Chapter 215
After attending the Fourth Miss's one-year-old birthday banquet, the next event was the Third Young Master's one-year-old birthday banquet.
To be honest, King Zhao worked really hard during that period.
As a result, everyone is very busy now.
The Third Young Master's one-year-old birthday banquet was prepared by Concubine Wen from beginning to end. Nothing happened during the banquet. The Third Young Master caught a piece of jade during the one-year-old birthday banquet and received a lot of praise and also got his own name.
Gu Yanyun
Next in line would be Ji Yunqing’s fourth child.
Ji Yunqing was originally very excited and nervous, but after several consecutive grasping of the week, she became calm and composed.
It’s the same old thing, the prince worked too hard during that period, and she has become somewhat used to it.
The day finally came for Ruirui to become the protagonist.
early in the morning
Nanny An and several maids worked together to take care of Ruirui, and together with the new nanny Li, they dressed Ruirui in a beautiful red dress.
Ji Yunqing yawned as he looked at the little guy in front of him. He stretched out his hand and gently pinched his tender face, and said jokingly, "Hey, whose big red envelope is this?"
Ruirui was full of energy. Since being taken away by his biological father, he seemed to have awakened. His speaking ability improved rapidly. At this time, he shouted clearly: "My home!"
Mine!
Taking advantage of the fact that the child was not as fluent as she was, Ji Yunqing retorted: "You said it's yours, so it's yours? I said you're mine!"
What is your home and my home?
This passage successfully confused the child.
Ruirui opened her big black eyes and said in a baby voice, "Yeah? Mommy is from my family, yeah?"
"That's enough," Ji Yunqing said in the end, "It's time to take the pig out for a walk after raising it for so many years. Don't embarrass me today!"
Little Ruirui patted his chest and said with the simple words he had just learned: "Ruirui, it's my fault!"
Ji Yunqing's mouth twitched. Do you know what this means, kid?
Would it embarrass her?
Since Ji Yunqing had a lot of things to do today, she arranged for Nanny An and the new nanny Li to take good care of the children, and she went out early with Xuancao and Hongdou.
Concubine Wen is already in Qianshi Garden.
When Ji Yunqing arrived, he saw that the whole venue was crowded but not messy. It was well organized and looked very unusual.
She was convinced: "Sister is the best. Why can't I be so good? If I didn't have sister, I don't know what I would do!"
As she spoke, she sighed in a serious manner.
Seems really sad.
Concubine Wen was very fond of her tricks. She smiled and scolded: "You are so smooth-talking. I don't believe you can't do it without me."
It was not like she didn't know during this period that Ji Yunqing wanted to do something, and it was quite efficient.
Even if they have never done this and lack experience, they are proactive, good at planning, and quick at calculating accounts.
Ever since she discovered this, Concubine Wen has been able to use her skills very smoothly.
Unfortunately, Ji Yunqing was too cunning. She only calculated the accounts related to the one-year-old banquet and had nothing to do with other things.
If asked, just say you don't understand.
Ji Yunqing swore: "Anyway, my sister is the best, this is not wrong, right?"
Next, Ji Yunqing provided all-round flattering services to Concubine Wen, and Concubine Wen became even more motivated.
The entire one-year-old banquet was held to perfection, and the servants were ordered around in circles.
Fortunately, everything that needed to be prepared had already been prepared, so even though it was a bit busy it wasn't too chaotic.
After a while, the little maid outside came to report.
"Replying to Concubine, Concubine, the two concubines from Prince Lie's Palace have arrived."
Already arrived?
The two looked at each other, both very surprised.
Look at the sky again.
It’s still early to confirm!
How come you came so fast?
"I'll go over and have a look"
Seeing that the concubine had no intention of going to greet him, Ji Yunqing was very tactful and took the initiative to speak.
Concubine Wen indeed agreed.
It was a good day today, with bright sunshine and clear skies. Ji Yunqing saw the little maid leading a group of people from a distance.
The two people in the middle, dressed up in fancy clothes, were none other than Concubine Fang and Concubine Zeng of Prince Lie's palace.
Concubine Fang was wearing a pomegranate skirt, which was bright and eye-catching.
Concubine Zeng was no less beautiful, wearing a flower-cage skirt with flower and bird patterns woven in gold and silver threads, which was particularly eye-catching. Coupled with her fair skin and graceful figure, she looked like a great beauty in ancient times.
Two concubines came to Prince Lie's palace at once!
Apart from this, there are no other female relatives.
Looking at Concubine Zeng, who had completely lost the charm of her former talent and acted like a little girl, Ji Yunqing still had a smile on his face, but his heart was actually filled with confusion.
