Chapter 512
With Ji Yunqing's repeated assurances, she finally waited until King Zhao left.
Ji Yunqing was so attentive in escorting King Zhao to the gate of the courtyard. He held the door with one hand, his eyes almost filled with tears.
"My Lord, please take care!"
It’s not easy, it’s really not easy for her.
As a result, when Ji Yunqing raised his eyes, he saw Wang's concubine, dressed in jewels and gorgeous clothes, walking towards him.
"Ji Shufei"
The man who had just taken a few steps turned back.
Ji Yunqing had no time to care about the beautifully dressed concubine. She looked at King Zhao in surprise: "Your Majesty?"
What's wrong with you??
King Zhao said calmly, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to say. Why? Are you not welcome?"
Ji Yunqing: “…” I swear to God, how could she dare?
She quickly said: "No, no."
When the concubine saw King Zhao, she ran up to him with great joy.
Her eyes fell on Prince Zhao, and she saluted shyly: "Your Majesty~"
King Zhao nodded calmly: "Yes"
"What do you want from Concubine Ji?"
"My Lord, I'm fine."
How could the concubine reveal her entire plan to King Zhao?
She was just shy, lowering her head and not daring to look at King Zhao, her voice was hoarse: "I am bored on weekdays, and Concubine Ji happened to have nothing to do, so we arranged to keep each other company."
Ji Yunqing was suddenly shocked.
Who is as bored as you?
She is busy.
In fact, if you look at this passage alone, there is nothing wrong with it, and she wouldn't be so flustered.
But King Zhao just suspected that she was having an affair with the prince's woman. Now, with the words of the king's concubine, it can almost be used as strong evidence in court.
Ji Yunqing immediately looked at Concubine Wang with a gloomy gaze.
Sister, you have added another smooth road to my foolish journey!
"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. Things are not as you think."
Ji Yunqing paused strangely, his mind frantically thinking about how to clear himself.
She couldn't reveal King Zhao's true suspicion of her to others.
Wang Shiqi seems to be a low-key person, but she gets along well with everyone.
Ji Yunqing had secretly observed that Wang Shiqiong could be seen from time to time around Wang Fei, Concubine Li, Concubine Liu, and the other two concubines in the mansion.
His interpersonal skills are very unusual.
Therefore, she must not be allowed to discover the direction in which King Zhao is suspicious of her. Otherwise, if this guy betrays her, how can she live a peaceful life in the future?
If someone throws himself into her arms, wouldn't she be unable to clear herself even if she jumps into the Yellow River?
and so……
Ji Yunqing decided to turn the tables!
"Your Majesty, you said you came to see me, but since you came, I have been like a transparent person. Can you still see me?"
She glanced at King Zhao with pretended resentment.
Then he said to Concubine Wang with a half-smile: "Concubine Wang, do you still remember me?"
Concubine Wang hurriedly said, "I remember, why don't you remember?"
She seemed unaware of the turbulent situation, and said to Ji Yunqing with a coquettish look on her face: "I can forget anyone, but I can never forget our Concubine Ji!"
Ji Yunqing's scalp tingled. How could she be so precise?
Hit the spot precisely!
Before Ji Yunqing could speak, King Zhao's cold voice came: "My concubine is fine, but Concubine Ji has a lot of things to do. If it is not necessary, please do not disturb her."
Ji Yunqing: “Ah?”
What does she have so much to do?
"Concubine Ji has to take care of the children, make clothes and shoes for the king, and cook soup for the king. She is very busy."
Take care of children?
Make clothes and shoes?
Make...soup?
After hearing what he said, Ji Yunqing suddenly didn't know his own weight.
Her eyes lit up and she said happily, "Yes! I made you vomit and have diarrhea after eating the food I cooked. It's all my fault. But your health is fine, Your Majesty!"
King Zhao/Concubine: …Isn’t cooking about skill? When did it become about health?
After calming down, King Zhao still gave Ji Yunqing face in front of outsiders. He looked at the concubine with a deep gaze and said, "Go back first. Don't come again if there is nothing important in the future."
Concubine Wang's instinctive reaction was that the prince was unhappy because she came to see Ji Yunqing.
but why?
The next moment, she heard King Zhao say calmly, "Recently, Concubine Ji has to learn how to cook soup."
Concubine Wang: "..."
She understood instantly, looked at King Zhao with gratitude, her breath was a little unstable, and she said with endless fear: "Thank you, Your Majesty"
After saying this, she looked at Ji Yunqing again, then turned around and left quickly.
