Chapter 272: Mammy, I have my own principles and bottom line
Mother Cen tried to persuade her daughter in every possible way, but her daughter was just a stubborn ass!
She had a terrible headache. Finally, she looked around and found that there was no one else in the room. She opened the door and saw that no one was eavesdropping. Then she reached out to hug her daughter and patiently comforted her.
"Silly daughter, let's give the child to her. This is only temporary."
"Ok?"
Temporary?
Concubine Cen raised her eyes in confusion.
Mother Cen continued to teach her daughter: "Didn't we give her last time... Since she can get sick once, there will be a second time. In a few years, when she dies, won't the child need someone to take care of him? At that time, you can..."
After her mother's analysis, Concubine Cen was finally happy.
But she was still a little hesitant: "What if the prince marries a new princess?"
If the new princess gives birth to another child, who is both the princess's legitimate son and the youngest, wouldn't her child become a thorn in her side?
Seeing that her daughter finally understood, Mother Cen reached out and touched her forehead: "How about what I said? When the child grows up in a few years, it would be best if he is recorded as the legitimate son of the princess. If he is the legitimate son of the original wife, wouldn't he have this status?"
Concubine Cen frowned and showed some resistance when asked to register her child under the princess' name.
"Don't be silly. This child has become a legitimate son and is favored by the prince. When his mother dies, you, his biological mother, will definitely be the most important.
You should pay more attention to the child. This child is closest to you. Besides, now that the princess is gone, you are the only girl left in the Cen family. Maybe with this help, you can become the next princess."
The next princess!
She likes this!
Concubine Cen agreed immediately.
After the princess consort, she becomes the queen, and then naturally becomes the empress dowager.
Mother Cen continued to think: "Even if you can't become the next princess, you can at least be a concubine because you are the mother of the legitimate son. From now on, our family will have to count on you!"
"Mother, what are you talking about? My daughter will definitely become the next princess."
Concubine Cen's eyes were filled with impatience. What was the big deal about being temporarily confined? Once she gave birth to the child, she would have a good life in the future!
"So, kid, don't mess around anymore and just give birth to the baby, okay?"
"Yeah, don't worry, mother." Concubine Cen smiled happily and hugged her mother affectionately: "Fortunately, mother, you are here!"
"Just think it through, kid."
Mother Cen patted her daughter on the back and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Ever since the child sent back letters repeatedly some time ago, she was really afraid that the child would continue to act up.
In Qiu Shui Courtyard, mother and son gathered together happily, but in Gui Hua Courtyard, not far away, there was chaos.
Although it was not easy to go out, Ji Yunqing was not idle either. She was playing snowballs with Ruirui.
After the first few days, no one came to look for Ji Yunqing anymore.
Concubine Zhao was busy taking care of her new daughter, and Concubine Cen and Concubine He had no interest in coming either.
The place King Zhao often goes to now is Concubine He's place, and the palace seems to have gradually forgotten about Osmanthus Courtyard.
Even the things sent from the kitchen were not as exquisite as they were at the beginning.
Ji Yunqing didn't care about this. She deliberately didn't ask the maids to sweep the snow. While the snow in the yard hadn't melted yet, everyone in the yard had a great time playing for the whole day.
Ji Yunqing led a group including daylily, hydrangea, red bean, red maple, and Nanny An, while Ruirui led a group including Jixiang Ruyi, Jinbao, Juhong, and the wet nurse. The two sides threw snowballs and had a snowball fight.
Ruirui rolled a snowball with her little hands and threw it across with all her strength, but it fell in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, she was hit by a snowball. Ruirui was wearing thick clothes and didn't feel any pain at all. She giggled and started to stick out her butt to make snowballs.
"Mom, look at me!"
Ruirui threw another snowball, and this time it still landed on the ground, but it flew much farther than before.
His eyes were bright and he was obviously very happy.
Finally, the next time, the snowball almost touched the corner of Ji Yunqing's clothes.
“It hit the target, it hit the target!”
Ruirui was so happy that she jumped and clapped her hands.
Seeing the little guy so happy, Ji Yunqing rolled his eyes and pretended to say "Ouch, it hurts!"
Ruirui immediately became nervous: "Mom, what's wrong?"
He ran to his mother and circled around her.
Ji Yunqing didn't expect the child to be so filial. She comforted him, "It would be great if someone could blow it for me!"
"Mom, mom, let Ruirui blow for you." Ruirui puffed up his cheeks and blew twice on Ji Yunqing's body.
"Mother, are you okay?"
Ji Yunqing's face was full of exaggerated surprise: "Much better, it really doesn't hurt anymore, Ruirui is amazing"
After the mother and son finished their concern, they soon returned to the scene of confrontation and throwing snowballs at each other.
"Mom, look at me!"
Ji Yunqing was also very active, throwing a snowball from his hand: "Hey! Monster, watch out!"
As a result, I tried too hard and the snowball flew out of the wall.
Ji Yunqing didn't care. It was not someone else's yard outside the wall, so it wouldn't hit anyone.
result--
"Ouch!"
“It’s so cold”
A familiar voice, Ji Yunqing thought to himself, did she really hit someone?
It should be fine, right?
But who in normal circumstances would “happen” to pass by outside her courtyard wall?
Before Ji Yunqing could remember who this person was, that familiar voice was heard outside the door again.
This time it was at the gate of the courtyard.
It seemed to be a female voice.
"I am here to see Concubine Ji on Concubine Shu's orders."
The two maids outside were hesitant: "Miss, this is not convenient, right? The prince has ordered that no one is allowed to enter."
"I'm afraid the prince has long forgotten the people in this courtyard, two maids..."
Soon, the two gatekeepers were delighted: "Young lady, you are so polite to give so much."
"The girl is kind-hearted"
"Can I go in now?"
"Of course, please come in, please come in"
Soon, there was the sound of a door being pushed open.
Then... didn't push it away
Ji Yunqing raised his eyebrows and looked at the three thick bolts on the courtyard gate, thinking to himself, never mind who is outside or how much silver he gave to those two old guys.
Anyway, you can't get in without her permission.
Don't forget the big basket of thick door bolts she bought, three of which were scrapped when she was a concubine!
How could Ji Yunqing not use it?
The sound of the door being pushed open outside turned into knocking.
The old lady's rough voice came: "Ji Shufei? Ji Shufei? Someone is here to visit you!"
"Concubine Ji, did you hear that? Open the door."
At this time, the sound of snowball fights in the yard had long stopped, and everyone was looking at the gate.
Nanny An looked at her master and asked if she wanted her to help drive those people away.
Ji Yunqing cleared his throat and finally spoke.
But she said to Madam An righteously: "Madam, I have my own principles and bottom line.
Just tell them, since you gave them money, if they want to see me they have to pay me, otherwise they won’t see me!”
Everyone: "..."
Aunt An: “…”
She opened her mouth with difficulty, but found it difficult to say the words: "Master, are you sure you really want to shout this?" Is this the master's principle and bottom line?
To be honest, she has been very proud in her life and has never done such a thing.
Doesn't this sound too greedy?
Ji Yunqing doesn't care about these. Life is just about four words: greedy for money and lustful!
She is not capable of being lustful, but she can try harder to be greedy for money.
Since you want to see her, why should you give the money to others instead of her?