I really don’t know what Zeng Cheng went through in Prince Lie’s Palace!
In the past at Prince Zhao's Mansion, she could tell Zeng Cheng's identity at a glance, and the other party would deliberately make an orchid finger gesture, but now... if she hadn't known it long ago, she really wouldn't have been able to tell!
At the same time, Ji Yunqing had a doubt in his mind.
Looking at this, Zeng Cheng doesn't look like he can still be a man!
So what was the point of writing those letters to her?
Or was it that the letter was not written by him, but someone impersonated him?
This is also possible. What if there are some talented people who can imitate other people's handwriting?
There were many thoughts in his mind, but it didn't show on his face.
Ji Yunqing smiled and went to greet them: "I am late. If I had known that the two concubines would come so early, I should have gone to greet them earlier."
"You're too polite, Concubine Ji."
Concubine Fang recognized Ji Yunqing's identity at a glance: "It's me and Concubine Zeng. We thought we'd come here early to see if there's anything we can do to help."
"How can we ask guests for help? Since the two concubines are here today, just have fun and don't be restrained."
Ji Yunqing did not forget to ask: "The two concubines came today, and I thought I could see a few young masters."
Speaking of this, Concubine Fang's smile faded a little, and Concubine Zeng also put away her smile.
"What's the matter?" Ji Yunqing was confused, "Did I say something wrong?"
Concubine Fang sighed, still smiling: "The concubine and I hit it off right away, so there's no need to hide it.
The concubine doesn’t know that the prince was worried that my younger sister and I wouldn’t be able to take good care of the children, so he gave all eight children to the concubine.”
It was a waste of her time thinking that with so many of them, she could at least get a child to raise!
Who knew the princess would be so greedy.
Upon hearing the news, Ji Yunqing raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Don't worry, Concubine Fang. Maybe it's not your destiny yet. If you have a biological child, wouldn't it be even more joyful?"
This was pleasant to the ear, and Concubine Fang's brows relaxed slightly.
But he said, "How can it be that easy?"
She held Concubine Zeng's hand and said, "Now, I am counting on Concubine Zeng to give birth to a few more children, so that I can share in the joy when the time comes."
If there are eight more, the prince can't ask the princess to support them all, right?
As long as the child is not raised by a princess, she is at the same level as Concubine Zeng, so she can at least have one.
Concubine Zeng's face froze when her hand was suddenly grabbed. It was bad enough that they were talking about having children, but they were doing it in front of his former fiancée, which made Zeng Cheng very annoyed.
But he was worried about something and didn't dare to get angry.
In the end, he could only glare at Ji Yunqing angrily.
Ji Yunqing was a little confused by the glare.
It's not me who induced the birth, why are you glaring at me?
Concubine Fang was keenly aware of the exchange of glances between the two. Her eyes flickered and she pretended to be clueless and said, "Now that the Fourth Young Master is not a child anymore, I'm afraid the concubine will also have good news, right?"
"Sister Fang is right." Zeng Cheng's fair and smooth face is delicately made up, with slightly curled red lips, hiding countless temptations.
"When will Concubine Ji give the Fourth Young Master a brother or sister? That would be perfect."
Ji Yunqing couldn't help but let his eyes linger on Zeng Cheng's beautiful red lips for a moment before he said, "Having such a bad boy is already annoying enough. As for me, I just want to have some free time."
Zeng Cheng was very annoyed by the gaze of this little bitch. What are you looking at?
If a little beauty had looked at him like this before, he would have felt so proud, but now...
Was she making fun of herself?
The system was also very angry, and kept jumping up and down in Zeng Cheng's mind: "Host, don't be tempted by her. There is no possibility for you and her. You two can't have children.
It is said that many princes and nobles are coming back today. We will pick out the best ones and give birth to eight or ten of them!"
When Zeng Cheng heard the number “eight”, he became extremely sensitive.
"Who wants to have so many children at once? Don't we have enough points?"
The system said aggrievedly: "Host, don't you want to look better? Besides, with more points, you can repair your body, and then you can have many more children! It's definitely worth it."
For the rest of the journey, Concubine Fang and Ji Yunqing were chatting, while Yi and Tong were arguing about the issue of having children.
“Having a baby is not an easy thing”
"...Host, you have changed. Didn't you always say that giving birth is so easy, just like a hen laying eggs?"
"Giving birth to a child is so easy, why don't you give birth yourself?"
"Tong also wants to give birth to her own child, but it's not that Tong can't give birth. The little cubs are so cute, what's wrong with the host giving birth to a few more?"
