Chapter 248
Although the relationship between the princess and the prince cannot be described as affectionate, the princess does have deep feelings for the prince.
Therefore, there is no way the princess would fall in love with that little slut in Guihuayuan.
However, as Nanny Lou was talking, she came up with another idea.
The princess was hesitant to decide which prince to raise, which must be because they had never gotten along with each other.
If they spend more time in contact, the princess might change her mind.
Thinking of this, Madam Lou had eighteen hundred ideas churning in her head, but...
She looked at the seated princess and asked tentatively, "Princess, I didn't expect Concubine Cen also has a child. I just don't know how old the child is now?"
Speaking of Concubine Cen, the princess frowned slightly.
Originally, I invited this cousin over to have a baby for myself, but I didn't expect that she would have so many little thoughts.
You have to know that this Taoist was strongly recommended to her by Concubine Cen. The princess would not believe that there was no trick in it.
In this case, the princess's original thoughts dissipated a lot: "Forget it, since she doesn't want to, let's just forget about it. I don't have to have her child."
She often sighed and said in a low voice: "Mammy, what do you think... is it God's will? I can only have Zhiyao as a child in this life?"
Hearing the words of the child she had watched grow up, Nanny Lou's heart ached more than if it had been dug out: "Princess, don't worry, maybe fate is still to come, the prince can still have children, there is still a long way to go!
Why not pick two new people for the prince this year? Who knows, good news might come during the Chinese New Year, making it a double happiness."
Speaking of choosing new people, the princess felt upset.
"There are new people entering the mansion almost every year. Am I not selecting enough? Please select those based on their birth dates and horoscopes. There are also those with beautiful looks and outstanding talents.
The prince has..." What has the prince given birth to for her?
Aunt Lou was terrified when she heard this. She tried to dissuade him again and again, and said anxiously, "Oh my, oh my! Miss, please keep your voice down and don't say anything more."
Who in this mansion dares to blame the prince?
The previous thoughts started to stir in Madam Lou's mind again, and they became more and more intense: "How about... you ask a few children in the mansion to come and pay their respects every day, and if there is one that you like, you can let him stay and try it out?"
"inappropriate"
The princess frowned without thinking: "I can't bear to listen to children's noise, it's a headache."
"Then how about asking Madam to find a suitable girl?"
"Not yet. Like you said, the prince is still young and he can have children."

That night
Ji Yunqing was sleeping soundly, and suddenly she felt a strong gaze staring at her. When she realized this, Ji Yunqing was startled and opened her eyes suddenly.
It was difficult to see anything clearly in the dark night. With the dim moonlight, Ji Yunqing could barely make out the approximate height and build of the person coming.
"...Prince?"
"Why are you here so late?"
Ji Yunqing rubbed her eyes and sat up. Her sleepiness was gone when she woke up and found someone standing next to her. She was now very awake.
Yawning, Ji Yunqing waved to Prince Zhao: "Why don't you speak, Your Majesty?"
The man took a few steps forward, revealing his familiar handsome face: "Ji, you slept soundly!"
"It's okay. I couldn't wait for you, Your Majesty, so I thought you couldn't come today, so I went to bed."
As she spoke, she moved in naturally to make room for King Zhao.
"Your Majesty, please sleep on the outside tonight. I've warmed this side."
King Zhao: "..." It seems like he really wasn't scared.
He was still rushing to finish his work, thinking that this heartless guy might not be able to sleep without him, but who knew that he slept so soundly.
King Zhao keenly heard that Ji Yunqing was not asleep, so he explained: "I said that today just to confuse the thief. Otherwise, if he realizes that you are very important to me, he will be more cautious, which will not be good for you."
"I know it all"
Ji Yunqing felt much better after hearing King Zhao's explanation.
"I didn't blame the prince, because I knew he would save me, but I was really scared today."
Hearing Ji Yunqing say this, King Zhao felt distressed for a moment. She was usually energetic and it was rare to see her looking so listless.
"It's winter now, and it's cold and bleak outside. I'll take you out to see the lanterns during the Lantern Festival next year."
"no need"
Ji Yunqing's voice was soft and even more pitiful now: "Your Highness, I encountered this today because I like to watch the fun. I will never like to watch the fun again in the future..."
It’s so dangerous in the mansion, what will happen if we get out?
So many lanterns, so many people
Fires, kidnappings, stampedes...
No matter which one she meets, it will be a sure kill for her.
Ji Yunqing thought more and more: "My Lord, you can go by yourself when the time comes."
King Zhao had long legs, so he could run fast even when in danger.
"that line"
Prince Zhao didn't know that Ji Yunqing had thought so much, so he quickly said, "Then let's arrange some lanterns in the mansion, and then you and..."
He suddenly stopped talking, thinking about how the Princess and Concubine Wen had competed to accompany Ji today.
But no matter how much they fight, isn't Ji still lying next to him?
After understanding all this, King Zhao actually felt somewhat proud for a moment, and even his voice became much more cheerful.
"You can watch it yourself when the time comes. I will go over to accompany you when I have time."
"it is good"
"In the future, don't get too close to those who suddenly get close to you without knowing their purpose. You should always be on guard against them."
Ji Yunqing nodded, and realized that it was night time and King Zhao couldn't see him: "Your Highness, don't worry, I don't leave the house on weekdays, so I won't meet anyone with unknown purpose!"
King Zhao was very worried.
He is on guard against the people in the mansion.
"You also need to always remember the rules of the mansion. If you do something wrong one day, I will not show mercy." For example, it is very important that you are not allowed to let others stay overnight.
"Don't worry, my lord. I know what I am doing."
Ji Yunqing promised readily.
"By the way, Your Majesty, although the Taoist priest was invited by the princess today, she is in the mansion and probably does not know the identity of that person. Please do not blame the princess."
Although King Zhao also meant this, it didn't feel right when Ji Yunqing used this to persuade him.
Just as King Zhao was about to say something, he heard footsteps outside: "Your Majesty, Concubine Qian has a stomachache."
Concubine Qian was already very pregnant. Ji Yunqing did a quick calculation and urged, "It's already seven months. Your Majesty, please go and check it out."
It's hard to say about this kind of thing, especially since it is said that Concubine Qian is pregnant. If Prince Zhao arrives a little late and things go wrong, Ji Yunqing won't be able to take the responsibility.
Just as King Zhao reached the door, another hurried voice came: "Your Majesty, Concubine Cen said she was frightened and feels unwell. I would like you to come over and take a look."
Both the front and back were feeling unwell and wanted to see the prince. Ji Yunqing shook his head and simply split the gift into two halves for King Zhao.
