Chapter 240
Only after Concubine Zhao left with her future goddaughter did Ji Yunqing swallow his saliva.
She raised her hand and slapped herself lightly on the mouth.
I told you to talk nonsense with your broken mouth, now it's okay, are you satisfied?
Even concubine Zhao was called a fool.
Ruirui, sitting on the crib, carefully imitated his mother's actions and patted his own little mouth with his chubby little hands.
"Clap"
The crisp sound of the slap made Ji Yunqing look down, and then she couldn't help but twitch her lips: "Look at you, you silly guy, why are you hitting yourself with such force? Just pretend."
It's confirmed. She must have inherited King Zhao's stupidity. She has never been so stupid before.
Ruirui saw his mother smiling at him and thought that his mother was praising him, so he also smiled happily.
Concubine Zhao never came back after she left this time until new rumors spread in the mansion.
Concubine Zhao took her personal maid as her goddaughter!
Ruyi's little sister came quietly to gossip with Ruyi about the news, and the two of them chatted for a long time across the wall.
The maid outside was very envious: "Other maids can only recognize a nanny or a housekeeper as their godmother, but Sulan is so lucky that she can recognize a concubine."
Ruyi knew the whole process, but she didn't dare tell anyone without her master's permission.
He could only pick out some unimportant words: "Now, when Sulan gets married in two years, Concubine Zhao will be able to enjoy the filial respect of her son-in-law! This is much faster than the other masters in the mansion!"
"Who says it's not true?" The little maid outside the wall also followed up: "In a few years, Concubine Zhao will have many children and grandchildren!"
Ji Yunqing's mouth twitched when he heard this.
A house full of children and grandchildren!
It was hard to believe that someone who had entered the mansion with her and was about the same age as her was already at the forefront of life.
By the next day, the gossip in the mansion had changed again.
Because King Zhao actually went to Baihuayuan!
This is the courtyard where concubine Zhao lives.
Hearing that King Zhao was coming soon, Zhao's concubine was surprised and happy.
"Come, prepare some water, I need to take a bath, and prepare my clothes."
The whole yard immediately became chaotic.
Although Sulan became the goddaughter of concubine Zhao, she knew that this was just a momentary impulse of her master and did not dare to be presumptuous at all.
"Master, it's probably too late to take a bath now. Why don't you change your clothes and get dressed again?"
This made sense, and Concubine Zhao hurriedly changed her clothes and picked out jewelry.
When King Zhao arrived, he saw from a distance his concubine Zhao and a group of servants standing at the door to greet him.
He paused and couldn't help but compare it with the Osmanthus Courtyard.
Why didn't Ji ever greet him with such respect?
As soon as the concubine Zhao saw King Zhao, she bowed hurriedly. Her waist was slender and soft, which was extremely seductive.
King Zhao's gaze paused on that waist. I guess Ji's waist isn't that thin?
Considering that she only eats three bowls of rice in one meal, it's impossible for her to be picky.
But the feel is still very good, and King Zhao likes the soft touch very much.
He shook his head and thought no more.
He entered the door first and sat at the seat of honor. Concubine Zhao followed him respectfully but did not dare to sit down.
King Zhao looked around and asked, "Where is your new goddaughter?"
Concubine Zhao's heart suddenly rose in her arms.
She didn't know why King Zhao asked this question, so she could only test it carefully.
"Your Highness, I originally heard from Concubine Ji that adopting a child would easily bring in brothers and sisters, so..."
King Zhao frowned. Why is there no Du Ji family?
He secretly made a note of this, and then asked, "Child? How old is the little maid?"
Concubine Zhao was even more panicked now. The little maid Sulan was only 28 years old this year and could not be considered a child.
What if the prince falls in love with Sulan, wouldn't she be shooting herself in the foot?
King Zhao saw that she had taken so long to finish her words, so he said directly: "Call the little maid out and let us see."
This time, even though Concubine Zhao was unwilling, she had no choice but to point out Sulan.
King Zhao carefully looked at the little maid in front of him, smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay!"
Soon, Prince Zhao married off a daughter.
Concubine Zhao was dumbfounded. Now that Sulan was gone, who would give her advice?
But thinking about it, she felt happy. From now on, she wouldn't have to worry about Sulan competing with her for favor.
Concubine Zhao, who had disappeared for a few days, decided to regroup and came to the outside of the Osmanthus Courtyard again.
She planned to continue to build a good relationship with Ji Yunqing, and it would be good if she could find out some things about the prince from Ji Yunqing.
Maybe it can be used.
As a result, when she arrived this time, she saw that someone had already taken her seat.
