Chapter 184 1 Pair of Boots
As soon as these words came out, the servants present lowered their heads and pretended not to exist.
The servants in Guihua Courtyard have to worry more, fearing that they will be affected, and they have to worry about their masters.
Master, oh master, why are you so careless?
If you want to do something, don’t you have enough time even after the prince leaves?
This is great!
It's over now!
Just when everyone was worried about their master, a very soft female voice was heard.
"……Um?"
Ji Yunqing looked puzzled by this.
"My Lord, what did I say?"
Seeing Ji Yunqing's eyes full of sincerity, King Zhao thought for a moment that he had remembered it wrong.
"Your Highness, what are you talking about?" Ji Yunqing was not only not panicked, she even pulled Prince Zhao's hand as if nothing had happened.
King Zhao shook her hand off and sneered, "Are you trying to fool me?"
He was now certain that this woman was fooling him!
Thinking further, the abnormalities he had noticed before...
Maybe he wasn't overreacting!
It’s not that he thinks too much!
As he thought about it, King Zhao's face turned greener and greener.
Ji Yunqing looked at Prince Zhao, who looked like a color palette, and thought that this man had so many problems.
She just made a small slip of the tongue that anyone can make. She didn't kill anyone. What's there to pursue?
While slightly raising her head, revealing her fair and beautiful face, she said softly, "My Lord, I don't know what you think of me, but I really didn't fool you."
However, King Zhao, who had seen through the truth, no longer believed her.
He said, why had he never seen so many strange things happening to the women in his backyard before?
He wondered, I had never heard that they liked women before?
It turned out to be the case.
That's it!
Ji Yunqing didn't need to wait for the other party's reaction and continued, "Have you forgotten? Prince, we have a child. Even for the sake of the child, Prince shouldn't be so suspicious?"
King Zhao immediately added in his mind: What's wrong with having a child? Having a child doesn't stop you from being outside... in the backyard, messing around!
Ji Yunqing raised her right hand and vowed: "My Lord, there is only one person in my heart, no one else, and there is only room for one person. If I change my mind, then let me be struck by lightning!"
In ancient times, swearing an oath was still very effective, and King Zhao's attitude gradually became wavering.
Maybe she just made a slip of the tongue. Actually, it’s nothing if you think about it now.
Who hasn't said something wrong sometimes?
Besides, this woman didn't do anything excessive.
"Your Majesty, actually I just...I just remembered!"
King Zhao fixed his gaze on Ji Yunqing with scrutiny.
As a result, the other party did not feel guilty at all, and explained without any evasion: "I am probably just coaxing children normally, so I am used to it, so I acted like that..."
At this time, Xuancao came forward anxiously, interrupting the strange atmosphere between the two people: "Prince, concubine, the little prince is crying, and he can't be comforted. He insists on looking for his parents. Please go and check on him!"
"What? How could this happen?"
After hearing this, Ji Yunqing wanted to go over and see what was going on, but she stopped abruptly and looked at Prince Zhao for advice: "Prince, how about I go and comfort the child first, and then come back to explain to you?"
In fact, King Zhao had been almost coaxed, and seeing that although Ji Yunqing was worried about the child, he still knew that he was the most important, he felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
The next time he spoke, his tone was much softer: "I will go with you to see Ruirui first!"
Never mind. The situation should be just as Ji said. The child just has been coaxed for too long.
Ji Yunqing was instantly delighted.
She took a step impatiently, then quickly raised her eyes to look at King Zhao, walked to the man, stood on tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek unexpectedly.
Then he lowered his head and hurried away.
From King Zhao's perspective, he could also see the other person's blushing face.
Obviously, she was the one who took the initiative, and now she is the one who is blushing and shy.
This is really...
King Zhao realized belatedly that his face was slightly damp from the touch he had just received. He raised his hand and gently touched it with his fingertips.
Pinch it slightly with two fingers.
Eunuch Shi, who was standing by, saw that Concubine Ji had walked a long way away, but the prince was still standing there motionless.
Are we going to just stand here and do nothing, or go over and take a look?
He called out tentatively, "My Lord, My Lord?"
King Zhao instantly returned to his original dignity and his eyes returned to their usual calmness.
"What's the matter?"
"Your Highness, do you want to go see the Fourth Young Master?" The child born to Concubine Ji is the fourth child in the palace.
