Chapter 192: There is not a single bit of literary talent at all!
Concubine Li Shu quickly asked, "What do you remember?"
"I only remember..."
Zhaocai had peeked once, and she pretended to be thinking hard: "What are the words I said before the pillow to express my feelings, and what are I thinking about in the past? How many happy encounters there were, but who knew it would be difficult to meet and part"
(Both poems were written by Liu Yong, one from "Jade Girl Shaking the Fairy Pendant·Beautiful Woman", the other from "Qu Yuguan·Clouds Flying at Longshou")
"Um……"
Zhaocai frowned and thought hard, then shook his head and said, "I am stupid, I really don't remember the rest."
Concubine Li listened quietly and said softly: "Good boy, you did a great job."
She looked at King Zhao again and said, "Your Majesty, although I haven't seen the letter, I see that this girl is very convincing and doesn't seem to be lying. Perhaps there is something hidden behind it?"
Ji Yunqing curled her lips: "Li Shufei, just tell me that I hid the letter!"
Concubine Li smiled helplessly and looked at Ji Yunqing tolerantly: "Sister Ji, you are young and sometimes you are impatient and it is inevitable that there are some omissions. This maid is also pitiful..."
"After all, what you are saying is that there was such a letter, and I did something with it."
Concubine Li was still gentle and kind. The other party showed his emotions, but she seemed to always be so steady, so good-tempered, and so tolerant.
The difference between the two is immediately apparent.
Concubine Li's good temper and reputation for being gentle and kind spread out little by little.
The same is true now.
If Ji Yunqing cannot explain it clearly, then it doesn't matter even if we don't know where the letter is.
The smile on Concubine Li's face grew bigger and bigger.
In response, Ji Yunqing curled his lips and chose not to talk to her.
She turned to look at King Zhao and shouted aggrievedly, "Prince!"
A pair of almond eyes were full of grievance: "My Lord, what's going on today?"
She counted on her thin fingers: "It's inexplicable that I made boots for a man outside, but I don't know how to sew at all.
They also inexplicably said that I had an affair with a man outside my home, and that the man outside my home wrote me a fictitious letter, but I couldn’t find the letter.”
Concubine Li Shu felt something was wrong: "Sister Ji, the sisters also made reasonable guesses..."
Ji Yunqing felt even more aggrieved. Her voice easily drowned out the soft-spoken Concubine Li, and she said loudly, "What's even more inexplicable is Concubine Li. Oh my God, why would she rather believe an outsider than me?
Doesn’t Concubine Li treat me as a sister?
Your Majesty, didn’t you tell me that once we entered this palace, we are all good sisters and should get along well with each other?
You only told me this?"
Ji Yunqing's eyes were full of resentment. King Zhao coughed lightly and said, "Concubine Li, you are too biased."
"Prince"
Concubine Li felt that she was not wrong, as she had always done so before. "That little maid was so pitiful, and I don't think she is a bad person."
"She doesn't look like a bad person, so am I a bad person?
Concubine Li, open your eyes and look at me. Don't you have a clear conscience if you slander me like this?"
Ji Yunqing spoke with true feelings, his eyes were filled with tears, and he looked extremely pitiful.
When others saw this scene, they couldn't help but laugh in their hearts.
I don't know how many people were deceived by Concubine Li's move.
Concubine Xu sighed: "Oh my! Concubine Li, you are too unreasonable. Look at how Sister Ji bullied you. Our Sister Ji is an honest person. She is really reasonable.
I won't fall for your attitude that you are weak and therefore you are right."
Concubine Li Shu's face was particularly ugly. She forced a smile with great difficulty and said, "Sister Ji misunderstood. I just don't want to wrongly accuse a good person.
But if Sister Ji really didn't do those things, don't worry too much. This maid may have heard it wrong. Just be clear in your conscience."
"If you don't want to wrongly accuse a good person, then you can wrongly accuse me?"
Ji Yunqing asked back.
Then he said seriously: "Li Shufei, since you think that the maid is right, please show us the evidence. Only with evidence can we convict her.
Your ambiguous attitude will only make things messy, and you still think it’s okay to do everything with a clear conscience? "
"What is is what it is. You are just trying to whitewash the situation, but in reality, it only builds your reputation and lets everyone see that you did a good thing.
However, in reality, no one knows whether the maid was lying or really saw it. As long as she stays in the mansion, she will always be charged with slandering her master. Who would dare to employ her in the future? You?"
"Sister Ji, what you said is too serious..."
"I haven't finished yet. What about me? Did I have an affair with a man outside my family? What's the matter with that letter?
If you don't explain clearly, Concubine Li, do you want me to bear the charge of adultery forever and be rejected by the prince in the end?"
Ji Yunqing's eyes were dark as he stared at Concubine Li: "Concubine Li, I always speak directly. I don't have any bad intentions. I just said it casually."
"But if it is really as I guessed, then Concubine Li, you are such a bad person!"
Concubine Li said solemnly: "Concubine Ji, please be careful with your words!"
Ji Yunqing ignored her and looked directly at Prince Zhao: "Your Highness, I don't know how to sew. We have searched the yard. You can't just accuse me without any evidence, right?"
King Zhao had already quietly finished reading the letters and was reaching for the accompanying book.
He put away the letters after reading them, and now only this book is left, a thick travelogue that is almost as thick as a brick.
I just don’t know what the contents are, and why they are being taken away.
Hearing Ji Yunqing's words, King Zhao nodded nonchalantly: "Well, I believe you, but I did read what the maid said just now."
Everyone looked at King Zhao in shock, unable to hide their expressions.
Your Majesty... have you found the letter?
Concubine Wen said quickly: "My Lord, where is the letter?"
She wanted to see who wrote the letter.
For some reason, King Zhao did not look angry. On the contrary, his expression was quite good, and there was even a hint of spring breeze on his face.
No, no, no, they must have seen it wrong.
How could the prince be so happy because of a letter from an adulterer?
Concubine Cen's heart was pounding so hard that it almost jumped out.
She wanted to laugh out loud.
I don’t know whether Ji Yunqing was extremely bold or simply stupid, to have managed to mix that letter in with so many letters.
It was not in vain, her letter was not in vain!
As everyone was excited, King Zhao said, "Well, that letter was written to me by Ji."
After that, he added: "Those letters were all written to this king, and the contents were all like this..."
King Zhao didn't say it, but those who understood understood.
"It's just that Ji's writing skills are limited. Only this one letter is barely acceptable. What are the other letters about? There is no literary talent at all!"
