Chapter 218 Passing a small note
Now, Ji Yunqing had some peace for a while.
Until Concubine Cen came over.
"Concubine Ji, do you remember? Didn't I just say that I had something to tell you? Now you can tell me, right?"
Ji Yunqing nodded calmly: "What's the matter, tell me"
Seeing that she was sitting there motionless and didn't even bother to lift her butt, Cen Xi gritted his teeth.
How could she do anything right here, with so many people watching?
"Why don't we go outside and talk?" Cen Xi looked around awkwardly and said tactfully, "There are too many people here."
"Go out and talk?"
Ji Yunqing frowned: "Forget it, think about it carefully, I don't really want to hear it"
What on earth was that? Why did she have to go out and listen?
She didn't want to go out, so Concubine Cen gritted her teeth, took a step forward, held Ji Yunqing's hand, and then sat down on the ground at the back.
……sit?
I can't sit down!
Cen Xi looked at his wrist which was quickly grasped and unable to be freed, and he forgot all the lines he had prepared.
"You! Why are you pulling me?"
Ji Yunqing lowered his eyes, raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you pull me first?"
"But...but..."
Cen Xi wanted to frame Ji Yunqing for pushing her, and pretend that Ji Yunqing pushed her and then she sat on the ground.
Play the role of a victim well and everything will fall into place.
She originally wanted to find a place outside, but Ji Yunqing didn't go out, so she could only improvise.
But she thought of it all, but she didn't expect it.
As the two people's wide sleeves overlapped, Concubine Cen's wrist trembled and her eyes suddenly widened.
She, she felt someone grab her hand and touch it forcefully!
Ji Yunqing actually dared to touch her!
How is this possible?
Concubine Cen immediately struggled to break free and took three or four steps back before she stopped in shock.
"How could you, how could you do this!"
Her pretty face quietly blushed, in public.
How could she be like this!
Shameless!
She was responded by the other person's rather innocent eyes.
"Concubine Cen, what's wrong with me? Luckily I was kind enough to pull you up just now, otherwise you would have fallen down."
"By the way, why did you suddenly come up to me and pull me just now?"
Pretending to be a decent person, Concubine Cen dared to swear that she really felt Ji Yunqing touching her just now.
In a flash, Concubine Cen thought of how she had pretended to be the scholar named Zeng and wrote letters to Ji Yunqing in order to prove that she was having an affair with him.
In order to make the letter more authentic, Concubine Cen racked her brains and spent the whole day immersed in books, painstakingly thinking of some affectionate verses to write down.
What she was thinking about now were the countless love letters she had written to Ji Yunqing.
In order to achieve authenticity, she practiced her handwriting and carefully pondered this thought.
If Ji Yunqing knew this secret, would he use it to threaten me and then do something...
Something that she doesn't like but has to give in to?
Her cheeks were rosy, and Concubine Cen looked like a delicate peach blossom.
So, Ji Yunqing looked at Concubine Cen's condition with a confused face, from a pitiful little white flower in the wind, to the little peach blossom now.
What's going on?
She didn't do anything, did she?
"What are you doing?"
King Zhao came over.
Everyone immediately stood up and looked at King Zhao.
"Your Majesty, we were just joking."
Concubine Xu Shu explained with a smile.
"is it?"
King Zhao looked at Ji Yunqing, then at Cen Xi who was standing there, and always felt that the atmosphere was not right.
"That's how it is, Your Highness." When the concubine saw the prince coming, she actively came over to explain.
She just happened to see the whole thing!
It’s just right now.
"Just now, Concubine Cen somehow took the initiative to get close to Concubine Ji, but they soon separated again."
So nothing happened.
King Zhao frowned, feeling that something was not right.
"Cen took the initiative to approach Concubine Ji?"
He looked at Concubine Cen with sharp eyes: "Everything should be done with moderation!"
Concubine Cen was frightened by the look in King Zhao's eyes when he looked at his adulterer.
"My Lord, that's not the case!"
Isn't that right?
It's not like that, why are you blushing?
King Zhao had a gloomy face, wondering whether he should make another rule that even women had to keep a three-foot distance when meeting each other.
The voice of Wang's concubine could still be heard in my ears.
"Your Highness, I saw it with all my heart. It was Concubine Cen who took the initiative to reach out and grab Concubine Ji's hand. The two of them just..."
Concubine Wang didn't say anything, but gestured with her hand: "It's this close."
"That's true, but Concubine Ji..." Concubine Cen was angry and wanted to say that Concubine Ji seemed to have intentions towards her.
Ji Yunqing thought that he couldn't continue questioning her, so she said at the right time: "Your Majesty, Concubine Cen probably didn't do it on purpose. When I saw Concubine Cen approaching, I was also surprised.
I'm afraid that I can't stand steadily. I wonder if I, Cen, have sprained my ankle. Should I ask the palace doctor to come and check on me?"
"do not want!"
Concubine Cen blurted out.
Her violent reaction aroused everyone's doubts.
Only then did Concubine Cen realize that she had overreacted.
She hurriedly explained: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but today is the Fourth Young Master's auspicious day. There is no need to bring bad luck to me. Moreover, there are so many guests here, so I'd better not be too ostentatious."
This reason is normal.
King Zhao gave Ji Yunqing a warning look and said calmly, "There are so many people here today, don't make trouble."
Then he turned around and left.
After King Zhao left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
King Zhao was in such a low mood just now that everyone standing nearby was terrified.
Even Wang's concubine, who had seized the opportunity to show off, secretly regretted it.
It was Ji Yunqing who reacted first: "Concubine Cen, if you feel unwell, don't be afraid to see a doctor!"
Concubine Cen was now devoid of thoughts and found an excuse to leave in a hurry.
She didn't notice the meaningful looks from others.
We are not stupid.
Concubine Cen’s reaction just now was so obvious that it was hard not to know.
As for how to investigate next, that is everyone's private matter.
Ji Yunqing spoke a few words to Wang Shiqi who came over, and just as he was about to send her away, a small note was stuffed into his hand.
Noticing something strange about his palm, Ji Yunqing remained calm.
I continued to exchange a few words with Wang's concubine. When no one was paying attention, she whispered quickly, "This was just given to me by a little maid and asked me to give it to you."
Ji Yunqing was puzzled.
So why not just give it to yourself?
Seeing Ji Yunqing's confusion, Concubine Wang signaled her with her eyes, asking her to look at the table.
Then he left directly.
Ji Yunqing didn't understand what was going on, so he opened the silver thread roll on the table and found a small note inside.
He picked up the top piece of hibiscus cake and found another small note.
I turned over the belly of the braised fish again and found another small piece of paper.
Ji Yunqing: “…”
She searched through everything on the table and found a total of about ten identical little notes.
It turned out that it wasn't that she wasn't told, but that she didn't know about it.