King Zhao finally remembered the little boy at this time. He took a long step, threw his wide sleeves, and said, "Of course I will go."
Of course there was nothing wrong with the little guy. Ji Yunqing played with him for a while before waiting for King Zhao.
The mother and her son, one big and one small, sat on the soft cushion on the ground, both pairs of eyes looking at King Zhao who had just entered the room with sparkling eyes.
Ji Yunqing smiled and shouted, "Prince!"
The little guy clapped his hands and shouted loudly, "Dad!"
King Zhao soon fell.
He waved his hand and said, "I remember there is some suitable fabric in the storeroom, and it feels soft, Eunuch Shi!"
Eunuch Shi sighed in his heart: "Yes, Your Majesty"
Your Highness, Your Highness, don’t you blame Concubine Ji for what she did just now?
I've never seen you so easy to please!
……
After finally sending King Zhao away, Ji Yunqing lay back tiredly on the soft cushion.
“Ah! Comfortable.”
The little guy next to him opened his big eyes and turned his head to look at his mother, then lay down on the back and took the initiative to spread out his chubby little hands and feet.
He also exclaimed in a serious manner: "Ah, huhu!"
At this time, Nanny An came over with a tray in her hand.
"Master, look"
Ji Yunqing was too lazy to move, so he just looked over and saw a pair of black leather boots on it.
The boots have a black upper and a thick white sole, and they look quite big.
"Mammy, this is not my size, right?"
Since the master had seen it, Nanny An put the boots aside and said seriously, "Master, this is not for you. This is what the maid Xiuqiu just found in your box."
Ji Yunqing sat up in surprise: "What's going on? When I first came to the mansion, it was obvious to everyone that I was poor!"
Not to mention making boots for others, she didn't even have many good clothes to wear herself.
The only good piece of clothing is the limited edition suit for entering the mansion.
After that day, generally no one wants to wear it, after all, it looks rather weird.
Nanny An was speechless. "Master, don't you feel a bit embarrassed when talking about your own embarrassment?"
When others know that they are poor, they will try their best to cover it up. What's worse, after they become rich, they wish no one knew about their miserable past.
How come the master is so poor but so... open and honest?
Of course, Nanny An didn’t know that this was caused by Ji Yunqing’s experience in his previous life.
In the previous life, young people generally had no money. After talking about it more, everyone found that they were all the same, so they didn’t feel embarrassed about it anymore.
Nanny An reminded her master: "This thing didn't exist before. It suddenly appeared today. Apart from Concubine Qian who took a look around when she went to the storehouse to help, no one else went there."
How can the master's room accommodate so many things?
Therefore, some unimportant clothes that are not often worn are also placed in one of the warehouses.
Ji Yunqing instantly understood what Nanny An said.
"You mean, this was put in there by Concubine Qian?"
Perhaps it was because Ji Yunqing looked extremely surprised that Nanny An misunderstood.
She looked at Ji Yunqing and said, "Master, I secretly sent a maid to watch over the masters, and that's when I discovered the boots."
Ji Yunqing's expression returned to normal.
In fact, she was not surprised by the boots, but by Qian the concubine herself.
Since Concubine Qian was so capable that she could do such a meticulous thing as quietly placing a box containing musk into her yard, it proved that she must be a smart person.
How could a smart person suddenly act so recklessly and use such a simple means of framing someone?
A pair of men's boots suddenly appeared in her yard, and she felt like there was something fishy going on here.
But in fact, this is also easy to resolve. As long as you know it in advance, you can get rid of the boots.
So this frame-up was indeed not a very clever move.
But when she tested it before, it was indeed Concubine Qian who reacted the most.
Is there someone else behind her?
Ji Yunqing kept this matter in mind and planned to investigate it further later.
At this moment, she saw that the boots were made very delicately and straight, and Ji Yunqing couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"The stitching is so detailed!"
At least much better than her.
Seeing that the master was actually admiring them, Nanny An interrupted helplessly: "Master, these boots were made by someone else."
It is used to frame you, not to make you bother to comment and interact.
Concubine Qian will not be happy if you compliment her boots.
Ji Yunqing then stopped the subsequent praise.
She herself doesn't know how to do this kind of handicraft, so she appreciates these crafts very much.
"Mammy," Ji Yunqing cleared her throat. Although she had no hope, she couldn't help but ask, "Can't the prince wear these boots?"
