled, then her eyes widened: "My Lord, do you even need to ask? Of course you are more important!"
You ask me why, because you are an old hen that lays golden eggs!
Hearing this, King Zhao felt much better and said, "That's good to know."
He glanced at the banknote in Ji Yunqing's hand and said casually: "Speaking of which, this answer was given by me, so this banknote..."
Oh, why are there people here to rob you?
Ji Yunqing felt that the tone of his words was not right, and she was so scared that she interrupted him immediately: "That's right, I have to thank you, Your Majesty. If it weren't for your generosity and knowledge, my mother and I wouldn't have been able to get this money."
As she spoke, she stuffed the banknotes into her wallet very naturally and then picked up Ruirui.
The mother and son, one big and one small, looked at King Zhao with their heads close together: "Your Highness, will you accompany me and Ruirui tonight?"
Cen Xi's heart tightened: Here it comes, this woman's ultimate goal has finally been revealed.
The mere five thousand taels of silver is not worth mentioning. This woman must have been talking about it for the prince.
He even sacrificed his children to win favor. He is really unscrupulous!
Cenxi was somewhat disdainful of this.
Isn't it just a child?
Sooner or later she will have it.
"Your Highness, since my sister needs you, you should go and accompany her. It doesn't matter if Xi'er suffers some grievances."
As she said this, her watery eyes were filled with reluctance, which made people feel distressed.
Listen, this is such a sensible and good girl!
Much more sensible than Ji Shi.
King Zhao couldn't bear it either. He thought for a moment and said, "Since your suffering is nothing, I will go and accompany your sister Ji first."
Before leaving, King Zhao still promised affectionately: "Just bear with it for a while."
Cen Xi: “!”
She endured it?
What does she endure?
She doesn't necessarily need a man to accompany her!
Suddenly, the situation changed drastically.
Not only were others caught off guard, even Ji Yunqing was dumbfounded. She was really caught off guard.
She murmured dully.
"W-Prince?"
No, brother, are you serious?
King Zhao looked at Ji Yunqing lovingly: "That's good, are you satisfied?"
Satisfied, she was very satisfied.
Ji Yunqing didn't know how to react and wanted to slap himself in the face.
She deserves to die!
Why did you have to say that extra word?
Ji Yunqing calmed down and thought quickly in her mind, there are so many people watching, will these women deal with her?
He even dares to steal the limelight from the newcomer. What a Ji!
No no no
She had to think of a way.
While thinking, Ji Yunqing met a pair of jealous eyes.
Then she raised her eyebrows. The new little beauty had two faces.
"Your Majesty," Ji Yunqing looked at Cen Xi, "Although I really want Your Majesty to accompany me, this little sister has just arrived, and I'm afraid she needs Your Majesty's company even more."
New arrival
The women weighed the issue in their minds. This wasn't the first time Ji Yunqing had slept with them, so one more time or one less time didn't mean anything. In comparison, the newcomer was the one they should really pay attention to.
King Zhao never listened to advice: "Don't worry"
After a pause, King Zhao sighed and said, "You have become much more sensible."
Cen Xi felt like vomiting. She was obviously the one who was wronged, so why did the prince say that she was sensible?
This blind prince!
By the way, cousin.
Since she was allowed to come into the mansion to give birth to the child, we have to help her find a solution.
Cen Xi looked at the princess expectantly, only to see the princess gently shaking her head at her.
——The prince is the real master of this palace. Don’t try to control him.
But Cen Xi couldn't understand the meaning. She lowered her head submissively to hide the anger in her eyes.
My cousin is so selfish.
As long as she asked, the prince would definitely accompany her.
Now that I have just entered the palace and my favor has been snatched away, I have become so much of a laughing stock. I don’t know how I am going to live the rest of my life!
Here, Ji Yunqing held the child and returned to Guihuayuan with King Zhao.
On the way, King Zhao finally led her back to the right road, which was wide and flat, and indeed completely different from the narrow road they had taken before.
"My Lord, you just did that. The sisters in the mansion will definitely be jealous of me. How can I play with them in the future?"
