Chapter 412
next morning
When Ji Yunqing woke up, the place beside him was already cold.
She moved her body and found that she was indeed sore, but not to the point where she couldn't move.
Good luck!
Xuancao came over to help her put on her clothes: "Master, the prince said that we can go back to the mansion in the afternoon."
"Um"
Ji Yunqing nodded.
Ruirui had woken up a long time ago and was looking around the yard for new things. When he saw his mother, he ran over immediately.
"Mom, there are so many little bugs here"
Ji Yunqing nodded: "Indeed there are a lot. Last night I heard a lot of little insects chirping, like singing."
"I just heard that too!"
The mother and the child talked for a few words, and Ji Yunqing saw that the child had no psychological trauma.
She asked a few questions and found out that the child thought he had fallen asleep early and didn't know what happened afterwards.
It’s okay if you don’t know, we’ll talk about it later.
The mother and son had a simple breakfast, and Ruirui ran to play with the children in the village with full energy.
There were guards following him, and Ji Yunqing specifically told him to stay nearby, so he didn't really restrict him.
As the sun rose higher and higher, Ji Yunqing asked someone to move a chair and sat in the shade under the tree.
She didn't like staying in the room. There was no electric light at this moment, and the windows were not as bright as those in modern times. The room always seemed a little dark and depressing.
From time to time, his eyes swept over the children playing in the distance, and he saw Ruirui fitting in smoothly. After a while, he even became a little teacher, teaching these children to write their names in a baby voice.
Some children don’t even have a name, Ruirui took the lead and vowed to give them a good name.
It should have a good meaning and be loud and pleasant to the ear!
As I was watching, I heard footsteps beside me.
Ji Yunqing looked over with a smile still on his face, and then he was surprised: "Prince Lie? Why are you here?"
She still thought it was Zeng Cheng.
King Zhao has to investigate the newly discovered small workshop today, and continue investigating based on the clues provided by those people. In short, he is very busy.
King Lie looked at the undisguised surprise on her face and smiled: "Surprised?"
Without being polite, he sat down on another chair.
Ji Yunqing looked speechless, so she asked someone to bring one. It turned out that King Lie even brought his own chair, which showed that he came prepared!
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"
He followed Ji Yunqing's original gaze and smiled: "Rui Rui is such a lively child. He wasn't afraid of such a big incident yesterday?"
"My sister-in-law is in a good mood too. I was saying yesterday that if she encountered something like this, would she not allow her nephew to go out and play?"
Ji Yunqing: "Of course I'm afraid, but the child hasn't done anything wrong. It's not good to be too strict with him."
"Yeah, being too restrained is not good."
King Lie nodded and sighed: "It's a pity that not everyone knows this truth."
It was obvious that he was about to say something, but Ji Yunqing didn't respond.
She said nothing, and did not delay King Lie from continuing: "You definitely don't know why I said that, do you?"
He smiled bitterly: "You don't know, I have never had any children before."
Ji Yunqing glanced at him and said nothing.
It's not that there are no sons, it's that there are no sons.
This is not a rigorous statement.
"Later, I had eight children at once, as you know."
Ji Yunqing wondered, was this meant to show off?
She praised him: "Prince Lie is amazing. It is difficult for ordinary people to have so many children, and only one."
"These eight children were later given to the princess."
Ji Yunqing said seriously: "Hmm?"
Is this the point?
"But the princess has always been cautious, especially when it comes to children.
They have always been kept in their rooms, and they are rarely allowed to go to the main courtyard, let alone other places."
Ji Yunqing nodded: "That's indeed very cautious"
"But those children are young, so we should be cautious."
King Lie: "Sister-in-law, you know, how can a child be kept in a room every day? Wouldn't he become stupid? He won't even call me father when he sees me."
"…How can it be as serious as that?"
Ji Yunqing didn’t know why he suddenly brought up this topic. If you don’t think she can be raised well, you can raise her yourself. What’s the point of telling me?
Can I become like you and raise your child for you?
"The reason he can't speak now is that he is still young. It will be fine when he grows up. When Ruirui was young, I didn't let him go out. But later he slowly learned to walk and run, and I couldn't stop him at all."
"Your Highness is worried now because the children are still young. Everything will be fine when they grow up.
The prince will probably be worried by then. Why are there so many children? They are so noisy. You can see children everywhere in the mansion, and they are all vying to call me father.
"Then I'll borrow the good words from my sister-in-law."
King Lie saw that Ji Yunqing's expression was gradually relaxing, so he took the opportunity to talk about what happened yesterday.
"…I was shocked when I saw my sister-in-law holding up the knife. I didn't expect her to be so capable. She wasn't afraid at all in front of so many people. She wasn't afraid at all?"
Ji Yunqing thought about what happened yesterday. The child was rescued, and he didn't feel anything anymore.
She smacked her lips and said, "It's nothing. I'm just like that. I get anxious when I encounter something. Did I scare you, Prince Lie?"
"No no"
King Lie waved his hands quickly: "How could that be? I think my brother is not very happy."
"Maybe he doesn't like his sister-in-law to show up in public. I don't think it's a big deal. She's also looking for her child."
"My brother is that kind of person. He always thinks that women should be gentle and demure. How can he tolerate this?"
"Don't mind, little sister-in-law."
"If I had a wife like my sister-in-law who was straightforward, smart and capable, I would definitely cherish her."
"I admire girls like my sister-in-law. I think such girls are easy to get along with and not shy."
King Lie sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that I don't have this luck!"
Ji Yunqing blinked, a little surprised: "No way? The prince doesn't seem like that kind of person?"
She had never heard King Zhao mention it before. Even last night, he didn't say a word about it.
"Why not? Sister-in-law, the emperor just doesn't like to talk to you. He will just distance himself from you silently. By then, I'm afraid that you won't even know how you offended the emperor."
Ji Yunqing was like a top love-brained person, stubborn and unrepentant: "I don't believe it, I believe in the prince"
"Sister-in-law, whether you believe it or not is up to you. You should observe carefully to find out the truth."
He hesitated again and again, and finally made a great decision: "Sister-in-law, although I don't think my brother's idea is right, I don't want you to get hurt either."
"How about this, if my brother really treats you badly in the future, you can secretly send someone to pass a message to me. Since we are familiar with each other, I will find a way to help you."
A sinister voice sounded: "Really? How are you going to help, fourth brother?"
The two were startled and looked in the direction of the sound at the same time.
