Chapter 451
As he said that, he looked at Ji Yunqing: "Why do you always speak in favor of others? Do you know the painter?"
Ji Yunqing immediately shuddered: "I don't know him, I don't know him."
She really didn't want to have the minor body separation surgery.
"Really? You two have some similarities in your painting skills."
"I really don't know him." Ji Yunqing said sincerely, "Your Majesty, if I knew someone like this, would I not tell you?"
"makes sense"
King Zhao's expression softened a lot, and he even smiled at Ji Yunqing.
When he smiled like that, he immediately felt as if spring had come and the ice and snow had melted, and he felt much more relaxed.
The voice was also particularly pleasant and attractive: "Tell me honestly who that person is. I am just asking casually and I will not do anything to him."
Ji Yunqing was tempted by the beauty for a moment, but soon his eyes became determined.
She looked sad: "If I knew, I would definitely tell the prince.
Unfortunately, I am so stupid that I can’t guess who that person is.”
She even deliberately raised her hand and gently hit her head with her fist in distress, perfectly portraying the image of a naive little fool.
"I am just asking casually. If you don't know, forget it."
King Zhao smiled gently again, his expression became even softer, and there was a hint of regret: "In fact, I like those kind and simple honest people very much. I really want to meet the honest person who dared to paint my portrait."
By the end of his speech, King Zhao's back teeth were almost broken.
This made Ji Yunqing very distressed.
She quickly held the handkerchief and stroked Prince Zhao's cheek, her face full of heartache: "Prince, please stop biting your teeth. If you bite them off, won't you get a big golden tooth instead?"
King Zhao: “…”
He looked at Ji Yunqing with an indescribable look.
The other party only needs to say a few words to make him speechless.
In the end, despite all the obstacles, Ji Yunqing still failed to keep the painting.
After King Zhao left, she closed her eyes tightly.
Who could have thought that just a few paintings would make her so nervous so many times?
next day
Ji Yunqing dressed up beautifully and went to the horse farm with Concubine Xu Shu.
She had no riding clothes before, but later they were made and now they fit her perfectly.
The princess was not there, and Concubine Wen was particularly busy today, so she decided not to follow her.
Concubine Xu was worried that Ji Yunqing would be nervous, so she comforted her: "Don't be nervous, there aren't that many people here today, so we'll do whatever we have to do when the time comes."
Ji Yunqing nodded: "Well, I don't often participate in this kind of activities. In fact, I am a little nervous..."
As she said this, Concubine Xu Shu comforted her gently and considerately.
As they talked, they started talking about King Zhao.
Concubine Xu Shu said casually: "The prince seems to value Yun Qing very much and often visits you, Yun Qing."
"No way!"
Ji Yunqing curled her lips: "Doesn't the prince like Concubine Liu the most?"
"This is different. How can we be so proud of Concubine Liu's status?"
When talking about this, Ji Yunqing became curious: "What's wrong with Concubine Liu? Can she be as precious as the prince?"
"How is this possible? How can it be more valuable than the prince?"
Concubine Xu sneered and said, "Except for Concubine Liu, you are the only one in the mansion who is most valued by the prince."
"You can't say that." Ji Yunqing's expression became depressed, and her long and curly eyelashes drooped: "Sister Xu, you don't know the pain in my heart."
Concubine Xu was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"It's just... ah!"
Ji Yunqing looked dazed and sighed heavily.
Concubine Xu wanted to ask more questions, but they saw Concubine Li coming towards them.
Ji Yunqing quickly changed the subject: "I just went off topic. Look, that's Concubine Li over there, right?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the position of Concubine Li.
Concubine Xu had already discovered Concubine Li, but what she cared about now was what Ji Yunqing hadn't finished saying. What exactly did she want to say?
However, now that there are other people around, it is not a good place to ask.
We can only give up for now.
When Concubine Li saw the two men, she greeted them happily.
His eyes were as gentle and pure as ever, without any embarrassment at all.
Ji Yunqing was thick-skinned, so of course she wasn't embarrassed.
She also took the initiative to wave and say hello: "Concubine Li, here"
The three of them walked together, chatting nonsense along the way to kill time, and soon arrived at the horse farm.
This racecourse is huge and the riding is very enjoyable.
When the three of them arrived, quite a few people were already there.
This time is very different from when Ji Yunqing first rode a horse.
A place was cleared in the shade for the women to drink tea and chat. Those women who were impatient had already picked horses and were riding them, galloping freely.
Ji Yunqing looked left and right and heard that Concubine Wen was chatting and laughing with a lady who was dressed elegantly.
Concubine Liu also greeted people from time to time, which surprised Ji Yunqing.
Didn’t this Concubine Liu claim that she was sent away to recuperate since she was young, and that she entered the palace not long after she returned?
How come she is so familiar with so many female relatives?
Could it be that Concubine Liu has many relatives and friends at home, and they just met and came over to talk.
It is not impossible.
Looking at the others, Concubine Li grew up in the capital and knew a lot of people. At this moment, she was talking to Concubine Fang from Prince Lie's mansion.
