Chapter 493
There was a few seconds of silence.
King Zhao's tone was inexplicably frightening. Ji Yunqing's heart tightened, but his face remained expressionless.
"Your Majesty, you have so many children, aren't they enough? Otherwise, you can take me in as your goddaughter."
She accused him, "You only think about having a baby, and you don't like it after I give birth to it. Why are you like this?"
"Look at you. How many words have you said to Ruirui since you came in? You make me feel so sad."
"Besides, is it me who doesn't want to have a baby? It's obviously because you, Your Majesty, didn't work hard. You're like that... Tsk."
Ji Yunqing pouted in disdain: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, it's boring"
Boring?
King Zhao's defenses were broken.
He remembered that once before, this woman said he was boring, and now she said he was boring.
He remembered it clearly.
No one knows how hard he worked in the days that followed!
In order to maintain his self-esteem, he didn't say much before, but now once again...
King Zhao finally couldn't help but said, "...You are lying!"
In response to this, Ji Yunqing blinked in surprise, and the innocent expression on his face seemed to say, how can you make up such a thing?
King Zhao: ...Could it be that because he didn't perform well enough, this woman's attitude towards him gradually became more and more perfunctory?
"Aren't you picking vegetables? I'll help you."
After King Zhao left, Ji Yunqing stayed where he was, thinking in his heart: Oh, didn’t Zeng Cheng tell Concubine Liu the secret of how to transform?
If King Zhao had turned into a gorgeous beauty... there wouldn't be this terrible conversation right now!
Nanny An then quietly walked in after picking a basket full of vegetables and said to Ji Yunqing:
"Master, you must convince the prince to let the miracle doctor treat the princess."
Ji Yunqing: "Hmm?"
How to say?
Nanny An took the opportunity to eavesdrop on the two people's conversation just now, but of course she didn't have the chance to eavesdrop on the second half.
At this time she continued: "I just heard that the prince said he had invited a miracle doctor, and you suggested that you and the princess take care of their bodies together. At first I thought you were too kind,
On second thought, you are too conspicuous by yourself, it would be much better if you have the princess to block the view.
If the princess really gets pregnant at this point, what should she do with the seven young masters in her courtyard?
Whether sending her back or quietly disposing of her, it will inevitably lead to enmity with Concubine He..." By then, while the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman will gain.
Nanny An imagined the future and felt fascinated.
She looked at her master with her bright old eyes, which contained infinite expectation and joy.
It turns out that the master is not unwilling to fight, but is very scheming and cunning, and his scheming is not something that ordinary people can do.
Ji Yunqing: “???”
Did she really think that much?
But looking at Nanny An's admiring eyes, she nodded decisively: "Well, you are right."
She didn't say whether she thought so or not.
Worried that Nanny An would eagerly pull her aside to discuss "big things", Ji Yunqing slipped and walked quickly outside.
"The prince is working outside, we can't all be lazy, I'm going outside now"
When he reached the door, Ji Yunqing paused as he stepped over the threshold.
For some reason, she remembered the pill that Concubine Zhao gave her.
If she really listened to Concubine Zhao and secretly gave the pill to the princess, then the princess would become pregnant.
What would the princess do if she found out she was pregnant just a few months after the adoption?
Looking at King Zhao's leisurely and dignified posture, he casually picked a emerald green cucumber with small thorns with his slender fingers.
Next to him was the short Ruirui, who was carrying a small bamboo basket and picking cucumbers seriously.
Ji Yunqing's eyelids jumped and he rushed out quickly.
In any case, everyone else is working, and she can't always be lazy.
By the time all the vegetables were picked, there were already several piles of them in the yard.
The scene is spectacular, bringing everyone the joy of a good harvest.
King Zhao looked at Ji Yunqing, who was smiling innocently, and said with a rare hint of anger: "What should we do next? Should we pile them all in the cellar?"
Ji Yunqing shook his head: "Some of them can't be put in, and I can't put in so many at once."
Seeing that King Zhao didn't show any reaction, she waved her hand and said, "Make the pickles today!"
Cut what needs to be cut, dry what needs to be dried, and pickle what needs to be pickled
The yard suddenly became busy.
Several maids brought out a large chopping board and a kitchen knife, and another maid carefully took out a large pot.
This big pot requires bricks to make a stove, but there are no spare bricks in the yard. The maids looked at Ji Yunqing in embarrassment.
Ji Yunqing immediately understood their problem and turned his gaze to the top of the wall.
In fact, the wall doesn’t need to be that high, or it might be possible to return it after use.
Seeing that Ji Yunqing really wanted to tear down those walls, King Zhao's temples throbbed, and he rubbed his forehead helplessly: "Don't think about it, I will send someone to build a stove for you."
Ji Yunqing was pleasantly surprised.
"Really? That's great, Your Majesty, you are so kind."
King Zhao was speechless.
He had heard many people praising someone after helping him solve a problem, but had he ever heard it for something as...simple as a few bricks?
If he told his brothers about this, who would dare to believe it?
Soon the yard was bustling with activity.
Eunuch Shi saw that his master and Concubine Ji were busy, and even the Fourth Young Master was washing vegetables seriously. He wanted to be lazy but didn't dare to.
King Zhao helped for a while, and then he saw the maid carrying out several jars of snow-white salt from the cellar and pouring them into the seasoning for pickling pickles without blinking.
He said with a smile: "It seems that you have prepared so much in advance."
Ji Yunqing nodded as a matter of course: "How can I not prepare in advance? I'm not the kind of person who starts to prepare in a panic when things happen."
After listening to what the prince said, Eunuch Shi also actively agreed - he also took the opportunity to take a break.
"That's right, Your Majesty, look, the salt that Concubine Ji bought is really good. I guess it must have cost a lot of money, right?"
Ji Yunqing smiled and nodded: "Well, it is indeed expensive, but the quality is very good"
As a prince, King Zhao is still very busy and has to show off his status as a serious prince, which is somewhat of an occupational disease.
He couldn't help but take a few more glances: "This salt is really good, white and fine, not much worse than the one in the palace. Where did you buy it?"
Ji Yunqing felt nervous. Why did this guy care about this stuff?
She had been using it openly for several years with no problems, but who knew she would be suddenly attacked.
"Your Highness, I didn't buy it myself, so how do I know what happened? Maybe the batch I bought at that time was particularly good.
Besides, as long as I have money, how can I not buy something of better quality? "
But King Zhao felt that there was something wrong.
Think about it carefully, is the salt in the hands of ordinary salt merchants really that good?