Concubine He swaggered and sat on the soft couch brought by the maid: "Concubine Ji, I don't know when you can come out?"
"Don't worry, Sister Ji. The prince has sisters to serve him. Although they are not as good as Sister Ji, the prince is still satisfied."
Concubine Cen was sitting on the other side, whispering and shouting at the top of her voice.
She seemed to be whispering, but her voice was too soft for Ji Yunqing to hear, so she could only speak in such a fragmented manner.
In fact, King Zhao was probably very busy during this period and almost never set foot in the backyard, so how could he be served?
It must be the prince serving him on official business!
Ji Yunqing sat in his old seat, eating fried chicken, fried skewers and other fried things calmly.
There was also a hot pot and a lot of vegetables and meat on the table next to it.
When the weather gets cold, it's time to eat something hot.
The difference between this time of house arrest and the last time of treatment is like heaven and earth.
Not only was food never skimped upon, but she could even get whatever she wanted from the kitchen.
Ji Yunqing ate the crispy and tender fried chicken wings with a "crunch crunch" sound and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
“It’s actually fine whether I go out or not.”
Ji Yunqing took another bite of meat and continued, "I feel relieved to have the sisters taking care of the prince. It's just that my sisters have to work hard."
Ever since Ji Yunqing knew that everything she said would be written down and then passed on to King Zhao, Ji Yunqing became very cautious.
But don't find fault with what she says.
When Concubine He heard these words, she felt proud in her heart: "Actually, Sister Ji, there is no need to worry too much. If there is a chance, I will definitely help you ask the prince to let you out. Don't be too sad."
Ji Yunqing was not sad, she was eating very comfortably these days.
Ji Yunqing took another piece of delicious chicken leg and enjoyed it more and more.
"Thank you very much, Concubine He."
Hearing this answer, Concubine He felt proud inside. In fact, Ji Yunqing still wanted to go out very much!
She enjoyed the feeling of being begged for mercy by the person she once regarded as her rival, and said mercifully: "Don't worry, you must know that you have angered the prince.
This matter cannot be resolved in a day or two. I don’t know how long you will have to stay, Sister Ji.”
"Actually, I'm not in a hurry. Asking you to beg for mercy is embarrassing you. You don't have the nerve to do that in front of the prince, do you?"
Ji Yunqing's words were heartbreaking.
Concubine He's face turned red instantly.
But she couldn't admit this fact: "Concubine Ji, what nonsense are you talking about? The prince has always been very concerned about me. If you have the guts, come out and speak!"
As she said this, she couldn't help but punch the wall in front of her.
The wall shook suspiciously.
Ji Yunqing immediately moved inside.
Oh my god, this guy is really angry!
The key is that people are still so energetic.
Ji Yunqing...it was rare for her to swallow her anger.
"Concubine He, I admit that the prince cares about you the most. You win."
When Concubine He heard Ji Yunqing's words of submission, she raised her chin slightly and a rare ostentatious smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
“It’s good to know”
Concubine Cen also looked at Concubine He with lingering fear, and began to doubt in her heart.
Now the confinement of Concubine Ji is no longer a big deal.
Concubine He is about to become someone who is equally powerful as her. Is her plan to frame Concubine He really feasible?
What if she makes a mistake and Concubine He really gives away the baby in her belly...
No, no, she needs to think long and hard.
Concubine He had no idea of Concubine Cen’s inner thoughts. She was still listening to Ji Yunqing’s rare submission.
"In fact, when you first appeared, Concubine He, I knew you were a man of great potential. I was very nervous at the time, but I didn't dare to say it out loud.
Everyone also said that if I hadn’t become a concubine, this position would actually have been given to you.”
Hearing this heartbreaking thing, Concubine He put away her smile.
Indeed, she had thought more than once that if it had been earlier, the position of concubine might have belonged to her.
She would not regard Ji Yunqing as a thorn in her side.
But there are no ifs!
Ji Yunqing continued, "In fact, this is nonsense. I know what you are thinking, Concubine He. You are deeply in love with the prince. How could you use vulgar status to taint pure love?"
There is nothing wrong with that.
Concubine He couldn't help but nodded.
A blush appeared on her cheeks. It was rare that Ji Yunqing could see this.
Ji Yunqing changed the subject: "That's what I said, you actually don't care about these external things at all! If you wanted, you could directly enter the mansion as a concubine, but you didn't..."
This is a bit exaggerated.
Concubine He nodded in agreement reluctantly.
"Yes, I just thought that as long as I could be with the prince, I didn't care about anything else."
In fact, why didn't she want to enter the palace as a concubine?
She wanted it very much, but King Zhao refused.