"Don't be so serious. Try giving birth to more children, and you'll find that giving birth is a beautiful and healing thing. When you're angry, you'll always feel better when you see the smile of the little cubs."
"Other hosts can give birth, why can't you? Stop being so hypocritical."
On the other side, Ji Yunqing brought the two of them to Qianshi Garden.
The moment he saw Qianshi Garden, Ji Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally arrived.
You have to know what a shy and timid little girl she was. How could she withstand the various provocations and temptations from Concubine Fang, an old-fashioned woman?
At the same time, Concubine Fang also stopped.
She looked at the lively scene in Qianshi Garden, and finally hinted meaningfully: "It is said that the princess in the palace has no children? Alas, the princess of King Lie is also so unlucky. Fortunately, she adopted the child of Zeng Meijie, so she has someone to rely on.
I just don't know what the Princess of Zhao is thinking? It is said that there are only four children in the palace?"
Ji Yunqing smiled firmly: "Concubine Fang, you are joking. The prince has eight children, four boys and four girls. The princess is also gentle and kind, so Concubine Fang doesn't need to worry about them."
"That's good"
Concubine Fang continued to walk forward, saying as she walked: "If sister Ji encounters any troubles in the future, you might as well talk to me. Maybe I can help you."
Ji Yunqing found this incomprehensible. What could she be worried about?
Can’t push the new millstone?
Or is it that the child pooped and no one helped change her diaper?
After thinking it over, Ji Yunqing still chose his words carefully and said cautiously: "Don't worry, Concubine Fang. Now I have the grace of the prince and I have no worries in raising a child."
A heart-wrenching remark almost made Concubine Fang stumble.
Ji Yunqing was horrified and hurried to stop him: "Concubine Fang, be careful!"
As she spoke, she pulled Concubine Fang's slender arm hard, preventing her from falling to the ground.
After the other party stood firm, Ji Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the flat path on the ground, wondering in his heart: "Can someone fall on this flat ground?"
Or is Concubine Fang calcium deficient?
Concubine Fang was so angry that her arms were shaking, and she fiercely shook off Ji Yunqing's hand.
"Thank you, Concubine."
You're the only one with kids, right?
You are showing off that you have a child now, but you never know when this child will be taken away by someone else!
When that time comes, let Concubine Ji cry.
Ji Yunqing saw that Concubine Fang's expression had changed again, and he seemed to be filled with joy from the bottom of his heart.
She was even more puzzled. He fell but didn't hit his head. How could his brain be damaged?
"Why are you all standing here? Don't you know how to go in?"
Concubine Wen was standing at the door and saw from a distance... someone was pulling and tugging.
"It took you so long to pick someone up, and you even cried when your child couldn't find you."
Ji Yunqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Concubine. Ruirui won't cry like that." He has been taken there by his father and stayed there for several days, so he is fine, isn't he?
Who knew that after saying this, Concubine Wen would become unhappy again.
With a gloomy face, he said impatiently, "The child is just crying because he misses you. Go and see him. He's crying so hard that my head hurts!"
So this is ah!
Just wonder why Concubine Wen suddenly started to care about the child.
Ji Yunqing suddenly realized.
She quickly said: "Then I'll go see the child first, I'll go first"
After saying this, he left in a hurry.
Concubine Wen was left looking critically at the woman in front of her.
"You are dressed so gorgeously, Concubine Fang is in a good mood!"
Concubine Fang is already very familiar with Concubine Wen.
She handled it skillfully and asked about her good friend Concubine Li's recent situation.
"Oh, you mean Concubine Li. She is resting in the small Buddhist temple in the mansion. If Concubine Fang has nothing to do, you can go and see her old friend."
Concubine Fang remained calm: "If there is a chance, I will go naturally."
Concubine Wen looked at the legendary woman who gave birth to eight treasures.
She looked at it carefully.
The last time I went to Prince Lie's mansion, Concubine Zeng was recuperating in her own yard. After all, she had given birth to eight children and needed more care, so many people didn't have the chance to see her.
As she watched, Concubine Wen suddenly laughed.
"This is Concubine Zeng, right? What a coincidence, there was once a concubine in Prince Zhao's palace, and I think she looks a bit like Concubine Zeng.
What a coincidence, I vaguely remember that the concubine's surname was also Zeng."
"Really? That's a coincidence."
Zeng Cheng was used to these words. He responded calmly and showed an interested expression: "Where is that concubine now?"
"She was a beautiful woman with a tragic fate. She is long gone!"
