Chapter 296
After Ji Yunqing left, Concubine Wang looked up at Ji Yunqing's neat and tidy back, her eyes full of confusion.
That's a miscarriage!
How is it possible that after just a few days of rest, you can go out and move freely?
Could it be that the information is wrong?
No, this can't be wrong.
Or...there wasn't actually a miscarriage that day?
No, no, no
Concubine Wang shook her head. The servants had found out clearly that the things that Guihuayuan needed recently were mainly warm and light.
What else could this be if not miscarriage?
"My dear concubine, what are you thinking about so intently? It's your turn."
Concubine Wang suddenly came back to her senses and smiled at the other party.
"Okay, here you go!"
She pinched a black spot and sighed, "I was just thinking, when can I have a child!"
Speaking of this topic, Concubine Gao couldn't help but feel a little discouraged: "It all depends on fate. I probably don't have that fate."
"How come there isn't?"
Wang's concubine made a move and said: "Is this possible? It depends on how you do it, right?"
"Look at Concubine Zhao, she has a child. Now there is laughter and joy in the yard all day long. It's so lively."
Concubine Wang's courtyard was not far from Concubine Zhao's Hundred Flowers Courtyard, so she was very clear about the situation there.
Speaking of Concubine Zhao, Concubine Gao felt envious and smiled bitterly: "Concubine Zhao is lucky, but I am not."
"Why not?" Concubine Wang said, "Don't we have another one in our house?"
There is another one, referring to the third young master in the mansion.
"Thank goodness you, Wang Shifei, are usually well-informed. But now you don't know this news as well as I do."
Concubine Gao whispered: "I heard that Concubine Xu wants this child, but she hasn't really decided on it yet."
"It's actually like this!"
Wang Shiqi was surprised, and then her face was full of regret: "This is a pity, I don't know if there will be suitable children in the future."
She was playing with the chess pieces in her hand in a casual manner: "I heard that women who are pregnant usually live longer than they should, but I don't know if it's true.
But I heard that Concubine Qian was not menstruating at that time, so..."
"Stop talking!" Concubine Gao looked around and whispered, "Aren't you afraid of being heard?"
It was unknown whether anyone heard the conversation here. Ji Yunqing and Ruirui walked most of the way and finally did not meet anyone else on the road.
She breathed a sigh of relief. It was really not easy.
You know what a shy little girl she is!
Thinking of this, Ji Yunqing quickened his pace for fear of meeting other people.
Until she walked away, a deep voice sounded: "She has lost a lot of weight"
This statement is incoherent.
Eunuch Shi looked at him with confused eyes.
Oh, the person the master is talking about is Concubine Ji!
He explained: "Your Highness, I heard that Concubine Ji knocked her teeth a few days ago. I'm afraid she has some difficulty eating. Maybe she will be fine once it heals."
After saying this, Eunuch Shi was still puzzled.
Doesn’t the prince already know about this?
However, the prince is very busy, so it is normal that he forgot.
But King Zhao seemed to turn a deaf ear to him: "Doesn't she always love to eat? How did she become so thin?"
Eunuch Shi thought that the prince didn't hear him, so he repeated, "Prince, it's because..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted: "Why do you talk so much today?"
King Zhao turned and left, and before leaving he coldly spat out two words: "Noisy!"
Eunuch Shi: “…”
What did he say that made you noisy?
"My Lord, where are you going?"
Zhao Wang walked a few steps towards the direction of Ji Er's courtyard, then stopped and said, "Let's go to the front yard!"
Ji Yunqing held Ruirui's hand and walked all the way to the main courtyard.
Soon a little maid came out to greet them.
"Concubine Ji, why are you here? The princess was very happy to hear that you were here!"
"I have nothing to do today, and I miss the princess very much, so I brought Ruirui to visit her. I hope I didn't disturb her?"
"how could be?"
Then Ai Cao looked at Rui Rui beside him, his face showing more surprise: "Is this the Fourth Young Master? He looks really smart and extraordinary."
"Girl, you're joking. He's just a little kid. I just hope he can be safe and sound."
As the two were talking, Ai Cao quickly welcomed the person in.
A man dressed as a steward walked by, passed by Ji Yunqing, and bowed to her respectfully.
"Ji Shufei!"
Ji Yunqing took a look and made way: "Manager, please go and do your work. Don't let this delay your work."
It seems that her guess was correct, the princess took back the housekeeper's power.
The warnings given by Concubine Wen when she was the housekeeper were no longer useful, so the head chef dared to be so perfunctory to her.
So the princess's purpose...
Ji Yunqing's eyes deepened, but his smile remained unchanged. He lowered his head and straightened the child's collar, patiently admonishing him:
"When you go in later, you must be good and don't make your mother angry, understand?"
Ruirui nodded obediently: "I understand."
"Don't worry, Concubine. The princess has always been kind and loving. Moreover, according to etiquette, the fourth young master is also the princess's child."
Ji Yunqing looked up and saw that the person who spoke was Nanny Lou, which was expected.
She gently touched Ruirui's little face: "Mammy is right, the fourth young master is not only my child, he is also the princess's child"
Nanny Lou immediately frowned and wanted to refute, but she couldn't find a reason.
She simply said: "Concubine, the princess invites you in, but the fourth young master is still young, so why not let him stay here? Don't worry, this old servant will take good care of him."
“That’s not necessary.”
Without waiting for the frowning Madam Lou to object, Ji Yunqing continued, "I came here this time specifically to show the princess the child.
Didn't Mammy say that Ruirui is also the princess's child? The princess has always been kind and loving, so what mother wouldn't want to see her child?"
The princess has only one daughter, so she is not worried that Nanny Lou will harm Ruirui, but Nanny Lou will not instill any good ideas in the child.
Nanny Lou originally thought that since it was a rare opportunity for her to meet the Fourth Young Master, she asked people to say bad things about Concubine Ji and loving words about the princess in his ear.
But now that Ji Yunqing was willing to bring his child to see the princess himself, it was difficult for her to stop him.
He could only report to the princess and let Ji Yunqing and his mother in with a cold face.
Ji Yunqing deliberately gave Madam Lou a smug smile, and only after making sure that Madam Lou was angry did he take Ruirui in.
After entering, the room was decorated very exquisitely, and the princess was sitting on a soft couch on one side.
Two maids were massaging the princess' shoulders, and another maid was holding a small hammer, half-kneeling and carefully massaging the princess' legs.
There was a small table on the couch, with a steaming teacup and an open book on it.
Seeing Ji Yunqing, the princess spoke in a very cordial tone: "What good day is today? Our concubine Ji is willing to come to my place?"
After saying this, she turned around and looked out the window in a pretentious manner: "Should the magpie be calling on the branches outside?"
