Chapter 415
Ji Yunqing felt puzzled: "Who can I meet?"
Concubine Liu raised her lips and said, "There are so many of them, such as Sister Ji's former acquaintances, and Sister Ji's former fiancés, etc."
"…Ex-fiancé is ex-fiancé, what does this 'the' mean?" This is a tomato article, not a spicy article.
"You'll have to ask your good sister."
Concubine Liu covered her lips lightly, her eyes full of teasing: "Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Ji has a younger sister in the mansion. I learned from her that Concubine Ji once lived such a wonderful life."
Ji Yunqing's sister?
Everyone turned their eyes to Concubine Hou.
Ji Er gritted his teeth. Didn't he say that he had to find a way to reveal this matter to the prince? By then, when the prince got tired of Ji Yunqing's romanticism, he would think of her who was younger and more beautiful?
Are you saying it here now?
She felt a sense of panic in her heart.
Your Majesty, what are you thinking?
She lowered her head even more, not daring to look at the prince who had such a terrifying aura.
"Prince"
The person who spoke was not Ji Er, but Ji Yunqing.
Facing the gloomy-faced King Zhao, Ji Yunqing remained calm.
"It's just a few small things. Is it worth it for Concubine Liu to bring it up? A daughter of a family is sought after by hundreds of families. There were many people who wanted to discuss marriage with me, but in the end, didn't they all fail? How come I entered Prince Zhao's palace?"
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Concubine Liu, her tone lowered and slowed down: "Why? Concubine, you really want to know about my past experiences? Why don't we talk alone, by candlelight at night?"
Ji Yunqing spoke the last four words so softly and slowly, as if they were a breath, and they instantly disappeared into the air, leaving no trace.
But she believed that Concubine Liu, who was always keeping an eye on her, would know what she said.
"That, that's not necessary." Concubine Liu felt inexplicably embarrassed, but she was convinced in her heart that Ji Yunqing was a very romantic man.
A thought popped into my mind.
Was Ji Yunqing always like this, seducing those men?
Even their brothers and sisters...
How could people from the Central Plains be like this?
Not daring to think about it any further, Concubine Liu hurriedly looked at King Zhao, and it was like a bucket of cold water was poured over her head, calming her down instantly.
"Your Highness, you must be very tired from the journey. Why don't you come and sit with me? I have a set of massage techniques that are very effective. I learned them from an old doctor. Would you like to try it?"
How could anyone else let Concubine Liu take the spotlight?
Soon they surrounded King Zhao:
"Your Majesty, I made a set of clothes for you, but I don't know if the size is suitable. Would you like to try it on?"
"Your Majesty, I specially made a lotus and tofu soup. You have been tired for so long, drink some soup to relax yourself."
"Your Majesty, my father sent me a white jade Guanyin a few days ago, saying it was a new treasure. I am short-sighted and cannot understand it. I would like to ask Your Majesty to help me take a look at it."
"My Lord, the baby is moving in my belly now..."
"Your Highness, Miss Four has recently started to call you father and has been talking about how much she misses you."
"Your Majesty..."
Listening to these sweet voices, Ji Yunqing took Ruirui's hand and wisely hid aside.
She couldn't leave now, but she could reduce her presence and wait until the prince left or the princess said it was time to end the party before she could return to Osmanthus Courtyard.
I don’t know what the yard is like now that she has been away for a day.
It should be the same as before.
After a while, the results came out.
None of the monsters in the Spider Cave got a piece of Tang Monk's flesh. It was because the Emperor heard that Prince Zhao had returned that he summoned him into the palace.
The flesh of Tang Monk, Prince Zhao, was finally eaten by the little devil, the Emperor.
After returning to Guihuayuan, Ji Yunqing coaxed and deceived people, and through continuous efforts, he finally lived a peaceful life again.
That morning, the princess held a meeting and announced something not that big or small.
Concubine Cen, who had been recuperating at her parents' home, finally came back!
Everyone looked at Concubine Xu, who was currently raising the prince's adopted son, who was suspected to be Concubine Cen's biological son.
His expression was full of anticipation for a good show.
If these two people confront each other directly, how much advantage can they take from the opportunity?
One is the princess's cousin, and the other is the woman the prince values most.
——Why was Concubine Xu Shu the most valued? Because she had three children, two of whom were boys, and neither of them were her biological children.
The prince gave her his son to keep as his own, doesn't this prove the truth?
Seeing the covetous look in her eyes, Ji Yunqing couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that the prince didn't let her raise the child.
Fortunately, she gave birth to a boy, and the unfortunate concubine Cen also gave birth to a boy.
The prince would not let a woman raise both her biological and adopted sons at the same time, because it would be visibly biased towards the biological child.
This is also the reason why Concubine Xu Shu was able to raise two boys.
She gave birth to a daughter, and the two boys are not her biological children, so it is not easy for her to favor either one.
As for giving the child to someone without children to raise, the princess was unwilling to do so, and neither was Concubine Wen. Concubine Liu was willing to do so, but she was too young having just entered the palace.
She was given to a concubine to raise. Among those in the same position, Concubine Cen had a stronger background and was easily bullied by her.
Of course, these are all Ji Yunqing's guesses. As she is not a worm in King Zhao's stomach, she has no idea what King Zhao is thinking.
Time passed quickly. Just a few days after the princess made the announcement, Concubine Cen came back with the child.
She was dressed in a clean and refreshing outfit, and because she had just given birth, she looked indescribably gentle, which was very eye-catching.
Especially her slender waist, which is almost the same as before she gave birth.
Ji Yunqing sat under the osmanthus tree in the yard, recalling Concubine Cen's stunning appearance today. How could she be so beautiful right after giving birth?
Was she so beautiful back then?
No, it seems?
It's just confinement after childbirth, is it necessary to work so hard?
In comparison, she is indeed too lazy.
Seeing that the master hadn't spoken for a long time, Nanny An thought that the master was sad, so she stepped forward to comfort her.
"Master, Concubine Cen just returned home today, so the prince naturally has to go over to see her, at least to save face for her. Perhaps the prince will come to see you tomorrow."
Ji Yunqing was extremely surprised. She didn’t have to be so unlucky to be chosen to do homework, right?
"How is that possible? Besides, the prince didn't go to my place a few days ago. If he was going, he would go to Concubine Liu's place."
She was able to calm down quickly, partly because King Zhao returned to his usual behavior and was very fond of Concubine Liu.
With Concubine Liu taking the brunt of the attack, she wasn't so conspicuous.
But she can't take it lightly.
Ji Yunqing had nothing to do, so he planned to find some time to check the entire yard again.
At this moment, an unexpected person suddenly came to visit.
"Sister, you and I are sisters, we should get along well with each other."
