Chapter 430
After King Zhao left, the maids gathered around him.
"Your Majesty, didn't you just..."
"Look carefully, our sugar cubes are pretty good looking."
Fang Tang was so embarrassed by the jokes that she dared not look up. She held the handkerchief in her hand, feeling both happy and scared.
The joy was that the prince remembered her.
I'm afraid she doesn't know what her master will do to her when she finds out about this.
"Stop talking, the prince just wants us to pay more attention to the master, there is no other intention."
As she said this, her cheeks flushed, and thinking of the prince's unparalleled handsomeness, she felt even more elated.
The prince is so powerful, but the master's body is so useless that she can't even give birth to a child.
She took the prince's words to heart.
The prince values offspring so much, if she could give birth to a child, wouldn't it be a step toward success?
But what should she do since her master is holding the prince?
King Zhao strode away, the aura of love in his body gradually dissipated, and finally returned to complete indifference.
"what happened?"
Eunuch Shi whispered: "Someone from the palace, please enter the palace immediately."
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Also, the fourth young master is waiting at the front door. He just arrived not long ago."
King Zhao nodded.
When I passed by the door, I saw a little kid squatting there.
There were a lot of cakes, fruits and a few toys in front of him.
Seeing him coming from a distance, they happily went forward to greet him.
He picked up the little guy and carried him into the yard.
This time I didn't go to the study, but went into the bedroom.
While changing clothes, he asked the little kid what he wanted to do.
Ruirui said in a crisp voice: "Father, when I was playing in the mansion today, I heard the maids in the mansion say that I am not your biological child.
I asked my mother, and she recalled that when she made me, there were only you and her in the room.
She didn't say such things outside, but you spread the rumor that I'm not your biological child?"
King Zhao: “…”
Just now, King Zhao repeatedly described Concubine Liu as taciturn, and now it was his turn to be described as taciturn.
Facing the curious eyes of the child who was looking at him, King Zhao was helped to change into a new outer robe. He always felt that the boy was looking at him to see if he was cheating enough.
And he thought that the green hat was the one he wore himself.
"Nonsense!"
"I have never said such a thing."
But where did this kid hear such words?
King Zhao looked at Eunuch Shi with a warning: "Go check it out."
"If there are false rumors, suppress them"
Eunuch Shi was startled and immediately responded, "Yes."
In fact, he got the news yesterday, but he thought it was not a big deal, and the news was spread covertly and not publicized.
With the princess around, the news would surely not last long, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
I didn't expect that the Fourth Young Master would ask this question.
The young and ignorant Fourth Master was still humbly seeking advice: "Talk without a chicken? Do you have to have a chicken to talk?
Or was there another chicken in the room besides you guys, and it was that chicken who was talking nonsense outside?"
This touches upon a blind spot in knowledge.
King Zhao had already put on his clothes and was waiting for the maids to surround him and put on various accessories.
Hearing the boy's voice, he knew that he didn't have time to be a teacher to the children at the moment.
"If you want to know the meaning, ask your elder brother."
"Oh"
"But this rumor doesn't need to be spread by people who were present at the time. It was spread by those ignorant people. You are my biological child."
"Oh"
Ruirui nodded obediently again.
After hearing this answer, Ruirui didn't ask any more questions. She said goodbye happily and ran out to play.
If someone comes to him and says something similar, Ruirui will seriously ask that person's name and write it down.
"You actually know more about this matter than my father. I will tell my father about this matter and let him question you carefully."
Ruirui still felt that someone must have overheard something, but he was too young to ask, so he had to ask an adult.
As for why I didn’t tell my mother, of course it’s because my mother doesn’t like to take care of these trivial matters. My father is so busy every day, he must like to do these things.
At this time, Ji Yunqing learned the general situation from Qian Er. After returning, he slapped his thigh and lamented that he did not perform well in the morning.
Also, the princess was not satisfied with her.
——The princess is in charge of the palace affairs. It is obvious that what happens in the palace will not escape her eyes.
She didn't tell him, nor did she help to suppress it. Her attitude was already very clear.
Is the princess still upset about Ruirui abducting her daughter to eat watermelon?
It can’t be because of Prince Zhao, because it’s not the first time that Prince Zhao has come to her courtyard. It must be because of the little princess!
After much deliberation, Ji Yunqing decided to remain in place.
A timid person might have gone to apologize now, but Ji Yunqing thought that things had not reached that point yet and she should not rush to appease at the slightest sign of trouble.
That would only make people look down on her.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunqing gradually calmed down.
Even if the princess really didn't care about her anymore, it didn't matter if she was treated a little worse. Anyway, Prince Zhao would come occasionally and he didn't do anything to Ruirui again.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunqing received a new job.
Concubine Liu was ill, and King Zhao ordered her to visit her.
And go often.
Ji Yunqing frowned in confusion: "..."
What was the fuss about?
The next day
Ji Yunqing got enough sleep, dressed herself up carefully, making sure she looked bright and beautiful, before going to visit the patient.
"Concubine Liu, I heard that you were ill. I am so sad. I came here specially to visit you today."
Concubine Liu was half lying on the bed. As soon as she saw her, she remembered what King Zhao had said to her yesterday, and she felt annoyed when she thought about it!
With a bad temper in her heart, Concubine Liu spoke rather impolitely: "Is it necessary for Concubine Ji to visit the patient in person? This is really embarrassing for me, my sister."
Ji Yunqing was carrying a basket of beans and eggplants. There were a lot of these vegetables recently and everyone was tired of eating them, so she picked them as gifts for this visit.
She put the dishes on the bedside with a smile, not feeling the cold at all, and then sat down comfortably on the edge of the bed.
The crystal clear earrings swayed and fell on her small and delicate ears, making Ji Yunqing's skin look whiter than snow and her neck look longer.
She was wearing a light blue dress, which made her look dignified and beautiful enough, and her tone was also gentle and moving.
"Don't worry about me, Concubine Liu. I'm just here to visit you. It's nothing to worry about.
By the way, why is Concubine Liu sick? "
Her tone was pure and innocent, as if she really didn't know what was going on.
Concubine Liu said angrily: "I'm so angry, maybe I met a blind and evil person!"
"That's it!"
Ji Yunqing blinked her eyes, her eyes were ignorant, she had no idea who the villain was: "That concubine Liu is too careless, is it because she has a foul mouth and says too many unpleasant things that she provoked the villain?"
"You...ahem!"
Concubine Liu suddenly dozed off, and the maid beside her hurriedly said, "Master, please don't be angry."
A maid had red eyes and knelt down: "Ji Shufei, please don't bully our master anymore. Our master is not in good health and can't get angry."
"What's going on? Why is it so messy?"
Ji Yunqing looked towards the door and saw Concubine Li and a few others standing at the door, her tone full of surprise.
The one asking the question was Concubine Li.