Ji Yunqing was not surprised at all. When she went to Prince Lie's palace last time, Concubine Fang had specifically asked about Concubine Li's situation.
At this time, Concubine Wen came over.
"Now that Yunqing is here, please find a place to sit. I'm a little busy today. The women of the Second Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Sixth Prince are all here.
I have to go entertain guests. If you need anything, ask the maid to come to me."
Having lived in the same mansion for so long, Concubine Wen naturally recognized the familiar maidservant beside Ji Yunqing.
Ji Yunqing also smiled considerately and said, "Sister, go and do your work first. I can do it myself."
After all, it is the manor of Prince Zhao's Mansion, Ji Yunqing thought, although she is not familiar with it, others are not familiar with it either!
Besides, those who survived in the palace are not stupid. Who would deliberately cause trouble outside?
Just as Ji Yunqing was thinking about it, she saw someone deliberately bullying others.
"Sister, I heard that you are still a concubine now? What's going on? Sister was a concubine when she entered the mansion, and now she hasn't made any progress at all?"
A gorgeously dressed woman, surrounded by many maids, looked haughtily at the thin woman standing opposite her.
The maid next to her was also very excited: "Concubine Zhao, you are only a concubine now, but our master is already a concubine, there is a huge difference between us.
Although you were the elder sister in the boudoir before, it is different now. Do you want to greet the concubine?"
"That's right, sister. It's not that I don't give you face, but you also heard it. The difference between respect and inferiority."
"By the way, sister, I heard that you have a little girl? This little girl is really well-behaved, unlike the brat I gave birth to who is always annoying."
The maidservant quickly flattered him: "Master, you can't say that. You gave birth to a little prince. Who knows how he will help the prince in the future."
The lady in fancy clothes was very happy after hearing this: "Haha, that boy is still young."
She turned her eyes and looked at the woman in front of her with malice: "Sister, have you thought about it? How are you going to salute me?"
No one responded for a long time.
The lady in fancy clothes looked gloomy and said in a threatening tone, "Sister, how old is your daughter now? Do you need me to help you find a good husband?"
"I have a good candidate here. If you marry her, you can become the prince's wife. Although the prince has broken legs,
But what if your daughter is lucky and gets well?
Isn’t this a good thing? Don’t you think?
Concubine Zhao finally spoke: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"I'm talking nonsense? I'm doing this for your own good. You're not favored, so how can you find a good marriage for my niece?
Don't you still have to rely on me to take care of it and prepare early?
The prince I told you about is a talented young man. If he wasn’t disabled, he wouldn’t have waited for my niece.”
The maids around her were also laughing triumphantly, and some even boldly stepped forward to grab Concubine Zhao, trying to push her down and force her to perform the salute.
The maidservant around Concubine Zhao had been caught long ago.
Just hearing these words, Ji Yunqing became furious.
Plus this action as if no one was around.
She walked over quickly.
"stop!"
Ji Yunqing took a step forward and pulled the person back with quick, accurate and ruthless moves. When he got closer, he could smell the strong and pungent scent of incense emanating from the woman.
Is this woman planning to smoke herself into bacon?
The woman in gorgeous clothes is not only dressed gorgeously, but also has her hair covered with pearls and jade. One can tell at a glance that she is of high status and very favored.
When the other party saw a strange woman suddenly coming, and then saw that she was dressed in ordinary clothes and had few people around her, he guessed that she was not a person of high status.
Not even a favored one.
After confirming this, the woman asked unhappily, "Who are you? How dare you ruin my good deeds?"
Ji Yunqing said nothing, took two steps forward, and pulled back the two maids of Concubine Zhao from the hands of the maids.
Because Ji Yunqing's movements were so natural and impolite, and she had such an amazing aura that it looked like she was going to kill anyone who tried to stop her, not a single maid dared to object.
The woman asked two more questions, and Ji Yunqing looked at the woman and said in an extremely arrogant tone: "You don't even know me?"
After saying that, she squinted her eyes and looked at the woman up and down, and suddenly sneered with disdain: "How dare you come here and act wild when you are so ignorant?"
After saying this, Ji Yunqing grabbed Concubine Zhao's hand, turned around and ran away.
The maids behind them quickly grabbed Zhao Li's concubine's maid and ran away very fast.
The group of people ran forward quickly, and the woman and seven or eight maids behind them were stunned.
By the time they went to chase them, they had already run far away.
Ji Yunqing had no intention of stopping until she ran a long way and saw people, then she slowed down.
Concubine Zhao whispered, "Thank you for what you did just now, but she is a very difficult person to deal with. She is my sister, she has always had a bad temper and is extremely petty. She will not let you go."
But Ji Yunqing didn't hear any of this. She was just scanning the crowd. When she saw King Zhao and his group, her eyes lit up and she walked up to them quickly.
"Your Majesty!"
She grabbed Zhao's concubine's hand and moved closer to King Zhao.
Concubine Zhao was horrified: "What are you going to do?"
What?
Ji Yunqing gritted her teeth and strode forward. Of course she was going to complain!
