Chapter 145 Reward
Ji Yunqing was puzzled: "I'm just going out for a while, why do you look so miserable, father-in-law?"
Do you really think this old slave is miserable?
Eunuch Shi didn't know where to start to express his deep sorrow.
But now is not the time to comfort poor Eunuch Shi. Ji Yunqing looked at Prince Zhao with sparkling eyes: "Prince, you finally came out!"
Worried that Prince Zhao would have a problem with her taking the guards out, Ji Yunqing was very proactive and took the lead and said quickly, "My Lord, I didn't dare to disturb you just now because you were busy. But Concubine Jian was bullied again.
Concubine Lou went to help Concubine Jian. After Concubine Qian told me about it, I thought that I couldn't do this dangerous thing without someone.
But...but the guards are so loyal. Without your order, they insisted on guarding you. It was Concubine Wen who stepped forward at the critical moment, so that I was able to lead the guards to rescue people.
Fortunately, we went there in time, otherwise... the consequences would be disastrous."
Ji Yunqing's eyes were firm, and after he finished speaking, he sighed heavily with a serious face.
One can tell how difficult, dangerous and urgent this matter is.
And in this short paragraph, Ji Yunqing mentioned several people's names in succession, indicating that everyone had contributed to this matter and she was just one of them.
King Zhao couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and asked, "You are so amazing? Should I praise you?"
"Really?" Ji Yunqing's eyes lit up.
She thrust the child in her arms to King Zhao and said impatiently, "Your Highness, I want to dig an underground maze, the kind with twists and turns and a little surprise at every step.
For example, there are a thousand taels of silver notes lost by a stranger, Beijing special snacks of various flavors, beautiful clothes and jewelry, and treasure maps. You can find a lot of glittering treasures by decrypting or using special symbols..."
Ji Yunqing counted them one by one on his fingers.
King Zhao became more and more irritated as he listened. You really picked him?
He rejected it coldly and ruthlessly: "No!"
That's it!
Ji Yunqing quickly switched to simple mode: "Then just dig a cellar for me and we can have some fun?"
A simple cellar, compared to the previous underground maze, this requirement is not too high.
King Zhao quickly nodded and agreed: "Okay."
Seeing that King Zhao agreed, Ji Yunqing immediately cheered and jumped for joy: "Your Majesty, you are so kind! You are a great man!"
Seeing her so excited, King Zhao lowered his eyes to look at his sleeve that was tightly grasped, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
It's really unruly.
Isn't it just a cellar?
Is it so exaggerated?
Eunuch Shi, who was standing by, twitched his lips as he listened. "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Have you forgotten that Concubine Ji applied to dig a cellar in her yard to store the vegetables she grew, and you rejected it at that time?
She also said that they were in the palace and she couldn't be allowed to be so unruly.
What are your rules now?
The wrinkled monk with a long beard and a bald forehead bowed and said, "Amitabha, the donor is a blessed person."
When Ji Yunqing saw the monk, he quickly returned the greeting: "Thank you, Master."
King Zhao introduced: "This is Master Shikong, who is well versed in Buddhism and can interpret fortunes. Master Shikong, this is my concubine. She is a bit naughty on weekdays. I am sorry to have embarrassed you."
Master Shikong looked at Ji Yunqing meaningfully, and then chanted the Buddha's name again.
"Amitabha"
"That's enough." King Zhao glanced at the two people who were pressed behind him and said in a gentle tone, "Are you scared just now? Don't try to be brave again in the future. It's right to bring more people. The princess and concubines are in the guest house nearby. Go in and rest!"
Since we were arranged to have a rest, Ji Yunqing didn't do much work. She walked towards the guest house happily.
Fortunately, before leaving, I finally remembered to take my fat son back with me.
Eunuch Shi felt completely relieved.
He never knew that the elder master was difficult to serve and the younger master could be so torturous.
Ji Yunqing held Ruirui's chubby hand and shook it up and down: "Let's go first, say goodbye to your father, and thank you for your careful care, Master Shi."
Eunuch Shi was flattered and quickly waved his hand: "The young master is so well-behaved and sensible. Master Ji, please don't be polite. The young master is easy to take care of."
Next time the young master needs care, please remember to look for him.
After Ji Yunqing left completely, Master Shikong also said goodbye as he had something to do.
In front of King Zhao were Concubine Lou and others.
Concubine Lou lowered her eyes and remained silent. She had seen everything Ji Yunqing did just now.
So the prince likes people with this kind of temperament?
Then she really couldn't afford to lose face.
She bowed silently: "Your Majesty, I am useless and failed to help Concubine Jian."
King Zhao was not dissatisfied with her: "It is great that you can help. Remember to bring more people next time."
Concubine Lou felt relieved.
King Zhao gave some rewards to Concubine Lou, and even rewarded Qian, the concubine who tipped off the police, with several pieces of fine cloth.
Concubine Qian happily stepped forward to express her gratitude.
Soon, it was Concubine Jian's turn.
Concubine Jian lowered her head and dared not speak.
King Zhao vaguely remembered the temperament of this concubine, so he did not make things difficult for her. He also did not want to listen to what the two had to say, so he dealt with it directly.
As for Mrs. Jane and Sister-in-law Jane, they were counting on their daughter/sister-in-law to intercede for them.
Why was Concubine Jian speechless when she was bullied by them? Now she was still speechless in front of the prince.
King Zhao handed the child in his arms to her and said: "Raise the child well in the palace from now on." He wanted to tell his daughter not to raise such a character, but he felt that this was really embarrassing for her.
I'd better talk to the princess later.
Ji Yunqing entered the guest house, greeted the princess first, and then sincerely thanked Concubine Wen.
"Thank you, Sister Wen. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do!"
Concubine Wen looked at her with disdain and scolded her: "It's just a casual thing, not worth mentioning."
"It may be a simple thing for you, Sister Wen, but it is really difficult for me."
After all, she is not only a concubine, but also the prince's cousin. Ji Yunqing knows how to be grateful: "You don't know, when I led people over, no one dared to speak loudly at the scene. That scene was really great!
Concubine Jian was almost in tears because of the embarrassment, but fortunately Concubine Lou was there, so they didn't dare to be so presumptuous. In addition, I arrived in time with my men, which calmed everyone down. "
Although she didn't go to the scene, but when Concubine Wen heard Ji Yunqing say this, her brows relaxed.
She looked at Ji Yunqing with a more relaxed look: "You are quite clever."
Ji Yunqing just wanted to take this opportunity to get on good terms with Concubine Wen. She didn't know what was going on recently but Concubine Wen was always ignoring her and was very bad-tempered. She didn't know how she had offended her.
Then, I heard Concubine Cen speak in a sarcastic tone: "Sister Ji acted like this, if others knew about it, wouldn't they say that our palace was barbaric?"
