Chapter 365
Others present also spoke up:
"Your Majesty, actually think about it, Concubine Ji didn't do anything. She was just too impulsive. I will remind her more in the future."
"I will remind her from time to time."
"Your Majesty, please don't bother with me!"
King Zhao was puzzled when he heard these people pleading for Ji Yunqing.
It was obviously him who was beaten, right?
Seeing that King Zhao had a strange expression on his face, people gradually began to speak up for him.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Ji is so unruly. How could she hit someone?"
"I feel so sorry for your Majesty."
Ji Er rolled his eyes, took the opportunity to hold the handkerchief and stepped forward gently: "Sister, how could you do this to the prince?
Daddy taught us since we were young that husbands are the gods, and we women should serve our husbands well. How can you hit someone?"
After hearing this, Ji Yunqing looked her up and down: "I don't remember much of what you said..."
She began to roll up her sleeves skillfully - this was certainly not an intention to cook!
Seeing this, Ji Er immediately wanted to complain to King Zhao: "Your Majesty, look at her!"
But when she saw the condition of King Zhao, she suddenly remembered something, and immediately became like a chicken with its neck pinched, unable to make any sound, and quickly hid far away.
What she remembered was that it was useless to call him Prince!
Even the prince couldn't resist Ji Yunqing, it was simply terrifying.
Not only Ji Er felt this way, but the new concubine Liu, who had not been immersed in the big dye vat of Zhaowang Mansion, also found it unbelievable that someone dared to do this!
What's going on? Don't all women in the Central Plains regard their husbands as their God? Is this what it means to regard your husbands as your God?
If Ji Yunqing knew what she was thinking, he would definitely tell her that we just like to poke a hole in the sky.
She, Ji Yunqing, has nothing to fear but her life!
Concubine Liu thought about it, then stepped forward and comforted Prince Zhao gently and with concern.
Immersed in the gentle embrace of the beauty, King Zhao's complexion gradually improved.
"Xue'er is the most sensible, unlike the others... humph"
Concubine Liu said softly, "Your Majesty is a real man, he doesn't like to argue with those women, but I feel very sorry for you, Your Majesty——"
"Ugh"
King Zhao stopped her in time and whispered: "I am thick-skinned and it doesn't matter, Xue'er, don't talk nonsense."
Concubine Liu: "..."
She began to doubt, is this really the person with the greatest hope of ascending the throne as the information said?
It really doesn't look like it!
Even after being beaten up, you just let it go?
King Zhao didn't say anything else, but instead praised the gentle and kind Xue'er over and over again.
Concubine Liu had a faint smile on her face and looked at King Zhao with admiration from time to time.
"Your Majesty, your praise is too much!"
"Xue'er is like this only because she met the prince."
On the other hand, Ji Yunqing felt relieved when he saw that the two men finally stopped talking about the child.
He showed an expression of gratitude to the princess, and when his eyes swept over Concubine Wen, his brows couldn't help but soften.
As Ji Yunqing was thinking with his head down, he suddenly heard his own voice.
"Ji Shufei? Ji Shufei?"
She raised her head in confusion and looked at the two people who were in a sweet atmosphere.
"What's wrong? What's the matter?"
Concubine Liu was getting very close to Prince Zhao, and there was a hint of provocation in her eyes.
"Concubine Ji, what are you thinking about? You didn't respond to us after I called you several times. Are you angry?"
Prince Zhao snorted at Ji Yunqing and said with a gloomy face: "There is no need to say so much to her, Xue'er, you are just too kind."
Concubine Liu patted her soothingly, "Your Majesty, we just agreed on this."
Then, she looked at Ji Yunqing again, with an apologetic look on her face, but in fact, she was deliberately provoking him with her eyes where King Zhao couldn't see:
"The prince really didn't think that much. He just thought that I didn't have a child and the fourth young master was innocent and cute, so he thought--"
Ji Yunqing frowned and interrupted her: "I didn't think about that."
Concubine Liu didn't believe it, she continued: "But you just..."
Ji Yunqing didn't have the patience to listen to so many words: "Oh, I didn't want to listen to you flattering the prince just now, I was distracted for a while"
Flattery?
Concubine Liu and Prince Zhao looked unhappy, and the warm and sweet atmosphere between them disappeared in an instant.
All of them have been replaced by "flattering" and "flattering"
Even when Concubine Liu wanted to say something nice, she felt like she was flattering the other person as soon as she opened her mouth.
Everyone present looked at Ji Yunqing with admiration. How dare you do that if we are not sisters?
Are you really not afraid of death?
The princess hesitated for a while, and felt that there was no way to save him, so she simply suggested: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, why don't you just go away?"
Disperse quickly to stop Ji Yunqing from doing anything stupid.
Maybe we can save the person.
"Yes, let's go quickly, cousin, everyone is tired."
After all, we had a fight.
Being urged like this, King Zhao left with a wave of his sleeves, leaving behind one sentence: "There won't be a next time!"
Concubine Liu, who was taken away with them, almost vomited blood: No? That's it? You got beaten and there was no effect at all? This time it was in public!
In order to comfort the little beauty, King Zhao told her kindly: "In fact, this kind of thing is very common. Officials and ministers often fight in the morning court. It's not a big deal."
Concubine Liu was surprised: "But, but this is in the mansion, isn't this a bit wrong?"
Liar!
In recent years, they have sent many women to the officials' backyards, but they have never heard of such chaotic phenomena as women paying their respects or fighting in the mansion.
But King Zhao said confidently: "This is really not a big deal. Even in the morning court, fighting is inevitable. Is it possible that the backyard is peaceful?"
Judging others by his own thinking, King Zhao felt that his thoughts were normal.
"But today, Ji Shi was really too bold to attack me. Don't worry, Xue'er, I will let her know that she was wrong and make amends!"
"Your Majesty..."
Concubine Liu was very worried.
"Don't worry, Xue'er. I'll be back soon. You should take a rest first. You were tired yesterday."
"Your Majesty~"
Concubine Liu lowered her head shyly.
Last night, the two of them talked about the three people who dared to trespass into her yard late at night, as well as the discussion about Ji Yunqing.
Finally, when Concubine Liu heard that the eldest son's biological mother was under house arrest, she couldn't help but soften her heart and begged King Zhao to release her so that mother and son could be reunited. Of course, she was exhausted.
"Alright," Prince Zhao patted her head lovingly, "Today, I have postponed everything in order to accompany you. Now I have to get busy!"
"Well, Your Majesty, go ahead. Xue'er will be waiting for you here."
After leaving Concubine Liu's courtyard, King Zhao did not go to find Ji Yunqing immediately. Instead, he changed into a clean casual dress and then went to the Osmanthus Courtyard.
In the Osmanthus Courtyard, Ji Yunqing took a comfortable bath to wash away his fatigue. Then he leaned over the bathtub and asked slowly, "Where's Ruirui?"
"Master, after the fourth young master woke up in the morning, he played with the eldest and second young masters. I don't know how he wanted to learn how to cook, so they went to the big kitchen together. He hasn't come back yet!"
Ji Yunqing said with a smile: "The head chef must be very busy. When they have had enough fun, I will give each of the head chef one tael of silver."
After thinking for a while, he changed his words: "Forget it, I'm a pauper now, I'll tell the princess later and ask her to help me with the reward!"
Hemerocallis was speechless when she heard this: "...Yes"