It was already late at night, and not many people came to their area, so they were the only ones there.
Ji Yunqing's complaining voice rang out, and the servants following behind him were frightened.
Nanny An followed behind, too nervous to even raise her head. "Master, what are you talking about?"
She wanted to go up and cover her master's mouth.
In this situation, shouldn't we talk about love, or at most try to impress other hospitals in a subtle way?
How can you be so straightforward?
No one had ever said this to King Zhao, so he was a little surprised: "Don't worry, with me here, who dares to bully you?"
Ji Yunqing curled his lips secretly.
She casually stuffed Ruirui, who was like a small weight, into Prince Zhao's arms and shook her sore arms: "Your Majesty, your own son is bullying me. He is so heavy!"
Suddenly finding himself in a strange embrace, the little guy shook his body excitedly and kicked his legs, which were stiff.
What a novel feeling!
King Zhao looked at his fat son who was suddenly stuffed into his arms. His first reaction was to throw him away, but this was his own son.
She glared at the fat boy in her arms, but in the end she had no choice but to continue holding him.
The little fat boy was so excited that he kicked his powerful legs and waved his little hands in the air. He smiled cutely at his father, and then suddenly picked his father's nostrils with his little fat hands.
King Zhao was suddenly attacked and could not dodge. He was afraid of hurting his child, so he could only shout, "Ji Shi!"
Ji Yunqing held back his laughter and pulled down the restless little fat hand: "Behave yourself, or your real dad will throw you on the road."
"Ah"
Ruirui yelled at her mother in dissatisfaction.
"Hey! Are you a stubborn boy?"
Ji Yunqing held the chubby little arm tightly and said with a smile: "Today is a good time to take advantage of the crowds. Your father will set up a stall to sell you later."
The young man Ruirui was young and didn't understand, but he was extremely stubborn.
His arm was pinched, but he was not at all restless. He kicked his chubby legs straight at his father.
Fortunately, the weather is cool now and both sides are wearing thick clothes, so the situation of love-hate relationship between father and son has not occurred.
Ji Yunqing thought to herself, "You better behave yourself, kid." She had finally found an opportunity for them to develop a father-son relationship, but she didn't expect you to fail so badly.
She could only rely on her repeated calls of "my dear child" to remind King Zhao in order to maintain the relationship between father and son.
As for the family of three returning to Osmanthus Courtyard to rest, there is naturally no need to mention it.
next morning
Ji Yunqing refused to get up from the bed, with his arms and legs spread out in a spread-eagle position.
She asked Xuancao who came to serve her: "Has the prince left long ago?"
Hemerocallis nodded and said, "Yes, I left before dawn."
OK!
Ji Yunqing was worried in her heart. After all, she had intercepted the person from someone else. Fortunately, she didn't have to pay her respects today, which saved her a lot of trouble.
Just as I was thinking about it, a little maid came to report outside the door that something happened.
Seeing that her master was in disarray and could not face others, Xuancao said consciously: "Master, I will go over to take a look."
"Go ahead"
After a while, Hemerocallis came back with a serious look on her face.
"Master, the princess has informed you that starting tomorrow, all the courtyards will go to the main courtyard to pay their respects."
Ji Yunqing was surprised, "So fast?"
Hemerocallis didn't dare to talk much about this kind of thing.
Ji Yunqing didn't want to go, but he had to go.
I could only hold my nose and do some ideological work for a whole day, and then reward myself with a table full of delicious food, and only then could I barely coax myself into submission.
Then he got up early and went to the main courtyard in a heroic and high-spirited manner.
After entering, she stood at the back as usual. Her partners were no longer Concubine Liu and Concubine Zhou, but Concubine Qian and Concubine Gao who had just been released.
Concubine Qian has always been timid in the mansion and has a weak sense of presence.
She came from a poor family, but was taken in because her mother gave birth to six sons in a row. She had no confidence in her actions, and had been pregnant before, but had a miscarriage due to a conspiracy.
Seeing Ji Yunqing standing next to her, Concubine Qian didn't say anything, but just stared at her embroidered shoes, which were embroidered with strings of small gourds.
