Chapter 501

Ji Yunqing thought for a moment and asked, "What are you going to do?"

The second Miss Qian responded with a gentle voice: "I will wait until Concubine Cen calms down and remembers me, then I should have a chance to go back."

This was said without confidence, and there was no idea when Concubine Cen would calm down.

Ji Yunqing: "What if she didn't think of you..." Wouldn't I have to sweep the floor here forever?

Sweeping the floor is not an easy job.

In particular, they have to get up early in the morning before dawn every day and if there is something dirty, they have to keep an eye on it and sweep it again. In short, the master must not see the dirty places.

It is exposed to the sun in the summer, frozen in the winter, blown by the wind and rained on.

Although it was sunny when Ji Yunqing went out, she had a maid to help her hold an umbrella to block the sun.

The umbrella she used was the one that King Zhao gave her when she was at Zhuangzi. There was no need to waste it just by leaving it there, so Ji Yunqing used it whenever she got the chance.

Miss Qian Er was an honest maid. She said in frustration: "If Concubine Cen can't remember me..."

"Since you can't remember, then that's my fate!" She lowered her head and said stubbornly, "Others can do this job, so can I!"

"Ambitious!"

Ji Yunqing looked at her approvingly, "Since you think so, then do it well."

"But don't be too tired, wear a hat on your head to at least block the sun."

After giving the instructions, she took the child and left.

Looking at the group of people going away, Miss Qian couldn't look back for a long time.

The words of Concubine Cen came to her mind. The prince didn't like maids around the women in the mansion, so she could only send her away and do some chores for the time being.

But as long as you catch the prince's eye, you won't have to do those rough work anymore.

For some unknown reason, the second Miss Qian chose this section of road to clean.

She couldn't explain what she was thinking.

Ji Yunqing and Ruirui found a secluded place with shade from trees to paint together. When she was tired, she improvised and taught Ruirui to read a passage from a book.

The soft voice of the woman and the clear voice of the child reached my ears, making me curious and want to find them.

"Brother, which sister-in-law is taking her nephew to study? Let's go and take a look."

King Zhao turned around and walked in another direction.

"Don't go!"

King Lie didn't want to give up this opportunity, so he kept chattering in the other person's ear.

"Let's go and take a look. Brother, don't you want to know who is so diligent? Is he trying to get your attention?

"You are living a comfortable life, my brother. Why are all the people in my mansion so stupid? It's the same old thing every day. I am tired of it."

King Zhao would not take him there: "If you want someone to read to you, go back and find someone to read to you."

"Okay, okay, I won't go."

King Lie smacked his lips and said he didn't want to go, then he turned around and walked back the way he came.

He just went to take a look, but the third brother protected the person so closely that he refused to even take a look.

Before he had taken a few steps, he was stopped by King Zhao.

"Where are you going? The envoy from Southern Xinjiang will be here soon. Don't forget what you have to receive when the time comes."

"Tsk!"

King Lie turned back in dissatisfaction: "You said you would come a long time ago, why did it take you so long? It's so annoying!"

But he had to go anyway even though he was unwilling. Who knew how his concubine Zeng got involved in the affairs in southern Xinjiang.

Now that the person has been arrested, if there is a chance to get him out thanks to the incident involving the Saint of Southern Xinjiang, he would try his best to do so for the sake of his eight children.

But if that is not possible, then his eight children can only be filial to the princess as their mother from now on.

It is rare for a woman to give birth to eight children in one go, so King Lie still values ​​her a little.

When the two of them sat down in an open pavilion and started discussing business, they forgot about what had happened before.

After the discussion, King Lie glanced around and saw a small figure in the distance, and was immediately attracted to it.

"Brother, is that my nephew? I haven't seen him for a long time."

As he spoke, he waved the paper fan in his hand, which made him look more romantic for no reason.

King Zhao glanced at it and said: "Since I haven't seen it before, I'll take a few more glances."

"Brother, why are you so cold? This won't do. It will scare my nephews.

Otherwise, you can let me raise your nephew. I will definitely take good care of him and make sure he is fat and white."

King Zhao: "Don't you have those eight children? Why are you trying to snatch them from me?"

King Lie often boasted about having eight children.

King Zhao thought that he was trying to compete with him for that... status among the people, the kind of status that one would find in a painting pasted on the bedside of ordinary people.

