Chapter 369
King Zhao fell silent.
Ji Yunqing glared at him angrily and asked, "What did you ask?" "Now that you're treated as a monster, are you finally satisfied?"
Ask, ask, ask, she talks as if she can make the decision herself, but it's all that crap that Old Man Ji did.
King Zhao asked the last question as if inadvertently.
"If you were allowed to choose, which one would you choose?"
Ji Yunqing became interested: "Your Highness, are you planning to marry me off?"
She asked excitedly: "Who are you going to marry? How old are you? What's your name? What do you do now? I have a child, is it okay for me to marry him?"
King Zhao's face darkened and his voice was gnashed with teeth.
"I will not marry you off!"
"Oh!"
Ji Yunqing looked disappointed and sat back down: "Then why are you asking? I won't get married, why am I thinking about these unrealistic things?"
Ever since she entered the palace, she no longer thought about these things. The higher her expectations, the more dissatisfied she would be with real life.
In this era, it is her greatest luck if she can live to old age smoothly.
But King Zhao obviously would not let her go if he could not get the answer. "Tell me, are you still thinking about your fiancé?"
"No, well, I'll tell you my selection criteria. They just need to be able to support their families and not hit anyone."
Ji Yunqing used the standards she had in her previous life to evade him.
King Zhao didn't believe it: "Is it that simple? Are you fooling me?" The standard for choosing a husband for a maid was not even high enough.
"How can it be simple? Don't you know not to talk nonsense?"
Ji Yunqing was not convinced: "If I can support my family, then I will have food and clothes, and I won't hit anyone or suffer physical pain. That's already pretty good."
In the society of the past, there were a few men who liked to commit domestic violence and would be condemned by society, although it was useless. But in this era, domestic violence is even more common.
"I am lucky to have met the prince. I have food, clothes, a place to live, and I won't be beaten or sold. This proves that my wish has been fulfilled.
Your Majesty, don't worry so much. Is it because I didn't do well enough that I made you worried?"
Ji Yunqing looked at him with clear eyes, his eyes full of sincerity: "My Lord, I am actually very grateful to you..."
King Zhao responded with one sentence: "It's getting late, go wash up!"
Ji Yunqing felt relieved, knowing that today's incident was over. Sweet words were still the most effective.
She had a relaxed smile on her face: "My Lord, I'll go wash up first."
By the time she finishes washing up, the man should have left, so she doesn't even need to see him off. It's really thoughtful.
This fully proves that saying nice things is the most effective!
Taking a leisurely pace, Ji Yunqing decided to make quick work of it. She had slept too much this afternoon and was not fully refreshed, so she needed to have a good rest later.
I don’t have to get up early tomorrow morning. The more Ji Yunqing thought about it, the happier he felt.
While taking a bath, Ji Yunqing was shocked to find that there were quite a few flower petals in the bathtub.
She couldn't help but reach out her hand to scratch the water surface and asked curiously, "Why is it a flower petal bath today?"
There are too many petals in the mansion now?
Ji Yunqing just thought about it for a moment and then started to enjoy it happily.
This time, the person who came in to serve was Hongdou. She looked at her master and seemed to want to say something, but finally, seeing that her master didn't care about these details, she remained silent.
Ji Yunqing was still thinking about the interruption before dinner, so he wanted to take the opportunity to clean up, so he sent Hongdou to do it.
"Go get me a dress. I want to wear the orange one."
Hongdou said, "Master, the clothes have been prepared for you. I didn't choose them."
If she didn't choose it, who did?
Ji Yunqing didn't think much about it: "Then go and bring me a cup of tea, I'm a little thirsty"
"……Yes"
Soon the door opened and then closed again.
Ji Yunqing quickly took out everything inside his body using a simple and rough method.
After doing all this, she was still worried, but there was no other way.
It can only depend on God’s will.
Or should we go back and pray to Guanyin Bodhisattva?
She doesn't pray for a child, and doesn't pray to have one, so that should be okay, right?
Soon, Hongdou placed the tea on the small table next to her.
Ji Yunqing drank a few sips of water, then looked at the teacup in confusion: "Huh? Where did you buy this tea? It smells really good. Can we afford it given our family's financial situation?"
Didn’t people use coriander to impersonate tea before?
No one spoke afterwards.
After washing himself, the water was a little cold. Ji Yunqing came out of the bathtub and quickly stretched out his hand to urge: "Give me a towel - Prince?"
Ji Yunqing turned around and was shocked: "When did you come? Why haven't you left yet?"
When she was taking a shower, she usually had her back to the door. After all, it would be embarrassing if someone came in and opened the door to see her.
Therefore, no replacement was discovered.
King Zhao threw the towel at her and said, "Why, I personally serve you, but you are still not satisfied?"
“Satisfied, very satisfied, haha”
Ji Yunqing didn't dare to say anything more. She quickly wiped her body dry and went to get clean clothes.
What I found was actually a set of cool and refreshing clothes.
She paused, the gaze from behind her sent a chill down her spine for some unknown reason.
At this time, King Zhao said quietly: "It's okay not to wear it."
Ji Yunqing: Then put it on.
At worst, she could think of a way to get rid of the person.
As a result, just as she put on her clothes, before she could say anything, Ji Yunqing was picked up again.
She was horrified and said quickly: "My Lord, you don't have to accompany Concubine Liu? It's almost evening."
King Zhao held the person in his arms without stopping: "Didn't you say you wanted to thank me?"
Ji Yunqing: “…”
I was right, but——
I didn't say I wanted to thank you in this way. Can't I just fold a thousand paper cranes?
"Your Highness, Ruirui hasn't seen me all day today, and I wanted to talk to him." She also wanted to send King Zhao away first and say a few words to the child.
King Zhao quickly walked to the bedroom and put the person on the bedding. The room had already been tidied up and looked brand new.
When King Zhao heard Ji Yunqing mention the child, he was very unhappy: "Rui Rui is old now, and it's time for him to live in the front yard."
Ji Yunqing covered his mouth with his hand: "What are you talking about? How old is he? I know that your eldest son can live in the backyard until he is four years old, and other children can live longer."
"Are you trying to take away the people closest to me?"
"The closest? The person closest to you is this king!"
King Zhao had originally considered her health and wanted to be gentle with her, but now he no longer has that intention.
Ji Yunqing hurriedly shouted: "Prince, calm down!"
She rolled her eyes. Since what happened tonight could not be changed, she had to make this man promise her that he would not let anyone else adopt her child.
She said quickly: "What I mean is, Your Majesty, you have so many things to do and you don't have time to accompany me.
Having a child can help me pass the time, otherwise I don’t know how I will wait until the prince comes to see me.”
"That's right," King Zhao nodded, "Then let's have more children, so we can pass the time more easily."
