Chapter 282
Nanny Lou was busy running around, and finally went back to report with a depressed look on her face.
"Princess, it's all because of my incompetence that I failed to find out the specific reason."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and slapped herself hard.
"It's all because of my uselessness and my inability to live up to expectations!"
The princess was not surprised by this.
"In that case, call Ji over and ask him."
"Yes, yes, the princess is right."
Lou Ma nodded repeatedly, and she changed the subject: "But Princess, I was thinking in my heart that since the prince is already disgusted with Concubine Ji,
What if he has a problem with the Fourth Young Master? Then we bring the child over and the Prince gets angry. "
The princess raised her eyes to look at Madam Lou and asked curiously, "Madam, you didn't say that before? Could it be that you think that the unborn child of Concubine Cen is more suitable?"
Madam Lou was speechless, her smile was a little stiff: "I am just worried..."
The princess waved her hand and said, "There's nothing to worry about. Go call Concubine Ji over."
After all the trouble Nanny Lou made, she did become interested in the reasons why Concubine Ji fell out of favor.
"Yes, I will go right away."
Osmanthus Courtyard
Ji Yunqing was a little surprised to hear that the princess wanted to see her.
She put down the paintbrush, looked at the painting she had not finished, and nodded: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes."
The maid who came to invite people saw that Ji Yunqing was wearing a washed-out white dress stained with colorful paints.
Nodding: "Concubine, please hurry up."
There was sympathy in her eyes. Now everyone in the mansion knew that Concubine Ji had fallen out of favor, but no one expected the situation to be so serious!
It's only been a few days and the concubine has started wearing such old clothes.
Ji Yunqing didn't know the way the little maid was looking at her, so she went into the room and changed into clean clothes.
She was painting in the yard just now. Firstly, she was painting the scenery in the yard, and secondly, although it was cold outside, the light was bright.
After changing clothes, Ji Yunqing didn't hesitate: "Let's go!"
She didn't know why the princess suddenly called her, but it was probably related to the rumors in the mansion.
It takes about quarter of an hour to walk from Osmanthus Courtyard to the main courtyard, and Ji Yunqing arrived there in a short while.
When he saw the princess, Ji Yunqing greeted her as usual.
After that, he took the initiative to praise: "I haven't seen you for a long time. The princess is getting more and more beautiful. She looks much more energetic."
The princess looked at her and said, "Please sit down, Concubine Ji. I came here today because I have something to ask you."
"Uh-huh"
Ji Yunqing nodded and found a chair to sit down: "What's the problem, Princess, please ask!"
"Is Concubine Ji aware of the rumors in the palace?"
Ji Yunqing shook his head, looking very honest: "I'm not sure, I've been under house arrest for a while, I can't leave the yard at all, even if there are rumors, I can't hear them."
Princess: “…” This rumor has spread so widely, I don’t believe she doesn’t know about it.
"I heard that the prince was very angry at midnight last night? Do you know what happened?"
"I've heard of this. I had a big fight with the prince last night, but it's not my fault.
I know the princess is a reasonable person, she won't punish me without knowing the truth, right?"
Ji Yunqing looked at the princess in front of him, his eyes full of clarity and trust.
Seeing that she trusted her so much, the princess felt a little soft in her heart and her voice softened: "Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you about the specific situation.
As long as what you say makes sense, I won’t punish you.”
What's more, she saw that even though the prince was angry, he did not ask for punishment of Concubine Ji. If she punished Ji Yunqing for this, it would be a thankless task.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, the princess saw the woman in front of her burst into tears.
"Princess, you don't know that I am also innocent in this matter!"
After saying this, the little beauty in front of him looked pitiful, with tears welling up in her eyes, about to fall. She looked at this little white flower, which seemed particularly strong and fragile.
In fact, before Ji Yunqing came, the princess had made sufficient preparations.
She had already thought it through. If the other party played dumb and evaded the question when she asked about the reason, or refused to tell the truth no matter how hard she asked, or even deliberately made up a lie, she would have ways to deal with them one by one.
But the other party looked so pitiful and about to cry...
The princess has never encountered this before!
Fortunately, she had seen it before, so it was not like she had no template to copy.
then--
The princess stood up as if possessed by a ghost, stretched out her hand and put her arm around the little beauty's delicate shoulders, and spoke softly, "Don't be anxious, tell me what's going on slowly, did the prince bully you?"
Ji Yunqing leaned on the other person's shoulder, crying humbly and weakly, gasping for breath: "Wuwuwu~~
Princess, please don’t blame the prince. I don’t want to… I don’t want to create a rift between you and let everyone think that I did something wrong!”
princess:"……"
Shouldn't she be like this?
Too impulsive?
This simply gives the other party more room to perform!
At this time, the little beauty in the princess's arms suddenly hugged her tightly, and kept murmuring absentmindedly: "Princess, Princess, I didn't do anything wrong!"
never mind!
The princess's regret only lasted for a moment. Anyway, the prince had enjoyed many beautiful women throwing themselves at him, so what was wrong with her trying it out as well?
Anyway, the prince no longer wants this little beauty!
The two of them hugged each other tightly. Aunt Lou, who was watching the whole process from behind, had her old face trembling slightly, which was caused by her gritting her teeth and getting angry.
Concubine Ji, this little vixen and slut, seduced the prince and now seduces the princess. Can't you be away from him for even a moment?
"Princess, have you forgotten to ask Concubine Ji how she angered the prince?" Have you forgotten that this little goblin angered the prince?
The prince won’t like it if you get close to her!
After being reminded by Nanny Lou, the princess suddenly remembered her purpose.
Not right.
Why are they hugging each other for no apparent reason?
Isn't that appropriate?
At this time, Ji Yunqing opened her mouth slightly and let out a soft cry, then quickly let go as if she was holding a red-hot iron, and then quickly stepped back several steps.
It wasn't until his heels touched the table and chair behind him that he finally stopped.
The little beauty has rosy cheeks and tears in her eyes. The red corners of her eyes are adorable. Her long eyelashes are like butterflies fluttering up and down, and her pink lips are lightly pursed.
She spoke in a panicked tone, "Princess, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have done this... It's all my fault for overstepping my bounds.
It’s really because the princess is too gentle and beautiful, I was impulsive and couldn’t hold back…”
After finishing speaking, Ji Yunqing looked at the princess shyly with clear eyes like a deer, and then lowered his head submissively.
She was calm and waited for the princess to let her go back.
She can successfully get away with it today!