She did not go to the big lanterns to join in the fun last night. Although she had been in the mansion for a long time, she had no money, no favor, and no connections. Naturally, she was not well-informed and had no idea where the prince had gone.
Concubine Gao did go there, but when she looked at Ji Yunqing's pretty face, she swallowed the words she wanted to remind her.
Concubine Gao has always been of a quiet nature and has little sense of existence. Yesterday, she wanted to win some favor by playing the pipa. If she could get pregnant with a child, she would have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
But there was a newcomer recommended by the princess in front of her, and Ji Yunqing was vying for favor with his child in the back. She couldn't even say a word, let alone play the pipa.
Ji Yunqing always felt like she had forgotten something. She stood there in a daze, thinking carefully, what exactly had she forgotten?
It shouldn't be important if it can be forgotten, right?
It was not until Concubine Xu Shu came in that she saw Ji Yunqing standing there in a daze.
She was extremely surprised and asked, "Aren't you a concubine now? Why don't you sit down?"
A word to wake up the dreamer!
Ji Yunqing's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Oh, I was just saying I forgot something. I'm a concubine now, so I don't have to stand!"
After saying this, she sat down happily.
Cen Xi was secretly watching this scene from behind and was very angry.
Such a stupid person, such a fool actually beat her.
She actually lost to such a person!
There are four seats for concubines here, neatly arranged facing each other. Previously, Concubine Lou and Concubine Li sat next to each other, but Concubine Xu was too beautiful and dazzling that no one sat next to her.
At this moment, Ji Yunqing sat directly in the seat that had been empty, which was next to Concubine Xu Shu.
Concubine Xu smiled and said, "That's great. I finally have a companion from now on."
Ji Yunqing also said warmly: "It is Yunqing's honor to be able to accompany Sister Xu."
The two girls were chatting happily.
Cen Xi didn't want to listen, but she pricked up her ears to eavesdrop. She had just entered the mansion and should try to get as much information as possible.
"What are you doing here with your butt sticking up?"
Cen Xi turned around abruptly, her fingers holding the handkerchief turning white, she lowered her head and said nervously: "Cousin, cousin, I just wanted to... take a look..."
This was the first time this year that everyone was gathered to pay respects, and the princess dressed up elegantly to show her nobility and majesty.
At this moment, she looked at Cen Xi calmly with her beautiful eyes. It was just a light glance, but it made Cen Xi feel that in front of her cousin, she was like an insignificant toad.
I will never become a white swan like my cousin.
"Your most important goal now is to let the prince see you and favor you. Everything else is secondary. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Cen Xi's face burned. The night before yesterday, the prince was abducted by the vixen in Guihua Courtyard. She thought that the prince would remember her last night and invite her to sleep with him.
Unexpectedly, the prince actually stayed in the front yard. This also resulted in her originally planning to show up today, but now she had to put it aside for the time being.
This was totally different from her previous life. There was no such mess in her previous life. That night she became a concubine in Prince Zhao's mansion.
Cenxi didn't know what went wrong.
While thinking, Cen Xi wanted her cousin to think of a solution. Isn’t she a princess?
My cousin is in charge of the entire backyard of the palace. If she asks, given her extraordinary beauty, the prince will definitely not refuse.
But when she looked up again, her cousin was no longer in sight. There were only a few servants left, and they were busy doing their own work and had no intention of serving her.
The princess had already sat in the main hall at this time. She spoke several hundred words of nonsense slowly and leisurely, and Ji Yunqing almost fell asleep listening to her.
Until the princess mentioned that Ji Yunqing became a concubine.
When Ji Yunqing heard the princess calling his name, he suddenly woke up and looked up at the princess.
"... Concubine Ji has done a great job in giving birth to a son, so she will be a concubine in the future. Although the prince has more children now, it is still not enough."
The princess sighed softly: "You all have paid attention to it. If you are lucky enough to give birth to a child, the palace will not treat you unfairly."
All the women stood up and responded respectfully.
Then, the princess looked at Ji Yunqing again and said, "Ji Shufei, your child is still young, don't monopolize the prince, and give others a chance."