"How is that the same?"

King Lie rubbed his brows in distress, "Eight children at once are really too noisy.

Especially now that they are learning to speak, when I see them, there are only two words that come to my mind: noisy! "

Whenever King Lie thought of those eight children who could only call him "Father" and "Father" when they saw him, his head would buzz.

"My oldest nephew is the best. He doesn't make any noise and has been very sensible since he was young."

King Lie continued, "I knew this child when he was little, and I held him in my arms. You have so many children now, why don't you let me raise this one, my brother?"

"I don't have as many children as you do."

King Zhao had seven sons, and King Lie had eight sons, so there was still one missing.

However, King Zhao had several daughters.

"Can this be the same?"

King Lie had a reason: "Those eight children are usually raised together. If my eldest nephew comes to my house, he will be the only favorite, do you know?

But it’s different here. You have so many children, and you haven’t taken your eldest nephew out much recently.”

He narrowed his eyes and said, "You don't like the younger one and forget about my older nephew, do you?"

Seeing that he kept talking about his nephew, King Zhao gradually became puzzled: "Why are you suddenly thinking about your nephew?"

King Lie was speechless, wondering how come this person was so quick to react?

He just wanted to take his own son home and raise him well. What's wrong with that?

You have raised this son for so long and he has taken so many advantages from you, can't you take him home to enjoy the happiness of family life?

If you can't take the child back, then just train him more.

"Brother, what you said makes me miss my nephew. I held him in my arms when he was a child.

You have forgotten for a long time that there is only one child like this in your house, not to mention in my house, so every time I see this child, I feel very rare."

"Besides, this child is so well-behaved and sensible. Don't you like him? If you don't like him, just keep him for me."

King Lie spoke with confidence, as if it was the fact.

He thought to himself that this man was lucky at the time, because he found out that this child was his own after he had eight children.

If it were before, he would have to compete with King Zhao for the child.

After King Lie left, King Zhao went back and thought for a long time: "Something is wrong"

The fourth child's reaction was not right today.

The study room was stuffy and we had to go to a place with a good view to talk...

Also, that was his eldest son, so why did the fourth brother specifically remind him to pay attention to his eldest son?

Although he has more sons, he is still very satisfied with his eldest son.

This child was taught by him personally and is the eldest brother of his many children. He values ​​this child very much.

Although the princess now has a child, it is very likely that the child will be raised by the princess and become his "legitimate son".

and many more……

King Zhao suddenly thought of something and frowned.

"Someone, come and check for me..."

Ji Yunqing read the book several times with the child. Ruirui had a much better memory than Ji Yunqing, and soon he was able to hold the book and read it seriously.

The child's voice was clear and sounded very good. Ji Yunqing was listening attentively.

Later, she gradually felt sleepy and asked her maid to make a bed for her in front of a large rock that was more than one meter tall. She lay down there and dozed off.

Why did you choose a big rock?

Ji Yunqing felt that the stone was not shaky and was very solid. It could also block one side of the view, giving him a different sense of security.

In this environment, Ji Yunqing slowly closed his eyes.

I don’t know when, but suddenly there was a warm thing in my arms, but it didn’t affect my sleep.

Ji Yunqing was too lazy to open his eyes and continued to fall into a deeper sleep.

So, when King Zhao came over, what he saw was the mother and son snuggling together and sleeping soundly.

Xuancao explained softly, "The concubine said she wanted to rest here for a while, so this is..."

King Zhao raised his hand to stop her from speaking and looked at the mother and son in front of him.

Seeing the prince like this, Eunuch Shi thought to himself, it seems that although the prince doesn't say it on the surface, he still cares about the Fourth Young Master very much.

Just now, when the prince arrived, he went to read the books that the fourth young master had read.

Are you going to take the Fourth Young Master back now?

Unfortunately, Concubine Ji was going to be criticized.

How can you let such a young child sleep outside on the ground? Isn't this ridiculous?

If a bug crawls on your body, even though you have anthelmintics, you can't be so safe.

What a pity.

He clearly saw that the prince was very satisfied with Concubine Ji, but now... Alas!

After watching for a long time and seeing that no one had woken up, King Zhao leaned over, reached out and held the older one in his arms.

Turn around and leave.

How can you sleep outside?