Ji Yunqing's eyes widened instantly and he was furious.
"Ok??"
What does she mean?
Who are you looking down on?
Ji Yunqing was furious, but suddenly she heard King Zhao say casually: "It seems that your sisterly love is not always true."
As soon as he heard that Ji Yunqing was going to cook, he ran away immediately.
Ji Yunqing: “…”
She was speechless.
I don't know what he was thinking about, but King Zhao actually chuckled and kindly suggested: "Why don't you cook for your sisters and see how many people can come?"
King Zhao served as the control group without any instruction: "If they don't come to taste your cooking, I can give it a try."
The other servants present lowered their heads tightly. The prince wanted Concubine Ji to be deserted by everyone!
Ji Yunqing also exclaimed in disbelief: "My Lord, they don't have a good body like you..."
Thinking of something, Ji Yunqing broke out in a cold sweat.
She asked why King Zhao suddenly mentioned her cooking skills, it turned out that he wanted to replace a group of new people!
Just think about it, she tortured other people in the palace to death, and then King Zhao used this excuse to kill her, and then easily welcomed new beautiful boys and girls into the palace...
hiss!
This guy has a very vicious mind!
The more Ji Yunqing thought about it, the more he felt that he was right. That's it!
So he tactfully pleaded for everyone: "Your Majesty, there is no need to rush to kill everyone, right? I mean, the mansion is quite large, and it will be fully occupied if we bring in more people."
In the past, King Zhao didn't like to observe Ji Yunqing's expression, so he was fooled by her for a long time. Now that King Zhao took a closer look, he saw that Ji Yunqing's face was full of those straightforward thoughts.
I don’t know what this woman is thinking about all day long?
King Zhao just didn't understand. How could she have misinterpreted such a simple matter to that extent?
"I have never thought about those——"
"Forget it, you should stay in the yard obediently from now on, and don't leave the house without permission."
King Zhao threatened her: "Although I have refused, I cannot guarantee what means the Saint of Southern Border will use. Didn't you say she wanted to torture you?"
Ji Yunqing nodded quickly: "Yeah, I won't go out"
King Zhao finally left, and Ji Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at the maids behind her and said, "Spread the news that the prince was angry because the concubine came to see me today."
Xuancao raised her head in confusion: "Concubine, why is this?"
If this gets out, who in the mansion will dare to get close to his concubine in the future?
Don't you have to go around in circles?
Ji Yunqing curled his lips and said meaningfully: "This is exactly the effect I want."
Now, who dares to come and seduce her?
The situation in the mansion is a bit chaotic now.
Who knows how many people in this mansion are like Wang's concubine, who want to use a shield or amulet as a protection?
What if I was not careful that day and dragged her into a pit?
She thought about it again: "Don't be too deliberate, forget it, just do it as usual." I believe that those who should know will know the news.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunqing stood in the yard with a bitter face and lectured everyone: "From now on, when you go out, no matter where you are, you must be more careful.
You all know how the prince treated the concubine who came to look for me just now. It seems that Prince Zhao is disgusted by the factions in the palace.
At this point, she frowned slightly and sighed deeply: "The prince really hates the collusion between the various places in the backyard"
With just a few words, Ji Yunqing characterized the matter as the prince hating the collusion and fighting among the backyarders, perfectly reducing the sisterhood to the lowest point.
"Princess, this is how it is. I can't do anything about it."
Ji Yunqing sat sobbingly opposite the princess. She had just dealt with King Zhao in the morning, and in the afternoon the princess found an excuse to invite her over.
At this moment, she was covering her face with her sleeves, sobbing softly, her eyes were red, and a few strands of hair were scattered, making her look a little dishevelled, but also a little more gentle.
She choked up and said, "That's what the prince said, so it's not that I don't want to make your suggestion, but I really don't dare to."
The princess didn't believe her at all: "What else are you afraid of?"
She looked at the woman in front of her with a face as beautiful as a delicate flower, and her eyes swept over her face and body inch by inch. She was really getting more and more beautiful.
He said word by word: "Aren't you very brave? You can even let others stay overnight."
God knows how angry she was when she heard the news.
Especially when she heard the time, it was the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, she was so angry that she laughed.
Hurrah!
It’s really great!
It seems that while she is serving the prince here, Ji Yunqing is not idle either, and is making love with others.
Hearing the princess' question, Ji Yunqing's heart skipped a beat. Who told the secret?
How could the princess know?
