Chapter 507
The princess saw her expression clearly and explained with a strange expression: "It's not about marrying a wife."
Not marrying a wife? What is it?
Ji Yunqing found out soon.
Below the building, a large group of people, some riding horses or sitting in carriages, were passing through the bustling street.
Judging from their clothes and appearance, they have a rather strange style.
However, the most eye-catching ones were the three people in the lead, riding tall horses.
One is King Zhao, one is King Lie, and the other is a bald-headed exotic boiled egg.
Among them, the braised eggs were the most eye-catching, but after appreciating them, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on King Zhao, who had a handsome face, a straight waist, and an elegant appearance.
But King Zhao didn't look around and didn't pay attention to the people around him.
King Lie was swaggering along the way, and from time to time he waved at the young girls and wives with the gold-sprinkled nanmu folding fan in his hand, attracting a lot of shy glances.
Ji Yunqing was watching with great interest, and pointed to the princess: "Princess, look, that young scholar standing there is actually blushing when he looks at King Lie. Haha, what is he blushing about—" King Lie didn't even greet him.
As a result, when she turned around, before the smile on Ji Yunqing's face disappeared, she saw the princess staring at her intently.
Ji Yunqing's face flushed suddenly, and her eyes could not avoid him: "Princess...you, why are you looking at me?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but bite her pink lips lightly.
The princess stretched out her hand and gently placed the tip of her index finger on her soft lips.
"Don't bite!"
Ji Yunqing lowered his eyes and saw a hint of crimson on the fingertips of the princess's hand as she retracted it.
This is the lip balm on her lips.
Before going out in the morning, Ji Yunqing not only dressed herself up carefully, but also put on lip balm.
The princess also noticed this touch of red blood, and she gently licked it with her bare fingertips, leaving only a faint blush.
"I wonder what kind of fragrance Yunqing used on her lip balm today?"
Ji Yunqing didn't understand: "Huh?"
What kind of fragrance?
"It's the kind issued by the government... um"
On the busy streets
King Zhao seemed to see a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. He wanted to look up to confirm, but was stopped by King Lie beside him.
"Third brother, what are you looking at?"
The Braised Egg King standing by also looked over.
King Zhao had to focus all his attention on what was in front of him and said coldly: "I didn't see anything."
King Lie smiled meaningfully and glanced at the second-floor window of a restaurant.
"It's okay if you don't see anything, just look at the road"
He usually walked around waving randomly, and he did see two familiar faces.
The young lady Ji from the Third Brother's residence had waved at him very hard, but now...
He would never tell the third brother what he had just seen.
Just let the third brother be buried in the drum and wait to see the joke.
But King Lie couldn't help but stepped forward and sighed: "Third brother, the relationship between your wives and concubines is really good!" This is simply a case of keeping the wealth within the family.
King Zhao had little interest in what he said.
He rode his horse forward a few steps.
King Lie looked at his cold and lonely back.
Tsk!
The third sister is busy alone downstairs, while the two rouge flowers upstairs are fragrant.
He was just waiting to see the day when the third brother would have a moment.
Upstairs in Zui Xiang Tower, Ji Yunqing's mind was full of mixed thoughts. It turned out that her trip out to have fun today was not without cost!
The princess touched Ji Yunqing's long hair and said, "You like going out. I'll take you out to play again when I come back. Okay?"
Ji Yunqing looked at her speechlessly. Do you really want to come out and play?
She rolled her eyes and took on a pitiful look.
"I still don't want it"
The princess stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yunqing reached out and held her hand, shaking it coquettishly: "You are not the prince yet, do you know?
The last time we went out of the house, the prince somehow found out about it, and he actually punished me and confiscated all the private money I had saved with great effort!"
"That was the money I've been saving since I got married. It took me a long time to save it up, and it's all gone like this."
"Your Majesty has such a cruel heart!"
"Even now when I think about it, I still feel very sad. What if he finds out about it again..."
Ji Yunqing didn't dare to think further. She couldn't help but shudder, like a poor little white rabbit whose carrots had been taken away by the big bad wolf.
There was nothing I could do, and I didn't dare to take revenge. I could only work hard to collect carrots again, but it was so difficult.
The princess couldn't help but smile: "So miserable!"
"Yeah." Ji Yunqing didn't look at her face, but just nodded heavily.
"Then how about this, no matter how much the prince fined you, I will give you double it after we return home, okay?"
When Ji Yunqing heard this, he was surprised! Is there such a good thing?
She nodded immediately: "Okay, okay, the princess is still the best to me."
It's settled now.
Regardless of whether there is hope for the promotion the princess mentioned, she is not being taken advantage of in vain.
Ji Yunqing was in a good mood.
After returning to the palace, the princess invited Ji Yunqing to have dinner with her, but Ji Yunqing cleverly found an excuse to slip away.
What else to eat?
This princess's style of doing things is much bolder and more assertive than Concubine Wen's.
Don't be careless, or you might end up giving the meal to her.
Ji Yunqing sat in the yard, touching his lips absentmindedly from time to time.
The lip balm I put on before going out in the morning is now gone.
Nanny An told her that Ruirui was taken away by Concubine Wen today, but before Ji Yunqing came back, Ruirui had already been sent back.
This made Ji Yunqing feel relieved before he had time to worry.
Even so, Ji Yunqing still called the child to his side and asked Ruirui about what happened to him today.
Although Ruirui is young, there is no problem with her language logic.
Soon he told her that Concubine Wen took him to a big place and the journey was very tiring. He met a beautiful grandma there and later they went out to play.
Ji Yunqing listened and found that there was nothing wrong. He observed carefully and found that the child had no injuries or illness, so he felt relieved.
"No problem, go play now."
Patting the little guy on the back, Ji Yunqing sent him out to play.
At this time, a maid said that she was sent by Concubine Wen to deliver a message.
Naturally, there was no need for Ji Yunqing to entertain them personally, so Nanny An stepped forward to ask the reason.
After a while, Nanny An came over and said, "Master, Concubine Wen said that you should get ready tomorrow and go to the palace with her for the banquet."
Ji Yunqing was surprised and pointed at himself: "Enter the palace for a banquet? Me?"
It’s not that she looks down on herself, but at her level, she is not capable of such things.
Nanny An nodded: "Yes, concubine."
"I asked a few questions and was told that the Empress Chen in the palace asked to see you."
Seeing her master's worry, Nanny An quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, Concubine. I think it's possible that Concubine Chen saw our Fourth Young Master today and thought he was cute, so she wanted to meet yours."
