Chapter 298
Front yard study
After listening to the report from his subordinates, Eunuch Shi nodded and asked them to leave.
He approached the study door and shouted tentatively.
"Your Majesty?"
Waited, waited, no one answered him.
Eunuch Shi summoned up his courage and whispered again, "Prince?"
No one cares about him
This happened twice in a row, and Eunuch Shi didn't dare to continue.
After all, I still remember that the prince said he was noisy not long ago.
Seeing that the prince had no response, Eunuch Shi was disappointed.
If he had known this would happen, he should not have asked someone to find out why the prince suddenly paid attention to Concubine Ji and went to the princess' main courtyard.
He couldn't help but whispered: "Concubine Ji and the princess are watching the scenery on the lotus flower pavilion in the Lotus Picking Courtyard, reciting poems, painting, boiling snow and making tea.
Never mind, these are just women's trivia, why should I bother His Majesty with this?"
Eunuch Shi shook his head and muttered a few more words in a low voice, "The princess and concubine really have good taste."
Even in private, he didn't dare to speak ill of the masters in the backyard.
Eunuch Shi shrank his neck and leaned against the vermilion pillar, intending to rest here for a while.
In fact, there was a tea room nearby, and the servants asked him to go over there to warm up, but Eunuch Shi refused to go.
Humph, those people just wanted to get him away on purpose so that they could show their courtesy to the prince.
As a result, just as Eunuch Shi stood still, King Zhao's voice came from the study: "Come in!"
Eunuch Shi was shocked and trotted in: "My Lord, what do you want?"
King Zhao put down the brush in his hand and stood up leisurely: "I am a little tired, come with me for a walk"
Leave again?
Eunuch Shi muttered to himself that the prince seemed to be easily tired these days!
I also often go for a walk in the backyard.
Could it be that... we should ask the court doctor to come and take a look? Could it be that something has happened to the prince's priceless body?
This is my second trip today, and I dare not delay any longer!
King Zhao seemed to have no idea what Eunuch Shi was thinking, and he had no intention of guessing a man's thoughts.
He had broad shoulders and long legs, and he walked out easily in two steps.
Eunuch Shi chased after him and asked: "My Lord, are we going in the wrong direction?"
This is not the same path as the previous times!
King Zhao looked straight ahead, showing no intention of changing his path: "Since it's wrong, let's stick to it!"
OK.
Whatever the master said was the truth, and Eunuch Shi could only follow him with his head down.
His legs were not as long as the prince's, so he could only jog along by wiggling his legs.
We go wherever the prince says.
The group arrived at their destination, Cai Lian Yuan.
Cai Lian Courtyard is very close to the princess' main courtyard and has beautiful scenery, but it is not used as a normal courtyard. The princess occasionally comes here to enjoy the scenery.
Adjacent to Cailianyuan is Xiyuan, the largest garden to the west of Prince Zhao's Palace.
It has to be said that this simple name is unique among the many flower names in the mansion.
I don't know which genius came up with this name?
Ji Yunqing stood on the lotus flower pavilion, admiring the beautiful scenery of Cailian Courtyard.
This yard is very humid and has many mosquitoes in the summer and it is easy to get cold legs in the winter. It's okay if you don't live there and just enjoy the beautiful scenery.
"Princess, this place is so beautiful. I never knew there was such a paradise on earth before!"
Seeing that the water below was frozen, Ji Yunqing felt a little relieved. Normally, she didn't dare to bring her children to the water.
I just don't know if the ice is thick enough?
Thinking of this, Ji Yunqing suggested excitedly: "Princess, are there any fish here? Can we go ice fishing here?"
The princess said with a smile: "Why are you so greedy? If you want to eat fish, just ask the kitchen to make it. The fish in here cannot be eaten. They are all rare species of fish that the prince specially asked people to put in here."
"is it?"
Ji Yunqing lowered his eyes with regret: "I was thinking about catching a fish myself, not just to taste it, but I hope the princess..."
I just want to ask in a tactful way, is the ice thick?
She turned around suddenly and saw the princess standing behind her, looking at her with a smile. She was startled and could not help but stare at the princess blankly.
"What does Yunqing want from me?"
Ji Yunqing reluctantly finished the remaining half of the sentence: "I just hope that the princess can remember this day,
Remember we once fished together, chanted poetry together, painted together, and brewed tea together…it doesn’t matter whether we eat fish or not.”
"Hurrah!"
The princess did not hesitate at all: "Although I can't eat it, I can accompany Yun Qing to catch the fish and put it back.
Ask the kitchen to prepare the fish and send it over later, so we can both fish and eat fish!"
Fish at the bottom of the pond: “…”
Blow a bubble, are you the devil?
Seeing that the princess was about to call for people to prepare, Ji Yunqing hurriedly stopped her: "No, it's so cold, let's forget it.
When this cold wind blows on your face, it hurts a lot." Don't torture the fish to death.
Since ice fishing is possible, it proves that the ice is indeed not thin and can at least bear the weight of an adult, so there is no need to worry too much about the kid falling off.
Ji Yunqing thought about this in his mind and gently placed his hand on the princess' cheek. It was soft and smooth and felt great.
I just don’t know how the princess maintains her looks, Ji Yunqing thought, she must have used a lot of good things!
envy
She also wants to be a rich woman.
Ji Yunqing couldn't help but touched it twice more.
"Mother, what are you doing?"
Ruirui ran over curiously and asked the two of them with her little head tilted.
Ever since he came to the new place, he has been very excited and has been running around playing.
Ji Yunqing froze and put his hand down as if nothing had happened: "Rui Rui, we were just talking. We said we wanted to eat fish later."
"Eat fish? Ruirui wants to eat too!"
The little guy said excitedly, then saw the princess and asked nervously, "Can Ruirui eat it?"
The princess nodded: "Of course!"
"Then can I eat it?"
A man's voice sounded, and everyone present was stunned.
This familiar voice...
Ji Yunqing and the princess looked over together and saw King Zhao, whom they had not seen for a long time. He was wearing an elegant black-blue brocade robe with dark patterns. He had a slender waist and was extremely handsome.
The princess was surprised and delighted: "My Lord? Why are you here?"
She took a few steps forward, walked to King Zhao's side, and looked at the man in front of her.
Prince Zhao nodded to the princess and said, "I have nothing to do today, so I walked around and saw someone here, so I came to take a look."
"Why is the princess here?"
The princess smiled and explained softly: "Your Highness, I owe Concubine Ji a painting. Today, Concubine Ji brought her children to ask for it. I have to paint it."
How can I let the princess paint?
Has Ji ever seen the princess paint?
Do you know how good she is at drawing? Just let her draw?
How could she let the princess draw for her when she knew nothing?
Can't find anyone else in this house to paint for her?
King Zhao looked at Ji Yunqing deeply and felt that she was even thinner than she was half a day ago.
Originally, Ji Yunqing wanted to shrink back, hoping not to be seen by King Zhao.
However, feeling the real gaze of King Zhao, Ji Yunqing's heart tightened and he quickly stepped forward to protect Ruirui by his side.
She said calmly: "My Lord, Princess, I will go back first."
"and many more!"