Seeing King Zhao picking up the person and leaving, Eunuch Shi was stunned.

Looking back, he saw that the Fourth Young Master was still sleeping on the ground. He hurriedly asked, "What happened to the Fourth Young Master..."

King Zhao said without even turning his head: "Wake him up, or ask him to take her back. Do you still need to ask me?"

Eunuch Shi: "...Yes, Your Majesty"

No wonder he is a eunuch!

The prince couldn't blame him. After all, he was a eunuch without any roots and didn't quite understand this.

He carried the person all the way back. King Zhao was tall and had long legs, and was full of strength, so he quickly carried the person back to the Osmanthus Courtyard.

Ji Yunqing woke up and stretched comfortably.

I just felt that I slept so comfortably that my bones felt soft.

She started sleeping in the afternoon and has been sleeping until now... huh?

and many more!

Ji Yunqing froze as he stretched out his arms.

Her eyes suddenly widened. Wasn't she sleeping on the floor outside? How come she was in her bed now?

She looked down at the clothes she was wearing and realized that they were still the same clothes she wore when going out. Her mind became even more confused.

No, how did she come back?

I don't have any impression at all.

Ji Yunqing's expression changed drastically.

"Daylily, daylily!"

Xuancao came over quickly: "Master, what's wrong? What happened?"

Pulling his hair in distress, Ji Yunqing was heartbroken: "Hemerocallis, your master seems to be even more stupid!"

Xuancao was confused: "What do you mean, Master?"

In response to her, Ji Yunqing had an even more distressed expression: "I actually forgot how I got back today, and I even forgot to take off my clothes before going to bed, and you didn't even remind me.

Tell me, are you stupid with me? "

Hemerocallis: “…”

She tried to explain: "Master"

A light laugh came from the room.

Ji Yunqing subconsciously looked over there, and then he realized belatedly, there's someone else?

Oh, it turned out to be King Zhao and Ruirui. They were sitting face to face in front of the window with a game of Go in front of them.

Um? ?

Why are they?

Ji Yunqing sat on the bed, completely shocked: "Why are you here?"

"When did you get here?"

She hadn't heard any noise since she woke up, which meant he had been there for a long time.

...has been here for a long time!

At this time, King Zhao said slowly: "If I were not here, I would not know that Yunqing has such a lovely side of you."

Ruirui's grandmother said in a sweet voice: "Mom, when I woke up, my father was here. By the way, my father taught me how to play Go. Let's play together next time."

He memorized the rules of chess, so even if his mother forgot, he could remind her at any time, so if he learned it, it was equivalent to his mother learning it with him.

Ji Yunqing looked at the two people, one big and one small, in front of her with blank eyes. She had just woken up and her mind was still a little confused.

"Wait a minute before you talk, I'm going to wash my face first."

Having said that, Ji Yunqing got out of bed and went out to wash his face.

Only after a handful of cold water was splashed on his face did Ji Yunqing finally wake up completely.

She asked Xuancao: "When did the prince come? Why didn't anyone wake me up?"

"After you fell asleep outside, the prince came and carried you back home. He never left since then."

"Oh!"

Ji Yunqing put his hands on the edge of the basin, staring blankly at a certain spot in the void, wondering what was going on in his mind.

So he ignored Daylily's hesitation to speak.

She used the excuse of washing her face, so she went back quickly.

After returning, Ji Yunqing returned to his usual attitude.

"Your Majesty, are you playing chess? Let me see."

Seeing her coming, King Zhao withdrew his hand and looked at her with a smile.

"If I don't come over, you and Ruirui will have to innovate the way of playing Go?"

As soon as he came up to accuse her, Ji Yunqing curled his lips secretly, "I just forgot..."

Thinking that Ruirui was still there, Ji Yunqing decided to try to flatter himself, and immediately opened his mouth and said:

"I just want to teach Ruirui more. Don't stick to the rules. Think about things from multiple perspectives. You can challenge the rules and break them when necessary."

"For example, in this game of chess, the predecessors stipulated this way of playing, and I stipulated another way. In the eyes of future generations, I am also a predecessor!"

Ji Yunqing's words made a lot of sense, but King Zhao was disturbed. He thought that he should not stick to the old ways and should consider things from multiple perspectives... right?

King Lie's every move and smile suddenly came to his mind.