Ji Yunqing continued to cover her face with her sleeves, crying: "Princess, I, I have no choice. After all, I am weak and my status is just a concubine. How can I resist the order of Concubine Wen..."
"What's more, Concubine Wen is a good person, kind and honest, and you may have some misunderstandings about her."
She said hesitantly: "If you knew her better, you would know that Concubine Wen is not a bad person. She said she would be good to me."
When he said this, there was a little more light in Ji Yunqing's eyes, and his eyes and heart were full of Concubine Wen.
She did not dare to let King Zhao know about this because one of them was King Zhao's wife and the other was his cousin and concubine.
Once the matter is exposed, she will be the one pushed out to take the blame, and then she will be the one who intends to seduce the other two.
But she dared to let the Princess and Concubine Wen know each other.
There are two consequences. One is that the two of them understand each other and live in peace. The other is that they fight and she watches from the other side.
After all, these two people were in the backyard, and if she concealed the truth from each other, she would end up with nothing to show for it.
In the following days, Ji Yunqing made up his mind.
In front of the princess, he praised Concubine Wen for being cute and straightforward, and in front of Concubine Wen, he would mention the princess's generosity and magnanimity from time to time.
"Sister Wen, if I have time, I will buy you some clothes. Then we can wear the same clothes and you will know that we are the best of sisters.
The princess gave me a lot of money last time, you can have whatever you want."
"Sister Wen, the Double Ninth Festival is coming soon. It is said that people go to appreciate chrysanthemums and climb mountains on the Double Ninth Festival. Why don't we go and ask the princess to let us go out of the palace and climb the mountain together?
The princess is always dignified and generous, she must be easy to talk to."
"Sister Wen, let's go with the princess..."
This made Concubine Wen extremely annoyed.
She once again realized the concubine's seductive methods - ever since she dragged Ji Yunqing to get married on Mid-Autumn Festival, Concubine Wen has always regarded herself as Ji Yunqing's principal wife.
The way he looked at the princess was almost the same as looking at a concubine who only knew how to flirt with others.
She pulled Ji Yunqing's hand over, and skillfully put one hand around Ji Yunqing's waist, and said angrily: "Don't always mention others."
Just as Ji Yunqing was about to speak again, he saw Concubine Wen slapping a stack of banknotes over and saying, "Here, this is for you."
Suddenly a stack of banknotes was stuffed into Ji Yunqing's arms. Ji Yunqing held the money in his arms, looking very confused: "Sister, what are you doing..."
"Isn't it just a few banknotes I give you?" Concubine Wen said unhappily. Of course, she would not give less than what the princess could give.
"no no no"
Ji Yunqing looked at the banknotes in front of him and refused repeatedly: "No, no, no, I can't take it. I won't accept it without merit."
"If you don't want it, just throw it away. Anyway, I won't take back things I give away." Concubine Wen looked away, laughing secretly in her heart.
Ji Yunqing's eyes were glued to the banknote, yet she was pushing it away. Could she bear it?
Upon hearing what the concubine said, Ji Yunqing was afraid that she would really throw away the banknote, so he quickly put it in his arms happily: "Don't throw it away, this banknote is innocent."
Hey, the banknote is hers!
So what if King Zhao fined her a large sum of silver?
She can get more!
While being intimate with Concubine Wen, Ji Yunqing was called over by the princess from time to time.
At this time, she began to praise Concubine Wen with an innocent and naive face.
"Princess, the concubine is really nice. She draws pictures for me, takes me to various places in the palace, and gave me a lot of jewelry last time, which she picked out specially for me."
As Ji Yunqing was talking, she pointed at the hairpin in her hair and said, "Look, isn't it beautiful? Sister Wen said it suits me very well."
This was the jewelry that Concubine Wen left for her on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Ji Yunqing was going to meet the princess, so she specially picked out a hairpin to bring with her before coming.
The princess felt annoyed when she heard the praise from her old rival, but when she heard Ji Yunqing's words, she couldn't help but look at Ji Yunqing.
The woman has smooth and shiny black hair, fair skin, and crescent-shaped eyes when she smiles. She has a clear and bright look, and she is beautiful in every way.
This is the look that the princess likes very much. The prince will not smile at her like this, but Ji Yunqing will.
"Princess, you are stunned. Isn't this hairpin beautiful? Haha."
The princess came back to her senses and looked at Ji Yunqing.
This person is good in every way, except for the hairpin on her head, which is particularly annoying. How did she do this? How can she be so ugly?
