Chapter 351
"But Sister Ji..."
Ji Yunqing took a step forward and gently placed the tip of his index finger on the other's soft lips.
Her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, and she looked at the woman in front of her sincerely. Her tone was gentle but filled with some helpless melancholy.
"Ninglan, I know what you want to say, but there are some things that even I..."
Ninglan was startled by her sudden action and her heart skipped a beat.
too close!
I've only seen her get so close to others before, but this is the first time she's done this to me.
Her cheeks felt slightly hot, and her gaze gradually became focused on the person opposite her.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, the women in the mansion have long since changed out of their heavy winter clothes. In order to look good, some even ignore the cold and start wearing light summer clothes.
Ji Yunqing certainly wouldn't do that. She wore a thicker jacket, but even so, it couldn't cover half of her snow-white neck...
"Ninglan? Ninglan?"
Ji Yunqing called her several times before she suddenly reacted.
"Ah! Sister Ji, I was just thinking about something."
Ninglan lowered her head suddenly, not daring to look again.
Inevitably, she had delusions in her mind: if only the prince disliked Concubine Ji, then everyone would ignore her, forget her, and no one would remember her except herself.
Ji Yunqing thought that this trick of diverting attention was really effective.
Look, he is much better behaved now than before.
Ji Yunqing showed a concerned look: "If you are not feeling well, go back and rest quickly, don't be too tired"
"Yes, I will go right away."
Having said that, Ninglan left in a hurry.
In the blink of an eye, only Ji Yunqing and his servant were left there.
Looking deeply in the direction where Ninglan left, Ji Yunqing frowned unconsciously.
"master?"
Hemerocallis called out in confusion, "Master, why are you standing here motionless?"
Ji Yunqing came back to his senses and retracted his gaze: "Let's go, let's go back"
After a tiring day today, Ji Yunqing took a comfortable hot bath. She casually stirred the steaming bath water.
To take a hot bath like this, she either had to pay or have someone with her. She didn't have any family members who could give her money, so she could only choose someone with her family.
My whole body felt more and more relaxed as I soaked in the bath and I leaned lazily in the bathtub.
King Zhao's favor was too fickle and easily transferred, so she had to get closer to the princess.
It would be best if it wasn't like the way King Zhao doted on women, but something like family and friendship, which would make her feel more at ease.
next day
King Zhao was half lying on the bed, looking at the elegant woman in front of him who was holding a book.
Now, after a few days of rest and the hard work of the imperial doctors, the man's injuries have healed a lot.
The lip color is no longer as dull as when it was just injured.
At this moment, he looked at the woman who was saluting, but did not say anything directly. His eyes were quietly sizing her up.
The silent pressure gradually increased, making people feel terrified involuntarily.
Eunuch Shi stood aside respectfully with his head lowered, secretly groaning in his heart.
If he had known earlier, he would have taken the opportunity to leave.
The center of the whole crowd's stress - Ji Yunqing waited for a while, and finished the latest standard version of the salute, but before he could hear the "no need to salute"
Not shouting? If she didn’t want to shout, she would just stand up by herself.
Before the sullen King Zhao could open his mouth to question her, she looked at him with aggrieved eyes and spoke first.
"Your Majesty, please tell me what I did wrong. How can you be so good as to scare people right away?"
Hearing this, Eunuch Shi was so frightened that his breathing became much lighter, and he exclaimed in his heart, "Wow!"
Only Concubine Ji had the courage to question the prince.
King Zhao continued to release the pressure without asking for money: "Have you learned all the rules?"
Yes, yes, yes, I have learned it all.
Looking at the dog man in front of him, Ji Yunqing blinked and slowed down his tone: "You only know how to blame me? You don't care about anything else, and you scare me when I come, Your Majesty"
King Zhao looked indifferent, half leaning on the pillow, unmoved: "I don't need to tell you what you did, you know it in your heart."
What does she know?
Everyone knows that this kind of "you know it in your heart" is the most difficult to deal with. If you confess too much, things will get out of hand; if you confess too little, you will have to continue confessing.
What if the confession was wrong - Ji Yunqing suddenly shrank his neck.
Her eyes wandered.
Ah!
Which aspect should I confess? Does anyone have any hint?
Did King Zhao know that she had hooked up with the princess? Or did she flirt with his woman? Or did she "accidentally" press on his wound the afternoon before yesterday?
She didn't mean it. It's just that the man started to have evil thoughts as soon as his injuries got a little better!
There were many other small things, and Ji Yunqing didn't know which one he was talking about.
I really hope someone can help her!
But no one came.
Ji Yunqing had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and try to save himself.
Her eyes gradually turned red: "Prince, you have been teaching me the rules these days, and I have studied them seriously. Fortunately, your efforts have not been in vain, and I have learned them well."
King Zhao pointed out the facts: "From what we have just seen, it is not too good."
Ji Yunqing: “…”
Thanks to King Zhao, the sentimental atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
She took a step forward, knelt on one knee beside the bed, and held King Zhao's hands with both hands.
She raised her face and looked devoutly at the man in front of her, her eyes sincere and affectionate.
This angle is particularly great. You can tell by the way everyone likes to propose like this. It’s a perspective that is irresistible.
"Prince"
King Zhao had indeed never seen this trick before and was immediately attracted to it.
Ji Yunqing was only happy for a moment and then continued to work hard.
"Your Highness, as you know, I lost my mother when I was young, and my father also married a stepmother and had a new child, so it's better not to mention it."
King Zhao knew all this a long time ago. After he woke up from his injury, he discovered that he had only lost the memory of this one woman and everything related to her.
He quietly sent people to search for all the information about this woman.
However, through these days of getting close to her and observing her closely, he found that she was just an ordinary, disgusting and stupid woman.
Thinking about what happened just now, he came to the conclusion without hesitation that the rules were so bad that it was outrageous!
No wonder he hates the other party so much.
King Zhao lowered his eyes. She couldn't even hold her hand tightly and it would slip out in the next moment. She didn't know what was going on in her mind all day long!
Clumsy.
While thinking about it, he put his palm back in.
Ji Yunqing had no idea that he was already being disliked by others.
She took a deep breath and felt that what she was going to say next was too shameless and she couldn't say it anymore.
"…So, I grew up alone until I met you, Your Majesty."
The next step is to confess that I am her salvation and that she cannot do without me. King Zhao can guess all this without even thinking about it.
But he didn't intend to stop it.
Just listen to it.
Eunuch Shi standing by had a similar idea in his mind. Concubine Ji's performance was not up to par!
