Chapter 236
The little maid comforted her master: "Master, I heard from you that this concubine Ji once learned to play the piano. Even if she is not good at it, she can learn it again now and start with you. She will not be too bad at all."
Concubine Zhao looked at the little maid with a sad face: "That's because you don't know how bad she plays!"
The little maid really didn't know. She arrived at the mansion much later and now she could only rack her brains to continue comforting her master.
"Master, don't forget that only those who have endured hardships can become the best. Your first priority now is to build a good relationship with Concubine Ji."
Concubine Zhao was impatient: "I know."
She muttered, "Will this work?"
The little maid was very confident. She analyzed seriously: "Master, think about it, now that Concubine Ji is under house arrest, if the prince misses Master Ji but doesn't want to go in because of his feelings, then he might come to find you. That will be your chance."
Concubine Zhao found this idea too difficult.
She was greatly surprised: "Would the prince wrong himself like this?"
The prince put that woman Ji Yunqing under house arrest, not himself.
If he wants to see Ji Yunqing, isn’t it just a matter of saying a word?
But maybe the prince was annoyed and would never go to Ji Yunqing again!
The master and servant were discussing Ji Yunqing, and there were other people in the mansion who were also discussing Ji Yunqing.
The princess was half lying on the bed, her face haggard as she listened to the news: "Did you find out?"
Madam Lou shook her head and said, "Princess, I didn't find out anything. I only know that the prince and Concubine Ji stayed in the study of Osmanthus Courtyard for a while. When they came out, the prince ordered that Osmanthus Courtyard be confined to the room."
The princess listened to the silence for a while and said: "Pay attention to it during this period, and don't neglect the Osmanthus Courtyard."
When Nanny Lou heard this, she felt very reluctant.
"Miss, that little slut has finally been punished by the prince, why don't we take advantage of this opportunity..."
"no"
Seeing Nanny Lou's expression, the princess was really worried and explained: "Don't push people into a desperate situation. Besides, it's just some food and clothes, and it's not worth much."
Nanny Lou was still unwilling to give in and had a plan in mind.
"Mammy, cough cough"
The princess coughed twice and quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
Nanny Lou immediately poured a cup of tea at the right temperature and placed it in front of the princess.
"Princess, please stop talking and drink some water first."
The princess was served and took a sip of water before continuing, "As long as people have food and drink and live a comfortable life, they won't cause any major trouble."
Just like the common people, when they couldn't make ends meet, they started to revolt.
Nanny Lou felt that this was too good of an opportunity for that little slut, so she would rather take advantage of her illness to kill her and make her die.
But the princess disagreed, so Nanny Lou had no choice but to give up.
She thought about it again, then thought of the child, and suggested: "Princess, now that the one in Guihua Courtyard has offended the prince, we can't let the little prince suffer with him. Why don't we bring the child over and take good care of him?"
As time goes by, maybe this child will become a member of the main courtyard!
It also relieved the princess of a worry.
I remembered the little child I met at the one-year-old birthday banquet that day. He was smart and cute, and he also gave her gifts.
The princess couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile on her lips.
Although the child is small, he is indeed very smart.
Seeing the princess like this, Nanny Lou knew that she liked this child.
He volunteered, "I will go and hold the child myself, and I will definitely get it done!"
The princess shook her head and her smile faded: "No need"
"Miss!"
"This is not a trivial matter. I need to discuss it with the prince first."
Madam Lou couldn't help but get anxious: "What if the prince doesn't agree?"
"If you don't agree, then there's nothing I can do"
She sighed and asked, "How is Concubine Qian's pregnancy going?"
Madam Lou knew that her master had made up her mind, so she could only go along with her and say, "It's still the same these days, with miscarriages from time to time. The doctor said the baby isn't looking good."
"Then take good care of her and don't let her worry about anything."
"Yes"
Nanny Lou was very concerned about this matter. What if Concubine Qian gave birth to a healthy boy, the princess would be willing to adopt him.
She is not talking nonsense. The older a man gets, the worse the children he fathers are.
"Has that matter... been found out?"
Madam Lou also lowered her voice: "I asked the boy at home to take it to the doctor. The doctor said that there is nothing wrong with the medicine. Without seeing the person, the doctor can't find the cause."
The princess was silent. It was not easy for her to leave the house.
"Let me think about it again"

The next day
Early in the morning, concubine Zhao came to the outside of the wall of Osmanthus Courtyard with two zithers.
One is for myself, and the other is for Ji Yunqing.
The two of them passed things across a wall. Ji Yunqing stood on a chair and looked at the zither passed over the wall. He couldn't help but sigh: "We look like those little kids who have expressed their feelings to each other!"
Concubine Zhao's face turned dark. She stood on tiptoe and raised her arm to hand over the zither, wishing she could hit the other person in the face.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
But she couldn't smash it because she was the one who was holding the piano and moving it in.
If she let go, the piano would surely hit her in the face.
Ji Yunqing laughed: "It's just a casual remark, don't take it seriously"
Through the wall, the two began to teach piano.
After a while, Ji Yunqing said he understood and started to play the piano excitedly.
Across the wall, Concubine Zhao turned her head and looked at the little maid who had patiently advised her yesterday, signaling her to listen carefully.
Then he took out the earplugs he had made overnight and stuffed them tightly into his ears.
The noise was reduced a lot at once.
Ji Yunqing played two or three songs excitedly and felt that she had a really good touch today. She had learned the essence!
The little maidservant who followed Concubine Zhao outside didn't take it seriously at first. How bad could this sound be?
And then the later ones were really unpleasant to listen to, and they hurt my ears!
And later on, he couldn't hold back his expression anymore, are you coming again?
I had originally wanted to lay the groundwork for a while longer, but now... the little maid kept winking at her master.
That's it!
Let’s move on to the next step.
Concubine Zhao was mentally prepared. She felt that the two of them had a good discussion yesterday, and it was a bit hasty to bring it forward now.
So he turned a deaf ear to her and even gave her hypocritical praise: "You have indeed made great progress, Concubine Ji, you have practiced a lot, right?"
At this point, she suddenly had an idea. If the prince heard the music...
The prince might, no, definitely dislike Ji Yunqing.
"If the prince hears the sound of the piano, he might appreciate you very much."
With the constant flattery from Concubine Zhao, Ji Yunqing felt even more confused.
She said cheerfully: "Today, I, Concubine Zhao, have a great opportunity. You can listen to the music that even the prince cannot hear."
Concubine Zhao: “…”
She almost died after listening to it, she really didn't want it!
But he said: "That's great, I can enjoy myself today"
Ji Yunqing was very happy to be coaxed: "You are destined to enjoy this happiness!"
Such a life of luxury... Concubine Zhao declined politely!
She was about to speak when she saw a figure leading a group of servants walking towards her from the corner of her eye.
The words in his mouth also changed: "I am not destined to enjoy a good life. Look, here comes the real one!"
