Chapter 187 Sister Ji, are you finally willing to forgive me?

How did you do it?

Of course, Zhaocai was thinking about Xuancao’s words in her heart, and when she took the "evidence" to her "real master", she gritted her teeth and shouted it out!

When Zhaocai got the money, she was also in a cold sweat. When asked about it, she murmured in a trance, "Didn't Sister Xuancao say that the higher the price, the better?"

She thought to herself, wasn't she asking for nothing?

A maid applauded, "Yes!"

Another echoed: "That's right!"

Someone else came up to me and asked, "How did you sell so many? Did you get lucky?"

Or did you meet a fool?

Everyone gathered around curiously; the money from the sales was their common unexpected gain. Of course, the more they sold, the more each person could get.

Zhaocai was rarely surrounded by so many people. She couldn't help but take two steps back and calmed herself down before saying, "I'm lucky. I happened to meet the housekeeper of a wealthy family. He's not short of money."

It was true that the man was not short of money, but it was still a surprise to her that he could give her so much.

The other maids were very interested in this topic and gathered around her again, chatting happily one after another.

Zhaocai was in a daze for a while, and then he heard several maids suggesting whether they should hand over so much silver to their master.

I originally thought that it wouldn't cost much, so we could just share it among ourselves, but now there's such a large sum of money...

The maids were thinking this when they heard Ji Yunqing speak slowly: "No need to give it to me, you can divide it among yourselves no matter how much it is."

Besides, if she really needed money, she could find a way to ask King Zhao for it.

The mansion has extremely strict rules for concubines. They are not allowed to buy property outside, let alone open shops. There are many restrictions, so the only source of income for most concubines is the man in the mansion.

Oh!

Some also receive support from their parents’ families.

But Ji Yunqing obviously does not belong to this category.

The master above was generous, so the maids below naturally cheered.

Seeing them happy, Ji Yunqing was also happy.

Nanny An looked at the maids having fun in the yard, and her expression relaxed unconsciously: "Master, these little maids are too noisy. I will go and ask them to leave now."

Ji Yunqing stopped her in time: "Ah, Ma'am, don't worry, just let them be happy for a while, I don't think it's noisy"

"The master is right."

Madam An looked at Zhaocai who was surrounded by the crowd again and again with her old eyes and sighed: "Who is the master behind this girl? How can he be so rich?"

In fact, before this, Ji Yunqing had already made preparations with Nanny An. Even if he was reported today, Ji Yunqing would not panic at all.

But after they waited for a day, Zhaocai actually came back with the silver. No one knew what that man was planning.

After thinking about it, Ji Yunqing shook her head and said, "Mammy, don't worry. If an enemy comes, we will stop him with our troops and if a flood comes, we will block it with earth."

After that, Ji Yunqing lived a very peaceful life, and even Ji Er didn't disturb her again.

I don’t know if he has figured it out or has other plans.

According to the inside story revealed by concubine Zhao, "Our Miss Ji's courtyard is a bit far away, and because she is a concubine, she has no servants around her.

Every morning, I had to get up an hour earlier to pay my respects and dress myself up. It was still dark, and after paying my respects, I had to rush to the kitchen to get food. This was the same for three meals a day.

Besides, we can't leave the house and yard tidy, right? Plus some miscellaneous things, our Miss Ji is busy!"

When Ji Yunqing heard this, he was deeply shocked.

Is this asking for trouble?

But it's rare to have a place to live alone without anyone around, so it's actually quite comfortable to think about it.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Everyone in the palace gathered together and the Mid-Autumn family dinner began.

Ji Yunqing was unable to attend last year's Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner. That day, Concubine Lou and Concubine Li gave birth one after another, and the scene was very chaotic.

So this year's Mid-Autumn Festival happens to be the first birthday of the two children, and we have to hold a one-year-old ceremony for them.

Before the "Zhuazhou" ceremony, everyone in the mansion speculated that since Concubine Li was "seriously ill", would the "Zhuazhou" ceremony for the third daughter she gave birth to be cancelled?

If the one-year-old ceremony was really cancelled, then Concubine Li would be completely disgraced.

When preparing gifts, Nanny An also mentioned this to her master.

Ji Yunqing thought for a moment and said, "Mammy, let's prepare for the two children."

"But that Concubine Li is not..."

"Mammy, you forgot that the child is not just Concubine Li's, it's also the prince's child."

Nanny An used to work in the imperial palace, where she always believed that a son’s status was determined by his mother’s, and vice versa. I’m afraid she has never understood this.

How many children does the emperor have?

How many princes are there?

Although giving birth is easy for men, just looking at the birth rate in the royal palace, we can tell that giving birth is still quite a difficult problem for King Zhao.

Nanny An was successfully persuaded.

Come to think of it, it makes sense. If we prepare more gifts, it will be too much. But if they are not enough when the time comes, it will be a joke.

Ji Yunqing took a spoon and took a bite of the half watermelon in his hand. Hmm, it was quite sweet.

The watermelons planted this year are much better than last year's. After she selects the seeds and plants them year after year, she can always pick out big, sweet and delicious watermelons.

She swallowed the fruit pulp and continued with half-closed eyes: "Mammy, everyone likes to do superficial work, and the prince also likes to watch, do you understand?"

Aunt An nodded: "I understand."

The banquet was held in the main courtyard.

As soon as Ji Yunqing stepped into the main courtyard, he saw Concubine Li, whom he had not seen for a long time.

She was talking to Concubine Lou and the others, with her usual faint smile on her face.

Seeing Ji Yunqing coming in, she took the initiative to greet her, her eyes still as gentle and moving as she remembered: "Sister Ji, long time no see!"

Ji Yunqing put away the surprise on his face and quickly looked at the other person. Concubine Li was thinner and paler. Her wrists, which were exposed by the wide sleeves, were extremely thin. She could barely wear a green jade bracelet, which made her look even more empty.

"Concubine Li? Long time no see, you've lost a lot of weight!"

She stretched out her hand to measure Concubine Li's waist: "How come it has become so thin? Concubine Li, you must take good care of yourself."

Concubine Li's eyes also turned red: "I didn't expect that after so long, Sister Ji would still miss me so much."

"Look at what you said. Which courtyard in our mansion doesn't miss you? Concubine Li, stop crying. If you cry, your sisters' hearts will be broken!"

Others also came forward to comfort her: "Don't cry, if you cry, we...we..." She tried several times, but she really couldn't say those cheesy words that Ji Yunqing said.

And "my heart is about to break"

How did you come up with this?

Has Ji Yunqing forgotten that Concubine Li was the one who planned to kill Ji Yunqing's child, and that's why she was locked up?

At that time, someone wanted to take Ji Yunqing's child away, but she "happened" to see it. Later it was found out that the mastermind behind it was Concubine Li.

Could it be that Ji Yunqing has forgotten all this?

At this moment, everyone heard Concubine Li's sobbing voice: "Sister Ji, do you finally forgive me when you say this? That's great!"
