Chapter 520
Time quickly came to September.
There was suddenly a visitor to the Osmanthus Courtyard.
"invitation?"
Ji Yunqing took the invitation handed to him by Concubine Wang, opened it and took a look.
Then she laughed: "Is Concubine Wang going to have a birthday? Why bother our birthday girl to come and deliver the invitation in person?"
"I have nothing to do, so I thought it was time for me to come here in person." Concubine Wang smiled at Ji Yunqing with curved eyebrows.
She was wearing a goose yellow blouse with a gold-sprinkled collar today, which made her look pretty and charming.
"Also, I also want to take this opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with you, Concubine."
Ji Yunqing understood.
Last time, the king's concubine tried to win her over, but was rejected by King Zhao by accident. Is she still not giving up and planning to try again?
"In that case, I will obey your orders and will be ready to participate when the time comes."
After sending Wang Shiqi away, Ji Yunqing looked at her gradually receding figure. Nanny An asked, "Concubine, if I can tell you, it's up to you whether you want to go or not."
It was just a concubine's birthday, but he actually came to invite her personally.
"Mammy, don't say that. Concubine Wang came to invite me personally. How can I not go?"
Ji Yunqing glanced at her and said, "No matter how much I am a concubine, I am still the prince's person. Madam..."
Nanny An thought that the concubine was going to say that she was disrespectful to the concubine Wang.
But Ji Yunqing continued: "If you don't like it, just find a place where no one is around and say it secretly. You have to do a good job on the surface."
How can it be so open and aboveboard?
Doesn't this make her look like a vicious villain?
Nanny An's eyes suddenly widened.
Is this right?
Nanny An suggested that Ji Yunqing not go to celebrate Concubine Wang's birthday. In fact, it was not because she hated her, but because she knew that it would be easier for people to do something to her in such a crowded place.
If you get tricked or something happens, it will be too late to regret.
But since Ji Yunqing decided to go, Nanny An would not strongly object, so she went to prepare various things.
The master is in the palace and is bound to encounter various things, so it would be good to go and take a look.
After hearing what Nanny An said, Ji Yunqing remained silent.
It's true that he can say both good and bad things with just one mouth.
Concubine Wang's birthday party was scheduled very quickly, just two days later.
On that day, Ji Yunqing changed into a beautiful new dress. The light green skirt was embroidered with flowers and green grass, and colorful butterflies fluttering in the air.
A gust of wind blew, making the whole person look particularly smart and beautiful.
Ji Yunqing nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go!"
She walked to the door, glanced at the yard, and asked casually, "Where's Ruirui?"
It was Ruyi who answered her: "The fourth young master said that he had something to do, and he and the other young masters are said to be very busy these days."
After hearing this answer, Ji Yunqing didn't ask any more questions. He thought it was probably some game between kids.
Concubine Wang booked the birthday party at Mingxiang Garden.
Hearing this, Ji Yunqing raised his eyebrows slightly.
Generally, the women in the backyard would gather together or entertain guests in Sengoku Garden, which was closer to the residence of the women.
Mingxiang Garden is a large place, some of which are facing the second gate, and it is usually used for more formal occasions.
Wang Shiqi is quite capable to be able to apply for this place, but it is also possible that she used superpowers.
Thinking this in his mind, Ji Yunqing quickly brought his maid to Mingxiang Garden.
Many people had already come here. After Ji Yunqing arrived, she found that Concubine Wang had not only invited her, but also Concubine Li and Concubine Lou.
Ji Yunqing thought about it and somewhat understood.
She seemed to have seen Concubine Wang getting close to these two people, especially Concubine Li, they had a really good relationship.
In contrast, she had almost never seen Concubine Wang and Concubine Xu get close, which was somewhat inconsistent with Concubine Wang's smooth and versatile personality.
But since these two have such a good relationship, why did Concubine Wang come to find her?
This thought only flashed through his mind for a moment and was quickly interrupted by Wang's concubine.
"Concubine Ji, you are finally here, please take a seat."
Ji Yunqing smiled, reached out and held Wang Shiqi's hand affectionately, with a smile on his face: "You came to invite me personally, how could I not come?"
Her sudden intimate gesture made Wang Shiqi's arms stiffen for a moment, but she quickly reacted.
"It is my great honor that Concubine Ji has come here. My sisters are all talking about you."
She pulled Ji Yunqing's hand and walked inside affectionately.
Although it was a birthday party, Wang Shiqi did not decorate it in a grand and formal manner, but just gathered everyone together to have fun.
However, all kinds of flowers and colorful silks were hung everywhere for careful decoration, and there was faint sound of stringed instruments surrounding the place, the music was clear and melodious, and it was obvious that a lot of effort was put into it.
Ji Yunqing looked around the venue and let Concubine Wang pull him inside.
As she walked, she spoke: "What are you talking about me? Are you saying bad things about me while I'm not around?" Her tone was relaxed and smiling, and it was obvious that she was just joking.
Concubine Lou heard this and said loudly, "Concubine Ji is interrogating us right after she arrived. This is unbelievable. Who dares to say bad things about you?"
"What are you complimenting me on?"
Ji Yunqing sat in the middle of the crowd without any hesitation, with his back straight and his chin slightly raised, looking proud: "I'm already here, praise me as much as you want."
Everyone laughed instantly, and everyone was praising her.
Concubine Lou even improvised a poem to praise her.
Ji Yunqing was confused after hearing this.
"Wait, I haven't reacted yet. No, can you please write down this poem so I can hang it on the wall of my yard? If anyone sees it later, they won't want to destroy my wall again."
Concubine Lou covered her mouth and laughed: "You are embarrassed to hang up, but I am embarrassed to write"
Concubine He immediately glared at Ji Yunqing: "Well, you are talking about me?" Isn't this saying that she is very strong and can easily push down the wall of Osmanthus Courtyard?
"Can you blame me? It's obvious that the wall of your yard is not strong. I just pushed it lightly and it collapsed..."
In response to this, Ji Yunqing wanted to say that this child is really strong.
If you go to the dock to carry big bags, you will make a fortune!
In this relaxed atmosphere, someone suggested: "It's a rare opportunity today. Chrysanthemums happen to be in full bloom in the garden. Why don't we drink together?"
"OK"
"Okay!"
Ji Yunqing was a little shy: "I have never drunk alcohol..."
Everyone said: "It's okay, it's okay, just a few drinks."
"I heard that the mansion has just brewed a batch of peach blossom wine, which tastes wonderful but not intoxicating. Why don't we try it?"
Wang's concubine also said: "If you can't hold your liquor, there are guest rooms in this garden, it's just right to rest there when the time comes."
Seeing everyone saying so, Ji Yunqing could only helplessly say: "Okay!"
It seems that I have to drink.
I just don't know, after going through so much trouble, who is he planning to target here?
