Chapter 436
King Zhao stared at Ji Yunqing who was standing obediently with her head down. He knew that this woman was only honest on the surface but was not honest at all.
"Cousin, we were just talking just now. Concubine Ji is lively and cute, like a little sister. I haven't seen her for a long time and I miss her very much. We were really just catching up."
Concubine Wen looked at King Zhao with nostalgia. She hadn't seen her cousin for a long time, and Ji Yunqing's presence seemed redundant at this time.
Thinking of this, she began to suggest: "Cousin, why not let Concubine Ji go back first? It's getting late, and Ruirui might miss her mother."
King Zhao didn't care whether the child missed his mother or not. Besides, the child ran around the mansion every day, and he had seen him several times. Would he cry because he couldn't see his mother?
not to mention……
One of them treats her as an older sister, and the other treats her as a younger sister. It sounds like they really have a deep sisterly love.
"Why let her go back? Didn't you say you were talking? Tell me what you were talking about now!"
King Zhao didn't believe it. What could be said that required him to get so close to listen?
As soon as he said this, Concubine Wen's face instantly froze, and she was unable to say what the two of them had just said.
Upon seeing this, King Zhao looked at the two men with eyes that were more like stabbing them with a knife, wishing he could have them both tortured to death immediately.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Concubine Wen tried to explain: "Your Majesty, these are just little words between sisters, it is not convenient to say them out loud"
She was evasive, and King Zhao felt that something was wrong. He said in a cold tone, "Inconvenient? Tell me!"
When he said the last word, Ji Yunqing was so frightened that his body trembled violently.
Wouldn't tomorrow be her first anniversary?
If that was the case, she would use the white porcelain peony urn that was on the shelf in her study.
It is said that blooming flowers bring wealth and prosperity. There are blooming peonies on the white porcelain jar. She will be rich in her next life.
Seeing Ji Yunqing absent-minded, King Zhao suddenly asked above her head: "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about the prosperity of flowers!"
Ji Yunqing was frightened by the voice and trembled all over, and answered loudly reflexively.
King Zhao was so angry that he had no idea where to put his anger. However, he was also very confused and had to ask, "...Why are you thinking about this?"
Could it be that you want him to paint a picture of flowers in full bloom?
Haha, you really dare to think like that!
Ji Yunqing looked up at King Zhao who had walked in front of her without her knowing when. Before she could fully come back to her senses, she stupidly replied, "Ah? It has a good meaning!"
King Zhao narrowed his eyes. He had long been accustomed to the not-so-bright Concubine Ji. He ignored this small problem and decided to start with Ji Yunqing.
"What were you talking about with Concubine Wen before I came here? Tell the truth!"
Concubine Wen's eyes also fell on Ji Yunqing. She stared at her closely, hoping that Ji Yunqing would give a good answer.
Ji Yunqing thought about it and advised seriously: "Your Majesty, it's all in the past. It doesn't matter whether you listen or not."
King Zhao was very persistent: "I want to listen!"
He became more and more certain that the two men were saying something he couldn't hear.
Ji Yunqing: “…”Okay then!
This is what you must hear!
Before he spoke, Ji Yunqing emphasized again: "Your Highness, these sounds are the whispers between our little girls. If you don't like what you hear, don't blame us!"
"Don't worry, I won't blame you."
King Zhao's attitude strangely softened gradually. If those words were really unbearable to hear, Ji should not come out to harm others in the future.
Just stay in the yard and wait for him to be alone.
And the maids in her yard were all young and pretty, so you might as well replace them as well.
After getting a definite reply, Ji Yunqing finally felt relieved.
"Your Majesty, it is like this, we are talking about you"
King Zhao: “???”
Concubine Wen looked at her in surprise.
Are you really going to tell it honestly?
Can this really be said?
Ji Yunqing ignored the gazes of everyone present and continued: "Prince, we are talking about how you often go to Concubine Liu during this period of time."
Such straightforward words made King Zhao purse his lips. Did Ji feel uncomfortable?
He said in a deep voice: "I will go wherever I want to go, and you will not have any say in that."
It was obvious that he had deliberately let Ji Shi hear the news. Now that he heard that Ji Shi was really sad about his favor for others, King Zhao felt a little uncomfortable.
Even if he really disliked Ji Shi, he couldn't provoke her like this.
Ji Yunqing had no idea what was going on in King Zhao’s mind, so she prepared her words and continued.
"I'm telling Sister Wen that you go to Concubine Liu's place too many times and don't often go to other people's places."
After saying this, Ji Yunqing felt that this was too blunt, as if she was dissatisfied, not to mention that King Zhao had just warned her.
She quickly added: "I'm not saying that I have any dissatisfaction with the prince. In fact, there is no point in saying more, haha.
It’s just… it doesn’t make much sense if you think about it, right?”
Wait, why does it seem more wrong the more she explains?
King Zhao was shocked by Ji Yunqing's words "it's boring". Was she saying that he was boring, or was she saying that this kind of thing was boring?
No matter what the situation was, King Zhao's face did not look happy.
Ji Yunqing swallowed carefully, "Your Majesty, I'm done. That's all I have to say. Do you have anything else to ask?"
You asked me to say it, but I didn't force you to say it.
King Zhao bit his back teeth and said, "...No more."
At this time, Ji Yunqing also reminded him considerately: "Your Majesty, don't let other people hear these words. It will be bad if they spread out."
She glanced at the maids present.
Maids: “…”
Help! We dare not spread this word!
But is the prince really like this?
I really can’t tell!
The coldness in King Zhao's eyes grew even colder: "Don't worry, it will never be spread out."
Ji Yunqing became even more frightened.
Are you planning to silence her?
But the trick of diverting anger is really effective. Look, now King Zhao no longer thinks about her relationship with Concubine Wen at all.
I guess his mind is full of things like man's dignity.
And today King Zhao will definitely stay with Concubine Wen. It is Concubine Wen who will bear the brunt of the anger and she will remain unharmed!
A moment later, Ji Yunqing came out of Concubine Wen's courtyard happily. His steps seemed steady, but in fact, he was so happy that he almost jumped up.
Staring at Ji Yunqing's departing back, King Zhao planned to settle the matter with her later.
But, is he really weak?
No, although he went to Concubine Liu's place the most times, he was always there to rest and recuperate. It was impossible for him to drain his body.
King Zhao's face was unusually dark. This Ji family had actually learned to slander her.
A thought flashed through my mind: Was Ji so bold before?
Unconsciously, King Zhao became interested in the lost memory.
Why did he lose that memory?
