Chapter 366
Although he didn't know who came up with the idea of eating in the mansion's big kitchen, Ji Yunqing thought it was a good idea.
So that you don’t have to blame her if something goes wrong with the food.
This way everyone can rest assured.
As for asking the princess for help and giving her money as a reward, it was not as simple as she told Xuancao.
When she handed it over to the prince, she handed over a fake account book, but she actually still had money in her hand.
The main purpose is to test the princess's attitude. After her impulsiveness today, she will definitely offend King Zhao.
Will the princess stay away from her, or choose to maintain the status quo?
Ji Yunqing narrowed his eyes. Now that a new person has entered the mansion, he has a high family background and is very arrogant. How will the princess respond?
She placed one hand on the edge of the bathtub, and in the curling hot steam, she picked up the tea beside her and took a sip.
"Hemerocallis, let's not put tea leaves in it next time. Who told you to use dried coriander as tea leaves?"
"Master, I think the leaves look nice in shape and have a nice fragrance after brewing. I think you will like them."
Hemerocallis did not hide anything and said the most important point: "Besides, aren't these grown in our yard? There are too many to eat.
You also said that this is a difficult period and we need to save money in all aspects."
Ji Yunqing silently walked away from the scary teacup: "...I don't like tea, just change it to water!"
Apart from the cup of tea, Ji Yunqing still enjoyed taking a very comfortable bath.
She happily put on the soft, comfortable, half-worn homely clothes. The cuffs were a little white and frayed from washing. Ji Yunqing lowered her head to make sure she hadn't gained weight, and the clothes still fit her well. She smiled with satisfaction.
"Let's go. I'm exhausted today. Let's eat and have a good rest!"
I didn’t feel it when I was taking a bath, but now that I think about it, I start to feel hungry.
She has worked very hard today, so she needs to eat something to replenish her energy!
"Hemerocallis, I want to eat a bowl of rice, two steamed buns, three pig's trotters, and four pieces of braised spareribs. No, I want to eat a few more pieces."
Hemerocallis agreed: "Master, it's already prepared for you. There's the pig's trotter you ordered specially."
To be honest, looking at all the masters in the mansion, only my master would eat this kind of thing.
It’s not that it doesn’t taste good, it’s just that other masters control their appetite all year round, mainly eat light meals, and rarely eat such heavy meats.
Ji Yunqing was satisfied: "My Hemerocallis is the most considerate. No wonder I like you the most in the whole mansion."
Daylily smiled reservedly.
The master and servant were chatting and laughing in their own yard in a very relaxed manner.
After turning the corner, Ji Yunqing looked up and saw a living person who shouldn't be here. The smile on her face, which had not yet faded, froze completely at this moment.
"My lord?"
Why did King Zhao come to her?
Ji Yunqing thought in great confusion.
But looking at his long legs, broad shoulders, thin waist, and handsome face, she had to admit that this man was King Zhao.
She smiled and walked forward briskly: "My Lord, why are you here? How long have you been waiting without telling me?"
King Zhao stared at her with a smile on his face and didn't say anything until Ji Yunqing could no longer maintain the smile on her face, and then he finally spoke.
"You don't have much time to wait, just before my concubine falls in love with someone else in the whole palace."
The smile that Ji Yunqing had worked so hard to maintain completely collapsed.
She smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Highness, I just said it casually. After all, Xuancao has prepared pork ribs and pig's trotters for me.
If someone can give me more, I will immediately change my mind and fall in love with that person!"
King Zhao's expression gradually relaxed, and he looked at Daylily beside him mercilessly.
Hemerocallis was so frightened that her face turned pale, her body stiffened, and she lowered her head, not daring to raise it.
Finally, King Zhao said in an ambiguous tone: "You are so shameless" and diverted his attention.
Ji Yunqing pretended not to know and stepped forward to instruct Xuancao: "What are you standing there for? Go and make tea for the prince. The kind I just drank."
Daylily finally realized what was happening and responded, "Yes, Master."
Wait, what kind of tea did the master ask her to make?
After sending the person away, Ji Yunqing smiled again and greeted the people into the living room.
"My Lord, how come you have time to come and sit with me? Recently, the concubine came to the mansion, and I thought you would accompany Concubine Liu wholeheartedly."
Are you here to settle accounts with her?
Ji Yunqing kept thinking in her heart, now that the other party has come to her, how should she fool them.
As a result, King Zhao looked her up and down and couldn't help frowning: "What kind of tattered clothes are you wearing? Do I need you?"
Ji Yunqing didn't care much about these things: "I'm not going out, I'm just wearing them casually, these clothes are all washed clean."
She felt a stir in her heart. Fortunately, it seemed that King Zhao’s anger was not that high.
Otherwise, now we shouldn't be asking her what old clothes to wear, but considering whether to skin her and make clothes out of her.
Thinking this in her mind, Ji Yunqing didn't ask proactively, because she didn't want to seek trouble.
So try to find some topics to chat.
"Your Majesty, please take a look at my latest butterfly hairpin. The butterfly wings on it will move by themselves if you shake them casually. Isn't it beautiful?"
This was one of the pieces of jewelry that came with the clothing set the princess gave her last time. Ji Yunqing particularly liked this butterfly hairpin, so she often wore it.
King Zhao raised his eyes and took a look at the hairpin in the woman's hair. It was indeed nice.
Ji Yunqing tried hard to find a topic and showed the jade bracelet on his wrist: "Your Majesty, look at my new bracelet. It's bright and beautiful. Doesn't it suit me?"
King Zhao looked at the slender white wrist that was across his eyes. It was indeed very beautiful.
"Your Majesty, look..."
Ji Yunqing brought up seven or eight topics in a row, but King Zhao did not respond and the conversations ended quickly.
She was so sad that she could not even cry: "Your Majesty, I observed the sky last night and found that the stars in the sky were so bright and beautiful. I couldn't even count them..."
Oh, she's so panicked now.
King Zhao chuckled and finally spoke: "Are you done?"
Ji Yunqing made a groan and took the opportunity to admit her mistake. She lowered her head pitifully and choked up, "Your Highness, I shouldn't have used violence in public today. This is not good..."
“But you forced me to do this.”
Ji Yunqing looked at him dimly: "If you hadn't insisted on teaming up with the new concubine Liu to snatch Ruirui away, I wouldn't have reacted so strongly, and I wouldn't have taken action directly.
So, in the end, it was all your fault, Your Majesty, because you deliberately indulged Concubine Liu, which led to you being beaten.
Tell me, don’t you deserve this?”
That’s right, no matter what, Ji Yunqing will not admit that he did anything wrong. It’s all because of you guys!
The more she spoke, the more confident she became. This was the fact, and she was not wrong. Why should she be tortured by this guy?
Going a step further, is she really wrong?
