Chapter 465
"Didn't you ask me to return your umbrella? Now I have it."
"What umbrella..."
Halfway through his speech, Ji Yunqing remembered.
Oh! She did say that.
But at that time she just mentioned it casually, and she didn't expect that King Zhao would actually come and give her an umbrella.
Ji Yunqing was dumbfounded when his eyes fell on the rows of dozens of umbrellas.
Is this too much?
"You want me to pick my own umbrella?"
Ji Yunqing said this and walked forward to take a closer look.
As he watched, Ji Yunqing couldn't take his eyes away.
She has never seen anything good and doesn't have much taste, but she does have the most basic aesthetic sense.
The colors of these umbrellas are all very beautiful. When you open one, you will find the patterns on them are very delicate. Ji Yunqing fell in love with them at once.
Ji Yunqing couldn't make a choice at all, so she chose not to be polite to King Zhao.
"Your Highness, these umbrellas are all very beautiful. I would like to choose a few more." They have already been brought over, so it should be okay for her to pick a few more.
King Zhao looked at Ji Yunqing and nodded nonchalantly, "Okay."
Today she wore a cute emerald green dress and casually braided two pigtails, which were tied into bows with ribbons, making her look casual and neat.
Moving your eyes downward, you will see that the belt embroidered with silver threads is tightly tied around the waist, making the person look slim and with long legs.
Maybe he had gone somewhere to play, his emerald green sleeves were rolled up, revealing a white wrist.
Ji Yunqing was choosing very seriously, and he felt that this one was pretty, and that one was also beautiful.
It’s so hard to choose!
She turned around and looked at King Zhao, saying cheerfully, "Your Highness, I want to choose an umbrella of each color. When it rains, I can match the color of my clothes with an umbrella of the same color!"
Come to think of it, it must be very beautiful.
"Um"
King Zhao had no objection at all. He even took the initiative to ask: "You only need one sword of each color? Pick three of each color. Forget it, these are all yours. Pick whichever you like."
Ah, did it go from one umbrella to multiple umbrellas and then to so many umbrellas so quickly?
Ji Yunqing was a little slow to react: "But I can't use it all..."
King Zhao didn't mind this at all: "If you can't use it up, just use it slowly"
"Well, then, thank you, Your Majesty."
Ji Yunqing was a little uncomfortable. She still had the mentality of a petty citizen and only bought one umbrella.
Although she herself owns several beautiful oil-paper umbrellas.
Seeing the maids put the umbrellas in an empty room, Ji Yunqing was a little worried: "When we go back, how are we going to take these umbrellas with us?
I can’t just leave it here. I need to use everything you give me, Your Majesty.”
“No problem”
King Zhao felt much better when he saw that she finally stopped focusing all her attention on the broken umbrellas and looked at him instead.
At this time, he saw Ji Yunqing's bright eyes looking at him, and he wanted to say a few more words: "Send someone to send it back when the time comes."
Ruirui held one of the umbrellas in her hand and said to her mother in confusion: "Mom, these umbrellas are a bit big, do you have a small umbrella that fits me?"
He looked through many of them carefully and finally confirmed that there was no one suitable for him.
Ji Yunqing was surprised: "There are so many and none of them are suitable? I will buy them for you later."
She thought that the prince probably thought that since he was sending her an umbrella, he had not included Ruirui.
King Zhao lowered his eyes and looked at the little guy: "Don't you have any yourself?"
Ruirui nodded: "Yes, there are, but there are not so many colors." He also wanted something like his mother's, which he could match with his clothes.
King Zhao did not hesitate: "It's enough to use some of them, why do you need so many colors?"
Ji Yunqing felt a little embarrassed. Was King Zhao ordering her? He was beating around the bush and saying that she wanted more...
Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a bit too much. Ji Yunqing changed his words and said, "Your Majesty, I don't need so many umbrellas. The colors of those umbrellas are more than the colors of my clothes."
It’s not that her clothes have few colors, it’s just that she has too many umbrellas.
Wow! She just asked about the quantity and it turned out to be a hundred umbrellas.
This is really an exaggeration.
After hearing Ji Yunqing's words, King Zhao pondered for a moment and quickly proposed a solution.
"I will send someone to bring you cloth." He then changed his words: "I will tailor clothes for you. You will not be short of clothes."
Ji Yunqing was stunned.
It sounded like she was deliberately trying to cheat someone out of their clothes. Her voice was weak: "That's not what I meant."
"I just wanted to sigh that there are so many umbrellas - never mind"
Under King Zhao's cold gaze, Ji Yunqing chose not to say anything more.
She gets new clothes to wear, what a bargain!
Thinking of this, Ji Yunqing became much more attentive - otherwise she would always feel guilty.
Remembering that they were still standing in the yard, Ji Yunqing hurriedly invited the other party.
"My Lord, let's go in and talk."
Ji Yunqing led the group in, but his eyes fell on Ruirui who followed them in.
She smiled and spoke naturally: "Your Highness, you came at the right time. Ruirui and I happened to have painted several paintings each, and we couldn't find a fair and impartial judge to help us evaluate them."
As he spoke, Ji Yunqing gestured to Xuancao to get the painting, and Xuancao did as he was told.
After a while, Hemerocallis came in again with a dozen paintings in her arms.
Smiling, she said, "Concubine"
Seeing that she was having a hard time holding it, and there were no other maids around, Ji Yunqing quickly took it and put it on the table.
King Zhao's eyes suddenly fell sharply on the maid, and he frowned and examined her carefully.
Realizing King Zhao's gaze, Xuancao froze in fear and quietly hid behind Ji Yunqing.
Ji Yunqing looked up in confusion and met King Zhao's gaze.
She raised her chin slightly and signaled to Hemerocallis: "You go down first."
Hemerocallis quickly bowed and left.
Walking up to Prince Zhao, Ji Yunqing scolded, "Prince, what are you looking at? You're scaring me."
Prince Zhao retracted his gaze and pointed with his fingertips. He had almost forgotten about this maid. Why was she still so close to Ji Yunqing?
"I have recently seen several young talents..."
These words really caught Ji Yunqing's full attention.
Even Ruirui came over with interest.
The mother and son looked at King Zhao at the same time, as if saying: Come on, tell me!
King Zhao paused before speaking the next words.
One was a sixth-rank military general, another was a palace guard, and the other was a scholar, but this man came from a poor family.
Ji Yunqing frowned. This was her first time as a matchmaker and she had no experience.
"I told Hemerocallis to let her think about it herself."
She reached out and grabbed the man's sleeve, which was wide and had a great touch: "Your Highness, please take the trouble to look for her. This is my first time as a matchmaker." We daylilies deserve the best.
King Zhao sneered: "What? She still wants me to marry her?" Then she can be with Ji Yunqing forever?
This is not okay.
Unexpectedly, before he even said anything, Ji Yunqing became anxious.
"No, no." You are a slut, don't bring harm to my maid.
"Your Majesty, let's look at the paintings."
