Chapter 500: Calculations by All Parties
"What kind of nonsense is this? Don't you have a lot of jade pendants? Are you still short of this?"
Concubine Cen frowned and said unhappily.
Concubine Wang choked. Is this what she was talking about?
"Concubine Cen, do you think I should find another jade pendant that suits my taste? Or is this one more precious?"
"You can do whatever you want, even buy a jade pendant worth 100 yuan."
Concubine Cen left with a cold face and returned to her own yard.
Looking at the sleeping baby lying on the bed in front of her, she stared at him for a long time.
The maids and wet nurses bowed, but she forgot to call these people to get up.
It was the caring maid behind Concubine Cen who looked at her master's expression, then waved her hand gently, signaling these people to go down temporarily.
After doing all this, the head maid heard Concubine Cen say: "You said, this jade pendant was originally mine. If it no longer belongs to me, should I break it into pieces?"
The head maid was horrified when she heard this.
"Master, please don't be impulsive. There's still time to wait and see."
"That's too late"
Concubine Cen knew that everything requires timing. If you miss it, you will really miss it.
"But, Master and Madam..."
"Don't worry about that, they will support me"
The maidservant was still worried: "What if the real jade pendant is damaged..."
She has been following her master for many years, how could she not understand her master's thoughts?
Concubine Cen looked at her with confused eyes: "What does it matter? There is only one left, so it must be true!"
but……
The head maid opened her mouth, but didn't dare to continue persuading her.
She didn't continue talking. Concubine Cen was actually a little timid in her heart.
If the prince finds out about this...
No, you won’t find out!
But she had to get herself a talisman.
As for Concubine Wang, don't think she doesn't know. Concubine Wang is deliberately trying to sow discord among people.
If she wants to win the prince's favor, it also depends on whether she agrees.
Concubine Cen turned her gaze, walked into the yard, and saw Miss Qian standing in the corner.
If the prince was able to fall in love with her in the previous life, then why couldn’t he be attracted to her in this life after she had carefully trained him for so long?
Time passes quietly, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching rapidly.
There was also a lot more festive joy in the mansion.
For example, today, Ji Yunqing suddenly had an idea and ordered the Mid-Autumn Festival limited food - mooncakes, and the kitchen actually delivered them.
If this is not done, it will definitely take some time to get it out.
She tasted it with satisfaction.
A mooncake is not big, but the kitchen sent a lot of flavors at once. If you really eat them all, won’t you be too full?
So, Ji Yunqing and Ruirui, mother and son, sat intimately in the yard, sharing a piece or even half of the food together.
At first, it was Hemerocallis who used a delicate little knife to separate the fruits. Later, Ruirui came over and wanted to separate them himself.
"Let me try. I want to share mooncakes with my mother."
Hemerocallis looked at her master, then at the young boy who was still so young. There was no way she could let him pick up the knife by himself.
So I had to carefully hold the little boy's soft palm and slowly cut off a piece of red bean mooncake.
Ji Yunqing ate a small piece and motioned Ruirui to try it.
The remaining ones can be shared with the maids in the yard to try. In short, everyone gets a share.
The whole yard was filled with joy and Ruirui's baby voice.
"Mom, this mooncake is delicious!"
“This is so sweet!”
"I want this one more, give me another piece!"
Feeling that he had almost finished eating, Ji Yunqing stopped in time and looked at Ruirui: "It's too sweet, we can eat the rest tomorrow."
Ruirui is a child after all, and can't eat too much sweets.
Seeing that his mother didn't eat any more, Ruirui was reluctant, but thinking that he could continue eating tomorrow, he nodded obediently.
"Okay!"
Ruirui said this while his eyes lingered on the mooncake.
Ji Yunqing simply diverted his attention.
Suggest: "Let's play chess!"
So, the big and the small sat in the courtyard with a chessboard in front of them.
The black and white chess pieces each occupied a corner and began battle mode.
This was Ruirui's first time playing chess. Ji Yunqing was teaching him while recalling the rules of chess. The more he thought about it, the more he doubted his memory.
"Is that right?"
"Wait a minute, I think I remembered it wrong."
"..."
Finally, she gave in and said, "How about we come up with a completely new rule for playing chess?"
The more I thought about it, the better this idea seemed to me: "I won't use those chess rules that I'm already familiar with to bully you. Let's come up with new chess rules together, so that our levels will be exactly the same!"
Everyone present: "..."
Already familiar with it?
Who is familiar?
Master, you?
Ruirui nodded seriously, considerately ignoring the fact that her mother had forgotten how to play chess.
"Thank you, mother. You really think about me."
Ji Yunqing smiled, this child is so nice.
The two played chess for a while, and Ji Yunqing soon almost forgot the latest chess rules. Looking at the innocent little face opposite him, Ji Yunqing was silent.
Suggestion: "We just ate too much, let's go for a walk"
Ruirui is very happy as long as she is with her mother.
He nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"
So the big and the small went out quickly.
Before leaving, Ji Yunqing specifically asked someone to bring their painting supplies, and when they found a place with good scenery suitable for painting, they would paint together.
Holding Ruirui's little hand, the mother and son walked out of the yard.
Not long after walking, Ji Yunqing saw a familiar-looking maid bending over with a broom and sweeping the ground by the roadside.
There were often maids working everywhere in the mansion, and Ji Yunqing had long been accustomed to it.
But this maidservant seemed unfamiliar, yet also seemed familiar.
After all, it was on the only way to Osmanthus Garden, so Ji Yunqing took another look at it.
After taking a look at this, Ji Yunqing became even more confused: "Huh?"
When he said she didn't look familiar, he meant that this maid was not the cleaning maid who usually worked here. When he said she looked familiar, he meant that Ji Yunqing really knew this person.
"Money...girl?"
Ji Yunqing shouted tentatively.
As a result, the maid actually looked up in response.
She wiped the sweat beads on her forehead with her sleeve, revealing a fair, pink and beautiful face.
At this time, because of exposure to the sun, the delicate skin is slightly red, but it is even more heartbreaking.
An ordinary maid's outfit was worn by Miss Qian Er, making her look like a beauty wearing a sack.
Her voice was clear and bright, like a spring in summer. Her beautiful eyes turned to Ji Yunqing and she saluted quickly: "Concubine."
Ji Yunqing looked at her and paused for a moment: "Why are you here? Concubine Cen doesn't want you anymore in that courtyard?"
Miss Qian lowered her head, still holding the rough broom in her hand, her fingertips as soft as pink and white petals resting on the dirty broom handle:
"Concubine Cen was just angry for a moment, and it was me who did something wrong." Her voice became lower and lower.
