Chapter 368
The opened veil did not close again.
Ji Yunqing quickly put on her inner clothes under the cover of the quilt, and looked at the remains of the worn-out clothes on the ground. She took a deep breath, got out of bed and got a new one!
As soon as his legs touched the ground, Ji Yunqing's legs went weak and he fell down.
She was half dragged and half held in a daze, with stars in her eyes. She heard the voice of King Zhao in her ears: "Weren't you quite energetic just now? Why are you so careless?"
Ji Yunqing slowed down a bit, supported the other person's arm without much concern, and stood up by himself: "It's okay, I'm just a little hungry, I'll be fine after eating something"
Any good person would feel weak if he didn't eat for the whole day and was busy all day.
"Your Majesty, I'll go get some clothes, put them on and we'll go."
As he spoke, Ji Yunqing staggered towards the closet, holding onto the cabinet and the wall.
After putting on her clothes and simply tying her hair up, Ji Yunqing looked at the silent King Zhao and said, "My Lord, let's go."
King Zhao nodded and walked out first.
Ji Yunqing hurriedly followed.
Soon, a table of simple and light meals was placed in front of the two.
Smelling the fragrance of the food, Ji Yunqing looked at King Zhao expectantly.
Eat it quickly. Eat it quickly.
Prince Zhao was not hungry. This table was prepared for Ji Yunqing: "Eat!"
Ji Yunqing quickly picked up the chopsticks, her hands shaking as she picked up the food. She ate two scallion rolls in a row and drank a bowl of old duck and ham soup. Only then did she feel like she was alive again.
Then she began to taste the food. After she had eaten half of the food, King Zhao stopped her and said, "Stop eating. Don't eat too much at once. It will cause indigestion."
Ji Yunqing stared at the food on the table, not even bothering to look at the person sitting next to her: "No, I'm not full yet." She felt that all the food on the table should go into her stomach.
King Zhao stopped her and said, "Stop eating and take these away."
Ji Yunqing was anxious now: "No! Prince, I'm not full yet, save it for a midnight snack in the evening."
It was the middle of the night and the kitchen was not lit, so she couldn't find anything to eat when she was hungry.
King Zhao was speechless. Finally, he watched Ji Yunqing rescue two plates of food that were delicious even when cold, and he actually planned to have them as a midnight snack.
"If you're hungry then, just ask the kitchen to make it again."
Ji Yunqing turned a deaf ear to this. You can make the kitchen cook with just one word, but I can't.
Besides, "it's late at night, everyone is asleep, there's no need to get up"
King Zhao said no more and changed the subject: "I see your maid is not young anymore, how do you plan to marry her off?"
Ji Yunqing calculated: "There's no rush for this, right? They haven't reached the age for marriage yet, so it's a bit early to think about it now. But this matter also depends on their own wishes."
Even the oldest girl in her courtyard, Hemerocallis, still had two years to go before she could become a maid in the palace and get married.
Ji Yunqing smiled and said, "My Lord, when did you start to worry about the maids in the mansion?"
King Zhao said directly: "The maidservant beside you is not young anymore, it's time to let her go"
Daylily... Ji Yunqing understood instantly that this person was not worried about the marriage of the maids in her yard, but was still remembering her slip of the tongue in the morning.
Of course she would be happy if she could get married into a good relationship, but if it was because of her that the girl got married casually, that would be unacceptable.
She looked at King Zhao and began to argue: "Your Highness, the maids around me follow me very attentively. I want to lead them to live a good life. I can't let you marry them off casually."
"You must pick the best one, who must be good-looking, ambitious, able to support the family, responsible, and not violent. You must choose the best one,
Ever since I entered the mansion, Xuancao has been following me very attentively. Well... I will marry Xuancao off as my adopted sister."
She was still worried and grabbed King Zhao's sleeve and said, "When the time comes, you have to let Xuancao and I take a look at him. Don't try to fool me."
It would be much easier for King Zhao to find a candidate than her who couldn't even leave the mansion, and his conditions would be much better. We must not let him go.
After just a few words, the matter fell on King Zhao himself.
He chuckled: "Why do you have so many requests? You're like marrying off your daughter."
Ji Yunqing said sternly: "Although I'm not marrying off my daughter, it's almost the same. I'm marrying off my sister."
"it is good"
King Zhao agreed immediately.
Suddenly, King Zhao thought that Ji could come up with so many requests in such a short time, so what about herself?
"Did you choose this way when you got married?"
King Zhao remembered the information he had checked and found that Ji once had a fiancé who was a scholar with no talent.
And it's useless. Not only can he not support his family, but he also has to live in Ji's house all year round.
Even the conditions that Ji Shi used to choose husbands for her maids were not as good as hers.
However, when King Zhao thought about it, he still felt uncomfortable, as if someone had coveted his things.
What's more, his people happened to investigate a past event.
Before entering the palace, Ji wanted to elope with the scholar, but in the end the weak and incompetent scholar did not show up, so Ji jumped into the river herself.
Later he was rescued and entered the palace.
He couldn't help but look at Ji Shi, whose almond-shaped eyes were sparkling, and whose face was always smiling, and who was so... enthusiastic towards him.
It's just a little extra thought.
King Zhao's eyes darkened, and his big hands gently stroked the other's soft palms. Ji was good in every way, so how could she not want to give birth to a child for him?
Although King Zhao knew in his heart that he hated this woman very much.
But King Zhao thought again, the child is innocent, how could his child not be born because of his hatred?
"Why aren't you talking? Didn't you have a fiancé? How did you choose him?"
Ji Yunqing felt uneasy under the gaze of King Zhao, and her palms were being kneaded and she couldn't pull them back.
She felt very uncomfortable: "Prince, that was not my choice, go ask my father, who knows why he likes that person so much?"
King Zhao was in a much better mood after not even being able to call out the scholar's name. He continued to ask, "Didn't you jump into the river for him? How do you explain this?"
It seems that today, King Zhao will not let it go easily unless he gets to the bottom of the matter.
Ji Yunqing hesitated for a long time, and finally broke the jar and said: "It's my sister who often tells me that I heard that Prince Zhao is over fifty years old and is a lecherous old man."
"It is also said that Prince Zhao likes to eat juicy young girls as a snack, saying that eating them can prolong life."
"There are others, like Prince Zhao, whose eyes are like the red lanterns at the door, his mouth is full of fangs, and his hair can break a person's neck with a flick. I was really scared.
I didn’t have much knowledge at that time, so I just believed it and thought it would be better to just die.”
