Chapter 276 King Zhao Arrives
Ji Yunqing suddenly came closer, leaned over and grabbed his hand, and approached him like a boss. His usually round eyes were sharp, and his voice was low and hoarse:
"Sister, don't you really want to stay and try?"
There seemed to be a vague hook in the sentence, which made Concubine Wen feel dizzy and wonder, does she really not want to stay?
"I……"
"Shh!"
Ji Yunqing pressed his index finger against Concubine Wen's soft lips: "Sister, you can't say you don't want to."
If you can't say you don't want to, then you can only say you do want to.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Wen pursed her lips slightly, looking a little at a loss.
Neither her cousin nor her cousin had ever treated her like this.
Ji Yunqing was just about to make another effort and reach out his dirty hands to pinch the girl's little face when he suddenly heard a voice that scared both of them to death.
"What are you doing?"
Ji Yunqing shuddered and her eyes widened instantly. She felt that she was indeed a little unfortunate.
He turned his head stiffly and saw King Zhao's dark face.
"Your Highness, why are you here? I was just joking with Sister Wen."
"By the way, Your Majesty, do you know that Sister Wen said she wanted to buy some new decorations for my yard? Sister Wen is such a generous person.
I just want to repay her, but I don’t have any other skills, so I can only try my best to play games with her, chat with her, etc., to make her happy. "
King Zhao smiled coldly, and the air pressure around him was even lower than the temperature of the ice and snow outside.
"Repay? You mean repaying with your body?"
It's an exaggeration to say that. Ji Yunqing has always felt that his sexual orientation is normal. He was just flirting with the beautiful girl, and she didn't take the opportunity to do anything.
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? Even if you pledge your love to me, it is still... Sister Wen's love for you! Right?"
At this time, Concubine Wen also spoke up: "Cousin, you really misunderstood. Would I like her? Humph." Fortunately, Ji Yunqing had some tact and did not flirt with his cousin in front of her.
King Zhao still didn't believe it: "Then what were you doing just now? She even called you sister? If I hadn't come, wouldn't you have been..."
Concubine Wen's mind started working quickly, but before she could think of the right words, she was suddenly startled by Ji Yunqing's words.
Ji Yunqing frowned and started to accuse:
"It's not your fault, Your Majesty!"
Concubine Wen: "..."
King Zhao: “…”
Everyone: "..."
How did it become King Zhao's fault?
"Prince"
Ji Yunqing was possessed by the little green tea spirit, and tears began to well up in her eyes, with the tears hanging on the edge of her eye sockets as if they were about to fall.
Her tone was full of resentment:
"My Lord, if it weren't for the rumors in the palace that I had fallen out of favor, would Concubine Wen be so soft-hearted as to come and comfort me?
Did you find an excuse to change the decoration of my room, knock on the kitchen and send me fresh meals, and bring people to support me? "
"What is the purpose of all this, Concubine Wen?"
For what?
Everyone became curious at the same time.
Even Concubine Wen herself was curious.
Ji Yunqing sniffed, with a nasal tone in his voice:
"Concubine Wen is willing to do this, to take care of a burden like me, Your Majesty, who you don't want. Isn't it all because of her love for Your Majesty?"
She wiped her cheeks gently with a handkerchief, raised her eyes and quickly glanced at the two people present with different expressions, and continued mournfully:
"I am such a burden, poor me. The prince doesn't love me, and the princess doesn't love me!
Even Concubine Wen showed some concern for me - it was all because of you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, you came here in such a hurry and started to scold me. It's really chilling!"
King Zhao reflected on this rare occasion: ...Is this really my burden?
The more Concubine Wen listened, the more she felt it made sense.
Yes, that's what she thought!
Thinking of this, Concubine Wen said, "Cousin, you really misunderstood. I came to this place because I thought you were busy with work recently and had no time to go to the backyard.
It just so happens that Ji Shi is also pitiful, living alone in such a shabby yard. I'm afraid it's like a haunted house at night. How can I not come to take a look?"
Ji Yunqing: “…”
Let's be honest, why am I the only one in this yard?
Aren’t all those maids considered human beings?
Concubine Wen continued: "Cousin, you let me take care of the whole mansion temporarily. If I don't care about it, who else will care about it?"
Ever since the princess fell ill, the housekeeping power has been temporarily handed over to Concubine Wen.
It has not been changed back yet.
The princess was worried at first, but then she thought, Concubine Wen didn't even have a child, so why should she be worried?
When hearing Concubine Wen's words, Ji Yunqing stood aside with his big wet eyes open, pretending to be pitiful and weak.
When she said to Concubine Wen, her face was full of gratitude: "Concubine Wen is the best. I didn't expect that Concubine Wen would be so nice to me."
"Cousin, if you don't want me to take care of it, then let the princess take care of it. It's just that my aunt always loves her daughter-in-law, and I'm also worried that she will nag at you."
The aunt mentioned by Concubine Wen is the mother of Prince Zhao.
King Zhao was annoyed by their nagging, and when he heard this, he said impatiently: "Alright, alright, I didn't say anything, I just heard what you two said."
"Cousin, please go back first. I will come to find you when I have time."
Concubine Wen's reflex was: "Cousin, can't I go now?"
Although she has a good relationship with Ji Yunqing and is willing to come here, she is just here for fun. In Concubine Wen's heart, her cousin is the most important person.
Ji Yunqing didn't say anything, but quietly looked at King Zhao with clear and reluctant eyes.
It seems to be saying, please stay and keep me company!
Only then did King Zhao let go of his last bit of doubt.
He waved his hand and said, "I have something important to discuss with Ji Shi now. I will go find my cousin later."
Concubine Wen suddenly grabbed Prince Zhao's sleeve and said, "What could possibly happen to her? Cousin, why don't you tell me..."
Only after the two of them left did Ji Yunqing sit down.
tired!
It's so tiring.
But fortunately, we finally got them gone.
Nanny An stepped forward and asked with concern, "Master, are you okay?"
Ji Yunqing was weak, as if she had lost her soul, and replied reluctantly: "Mammy, I'm fine."
Looking at the master in front of her, even though Nanny An couldn't bear it, she had to say, "Master, given the prince's temper, I'm afraid he won't allow that kind of thing to happen in the backyard."
She said it cryptically, but not in a subtle way.
Ji Yunqing glanced at her and said, "I know! I just heard that Concubine Consort wanted to see Ruirui all the time, and I was worried—"
She didn't say it, but everyone understood.
Nanny An's heart instantly fell back into her stomach. She didn't have to worry about it anymore.
Ji Yunqing sighed deeply, staring blankly ahead: "I dare not compete with Concubine Wen, she is a concubine with a background and support, Mammy, you know..."
Nanny An also sighed silently.
In that situation, it was already very good that the master could react quickly and respond.
However, once word got out that Concubine Wen had managed to kidnap the prince in Guihua Courtyard, her master would be greatly disgraced.
