Chapter 157 Banknote
Seeing that she did not deny it, King Zhao immediately said in a firm tone, his handsome face full of gloom: "You have always been thinking about your fiancé, you are lying to me!"
Mom!
At this time, King Zhao was as careful as a man catching an adulterer.
"Prince"
Ji Yunqing tried to defend himself: "You are being unreasonable, aren't you? Let me ask you, who is Ruirui's biological father?"
"It's the King."
"Who is my man?"
"It's the King."
"Who is holding me?"
"It's the King."
"Isn't that okay?"
Ji Yunqing rarely spoke in a strong tone, and said earnestly: "The woman is yours, and the child is yours too. I have done well enough, what else do you want?"
King Zhao felt that something was not right: "I..."
"What else do you want to do? Prince, I work hard every day, and I think I have never missed a single thing. I work as hard as an old ox and dare not complain at all. But you start to question me without knowing the truth?"
Ji Yunqing counted on her fingers and said, "I got up early in the morning to help you dress and wash. Is that right?"
"Yes, yes..."
But in just a few days, the service was still a mess.
Ji Yunqing interrupted him after listening to the first half and continued, "Every time you come to the courtyard, I have served you well, Your Majesty. You can't deny it, right?"
"This is indeed true..."
But with so many servants around, it can’t be said to be hard, right?
"And at night, you're always doing this and that, so tiring, and there are so many new postures, even... um..." Before Ji Yunqing could finish her words, King Zhao covered her mouth with his hand.
Why does this woman say everything outside?
Ji Yunqing grabbed his hand that was covering his mouth and pulled it down hard.
"Can you stop talking nonsense?"
King Zhao never knew that woman could be so, so...outrageous.
Ji Yunqing shook his head frantically and said, "Stop covering it. If you continue, he will die!"
After he let go of his hand, Ji Yunqing took two deep breaths until fresh air rushed into his chest, then he continued speaking persistently.
"Your Majesty, aren't the vegetables I planted in the yard so that you can have a bite?"
King Zhao finally reacted: "Nonsense, have you ever let me eat the vegetables in your yard?" Didn't this guy eat them all himself?
Oh, he did eat it in the winter.
"Even if Your Majesty doesn't want to eat, even if you just suddenly want to eat a small bite at a certain time one day, I am willing to wait for you!"
Ji Yunqing's pair of almond-shaped eyes sparkled brightly in the dark night, as if containing countless longings and expectations.
"My lord, no matter how much you object, I will do my best for you. I know you feel sorry for me, but I also feel sorry for you, my lord!"
Ji Yunqing said, holding King Zhao's hand and placing it on his chest, "My Lord, I don't know what's wrong with you today, but I understand your feelings.
I know that Your Highness is so upright, so kind, so responsible, and so elegant. Even if you are angry, you will not hit the women in the mansion. You feel particularly safe. There must be a reason why your attitude is so abnormal today.
I want to say that meeting you, Your Majesty, is the greatest blessing in my life."
After drinking the drug, the man in the darkness did not move for a long time. However, Ji Yunqing could feel that his tense body was gradually relaxing, but... could he loosen his arm?
Ji Yunqing couldn't see the other person's expression in the darkness. She felt a little uneasy and thought to herself, fortunately she didn't have to get up early tomorrow. She could go to bed later today. Anyway, she could sleep longer tomorrow.
"Forget it, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
King Zhao rubbed his eyebrows. He was really too impulsive today.
How could Ji not love him?
Since entering the mansion, Ji has been sensible and hardworking. Last time, she saved Concubine Jian, and this time, she tried to please Concubine Wen and the others in various ways. She must have done this for him.
Even King Zhao knew in his heart that his cousin had always had a bad temper since childhood and was not an easy person to get along with. She had often bullied other concubines in the mansion. Ji must have put a lot of thought into this, right?
For him, Ji Shi tried hard to maintain good relationships with other women in the mansion. This was all proof that Ji Shi loved him!
Although this method sounds a bit clumsy, Ji was originally a bit stupid and probably couldn't think of any other good solution.
After figuring it out, King Zhao's tone became gentler and his eyes showed more pity.
"Did I scare you today?"
Ji Yunqing shook her head: "Fortunately, once I knew it was the prince, I was not afraid of anything." At this time, she did not forget to maintain a good image.
She just couldn't understand why King Zhao suddenly thought of the question of "like it or not"?
Does he have high demands on the spiritual level?
How to do?
How should she cooperate with the work?
Just as he was thinking about it, King Zhao stood up and lit the candle, and in front of Ji Yunqing's shocked gaze, he took out a stack of silver bills.
"This is the compensation from the General's Mansion, a total of 100,000 taels of silver, take it."
He explained: "After all, he is from the General's Mansion, so it is not easy to break the third leg directly, but the other two are broken."
There is only one heir in the General's Mansion, so King Zhao shouldn't be too ruthless.
Ji Yunqing was surprised: "So many?"
A full 100,000 taels. Now that she is a concubine, she only earns 100 taels of silver a month.
Her eyes immediately lit up, and the look she gave King Zhao became exceptionally gentle.
King Zhao sneered: "Compared with their descendants, they are not worth mentioning at all."
There is nothing wrong with that.
When she knew the man's identity, she knew that he would definitely give her some preferential treatment, which was normal.
but……
"Your Highness, I didn't contribute much to this matter. It was you who came forward to resolve it. You should keep the banknote."
"I don't need this little money. Besides, doesn't my beloved concubine like money very much?" He still remembered that this woman used to ask him directly for money when she had no money.
Ji Yunqing smiled embarrassedly: "I didn't have any money back then, but now it's fine. I just need to save up some money for Ruirui's betrothal gift."
Having said that, Ji Yunqing was still worried that she was just being polite and the other party would take it seriously.
He quickly said, "How about this, we each take half. Even though I didn't do anything, I was really scared..."
As she spoke, she directly divided the banknote in half, half for each person.
King Zhao was quite surprised: "Are these really divided equally?"
“Really evenly split”
Ji Yunqing's tone was firm.
King Zhao put away the fifty thousand taels of silver and said, "Okay."
Today, he was indeed the focus of attention of his father, brothers and a group of ministers.
I really suffered a lot of mental torture.
Maybe they all couldn't understand why that young Master Liu would break into the prince's room together with a group of thugs?
For the sake of Ji Yunqing's reputation, King Zhao insisted that the boy had broken into his room. After all, he was not lying, as he was indeed living there at the time.
