Chapter 477
She picked up the teacup on the table and said, "I just like to drink hot water. Hot water is good!"
You should know that many poisons have smells or colors. There are also colorless and odorless poisons, but they are very expensive and hard to find.
Ji Yunqing thought, if he had the ability to get those poisons, why not give them to anyone else instead of wasting them on her?
Concubine Li didn't know what Ji Yunqing was thinking, so she continued to persuade him: "That tea is good tea, you will definitely like it."
When entertaining guests on weekdays, if there is no tea, people will always look down on you.
She was really considering Ji Yunqing.
Ji Yunqing still refused: "No, I don't know how to taste tea. It would be a waste even if the tea is good.
Besides, if someone sees that the tea I drink tastes good and talks to me about tea, wouldn’t I be exposed? "
"So I'll just do what I want to do. I won't meet many people anyway.
For example, you are the first person who needs my hospitality this year. Will you look down on me just because I drink hot water?"
Concubine Li paused for a moment, "Of course not!"
She always thinks a lot and questioned, "What will you treat the prince with when he comes to your place?"
Ji Yunqing was silent: "...Boiled water"
Concubine Li: "..."
really?
Ji Yunqing ignored the question: "If the prince wants to drink, he can bring his own tea. I just like to drink boiled water, and I didn't force him."
"Why did you come to see me today? Have you cleaned up your place? Is it busy?"
Ji Yunqing asked a series of questions and complained again: "Your Majesty said it too suddenly. I don't know how to clean up. It's so annoying!"
She finished speaking, supporting her chin with one hand and pouting her lips slightly.
Concubine Li looked at her and smiled: "Don't you know? The envoy from Nanyue will be arriving soon, and the prince will definitely go to receive him then." So he had to return to the capital.
Hearing this news, Ji Yunqing was surprised for a moment: "Ah? Is this true?"
Concubine Li looked at her expression and was sure that she really didn't know and was not pretending, so she couldn't help but think about it.
She asked tentatively: "You... don't care about what's happening outside?"
Ji Yunqing shrugged: "I don't want to be like this, but I don't understand anything and no one tells me."
"Then does the prince have..."
When talking about this, Ji Yunqing became even more annoyed, and his tone became weak, like a poor little cabbage.
"The prince would never tell me this, don't you know what kind of person he is?
All he does all day is tell me to take good care of the kids, stay put and don't go anywhere, like a nagging old woman."
After finishing speaking, Ji Yunqing patted his mouth gently: "Hey, why am I saying this? You must not tell the prince, otherwise what if you lock me up too?"
There was a hint of worry between her eyebrows, "I don't know how Concubine Liu was locked up. I was so scared when I heard it that I didn't even dare to go out."
Concubine Li did not expect that she would bring up this topic. She looked a little surprised, but she continued:
"Isn't it because she likes you..."
"How is this possible? It's just some rumors."
Ji Yunqing looked at her with innocent and clear eyes: "Do you believe these nonsense? I would hook up with others? Do you believe this?"
Concubine Li remained silent.
She touched her cheek.
I wonder who did that to her in the first place?
Ji Yunqing continued to ask: "Li Shufei, you are always well-informed and have a close relationship with Concubine Liu. Do you know any news?"
Concubine Li smiled dignifiedly: "Concubine Ji, you are joking. In fact, I have an average relationship with Concubine Liu. What news can I know?"
The relationship is average?
Ji Yunqing glanced at her sideways.
The relationship is average, so if he can enter the mansion, he should be bailed out by Concubine Li?
Ji Yunqing's eyes were full of doubt, and he said slowly: "You are hurting Concubine Liu's heart too much, aren't you?"
She couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that she likes you one-sidedly?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ji Yunqing immediately felt that he had hit the nail on the head!
That’s right. If there wasn’t real affection, who would be so eager to do so?
Concubine Li had been immersed in palace fighting for a long time, and she could see at a glance the thoughts written on Ji Yunqing's face.
She couldn't help but feel her temples throbbing. What was going on?
Who would like that kind of weirdo?
Under Ji Yunqing's gaze, Concubine Li couldn't help but clarify: "Concubine Ji, don't say anything nonsense, Concubine Liu and I... are innocent"
Her relationship with Ji Yunqing is closer than that with Concubine Liu.
Thinking of this, she looked at Ji Yunqing.
Under the mottled shade of the trees, the pretty woman had a light smile on her face, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, as if she was thinking about something wonderful.
She couldn't help but ask: "What are you thinking about now?"
Ji Yunqing came back to his senses and flirted: "Ah? I was thinking about you."
She rested her chin on her finger and tapped her cheek lightly. How could she test the mysterious relationship between Concubine Liu and Concubine Li?
Concubine Li is an old veteran in the palace, while Concubine Liu is a fresh and juicy newcomer. There should be no intersection between the two.
"Concubine Li, I remember when Concubine Liu first came, you two were inseparable all day long.
She saved you without hesitation, and you stayed by her side all the time. Who wouldn't envy that kind of relationship?"
Concubine Li's face darkened when she heard this.
She squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "At that time, there was also the king's concubine with them, so they were not two people at all." Don't force them to be a couple!
Ji Yunqing sighed enviously: "The relationship between the three of you is really enviable!"
It turns out that double love is not popular in this palace. It's all because of Prince Zhao who set the example.
"but"
Ji Yunqing changed the subject, his tone inexplicably carrying a hint of sadness.
"The good times didn't last long, because Concubine Liu was locked up. Now Concubine Li doesn't even look at Concubine Liu, and only cares about coming to me. She is really indecisive!"
Concubine Li: "..."
She really couldn't bear it anymore.
What is this?
There was a hint of anger in her tone, and her voice was stiff: "Please be careful with your words, Concubine Ji!"
She was so angry that she said word by word: "There is really nothing between me and Concubine Liu. It's just that when Concubine Liu entered the mansion, she didn't know the situation here, so she chose me to work for her, and that's why I begged the prince..."
Ji Yunqing said "Oh", "Is that so? Whatever you say is what it is."
She didn't believe it anyway.
However, Ji Yunqing secretly wondered, could it be that the two knew each other before?
But Concubine Li is at least seven or eight years older than Concubine Liu, so these two people are not related at all.
Either they know each other or they are related.
Ji Yunqing's eyes turned, and she suddenly remembered something she had overlooked.
She had seen Concubine Liu talking to Concubine Fang from Prince Lie's mansion. They didn't look like they had just met. She also knew that Concubine Li and Concubine Fang had a good relationship...
They are really related!
But to be honest, Concubine Liu has relationships with many people. She was very busy that day and seemed to have talked to quite a few people.
After thinking about it, Ji Yunqing's head started to hurt.
She thought with a serious look that in the struggle in the harem, she rarely felt like a poor student doing a test. The last time she had this feeling was when she was studying advanced mathematics.
