Chapter 375
Since the last unpleasant meeting, Ji Yunqing did not see King Zhao for two whole months.
Even though she didn't like to pay attention, the news from the mansion kept ringing into her ears.
"Prince Zhao is very fond of the new concubine Liu."
"Because of Concubine Liu, even Concubine Wen was scolded by the prince. She is the prince's cousin!"
"Concubine Liu's favor continues to grow, and even the princesses have to avoid her."
"With just one simple remark from Concubine Liu, the prince released Concubine Li."
"The prince took Concubine Liu out of the palace and spent a fortune on jade jewelry worth one hundred thousand."
"Your Majesty..."
"Concubine Liu..."
"Concubine Liu..."
Ji Yunqing felt that there were so many inexplicable news about Concubine Liu. Are the servants in the mansion so idle now?
Ruirui ran over happily, holding a handful of dandelions tightly in her little hands, and raised them up like offering a treasure: "Mommy, mommy, please blow on them, blow on them."
Ji Yunqing smiled and lowered his head to blew it, and the white hair on it instantly scattered.
"Wow! My mother is so beautiful!"
Ruirui exclaimed loudly and couldn't help reaching out to catch the flying little fluffy ones, but she couldn't catch any.
The little guy simply gave up, looked up at his mother expectantly, and asked crisply: "Mom, where are we going to play today?"
Ji Yunqing thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the West Garden, it's quieter there."
Although the distance is a bit far, just consider it as exercise.
"Okay!"
Ruirui cheered, his eyes sparkling, and he asked expectantly, "Can we still eat bamboo rice today?"
"Can"
Ji Yunqing nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Since the weather has gradually gotten warmer, Ji Yunqing often takes the children out to play. It is too troublesome to go back home for meals, so he simply prepares the ingredients in advance and has a picnic on the spot.
In the past two months, the mother and son have tried various dishes for lunch, including beggar's chicken, roasted rabbit, roasted fish, stone fried rice, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and bamboo tube rice.
They brought the child to Xiyuan. Since it was quite far away, no one usually came back from here, so it was a good opportunity for Ji Yunqing and his mother.
Walking to an open space that looked pretty good, Ji Yunqing stopped with satisfaction: "Let's stop here today."
The place where they go out every day is not fixed. Ji Yunqing is very cautious in this regard and is determined not to leave any room for others to make any mistakes.
The maids received the order and quickly and skillfully checked the surroundings, spread insect repellent powder, and someone even brought down the recliner for Ji Yunqing to rest.
Ji Yunqing was holding a book and flipping the pages leisurely. The little cub Ruirui cheered and began to explore the surroundings.
Children find everything new and curious, not to mention that at such a young age he also has an important task to shoulder, which is to find suitable bamboo for cooking.
The little guy became more excited.
The space was large, so Ji Yunqing let him have fun.
After a while, Ruirui came back running "da da da".
Hearing the voice, Ji Yunqing put down the book in his hand, raised his eyes slightly, and saw a human cub holding a lotus flower in his hand.
"Mother, I think this flower is so beautiful. I'm giving it to you. Sister Hongfeng helped me pick it."
Ruirui knew that he couldn't go to the water, so he said sympathetically: "Don't worry, mother, I won't go to the water. The puddle is too deep and Ruirui will be soaked into bean sprouts."
In order to let the young Ruirui fully understand the meaning of "not being able to go to the water", Ji Yunqing did not directly prohibit it, but used soybeans as an example.
Soak the soybeans in water and you will find the soybeans have not only swelled up but also sprouted the next day.
Ji Yunqing told Ruirui earnestly: "If you soak in water, you will be soaked into bean sprouts."
Rarity's eyes widened in horror: "Will little sprouts grow out of Rarity's head?"
Ji Yunqing nodded: "Yes, by that time Ruirui has sprouts, he won't be able to speak or move, and he won't be able to see his mother anymore."
Although it sounds a bit cruel, it successfully made Ruirui remember that she should not go near the water.
At this time, Ji Yunqing took the lotus and admired it in his hand: "It is really beautiful."
Ruirui actively suggested: "Mom, let me help you put this flower on your hair. I can do it beautifully."
These are all small matters, Ji Yunqing simply let the little guy do it.
The little cub stood on tiptoe and carefully pinned the lotus on his mother's head, then took two steps back to take a look, and then made some adjustments.
Then I began to appreciate my mother's stunning beauty.
"Mom is so beautiful, like a lotus fairy!"
Ji Yunqing was amused: "You are really good at talking"
Ruirui stared at her mother and said, "Ruirui is telling the truth. Mother looks even more beautiful when she smiles."
Since this kid was really good at making people happy by giving flowers and praising people, Ji Yunqing was in a good mood and personally baked a bamboo tube rice for Ruirui.
Of course, it was the maid who cleaned the bamboo tube and put the various ingredients that had been prepared long ago into it.
Then Ji Yunqing sat beside the fire and looked at it from time to time. When it was finally cooked, he watched the maid take the bamboo tube rice down.
Ruirui smelled the fragrance and paced around anxiously. Children digest food quickly and they had been exercising for a long time, so they were already hungry.
"Mom, can we eat now?"
Ji Yunqing watched the maid clean up the bamboo tube rice and took the chopsticks over: "Okay, eat!"
"Great!"
Ruirui held the chopsticks in her hand and started eating happily.
While eating, he still remembers his mother: "Mom, it's delicious, you eat it too"
“Yeah, let’s eat together.”
Ji Yunqing picked up the chopsticks, lowered his eyes and started eating.
"Isn't this Concubine Ji? Long time no see, why are you here with the Fourth Young Master?"
"What are you eating? It looks dirty."
"Sister Ji, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but if you really can't raise a child, why not give the Fourth Young Master to Concubine Liu?
The concubine is kind-hearted. Maybe if you beg her, she will help you support the fourth young master."
Hearing the voice, Ji Yunqing raised his head and looked at the person who came.
The person who spoke was Concubine Wang, but she actually came with Concubine Liu and Concubine Li.
Ji Yunqing raised his eyebrows. The prince released Concubine Li because of a word from Concubine Liu. It was normal for the two of them to stay together. Why did the prince's concubine also go together?
"It's not been long since we last met. Didn't we just meet the day before yesterday?"
"Ok?"
The king's concubine looked puzzled.
Ji Yunqing sighed: "Concubine Wang, what you said about long time no see is not quite right, let me correct it, do you understand? Do you want to eat some pig brain to replenish your body?"
Concubine Wang finally understood, and she retorted: "Is this the point? Concubine Ji, why don't you agree with Concubine Liu raising the fourth son?
Concubine Liu is kind and favored by the prince, so aren't you delaying the Fourth Young Master?"
She looked at the child who was looking at them curiously, and said with great sorrow: "Poor Fourth Young Master, you could have had a better mother."
Ruirui was puzzled: "But I already have a mother?"