If the prince could wear it, it would be considered a good use of waste.
Sure enough, Nanny An said, "These boots are a little small for the prince, he can't wear them."
Besides, who would dare to make things difficult for the prince?
Ji Yunqing felt it was a pity after hearing this: "Actually, shoes will get bigger if you stretch them."
Unfortunately, the prince would not listen to her. He had countless shoes that would fit his feet, and there were often girls in the backyard making them for him.
There are simply too many to wear.
Ji Yunqing was extremely envious. If she could have the same size feet as the prince, she would be able to pick up all the new shoes he had.
Anyway, they are new shoes, so whoever wears them owns them.
Nanny An was used to her master's occasional irrelevant remarks. She continued, "I'll go cut off the boots and get rid of them. I promise I won't offend you, master."
Ji Yunqing quickly stopped him: "No, no, no."
"So, if anyone has a father or brother at home, please take a look at these boots and see if they are big enough to wear. Or you can sell them. I think the boots are made very solidly. It would be a waste to destroy them."
The maids present did not want to take advantage of this and all agreed to sell the boots.
Ji Yunqing immediately said, "That's great. If there's more money from the sales, you sisters can share it. If there's less, then I'll use it to add more dishes to your dishes."
The maids naturally agreed happily.
Ji Yunqing looked at Nanny An again and said, "By the way, since Concubine Qian stuffed the boots, it is inevitable that others must have done something wrong. Please go and check it out."
Needless to say, Nanny An naturally thought of this.
Even when the few people came into the yard, Nanny An had already sent people to keep an eye on them.
Knowing where several people are going, it's very easy to find them now.
Soon, Hemerocallis took out a letter from the study with a few words written on it.
"Personally from Ji Yunqing"
Ji Yunqing got the letter and was about to open it when he was stopped by Nanny An.
"Master, don't worry"
"If there is something wrong with this envelope, it would be better to let me open it for you. This way you will feel more at ease."
Ji Yunqing actually didn’t think there was anything on it. She felt that this thing might be used to frame her.
If the prince gets hold of the person and he suddenly dies, wouldn't that be very embarrassing?
But she didn't say it, because Nanny An was doing it for her own good anyway.
When Nanny An took out the envelope, Ji Yunqing carefully read what was written on it.
"Qingqing, long time no see. I am your great-grandfather. How are you doing now since we last met?"
Ji Yunqing's mouth twitched. Who would write the words "I am your great-brother" directly?
Who came up with this sentence?
It’s really greasy!
Then look down.
The whole story is about how much "he" misses Ji Yunqing who has entered the palace. It also writes about several things that Ji Yunqing and Zeng Cheng experienced together when Master Ji was a county magistrate in another place.
It seems that the person who wrote this letter had deliberately investigated her experience.
Finally, he wrote that "Zeng Cheng" was not living well now, had no money to eat, and was seriously ill, so there had been no news from him. Before he died, he missed Ji Yunqing very much.
Because he was seriously ill and could not hold a pen, he asked his friend to write for him. It was not that he did not want to write the letter to his beloved in person.
The letter also came with a sad poem, which was both sad and full of lingering emotion, which was consistent with the idea that Zeng Cheng was a talented man.
Ji Yunqing focused his eyes on the last sentence: "I hope his letter did not disturb Yunqing's current life."
Having said that, the very existence of this letter is already a problem.
Nanny An had been in the palace for many years, so she was naturally literate, but when she opened the letter to check it, she only quickly glanced at some words and did not dare to read it carefully.
Just these things were enough to cause an uproar in Nanny An's heart.
If this matter is not handled properly, it means you have an affair with a man outside your family, which means you have an affair!
When Ji Yunqing put down the letter in his hand, Nanny An looked around and whispered, "Master, this letter cannot be kept!"
This person cannot be kept!
No matter what this person's relationship with his master was in the past, he could not keep him.
Ji Yunqing stretched out a finger and casually pointed at the words on the letter, "Mammy, this letter is a fake!"
"Not only is it fake, but if I'm not mistaken, the other party is also trying to defraud me of my money!"
Ji Yunqing gritted his teeth when he said this.
She didn't expect that in ancient times, she would encounter paper letter fraud!
Nanny An was confused: "...Ah?"
Scam?
Don't you want to seduce your master?
