Chapter 179 Prince: You are quite smart!
However, this small flaw does not affect the relationship between father and son.
The atmosphere was warm and cozy when the court doctor came over to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine, we have checked the whole yard and found the ones with problems."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and a small mountain of various objects appeared.
Some are as big as a leg removed from a stool - it is empty and has a secret compartment inside, some are as small as the pearls on pearl earrings, and there are even some "surprise" little things stuck inside the embroidered duck's butt on a duck handkerchief.
It's really varied and varied.
The court physician originally planned to report to the prince after he finished speaking here - the court physician knew very well who paid his salary in the palace.
Now that two people are here, it saves him a step.
Ji Yunqing looked at Prince Zhao and suggested, "Your Majesty, let's go and take a look together."
King Zhao looked unhappy. He hated those who plotted behind his back the most.
Ji Yunqing sneered in his heart, what are you unhappy about?
She herself is not happy yet!
Who made these things?
If she hadn't entered this shabby house, would there be these broken things in her yard?
Ji Yunqing fearfully grabbed King Zhao's strong arm and said, "Your Majesty, I am so scared when I see these things. Fortunately, Your Majesty is here, otherwise I don't know what to do."
King Zhao patted the back of Ji Yunqing's hand and said, "Fortunately you are smart, otherwise you wouldn't know when you were plotted against."
"I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter, my beloved concubine, don't worry."
Ji Yunqing admired this point about King Zhao. Whether he could find out the truth or not was another matter. Anyway, his attitude was quite good and his emotional value was very good.
But today she was destined to shock King Zhao.
Ji Yunqing brought King Zhao to the room to see the box he had found yesterday, which was placed in a food box.
As a result, when a few people opened it, the food box was empty, there was nothing in it!
"It's just an empty box? Is this what you want me to see?"
Nanny An immediately became nervous and was the first to kneel down and kowtow: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was all my fault that I didn't keep this important thing safe, so someone stole it."
Ji Yunqing was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Your Majesty, we didn't lie!"
There is nothing to watch now, and nothing to support our claims. It seems like they are just lying!
King Zhao didn't know whether he believed it or not, but he just comforted him: "Don't worry, even if there are only those outside, I will send people to investigate."
Ji Yunqing did not argue, but said: "Your Majesty, wait a minute."
Then he turned and trotted away.
When she came back a few moments later, she was holding a box in her hand, which was much bigger than the one she had yesterday.
It looked very heavy, so Nanny An and Eunuch Shi hurried forward to take the box.
Ji Yunqing handed the box to the two men and explained as she opened it: "Your Highness, I just remembered what happened. Last night I went to sleep and woke up again. I don't know why I suddenly remembered this. I was afraid that someone else would take it away.
I found a box to put it in, and put some miscellaneous jewelry in the original lunch box. I didn't expect that it would really disappear today!
After I woke up this morning, I forgot about it and thought it was just a dream I had last night. Now I suddenly remembered it and quickly took it out. Did I do anything wrong? "
Everyone was silent.
I feel complicated, how can I put it?
This move of yours is really hard to guard against.
King Zhao suddenly laughed and said: "You did nothing wrong. You did the right thing. You should be more careful in everything you do."
There was satisfaction in his eyes: "You have grown a brain."
Ji Yunqing: “…”
Some people don't know how to praise others, so don't force it.
What do you mean she has a brain?
It's like she's a brainless zombie.
Ji Yunqing pouted and looked at King Zhao with dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, I am very smart. Not only am I smart, I am also very hardworking.
If someone else comes here who is too lazy to get up after thinking about this, he might go and steal wood to replace the pillars, and maybe they will be stolen.”
"Substituting one thing for another"
King Zhao had no choice but to remind her.
Didn’t you read a lot of books and learned a lot of knowledge?
Have you learned all this?
"Next, you read these two books first," King Zhao said the two book titles and made the final decision: "Then I will personally check them!"
In response to him, Ji Yunqing looked at him incredulously.
How old is she and she still has to go to class?
"Your Majesty, I know the characters I use in daily life and can write them. So there is no need to learn them again, right?"
"no!"
King Zhao flatly rejected it.
Originally, King Zhao thought that letting her learn on her own would be enough, but now it seems that it is far from enough.
There was no way out. Under the oppression of King Zhao, Ji Yunqing could only agree reluctantly.
Finally, she had to thank him with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When King Zhao saw that she looked aggrieved but was still trying to thank him, he actually felt happy.
"I knew you were a grateful person. How about this, from now on, after every lesson, you must thank me for my careful instruction."
What kind of devilish request is this?
This time Ji Yunqing was really surprised.
After this, Ji Yunqing would hear something even more shameless. Not only did this man demand to hear "Thank You, Your Highness" after class, but he also forced Ji Yunqing to thank him after doing... that kind of thing!
Ji Yunqing: “…”
Is this guy really a devil?
But that’s a story for another day.
The palace doctor sighed and said that everyone in the palace said that although Concubine Ji was beautiful, she was not smart enough, but that was not entirely true.
There are so many stupid people in the palace, how come she is the one favored by the prince?
Once King Zhao was told about the matter, Ji Yunqing would no longer have to worry about it, but she had not forgotten one important thing.
Ji Yunqing grabbed the corner of King Zhao's expensive-looking sleeve and spoke with a humming voice.
"Your Highness, yesterday, last night I changed the contents of the lunch box, that is to say... that is to say..."
"say what?"
King Zhao asked with amusement, but in fact he knew very well what the woman wanted to say, judging by her usual stingy nature.
"Prince"
Ji Yunqing hesitated for a while, and felt that he had been tactful enough, so he couldn't wait to speak: "Your Majesty, the things I put in yesterday are also worth a lot of money!"
In fact, there wasn't any. They were just some jewelry that she had worn a few times and got tired of. She had picked them out carefully when putting them in, and they were not of high value.
But life requires careful planning!
You have to know that when Ji Yunqing first came, even scraps of cloth were used up, either saved up to make clothes or made into unique little fabric flowers to wear on the head.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunqing felt that it should not be wasted.
But she can't just talk about money, otherwise she would be called tacky.
Ji Yunqing changed it to: "Your Majesty, after all, these are things that I have worn before. If they get out and appear in the hands of someone outside, it will be so bad!"
Just as she was racking her brains to think of words to persuade him, King Zhao suddenly said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you get these things back."
